Regulating the Fast-Food Landscape: Canadian News Media Representation of the Healthy Menu Choices Act

With the rapid rise of fast food consumption in Canada, Ontario was the first province to legislate menu labelling requirements via the enactment of the Healthy Menu Choice Act (HMCA). As the news media plays a significant role in policy debates and the agenda for policymakers and the public, the purpose of this mixed-methods study was to clarify the manner in which the news media portrayed the strengths and critiques of the Act, and its impact on members of the community, including consumers and stakeholders. Drawing on data from Canadian regional and national news outlets, the major findings highlight that, although the media reported that the HMCA was a positive step forward, this was tempered by critiques concerning the ineffectiveness of using caloric labelling as the sole measure of health, and its predicted low impact on changing consumption patterns on its own. Furthermore, the news media were found to focus accountability for healthier eating choices largely on the individual, with very little consideration of the role of the food industry or the social and structural determinants that affect food choice. A strong conflation of health, weight and calories was apparent, with little acknowledgement of the implications of menu choice for chronic illness. The analysis demonstrates that the complex factors associated with food choice were largely unrecognized by the media, including the limited extent to which social, cultural, political and corporate determinants of unhealthy choices were taken into account as the legislation was developed. Greater recognition of these factors by the media concerning the HMCA may evoke more meaningful and long-term change for health and food choices.

Factors Affecting Organizational Commitment Of Teachers In Government And Private Universities

Organizational Commitment can be defined as the extent of involvement of an employee in the organization with the desire to work, an obligation of working and having no intent to leave. A high level of organizational commitment can lead to improvement in the performance and efficiency of an employee in accomplishing the tasks and goals of the organization. Though OC of an employee can be seen in various fields but as the aim of the study is to compare the factors that affect the OC of teachers in case of public and private universities of the Lucknow city. Research papers used for the review is both empirical and theoretical in nature. Though overall commitment of private universities is more than the public university because of a better opportunity of growth, promotion, quality of work-life and healthy working conditions. However, this study is focused on deriving the impact of each factor and finally determining the impact on the public a private university. But still, there is a scope of analyzing the performance altogether. Apart from this mediating and moderating test is conducted to derive the factors which influence the relationship between OC and organization performance along with determining the strength and magnitude of the effect. There are certain factors that could have been included in the study i.e. like personality traits of an employee, and school principals but still the analysis shows that private universities provide more opportunity of raising teacher’s commitment in comparison to public universities.
Water sorption of light–cured composites

The aim of the present research was to study the percentage water sorption and solubility of Esthet composite resin based on an ethoxylated bisphenol A glycol dimethacrylate (Bis–EMA) and Heliomolar composite resin based on bisphenol A glycol dimethacrylate (Bis–GMA). Six specimens were prepared for each material using aluminum disc 15 mm in diameter and 1 mm in thickness between two glass slides; then they were light cured for 80 seconds on each side. Percentage water sorption and solubility were measured after one week and one month. The results showed that water sorption after 1 week for Esthet composite and Heliomolar composite were 0.433 and 1.12, respectively and solubility were 0.074 and 1.066, respectively; while water sorption after 1 month were 0.517 and 2.57, respectively and solubility were 0.176 and 2.689, respectively. It could be concluded that the percentage sorption and solubility of composite based on Bis–EMA were significantly lower than that based on Bis–GMA.

Technological and non-technological M&A: the effect on innovation and financial performance in the pharmaceutical industry

Large firms in the pharmaceutical industry are forced to adjust strategies in order to maintain firm value as a result of ‘productivity gaps’ and ‘patent cliffs’. We inquire whether different types of M&A’s benefit the largest pharma firms in terms of innovation performance and financial performance. More specifically, we divided M&A deals into technological and non-technological M&A deals. Surprisingly, we find that M&A’s with acquiring external sources of knowledge as acquisition motive are not able to increase the number of developed drugs, despite an increase in innovation expenditures. In line with our hypotheses, we find weak support that technological M&A deals have a negative effect on short-term financial performance and that non-technological M&A’s will benefit the financial performance of large pharma firms in the short-term. Furthermore, we find no support that either technological or non-technological M&A’s will benefit the financial performance of firms in the long-term. These results implicate that large pharma firms will not uniformly overcome the difficulties in the pharmaceutical industry by engaging in the analyzed types of M&A’s.
Psychological Predictors of Self-Efficacy in Scientific Field of a Specialist-Defectologist

In recent years, the works devoted to the mechanisms and specific features of scientific activity has described either the requirements for the personality of a scientist or the characteristics of the scientific activity itself and its’ considerable result, but the specific individual psychological characteristics that ensure the successful performance of scientific activity have never been determined. In order to “make” this sphere achievable and accessible, we proposed to study the first substantive steps in a research career, starting with the first university courses and up to the stage of the most successful students-researchers who entered post-graduate studies, defended their PhD theses and became professional scientists. This approach allows us to trace the stages of professional development of the scientist's personality on the way to the scientific result and to consider his/her individual psychological indicators as "internal reserves" which considered to be the basis for the self-efficacy of scientific activity. In our study we based on the theoretical and methodological Russian psychology approaches of such authors as: Klimov (1996), Peisahov (1991), Ponomarev (1960), Rubinstein (2002), and there were four stages of research activity development identified: the stage of selection, the stage of adaptation, the stage of internality, the stage of mastery.

In the future, S. hominis will be probiotic bacteria that can be applied as functional food.
The Effect of Al Fatihah Reflective Intuitive Reading to Decrease Stress and Increase Immunity

Each stressor is interpreted differently by each individual. This depends on the point of view of individual meaning anchor. Adolescence is a developmental level which is characterized bylooking for the identity phase. It makes an adolescent has a weak anchor. In positioning the anchor, perception plays an important role. Perceptions of anchor depends on the level of understanding of the individual. Stressors that come would affect the level of stress and immunity. Literature study showed the usage of the Quran as a mediator to reduce stress and increase immunity was still infrequent. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Al Fatihah reflective intuitive to stress and immunity level. The study had been conducted through an experimental method with pretest-posttest control group design. A total of 10 boardingschool students become experimental group subjects and 10 other students become control group subjects. Stress was measured using Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) and immunity was measured using a microscopic slide method through hematology analyzer. Quantitative analysis was done through a mixed design ANOVA statistical test. Qualitative analysis was added through descriptive narrative qualitative analysis. The results showed that “Al Fatihah reflective-intuitive reading” training could reduce stress (f = 5.609, p = 0.029) and increase immunity (f = 25.6, p = 0.000). This study also showed that Al Fatihah reflective-intuitive reading could provide peace and reminded of the existence of God in the life.
Acute evaluation of static and dynamic stability of the lumbopelvic region after paravertebral stretching

Introduction and objectives. Since the paravertebral muscles promote dynamic stability to protect the spine, the aim of this study was to verify the association between the acute effect of the stretching support time for the multifidus muscle, and changes in the static and dynamic stability of the lumbopelvic region. Materials and method. A total of 46 volunteers were cross-submitted to three different stretching interventions for the multifidus muscle, being the manutention of stretching time the variation between interventions: 10, 30 and 60 seconds. Each volunteer was submitted to the three interventions with a minimum interval of 7 days and a maximum of 10 days. The order of the interventions was determined by lot. First, pre-intervention values for static and dynamic stability were collected using a biofeedback pressure unit.

In conclusion, there was no significant association between stretching time of the paravertebral muscles and static and dynamic stability.
Terapia inmunológica en asma

The goals of pharmacological treatment of asthma is to achieve clinical control and prevent exacerbations with the minimal adverse effects. Pharmacologic therapies are categorized in two general classes: long-term and quick-relief medications. Local or systemic corticosteroids blockade the late phase reaction of the immunological inflammatory response and reduce airway hyperresponsiveness. This reaction can also be diminished by allergen specific immunotherapy, this treatment also create immunological tolerance for the allergen and prevents new sensitizations. Immunosuppressants and immunomodulators such as methotrexate can be used as part of therapy in patients who does not respond to the recommended treatment, these medications should be used only selected patients under the supervision of an asthma specialist, as their potential beneficial effect may not outweigh the risk of serious side effects. Biomolecular therapy medications, such as etanercept, are not recommended, more studies are required. The anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, omalizumab, is recommended in adults and children over 12, who have allergy as an important cause of their asthma. In reference to childhood immunizations, there is no evidence of influence on the incidence of asthma, possible beneficial effect on asthma exacerbations with antiinfluenzae vaccine. Finally we ll see some interesting points about pharmacogenetics.
Nutritive evaluation of some range plants species in the Western Mediterranean desert of Egypt

The present study assesses the nutritive evaluation of some range plants species in the Western Mediterranean desert of Egypt to evaluate their usage as forage for domestic animals (mainly sheep and goats). Analysis of the plant organs which represent the diet selected by the herbivores indicated that their mean protein content is about 1.1 %. This is lower than the proper level, but it is ranked as acceptable protein content. The crude protein intake was about 46.4 g 100 kg live weight day, which is inadequate for the protein needs of grazing animals . The amount of total digestible nutrients (TDN) was lower than the standard requirements of the sheep. The shortfall in forage nutrition may be attributed to the high stocking rate (animal density area). If the stocking rate is about seven times lower than the present value, most of the requirements of energy and protein could be fulfilled in the range. The ratio of Ca: P was higher than the optimum, which may lead to lower utilization of both Ca and P by animals.
Linking Climate, Basin Morphology and Vegetation Characteristics to Fu’s Parameter in Data Poor Conditions

The prediction of long term water balance components is not a trivial issue, even when empirical Budyko’s type approaches are used, because parameter estimation is often hampered by missing or poor hydrological data. In order to overcome this issue, we provided regression equations that link climate, morphological, and vegetation parameters to Fu’s parameter. Climate is here defined as a specific seasonal pattern of potential evapotranspiration and rain: five climatic scenarios have been considered to mimic different conditions worldwide. A weather generator has been used to create stochastic time series for the related climatic scenario, which in turn has been used as an input to a conceptual hydrological model to obtain long-term water balance components with low computational effort, while preserving fundamental process descriptions. The morphology and vegetation’s role in determining water partitioning process has been epitomized in four parameters of the conceptual model. Numerical simulations explored a large set of basins in the five climates. Results show that climate superimposes partitioning rules for a given basin; morphological and vegetation watershed properties, as conceptualized by model parameters, determine the Fu’s parameter within a given climate. A sensitive analysis confirmed that vegetation has the most influencing role in determining water partitioning rules, followed by soil permeability. Finally, linear regressions relating basin characteristics to Fu’s parameter have been obtained in the five climates and tested in a basin for each case, obtaining encouraging results. The small amount of data required and the very low computational effort of the method make this approach ideal for practitioners and hydrologists involved in annual runoff assessment.
Formation of the national economy of Russia in the context of state support of innovation actions

The current situation in the area of innovative development of the Russian economy is in bad condition and reveals pronounced tendencies for aggravation, especially in the areas of critical high production technologies. This creates strong social threats to national security. One of the main forming causes of the innovation crisis is the low management quality, including state regulation, which is done empirically. The existing regulatory framework is represented by unsystematic conglomerate of federal laws, decrees of the President of the Russian Federation and regulations of various levels. It does not contribute to the accelerated development of productive innovation activity. It seems necessary to synthesize a scientifically based mechanism for innovation implementation and legal regulations for its functioning.
Transpiration Intensity in Cereal Crops under the Conditions of Osmotic Stress

The study of leaf gas exchange among medium and highly drought tolerant spring varieties of Tríticum aestívum during moderate osmotic stress modeling showed a significant difference in the dynamics of transpiration intensity (E) at the initial stage of the experiment. The monotonic dynamics of E decrease correlated with the change in stomatal conductance of water (gw) and CO2 assimilation rate decrease (A) in a highly drought tolerant variety, which is explained by stomata closure. The dynamics of E among the varieties resistant to drought had the form of a complex curve with an extremum during the first 12 minutes of the experiment, which is explained by the gas embolism of xylem vessels. Embolization of a part of xylem vessels has led to the imbalance in gas exchange rates. 75% decrease of E during the experiment did not coincide with the change of gw, which decreased only by 50%. In addition, under conditions of E decrease, a significant decrease of A was not observed. Transpiration decrease during osmotic stress due to stomata closure led to 28% drop of A, and comparable decrease in transpiration due to xylem vascular embolism reduced A by 6%. It has been shown that the tendency to xylem vascular embolization in the mediumdrought-tolerant variety of spring wheat Tríticum aestívum under the conditions of moderate water deficiency makes it possible to maintain a high level of CO2 assimilation rate, which is comparable with a highly resistant variety that can ultimately lead to a higher yield.
THERMOGRAPHIC EVALUATION FOR THE DIVERSE STAGE OF ANXIETY ON FACE TEMPERATURE AT FRONTAL AND TEMPORAL USING THERMAL IMAGING

that it is able to provide accurate results about the temperature picture. The purpose of this study was to examine if there were differences in anxiety conditions at facial temperatures measured using thermal imaging. Methodology: Eighty-one participants were taking the pre-clinical exams was chosen as the inclusion criteria and were divided into four categories of anxiety range (not anxious, mild anxiety, moderate anxiety, and severe anxiety) based on their score measured that using the General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) as the instrument. The participants were measured their face temperature using thermal imaging on the upper forehead (frontal) and left-right forehead (temporal). Data was analyzed to show the characteristic of anxiety level on the frontal and temporal temperature. There were difference anxiety conditions (no anxious, mildly anxious, moderate anxious and severe anxious) to thermal imaging face temperatures in the frontal and temporal. Main findings: The results showed that more increased the temporal and frontal of face temperature, more severe the anxiety. There is a significant negative relationship between face temperature and anxiety level (p <0.05). Implications: These findings showed that anxiety can be fast screening with a thermal imaging image. Further research is needed to determine the specificity and sensitivity of thermal imaging as an anxiety detection tool with a short time and without invasive action as one of the technological advances. Novelty: There are no studies that discussed the correlation between anxiety with face temperature using thermal imaging.
Special issue in honour of Prof. Reto J. Strasser - Chlorophyll fluorescence, leaf gas exchange, and genomic analysis of chromosome segment substitution rice lines exposed to drought stress

This research aims to evaluate the photosynthesis-related parameters in rice chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSL), containing drought-tolerant region from DH212 in a Khao Dawk Mali105 genetic background. Screening at seedling stage indicated that CSSL4 was more tolerant to drought stress than KDML105 with the higher maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry. After withholding water, the decline in light-saturated net photosynthetic rate due to drought stress occurred simultaneously with the decrease in electron transport rate and effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry values, suggesting that stomatal changes affect light-saturated net photosynthetic rate (PNmax) during the initial drought response. KDML105 rice showed the highest level of electron transport rate/PNmax ratio. This suggested that KDML105 has the lowest ability to use reducing power in photosynthesis process under drought stress conditions. Loci containing single nucleotide polymorphisms between CSSL4 and KDML105 were subjected for co-expression network analysis with 0.99 correlation. The co-expression between calmodulin-stimulated calcium-ATPase and C2H2 zinc finger protein was detected. This locus may contribute to the maintenance ability of photosynthesis process under drought stress conditions.
