Gross anatomy and ultrasonography of the udder in goat

Introduction: The udder is a very important structural and physiological component in all dairy animals, so the precise knowledge of its normal gross morphology is fundamental for the clinical examination. Objective: The current study aimed to clarify the gross anatomical characteristics and ultrasonographic findings of the udder in Egyptian native breeds of goat (Baladi goat). Materials and Methods: Thirteen healthy Baladi goats during lactation period were grossly investigated and then they were examined through B-mode ultrasonography. Two specimens were used for corrosion casting and the remaining specimens were subjected to the anatomical dissection. Results: The gross anatomical investigation revealed that the udder of goat was consisted of two halves; each one had mammary body and teat, and it was suspended in the ventral abdominal wall and pelvic floor through the medial and lateral suspensory laminae. Moreover, each half was composed of a single mammary unit which included the mammary glandular parenchyma, lactiferous ducts, lactiferous sinus and teat canal ended by a teat orifice. These mammary structures showed variant echogenicity during ultrasonographic examination according to their reflective intensity to the ultrasound. Conclusion: The morphological features and ultrasonographic findings obtained in this study could assist in the further diagnosis of several pathological conditions of the udder of goat.
Examining the Mediating Influence of Interlocking Board Networks on Grant Making in Public Foundations

Do interlocking boards provide advantage in the grants marketplace? Drawing upon board data from nine public grant-making organizations in two metropolitan areas and their grant recipients, we test the mediating and moderating relationships between interlocking boards, organizational size, and the size of the grants received. We find that organizational size is not a predictor of grant allocations independent of network characteristics. Larger organizations have larger and better-connected boards, which is associated with larger grants.
A Tool for the Treatment of Gastrointestinal Tumors: Micro- Ecological Immunotherapy

to Abstract: It has been proposed that the intestinal Changes in the microbiota can cause dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby promoting carcinogenic changes, leading to the occurrence of gastrointestinal tumors. Recent studies on intestinal microbiota have opened up a new area in intestinal micro-ecological immunotherapy. The intestinal microbiota is a double-edged sword. Gut microbes participate in carcinogenesis, but can also be used for immunotherapy. The intestinal microbiota is also regulated by the daily diet. Intestinal micro-ecological immunotherapy combines intestinal immune nutrition and intestinal ecological nutrition to make full use of the intestinal microbiota to strengthen nutritional support. Micro-ecological immunotherapy enhances the body’s immune function by providing energy, improving the functional state of tissues and organs, protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier and maintaining normal intestinal microbiota balance. This involves, to some extent, PD-1 and PD-L1. The microbiota is beneficial to improve the clinical efficacy of conventional anti-cancer therapy and to reduce the incidence of complications. At the same time, micro-ecological immunotherapy is itself active and effective in the perioperative treatment of tumors, which is of great significance for the prognosis of the patient. Gastrointestinal tumors are increasingly linked to intestinal microbiota, and various microbiota-related technologies and drugs have been developed. In the future, the intestinal microbiota may represent a screening marker for gastrointestinal tumors. In addition, clinicians may be able to prevent and treat cancers by changing the gene expression levels of certain microbiota, or by regulating the types of microbes present.
A Multi-Cell 21-Level Hybrid Multilevel Inverter Synthesizes a Reduced Number of Components With Voltage Boosting Property

A multi-cell hybrid 21-Level multilevel inverter is proposed in this paper. The proposed topology includes two-unit; an H-bridge is cascaded with a modified K-type unit to generate an output voltage waveform with 21 levels based only on two unequal DC suppliers. The proposed topology’s advantage lies in the fine and clear output voltage waveforms with high output efficiency. Meanwhile, the high number of output voltage waveform levels generates a low level of distortion and reduces the level of an electromagnetic interface (EMI). Moreover, it reduces the voltage stress on the switching devices and gives it a long lifetime. Also, the reduction in the number of components has a noticeable role in saving size and cost. Regarding the capacitors charging, the proposed topology presents an online method for charging and balancing the capacitor’s voltage without any auxiliary circuits. The proposed topology can upgrade to a high number of output steps through the cascading connection. Undoubtedly this cascading will increase the power level to medium and high levels and reduce the harmonics content to a neglectable rate. The proposed system has been tested through the simulation results, and an experimental prototype based on the controller dSPACE (DS-1103) hardware unit used to support the simulation results.

Nurses should also improve their knowledge and skills of end-of-life communication and pain management for the patients’ quality of life.
Understanding Purchasing Behaviors for Online Grey Privacy Products -The Moderating Effect of Grey Product Knowledge

Some products are subconsciously thought to be seldom purchased online, but in fact search online this paper have found a large number of online purchases, such as bra. So what are the characteristics of this kind of product? From the perspective of outlier knowledge, this study analyses why consumers buy such products, who is buying, what’s the relationship between grey product and purchasing behavior. The research process of this paper is as follows: Firstly, the consumers who buy bra online are interviewed by field interviews, and the different effects of the attributes of such products on consumers are summarized from the perspective of outlier knowledge. Secondly, the influencing factors privacy concerns and purchasing behavior in the model are measured by the previous maturity scale, while the grey products knowledge is revised by using Bruck's scale for reference. Finally, sample data are obtained by questionnaire. This study finds that privacy concerns have a negative impact on consumers' online purchasing behavior of grey privacy products and consumers' grey products knowledge has a significant positive impact on consumers' purchasing behavior from the perspective of outlier knowledge. Discussing the factors of consumers' online purchasing behavior from the perspective of outlier knowledge management can provide a new perspective for follow-up study.
Mechanisms of anti-stress action of low-intensive mm radiation on microcirculation of animals under stress conditions

— animal studies with laser Doppler flowmetry showed, that there were local and systemic changes in the microcirculation caused by hypokinetic stress, what allowed us to expand our understanding of the pathophysiological processes caused by the influence of a stressing factor on the body. A study of the isolated EHF influence on the microcirculation and its combination with stress-modeling helped us to establish and scientifically substantiate the possibility of using extremely high frequency electromagnetic radiation for correction body disorders caused by stress.
Screening of different Pseudomonas and Bacillus Spp. for production of L-glutamic acid and impact of their cell-free filtrate on growth and yield of brinjal (Solanum melongena)

Amino acids can play a different role in plants such as nitrogen source, hormonal precursor and stress reducing agents. L glutamic acid is involved in several plant metabolic processes. The objectives of present work were to evaluate the L glutamic acid production by different agriculturally important Pseudomonas and Bacillus species and to determine the effects of L glutamic acid containing cell-free filtrate on growth and yield of brinjal. An experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design (CRBD). Out of eight different strains of Pseudomonas, the highest L glutamic acid was detected in Pseudomonas fluorescens 128 (1.397 g/l) followed by Pseudomonas fluorescens NSPL07 (1.073 g/l) and Pseudomonas striata RCOF153 (0.563 g/l). Similarly, out of six different species of Bacillus, moderate L glutamic was detected in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens MTCC10439 (0.232 g/l). The growth stimulatory effects of L glutamic acid containing filtrate (200 ppm) was also studied and it was found that all growth parameters of brinjal (plant height, fruits per plant, fruit yield etc) improved significantly. Results indicated that bacterial secretion containing L glutamic acid along with other amino acids have bio-stimulatory effects and it should be used to enhance the plant growth and yield.

which will lead to an inability to self-care. [6] The number of cataract operations performed showed a disparity among various states in India. [4] In spite of the efforts to achieve set target of CS by the National Program of Control of Blindness in different states, there was a considerable backlog of Background: Cataract is one of the most common causes of avoidable blindness in India. Cataract surgical coverage (CSC) is an important indicator of the need for improvement in eye care services. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to find out the CSC and its association with sociodemographic factors among elderly population. Materials and Methods: This study was part of a community-based cross-sectional study carried out among elderly population residing at field practice area of Rural Health Training Centre and Urban Health Training Centre, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. A sample of 550 was taken from the registered elderly population aged 60 years and above using systematic random sampling with probability proportional to size. Operable cataract was found to be among 343 elderly, and these elderly were assessed for overall coverage and sociodemographic association of cataract surgery. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Tests of proportion, Chi-square test, and multiple logistic regressions were used. P < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: CSC was found to be 32.9% in the study population which was significantly associated with age, sex, and SLI. Conclusion: The CSC was very low in the study population. ABSTRACT
Combined genotype and phenotype analyses reveal patterns of genomic adaptation to local environments in the subtropical oak Quercus acutissima

Understanding the effects of the demographic dynamics and environmental heterogeneity on the genomic variation of forest species is important, not only for uncovering the evolutionary history of the species, but also for predicting their ability to adapt to climate change. In this study, we combined a common garden experiment with range‐wide population genomics analyses to infer the demographic history and characterize patterns of local adaptation in a subtropical oak species, Quercus acutissima (Carruthers). We scanned approximately 8% of the oak genome using a balanced representation of both genic and non‐genic regions and identified a total of 55 361 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 167 trees. Genomic diversity analyses revealed an east–west split in the species distribution range. Coalescent‐based model simulations inferred a late Pleistocene divergence in Q. acutissima between the east and west groups as well as subsequent preglaciation population expansion events. Consistent with observed genetic differentiation, morphological traits also showed east–west differentiation and the biomass allocation in seedlings was significantly associated with precipitation. Environment was found to have a significant and stronger impact on the non‐neutral than the neutral SNPs, and also significantly associated with the phenotypic differentiation, suggesting that, apart from the geography, environment had played a role in determining non‐neutral and phenotypic variation. Our approach, which combined a common garden experiment with landscape genomics data, validated the hypothesis of local adaptation of this long‐lived oak tree of subtropical China. Our study joins the small number of studies that have combined genotypic and phenotypic data to detect patterns of local adaptation.
An Analysis of the Competitiveness and Market Expansion of Thailand’s Rubber Smoked Sheet Exports - A Technical Note

This study aims to investigate the effect of market share and total RMS imports by Thailand’s RMS partner importers by employing simultaneous equations with panel data. The data consist of 10 Thailand rubber smoked sheet (RMS) partner countries between 2008 and 2017 and are estimated by using the three stage least square technique. It was found that market share has more effect on the RMS partner imports from Thailand than the partner’s market expansion while the exchange rate had a strong negative effect on market share in the partner country. As a consequence, policymakers should prioritize the formulation of suitable and effective international fiscal policy and its implementation to better allocate the benefits from trade.
A new Mental Health Act for Malta

Until recently, the care of persons with mental disorder in Malta was regulated by mental health legislation enacted in 1976. This was closely modelled on the 1959 British Mental Health Act. Now, the Mental Health Act 2012 is being implemented in two steps, in 2013 and 2014. The paper reviews its provisions.
Insights into a Changing Communal Constructicon

The paper examines legal writing in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period from a diachronic perspective. The underlying corpus consists of Middle Low German law codifications of the period from 1227 until 1567. Applying a constructionist approach, the focus lies on evolving and changing constructions (of legal writing). The corpus-based examination reveals insights into the changing communal constructicon. This communal constructicon can be seen as a repertoire of constructions shared by legal writers (of that time). Due to observable language elaboration processes, this repertoire – modelled as a socio-cognitive network – becomes increasingly complex and literate over time. Language elaboration is a type of language change closely linked to written usage. In this context, the obvious nexus between legal writing and language elaboration plays
Knowledge Absorption Capacity as a Factor for Increasing Logistics 4.0 Maturity

This research strives to show the importance of knowledge absorptive capacity as one of the most important determinants of successful implementation of contemporary solutions and, consequently, development of a company. In the approach presented, the development leads to excellence and is expressed with subsequent maturity levels. The research is focused on identification of the level of absorption of knowledge of contemporary solutions in logistics, grouped in a concept of Logistics 4.0, and how that upgrades the organizational maturity of a company. The research was conducted with CAWI (Computer-Assisted Web Interview), including three questions and a basic query on experts’ qualifications. The general conclusion from the research was that to reach a higher level of maturity, a higher level of knowledge absorption is required. However, searching for differences in absorption of solutions within physical flows, information flows and managerial methods seem to be an interesting issue and promising field for further research.
Management of Community Acquired Respiratory Tract Infections with Co-morbidities

Community-acquired respiratory tract infections are one of the commonest infections seen in the clinical practice and an important cause of mortality and morbidity, especially in patients with immune-compromised states. Two cases of antibiotic resistant community-acquired lower respiratory tract infections in a 42-year-old male and a 68-year-old male are reported. Both had presented with lower respiratory tract symptoms, previously treated with antibiotics. The patients were immunecompromised and suffered from conditions such as Diabetes and COPD. Along with this, they had an infection caused by resistant bacteria. The clinical history, investigations and the appropriate line of treatment selected in order to resolve complications in the present cases are detailed here.

Extracting actionable information from microtexts

Microblogs such as Twitter represent a powerful source of information. Part of this information can be aggregated beyond the level of individual posts. Some of this aggregated information is referring to events that could or should be acted upon in the interest of e-governance, public safety, or other levels of public interest. Moreover, a significant amount of this information, if aggregated, could complement existing information networks in a non-trivial way. This dissertation proposes a semi-automatic method for extracting actionable information that serves this purpose. We report three main contributions and a final conclusion that are presented in a separate chapter of this dissertation. First, we show that predicting time to event is possible for both in-domain and cross-domain scenarios. Second, we suggest a method which facilitates the definition of relevance for an analyst’s context and the use of this definition to analyze new data. Finally, we propose a method to integrate the machine learning based relevant information classification method with a rule-based information classification technique to classify microtexts. Fully automatizing microtext analysis has been our goal since the first day of this research project. Our efforts in this direction informed us about the extent this automation can be realized. We mostly first developed an automated approach, then we extended and improved it by integrating human intervention at various steps of the automated approach. Our experience confirms previous work that states that a well-designed human intervention or contribution in design, realization, or evaluation of an information system either improves its performance or enables its realization. As our studies and results directed us toward its necessity and value, we were inspired from previous studies in designing human involvement and customized our approaches to benefit from human input. Consequently, our contribution to existing body of research in this line has become the confirmation of the value of human intervention in extracting actionable information from microtexts.
A default mode of brain func

A baseline or control state is fundamental to the understanding of most complex systems. Defining a baseline state in the human inm brain, arguably our most complex system, poses a particular de challenge. Many suspect that left unconstrained, its activity will wh vary unpredictably. Despite this prediction we identify a baseline be state of the normal adult human brain in terms of the brain oxygen of extraction fraction or OEF. The OEF is defined as the ratio of oxygen res used by the brain to oxygen delivered by flowing blood and is qu remarkably uniform in the awake but resting state (e.g., lying va quietly with eyes closed). Local deviations in the OEF represent the fie physiological basis of signals of changes in neuronal activity thi obtained with functional MRI during a wide variety of human co behaviors. We used quantitative metabolic and circulatory meadiI surements from positron-emission tomography to obtain the OEF the regionally throughout the brain. Areas of activation were conspicsta uous by their absence. All significant deviations from the mean hemisphere OEF were increases, signifying deactivations, and att resided almost exclusively in the visual system. Defining the baseline state of an area in this manner attaches meaning to a Ba group of areas that consistently exhibit decreases from this baseAl line, during a wide variety of goal-directed behaviors monitored bo with positron-emission tomography and functional MRI. These f decreases suggest the existence of an organized, baseline default isr mode of brain function that is suspended during specific goalbs directed behaviors. un
