How Cognitive Aspects of Potential Entrepreneurs Response to the Political Fluctuations and Economic Crisis in Egypt?

Entrepreneurship has a significant effect on the overall welfare of an economy because it decreases the level of unemployment and helps in fighting poverty, which dominates in the most countries all over the world at this time. Therefore, the contribution of small, and medium enterprises have been recognised by academics and policymakers. However, there are many factors could influence individuals in starting up a new business and one of these significant factors is perceptions. Thus, this study aims to present an understanding of how perceptions could influence Entrepreneurs' Intention (EI) in Egypt by studying the economic and political turmoil in the period between 2008 and 2012. The data which has been used in this study has been obtained from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). To investigate the relationship between the individuals’ perception and the entrepreneurship intentions the analysis model follows the logistic regression techniques. The primary results of the empirical analysis are that all types of perceptions under investigationsuch as factors of characteristics of individuals’ perception, sociocultural perceptions, and economic opportunitiesintended to have significant leverage on intentions to start an entrepreneurialventure in this sample. Also, the results support the presumption of the economic and political events in Egypt affect the entrepreneur intentions across the years between 2008 and 2012.
A Context-based Approach for Partitioning Big Data

In recent years, the amount of available data keeps growing at fast rate, and it is therefore crucial to be able to process them in an efficient way. The level of parallelism in tools such as Hadoop or Spark is determined, among other things, by the partitioning applied to the dataset. A common method is to split the data into chunks considering the number of bytes. While this approach may work well for text-based batch processing, there are a number of cases where the dataset contains structured information, such as the time or the spatial coordinates, and one may be interested in exploiting such a structure to improve the partitioning. This could have an impact on the processing time and increase the overall resource usage efficiency. This paper explores an approach based on the notion of context, such as temporal or spatial information, for partitioning the data. We design a context-based multi-dimensional partitioning technique that divides an n − dimensional space into splits by considering the distribution of the each contextual dimension in the dataset. We tested our approach on a dataset from a touristic scenario, and our experiments show that we are able to improve the efficiency of the resource usage.
The influence of the modification of zirconium tungstate with Eu(III) on the α → β phase transition temperature and optical band gap

The hydrothermal method was used to obtain pure and Eu(III)-modified ZrW2O8. Tungstates modified with 1, 2, and 5 mol% Eu(III) were synthesized in order to investigate the influence of Eu(III) doping on the properties of zirconium tungstate. The samples obtained were phase homogeneous as shown by XRD. High temperature XRD was used to follow the temperature of the alpha-beta phase transition. It was observed that the higher the content of Eu(III), the higher the temperature of the transition. The unit cell parameters decrease both with the Eu(III) content and the temperature increasing. Тhe values of the thermal expansion coefficients obtained decreased with increasing Eu(III) for both the alpha and beta phases of ZrW2O8. Doping with increasing amounts of Eu(III) increased the energy of the optical band gap as well.
Impact of Face Partitioning On Face Recognition Performance

: Face partitioning algorithm is presented in this paper. Face is first divided into face parts namely head, eye pair, left eye, right eye, mouth and nose. Instead of giving the entire face as input in testing and training phases of face recognition algorithm, the face parts are given individually. Eigen features of all the face parts are extracted separately and given to the individual classifiers. Finally the classifier outputs are given to the decision making algorithm. This accepts all the face parts and generates a face based on the algorithm. ORL data base is used for evaluating the performance of this new technique. Results are separately calculated with and without face partitioning technique. Results show that face recognition rate is increased by using the combination of face partitioning technique and PCA. The new algorithm is also verified on 8 different data sets. There is an improvement of 15% face recognition rate using the new algorithm on ORL database.
Preliminary Adaptation, Development, and Testing of a Team Sports Model to Improve Briefing and Debriefing in Neonatal Resuscitation

Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: Briefing in team sports has been shown to benefit both performance and confidence among team members. The neonatal resuscitation team shares similarities with sports teams, where task performance includes rapid decision-making skills within dynamic situations, alongside unpredictable circumstances. Aim: We aimed to determine the effect of a team sports briefing model on the neonatal resuscitation team. Method: We adapted and redesigned a team sports briefing and debriefing model and related protocol and tested them with a neonatal resuscitation team in a U.K. university teaching hospital. Results: The team’s confidence and perceptions around these 2 aspects of resuscitation were studied along with frequency of task execution before and after a teaching intervention about the sports teams' approach to briefing and the introduction of a 7-point checklist. In 20 preintervention observations of 13 key tasks, areas for improvement in how neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) staff prepared for deliveries and potential resuscitations were found such as in “discussing potential deliveries that day” (n = 10, 50%), “identifying roles within the resus team that shift” (n = 5, 20%), and announcing when and where a debrief would occur (n = 0, 0%). Postintervention, the NICU team’s mean task completion increased significantly from 9.23 (SD = 6.34) to 18.0 (SD = 1.83), a statistically meaningful difference of 8.77 (95% CI, 4.99−12.55; P < 0.001). Conclusion: Together with increased levels of confidence and efficiency reported postintervention, this provides some evidence that a brief–debrief process based on how sports team’s approach pregame situations could be potentially transferable and beneficial to NICU team performance.
Differential Health Care Use, Diabetes-Related Complications, and Mortality Among Five Unique Classes of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes in Singapore: A Latent Class Analysis of 71,125 Patients

OBJECTIVE With rising health care costs and finite health care resources, understanding the population needs of different type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patient subgroups is important. Sparse data exist for the application of population segmentation on health care needs among Asian T2DM patients. We aimed to segment T2DM patients into distinct classes and evaluate their differential health care use, diabetes-related complications, and mortality patterns. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Latent class analysis was conducted on a retrospective cohort of 71,125 T2DM patients. Latent class indicators included patient’s age, ethnicity, comorbidities, and duration of T2DM. Outcomes evaluated included health care use, diabetes-related complications, and 4-year all-cause mortality. The relationship between class membership and outcomes was evaluated with the appropriate regression models. RESULTS Five classes of T2DM patients were identified. The prevalence of depression was high among patients in class 3 (younger females with short-to-moderate T2DM duration and high psychiatric and neurological disease burden) and class 5 (older patients with moderate-to-long T2DM duration and high disease burden with end-organ complications). They were the highest tertiary health care users. Class 5 patients had the highest risk of myocardial infarction (hazard ratio [HR] 12.05, 95% CI 10.82–13.42]), end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis initiation (HR 25.81, 95% CI 21.75–30.63), stroke (HR 19.37, 95% CI 16.92–22.17), lower-extremity amputation (HR 12.94, 95% CI 10.90–15.36), and mortality (HR 3.47, 95% CI 3.17–3.80). CONCLUSIONS T2DM patients can be segmented into classes with differential health care use and outcomes. Depression screening should be considered for the two identified classes of patients.
Alternative Attri-Var Quality Control Sampling Inspection Methods

Sampling inspection methods used in industrial quality control normally take the form of inspection-by-attributes or inspection-by-variables methods. Inspection-by-attributes sampling plans are noted for their robustness with respect to any distributional form of the characteristic of an assumed continuous distribution (usually a normal distribution) and therefore are not necessarily robust as departures from this assumed distribution are encountered in practice but do permit relatively smaller sample sizes than would be required under an equivalent attributes sampling plan. In this paper we provide a new method for sampling inspection. The sample size levels and robustness of the new method lies in between the two classical inspection-byvariables and inspection-by-attributes sampling plans. The new method will be designed and explained, and its equivalence to the classical methods will be established. The sample size performance is thoroughly investigated and compared for the traditional and equivalent new methods. Their robustness will be discussed at a preliminary level.
Epizootiology of lumpy skin disease outbreak in cattle in middle of Egypt, 2006

The current investigation studied an outbreak of lumpy skin disease of cattle in Beni-Suef and Al-Fayium governorates from March up to September 2006. Epidemiological data over a total of 5500 cattle from all ages, breeds and sexes were investigated. Prevalence of lumpy skin antibodies was screened by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that revealed high exposure rates; 57% and 51.42% in Beni-Suef and Al Fayium governorates respectively Virus isolation was conducted on chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of specific pathogen free embryonated chicken egg (SPF-ECE) and MDBK cell culture. The virus identity was confirmed by passive haemagglutination and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on the infected CAM and MDBK cell culture. Experimental infection of rabbits was successful, demonstrating their possible roles in the epidemiological process of the disease.
Polyphenols from Salix tetrasperma Impair Virulence and Inhibit Quorum Sensing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Bacterial resistance represents one of the emerging obstacles in plants, animals, and humans that impairs treatment with antibacterial agents. Targeting of the bacterial quorum sensing system is one of the strategies to overcome this problem. Recently, research has been focused on natural and food components which can function as quorum sensing inhibitors. In this study, a methanol extract from Salix tetrasperma stem bark was phytochemically profiled by LC-MS analysis. This resulted in the identification of 38 secondary metabolites with (epi)catechin-(epi)catechin, epicatechin, tremulacin, salicortin, and trichocarposide as the major constituents. The extracts of both stem bark and the previously profiled flower of S. tetrasperma were tested for anti-quorum sensing activity in a common and widely distributed pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The natural products inhibited swimming and swarming motilities, as well as proteolytic and hemolytic activities in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular docking of the constituents from both extracts against the quorum sensing controlling systems Lasl/LasR, rhll/rhlR, and PQS/MvfR showed that epicatechin, (epi)catechin-(epi)catechin, p-hydroxy benzoyl galloyl glucose, p-hydroxy benzoyl protocatechuic acid glucose, and caffeoylmalic acid could be the main active components. This study supports the importance of secondary metabolites, especially polyphenols, as quorum sensing inhibitors.
Electrochemotherapy in Treatment of Canine Oral Malignant Melanoma and Factors Influencing Treatment Outcome

Abstract Background Oral malignant melanoma is the most common, but aggressive oral cancer in dogs with poor prognosis. Electrochemotherapy (ECT) has therapeutic potential in such tumors as effective local treatment. Therefore, the aim of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate treatment effectiveness of ECT in as first line treatment for canine oral malignant melanoma, and search for factors influencing treatment outcome. Methods Sixty-seven canines with primary oral malignant melanoma, non-candidates for first-line therapy, were enrolled. All dogs received ECT and follow-up exams for the span of two years. Results Based on RECIST criteria, the objective response rate was 100%, 89.5%, 57.7%, and 36.4%, in stage I, II, III and IV, respectively. Only patients in stage I, II and III with partial or complete response improved their quality of life. The median time to progression was 11, 7, 4 and 4 months, and median survival time after the treatment was 16.5, 9.0, 7.5 and 4.5 months, for patients in stage I, II, III and IV, respectively. Significantly better was local response in stage I and II disease (p = 0.0013), without the bone involvement (p = 0.043) Conclusions Electrochemotherapy is effective local treatment of oral canine malignant melanoma when no alternative treatment is available. Better response is expected in stage I and II patients with tumors without bone involvement.
Binary mixed molybdenum cobalt sulfide nanosheets decorated on rGO as a high-performance supercapacitor electrode

This work represents the production of MoS2/CoS2 hybridized with rGO as a material for high-performance supercapacitors. The hydrothermal method is used for the synthesis. The as-prepared material is characterized by x-ray diffraction spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. The size of the nanoparticles is estimated at 80 nm, and their uniform dispersion on rGO is observed from electron microscopy images. A high-specific capacitance of 190 mF cm−2 obtains for MoS2/CoS2/rGO at the current density of 0.5 mA cm−2 in 2 M KOH. The cyclic stability over 5000 cycles at a scan rate of 100 mV s−1 shows that the MoS2/CoS2/rGO electrode is stable, and 88.6% of its initial capacitance sustains at the end of 5000 cycles. This excellent performance is assigned to the synergistic effect of rGO and MoS2/CoS2. This electrode with excellent stability and capacitance could be a potential candidate for supercapacitor electrode materials.
Phylogenetics applied to the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1): from the cross-species transmissions to the contact network inferences

Phylogenetic analyses were crucial to elucidate the origin and spread of the pandemic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) group M virus, both during the pre-epidemic period of cryptic dissemination in human populations as well as during the epidemic phase of spread. The use of phylogenetics and phylodynamics approaches has provided important insights to track the founder events that resulted in the spread of HIV-1 strains across vast geographic areas, specific countries and within geographically restricted communities. In the recent years, the use of phylogenetic analysis combined with the huge availability of HIV sequences has become an increasingly important approach to reconstruct HIV transmission networks and understand transmission dynamics in concentrated and generalised epidemics. Significant efforts to obtain viral sequences from newly HIV-infected individuals could certainly contribute to detect rapidly expanding HIV-1 lineages, identify key populations at high-risk and understand what public health interventions should be prioritised in different scenarios.
Barriers to Healthcare and Disclosure of LGBTQIA + Identity for Transgender Males in Obstetrics and Gynaecology

Changes in culture and legislation have brought inclusivity and cultural competence to the forefront of medicine. Clinicians must be competent at delivering care for minority-status individuals, such as those who identify as transgender. The purpose of this study is to review the literature regarding the transgender patient group’s experience of healthcare, and to propose suggestions for outcome improvement in transgender medicine. English-language articles published after 2010 were searched for under the headings ‘transgender Gynaecology’ on PubMed and ‘female-to-male transgender disclosure Gynaecology’ on Ovid. Journal articles on disclosure of female-to-male transgender status in Obstetrics and Gynaecology were selected for analysis. Qualitative themes were identified and categorised under four main headings: barriers to access; forms of disclosure; clinician facilitation; implications for Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Twenty-five journal articles were included. Systemic stigma was a considerable force in determining whether patients felt properly managed within their healthcare system. Structural changes such as renaming ‘Women’s Health Services’ to ‘Reproductive Health Services’ and embedding transgender medicine into healthcare curricula could improve the experiences of transgender men in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Recent Advances in Practical Methods for Liver Cell Biology: A Short Overview

Molecular and cellular research modalities for the study of liver pathologies have been tremendously improved over the recent decades. Advanced technologies offer novel opportunities to establish cell isolation techniques with excellent purity, paving the path for 2D and 3D microscopy and high-throughput assays (e.g., bulk or single-cell RNA sequencing). The use of stem cell and organoid research will help to decipher the pathophysiology of liver diseases and the interaction between various parenchymal and non-parenchymal liver cells. Furthermore, sophisticated animal models of liver disease allow for the in vivo assessment of fibrogenesis, portal hypertension and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and for the preclinical testing of therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this review is to portray in detail novel in vitro and in vivo methods for the study of liver cell biology that had been presented at the workshop of the 8th meeting of the European Club for Liver Cell Biology (ECLCB-8) in October of 2018 in Bonn, Germany.
Effect of Spectral Channels on Speech Recognition, Comprehension, and Listening Effort in Cochlear-Implant Users

In favorable listening conditions, cochlear-implant (CI) users can reach high speech recognition scores with as little as seven active electrodes. Here, we hypothesized that even when speech recognition is high, additional spectral channels may still benefit other aspects of speech perception, such as comprehension and listening effort. Twenty-five adult, postlingually deafened CI users, selected from two Dutch implant centers for high clinical word identification scores, participated in two experiments. Experimental conditions were created by varying the number of active electrodes of the CIs between 7 and 15. In Experiment 1, response times (RTs) on the secondary task in a dual-task paradigm were used as an indirect measure of listening effort, and in Experiment 2, sentence verification task (SVT) accuracy and RTs were used to measure speech comprehension and listening effort, respectively. Speech recognition was near ceiling for all conditions tested, as intended by the design. However, the dual-task paradigm failed to show the hypothesized decrease in RTs with increasing spectral channels. The SVT did show a systematic improvement in both speech comprehension and response speed across all conditions. In conclusion, the SVT revealed additional benefits in both speech comprehension and listening effort for conditions in which high speech recognition was already achieved. Hence, adding spectral channels may provide benefits for CI listeners that may not be reflected by traditional speech tests. The SVT is a relatively simple task that is easy to implement and may therefore be a good candidate for identifying such additional benefits in research or clinical settings.
S-substituted 2-mercaptoquinazolin-4(3H)-one and 4-ethylbenzensulfonamides act as potent and selective human carbonic anhydrase IX and XII inhibitors

Abstract We evaluated the hCA (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitory activity of novel 4-(2-(2-substituted-thio-4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)ethyl)benzenesulfonamides (compounds 2–20) towards the isoforms I, II, IX, and XII. hCA Isoforms were effectively inhibited by most of new compounds comparable to those of AAZ. Compounds 2 and 4 showed interestingly efficient and selective antitumor (hCA IX and hCA XII) inhibitor activities (KIs; 40.7, 13.0, and 8.0, 10.8 nM, respectively). Compounds 4 and 5 showed selective hCA IX inhibitory activity over hCA I (SI; 95 and 24), hCA IX/hCA II (SI; 23 and 5.8) and selective hCA XII inhibitory activity over hCA I (SI; 70 and 44), hCA XII/hCA II, (SI; 17 and 10) respectively compared to AAZ. Compounds 12–17, and 19–20 showed selective inhibitory activity towards hCA IX over hCA I and hCA II, with selectivity ranges of 27–195 and 3.2–19, respectively, while compounds 12, 14–17, and 19 exhibited selective inhibition towards hCA XII over hCA I and hCA II, with selectivity ratios of 48–158 and 5.4–31 respectively, compared to AAZ. Molecular docking analysis was carried out to investigate the selective interactions among the most active derivatives, 17 and 20 and hCAs isoenzymes. Compounds 17 and 20, which are highly selective CA IX and XII inhibitors, exhibited excellent interaction within the putative binding site of both enzymes, comparable to the co-crystallized inhibitors. Highlights Quinazoline-linked ethylbenzenesulfonamides inhibiting CA were synthesised. The new molecules potently inhibited the hCA isoforms I, II, IV, and IX. Compounds 4 and 5 were found to be selective hCA IX/hCA I and hCA IX/hCA II inhibitors. Compounds 4 and 5 were found to be selective hCA XII/hCA I and hCA XII/hCA II inhibitors. Compounds 12–17, 19, and 20 were found to be selective hCA IX/hCA I and hCA IX/hCA II inhibitors. Compounds 12, 14–17, 19 were found to be selective hCA XII/hCA I and hCA XII/hCA II inhibitors. Graphical Abstract Compounds 4 and 5 are selective hCA IX and XII inhibitors over hCA I (selectivity ratios of 95, 23, and 24, 5.8, respectively) and hCA II (selectivity ratios of 70, 17, and 44, 10 respectively). Compounds 12–17, and 19–20 are selective hCA IX inhibitors over hCA I (selectivity ratios of 27-195) and hCA II (selectivity ratios of 3.2-19). Compounds 12, 14–17 and 19 are also selective hCA XII inhibitors over hCA I (selectivity ratios of 48-158) and hCA II (selectivity ratios of 5.4-31).
