Bacterial contamination of cellular phones at a Veterinary School and Veterinary Teaching Hospital

Cellular phones have become an integral part to not only to modern day life but also Veterinary Medicine. They provide clinicians with quick access to reference material, laboratory results, and patient side consults. However these phones may also act fomites and be a source of Hospital-acquired infections. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of cellular phones in the dissemination of foodborne pathogens and other pathogenic organisms. Using Escherichia coli and coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus as indicator organisms for pathogenic bacteria, cellular phones belonging to students and staff at a Veterinary School and a Veterinary Teaching Hospital were assessed. Overall less than 1% (1/115) of cellular phone tested positive of E. coli. However, 21% (24/115) of the phones were contaminated with the highly pathogenic coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus. The majority phones testing for positive for of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus (15/24) belonged to persons working in a clinical environment. The low contamination rate of phones with E. coli indicate phones are not a major vehicle for the dissemination of foodborne pathogens. However, the higher incidence of Staphylococcus aureus contamination should of critical concern since these phones may be acting as fomites for the dissemination of other pathogens. These results highlights the need for proper cellular phone use and disinfection protocols to be implemented to hospital settings reduce potential transmission pathogens.
The contribution of phenotypic traits, their plasticity, and rapid evolution to invasion success: insights from an extraordinary natural experiment

of to understand why some species become succesfull and others not. understanding studying closely-related invasive and non-invasive alien taxa sharing the the same We identified this unusual in Kenya where the individuals that founded invasive Prosopis juliflora and non-invasive P. pallida populations are still present in original plantations. We evaluated field-measured traits, conducted glasshouse experiments simulating different nitrogen and water availability treatments, and did reciprocal transplants to compare functional traits and plasticity between the founders of both species (i.e. ‘invasive–non-invasive congeners’ com-parison), and between P. juliflora individuals from plantations and invaded sites (i.e. testing for rapid evolution during invasion). We found that planted individuals of P. julifora and P. pallida differed in a number of key traits related to performance and spread (root:shoot ratio, number of stems and susceptibility to seed damage) as well as in levels of phenotypic plasticity in growth responses to resource availability, which may explain their differential invasiveness. Offspring of invasive P. juliflora individuals had higher seed mass and production, germination, survival, produced more stems, matured earlier and had higher plasticity compared with those of founder individuals, indicative of rapid post-introduction evolution. this exceptional study sys-tem, we show that differences in values of only a few key traits, increased phenotypic plasticity and post-introduction evolution have all contributed to the success of P. juliflora as an invasive species in Kenya.

Effect of Competitive Strategies on Growth of Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies in Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya

A savings and credit cooperative society (SACCO) is an association of persons who have come together with an aim of pooling their resources together for economic benefit. Kenyan SACCOs play a key role in wealth creation, poverty alleviation, and employment. Kenyan SACCOs have high growth potential but are bedeviled by challenges like strong competition from commercial banks, insufficient capital, slow rate of information technology adoption, inefficient loan pricing strategies and weak governance. The SACCO sector is growing at the rate of 20% per annum but has potential for further growth. This raises a question as to which strategies SACCOs are adopting to enhance growth. Previous researches did little to investigate effect of competitive strategies on growth of SACCOs despite the challenges dogging the sector hence this is a gap that needs to be filled. It is against this backdrop that this study sought to investigate the effect of competitive strategies on growth of SACCOs in Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya. The general objective of the study was to investigate the effect of competitive strategies on growth of SACCOs in Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya. The specific objectives were to determine the effect of market development, product development and cost leadership strategies on growth of SACCOs in Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The study location was Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya. The population of the study was the 10 SACCOs in Tharaka Nithi County. The sample size was census of the 52 managerial staff of the 10 SACCOs. Data was collected using structured questionnaires. Validity was ensured through use of experts who were the supervisors. Reliability was determined by the test-re-test method. Data analysis was facilitated by use of the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21. The results obtained from the study indicated that market development, product development and cost leadership strategies significantly influenced membership, loans issued and return on equity of the SACCOs at 5% significance level. These findings implied that the competitive strategies significantly influenced growth of SACCOs in Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya.
Preliminary Adaptation of Criminal Attitudes to Violence Scale in Latvian and Russian

Violent offenders cause serious harm to their victims and affect the general well-being of the society. Many awareness and rehabilitation campaigns are introduced at the moment in Latvia that increases the necessity for adapted valid instruments in the native languages of the offenders. The aim of the research was to conduct a preliminary adaptation of Criminal Attitudes to Violence Scale (CAVS) in Latvian and Russian. CAVS has been designed to measure non-sexual physical violence of violent male offenders. Two groups (“Latvians” N=200 and “Russians” N=200) and four sub-groups of male offenders and non-offenders were formed. The translation of the scale in Latvian and Russian was organized separately and completed by back-translation method. Evaluation by both experts and a sample of target population was provided with the final Russian and Latvian versions of CAVS. Internal consistency of the items of the scale proved to be very good for all four sub-groups. Item analysis showed that both (Latvian and Russian) adapted CAVS versions work the best with the offender samples. There were three-factor structure reviled for both Latvian and Russian CAVS. The preliminary adaptation process has been completed and the further standardization process is intended.
DETERMINATION OF PHYTOCHEMICALS FROM FRESH FRUITS OF FIG (Ficus carica L.) AT DIFFERENT MATURITY STAGES

The natural and ubiquitous production of figs throughout Turkey makes it one of the most important centers of fig genetic resources. The current study aims to determine the most important phytochemical ingredients of a local variety of fig (Ficus carica L.) collected from the natural habitats in the province of Kahramanmaras at different harvest intervals in 2018. The fruit samples were assayed for various metabolites such as phenolic compounds, total phenols (TP), total flavonoids (TF), total anthocyanins (TA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). The results showed that epicatechin (7.809 mg/100 g FW) was dominant phenolic compound in the fruits of this variety, followed by myricetin (2.632 mg/100 g FW), kaempferol (2.396 mg/100 g FW) and quercetin (0.655 mg/100 g FW). The average values obtained for TP, TF, TA, and TAC were found to be 135.71 mg GAE/100 g FW, 188.20 mg/100 g FW, 54.65 ml/L, and 14.34 DPPH%, respectively. There were also observed significant differences in total polyphenolic, flavonoid, anthocyanin content, and the antioxidant capacity at different harvest periods. The current findings indicate that the fig variety explored has a high antioxidant activity and is rich sources of anthocyanins and phenolic content. This study provides valuable information about the health benefits of figs endorsed by the phytochemical characteristics.
Evidence for extinct 36Cl from excess 36Ar in Allende sodalite

5103EVIDENCE FOR EXTINCT 36Cl FROM EXCESS 36Ar IN ALLENDESODALITEG. Turner1, R. Burgess1, S. P. Kelley2 and G. J. Wasserburg3. 1SEAES,University of Manchester, UK, E-mail: Grenville.turner@manchester.ac. uk. 2Dept. of Earth and Environmental Science, Open University, UK.3Division of Geological and Planetary Science, California Institute ofTechnology, USA.Introduction: Excesses of 36S have previously been reported insodalite (Na8Al6Si6O24Cl2) and wadalite (Ca6Al5Si2O16Cl3) in CAI andchondrules from the Allende and Ningqiang meteorites and used to inferthe presence of 36Cl (half-life 3 � 105 a) in the early solar system [1? 3]. Inspite of the fact that 36Cl decays predominantly (98%) to 36Ar, allattempts to locate the very large amounts of 36Ar implied by these 36Sexcesses have been negative. Here we present results of a new method toidentify 36Ar from 36Cl decay, based on low fluence fast neutronactivation.Method: We have irradiated two batches of Allende sodalite (PinkAngel) with different fluencies of fast neutrons in the Cd-shielded CLICITfacility of the Oregon State TRIGA reactor. In the absence of trappedargon, the upper intercept of a plot of 36Ar/38Ar against 37Ar/38Ar definesa relationship between 36Ar and 38Ar from the action of cosmic rayinducedsecondary neutrons and mono-isotopic 36Ar from 36Cl decay. Bycombining data from two irradiations, the two contributions can beunambiguously distinguished. Figure 1 shows allowed combinations of36Cl/35Cl and the product of cosmogenic secondary neutron fluence and37Cl cross section for each series. The intersection corresponds to36Cl/35Cl = (1.9 � 0.5) � 10)8 and = (1.1 � 0.8) � 10)10.The latter is in accord with the neutron fluence observed in CAIs inAllende [4]. The 36Cl/35Cl ratio is 3 orders of magnitude lower than thehighest value inferred from 36S excesses. If interpreted chronologically,i.e., as a closure age, it would correspond to a period of 3Ma or so ofactivity involving the precipitation of sodalite, which is consistent withI-Xe data [5]. Alternatively, the low ratio may represent 36Ar loss in linewith the low activation energy for Ar diffusion in sodalite. The presenceof excess 36Ar together with 36S supports the idea that live 36Cl waspresent in the sodalite, as opposed to the 36S being inherited. Themechanism for producing 36Cl several million years after the formation ofthe solar system is still unknown.References: [1] Lin Y. et al. 2005.

Predicting the Multipollutant Performance of Utility SCR Systems

This analysis relates catalyst material composition and bimodal pore size characteristics in a direct, quantitative way to the reactivities for simultaneous NO reduction, Hg0 oxidation, and SO3 production along utility selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reactors. SCR monoliths sustain two chemically distinct regions. In the inlet region, strong NH3 adsorption minimizes the coverage of chlorinated and sulfated surface sites, so NO reduction inhibits Hg0 and SO2 oxidation. Once the NH3 has been consumed, however, the chlorinated surface coverage surges by orders of magnitude, and the Hg0 oxidation rate rapidly increases, even while the HCl concentration in the gas phase remains uniform. Ammonia inhibition also eliminates the benefit of the rapid film mass transfer at the SCR inlet from promoting Hg0 oxidation. In many cases, the Hg0 oxidation rate becomes limited by film transport soon after the Hg0 begins to oxidize, so that none of the catalyst internal surface area is utilized. Shifting the pore size di.
Adaptive control of a class of stochastic nonlinear systems with full state constraints and input saturation using multi‐dimensional Taylor network

In the paper, a new control algorithm to realize the tracking control for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems with both full state constraints and input saturation is put forward using multi‐dimensional Taylor network (MTN) approach. By introducing a continuous function, the input saturation is converted into a linear model with bounded error. With the help of approximation properties of MTN, by proposing barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs) and involving the idea of state‐constrained control into backstepping technique, a simple and efficient control scheme is developed. The proposed control scheme can guarantee the system states fall in the given constrained bounds as well as keeping the resulting control system stable. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is demonstrated through two examples.
Asset Specificity On Conditional Conservatism

Asset specificity, an asset creates company’s distinctive competency that tough to be imitated by competitor. Howere asset specificity features a direct impact on a firm’s in progress truthful price determination, bankruptcy risk, liquidation value, and abandonment option. On alternative hand, the ownerhip of this quality specificity has serious consequences on finance strategy. Bank faces serious issue to create a correct valuation of specific and opaque asset so bank charges higher value of debt. we discover no distinction within the extent to that good news is delayed in earnings for corporations conditional on asset specificity. This study use 280 non finance service and non agriculture type listed in IDX on 2018. However The information assortment used documentation technique and also the data analysis utilized was multiple correlation analysis. we have a tendency to document a significant negative association between quality specificity and conditional conservatism especially in Mining, Miscellaneous industry, and good consumer Industry But we notice new findings within the infrastructure sector there's a significant positive impact of specificity Asset specificity on conservatism.
Microbiological water quality monitoring of four ponds from Lagoa do Sino Farm located in São Paulo State, Brazil

This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of the water of four ponds used for irrigation on the Lagoa do Sino Farm, as well as to perform the genotypic characterization of virulence factors in Escherichia coli isolates. Sampling was conducted for 11 months, between 2015 and 2016. Samples were analyzed for the presence of thermotolerant coliforms, E. coli and heterotrophs. DNA was extracted from E. coli isolates, followed by genotypic characterization by polymerase chain reaction. Agricultural activities and pesticides used in the sampling period were documented in order to assess possible relationships between agricultural activities and microbiological water quality. The absence of suitable riparian vegetation around all the ponds was observed, benefiting the entry of organic matter and contaminants in the water body. A high index of thermotolerant coliforms in some months indicated the possibility of the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms in these ponds. The values found in some months were above the regulatory limits for water potability and water intended for irrigation. The agrochemicals used in the period seem to influence the results obtained. All 17 E. coli isolates showed at least one of the virulence genes estA, stx1, stx2, and aatA, indicating enterotoxigenic, enterohaemorrhagic or enteroaggregative nature. The presence of E. coli in the waters may be associated with the presence of animals. The water samples analyzed are not suitable for irrigation of vegetables that are consumed raw and/or low lying fruits ingested without skin removal. It is essential to broaden the control of the use of chemicals, as well as the preservation of riparian vegetation to improve the quality of water used in the farm's agricultural activities.
Factors Affecting Consumer Awareness and the Purchase of Eco-Friendly Vehicles: Textual Analysis of Korean Market

Despite the positive outlook of various organizations on the prevalence of eco-friendly cars, Korea’s electric vehicle market is small, and growth is slow. To identify factors that hinder consumer awareness and the spread of eco-friendly vehicles, news articles and online postings on eco-friendly vehicles from 2006 to 2020 were collected and analyzed using text mining techniques. This study found that Korean consumers thought hybrid vehicles were fuel-efficient and quiet; however, there were concerns about battery life and safety due to poor battery performance and complaints about battery replacement. Nevertheless, consumers thought electric cars were sophisticated, luxurious, youthful, clean, and that technical problems would be resolved in the future. The inconveniences of charging and short-distance driving, the expenses and the lack of various dispute settlement measures have been shown to lower the intention to purchase electric vehicles.
Differential Occurrence of Epicuticular wax and its Role in Leaf Tissues of Three Edible Aroids Hails from North Eastern Hill Region of India

Localization of epicuticular wax (EW) content in leaf tissues and its interaction on leaf protective mechanisms of three edible aroids, Alocasia, Colocasia and Xanthosoma were assessed. Scanning electron microscopy depicted the occurrence of EW in leaf tissues which was higher in Colocasia (10.61 mg dm-2) and Xanthosoma (11.36 mg dm-2) than in Alocasia (1.36 mg dm-2). The result highlighted the interface of EW between the leaves and its internal and external environments. EW acted as a protecting barrier against deleterious solar radiation in term of sun protecting factor (SPF). Occurrence of EW also effectively managed leaf pigmentation, moisture retention, cellular membrane integrity against the invaders. Colocasia exhibited superhydrophobic properties with higher static contact angle (CA) >150o than hydrophobic Xanthosoma and Alocasia with CA ranged between 99.0o to 128.7o. Colocasia EW highly influenced the qualitative and protective mechanisms of leaf. Aroids are the cheapest sources of edible EW among the terrestrial plants could be used in food, agricultural and industrial applications.

No specific relationship between hypnotic suggestibility and the rubber hand illusion

In a recent study, Lush et al. (Nat Commun 11, 4853, 2020) claimed that they found “substantial relationships” between hypnotizability and experimental measures of the rubber hand illusion. The authors proposed that hypnotizable participants control their phenomenology to meet task expectations arising from the experimental paradigm. They further suggest that the rubber hand illusion “may or may not” be entirely explained by hypnotic suggestions driven by task expectancies and therefore could reflect top-down control of perception, instead of multisensory mechanisms. However, in reanalyzing their data, we observe no significant relationships between hypnotic suggestibility and the rubber hand illusion when quantified using a control condition in line with the authors’ preregistered hypothesis. Furthermore, we note that the relationships that the authors describe are weak and observed for a visual “hallucination” control experience and in the control condition, indicating a general influence of hypnotizability on cognition, rather than sensations that specifically relate to the rubber hand illusion. Overall, the results fit well with the view that the rubber hand illusion is a perceptual illusion driven primarily by multisensory mechanisms.
