Mapping on the Use of Games for Programming Teaching with an Emphasis on Software Reuse

—Many works have already approached the use of games as a teaching method due to several advantages that this strategy can bring to the current teaching method. Therefore, a study was previously performed to identify games created for teaching software reuse fundamentals. However, no work addressing this problem was identiﬁed. Software reuse is an essential area of software engineering and is commonly associated with programming. Based on this, this article sought to identify works that had already been done on the use of games for programming teaching but could be used to teach reuse fundamentals.
of Birmingham Care home resident and staff perceptions of the acceptability of nutrition intervention trial procedures

Objectives To examine care home resident and staff perceptions of the acceptability of participating in a feasibility trial evaluating nutritional interventions in the treatment of malnutrition. Design Exploratory qualitative methodology was used to gather descriptions of resident and staff perceptions of trial procedures, using semi-structured interviews with residents and focus groups with staff. The interviews were used to explore individual perceptions of the acceptability of the assigned intervention and the outcomes measured. Focus groups were used to explore staff experiences of trial participation and perspectives of nutritional support interventions. setting The study was embedded within a cluster randomised feasibility trial, which randomised six care homes to provide standard care (SC), food-based (FB) intervention or oral nutritional supplement (ONS) intervention to residents with, or at risk of, malnutrition. Participants Residents in the trial with capacity to consent (n=7) formed the sampling frame for inclusion. Four agreed to be approached by the researcher and to take part in the individual interviews. All were women, representing two arms of the trial (ONS and SC). Twelve staff participated in six focus groups, one at each care home. All participants were women, representing all three arms of the trial. results Major themes that emerged from both interviews and focus groups included the perceived acceptability of trial involvement, the value of residents completing participant-reported outcome measures and the challenges associated with outcomes measurement in this setting. Themes that emerged from the focus groups alone, included the importance of individualising an intervention, and the perceived value of FB and ONS interventions and dietetic input. Conclusions Residents and staff perceived involvement in a trial evaluating nutritional interventions to be acceptable, although the challenges associated with research in this setting were acknowledged. Resident preferences were highlighted by staff as an important consideration when implementing a nutrition support plan. anthropometry, dietary intake, healthcare resource usage and participant-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
RODENTS AS A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF SOME ZOONOTIC ENTERIC PARASITES IN BENI-SUEF PROVINCE

Parasitic infections affecting the world's populations have a global significance. Infections are predominant in underdeveloped agricultural and rural areas of tropical and subtropical regions, causing reduced worker productivity and a waste of economic resources. The current study aimed to investigate epidemiological aspects and the occurrence of some zoonotic enteric parasites in different areas of Beni-Suef province, Egypt. Therefore, a total of 536 human stool samples (149 from diarrheic individuals of different ages and both sexes and 387 from apparently healthy individuals). Moreover, 95 fecal samples from rodents were collected from both rural and urban areas in Beni-Suefprovince for the detection of zoonotic enteric parasites by examination of direct fecal smears and concentration methods using different solutions (Shethear's solution, Zn sulphate and formol ether). Recovered parasites were Paragonimus -like (0.7%), Hymenolepis nana (12.5%), Hymenolepis diminuta (0.18%), Enterobius (7.1%), Giardia spp. (11%), Entamoeba histolytica (16.9%) and mixed infection with more than one parasite represent 1.7%. Abundance of positive cases show rural residence with both rats and animal contact, with the young age groups were more liable to the infestation than the other groups. Examination of fecal samples from rats revealed infection rates of 33.7%. Hymenolepis diminuta was the most common parasite (20%) followed by Hymenolepis nana (12.6%) and Capillaria hepatica (1.05%) .
Socioeconomic Differences in Handgrip Strength and its Association with Intrinsic Capacity among Older Adults in Middle Income Countries: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Handgrip strength is a strong predictor of health, functional ability, and mortality among older adults. This study assesses socioeconomic differences in handgrip strength among older adults age 50 years and over in six middle-income countries, focusing on the association with selected measures of intrinsic capacity. Methods: Cross-sectional nationally representative data from the WHO’s Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) was used. Three-level linear hierarchical models examine the association of demographic, socioeconomic status and multimorbidity variables with handgrip strength; regression-based Relative Index of Inequality (RII) examines socioeconomic inequalities in handgrip strength; multilevel linear and logistic hierarchical regression models document the association between handgrip strength and five domains of intrinsic capacity: locomotion, psychological, cognitive capacity, vitality and sensory. Results: Age, sex, work status, nutritional status showed significant association with handgrip strength, an important biomarker of health among older adults, across countries. Socioeconomic differences in handgrip strength, are notable across all countries except South Africa. Further, handgrip strength showed significant association with measures of intrinsic capacity across five domains: locomotion, psychological, cognition, vitality and sensory. Conclusions: The significant association of handgrip strength with measures of intrinsic capacity, suggest handgrip strength as an important measure of health in old age. Life-course interventions to improve the handgrip strength will be useful for the overall wellbeing of older adults. This study revealed substantial cross-national and significant socioeconomic differences in handgrip strength. A robust association of handgrip strength with measures of intrinsic capacity in the five domains of locomotion, cognitive capacity, psychological and vitality revealed the multi-dimensional potential of using handgrip strength as an important measure of intrinsic capacity. These results underline the importance of upper body muscle strength measured as handgrip strength for assessing measures of healthy ageing in middle-income countries. Overall, the results of this study provide a stronger confirmation of handgrip strength as a marker of both ageing and healthy ageing.
V TH subthreshold hysteresis technology and temperature dependence in commercial 4H-SiC MOSFETs

V TH subthreshold hysteresis measured in commercially available 4H-SiC MOSFET is more pronounced in trench than in planar ones. All planar devices from different manufacturers exhibit an inverse temperature dependence, with the hysteresis amplitude reducing as the temperature increases, whereas all trench devices from different manufacturers exhibit the opposite behaviour. A physical interpretation is proposed, based on experimental evidence, which demonstrates that temperature dependence of the V TH subthreshold hysteresis is related to the technology. The findings are relevant to the ongoing discussion on SiC bespoke validation standards development and contribute important new insight.
The presence of a1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase deletion mutation alters the physiology of the endophytic plant growth-promoting bacterium Burkholderia phyto¢rmansPsJN

The structural gene for 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase ( acdS ) from the endophytic plant growth-promoting bacterium Burkholderia phytoﬁrmans PsJN was isolated and used to construct a mutant strain B. phytoﬁrmans YS2 ( B. phytoﬁrmans PsJN/ D acdS ), in which an internal segment of the acdS gene was deleted. The mutant YS2 lost ACC deaminase activity as well as the ability to promote the elongation of the roots of canola seedlings. Concomitant with the creation of this deletion mutant, a number of physiological changes were observed in the bacterium, including an increase in indole acetic acid synthesis, a decrease in the production of siderophores and an increase in the cellular level of the stationary-phase s factor, RpoS. Introduction of the wild-type acdS gene into the mutant YS2 to construct strain B. phytoﬁrmans YS3

The discovery that miRNAs function as key regulators of carcinogenesis and tumor progression has initiated extensive research in the cancer field, leading to the development of newer anticancer therapies. Growing studies have identified some miRNAs as promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets of RCC. This review discusses the current status of miRNAs in RCC, focusing on miRNAs as potential diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers and their therapeutic potential.
Journal category: Environmental Stress and Adaptation Running title: Singlet oxygen in photo-oxidative damage Mailing address: Christian Triantaphylidès CEA-DSV, Institut de Biologie Environnementale et de Biotechnologie, Laboratoire d'Ecophysiologie Moléculaire des Plantes, CEA-Cadarache, Bât. 1

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as signaling molecules but can also directly provoke cellular damage by rapidly oxidizing cellular components, including lipids. We developed an HPLC-electrospray ionization-MS/MS-based quantitative method that allowed to discriminate between free radical (type I) and singlet oxygen (type II) mediated lipid peroxidation (LPO) signatures by using hydroxy fatty acids as specific reporters. Using this method we observed that in non-photosynthesizing Arabidopsis thaliana tissues nonenzymatic LPO was almost exclusively catalyzed by free radicals both under normal and oxidative stress conditions. However in leaf tissues under optimal growth conditions, singlet oxygen was responsible for more than 80% of the non-enzymatic LPO. In Arabidopsis mutants favoring singlet oxygen production, photo-oxidative stress led to a dramatic increase of singlet oxygen (type II) LPO that preceded cell death. Furthermore, under all conditions and in mutants that favor the production of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide (two sources for type I LPO reactions), plant cell death was nevertheless always preceded by an increase in singlet oxygen dependent (type II) LPO. Thus, besides triggering a genetic cell death program, as demonstrated previously with the Arabidopsis fluorescent (flu) mutant, singlet oxygen plays a major destructive role during the execution of ROS-induced cell death in leaf tissues. www.plantphysiol. org on September 2, 2017 Published by Downloaded from Copyright © 2008 American Society of Plant Biologists.

CORNER BENT INTEGRATED DESIGN OF 4G LTE AND MMWAVE 5G ANTENNAS FOR MOBILE TERMINALS

—Co-design of corner bent Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas catering to 4G LTE and mmWave 5G applications is proposed. The 4G LTE MIMO antenna module consists of two element microstrip-fed slot antennas operating from 1.7 to 3 GHz with fractional bandwidth of 55%, which covers LTE1900, LTE2300, and LTE2500 bands. For mmWave 5G MIMO antenna module, two element Vivaldi antennas with wideband operating from 25 to 38 GHz and fractional bandwidth of 41% are proposed. The mmWave 5G microstrip fed Vivaldi MIMO antennas exhibit orthogonal pattern diversity at 28 GHz with 1-dB gain bandwidth of 28%. The single element corner bent co-designed antenna is compact having dimensions of 14 × 51 × 0 . 254 mm 3 . The 4G LTE and mmWave 5G antennas are electrically close to each other by 0 . 01 λ at 1.7 GHz for minimal physical footprint. Co-designed 4G LTE and mmWave MIMO antennas are integrated inside a typical mobile case. Simulated and measured results are presented.
Providing an Automated Method for Fast and Accurate Measurement of Subcutaneous Body Fat on MRI Images

One of the most important methods for the measurement of subcutaneous body fat is in the field of clinical MRI, in this way the desired area of fat tissue (ROI) manually isolated and the region of interest identified by the radiologist, and its thickness is measured. But this separation is not necessary is has not the required speed and accuracy. In contrast, the method presented in this paper is an automated method for fast and accurate measurement of subcutaneous fat thickness. The recent study is done on 100 MRI images of (50 female, 50 male), and the thickness of subcutaneous fat in the midline of the abdomen and flank (from the iliac crest to the rib area) based on the proposed method (K-MEANS and FCM clustering methods and using recursive connected components algorithm) were calculated.
Using dynamic neural fields to understand the development of metric representations in typically developing and at-risk infant populations

During the past half-century, the experimental use of looking measures have led to many new discoveries about the origins of cognition. Across the first year, infants’ looking changes in predictable ways, they form memories more quickly, and they begin to discriminate between subtly different stimuli. However, a rich understanding of the link between looking and cognitive dynamics has yet to be achieved. This was the overarching goal of this thesis. I developed a new Dynamic Field Theory of infant looking and memory and formally implemented this theory in a Dynamic Neural Field model. In Experiment 1, I tested and confirmed a prediction of the model with 10-month-old infants. The prediction was that robust memory can induce both a familiarity and novelty bias depending on the metric similarity of the familiar and novel items at which infants look. This prediction is a radical one because all existing theories posit that familiarity biases arise from weak memory. One central innovation of the DNF model is that it captures developmental change in the rate at which memories are formed and discrimination within the same system and from the same developmental mechanism. With a validated theory in hand, in Experiment 2 I tested this theoretical assumption. In particular, I measured the looking dynamics and discrimination performance of 5-, 7-, and 10-month-old infants. The results showed that infants’ exhibited an increased ability to discriminate between dissimilar familiar and novel items between 5 and 7 months of age. The results also showed that three wellknown looking indices of memory formation also generally change between 5 and 7 months of age. Additionally, individual differences in these looking indices were
Nutritional evaluation of five selected tubers of Kanyakumari District, India

- Eating balanced diet is essential for good health and wellfare. Tubers provide the chief nutrients like carbohydrate, protein and fat for the proper function of our body. In this study, biochemical and nutritive value of five commonly available tubers of Kanyakumari district such as Solanum tuberosum, Ipomoea batatas, Colocasia esculenta, Plectranthus rotundifolius and Borassus flabellifer were analysed.

Thus it can be concluded that tubers are staple food and have immense potential as functional foods. flabellifer, Colocasia esculenta, Ipomoea batatas, Solanum tuberosum and Plectranthus rotundifolius.
FLOCKING OF MECANUM WHEELED ROBOT CONSENSUS

This thesis applies flocking algorithms for the distributed consensus control of a multi-agent system composed of four-Mecanum-wheeled robots. The working mechanism of flocking is an artificial potential field consisting of attractive/repulsive forces and velocity alignment. The potential function of the attractive and repulsive force is introduced to control the connected distance among agents in the network. A consensus is a group of robots in a communication network to achieve common goals, which are the agreement of position and heading angle in this thesis. The main contribution of this thesis is our proposed feasible methods to achieve consensus control for general multi-agent systems of four-Mecanum-wheeled robots. With the fast development of information technology and the growing demand for data exchange around the world, the sensors and actuators of agents become more complicated and require more resources. Local communication among agents reduces the need for high material costs and lengthy installation time. This thesis established a controllable model of four-Mecanum-wheeled robots in a local communication network. An assumption is that all robots can obtain information on the relative position and heading angle difference between themselves and their neighbors. A few robots with installed GPS are directly connected to the central host. Our flocking methods under the assumed communication conditions adjust the velocities of robots by controlling the speed of Mecanum wheels. This thesis simulated the proposed leader-following flocking algorithms for cases of connected formation and snake formation with different numbers of leaders. The simulation results regarding the position consensus and heading angles consensus are provided to illustrate the robustness of the proposed algorithms.
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) Led Unit Nursing Rounds and Bedside Nurses’ Job Satisfaction

Purpose. To explore and describe the relationship of APRN unit-based rounds and the job satisfaction of bedside nurses and to evaluate the nurses’ perceived value of these rounds. Background. The role of the APRN on a hospital unit is a critical, yet unexamined factor on nursing retention and nurse’s job satisfaction, two factors linked to patient safety, outcomes and hospital Magnet status. Little research has been conducted that evaluates the relationship that the APRN role has to the bedside nurse’s job satisfaction. Unit-based nursing rounds provides teaching, coaching and mentoring, facilitating continuing professional education, the integration of evidence based practice at the bedside, and group empowerment. Design. A descriptive, exploratory, mixed-methods project to evaluate the value of APRN led unit-based rounds. Methods. Two open ended questionnaires were distributed to 38 nurses on an acute care inpatient unit in a Mid-Atlantic teaching hospital where APRN nursing rounds have been conducted since May 2011. Conventional content analysis was undertaken. Measurements included the practice environment scale (PES) and the job enjoyment scale (JES), collected annually by the hospital. Results. Ninety two percent of nurses reported that APRN-led rounds increased their job satisfaction. Themes included: increased knowledge and professional development, collaboration with peers, feeling valued and supported, improved quality care, and increased critical thinking. Conclusion. APRN led unit based rounds is a valuable strategy to improve the bedside nurses’ job satisfaction.
