Defining and Optimization of Satho Production Technology

The content of alcohol and three categories of fermentation by-products of satho produced from various kinds of substrates and starter culture were analyzed. The high proficiency isolates of mould and yeast from loogpang were identified by sequencing of rDNA and real time PCR revealed as R.oryzea and S.cerevisiae respectively. Satho product obtained from semi-conventional fermentation using rice wort as substrate showed closely in chemical profile with reference product sample and contained highest amount of ester at the level of 61.9 mg/l.
A trophic interaction framework for identifying the invasive capacity of novel organisms

The likelihood and impacts of invasions by novel organisms (e.g. non‐native species, genetically modified organisms) on the composition and functioning of receiving biological communities hinges on their capacity to exploit resources and/or avoid predation relative to resident counterparts. While assessment of invasion risk based on the comparison of functional responses (per‐capita consumption rate as a function of resource density) of novel species with native analogues has been gaining popularity, it may be undermined if alternative prey and potential predators are not represented realistically. Here, we propose a conceptual framework that enables rigorous identification of trophic traits conducive to invasion success by novel organisms—irrespective of their trophic position—and their likely ecological impacts, given their arrival and establishment. We focus on consumption here, but our framework can also be used for autotrophic energy acquisition, and extended to non‐trophic and indirect interactions. The framework enables a structured and prioritized selection of subsets of trophic links for invasion risk assessment. It is based on foraging theory and advances in comparative functional responses in invasion ecology. It can even be used in the absence of a resident comparator organism and when resources or predators are only partly known. Our approach enhances the predictive power of species screening, and thus advances prevention and management of invasions under a common framework for all types of novel organisms.
Soft Topological Transformation Groups

The aim of the present study is to introduce the concept of soft topological transformation groups by examining the topological transformation groups, which are the core subject of algebraic topology under the soft approach. Actions of soft topological groups on soft topological spaces are studied, and the category of soft topological transformation groups is constructed. Also, a translation and conjugation of the soft topological groups are described. Finally, the definitions of soft orbit spaces and soft homogeneous spaces are given, and some of the properties of these concepts are examined in detail.
Evaluating differential expression of MHC class II genes for association with resistance to mastitis in Indian buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)

Genes encoded by Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) are highly polymorphic, contributing significantly to vertebrate immune response. In this report, MHC locus encoded DQA and DQB genes have been characterized in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), a livestock species of highest commercial importance in the Indian subcontinent. Full-length sequencing of buffalo DQA1, DQA2 revealed a single open reading frame (ORF) of 768, encoding 256 amino acids while DQB gene locus was 774 nucleotides long, encoding a polypeptide of 258 amino acids. Sequence characterization helped in documentation of expression of a third locus DQA3, for the first time in buffalo. Expression of MHC Class II genes was evaluated across peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of mastitis affected (n=17) and non-affected (healthy, n=17) Murrah buffaloes, as well as after in-vitro challenging of PBMCs of animals of both the groups with Gram-negative bacterial ligand, lipopolysaccharide. SYBRGreen dye based real-time PCR assay using RNA purified and reverse transcribed from PBMCs, indicated more than two fold higher basal expression of DQA (2.3) and DRA (2.3) genes in non-mastitis buffaloes compared to those with mastitis. Further, melt-curve analysis by assessing shift of peak helped in identification of diverged alleles that were confirmed to be arising through gene duplication. There was significant difference in the expression of DQA and DQB molecules in PBMCs of mastitis and non-mastitis groups examined after in-vitro LPS challenge. Further, it was also established that duplicated DQ loci might have an effect on lower mastitis occurrence in buffaloes, as observed through association studies. PBMCs, thus, exhibited a unique ability to regulate surface expression of MHC class II molecules during mastitis in buffalo and will be helpful in better understanding the role of these molecules in mastitis occurrence and possible resistance in bovines. Real-time PCR assay could be used in identification of allelic diversity as well as duplication among MHC genes. This is the first report on MHC Class II genes expression and association with disease resistance in buffalo.
2 Men Opting out: Disenchantment with Corporate Cultures and Career Ideals

: Opting out of successful careers has been a highly debated topic ever since New York Times columnist Lisa Belkin published her article ‘ The Opt-Out Revolution ’ . However, men have not been included in the debate, nor has it captured contemporary, societal aspects, as it has focused solely on women who leave to care full-time for children. I have thus broadened the definition of opting out to include opting in to new lifestyles or solutions for work. Mainstream career models no longer accurately describe preferred or actual career patterns and progressions. In addition, although prevalent career models are based on masculinist norms, they do not leave much room for diversity among men. Using a narrative approach, this chapter draws on the narratives of 29 men from Finland, the UK and the US who opted out of mainstream masculinist careers to pursue new lifestyles and solutions for work. The men typically felt disenchanted with corporate ideals and expectations as they progressed up the career ladder. This disenchantment came from internal struggles associated with increased pressure and stress on the one hand, and ethical issues regarding the treatment of, for example, employees and clients on the other. Opting out allowed them to create solutions for work that provided a sense of coherence, authenticity and wellbeing, and made it possible for them to spend time and nurture the relationships with people who were important to them.
Generalized Jordan Triple -Higher Homomorphisms on Prime Rings

Variable gain control-based acceleration slip regulation control algorithm for four-wheel independent drive electric vehicle

In order to improve the dynamic performance and stability of general acceleration slip regulation (ASR) control technology for four-wheel independent drive electric vehicle (4WID EV), an ASR control strategy based on variable gain controller (VGC) is proposed in this paper. First of all, a road identification strategy is designed to identify the current road surface and calculate the optimal slip ratio of the road. Then, the optimal slip ratio is taken as the control target, and the ASR control strategy based on VGC is designed to keeps slip ratio around the optimum slip ratio through controlling the driving torque output, so wheels can make the best of road adhesion to prevent vehicle from slipping. Meanwhile, we analyze the control system state space, and build a scalar function of the system, and prove that the system satisfies Lyapunov large scale asymptotic stability theorem, so the parameters of the VGC does not affect the system stability. Then, in order to meet the requirement of quick dynamic response and no overshoot, parameters selection of VGC is deduced by mathematics. Finally, the co-simulation of Matlab/Simulink and Carsim results show that the proposed control strategy is with the better dynamics and stability, and can better prevent wheel slipping on various roads.
Effect of Probiotic Supplementation on Milk Yield in Lactating Holstein Fresien Cross Bred Cows

On farm trial was conducted on 20 lactating crossbred cows were randomly divided into two groups on the basis of milk yield (10 to 13 kg/day) and day of calving less than 60 days to see the effect of supplement probiotic on milk yield for continuous three year (2014 to 2017). Cross bred cows were fed concentrate, green and dry fodder and wheat straw in control groups and addition of 20 grams of Probiotic was given in treatment group. Experimental feeding was continued up to 90 days. The average milk production and fat percentage was significantly higher in treatment group. Milk production efficiency was also significantly higher in probiotic supplemented in comparison to control group. It was concluded that probiotic supplementation @ 20 gram per day per animal in cows significantly increase the milk production over the control group.

Schizotypal Disorder in Children—A Neglected Diagnosis

Disabling psychotic-like perceptions, thoughts, and behavior have long been recognized in children. These symptoms have an adverse impact on child and family and are a developmental predictor of Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSD). Attempts to classify this phenomenon separately and within the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and International Classification of Diseases (ICD) systems have been unsuccessful until the DSM-5 and ICD-11. The categorization of Schizotypal Disorder within the SSDs in DSM-5 and ICD-11, and recognition that it is manifest in childhood, has established Schizotypal Disorder in Childhood (SDC) as a focus for clinical attention and research. This article aims to increase the awareness of this debilitating disorder by describing 3 case studies (ages 6, 8, and 9), which illustrate and refine the clinical presentation and cognitive profile of SDC. Biopsychosocial risk factors, comorbid disorders, and features that differentiate it from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are discussed. A comprehensive understanding of SDC will improve the accuracy and validity of the diagnostic process and pave the way for further research into its etiology, developmental pathway, and treatment.
A Bayesian Approach to Modeling Multivariate Multilevel Insurance Claims in the Presence of Unsettled Claims

A Bayesian model for individual insurance claims is proposed which accounts for the multivariate multilevel features of the claims, including multiple claimants for the same event, each of whom may receive benefits under different coverages. A Bayesian approach makes it possible to account for missing values in the covariates and partial information contained in open files, thereby avoiding sampling bias induced when unsettled claims are ignored. For a given claim, the combination of coverages under which payments are made is modeled as a type with multinomial regression. The presence of legal and expert fees follows a logistic regression given the type. The non-zero claim amounts are then modeled with log skewed normal regressions linked by a Student t copula. The Bayesian framework yields a predictive distribution for the amounts paid, including parameter risk and process risk, while handling missing covariates and open files. The approach is illustrated with Accident Benefits car insurance claims from a Canadian company.
Effect of miRNA-802 on PI3K/Akt pathway in insulin resistant skeletal muscle cells

Objective To investigate the expression of miRNA-802 (miR-802) and the relationship with glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in insulin resistant skeletal muscle cells. Methods L6 rat myoblasts were recovered, cultured and differentiated into L6 muscle cells, incubated with 0.4 mmol/L palmitic acid (PA) and then randomly divided into two groups: Control group (Con) and PA group (PA). After 24 hours, the glucose concentration in the culture medium was measured to determine whether the model was constructed successfully. After successful establishment of the insulin resistance L6 rat myoblasts model, then the cells were transfected with miR-802 mimic or inhibitor to regulate the expression of miR-802. The experimental groups were divided into 5 subgroups as follows: control group, PA group, PA group infected with miR-802 mimic (PA+miR- 802-mimic), PA group infected with miR-802 inhibitor (PA+miR-802-inhibitor), and PA group infected with negative control (PA+negative control). The mRNA and protein expressions of the insulin signaling pathway [including phosphatidylinositol-3- kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), and glucose transporter 4 (GluT4)] were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results Compared with control group, the mRNA expression in miR-802 group increased significantly (1.458±0.264 vs. 3.108±0.513). Compared with PA group and PA+negative control group, the mRNA expression in miR-802 group increased obviously in PA+miR-802 mimic group (3.108±0.513, 3.442±0.104 vs. 11.743±0.933), and the mRNA expressions of PI3K (0.724±0.032, 0.682±0.059 vs. 0.494±0.025), Akt (0.819±0.044, 0.718±0.033 vs. 0.754±0.028) and GluT4 (0.719±0.038, 0.666±0.056 vs. 0.427±0.031) significantly decreased, and the protein expression of p-PI3K/PI3K (0.349±0.056, 0.351±0.019 vs. 0.195±0.026), p-Akt/Akt (0.639±0.002, 0.557±0.04 vs. 0.261±0.075)and GluT4 (0.648±0.028, 0.590±0.026 vs. 0.413±0.096) significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with PA and PA+negative control group, the mRNA expression in miR-802 group decreased in PA+miR-802 inhibitor group (3.108±0.513, 3.442±0.104 vs. 1.069±0.056), the mRNA expressions of PI3K (0.724±0.032, 0.682±0.059 vs. 0.887±0.016), Akt (0.819±0.044, 0.718±0.033 vs. 0.814±0.026) and GluT4 (0.719±0.038, 0.666±0.056 vs. 0.908±0.054) significantly increased, and the protein expressions of p-PI3K/PI3K (0.349±0.056, 0.351±0.019 vs. 0.494±0.012), p-Akt/Akt (0.639±0.002, 0.557±0.04 vs. 0.951±0.031) and GluT4 (0.648±0.028, 0.590±0.026 vs. 0.756±0.007) significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion miR-802 regulates insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in L6 muscle cells, so inhibition of miR-802 expression may be a potential therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes.

Workplace Surveillance Outside the Workplace: An Analysis of E-Monitoring Remote Employees

In the time of Covid-19, working from home has suddenly become the norm. This thematic literature review explores the workplace surveillance landscape for remote workers from an employee perspective. This paper discusses the excessive surveillance that occurs, the technologies that facilitate it, why it erodes trust with employers, and what tools and frameworks employees can use to demand privacy. Employee surveillance is no longer confined to the office space, it is holistic, constant, round the clock monitoring, enabled by new technologies and lowering costs of existing technologies. I argue that remote employee acceptance of workplace monitoring solutions depends on the transparency on data collection from employers, and the exclusive use of the data for security rather than hiring and firing decisions.
An Improved Bacterial Foraging Algorithm for Multi-modal Problems

In order to improve the performance of BFO (bacterial foraging optimization) algorithm in multi-modal problems, the algorithm is optimized and improved in this paper. In the chemotaxis operation, the gradient accumulation variable swimming step size is realized, and the convergence speed of the algorithm is accelerated. In the reproduction operation, a new population competition mechanism is added, and a double-index sorting is realized, which improves the ability of the algorithm to jump out of the local optimum and the diversity of the population. In the migration operation, the vitality index of bacteria is added to dynamically affect the migration probability, ensure the survival probability of elite individuals, and further improve the global optimization ability of the algorithm. Finally, a multi-modal function is selected to test. Compared with the genetic algorithm, the improved BFO algorithm is better than the genetic algorithm in speed and quality.

PENINGKATAN KADAR LOVASTATIN ANGKAK OLEH Monascuspurpureus KO-KULTUR DENGAN Endomycopsis burtontt [Improvement of Lovastatin Angkak Production by Monascus purpureus Strains Co-Cultured with Endomycopsis burtonii]

Lovastatin is a bioactive material of statin groups and has been used to reduce cholesterol through inhibiting HMG Co-A reductase enzyme activities. Three indigenous strains of Monascus purpureus and three mutans were used in this study produced lovastatin at the range of 0,1 - 1,42%. The objectives of this study were to increase lovastatin productions by co-cultured with several concentrations of Endomycopsis burtonii. M. purpureus (10 cfu/ml) was co-cultured with various concentrations of E. burtonii (10M0 ) cfu/ral at three different feeding times (day 2, 4, and 6). Feeding times and concentrations of E. burtonii significantly increased production of lovastatin by four strains of M. purpureus (JMBA5K, AID, JMBA and TOS). The highest production of lovastatin was achieved by M. purpureus TOS co-cultured by E. burtonii at 10 cfu/ml added at day 6. Expression of the genes that responsible for lovastatin production were analyzed by PCR and RT-PCR method. The phenotypic character of M. purpureus TOS with high lovastatin production was conformed by the high intensity of its gene expression.
Urbanization drives an early spring for plants but not for pollinators

Urbanization is one of the major threats to wild plants and pollinators, and its global increase demands a better understanding of the mechanism driving its negative impact. Urban warming and altered local environmental conditions have the potential to affect the timing of flowering and of pollinator activity. While previous evidence has shown that plant phenology tends to advance in urban areas, little is known about its effects on pollinator phenology. In this study we simultaneously assessed the response of the timing of flowering of native plants and of the flight period of wild pollinators to increased urbanization. We collected data from 12 sites along an urbanization gradient in northern France, a region under strong anthropogenic pressure. Overall, we recorded more than 70 plant species, and we sampled more than 4300 wild bees and hoverflies belonging to 154 species. Plant flowering showed a strong response to urbanization at the community level with a striking advancement of the flowering peak in sites at high urbanization. On the contrary, pollinator communities did not show any clear shift of their flight phenology along the gradient, neither regarding abundance nor diversity. Our results indicate that phenologies of plant and pollinator communities can respond differently along the same urbanization gradient. These asymmetric responses can drive modifications in the structure of plant–pollinator networks, and potentially negatively affect the fitness of both mutualistic partners.
PAPR Reduction in UFMC for 5G Cellular Systems

Universal filtered multi-carrier (UFMC) is a potential multi-carrier system for future cellular networks. UFMC provides low latency, frequency offset robustness, and reduced out-of-band (OOB) emission that results in better spectral efficiency. However, UFMC suffers from the problem of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which might impact the function of high power amplifiers causing a nonlinear distortion. We propose a comparative probabilistic PAPR reduction technique, called the decomposed selective mapping approach, to alleviate PAPR in UFMC systems. The concept of this proposal depends on decomposing the complex symbol into real and imaginary parts, and then converting each part to a number of different phase vectors prior to the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) operation. The IFFT copy, which introduces the lowest PAPR, is considered for transmission. Results obtained using theoretical analysis and simulations show that the proposed approach can significantly enhance the performance of the UFMC system in terms of PAPR reduction. Besides, it maintains the OOB emission with candidate bit error rate and error vector magnitude performances.
