POTENTIAL CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION THROUGH CARBON STOCK ACCUMULATION BY MELALEUCA CAJUPUTI POWELL (GELAM)

Melaleuca cajuputi Powell or Gelam (in Malay) is an abundant tree species on the coastal plain of the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, dominantly in Terengganu. However, Gelam forest which occurs pocketed in parallel to the coast, is being considered as an unproductive forest, wasted land and increasingly being reclaimed for other land uses. Gelam trees also dominated Melaleuca swamp, one of the rare freshwater wetland due to its seasonality. Despite being seen as economically unimportant and receives little scientific attention, Gelam forest plays significant role in providing ecosystem services to coastal and inland community, namely in coastal protection and stabilization, supporting adapted biodiversity of plant and animal species, mitigating flood and accumulating above and below ground carbon stock. This paper reported the potential role of Gelam trees in climate change mitigation through carbon stock accumulation in their standing biomass in order to reinforce one of the many Melaleuca forest ecosystem services which is maintaining carbon stock in its biomass. This naturally available carbon stock could be used to sustainably manage Melaleuca forest as one of the efforts of Terengganu State to address climate change issues at local level. However, until present there is no quantitative study conducted to measure accumulated carbon stock in Melaleuca forest. Carbon stock of Gelam was calculated in the above ground biomass (ABG) using diameter at the breast height (DBH) as the main parameter in biomass allometric regression.Diameter was measured on Gelam trees grow on two contrasting microhabitats, depression (waterlogged) and ridge (dry) sites on beach ridge ecosystem of Terengganu. In total, 351 Gelam trees (196 in depression and 155 in ridge site) were measured their DBH and calculated the carbon stock based on the above ground biomass. In average, Gelam trees accumulated an estimated biomass of 7.22 and 4.10 Mg/ha, in depression and ridge sites, respectively. The amount of carbon stock in M. cajuputi is about half of these biomass value which is very much lower than typical lowland forest and other tree species. However, this study confirms the above ground biomass of M. cajuputi trees in similar diameter class is higher in depression (waterlogged) than ridge site. Thus, it is recommended that this species could better be conserved by conserving the Melaleuca swamp (waterlogged condition). Although M. cajuputi forest has low above ground carbon stock, its habitat of Melaleuca swamp or wetland should also be conserved for other vital ecosystem services.
Study of D-Dimer Levels in HIV Treatment-Naïve and Treatment Experienced Patients in Port- Harcourt, Nigeria

Background: Reports suggest that HIV-infected patients have elevated D-dimer levels that may be related to chronic inflammation and coagulation abnormalities. Levels of D-dimer have also been reported to be higher in HIV treatmentnaïve patients compared to treatmentexperienced patients. Methods: Eighty (80) subjects attending HIV clinic at the University of Port-Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, Rivers state who satisfied the inclusion criteria were enrolled into the study. A commercial assay kit; ELISA Kit for D-Dimer (D2D) (manufactured by Uscn Life Science Incorporated R USA) was used with a TC96+ ELISA microplate reader (manufactured by Ceco diagnostic R USA) to determine the D-dimer level. CD4 + T-cell count was evaluated using the Partec Cyflow counter-1, a single-platform, three-parameter (SSC plus two-colour fluorescence) desktop volumetric flow cytometer (manufactured by Sysmex Partec R Germany). Full blood count was carried out on the EDTA anticoagulated sample using the Horiba Abx Micros 60 Haematology Analyser (manufactured by Horiba instruments incorporated R USA). Results: The D-dimer level was found to be lower in HAARTexperienced subjects (288.35 ± 129.12 ng/ml) than HAART-naïve subjects (389.85 ± 217.61ng/ml.) (P= 0.013). There was no increase in haematocrit, while the mean WBC count showed increase in the HAART-experienced compared to HAART-naïve subjects. Platelet counts were also increased in the HAARTexperienced subjects in comparison to HAART-naïve subjects. Conclusion: This study suggests that D-dimer levels are higher in HIV treatment-naïve patients compared to treatmentexperienced patients.
Identification, phylogenetic analysis, and expression patterns of the SAUR gene family in loquat (Eriobotrya japonica)

Small auxin-up RNAs (SAURs) are the most frequent and primary auxin responsive genes, and they are commonly used as early auxin-responsive markers. Until now, no SAUR gene has been identified in Eriobotrya plants. In this study, we used Arabidopsis SAUR sequences as a query to search against the loquat genome sequence. In total, we obtained 57 SAUR genes in loquat, hereafter referred to as Eriobotrya japonica SAUR(EjSAUR) genes, which ranged from 267 to 735 bp in the coding sequence with predicted proteins of 88? 244 aa. A total of 47 EjSAURgenes were distributed on 11 chromosomes of the loquat genome. Based on their physical positions, 80.9% (38 of 47) of the EjSAURgenes were clustered together on the loquat chromosomes, suggesting that tandem duplicate genes might be the major mechanism for the expansion of this family. The expression analysis displayed high expression divergence among the different organs, which suggested that EjSAUR genes may play an important role in different organs. These results laid a foundation for the functional validation of EjSAURgenes in Eriobotrya plants.
Enabling IT Professionals to Cope with Technological Change through Skill‐based Coaching

The constant advancement in technology poses unprecedented complexity and challenges to companies. Information technology (IT) is at the forefront of this trend. Skills to assess and embrace modern IT are becoming a major factor for innovation and success. IT professionals have to stay either up to date or fail. All professionals working in the IT field are affected by this trend, from the software engineer implementing a new solution to the head of the IT depart‐ ment (Chief Information Officer, CIO). The purpose of this article is to concep‐ tualize skill‐based coaching as a new approach for helping IT professionals cope with today’s challenges. We conduct two in‐depth case studies. In the first case, an agile software development project at a food industry company is in‐ vestigated. In the second case, a structured teaching and coaching program of‐ fered by an university is analyzed. The coaching cube is used to compare both cases. Through measuring a significant increase in skills the suitability of the concept is shown. Based on the results of the case studies, skill‐based coaching is conceptually described and explained. Results show that skill‐based coaching is a feasible approach to empower IT professionals and enable them to work with modern and future technologies.
Weighted Effects of Bromocriptine Treatment on Glucose Homeostasis during Hyperglycemic versus Euglycemic Clamp Conditions in Insulin Resistant Hamsters: Bromocriptine

Background: Postprandial glucose metabolism is deranged in insulin resistant states typified by increased hepatic glucose output and reduced peripheral and hepatic glucose deposition despite elevated plasma insulin levels. And, mounting evidence suggests that postprandial hyperglycemia may potentiate cardiovascular disease. Time-of-day pulsed bromocriptine (a dopamine D2 receptor agonist) administration to insulin resistant animals and humans improves impaired glucose tolerance and post-meal hyperglycemia without raising the plasma insulin level when assayed many hours after bromocriptine has been removed from the circulation. The bromocriptine response of glucose lowering is more prominent after a meal than just before the meal suggesting a “weighted” effect on postprandial glucose metabolism. However, this supposition has never been evaluated under controlled physiological glucose-insulin clamp conditions to verify the existence of such a unique phenomenon. Findings: This study therefore investigated the effects of daily bromocriptine or vehicle administration for 2 weeks on hepatic glucose output and total body glucose disposal during such hyperglycemic versus euglycemic insulin clamp conditions in insulin resistant, glucose intolerant Syrian hamsters. Bromocriptine treatment improved fasting insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR) by 38% P < 0.04 and both total body glucose disposal and hepatic glucose output during the euglycemic clamp by 21% and 26%, P < 0.03 respectively, relative to vehicle treated animals. Importantly, the incremental increase in total body glucose disposal and inhibition in hepatic glucose output under hyperglycemic versus euglycemic conditions was greater (73% vs. 40%, P < 0.001) and markedly stronger (30% vs. no change, P < 0.002), respectively, in bromocriptine versus vehicle treated animals, respectively. Conclusions: These findings indicate a unique hyperglycemic environment “weighted” effect of bromocriptine on improving glucose homeostasis in insulin resistant animals that is independent of plasma insulin level.

Student-Centered Leadership and Teachers’ Competency in Integrating Frog VLE in Teaching and Learning

This study aims at examining the relationship between student-centred leadership and teachers’ competency in using Frog VLE in Pudu Zone primary schools in Kuala Lumpur. This is a nonexperimental quantitative research using survey technique through the administration of a set of questionnaires on teachers’ demographic variables, studentcentred leadership and teachers’ competency in using Frog VLE. Some 152 returned questionnaires have been analyzed. The findings showed that teachers in Pudu Zone primary schools perceived that their principals have a high level of studentcentred leadership however they rated themselves as having a medium level of ICT competency. Furthermore, data indicated a statistically significant positive but very weak correlation between student-centred leadership practices and teachers’ competency. In addition, the independent t-test analysis showed that there are significant differences between student-centred leadership in terms of gender but no significance differences between teachers’ competency in terms of gender. This study will benefit most towards the policymakers in the Ministry of Education, the headmasters in school and the teachers. Keywords—student-centered leadership; teachers’ competency; frog VLE; primary school
Recreational Sport & Cultural Tourism

Certain acceleration in society can be clearly seen in the work as well as in the leisure sector. Among other things, working hours are becoming more flexible and the pressure and burden of work is increasing. Also, a growing desire for pleasure and quality of life, as well as well-being and relaxation are part of the change in values (Zarotis et al., 2007). The aim of this study is to examine the foundations and prerequisites for the development of modern leisure, sport and cultural tourism. The method used in this study was a review of the relevant literature. By analysing various research results we discovered that people in today's society with increasing pressure and stress levels must and should find a way to protect their bodies from these influences. Wellness and sports offers, especially on holiday, are a good and fast way to regeneration. Many people are aware of the need to take care of their health, especially on holiday. The search for deceleration in an increasingly fast-moving society will be a central pillar. Peace and balance will be major focal points of leisure time, which is why particularly quiet and endogenous sports will continue to gain in importance. It has been shown also that there are elements in sport that can turn a sporting attraction into a tourist attraction. From this it can be concluded that people are looking for experiences through sport with a high emotional but also cultural potential. In this study it was found that sports tourism and culture-sensitive travelling can go hand in hand. They offer the opportunity for intercultural encounters, international understanding and a sensitisation of one's own awareness of foreign value and norm systems. In order to remain competitive in the face of increasing competitive pressure in the tourism sector and the widespread distribution of tourist offers, it is necessary to further develop products innovatively. Tourist offers must be made more attractive, so that they can offer the customer additional benefits and thus stimulate demand. Special attention must be paid to customer needs and developing trends. A characteristic feature of modern society is the increasing focus on experience. As a result, experiences often become the core objective of product design. Emotional-psychological considerations show that although experiences cannot be produced by providers, providers can try to create favourable external conditions in a specific setting that make experiences possible. If it is possible to generate additional customer benefit through the targeted staging of experiences, this would be a decisive competitive advantage (Zarotis, 2019).
Effect of Food Grade Trisodium Phosphate or Water Dip Treatments on Some Quality Attributes of Decapitated White Marine Shrimp (Penaeus spp.) During Frozen Storage

In recent years, natural phosphates have been successfully used in food processing. They are multi-purpose, generally recognized as safe (GRAS), and legally permitted additives to improve the quality of many foods. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess effects of food grade trisodium phosphate (TSP), or water dip (control) treatments on the chemical, physical, sensorial,and microbiological quality attributes of decapitated white marine shrimp (Penaeus spp.) during frozen storage at -20°C up to six months. Results indicated that control shrimp samples have been shown to lose flavor and texture, and show a gradual deterioration in quality attributes with frozen storage. The rates (p < 0.05) of these deteriorations are increased as the time of frozen storage progressed. On the other hand, phosphate (TSP) treated shrimp samples exhibit higher (p < 0.05) moisture retention, protein content, protein solubility, WHC, tenderness, bound water, and cooking yield at any given time of frozen storage as compared with control samples.The present data also demonstrate lower values (p < 0.05) of drip loss, TVBN, TMAN, TBARS, NPN, total plate counts (TPC) and psychrotrophic bacterial counts (PBS) are recorded in phosphate treated samples. Hunter L* and b* values of white marine shrimp samples were increased (p < 0.05), while Hunter a* value of all samples gradually decreased during the storage. However, TSP treated shrimp were more redness, less lightness and yellowness than the control group.Panellist’s evaluation indicated preference for TSP-treated shrimp when compared with control samples. Results indicated that economic, chemical, physical, sensorial and microbiological quality advantages have been resulted from soaking white marine shrimp in cold 5% trisodium phosphate (Na3PO4) solution for 10 minutes prior to freezing and frozen storage.TSP dip treatment can be an alternative way to improve the quality of decapitated white marine shrimp during frozen storage.
The role of dairy ingredients in enhancing immunity

Milk contains bioactive molecules that have the potential to either increase or decrease aspects of humoral and cellular immunity. However, most research on immune-modulation by milk ingredients has been conducted on ex vivo cells and tissues. It is likely that only a few ingredients that show potential in ex vivo assays will show efficacy in intact animals and be suitable to be incorporated into products. However, it is encouraging that in animal models some of these molecules are effective in combating infections, cancers and immune pathologies. Modulating the immune system is potentially dangerous and safety of modified foods or their ingredients must not be ignored, especially if a food is fortified with a single protein that has been shown to have quasi pharmaceutical properties. There are many situations where immune health is threatened; sometimes it is a corollary of accompanying diseases, sometimes it is the consequence of life's choices. Consumers may take them to reduce their risk of contracting infections, lessen symptoms, or as supplements to improve therapy of established treatments, especially those for chronic conditions. These scenarios present different challenges to prove efficacy. However, there is a niche for dairy products that can provide passive protection. These products may be restricted in target but are easier to produce and to apply quality control procedures. Regulations pertaining to food labelling, safety and health claims are changing and becoming ever more demanding. Misleading information will be scrutinised. Therefore, to satisfy anticipated regulations, future research should focus on defining the abilities of ingredients to affect the health and wellness of consumers.
Mobile Based Drowsiness Detection System

Drowsiness is called as the state between when a person is awake and sleep. The Drowsiness condition is the reason of so many accidents which are happening on the roads. When the driver is in the drowsiness condition his/her reaction time is always a slower his/her attentiveness is almost reduced and his/her brain is not functioning properly. The purpose of such a system is to perform detection of driver’s eye when the driver is fatigue. By placing the camera inside the car, we can monitor the face of the driver and look for the eye-movements which indicate that the driver is no longer in condition to drive. In this paper, we propose a driver drowsiness detection system in which Android application continuelously monitors the eye of a driver through the inbuilt camera. If the driver is found to have sleep, the inbuilt alarm will start buzzing and it will also send the message to owner of the car letting him/her know that the driver is in the sleeping mode and then turns the vehicle ignition off ultimately stopping the car .
Impact of Communication Climate on Nurse’s Organizational Career Growth and Empowerment

Communication climate influences quality of work environment as it contributes to the effectiveness and success of an organization. Organizations with positive communication climate have good employee relationships that in turn improve staff empowerment and career growth. Aim: The current study aims to determine the impact of communication climate on nurses’ organizational career growth and empowerment. Research design: Quasi-experimental research design has been carried out. Setting: The study conducted in (General medical and surgical departments) at Qena and Sohag University Hospitals. Sample: All available nurses working in the designated sites 98. Tools: three tools were used, communication climate questionnaire, organizational career growth scale, and conditions of work effectiveness questionnaire II. Results: The present study findings that there were highly statistical significance differences of communication climate, organizational career growth, and structural empowerment between the two hospitals X 2 = 16.843, 18.18 and 30.247 respectively & P<0.01. Regarding means and standard deviations it was 54.20±9.35 & 41.39±13.47 for communication climate, 47.02±8.60 & 37.69±10.05 for organizational career growth, and 55.20±9.39 & 41.04±11.60 for structural empowerment at Qena and Sohag University Hospitals respectively. Conclusion: The improvement in the communication climate results in higher levels of organizational career growth and structural empowerment. Recommendations: Management should develop and maintain communication climate that enables free expression of ideas and exchange of opinions among staff. Managers should encourage nurses’ empowerment for effective organizational performance. Nurses’ organizational career growth and continuing education are important for improving staff performance and skills.
