Examination of sheep in which injection of Yeldif® induced sudden death

areas Two breeders from the Başkale district of the Van province and the Hizan district of the Bitlis province reported deaths of their lambs one day after injection of a commercial preparation containing a combination of Se and Vit E (Yeldif ® ). Purulent-hemorrhagic-necrotic myositis was detected at the injection site during necropsy of the lambs (2 animals) brought to the Pathology Department of our Faculty by these breeders. This study was conducted to determine whether these post-injection deaths occurred as a result of the drug used or due to a faulty application of the medicine by the breeders. The trial period for this study was 1 week. Eighteen 2-month-old lambs were used in this study. The lambs were divided into three groups (control and 2 study groups) of 6 lambs each. An injection of 1 ml (recommended dose) of the product purchased in the market from the same batch as the one that had caused the deaths was administered I.M. to lambs in the control group. The medicine reported to have caused the deaths by the breeders was administered to the first study group (A) at 1 ml I.M. and to the second study group (B) at 3 ml I.M. (three times the recommended dose). The lambs were bled for biochemical analysis before the administration, on the first day after the administration, and at the end of the trial. Necropsies were performed on dead animals during the trial and on all animals at the end of the trial. At the end of the trial, no clinical-pathological findings were noted in lambs of the control group and group A. However, in all lambs of group B, emphysematous gangrene was detected at the injection site. Cl. chauvoei was isolated and identified in bacteriological and cultural examinations. It was concluded that bacterial contamination occurred as a result of incorrect drug administration by the breeders and injection of a high dose of the contaminated drug.
Pretrained Embeddings for Stance Detection with Hierarchical Capsule Network on Social Media

Stance detection on social media aims to identify the stance of social media users toward a topic or claim, which can provide powerful information for various downstream tasks. Many existing stance detection approaches neglect to model the deep semantic representation information in tweets and do not explore aggregating the hierarchical features among words, thus degrading performance. To address these issues, this article proposes a novel deep learning approach Pretrained Embeddings for Stance Detection with Hierarchical Capsule Network (PE-HCN) without complicated preprocessing. Specifically, PE-HCN first adopts a pretrained language model and then uses a related textual entailment task for fine-tuning to obtain the deep textual representations of tweets. The PE-HCN approach extends the dynamic routing scheme to cope with these deep textual representations by utilizing primary capsules for routing the information among words in each tweet and applying secondary capsules to transmit the aggregated features to each category capsule accordingly. Moreover, to improve the confidences of the category capsules, we design an adaptive feedback mechanism to dynamically strengthen the routing signals. Through experiments on three benchmark datasets, compared with the state-of-the-art baselines, the extensive results exhibit that PE-HCN achieves competitive improvements of up to 6.32%, 2.09%, and 1.8%, respectively.
Professional quality of life among female nurses

The aim of the study was to find the difference in the professional quality of life- compassion satisfaction, burnout and compassion fatigue among female staff nurses and nurses in charge. A non-experimental causal comparative research design was used. A total of 20 female nurses (11 staff nurses and 9 nurses in charge) currently working in private hospitals in different cities of India, took part in the study. The participants were chosen randomly and by snowball sampling. The Professional Quality of Life Scale was administered to them and three independent sample t- tests were run in order to analyse the data. It was found that staff nurses scored higher in burnout, compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue as compared to nurses in charge thus accepting all the three stated hypotheses. Although there were limitations for the research, the data was found to be significant and can be useful for further research to help introduce interventions for nurses at an earlier level and improve the professional quality of life of nurses.
Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic implications for Eurydema maracandica (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome of Eurydema maracandica was sequenced and was 15,391 bp long with 76.82% A + T. There were 37 typical genes including 13 protein-coding genes/PCGs, 22 transfer RNA/tRNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNA/rRNAs. The 690 bp D-loop region was located between 12S rRNA and trnI-Ile. All PCGs started with ATN codons, except COI, ATP8, and ND1, and ended with TAA, except COI, COII, and ND5. Phylogenetic analyses indicated highly supported monophyly for each family, and Pentatomidae species formed a solid monophyletic group. Eurydema maracandica and Eurydema gebleri were clustered sibling clades, and the genus Halyomorpha was close to Eurydema.
A Review of anomaly detection techniques in advanced metering infrastructure

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a component of electrical networks that combines the energy and telecommunication infrastructure to collect, measure and analyze consumer energy consumptions. One of the main elements of AMI is a smart meter that used to manage electricity generation and distribution to end-user. The rapid implementation of AMI raises the need to deliver better maintenance performance and monitoring more efficiently while keeping consumers informed on their consumption habits. The convergence from analog to digital has made AMI tend to inherit the current vulnerabilities of digital devices that prone to cyber-attack, where attackers can manipulate the consumer energy consumption for their benefit. A huge amount of data generated in AMI allows attackers to manipulate the consumer energy consumption to their benefit once they manage to hack into the AMI environment. Anomalies detection is a technique can be used to identify any rare event such as data manipulation that happens in AMI based on the data collected from the smart meter. The purpose of this study is to review existing studies on anomalies techniques used to detect data manipulation in AMI and smart grid systems. Furthermore, several measurement methods and approaches used by existing studies will be addressed.
Experimental characterizations of fabric correlation in 2D rod assemblies subjected to biaxial shearing

Abstract This study provides experimental evidence of the correlation between different fabric tensors in 2D granular assemblies subjected to shearing. Two testing assemblies with different elliptical rods were used and the shearing tests were conducted in a tailor-made biaxial cell. Both the rods and cell were produced using the 3D printing technique. Throughout the shearing, three fabric tensors, i.e., the particle orientation-based, the contact normal-based and the void-based fabric tensors, were studied. In particular, to obtain the void-based fabric tensor, the best-fit ellipse method was used, which can better describe the irregular void geometric information compared with the conventional methods described in the literature. In both samples, a strong linear relationship between the anisotropy intensity factors of the three fabric tensors was found. However, such a correlation was not identified when the void-based fabric tensor was quantified using the conventional methods. The discrepancy demonstrates the importance of properly quantifying the fabric tensor, and by using the best-fit ellipse method, the correlation between the fabric tensors can be better observed, which is crucial to understand the constitutive relationship in granules.
Perforating Sialolith: A Case Report

Sialolithiasis is one of the common disease affecting salivary gland of head and neck region mainly submandibular gland. They are calcified deposits found in gland or its duct, composed of organic and inorganic substances. Rarely they enlarge in size above 10 mm and cause perforation of the floor of mouth. Such sialoliths are called as giant sialoliths. They manifest as a hard swelling in floor of mouth, associated with pain. Diagnosis is confirmed with the help of radiographs – occlusal radiograph, orthopantomogram or computed tomography scan in which the stone manifest as well defined radio-opacities. Various modalities of treatment were described in literature, which include intraoral/extraoral sialolithotomy, milking of gland, resection of gland etc. The choice of treatment should be based on size and location of the stone. Here we report a case of perforating sialolith in a 62 year old male patient treated by intraoral sialolithotomy.

Dinámica poblacional de tallos de ovillo (Dactylis glomerata L.) solo y asociado con ballico perenne (Lolium perenne L.) y trébol blanco (Trifolium repens L.)

The objective of this research was to evaluate tiller population of orchard grass seeded with perennial ryegrass and white clover in different proportions and single. Treatments consisted of the associations: 20-70-10, 70-20-10, 100-00-00, 40-40-20 % of orchard grass (OG), perennial ryegrass (RG) and white clover (WT) respectively. Treatments were distributed in a randomized complete block with three replications. The association 70-20-10 of OG-RG-WT had greatest tiller density of OG with an average of 3,750 tiller m -2 , and the lowest in 100-00-00 with an average of 2,400 tiller m -2 ( P <0.05). There were few tiller in perennial ryegrass in all associations, with an average of 225 tiller m -2 . Two highest peaks in the tiller population in OG and RG were found in autumn and winter. Regardless of the association, in the spring season more weight per tiller was found with 0.30 and 0.42 g tiller -1 , OG and RG and less in winter with 0.13 and 0.14 g tiller -1 , OG and RG, respectively. In conclusion, all associations in population dynamics of OG tiller tended to be maintained; in contrast, on single OG and RG tended to decrease.
Rapid in vitro Clonal Propagation of Herbal Spice, Mentha piperita L. Using Shoot Tip and Nodal Explants

A high frequency efficient protocol for rapid propagation of the herbal spice Mentha piperita L. from shoot tip and nodal explants was established by using full and half strength of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations of 6-benzyl amino purine (BAP; 1.0-5.0 mg/L) and kinetin (Kn; 1.0-5.0 mg/L). The highest number of shoots (42.0) with 100% frequency was obtained from nodal explants in the full strength of medium containing 3.0 mg/L BAP. For further elongation, microshoots were transferred to MS medium containing different concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA3; 0.5-2.0 mg/L). The highest shoot length (13.1 cm) with 100% frequency was achieved on medium containing 1.0 mg/L GA3. In vitro proliferated shoots were then excised from the shoot clumps and transferred to the rooting medium containing different concentrations of indole butyric acid (IBA; 0.5-2.0 mg/L) and indole acetic acid (IAA; 0.5-2.0 mg/L) alone. Among these, the highest root proliferation was obtained in the medium containing 1.5 mg/L IBA. The rooted plantlets were hardened on MS basal liquid medium and subsequently in polycups containing sterile soil and vermiculite (1:1) and finally transferred to the field. The survival rate was 100% after 25 days.
Local cuisine image dimensions and its impact on foreign tourist’s perceived food contentment in Delhi

ABSTRACT This study intends to determine the dimensions of local cuisine image by classifying the vital cuisine traits that are used by foreign tourists for their local food assessment; and inspect any variances in the perceived local cuisine image of Eastern and Western tourists (based on their country’s geographical position from India). It applied multivariate and descriptive statistics for analysing the data of 419 foreign tourists in Delhi. 24 factor items were used to measure the tourist’s perceived image of local cuisine which were subjected to Exploratory Factor Analysis in order to reduce them into a smaller set of underlying constructs. Results indicated that all the foreign tourists were very much satisfied with their overall food experiences in Delhi. Further, they also positively evaluated four perceptual/cognitive dimensions of local cuisine, i.e. Food authenticity and culture; Emotional food image; Freshness & taste; and Nutritional value & digestibility. The dimension of Price & quality of food was found to be worst perceived amongst the foreign tourists. Overall, this study provided an improved knowledge about creating a destination cuisine image from the foreign tourists’ outlook, and how this notion can be used to efficiently market and envisage the exclusivity of a destination like India.
Evolution and function of melanocortin and melanin-concentrating hormone receptors

Compared with the genetics of melanogenesis in mammals, the genes regulating pigmentation in lower vertebrates are poorly understood. Mammals undergo morphological colour change under hormonal control, but strikingly, many lower vertebrates display a rapid physiological colour change in response to the same hormones. The recent provision of extensive genome sequencing data from teleost fish provides the opportunity to identify the genes mediating this hormonal response and characterise their function. This thesis describes the cloning, characterisation, evolution and functional role of potential melanogenic genes in the teleost fish, Fugu rubripes and Danio rerio (zebrafish). An in silico analysis of genome trace sequences was carried out to identify fish orthologues of known mammalian genes. The characterised sequences encode a hormonal regulator of mammalian melanogenesis, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), its receptors the melanocortin receptor (MCR) family and their functional antagonists, the melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) receptor family. These studies revealed that zebrafish has six melanocortin receptors, including two MC5R orthologues, whilst Fugu, lacking MC3R, has only four. It is also demonstrated that Fugu and zebrafish have two and three MCH receptor encoding genes respectively and that both have a single POMC gene that appears to be a marker ofpituitary development. The discovery in Fugu MC2R and MC5R of an intron located in a uniquely conserved position in both genes, but missing in all other melanocortin receptors genes so far described, provided an opportunity to investigate the evolution of gene structure in the family. Furthermore, the availability of genome sequence data from numerous species meant the analysis could encompass the entire rhodopsin-like G-protein coupled receptor gene family (GPCR-A), of which melanocortin and MCH receptors are members. This investigation revealed that the conserved intron is found within a phylogenetically diverse range of GPCRAs in six vertebrate and invertebrate species, suggesting it is very ancient and has undergone widespread loss. Furthermore, analyses of total intron content in mammalian GPCR-As reveal a large reduction in intron number compared to invertebrate GPCR-A genes. Together, these two lines of investigation provide compelling evidence for the widespread
Fire response of the endangered Pinus culminicola stands after 18 years in Cerro El Potosí, northeast Mexico

Aim of the study: To analyze the impact of the 1998 wildfire on dwarf pine ( Pinus culminicola ) population stands 18 years after the fire. Area of study : Cerro el Potosi, Nuevo Leon (Mexico) Material and methods: We measured regeneration, biovolume of individuals, diversity and species composition in unburned and burned plots randomly selected in the area. Main results : Recovery was very slow, with limited dense natural regeneration and very slow growth. Significant differences between control and burned plots were found with respect to regeneration, species composition, evenness and soil nutrients, suggesting that fire could promote natural regeneration and biodiversity in these communities. Research highlights : Management efforts are necessary to maintain a natural fire regime and ensure grazing exclusion in order to favor the conservation of the community dominated by this rare species P. culminicola .
Consensus of the Amapá society of implantodontics on the criteria for choosing a bone graft.

A bone graft may be used in a variety of clinically practiced implant surgeries, namely, guided bone regeneration, extraction socket preservation or reconstruction, ridge augmentation, and sinus membrane elevation. The bone graft is of various types depending on the material, for instance, autogenous bone graft, allograft, xenograft, alloplastic graft, and autogenous bone graft with demineralized dentin matrix, which may be used alone or with other materials. Bioactive agents that promote bone formation, such as recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), have been shown to exhibit a clinically beneficial effect on bone regeneration. Here, we intend to present surgical guidelines for bone grafts and criteria for selection of bone graft materials by referring to evidence-based studies and recent lectures on the subject of ‘bone grafts for implant dentistry’ at the Amapa society of implantodontics, 2020.
Investigating students’ online learning behavior with a learning analytic approach: field dependence/independence vs. holism/serialism

ABSTRACT Individual differences exist among learners. Among various individual differences, cognitive styles can strongly predict learners’ learning behavior. Therefore, cognitive styles are essential for the design of online learning. There are a variety of cognitive style dimensions and overlaps exist among these dimensions. In particular, Witkin’s field dependence/independence and Pask’s Holism/Serialism share some similarities. To this end, it is necessary to develop a framework to show overlapped behavior between these two cognitive style dimensions. To address this issue, this study used the Lag Sequential Analysis to examine the overlaps between these two cognitive style dimensions from the aspect of online learning behavior. The results from this study indicated that the overlaps mainly appear in comprehensive/local and dynamic/fixed approaches. Based on the findings of this study, we develop a framework that can support the improvement of instruction design so that the needs of different cognitive style groups can be accommodated. Accordingly, this study is an interdisciplinary work, which makes scientific contributions to three communities, i.e. human–computer interaction, digital learning and learning analytic.
Nurse practitioners and physician assistants working in ambulance care: A systematic review

Background: This review aims to describe the activities of nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) working in ambulance care, and the effect of these activities on patient outcomes, process of care, provider outcomes, and costs. Methods: PubMed, MEDLINE (EBSCO), EMBASE (OVID), Web of Science, the Cochrane Library (Cochrane Database of Systematic Review), CINAHL Plus, and the reference lists of the included articles were systematically searched in November 2019. All types of peer-reviewed designs on the three topics were included. Pairs of independent reviewers performed the selection process, the quality assessment, and the data extraction. Results: Four studies of moderate to poor quality were included. Activities in medical, communication and collaboration skills were found. The effects of these activities were found in process of care and resource use outcomes, focusing on non-conveyance rates, referral and consultation, on-scene time, or follow-up contact Conclusions: This review shows that there is limited evidence on activities of NPs and PAs in ambulance care. Results show that NPs and PAs in ambulance care perform activities that can be categorized into the Canadian Medical Education Directives for Specialists (CanMED) roles of Medical Expert, Communicator, and Collaborator. The effects of NPs and PAs are minimally reported in relation to process of care and resource use, focusing on non-conveyance rates, referral and consultation, on-scene time, or follow-up contact. No evidence on patient outcomes of the substitution of NPs and PAs in ambulance care exists. PROSPERO registration: CRD42017067505 (07/07/2017)
