Advances in characterization of size-resolved organic matter in marine aerosol over the North Atlantic

0.80 m gm � 3 , the remainder being non-sea-salt (nss) sulphate, 0.03 ± 0.01 m gm � 3 , and nitrate, 0.13 ± 0.04 m gm � 3 . By comparison, the mass of sea salt, nss sulphate, and nitrate in the submicron mode is found to be 0.39 ± 0.08 m gm � 3 , 0.26 ± 0.04 m gm � 3 , and 0.02 ± 0.01 m gm � 3 , respectively. Water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) is observed in the submicron mode with a mass concentration of 0.25 ± 0.04 m gm � 3 , comparable to that of nss sulphate, and in the supermicron mode with a mass concentration of 0.17 ± 0.04 m gm � 3 . The WSOC to total carbon (TC) ratio is found to be 0.20 ± 0.12 for the submicron fraction and 0.29 ± 0.08 for the supermicron fraction, while the black carbon (BC) to TC ratio is, on average, 0.032 ± 0.001 for both aerosol modes. The remaining carbon, water-insoluble organic carbon, contributes 0.66 ± 0.11 m gm � 3 and 0.26 ± 0.06 m gm � 3 to the submicron and supermicron modes, respectively and, thus, represents the dominant submicron aerosol species. Furthermore, the WSOC chemical composition comprises mainly aliphatic and only partially oxidized species and humiclike substances, resulting in appreciable surface-active properties. The observed organic matter chemical features (size-dependent concentration, hydrophobic nature of a substantial fraction of the organic matter, and low oxidized and surface-active WSOC species) are consistent with the hypothesis of a primary marine source; bubble-bursting processes, occurring at the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean during phytoplankton blooms, effectively transfer organic matter into marine aerosol particles, particularly enriching the fine-aerosol fraction.

Prevalence of Oral Manifestations in Patients with Neutropenia, A Study in West of Iran

Background: Neutropenia is defined as abnormally decreased number of neutrophils in circulating blood. Various oral manifestations, including bacterial, viral, fungal lesions and oral ulcers may be seen in neutropenic patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of oral manifestations in neutropenic patients admitted to hospitals Sina and Fatemieh in 2006. Methods: Eighty neutropenic patients were evaluated in this study. Data on age, sex, leukocyte count, etiology of neutropenia was obtained from patients’ records. Oral examinations were conducted and the results were recorded. Results: In studied patients, neutropenia was caused by medications and iatrogenic factors, stem cell disorders, and infections as 55%, 36.2%, and 8.8%, respectively. 53.8% of patients had no oral lesions and 46. 2% of them had one or more types of oral lesions. The most common oral manifestation among these patients was oral ulcers in 25 cases. It was also observed angular cheilitis, petechiae, pseudomembranous oral candidiasis, gingivitis, erythematous candidiasis, NUG, and oral abscess in 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 3, 3, and 2 cases, respectively. Conclusion: according to this study, it can be concluded that oral lesions are observed in high prevalence in neutropenic patients. Of the most common oral lesions in neutropenic patients is oral ulcer.
Title : Many homes for tourism : reconsidering spatializations of home and away in tourism mobilities

Tourism mobilities have long been spatialized as circular structures emanating from a primary home that is opposed to a space of ‘away’. Increasingly complex personal mobilities and experiences with multiple homes, however, challenge the assumptions on which this spatialization of tourism rests. This paper utilizes an analysis of travel memoir narratives of return home and second home mobilities to deconstruct the oppositions within traditional spatializations of tourism, revealing in the process the way in which the everyday and tourism are entangled and interactive. Memoir authors construct complex relationships between spaces and places, wherein second homes can inspire new tourism practices at both unfamiliar locations and primary homes, and returning to previous homes can involve tourism of and at home. A consideration of these relationships reveals the difficulty of labeling mobilities as essentially touristic and suggests possibilities for new spatializations, ontology and methodologies that leave room for many homes for tourism.
Traditional fisheries of Antongil Bay, Madagascar

Madagascar’s marine fisheries provide revenue and sustenance for the island nation. Antongil Bay, the largest shallow-water bay along Madagascar’s eastern coast, harbors significant marine resources and is heavily utilized by traditional, artisanal (shark-fin) and industrial fisheries. Mean hourly catch rates are just under 1 kg/hour/fisher and mean daily catch rates are 4.4 kg/day/fisher. Beach seines, tamis (fine mesh seines), and combined use of gillnet and line were the most efficient gear types in terms of hourly and daily catch rates while gillnet and line were the most common gear types employed. Catch composition included 140 fish species from 69 families. Overall catch was dominated by species from Scombridae and Carangidae (Atule mate, Decapterus russelli, Megalaspis cordyla, Rastrilliger kanagurta). The Bay appears to be an important breeding habitat for scalloped hammerhead (Sphyrna lewini) and other species in the family Carcharhinidae. Given the multi-species and multi-sector nature of this fishery, ecosystembased management, wherein sensitive habitats are protected and limits are placed on destructive gear, is recommended, along with a zoning program to control resource-use overlap and encourage ownership.
A Compact UWB Stacked Circular MonopoleAntenna with Band Dispensation

A printed low profile monopole antenna with stacked structure for UWB applications is proposed. The antenna system has a circular radiating element coupled to a square patch by a via hole. The antenna is fabricated on a FR4 substrate and is fed by a 50Ω microstripeline feed. The operation bandwidth of antenna ranges from 3.2 GHz to 11 GHz with band dispensation from 5GHz to 6.3 GHz to provide interference elimination from WLAN bands. The ground plane dimensions are optimized for an improved antenna performance. The via holes facilitate stacked structure and hence achieves wide operation bandwidth. The impedance bandwidth (VSWR <2) of the antenna is 107 % and the gain of the proposed antenna is stable in the entire operation band with a peak value of 2.9 dB. The antenna provides a consistent radiation pattern. The designed antenna system has the smallest dimensions among many existing footprints with improved impedance bandwidth performances.
Use of Point-of-Care Ultrasonography in Simulation-Based Advanced Cardiac Life Support Scenarios

Background: Ultrasonography is an effective tool for diagnosing potential reversible aetiologies of cardiac arrest. We developed an educational curriculum for critical care ultrasonography involving multiple sequential cardiac arrest simulation scenarios and assessed the efficacy of participants’ performance. Methods: Didactic lectures and hands-on training sessions were provided before participants were divided into simulation teams for a series of five scenarios in which they were instructed to utilize ultrasonography during ongoing advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). Simulation sessions were videotaped and subsequently reviewed for extraction of parameters relating to ACLS adherence and performance of point-of-care ultrasonography examination. The primary outcome was duration of no-flow interval (NFI), the period during which chest compressions are halted and ultrasound examination is typically performed. We also collected data on NFI score (based on simulation team performance during NFI), time from arrest to first chest compressions, time from arrest to defibrillation, and other parameters describing team performance. Results: Fifty-five course participants comprised 12 simulation teams. For all participants, the average NFI was 22.2 s (95% CI, 19.1-25.2) during scenario 1, with declines in duration thereafter (P ≤ 0.004). In subsequent scenarios, an increasing proportion of NFI occurred within the interval of 10 s (P = 0.018). Conclusion: Simulation is an effective teaching modality for critical care ultrasonography. Novice ultrasound users can be taught to perform point-of-care ultrasonography effectively during simulated cardiopulmonary arrest in an ACLS-compliant manner, a finding that may have significant implications for the clinical management of in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Running Head : MINDFULNESS INTERVENTION ATTENUATES DESIRE TO ESCAPE A Brief Mindfulness Intervention Attenuates Desire to Escape Following the Experimental Induction of Interpersonal Adversity : Implications for Suicide Prevention

According to the interpersonal theory of suicide, perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness are proximal causal factors underlying suicidal desire. The current study examined whether a brief mindfulness intervention can attenuate the deleterious effects of these interpersonal factors on desire to escape, a potential antecedent to suicide risk. Participants (N = 92) completed a computerised team task designed to manipulate perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness (high or low PB/TB) and were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: (1) low PB/TB without intervention, (2) high PB/TB without intervention, (3) high PB/TB with a brief mindfulness intervention administered at the halfway point, or (4) high PB/TB with a brief unfocused attention intervention administered at the halfway point. As expected, simultaneous induction of perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness increased desire to escape in the initial stages of the task in all three high PB/TB conditions. However, the mindfulness intervention attenuated the effects of the interpersonal factors on desire to escape across the latter stages of the task relative to the unfocused attention intervention and the high PB/TB condition where no intervention was administered. Findings suggest that mindfulness interventions may protect against the type of interpersonal adversity causally implicated in suicidal desire.
Stimulus of socio-cultural factors, internalization, food choice and eating pattern / Mohd Azmin Akbarruddin and Zulhan Othman

This paper reports the empirical investigation which examines the perception of young women on socio-cultural factors, internalization, and their food choices and eating pattern and comparing the differences of those factors toward body image based on their marital status. Through a descriptive research design using a quantitative method with self-reported and self-administered questionnaires, this study surveyed the young single and married women with an age range from 18 to 35 years old. Results revealed that socio-cultural factors specifically parents, peers and media influence the young women concern of the body image and desire to be having an ideal body figure also influence their food choices and eating patterns. Also, the internalization and perceived pressure to some extent affect the young women body image dissatisfaction and single women exhibit more concern on body figure, social pressure and sources of information on ideal body image and consequently influence their food selection and eating pattern compared the young married women.
Wanna Get Away? Rd Identification Away from the Cutoff

In the canonical regression discontinuity (RD) design for applicants who face an award or admissions cutoff, causal effects are nonparametrically identified for those near the cutoff. The impact of treatment on inframarginal applicants is also of interest, but identification of such effects requires stronger assumptions than are required for identification at the cutoff. This paper discusses RD identification away from the cutoff. Our identification strategy exploits the availability of dependent variable predictors other than the running variable. Conditional on these predictors, the running variable is assumed to be ignorable. This identification strategy is illustrated with data on applicants to Boston exam schools. Functional-form-based extrapolation generates unsatisfying results in this context, either noisy or not very robust. By contrast, identification based on RD-specific conditional independence assumptions produces reasonably precise and surprisingly robust estimates of the effects of exam school attendance on inframarginal applicants. These estimates suggest that the causal effects of exam school attendance for 9th grade applicants with running variable values well away from admissions cutoffs differ little from those for applicants with values that put them on the margin of acceptance. An extension to fuzzy designs is shown to identify causal effects for compliers away from the cutoff.
Topical drug delivery: An essential aid in the management of oral diseases

Topical medications play an important role in the management of oral lesions. Various topical medications ranging from topical anesthetics to topical antineoplastics have been widely used in dentistry. Topical medications have been extensively used as the first line of therapy in many conditions such as vesiculobullous diseases, oral infections like candidiasis, herpes simplex, potentially malignant disorders, neuropathic pain, and oral mucositis. Topical drug therapy provides targeted and a more efficient drug delivery options for the local oral lesions as compared to systemic therapy. While accessibility, lower systemic side effects, and many other advantages are associated with the usage of topical oral medications, several challenges are also faced such as taste alterations, poor penetration, and limited surface area. The objective of this review is to provide insight into the mechanism of topical drug delivery, summary of various topical medications used in oral lesions, advantages and disadvantages, characteristic of oral mucosa and various challenges faced in delivering topical medications.

This study attempted to: investigate the criteria used in electing individuals to leadership positions within UASU, find out women's capabilities in performing leadership roles in trade unions, identify societal perceptions towards women and leadership roles in the public realm and find out what efforts UASU is making towards enhancing integration and participation of women in the union's activities. A descriptive survey method was used. A total of 200 respondents drawn from Kenyan public universities took part in the study. The sample comprised of 169 male university academic staff, 31 female university academic staff selected using equal proportionate stratified sampling design. Purposive sampling was employed in selecting members of the UASU executive committee. Data was collected using questionnaires and interview schedule. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in data Analyses. To test whether there was any difference between the university male and female teaching staff responses regarding moods, commitment, acceptability and efficiency, a One Way Analysis of Variance was chosen in order to prove or disprove the Patriarchy Theory. The study revealed that: women are viewed as equally efficient and even more committed compared to their male counterparts; the widespread view and opinion is that they are moody; a majority view women as not being ambitious; 33% of the respondents feel that women in leadership positions face stiffer challenges as opposed to their male counterparts and that 62.5% of the respondents are of the opinion that women in decision-making committees are given equal hearing and participation opportunities by their male counterparts.

Majority of the respondents felt the impacts of the pain in their lives.
Introducing an Optimized Method for Obtaining X-ray Diffraction Patterns of Biological Tissues

Introduction Individual X-Ray diffraction patterns of biological tissues are obtained via interference of coherent scattering with their electrons. Many scientists have distinguished normal and cancerous breast tissue, bone density, and urinary stone types using the X-Ray diffraction patterns resulting from coherent scattering. The goal of this study was to introduce an optimized method for obtaining X-ray diffraction patterns of different types from biological tissues. Materials and Methods A special tool constituting primary and scatter collimators as well as a sample holder was designed and built. All measurements were done using an X-ray tube, the above-mentioned tool, and a semiconductor detector (HPGe). The X-ray diffraction patterns of some tissue-equivalent materials (acrylic, polyethylene, nylon, and calcium carbonate) and biological tissues (adipose, muscle, and bone) were obtained. Results The corresponding peak positions for adipose, muscle, bone, acrylic, polyethylene, nylon, and calcium carbonate in corresponding X-ray diffraction patterns are located in 1. 1Â±0.055 nm-1, 1. 41Â±0.072, 1. 6Â±0.08 nm-1, 0. 8Â±0.04 nm-1, 1. 03Â±0.051 nm-1, 1. 22Â±0.061 nm-1, and 1.7 Â± 0.085 nm-1, respectively. Conclusion The X-ray diffraction patterns obtained in this study were in good agreement relative to previous measurements in terms of peak position. This study introduces a useful setup for extraction of X-ray diffraction patterns from different biological tissues.

A Sociologically Informed Ethics of American Science Literacy: Toward a Transdisciplinary Understanding

This paper reexamines the ethics of improving public knowledge about science and technology, or science literacy. Rather than reproduce the core themes of the large body of literature on this topic over a number of decades, this paper uses National Science Foundation’s Science and Engineering Indicators for the 10-year period 2002-2012 to inform a transdisciplinary analysis of knowledge production, and kinds of science knowledge produced. In particular, the paper highlights the need to identify different sub-publics, understand their value systems and the socio-cultural contexts in which they operate, and how these publics are not simply passive consumers of knowledge, but are themselves co-producers and appliers of science related knowledge. The paper thus argues for an ethics of scientific literacy that takes account of knowledge production beyond disciplinary and interdisciplinary frameworks, and uses this understanding to foster an authentic deliberative partnership of engagement.
