USING SOME BIOCHEMICAL TREATMENTS TO IMPROVE NUTRITIVE VALUE OF SOME POOR QUALITY ROUGHAGES (IN VITRO AND IN VIVO STUDIES)

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of some biochemical treatments on the chemical composition in vitro, in vivo digestibility and nutritive values of some poor quality roughages, i.e. sugar cane bagasse (SCB) and corn cobs (Ccb). The experimental treatments were either 3-liter ZAD compound (Liquor) or 5 kg ZADO powder compound (a biotechnical powder product made from natural sources of cellulase enzyme from anaerobic bacteria) added to 500-liter water + 50 kg molasses and 20 kg urea/ton roughages. Sugar cane bagasse (SCB) and corn cobs (Ccb) treated with biological treatments (ZAD and/or ZADO compounds) and/or chemical treatment (urea) were ensiled for 30 days (In-vitro). Five biochemical treatments for both of the two tested roughages were conducted as follows; Untreated SCB or Ccb and served as a control (T1 & T6), SCB or Ccb treated with 3 litter ZAD compound (liquor)/ton +5% molasses (T2 & T7), SCB or Ccb treated with 3 litter ZAD compound (liquor)/ton + 2% urea + 5% molasses (T3T i.e. decreased (P<0.05) NDF, ADF, ADL, acid ash and hemicellulose, and showed insignificant effect on both of cellulose and lignin contents for both the two treated materials. However, variable significant responses were evident in the changes occurred in fiber fractions for both the two treated roughages. Adding ZAD and ZADO compounds to untreated roughages led to improve (P<0.05) nutrients coefficients digestibility and nutritive values in comparison with the untreated materials. However, both the two complete mixed rations indicated similar TDN, SE and DCP values i.e. 60.75% and 62.57%, 56.55% and 58.16% and 9.48% vs. 9.28% for both of SCB and Ccb rations, respectively. On the light of the present results, it could be concluded that treating poor quality roughages (SCB & Ccb) with the natural biological additives (probiotics ZAD & ZADO compounds) led to improve roughage chemical composition, digestibility of their nutrients, roughage palatability and in turn, might contribute to the marginal field of available roughage resources.
Correlation of Spinopelvic Parameters in Lumbar Spine Instability

Introduction: Sagittal spino-pelvic instability is the most common cause for chronic low back pain. Legaye stated that the pelvic incidence (PI) is an anatomical parameter for assessing spinal stability. Pelvic incidence can be calculated by adding pelvic tilt and sacral slope. Sacral table angle (STA) is the angle between the superior sacral endplate and the trailing edge line of sacrum. Objective: To prove the temporal association of pelvic incidence and sacral table angle and lumbar instability in patients with chronic low back pain. Materials and methods: A total of 191 cases with nonspecific low back pain with or without lumbar instability were analysed with spinal radiographs. The pelvic incidence and sacral table angle were calculated for L3 – L4, L4 – L5 and L5 – S1 levels. Results: Out of 191 cases, the levels of L5 – S1 cases showed 5% translation and 10° angulation. We observed a significantly statistical difference between two groups in terms of pelvic incidence (p=0.01) and sacral table angle (p<0.01). The lumbar instability of L5 – S1 segment is associated with lower pelvic incidence and increased sacral table angle. The Spearman’s Rank correlation coefficient (rho ρ) for the study was 0.745 which imply highly positive correlation between pelvic incidence and sacral table angle and lumbar instability. Conclusion: The spino-pelvic parameters influence the evolution of spinal degenerative disease. We observed that the patients with chronic low back pain without lumbar instability showed normal or decreased PI and increased STA whereas patients with chronic low back pain with lumbar instability showed increased PI and decreased STA. The cases with increased PI and decreased STA are prone to develop degenerative spinal pathology or discogenic pathology which alters the postural balance of spinal column. *Corresponding author: Madhan Jeyaraman, Department of Orthopaedics, JJM Medical College, Davangere – 577004, Karnataka, India, Tel: +918310600785; E-mail: madhanjeyaraman@gmail.com Received May 22, 2019; Accepted June 03, 2019; Published June 10, 2019 Citation: Jeyaraman M, Vijay Kumar K, Jeyaraman N, Singh A, Sharma L, et al.

CLINICAL EVALUATION OF ROOT CANAL OBTURATION QUALITY USING TWO DIFFERENT SEALERS AND OBTURATION TECHNIQUES BY CONE BEAM COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY (IN-VIVO STUDY)

Introduction: new materials and techniques were developed to achieve adequate root canal obturation by complete filling of the canal space with a stable, biocompatible material that prevents the ingress of bacteria and/or its by-products to periapical tissue. The purpose of this study was to evaluate quality of two different root canal sealer and filling techniques using cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) Materials and methods: Seventy-two root canals were prepared using protaper next rotary system. Root canals were divided into two equal groups 36 teeth each. Group I: teeth were obturated using single cone technique with MTA fill apex sealer. Group II: teeth were obturated using continuous wave technique with resin-based sealer (AH plus). The voids within filling materials as well as along dentin walls were examined using CBCT. Result: results revealed that the difference between different thirds was extremely statistically significant in single cone technique, while in continuous wave technique there was no significant difference between thirds. There was no significant difference between both techniques in apical and middle third, while in cervical third there was a significant difference, as single cone showed more voids. Both techniques showed accepted working length of the obturation. Conclusions: CBCT is an accurate tool for assessment of root canal filling quality. There were more voids present in coronal third in both techniques. Continuous wave technique showed fewer voids in cervical third compared to single cone technique. The present study showed that none of the root canal obturated teeth were gap-free.

Literature survey on the DESTRUCTION OF ATTACKS WITH MH HOP to HOP-AODV ROUTING PROTOCOL IN VEHICULAR AD-HOC NETWORK

- This paper proposed an Identity based Batch Verification (IBV) scheme for the purpose of securing the vehicular nodes from attacks. This scheme consists of three major phases they are system initialization, anonymous identity generation, and message signing and message authentication. In the first system initialization phase the trusted authority computes private key and public key. Then it chooses two hash functions and assigns a real identity and password for each vehicle. In second phase the unique real identity is verified. After completion of this verification it generates an anonymous identity which contains two parts. Next, third phase involves with single verification of one message and Batch verification of multiple
Integrated Analysis Identifies an Immune-Based Prognostic Signature for the Mesenchymal Identity in Gastric Cancer

Background Gastric cancer (GC) has been divided into four molecular subtypes, of which the mesenchymal subtype has the poorest survival. Our goal is to develop a prognostic signature by integrating the immune system and molecular modalities involved in the mesenchymal subtype. Methods The gene expression profiles collected from 6 public datasets were applied to this study, including 1,221 samples totally. Network analysis was applied to integrate the mesenchymal modalities and immune signature to establish an immune-based prognostic signature for GC (IPSGC). Results We identified six immune genes as key factors of the mesenchymal subtype and established the IPSGC. The IPSGC can significantly divide patients into high- and low-risk groups in terms of overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) in discovery (OS: P < 0.001) and 5 independent validation sets (OS range: P = 0.05 to P < 0.001; RFS range: P = 0.03 to P < 0.001). Further, in multivariate analysis, the IPSGC remained an independent predictor of prognosis and performed better efficiency compared to clinical characteristics. Moreover, macrophage M2 was significantly enriched in the high-risk group, while plasma cells were enriched in the low-risk group. Conclusions We propose an immune-based signature identified by network analysis, which is a promising prognostic biomarker and help for the selection of GC patients who might benefit from more rigorous therapies. Further prospective studies are warranted to test and validate its efficiency for clinical application.
Immunohistochemical expression of LAPTM4B in clear cell renal cell carcinoma by tissue microarray

This study assesses the immunohistochemical expression of LAPTM4B in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) by tissue microarray (TMA) and evaluates its association with pathologic features. Four TMAs were constructed with 59 cases of ccRCC samples for reliability assessment, and Spearman index was used for correlation analysis. Afterwards, LAPTM4B expression was evaluated on TMAs containing 126 samples. An H score was calculated in each spot. TMA can be used to reliably assess the expression levels of LAPTM4B in ccRCC tissues (P<0.001). LAPTM4B expression was observed in 80% (103/126) of the tumor samples, but little expressed in controls (35/126). Moreover, LAPTM4B expression was associated with TNM staging (P=0.016), lymph node metastasis (P=0.022), and vascular invasion (P=0.009). LAPTM4B expression had a positive correlation with Ki67 expression (P=0.006).
Protecting Polish Judges from the Ruling Party’s “Star Chamber”

The second time the Court was forced to make history happened at the time of the Polish authorities’ attempt to purge Poland’s Supreme Court, in obvious breach of both the Polish Constitution and EU law. The Court then ordered the immediate suspension of the application of the legislation which retroactively lowered the retirement age for Supreme Court judges. This meant that Polish authorities had to restore the Supreme Court to its situation prior to the entry into force of the law being challenged by the Commission.
DO CONVENTIAL DURATIOS WORK IN PRACTICE?

The Macaulay Duration could be roughly interpreted as the percentage change of a bond price if the shift of interest rate equals 1% along the whole zero-coupon curve; which is empirically very rare case. To deal with the prediction of short-term rates shifts and its consequences for the whole yield curve is more often praxis, thus it is useful to define a certain value which respects this fact and which is handled in the same way as Macaulay Duration. We name this measure as “Short Rate Shift Duration” and the main contribution of this study is to suggest a procedure which allows to find its values.
Social group behaviour of triads. Dependence on purpose and gender

We analysed a set of uninstructed pedestrian trajectories automatically tracked in a public area, and we asked a human coder to assess their group relationships. For those pedestrians who belong to the groups, we asked the coder to identify their apparent purpose of visit to the tracking area and apparent gender. We studied the quantitative dependence of the group dynamics on such properties in the case of triads (three people groups) and compared them to the two pedestrian group case (dyads), studied in a previous work. We found that the group velocity strongly depends on relation and gender for both triads and dyads, while the influence of these properties on spatial structure of groups is less clear in the triadic case. We discussed the relevance of these results to the modelling of pedestrian and crowd dynamics, and examined the possibility of the future works on this subject.
Bucovetsky, Sam und Haufler, Andreas: Preferential tax regimes with asymmetric countries

Current policy initiatives taken by the EU and the OECD aim at abolishing preferential corporate tax regimes. This note extends Keen’s (2001) analysis of symmetric capital tax competition under preferential (or discriminatory) and non-discriminatory tax regimes to allow for countries of different size. Even though size asymmetries imply a redistribution of tax revenue from the larger to the smaller country, a non-discrimination policy is found to have similar effects as in the symmetric model: it lowers the average rate of capital taxation and thus makes tax competition more aggressive in both the large and the small country.
New peptidendrocins and anticancer chartreusin from an endophytic bacterium of Dendrobium officinale

Background Endophyte has now become a potential source for the discovery of novel natural products, as they participate in biochemical pathways of their hosts and produce analogous or novel bioactive compounds. As an epiphytic plant, Dendrobium officinale is one of precious Chinese medicines with various activities. It is well known for containing diverse endophytes, but so far not much is known about their secondary metabolites. Methods the plant tissues were cut and cultured on agar plates to isolate and purify the endophytic bacteria from Dendrobium officinale. Taxonomical identification of strains was performed by 16s rRNA. At the same time, the crude extracts of the strains were tested for antibacterial and cytotoxic activities to screen out one endophyte, Streptomyces sp. SH-1.2-R-15 for further study. After scale-up fermentation, isolation, purification and structure elucidation by using MS, 1D/2D-NMR spectroscopic method, secondary metabolites were identified and submitted for biological activity test. Results Fifty-eight endophytic strains representing 9 genera were obtained, with 50% of strains were Streptomyces. One of the most active strain, Streptomyces sp. 1.2-R-15, was selected for bioassay-guided isolation, which led to the discovery of two new peptide-type compounds 1 and 2, as well as a bioactive chartreusin, and four other known natural products. Their structures were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic techniques. Chartreusin showed potent cytotoxicity against Hep3B2.1-7 (IC50 =18.19 µM) and H1299 (IC50 =19.74 µM) cancer cell lines, and antibacterial activity against S. aureus (IC50 =23.25 µM). Conclusions This study highlights the endophytic bacteria from medical plant D. officinale have potential bioactivity and natural product diversity, thus implicates them as a valuable source for new anticancer and antibiotics agents.
Informed or misinformed choice? Framing effects in a national information pamphlet on colorectal cancer screening

In March 2014 the Danish Health Authority established a national screening programme for colorectal cancer. During a four-year period all Danish citizens aged 50–74 years will receive an invitation along with an information pamphlet about the benefits and harms of participating. There is an international consensus that participation in cancer screening should be based on informed consent, as all screening programmes for cancer have the potential to bring about both benefits and harms. To enhance the possibility of making an informed choice about participation, it is essential to provide individuals with understandable and adequate information. The aim of this article was to examine to what extent a small, non-probability, but nevertheless heterogeneous sample of Danish citizens were able to understand the chances of benefits and risks of harms in the Danish national information pamphlet. We also explored whether the framing of the information had a ‘nudge effect’ on choice concerning participation. In March and April 2015 we conducted 14 individual semi-structured interviews. Through analysis using a ‘meaning condensation’ approach, we found evidence that the participants misunderstood important parts of the pamphlet. Our results further indicate that the information was framed so it nudged citizens to participate in screening. We argue that insufficient information and framing effects are in conflict with the requirements of informed consent and leave the citizen at risk of participating in potentially harmful procedures without understanding the consequences. Our analysis raises important ethical and legal questions regarding the pamphlet and its basis for making an informed choice.
Are the benefits of lean rapid process improvement workshops in healthcare worth the investment?

Background: Many organizations have adopted Lean tools to improve healthcare, but few studies adequately evaluate the effectiveness of Lean tools, such as Rapid Process Improvement Workshops (RPIWs). Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of RPIWs conducted in surgical services at two hospital sites from economic and statistical perspectives. Methods: Retrospective data over three years from the two interventions sites were used for a cost-benefit analysis in the form of Return on Investment (ROI). The Interrupted Time Series (ITS) method was used to analyze the trends of selected process measures such as surgical volumes, overtime, and sick time hours during intervention and post-intervention periods at the two sites. Also, comparable data from two control sites were used to statistically compare the trends of some of the process measures between the intervention and control sites. Results: The cumulative effects of the six RPIWs performed at each site were examined. The results did not produce any evidence to indicate that the outcomes justify the investments. The ITS analysis revealed no indication of systematic and sustained change in the pattern of process measures at the intervention sites as a result of RPIWs. Nor did they provide significant or conclusive evidence when comparing the process measures between the intervention and control sites. Conclusions: This study identifies some of the difficulties of empirically calculating the ROI of RPIWs, and provides evidence that any realized benefits due to RPIWs implemented in two hospitals were not worth the investment. Such a result may lead us to challenge any unfounded claims of high monetary benefits from Lean tools or similar quality improvement initiatives.
Evaluation of the foliar nutrition influence on selected quantitative and qualitative paprameters of sugar mayze (Zea mays SK saccharata)

We evaluated the effect of foliar application of fertilizer Tecnokel amino Zn on selected quantitative (weight of one corn cob, average length of corn cob, number of grains per row and number of rows per cob) and qualitative (total yield, total carotenoid content, total sugar content) parameters of sweetcorn. The small trail experiment was founded in 2016 in the Botanical Garden of the Slovak University of Agriculture. We observed 7 selected varieties of sweetcorn and two variants: control and with leaf nutrition. 15 plants we revaluated for each variety under both variants. The corn was grown in three repetitions for each variant. Based on the obtained results, we found that both the qualitative and quantitative parameters were mainly dependent on the genotype. Statistically significant was effect of the variety on the total sugar content in maize grains. Influence of foliar nutrition was not confirmed as statistically significant, but Tecnokel amino Zn has a positive impact on several quantitative parameters as weight of one maize ear or average length of corncobs. Content of total carotenoid doesn ́t depend on genotype or variant.
A School-Based Intervention Addressing Peer Perceptions of Disabilities

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), enacted in 1975, mandates a free and public education for children with disabilities. Yet, research shows that children with disabilities still do not always feel accepted in the public school system, and there are many improvements needed for an inclusive environment to be fully realized. Better awareness of peers with disabilities in the school system allows for a positive classroom environment and learning experience for all children. Increased awareness provides the possibility of school systems to modify their curriculum to better suit individuals with disabilities. Disability awareness interventions can improve children’s knowledge about peers with disabilities and can be approached in many ways. The purpose of this study was to measure student attitudes and perceptions of individuals with disabilities in a primary school setting in rural Virginia. Results from the study indicated a positive change in the perceptions and attitudes of participants after administration of the Whitehorse Disability Kit lessons over the course of four weeks. This study supports previous similar research as the attitudes and perceptions of children with disabilities increased after implementing four weeks of lesson plans. This study demonstrates the positive impact of incorporating disability awareness programs in the school system.
Aggregating Partial Least Squares Models for Open-set Face Identification

Identificacao de faces e uma tarefa importante em visao computacional com diversas aplicacoes, como em vigilância, computacao forense e interacao humano-computador. Nos ultimos anos, diversos metodos tem sido propostos a fim de identificar faces considerando um cenario com galeria fechada. A maioria deles assume que o mundo e completamente conhecido e todas as faces no teste necessariamente pertencem a um individuo da galeria. Entretanto, em aplicacoes mais realisticas, podemos querer determinar a identidade de uma face desconhecida, ou seja, face de quem a identidade nao pertence a nenhum individuo conhecido, consistindo em um cenario com galeria aberta. Nesse trabalho, propomos um novo metodo simples mas eficiente para identificacao de faces em galeria aberta por meio da combinacao de modelos Partial Least Squares. Experimentos sao executados em quatro datasets: FRGCv1, FG-NET, Pubfig e Pubfig83 e os resultados mostram significante melhoria quando comparado com abordagens estado-da-arte independente das dificuldades impostas pelos datasets.
