Effect of substrate ratios and temperatures on development of Maillard reaction and antioxidant activity of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) protein hydrolysate–glucose system

Summary The study of antioxidant activity of the hydrolysates is necessary during its processing in which Maillard reaction would often occur. To understand the effect of Maillard reaction on antioxidant activity of silver carp protein hydrolysates (SPH), the Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were prepared at different ratios between SPH and glucose by Maillard reaction in powdered state, respectively. MRPs possessed a strong 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and reducing power (P < 0.05). The hydrolysate and glucose heated with the ratio of 2:1 at 60 °C showed high browning intensity and good antioxidant properties (P < 0.05). According to the correlation coefficients of variables included in the hydrolysate–glucose system, good correlations were observed among the antioxidant activities, the absorbance at 294 nm and the loss of free amino groups. The results suggested that Maillard reaction has a good potential to improve the antioxidant activity of SPH.
An Overview of Entrepreneurial Competencies

Entrepreneurship is regarded as one of the key development initiative which leads to employment, economic growth innovation and competitiveness. The success of entrepreneurship depends upon the entrepreneurial competencies of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship competencies refer to the characteristics possessed by budding entrepreneurs in order to perform their function effectively- knowledge, skill and motives / attitude are the major components of competencies. Knowledge and skill constituents are tend to be visible and motives / attitudes are more hidden to one’s personality. Entrepreneurial competencies could be developed, even though they are not innate. Competency identification, competency assessment, competency mapping and Development intervention are the important methods used for developing entrepreneurial competencies. Formal entrepreneurship education system in the higher education could mould the entrepreneurship competencies of young entrepreneurs (i.e.) students. It also enhances the problem solving abilities and helps to face real world entrepreneurial problem challenges and opportunities.
Expression und Funktion neuronaler Leitmoleküle im Hippokampus

In this work, the semaphorins Sema3A and Sema3C as well as Netrin-1 and their receptors, the neuropilins and DCC, were investigated regarding their expression and functional properties on outgrowing axons, which are forming the intrinsic and afferent hippocampal projections. Because of the already well known expression patterns of Sema3A, this work focused on the expression of the receptor of Sema3A, NP-1. From embryonic stage E17 on, NP-1 is expressed in the entorhinal cortex, the subiculum and the hippocampal Anlage. A strong postnatal expression of NP-1 in the CA3-region could be detected, while the expression pattern in the CA1-region, the dentate gyrus and the entorhinal cortex was weaker. Additionally, the expression patterns of Sema3C and NP-2 were investigated in greater detail. At birth (P0), Sema3C was expressed in the dentate gyrus and the cornu ammonis region. The expression of its receptor NP-2 could be detected at the same timepoint P0 in the dentate gyrus and the CA3-region and, less pronounced, in the CA1-region.There could not be detected any expression of Sema3C or NP-2 in the entorhinal cortex. In functional coculture studies between with Sema3A or Sema3C transfected cell clusters and neuronal explants from subregions of the hippocampal formation, these factors were investigated for their influence on axonal outgrowth within a three-dimensional collagen gel matrix. Sema3A has repulsive properties on explants from the dentate gyrus, the CA1and CA3regions and the entorhinal cortex. I the resulting model, the interaction between Sema3A and NP-1 influences the ingrowth and/or the termination of entorhinal fibers into the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus by a repulsive barrier formed by Sema3A. The same barrier also acts on mossy fibers to allow them to grow only in direction of the CA3-region. Sema3C has repulsive properties on fibers from the medial septum and shapes the ingrowth of these fibers along the cornu ammonis region into the hippocampus. Additionally, the expression patterns of Netrin-1 and DCC and their functional properties in the hippocampus were investigated. Netrin-1 is already expressed in the cortex at E17, although the onset of expression in the hippocampus is at P1. In the dentate gyrus, a weak signal could be detected, but no signal was found in the entorhinal cortex. In the cornu ammonis region, however, Netrin-1 showed a strong expression signal. The Netrin-1 receptor DCC could be detected as early as E15 with a diffuse distribution in the hippocampal Anlage. From P1 on, these signals could be distinguished in the dentate gyrus and the CA1-CA3-regions. Netrin-1 showed attractive properties only on fibers from explants of the dentate gyrus and the CA3region, which form the hippocampal commissure. These results confirm previous findings from Netrin-1 and DCC deficient animals in which the absence of the hippocampal commissure was described.
Is non-P450 enzyme inducing antiepileptic drugs the best ADEs choice for glioblastoma patients?

The seizure prognosis of using P450 enzyme inducing and non-enzyme inducing antiepileptic drugs for seizure prophylaxis after glioma resection surgery has been investigated in several clinical studies. However, the results of these studies are inconsistent. Additional multicenter RCTs are necessary to provide class I evidence on the role of AEDs in the treatment of glioma associated seizure.
Gradient and Huygens’ Metasurface Design and Analysis Based on Transmission Line Theory

In this article, a new transmission-line-based analysis is introduced to design the gradient and Huygens’ metasurfaces. In this method, each unit cell of the gradient and Huygens’ metasurfaces is modeled by a transmission line with a specific characteristic impedance and propagation constant. By using this method, a prototype for each of the gradient and Huygens’ metasurfaces is designed and simulated. Each unit cell in the prototype consists of only one magneto-dielectric slab. Due to the difficulty of realizing the magneto-dielectric materials, a special unit cell structure consisting of three dielectric slabs is introduced. A prototype for each gradient and Huygens’ metasurface is designed and simulated. To verify the designed structure, a Huygens’ metasurface prototype is fabricated using Rogers TMM 13i substrate. The measured results are in good agreement with the theoretical results.
Cold Start Problem of Vehicle Model Recognition under Cross-Scenario Based on Transfer Learning

As a major function of smart transportation in smart cities, vehicle model recognition plays an important role in intelligent transportation. Due to the difference among different vehicle models recognition datasets, the accuracy of network model training in one scene will be greatly reduced in another one. However, if you don’t have a lot of vehicle model datasets for the current scene, you cannot properly train a model. To address this problem, we study the problem of cold start of vehicle model recognition under cross-scenario. Under the condition of small amount of datasets, combined with the method of transfer learning, load the DAN (Deep Adaptation Networks) and JAN (Joint Adaptation Networks) domain adaptation modules into the convolutional neural network AlexNet and ResNet, and get four models: AlexNet-JAN, AlexNet-DAN, ResNet-JAN, and ResNet-DAN which can achieve a higher accuracy at the beginning. Through experiments, transfer the vehicle model recognition from the network image dataset (source domain) to the surveillance-nature dataset (target domain), both Top-1 and Top-5 accuracy have been improved by at least 20%.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte Ratio as a Risk Determinant of Hemorrhage Transformation in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical significance between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and classification of non-thrombolytic hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS), to unravel new diagnostic approach. Methods: We recruited and selected 636 patients who did not undergo thrombolytic therapy between May 2018 and April 2019 at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University. The laboratory and clinical data were collected within 24 h after the onset of AIS. Based on the status of HT development during hospitalization, all participants were divided into three groups, namely, the non-HT (NHT) group, hemorrhagic infarction (HI) group, and parenchymal hematoma (PH) group. Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NLR and the ischemic lesion diameter are independent risk factors of HI and PH, while the score of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and cardioembolism are considered to be independent risk factors for PH only. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis determined that the optimal cutoff values of NLR in HI group and PH group were 3.75 and 3.97, respectively. The optimal cutoff value can be used as the critical value for the unfavorable outcome. Conclusion: NLR values were significantly increased and correlated with both HI and PH groups and NLR could be used as a predictor of both HI and PH.
Avian Foraging Pattern in the Oak Forest of in Central Himalaya: An Ecological Conservation Approach

To understand the foraging pattern of avian community, this study was carried out in 23 oak forest stands of Kumaon region in Central Himalaya. Total 5243 observations were recorded on 64 bird species. 22 species foraged on or near the ground mainly galliformes; Kalij, Koklass, Hill partridge. The tree layers 4-10m and 10m were frequently used by maximum number of bird species while 2-4m tree layer was used by minimum bird species. Within the foraging substrates, foliage was used maximum (36.68%) while ground was used as minimum (7.47%). Among foraging methods, twig glean was used maximum (53%) by birds followed by arboreal granivory (25%), bush glean (21%) and leaf glean (21%) method. Among three dimensions (foraging height, foraging substrate and foraging methods), highest mean niche overlap was found in the foraging height (0.20 ± 0.07) for overall avian community of Kumaon while lowest was in foraging method (0.04 ± 0.02). Of the three dimensions, specialization was more in foraging substrate (48 species) followed by foraging methods (22 species) and foraging height (11 species). Avian species such as Black and Yellow grosbeak, Hill partridge, Koklass emerged as specialists. Specific conservation efforts for protection of habitats should be initiated for the ‘specialists’ birds, as they are very particular for their foraging patterns.
General Impedance Matching via Doped Epsilon-Near-Zero Media

The emerging technique of photonic doping endows epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) media with a broadly tunable effective magnetic permeability. Here, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that a finite-size doped ENZ region counterintuitively behaves as a lumped circuit element, modeled as a controllable series reactance. Based on this concept, a general matching network is constructed to match a load with arbitrary complex impedance, while, interestingly, its operating bandwidth can also be modified by fine-tuning the dopants' properties. To demonstrate the universality of the concept, different kinds of loads are matched, including microwave circuits, antennas, and absorbing particles. Since this general impedance matching technique is not limited to a specific type of load, nor a specific geometry, and can be readily transplanted from microwave to optical regimes, the proposed methodology facilitates impedance matching for maximum usage of power in quite general scenarios, and thus, exhibits promising potential for broad applications.
Les déterminants de la confiance/méfiance du consommateur marocain vis-à-vis du cyber-achat

Cet article propose une etude empirique des determinants de la confiance vs. mefiance des consommateurs marocains a l’egard du cyberachat. Ce secteur peine a se developper au Maroc en raison de plusieurs facteurs, notamment l’absence de competences numeriques, la fiabilite des vendeurs en ligne et la faiblesse d’un cadre legislatif protegeant les interets des consommateurs en ligne. C’est dans ce cadre que se situe ce papier. Un questionnaire a ete administre aupres de 2254 individus localises dans trois villes marocaines differentes. Une analyse factorielle multidimensionnelle a releve l’existence d’une mefiance envers l’achat en ligne chez les marocains due a plusieurs facteurs. De plus, cette etude a permis de classer les individus en trois groupes selon les variables les plus discriminantes : « Les cyberconsommateurs confiants » qui achetent sans reserve, les « cyberconsommateurs mefiants » qui achetent en ligne mais qui pensent etre conscients du danger que represente l’achat virtuel et les « nonconsommateurs » presentant une aversion au commerce electronique. This article proposes an empirical study of the determinants of trust vs. distrust of Moroccan consumers towards e-commerce. This sector is struggling to develop in Morocco due to several factors, including the lack of digital skills, the reliability of online sellers and a weakness of legislative framework protecting the interests of online consumers. It is against this background that our contribution is situated. We opted for an empirical approach by administering a survey to 2254 individuals located in three different Moroccan cities. A multidimensional factorial analysis revealed the existence of a mistrust towards e-commerce among Moroccans due to several factors. In addition, this study allowed us to classify individuals into three groups according to the most discriminating variables: "Confident cyber-consumers", "mistrustful cyber-consumers" and "online non-shoppers" with an aversion to e-commerce.
Linking the Fortunes. Currency and Banking 1550-1800

Introduction In the course of the seventeenth century, Dutch finance became intricately connected to the world economic system. Its development was bolstered by favourable developments in international trade, which allowed the Dutch to exploit their geographic position and their harbours to the full, and by an economic boom which lasted long enough for considerable capital accumulation. The political and social structures were well suited to the preservation of wealth and allowed for high propensities to save. The accumulated funds in The Netherlands are estimated to have grown enormously since approximately 1500, even during the less favourable eighteenth century. Van Zanden calculated for Holland alone a rise in capital wealth from ten to twelve million guilders around 1500 to approximately 1,750 million guilders around 1790 (Van Zanden 1993, p. 23). In the beginning, the swell of capital was mainly diverted to domestic investments and trade. Increasingly, the Dutch funds came to be invested in public loans and foreign assets. The demand by public authorities, in particular for government loans, had increased considerably (cf. previous chapter). But during the eighteenth century, foreign governments came to attract Dutch capital too, specifically for the underwriting of warfare loans. As such, the Amsterdam capital market served to link varied networks of funds and fortunes, both of domestic and of foreign origin. The development was the more remarkable as the Dutch financial institutions did not excel in innovation. On the contrary, the establishment remained basically oriented towards the past. Several Italian cities and also the English state, in the meantime, moved ahead of the Dutch.
Alcea acaulis and A. fasciculiflora, two new records for the flora of Iran

During several field trips to the western parts of Iran and after comparing the collected plants with other species of Alcea, we came across to following two specimens belonging to Malvaceae family which were found new to the flora of Iran from Ilam province. Alcea acaulis is distinguished from the other species in the genus by its very short stem. The second species, A. fasciculiflora, is morphologically similar to A. iranshahrii and A. ghahremanii which is distinguished by its leaf shape, flower color and indumentum features.BothAlcea acaulis and A. fasciculiflora are sparsely to densely covered by two types of glandular and non-glandular trichomes. The glandular trichomes are of clavate type and the non-glandular trichomes are divided into three types: simple, stellate and fascicled. The present paper, therefore, deals with taxonomic descriptions and relationships of the species, important diagnostic traits, micromorphological features of the trichomes, illustrations and the distribution maps of the species in Iran.
The effect of dietary zinc supplementation on the growth, hepatopancreas fatty acid composition and gene expression in the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (H. Milne‐Edwards) (Decapoda: Grapsidae)

In order to determine the minimal dietary zinc (Zn) requirements in the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, we assessed the influence of dietary Zn levels on the weight gain, survival, fatty acid composition, expressions of fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) and metallothionein-1 (MT-1) transcripts at end of an 8-week feeding regime. Supplemental Zn (0, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg kg−1 diet) was administered orally to crabs via the diet. The results indicate that dietary supplementation of 20 mg Zn kg−1 diet yielded the largest weight gain. While the hepatopancreatic concentrations of Zn increased progressively with the supplemental dosage, the hepatopancreas fatty acid composition was variable and dependent on supplementation. As the dietary Zn concentrations increased, 18:0 in crab hepatopancreas exhibited a downward trend, whereas 18:1 n-9, 18:3 n-3, 20:4 n-6 ( arachidonic acid,ARA) and 22:6 n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA) compositions exhibited a bell-curve response. The expressions of FABP and MT-1 transcripts were the highest in crabs receiving 20 or 40 mg Zn kg−1 diet corresponding to quantified levels of 27 or 44 mg Zn kg−1 diet. Taken together, these results suggest that dietary Zn deficiency may influence the synthesis and metabolism of fatty acids in the hepatopancreas of the mitten crab, an important aquaculture species.
Systematic Position of the Tribe Phylloplaypodini,with Remarks on the Definitions of the Families Scolytidae,Platypodidae,Dryophthridae and Curculionidae (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)

Phylloplatypodini was established in Platypodidae at first by Kato (1998) and synonymized with Proecini of Cossoninae by AlonsoZarazaga & Lyal (1999). Upon our detailed examination of adults and larvae, the systematic position of Phylloplatypodini is concluded to have a sister relationship with Cossoninae on the adult characters, and provisinally raised its rank to a sub family, Phylloplatypodinae in Curculionidae. But, the true position is still pending, because the larva has unique head and definitely different from all the known taxa in Curculionoidea in our present knowledge. Family relationships of Scolytidae, Platypodidae, Dryophthoridae and Curculionidae are compared and a key to these families was provided.
Matrix remodeling and mechanotransduction in in vitro chondrogenesis: Implications towards functional stem cell‐based cartilage tissue engineering

Stem cell‐based cartilage regeneration strategies take benefits from functional tissue engineering concepts that effectively exploit cells native mechanotransduction phenomenon for the development of in vitro cartilage constructs. In the present study, stem cell‐seeded constructs were subjected to a dynamic compression of 10% strain, 1 Hz, 4 hours/1 hour each for 7 days. Integrin and Integrin‐associated protein expression was evaluated using real‐time PCR to elucidate the possible mechanotransduction pathway. Matrix remodeling was analyzed by evaluating chondrocyte‐specific extracellular matrix genes as well as by expression of matrix metalloproteinases. The results suggest that dynamic compression significantly influences chondrogenesis by enhancing the expression of chondrocyte‐specific extracellular matrix genes. The results also propose the involvement of Integrin‐mediated signaling pathways in the mechanotransduction events on biomechanical stimuli‐assisted chondrogenesis of stem cells.
European Psychiatric Association policy paper on ethical aspects in communication with patients and their families

Abstract Background. Establishing a valid communication is not only a basic clinical need to be met but also a relevant ethical commitment. Methods. On the basis of the relevant literature, ethical issues arising from specific, important situations in clinical practice were identified. Results. The main ethical problems regarding communication about the disorder, both in general and in relation to prodromal stages, were described and discussed together with those regarding communication about voluntary and involuntary treatments, “dual roles” enacted in clinical practice, genetic counseling, and end-of-life conditions; on the basis of what emerged, ethically driven indications and suggestions were provided. Conclusions. Several situations put the psychiatrist in front of relevant dilemmas and doubts which are no easy to face with; an ethically driven approach based upon the principle of the best interest of patients may support clinicians in their decisions.
DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF A MOLECULAR TOOL TO STUDY OF N-TERMINAL NICOTINAMIDE MONONUCLEOTIDE ADENYLYL TRANSFERASE (NMNAT) IN Leishmania braziliensis

Leishmania braziliensis es un parásito protozoario causante de la mayor parte de casos de leishmaniasis cutánea en al menos quince países del continente americano. La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) ha reportado que cerca de doce millones de personas están infectadas en el mundo y que este número aumenta cada año. Debido al delicado problema de salud pública derivado de la prevalencia de esta enfermedad se hace necesario el estudio del metabolismo de este parásito. En tal sentido se ha estudiado la proteína NMNAT de este parásito, la cual es una enzima central del metabolismo de todos los organismos al estar encargada de la síntesis del NAD+, un importante cofactor en reacciones redox de procesos centrales del metabolismo celular. En la NMNAT de L. braziliensis se ha encontrado una secuencia de 44 aminoácidos en el extremo N-terminal carente de homología con la proteína del hospedero. En este estudio se produjeron anticuerpos IgG específicos contra esta secuencia, utilizando como antígenos péptidos que contuvieran la secuencia mencionada. Los anticuerpos obtenidos mostraron un reconocimiento de la NMNAT recombinante de L. braziliensis mediante ensayo por western blot.
