Stencil control in the automatic insertion of a PIM Company

The article evaluated the control of Stencil in the subprocess of Printing of the SMD line of a company located in the Industrial Pole of Manaus (PIM), to provide subsidies to develop a computerized system. With computerization, the focus of employees will be directed to the activities of production and quality of manufactured products, also, the collection of process data, done in real-time, will allow managers to better monitor and take actions in the process. To this end, a case study, bibliographic research of articles, dissertations, and theses involving the theme, and documentary research (forms, records, etc.) with the sectors involved were used. The descriptive statistics method was applied, quality tools were used, aimed at identifying and solving problems such as PDCA, Pareto, Ishikawa Diagram, flow chart, and 5W2H. A study of the activities related to the control of the Stencil was carried out, of the documentation used in the process, as well as of the factors and causes related to the effective Stencil control. Among the results, 24 causes affect the performance of the Stencil control, concluding that the main failures were human, due to the prioritization of production goals by the employees, leaving the other activities in the background, which is why the 24 guidelines proposed for the computerization of this process become relevant, some of which are: defining means to identify each Stencil using a bar code or QR code; do not allow the use of the Stencil if one of the activities unfinished in the process; stop production when an activity is not performed; digitize the documents used in this process; create an automatic notification to those responsible, when an action is necessary, etc.
Maize performance in response to tillage and weed control methods

To study the impact of different tillage practices and weed control methods on weeds growth, phenology and yield of maize, an experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of The University of Agriculture Peshawar during summer 2016. The study was performed in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement having four replications. Tillage practices (chisel plough + rotavator, mouldboard plough + rotavator, cultivator + rotavator and rotavator) were assigned to main plots while weed control methods (control, hoeing 15 days after sowing (DAS), hoeing 15 and 30 DAS, hoeing 15, 30 and 45 DAS, and herbicide i.e. Nicosulfuron) were assigned to sub-plots. Results revealed that treatment of chisel plough + rotavator had induced significantly early days to tasseling, silking and physiological maturity and produced maximum grain yield and biological yield as compared to other tested tillage practices. Minimum weeds m and weeds fresh weight at 60 DAS was recorded from the treatment of chisel plough + rotavator. Among weed control methods, the treatment of hoeing 15, 30 and 45 DAS delayed days to tasseling, silking and physiological maturity and resulted in higher grain yield and biological yield. Hoeing 15, 30 and 45 DAS drastically reduced weeds m and weeds fresh weight at 60 DAS. It is concluded that chisel plough + rotavator and hoeing at 15, 30 and 45 days after sowing (DAS) significantly improved yield of maize crop.
Behavioral Responses of Tabanidae and Stomoxys calcitrans to Unbaited and Baited Nzi and Horse Pal Traps in Southern Sweden

The distribution and species diversity of tabanids and stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans Linnaeus, 1758, in the research area, Hasthult (wood pasture) in Sweden, as well as the behavioral responses of biting flies to visual and olfactory cues were highlighted by this study. Beyond the control of tabanids and stable flies through the Nzi and Horse Pal traps that act as a surrogate host, this study sought to demonstrate the attractiveness of biting flies to these traps by comparing the results of the two periods in which the traps were unbaited and baited. The odor attractants, such as urine (a mixture of more than phenol) and acetone used to increase trap yields, made the difference to the Horse Pal and Nzi traps for S. calcitrans (L) because the number of flies caught was significantly higher. Through this study, Nzi trap with bait and Horse Pal trap with and without bait were tested for the first time as regards the tabanids and S. calcitrans (L) in Scandinavia. Surprisingly, the number of tabanids caught in the Nzi trap was equal in both situations with or without bait. The result underlined the idea that the Nzi trap manages to catch a large number of tabanids even in the absence of attractants. It turns out that the Horse Pal trap was just as effective with and without bait in capturing tabanids. Furthermore, the number of tabanids caught in both traps depended on the type of weather, and the number of stable flies depended on the weather and also the type of trap. The results of this study showed that both the visual and olfactory aspects of the Nzi and Horse Pal traps are always essential, being used successfully in the control of biting flies and optimized for various research purposes.
A Narrative Review of Antimicrobial Stewardship Interventions within In-patient Settings and Resultant Patient Outcomes

ABSTRACT The overuse of antibiotics has led to various healthcare problems such as the emergence of resistance in infectious microbes and mortality due to antibiotic resistant healthcare associated infections (HAIs). An antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) program is the set of interventions used worldwide to enhance the rational use of antibiotics especially for the hospitalized patients. This review aimed to describe the characteristics of the implemented AMS programs in various hospitals of the world mainly focusing on the interventions and patients outcomes. The literature about AMS program was searched through various databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Cochran Library, Ovid (Medline), Web of Science and Scopus. In this review the literature pertaining to the AMS programs for hospitalized patients is sorted on the basis of various interventions that are categorized as formulary restriction (pre-authorization), guideline development, clinical pathway development, educative interventions and prospective audit. Moreover a clear emphasis is laid on the patient outcomes obtained as a result of these interventions namely the infection control, drop in readmission rate, mortality control, resistance control and the control of an overall cost of antibiotic treatment obtained mainly by curbing the overuse of antibiotics within the hospital wards. AMS program is an efficient strategy of pharmacovigilance to rationalize the antimicrobial practice for hospitalized patients as it prevents the misuse of antibiotics, which ultimately retards the health threatening effects of various antibiotics.
Insecticidal activity of Mentha rotundifolia essential oil against Rhopalosiphum padi and Sitobion avenae (Hemiptera: Aphididae), cereal aphids in Setif, Algeria

Abstract To elaborate a strategy of integrated aphids management associated with cereals in Algeria, the insecticidal activity of the essential oil of Mentha rotundifolia against two aphids, namely Rhopalosiphum padi and Sitobion avenae was evaluated under laboratory conditions. Analysis of the essential oil of M. rotundifolia by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry method (GC-MS) has identified 14 compounds. The minimum concentration to obtain 100% mortality was evaluated at 0.5 mL/L after 3 hours of exposure with R. padi and at 1 mL/L after 24 h of exposure with S. avenae. Probit analysis and LC50 at four different exposure times resulted a LC50 of 0.16 mL/L with R. padi and 0.20 mL/L with S. avenae, both obtained 24 hours after treatment. These results, found with two species of aphids, are a hypothesis that requires further studies on other species to prove that the effect of the essential oil is broad-spectrum.
The effect of mindfulness-based interventions on inattentive and hyperactive–impulsive behavior in childhood: A meta-analysis

Current research has reported the beneficial effects of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on general domains of cognition and behavior among children. The present study is the first meta-analysis with controlled studies investigating the pre-post change effects of MBIs on two widely experienced behaviors in childhood education, namely inattentiveness and hyperactivity–impulsivity. With a special developmental focus on the early years, a total of 21 studies with 3- to 12-year-old children were included in the meta-analysis. Results indicated that MBIs decreased children’s overall inattentive and hyperactive–impulsive behavior with a small but significant effect size (k = 21, g + = .38, p < .001). However, this overall positive effect was only significant when teachers rated children’s behavior and nonsignificant when parents and children themselves were the informants. Additionally, MBIs showed a moderate effect in reducing inattentiveness and hyperactivity–impulsivity for children at risk for such behavior. In conclusion, results indicate that MBIs, which are relatively easily applied in educational practice, have the potential to decrease inattentive and hyperactive–impulsive behavior and might contribute to children’s overall better functioning at school.
Transcriptional Regulation of Melanocortin 4 Receptor by Nescient Helix-Loop-Helix-2 and its Implications in Peripheral Energy Homeostasis

Mutations in the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) are the most frequent cause of monogenetic forms of human obesity. Despite its importance, the MC4R signaling pathways and transcriptional regulation that underly the melanocortin pathway are far from being fully understood. The transcription factor Nescient Helix Loop Helix 2 (Nhlh2), is known to influence the melanocortin pathway. It regulates the transcription of genes by binding to the E-Box binding sites present in the promoter region. Here in this dissertation, Nhlh2’s role as a transcriptional regulator of Mc4r and the effects of deletion of Nhlh2 on peripheral energy expenditure, glucose homeostasis and fatty acid oxidation are reported. To investigate the transcriptional mechanisms of Mc4r and the involvement of Nhlh2, gene expression analysis, DNA-protein binding, transactivation assays, and SiRNA induction were used. We show that Nhlh2 regulates the transcription of Mc4r by binding to the three E-Boxes present on the promoter at -553, -361 and +47. Further, SiRNA knockdown of Nhlh2 in the N29/2 cell line depresses Mc4r expression which suggests the requirement of Nhlh2 for Mc4r transcription. Development of adult onset obesity in the absence of evident hyperphagia questions the ability of mice which lacks Nhlh2 (N2KO) to utilize energy substrate efficiently. To test the effect of deletion of Nhlh2 in N2KO, body composition analysis, tissue specific characterization, fatty acid oxidation and glucose and
Rhodolith Beds Heterogeneity along the Apulian Continental Shelf (Mediterranean Sea)

Rhodolith beds represent a key habitat worldwide, from tropical to polar ecosystems. Despite this habitat is considered a hotspot of biodiversity, providing a suite of ecosystem goods and services, still scarce quantitative information is available thus far about rhodolith beds occurrence and ecological role, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. This study reports the composition and patterns of distribution of rhodolith assemblages found in four study areas along ca. 860 km of coast in the Central Mediterranean Sea. These rhodolith beds were studied for the first time and significant differences at all spatial scales have been highlighted, documenting the high variability of this habitat. Rhodolith species composition, morphology and distribution have been discussed considering the potential role of environmental factors in driving these patterns. The need for improving their protection is discussed to complement present conservation and management initiatives, particularly in the frame of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive.

Rituals about the skin: comments on pimple popping videos

ABSTRACT Pimple popping videos on YouTube draw a large number of views and comments. Using Critical Thematic Analysis, this paper analyses comments on the videos to understand why these films are so compelling for some viewers. Building on the insights of skin studies, I argue that the satisfaction that viewers experience is linked to (1) the nature of disgust (involving both aversion and fascination); (2) the visual close up framing of the videos (that produces a skin scape distinct from an identifiable person); (3) the nature of skin as a permeable boundary (such that acne is both inside and outside) and (4) the framing of extractions as a medical procedures (involving authority and ritual). Dirt is usually matter out of place, but in these films the waste matter that is pus and sebum is given a space of its own.
Producción de gases efecto invernadero in vitro de leguminosas arbóreas del trópico seco mexicano

Methanogenesis is part of the energetic metabolism of ruminants, however there are legumes that have specific characteristics, which help reduce the production of anthropogenic methane. The objective was to determine the in vitro greenhouse gas (GHG) production of tree legumes from the Mexican dry tropics. The substrates were dry pods of Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Samanea saman and Acacia cochliacantha; as well as, dry pods and green leaf of Guazuma ulmifolia y Leucaena leucocephala. The biodigester contained 0.5 g of type substrate and 50 mL of incubated culture medium at 39 ° C. In the biodigesters, the gas production kinetics were determine by measuring the gas displacement at 0, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h for calculate maximum gas volume (Vm) and gas production rate (S). The mL displaced gas was used for estimate GHG moles at 24, 48 and 72 h. The methane moles were calculated at 24, 48 and 72 h. Statistical analysis was a completely randomized design. The E. cyclocarpum pod showed better Vm and S (P 0.05). E. cyclocarpum pod produced 43.8 and 29.9 % more total GHG and methane than S. saman pod. The GHG and methane total production of L. leucocephala pod and leaf did not show differences (P>0.05) and methane represented on average 17 % of GHG. Under these conditions concluded: The pods of E. cyclocarpum and S. saman have good fermentation parameters and proportion of methane produced is smaller with the rest of the evaluated legumes.
Modeling the effect of saltation on surface layer turbulence

Particle–turbulence interaction has been a research focus in the field of pneumatic transport, especially in aeolian environments. However, knowledge regarding the effect of saltating particles on the turbulence characteristics is very limited. In this article, a process of sand‐laden flow from forming sand streamers to stability is investigated via a coupled mathematical model of wind‐blown sand that includes the spatiotemporal development. The variations in the turbulence characteristics, such as the mean velocity and turbulence intensity in clean air or sand‐laden flow field, are analyzed. The results show that the splash process of sand grains near the wall decrease the wind speed in the saltation layer and destroy the low‐speed streaks. Moreover, the profiles of streamwise turbulence intensity exhibit a transition from ‘decreasing’ to ‘increasing’ and approximately intersect at an ‘intensity focus’, which is presented for the first time. Furthermore, it was found that saltating particles could enhance the Reynolds stress. Meanwhile, it was also noticed that the shear stress at the wall surface is greater than the impact threshold and that there is a tendency towards the impact threshold. Therefore, saltation makes the particle Reynolds number of sand‐laden flow higher than that under non‐saltation conditions, thus changing the particles’ effect on the turbulence intensity. Gravity‐dominated saltation is probably the most essential difference between wind‐blown sand and other traditional two‐phase flows. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
What influences hunting participation of potential new hunters? Qualitative insights from Sweden

Hunting, an activity conceptualized as part of wildlife management partnership between the state, landowners and hunting communities, is increasingly challenged by a decreasing hunter base. This has ecological, economic and socio-cultural consequences, and the issue of hunter recruitment deserves more scholarly and political attention. In Sweden, the number of individuals taking a hunting proficiency test is high even though the number of hunters has declined during the last few decades although with a recovery the last 12 months, indicating an under-utilized source of potential new hunters. We explore in an interview study with potential new hunters in Sweden what factors affect and motivate individuals to take the hunter proficiency test and to hunt. Our thematic analysis identifies structural, institutional and individual factors influencing hunting participation, such as social networks and access to land, rendering two ideal types of new hunters. We offer suggestions to help curb the negative trend of declining hunter numbers and we identify research gaps for future studies to address.
Common features in plastic changes rather than constructed structures in recurrent neural network prefrontal cortex models

We have flexible control over our cognition depending on the context or surrounding environments. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) controls this cognitive flexibility; however, the detailed underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Recent developments in machine learning techniques have allowed simple recurrent neural network PFC models to perform human- or animal-like behavioral tasks. These systems allow us to acquire parameters, which we could not in biological experiments, for performing the tasks. We compared four models, in which a flexible cognition task, called context-dependent integration task, was performed; subsequently, we searched for common features. In all the models, we observed that high plastic synapses were concentrated in the small neuronal population and the more concentrated neuronal units contributed further to the performance. However, there were no common properties in the constructed structures. These results suggest that plastic changes can be more general and important to accomplish cognitive tasks than features of the constructed structures.
Cutting edge development on graphene derivatives modified by liquid crystal and CdS/TiO2 hybrid matrix: optoelectronics and biotechnological aspects

Abstract Two dimensional (2D) graphene and its derivatives modification with nanomaterials for formation of hybrid/nanocomposites undergo stimulus-induced optical and electrical changes which are important for many new switchable device technologies. The feature article deals with a straight forward and versatile technique for the fabrication of semiconductor nanomaterials (CdS and TiO2) nanomaterials dispersed liquid crystals (NDLC) or graphene dispersed liquid crystal (GDLC) by stretching hydrogen bonds (H-) in the precursor droplets between two substrates to form a liquid bridge. Fewer liquid crystals (LCs) possess a conventional oriented nematic phase with optimal performances. Evolving advantages of thin-film nanocomposite materials and switchable devices have fueled several developments in the field of flexible electronics, high contrast ratio smart display and opto-electronics. These advantages have been complemented with the expansion of novel composite materials such as GDLC and NDLC as sensors to monitor the inflammability, explosive nature and toxicity of chemicals. This discussion also delves into the fabrication of graphene assembly polymer nanocomposites dispersed in LCs, the necessity for bio-polymer incorporation and their bio-sensing and antimicrobial applications. Additionally, discussed the issues and challenges associated with understanding and exploiting the potentials of smart switchable devices fabricated by nanomaterials or polymer/graphene hybrid composite matrix. Following substantial development and optimized over decades, a novel mechanism employed in smart switchable devices via GDLC hybrid nanocomposite matrix has been found to offer numerous benefits including being cost-effective, possessing a large area compatibility and large scalability in addition to seamless heterogeneous integration.
Characterisation of mammalian Atg9 and its role in autophagy

Cells undergo autophagy or self-eating as a means of recycling their constituents in order to maintain homeostasis. Autophagy is up regulated by stress, including amino acid deprivation for which it is best characterised. Upon amino acid starvation double or multiple lamellar vesicles termed autophagic vacuoles (AV) or autophagosomes appear throughout the cell's cytoplasm. From their content they can be seen to have sequestered cytoplasm, often including organelles. Screens for autophagy defective mutants in Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulted in the AuTophaGy (ATG) genes. I have studied the ubiquitously expressed mammalian orthologue of Atg9p (Atg9Ll), a multi-spanning transmembrane protein shown to be essential in yeast for autophagy. I studied Atg9Ll in the hope that, as it is a multi-spanning transmembrane protein, it might provide clues as to the origin of the autophagosomal membranes. Initially addressing the protein's topology I show that both the N-and C-termini of Atg9L1 are cytosolic, and predict that Atg9Ll spans the membrane six times. siRNA mediated depletion of Atg9L 1 using adenovirus in hepatocytes did not significantly reduce the number of early or initial autophagosomes (AVi) arising upon starvation but did result in smaller AVi and a greater number of degradative autophagosomes (AVd). By immunofluorescence and subcellular fractionation analysis I found that Atg9Ll is located in the TGN and late endosomes. In immunofluorescence Atg9Ll colocalises with TGN46, the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-MPR), Rab7 and Rab9. Amino acid starvation alters the distribution of Atg9L1 causing a relocalisation of the protein from the TGN to a peripheral, endosomal, population occasionally colocalising with GFP-LC3, a well characterised marker of autophagosomes. siRNA mediated depletion of the mammalian homologue of Atglp, ULK1, inhibits the starvation dependent relocalisation of Atg9Ll. The starvation induced relocalisation of Atg9Ll requires PtdIns-3-kinase activity, and is reversed after restoration of amino acids. I speculate that starvation induced autophagy may rely on an alteration of the steady state trafficking of Atg9Ll, in a ULK1 dependent manner.
