Structure and Diversity of the Bacterial Communities in the Acid and Thermophilic Crater-Lake of the Volcano “El Chichón”, Mexico

Abstract El Chichón is an active volcano located in the Chiapas Volcanic Arc characterized by high temperatures, low pH, and large heavy metal concentrations. High temperatures are known to affect microorganisms, so the bacterial community structure was investigated in crater-lake sediment at a ‘low’ 50 °C and a ‘high’ 92 °C by sequencing the 16S rRNA bacterial gene. Most metal concentrations, and bacterial richness, and diversity indexes were higher at 50 °C than at 92 °C. Fifteen phyla were found in the sediment at 50 °C dominated by Actinobacteria (33.1%), Proteobacteria (29.1%) and Acidobacteria (20.1%). Nine phyla dominated by Firmicutes (52.7%, mostly Alicyclobacillus and Sulfobacillus) and Proteobacteria (44.8%, mostly Bradyrhizobium, Methylobacterium, Sediminibacterium) were detected in the sediment at 92 °C. The predictive functional profiling indicated metabolic pathways related to amino acid metabolism, membrane transport, replication, and repair as the most important. It was found that although a large number of bacterial groups were well adapted to 92 °C, the higher temperature reduced strongly, the bacterial diversity and species richness in the El Chichón volcano crater-lake system, and altered the bacterial community structure and their functionality.
Attention and the motion after effect: New measurements with visual search reveal important individual differences in adaptability

It is usually assumed that sensory adaptation is a universal property of human vision. However, in two experiments designed to measure adaptation without bias, we have discovered a minority of participants who were unusual in the extent of their adaptation to motion. One experiment was designed so that targets would be invisible without adaptation; the other, so that adaptation would interfere with target detection. In the first, participants adapted to a spatial array of moving Gabor patches. On each trial the adapting array was followed by a test array in which but all of the test patches except one were identical to their spatially corresponding adaptors; the target moved in the opposite direction to its adaptor. Participants were required to identify the location of the changed target with a mouse click. The ability to do so increased with the number of adapting trials. Neither search speed nor accuracy was affected by an attentionally-demanding conjunction task at the fixation point during adaptation, suggesting low-level (pre-attentive) sites in the visual pathway for the adaptation. However, a minority of participants found the task virtually impossible. In the second experiment the same participants were required to identify the one element in the test array that was slowly moving: reaction times in this case were elevated following adaptation. The putatively weak adapters from the first experiment found this task easier than the strong adapters.
COMMUNICATING LITHUANIA’S DESTINATION BRANDING

Increasingly, academics and practitioners are turning their attention towards destination branding as a serious topic of research and enquiry. In an attempt to differentiate themselves from competitors, tourism authorities across Europe are developing unique and highly targeted advertising campaigns. However, research being conducted indicates that whatever the destination country, tourists make their decisions for very similar reasons. This research analyses how Lithuania brand communicates its campaign message to tourists, and the experience of those tourists who have visited the country, as well as gauge their response, i.e. expectations, opinions and recommendations about the campaign. Specifically, the research analysed the destination branding campaign “Lithuania. Real is Beautiful” and its corollary, i.e. nature (“See nature”), culture (“Explore culture”), food (“Taste food”), people (“Meet people”) and activity (“Stay active”), and how (and in what ways) the campaign reflects the criteria that tourists used to make Lithuania their holiday destination, as well as the opinions they formed about our country. The response from tourists clearly shows that Lithuania’s current advertising campaign is failing to make the connection with, and leverage off, the country’s highly symbolic national flag. The red, green and yellow of the flag demonstrate a visual uniqueness and act as signifiers for the country as a whole, and this is what tourists would like to see.
Microsatellite Analysis to Study Genetic Diversity in Khasi Pine (Pinus Kesiya Royle Ex. Gordon) Using Chloroplast SSR Markers

Abstract Pinus kesiya (Khasi pine) is the principal pine species in northeast India having high commercial value. Chloroplast microsatellites (cpSSR) were used to study the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of 10 populations of P. kesiya covering entire natural range of distribution in India. A total of 33 primer pairs (cpSSRs) of P. thunberghii and P. sylvestris were tested in P. kesiya for their transferability, out of which 18 chloroplast primers showed positive amplification and 10 were found polymorphic. A total of 250 individuals from 10 different populations were genotyped using the selected 10 cpSSRs. When alleles at each of the 10 loci were jointly analysed a total of 36 size variants were discovered, which combined to designate 90 haplotypes among 250 individuals. None of the haplotype was found common among the populations as they were population specific. The cpSSR indicated that P. kesiya populations have maintained a moderately high genetic diversity (HT=0.638) which is typical in most coniferous species. However, the inter-population genetic diversity was higher than the intra population diversity and the genetic differentiation between populations was also found to be very high (FST=0.47). A Bayesian cluster analysis separated the populations into six clusters where most of the individuals were found in single population clusters with minor admixtures. The distribution of genetic diversity and sub structuring of P. kesiya reflect week pollen mediated gene flow due to geographic isolation and genetic drift. The study has revealed useful cpSSR markers for P. kesiya, which were lacking earlier and also added an insight into the state of Khasi pine forest in the region, which can be useful for the better management and future conservation programs.
A non-canonical arm of UPRER mediates longevity through ER remodeling and lipophagy

Longevity is dictated by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. One of the key mechanisms implicated in regulating lifespan extension is the ability to induce protein chaperones to promote protein homeostasis. However, it is unclear whether protein chaperones exclusively regulate longevity. Previous work has shown that activating the unfolded protein response of the endoplasmic reticulum (UPRER) in neurons can signal peripheral tissues to promote chaperone expression, thus enhancing organismal stress resistance and extending lifespan. Here, we find that this activation not only promotes chaperones, but facilitates a dramatic restructuring of ER morphology in intestinal cells. This restructuring, which includes depletion of lipid droplets, ER expansion, and ER tubulation, depends of lipophagy. Surprisingly, we find that lipophagy is required for lifespan extension and is completely independent of chaperone function. Therefore, UPR induction in neurons triggers two distinct programs in the periphery: the canonical arm through protein chaperones, and a non-canonical mechanism through lipid depletion. In summary, our study identifies lipophagy as an integral component of UPRER-induced longevity.
Joint stability of internal conical connection abutments with or without hexagon indexes: an in vitro study

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the axial displacement of the hexagonal and conical abutment in internal conical connection implant after screw tightening and cyclic loading. Materials and Methods: Internal conical connection implants were divided into two groups (n = 10): group HEX, hexagonal abutment; and group CON, conical 2-piece abutments. The axial displacement and removal torque values were measured after 30 Ncm torque tightening and 250N loading test of 100,000 cycles. The Student t test with 5% significance level was used to evaluate the data. Results: HEX group demonstrated significantly higher axial displacement values after 30 Ncm tightening in comparison to the CON group ( P < 0.05). No significant difference was found in axial displacement after cyclic loading ( P = 0.052). Removal torque loss before and after the cyclic loading both revealed no significant difference between groups ( P = 0.057 and P = 0.138). Removal torque value decreased after cyclic loading in both groups ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: Overall, both abutment with or without hexagon index presented similar biomechanical performance except HEX group demonstrated significantly more axial displacement after applying tightening torque.

CORRELATION BETWEEN EMOTION REGULATION AND SPIRITUALITY WITH STRESS IN CAREGIVERS OF ELDERLY

Stress occurs while caring for the elderly due to several factors, namely the emotion regulation and spirituality. This study aims to examine the correlation between stress with emotion regulation and spirituality in caregivers of the elderly at Karangmojo 1 Health Center, Gunungkidul. The purposive sampling method was used to obtain data from 36 caregivers on the emotion regulation and spirituality as well as stress scale with Alpha Cronbach's reliability coefficient of 0.871, 0.921, and 0.905, respectively. The results showed that r = 0.485 and Sig. 0.012 (p 0.05). Therefore there is a correlation between stress, emotion regulation, and spirituality. This means that the higher the control of emotion and spiritual level, the lower the pressure. Furthermore, this research expects to provide input in the realm of psychology. For example, it can be used as a reference to help caregivers deal with stress by increasing their emotion regulation and spirituality skills.
Developing an Electrical Outlet using Internet of Things (IoT)

The concept of bringing comfort to homes through the process of utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) in the development of an electrical system is the main focus of the study. It was anchored on development of interface theory for component architecture, diffusion of innovation theory and the IoT. It sought to determine the following: the design of the system using IoT; the developed electrical system; the performance of the system in terms of activation and response time; and the significant difference on the response time according to groups. The output of the study was derived using the rapid application development (RAD) methodology. The NodeMCU microcontroller was coded in the Arduino IDE and needs internet connection in order to be controlled by the installed application and can remotely operates the socket regardless of distance using an android smart phone. SSID and wifi password was set and the user interface for the app was designed using the MIT app inventor and ThingkSpeak as the open IoT platform. The result for the activation time shows that the internet speed faster the activation time. The mean average for the response time of the four sampled group areas are within the third limit of user perception of 10 seconds. The analysis of variance shows that the F value is below the F critical value at level of significance of 0.01. Thus, there is no significant difference in response time according to groups.
BONDING EFFICIENCY OF UNIVERSAL ADHESIVE TO DENTINE IN DIFFERENT ETCHING AND CURING MODES

Adhesive bond strength and polymerization shrinkage are influenced by many different factors, including etching mode and light properties of a curing source. Different etching and curing techniques have been developed in an attempt to reduce polymerization shrinkage and stress development, thereby increasing the bond strength at the composite/dentine interface. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of total-etch and self-etch mode as well as continuous and soft-start light curing mode on micro-tensile bond strength of bulkfill composite to dentine using universal adhesive. According to the etching and lightcuring mode applied, teeth were randomly divided into four different groups (n = 15): TC (total-etch, continuous mode), TS (total-etch, soft-start), SC (soft-start, continuous mode) and SS (selfetch, soft-start). Cylindric composite build-ups were made with 3M FiltekBulkfill Posterior. Specimens were subjected to micro tensile bond strength test in a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The failure force was recorded in Newton (N) and calculated in MPa as a ratio of Newton to the surface of the bonded area. Data were analyzed using twoway ANOVA and Students t-test.Micro tensile bond strength was not affected by the lightcuring mode since no significant statistical difference was determined between the continuous and soft-start groups, irrespective of the etching mode used. On the other hand, micro tensile bond strength was highly influenced by the etching mode since significant statistical difference was determined between the total-etch and self-etch groups, irrespective of the lightcuring mode.

The Influence of Commercial Banks in Financing Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria: A Case Study of Fidelity Bank Plc and First Bank of Nigeria Plc in Ibadan etropolis

This study investigated the influence of commercial banks in financing small and medium scale enterprises in Nigeria to determine the extent to which SMEs access relevance services and credit facilities from Fidelity and First banks as well as their contributions to economic growth in Ibadan metropolis. Descriptive research design was adopted. Purposive sampling technique was used to sample 200 owners of SMEs in Oluyole Local Government Area of Oyo state. Data collected were analysed using frequency counts, simple percentage score and regression analysis. The study showed that only 9.37% of the respondents had access to the banking services whereas 37.1% had no access to the banking services being provided by Fidelity and First banks in Ibadan metropolis. From the findings, 2.3% of the respondents strongly agreed that they obtained loans frequently whereas 32.1% strongly disagreed; 8% of them strongly agreed that bank charges on loans are moderate and affordable 38.9% refuted the position. The findings generally revealed that SMEs do not have adequate access to loan facilities from the commercial banks. It is therefore recommended that commercial and microfinance banks should offer financial services like credit facilities at moderate rate of interest with less stringent conditions to SMEs to grow their businesses and generate more employment within the economic hub of the country.
Construction of a Mercapto-Functionalized Zr-MOF/Melamine Sponge Composite for the Efficient Removal of Oils and Heavy Metal Ions from Water

The treatment of multicontaminant wastewater has attracted extensive attention in recent years. Herein, we synthesized a porous and hydrophobic composite (Zr-MOF-SH/MF) via the in situ growth of mercapto-functionalized Zr-metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) (Zr-MOF-SH) on the surface of a melamine formaldehyde (MF) sponge. The successful growth of hydrophobic Zr-MOF-SH, as confirmed by SEM, XRD, and XPS analysis, made the MF sponge become hydrophobic with a water contact angle of 125°. The adsorption capacity of the Zr-MOF-SH/MF composite for dichloromethane can reach up to 113 g/g. Moreover, the composite can efficiently and selectively remove Hg2+ ions from water. Especially, PCN-224-MAA/MF had an adsorption capacity of 412.5 mg/g for Hg2+ ions. The removal efficiency of Hg2+ ions increased as the oil content in the oil–water mixture increased. In addition, PCN-224-MAA/MF can be recovered and reused five times with only a slight decrease in adsorption capacity. This study provides a promising strategy for the synthesis of a dual-functional composite that exhibits excellent performance in removing oil and heavy metal ions simultaneously from water.
Mobile learning in a flipped classroom: findings from a “5-lecture-5” blended learning design for large classes

Abstract Objective We aimed to develop and evaluate a mobile learning (m-learning) design for large group application learning based on flipped classroom approach within an integrated curriculum of medical faculty. Materials and methods Totally 359 students enrolled in a two-credit course during the 2017–2018 academic year. An instructional design called 5-Lecture-5 (5L5) was implemented via mobile application. This design is a blend of m-learning and flipped classroom approaches, with pre-, during-, and post-lecture elements. Data were analysed using Chi-square, Mann–Whitney U, and Kruskal–Wallis tests. Open-ended questions and course observations were analysed thematically and reported together. Results Of the participating students, 26.96% who saw the first announcement examined pre-lecture materials and 55.43% attended face-to-face lecture. Achievement test scores of those who attended lecture were significantly higher (p = 0.027). Correct response rates for each question were 99.30, 72.10, 58.70, and 94.40%, respectively. Consequently, students demonstrated positive attitude towards m-learning (M = 170.15 ± 28.48). The most preferred positive aspects were “active learning,” “interactive,” “entertaining,” “useful,” and “repeatable. ” Conclusions M-learning activities within a flipped classroom with instant feedback were found to increase participation and interaction levels of students in classroom setting, resulting in their increased enjoyment and engagement.
ETUDE SYSTÉMATIQUE, PHYLOGÉNÉTIQUE ET PHYLOGÉOGRAPHIQUE DE QUELQUES ESPÈCES DE PATELLES

Une étude phylogénétique et phylogéographique sur quelques espèces de Gastéropodes prosobranches a été réalisée sur la côte algérienne afin de comprendre le patron de connectivité entre leurs populations, en expliquant par les données paléontologiques les causes de leur divergence. Ceci nous a donné une idée sur la plasticité morphologique des patelles étudiées puisque l ’aspect morphologique ne pouvait pas toujours être un critère de raprochement intraspécifique. Aussi, nous avons pu constater que la divergence et la répartition géographique entre les espèces de patelles étudiées concordait avec certains bouleversements paléontologiques, ce qui pourrait être la cause des divergences des espèces étudiées.
Speculator Spreading Pressure and the Commodity Futures Risk Premium

This paper investigates the impact of speculative trading on the commodity futures risk premium. We focus on speculators’ spread positions, and study the asset pricing implications of spreading pressure on the cross-section of commodity futures returns. Spreading pressure negatively predicts futures excess returns even after controlling for well-known determinants of futures returns such as basis-momentum. A long-short portfolio based on spreading pressure signal carries a significant risk premium of 20.95% per annum in the era of financialization of commodity markets. Our single-factor model provides a better cross-sectional fit than the existing factor models. We show that spreading pressure reflects speculators’ expectations on the change in the shape of futures term structure, is linked to commodity index investment, and the spreading pressure factor is explained by innovations in real economic uncertainty.
Bioavailability, fractionation of pb and Zn in the rhizosphere of sunflower in chelators-amended contaminated soil

ABSTRACT Assisted phytoremediation procedures have been widely employed as soil removal instrument of heavy metals from contaminated soils. Rhizosphere processes have a major impact on pb and Zn availability and its fractions in soils. The present study evaluates the effects of EDTA, citric acid (CA) and poultry manure extract (PME) on bioavailability and fractionation of pb, Zn in both the rhizosphere of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and bulk soil. EDTA and CA were added to soils at the rates of 0, 0.5 and 1 mmol kg−1 soil and PME at 0, 0.5 and 1 g kg−1 soil as factorial in a completely randomized pattern with three replicates in greenhouse condition. Results showed that chelator application had a significant impact (p < 0.05) on pb, Zn extraction by different extractants and its fractions in soils. The order of concentrations of pb, Zn present in different fractions in soil treated by chelators was: oxides-bounded fraction > residual fraction > OM-bounded fraction > carbonate-bounded fraction > exchangeable fraction. Biochemical soil characteristics in the sunflower rhizosphere change resulting from its roots contributing to pb, Zn decline in mobile soil fractions, and change in soil pb, Zn fractions that are generally regarded as more stable.
The Experimental Study of the Utilization of Recycling Aggregate from the Demolition of Elements of a Reinforced Concrete Hall

The article shows a case study as to whether the thermal and mechanical recycling of concrete is suitable for concrete debris from the demolition of structural elements of a 30-year-old industrial hall. The experiment included 10 series of new composites made from heated recycled concrete aggregate (HRCA) subjected to different variants of heat treatment and one additional control series with only natural aggregate (NA). The compressive strength of the new concretes has been determined. The microscopic observations of HRCA have also been made. The test results revealed that proper heat treatment of concrete rubble makes it possible to obtain a high-quality recycled coarse aggregate, which can be used as a 100% replacement for natural coarse aggregates in new concretes.
