THE IMPACT OF ROTATING SHIFT DUTIES ON JOB SATISFACTION, FATIGUE AND SLEEP DISORDERS AMONG NURSES IN TERTIARY CARE HOSPITALS OF LAHORE PAKISTAN

: Introduction: With the advancement of various industries, different types of shift work are being implemented throughout the world. Shift work is considered necessary to ensure continuity of care in hospitals and residential facilities. In particular, the night shift is one of the most frequent reasons for the disruption of circadian rhythms, causing significant alterations of sleep and biological functions that can affect physical and psychological well-being and negatively impact work performance . The aim of this study was to compare between fatigue, sleep disturbance and job satisfaction among nursing staff working in shift duties and day work in tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. Methods: A quantitative analytical cross-sectional study was conducted to compare fatigue, sleep disturbance and job satisfaction among shift duties and day work among nurses in tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. The descriptive statistics include the demographic data, factors and represented using the frequencies and percentage. To find out the relationship between the factors Pearson correlation was applied. Population of the study was nurses and sample size is 350 participants. Results: A significant positive correlation was found between the level of fatigue and the levels of anxiety and depression. In our study; the findings indicated that the level of job stress is moderate among day rotation nurses whereas it was severe. There is a positive relationship between marital life and fatigue and sleep disorders. Conclusion: In this study it was identified that nurses working in the shift duties have poor sleep quality. Whereas the nurses working in the day shifts have good sleep quality. Participants also reported that harsh interactions with other interdisciplinary team members worsen the fatigue and job satisfaction among the nurses.

*These authors contributed equally to this work Abstract: Lipoma belongs to a group of benign mesenchymal tumors. It is in the form of soft masses of adipose tissue encapsulated by a thin layer of fibrous tissue and usually localized subcutaneously. The tumor most often appears in the upper part of the body. Lipomas tend to grow slowly and are small (less than 5cm) lesions. Larger tumors are rare. In this article, we present the case of a patient with a giant head lipoma in the frontotemporo-parietal region. Both tumor size and location are unique and no such case has been described in the literature so far.
Fluid Shear Stress Attenuates Hydrogen Peroxide–Induced c-Jun NH 2 -Terminal Kinase Activation via a Glutathione Reductase–Mediated Mechanism Cellular Biology

—c-Jun NH 2 -terminal kinase (JNK) is activated by a number of cellular stimuli including reactive oxygen species (ROS). Previous studies have demonstrated that fluid shear stress (flow) inhibits cytokine-induced JNK activation in endothelial cells (ECs). In the present study, we show JNK activation by ROS in ECs and hypothesized that flow inhibits ROS-induced JNK activation in ECs via modulation of cellular protection systems against ROS. JNK was activated by 300 (cid:1) mol/L hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in bovine lung microvascular ECs (BLMVECs) with a peak at 60 minutes after stimulation (6.3 (cid:1) 1.2-fold increase). Preexposure of BLMVECs to physiological steady laminar flow (shear stress (cid:2) 12 dyne/cm 2 ) for 10 minutes significantly decreased H 2 O 2 -induced JNK activation. Thioredoxin and glutathione are cellular antioxidants that protect cells against ROS. Flow induced a significant increase in the ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione consistent with a 1.6-fold increase in glutathione reductase (GR) activity. Preincubation of BLMVECs with the GR inhibitor, 1,3 bis-(2 chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, abolished the inhibitory effect of flow. In contrast, preincubation of BLMVECs with azelaic acid, a specific inhibitor for thioredoxin reductase, did not alter the effect of flow on H 2 O 2 -induced JNK activation. Overexpression of GR mimicked the effect of flow to inhibit JNK activation. These results suggest that flow activates GR, an important regulator of the intracellular redox state of glutathione, and exerts a protective mechanism against oxidative stress in endothelial cells. ( Circ Res . 2002;91:712-718.) study, we hypothesized that flow inhibits ROS-induced JNK activation in endothelial cells via modulation of these cellular antioxidant systems.
A Hedonic Model for Apartment Rentals in Ikeja Area of Lagos Metropolis

The hedonic pricing model has been employed with a degree of success in housing market analysis in developed countries. This paper demonstrates the potentials of the same technique to the study of housing markets in a developing country like Nigeria. The paper used data from Ikeja area of Lagos state, Nigeria, to provide empirical evidence on market parameters that describe the hedonic price structure for apartments (flats) in a typical Nigerian city. Primary data were elicited through structured questionnaire, complemented with selective interviews and personal observations. The results revealed that number of bedrooms, condition of the property, availability of pipe-borne water, average size of bedrooms, and numbers of bath/toilets, in that order, are the main descriptors of apartment rentals in the study area. The results of this empirical investigation are of particular importance to investors, developers, financiers, and real estate valuers operating in the property sub-market under consideration. Among others, adequate knowledge of issues investigated and raised would assist developers to build to consumer tastes and preferences. The resulting model also provides an alternative to traditional valuation techniques and affords greater flexibility in accounting for sustainability in real estate valuation.
Survey of Multimedia Data Analysis by Feature Extraction using MapReduce Technique

— Recent years have seen a rapid proliferation of multimedia content, especially the video data. Analysis of videos for information extraction is becoming an important research area, due surge of video data and the fact that videos are rich in semantic concepts. Major challenges with video data are unstructured, uncertainty and high Volume. Design and implementation of a system to overcome such challenges is the need of today. Integral part of content based video analysis is key frame extraction and feature extraction. In this paper we have discussed various techniques for feature extraction. There is a lot of research in the past decade in video processing, but the use of latest technology of big data can improve the video analysis process. We have discussed the advancement in big data technology and proposed a technique which incorporates big data technology to assist in video analysis.
THE COMPANY'S KNOWLEDGE1

We have entered the Knowledge Era in which the basic economic resource is knowledge, also called Intellectual Capital (IC). In order to effectively manage companies that are increasingly based on intangibles, it is necessary to measure these resources. Moreover, once measured, the effects should be communicated, as measurement without any further action has no sense. Most of the resources that create value for a company are totally omitted or under-evaluated by accounting; therefore, they are beyond control and beyond management. The most important way to overcome this problem is to implement an IC statement that visualizes the actions and their effects concerning the development of a company's knowledge resources and value creation. This paper aims to analyze the development of guidelines on the Intellectual Capital (I C) Statement by providing a comparison of existing guidelines and presenting their significance.
Title: Cytokine expression and secretion by skeletal muscle cells: regulatory mechanisms and exercise effects Running head: Exercise-induced cytokine responses

1 Cytokines are important mediators of various aspects of health and disease, including 2 appetite, glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, skeletal muscle hypertrophy and 3 atrophy. Over the past decade or so, considerable attention has focused on the potential for 4 regular exercise to counteract a range of disease states by modulating cytokine production. 5 Exercise stimulates moderate to large increases in the circulating concentrations of 6 interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-1 receptor antagonist, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, 7 and smaller increases in tumor necrosis factor-  , monocyte chemotactic protein-1, IL-1  , 8 brain-derived neurotrophic factor, IL-12p35/p40 and IL-15. Although many of these 9 cytokines are also expressed in skeletal muscle, not all are released from skeletal muscle 10 into the circulation during exercise. Conversely, some cytokines that are present in the 11 circulation are not expressed in skeletal muscle after exercise. The reasons for these 12 discrepant cytokine responses to exercise are unclear. In this review, we address these 13 uncertainties by summarizing the capacity of skeletal muscle cells to produce cytokines, 14 analyzing other potential cellular sources of circulating cytokines during exercise, and 15 discussing the soluble factors and intracellular signaling pathways that regulate cytokine 16 synthesis (e.g., RNA-binding proteins, microRNAs, suppressor of cytokine signaling proteins, 17 soluble receptors). 18 interferon.
On the kinematics and dynamics of crystal-rich systems Geophysical Research: Solid Earth

Partially molten rocks, often called a mush, are examples of a hydrogranular mixture where the dynamics are controlled by both ﬂ uid and crystal-crystal interactions. An obstacle to progress in understanding high-temperature hydrogranular systems has been the lack of adequate levels of description of microphysical processes. Here we rationalize the hydrogranular kinematic and dynamic states by applying the concept of particle (crystal) force chains. We exemplify this with discrete-element computational ﬂ uid dynamic simulations of the intrusion of a basaltic melt into an olivine-basalt mush, where crystal-scale force chains, crystal transport, and melt mixing are resolved. To describe the microscale kinematics of the system, we introduce the coordination number and the fabric tensors of particle contacts and forces. We quantify the changing contact and force fabric anisotropy, coaxiality, and the connectedness of the mush, under dynamic conditions. To describe the dynamics, particle and ﬂ uid characteristic response times are derived. These are used to de ﬁ ne local and bulk Stokes numbers, and viscous and inertia numbers, which quantify the multiphase coupling under crystal-rich conditions. We employ the Sommerfeld number, which describes the importance of crystal-melt lubrication, with a viscous number to illustrate the dynamic regimes of crystal-rich magmas. We show that the notion of mechanical “ lock up ” is not uniquely identi ﬁ ed with a particular crystal volume fraction and that distinct mechanical behaviors can emerge simultaneously within a crystal-rich system. We also posit that this framework describes magmatic fabrics and processes which “ unlock ” a crystal mush prior to eruption or mixing. We de ﬁ ne something except in terms of ideas already at our disposal
Shadowing Eﬀects on J/ψ and Υ Production at the LHC

Background: Proton-nucleus collisions have been used as a intermediate baseline for the determi-nation of cold medium eﬀects. They lie between proton-proton collisions in vacuum and nucleus-nucleus collisions which are expected to be dominated by hot matter eﬀects. Modiﬁcations of the quark densities in nuclei relative to those of the proton are well established although those of the gluons in the nucleus are not well understood. We focus on the eﬀect of these on quarkonium production in proton-lead collisions at the LHC at a center of mass energy of 5.02 TeV. Purpose: We determine whether it is possible for the LHC proton-lead data to be described by nuclear modiﬁcations of the parton densities, referred to as shadowing, alone. We compare our results to the nuclear modiﬁcation factor and to the forward-backward ratio, both as a function of transverse momentum, p T , and rapidity, y . Methods: We employ the color evaporation model of quarkonium production at next-to-leading order in the total cross section and leading order in the transverse momentum dependence. We use the EPS09 NLO modiﬁcations as a standard of comparison. We study the eﬀect of the proton parton density and the choice of shadowing parameterization on the p T and rapidity dependence of the result. We check whether or not the calculations at leading and next-to-leading order give consistent shadowing results. We also investigate the size of the mass and scale uncertainties relative to the uncertainty on the shadowing parameterization. Finally, we check whether the expected cold matter eﬀect in nucleus-nucleus collisions can be modeled as the product of proton-nucleus results at forward and backward rapidity. Results: We ﬁnd that the rapidity and p T dependence of the nuclear modiﬁcation factor are generally consistent with the next-to-leading order calculations in the color evaporation model. The forward-backward ratio is more diﬃcult to describe with shadowing alone. The leading and next-to-leading order calculations are inconsistent for EPS09 while other available parameterizations are consistent. The mass and scale uncertainties on quarkonium production are larger than those of the nuclear parton densities. Conclusions: While shadowing is consistent with the nuclear suppression factors within the uncertainties, it is not consistent with the measured forward-backward asymmetry, especially as a function of transverse momentum. Data from p + p collisions at the same energy are needed.
Thyroid hormone receptor- (cid:1) and vascular function

Thyroid hormone receptor- (cid:1) and vascular function. Am Physiol Cell Physiol C1346–C1352, 2012. treatment exerts beneﬁcial effects on the cardiovascular system: it lowers cholesterol and LDL levels and enhances cardiac contractile function. However, little is known about the effect of TH on vascular function or the functional role of TH receptors (TRs) in the regulation of vascular tone. We have investigated the contribution of TRs to vascular contractility in the heart. Among different TR subtype-speciﬁc knockout (KO) mice, vascular contraction was signiﬁcantly enhanced in coronary arteries isolated from TR (cid:1) KO compared with wild-type mice, while chronic TH treatment signiﬁcantly attenuated coronary vascular contraction. We found that TR (cid:1) is the predominant TR in mouse coronary smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Coronary SMCs isolated from TR (cid:1) KO mice exhibited a signiﬁcant decrease in K (cid:2) channel activity, whereas TH treatment increased K (cid:2) channel activity in a dose-dependent manner. These data suggest that TR (cid:1) in SMCs has prominent effects on regulation of vascular tone and TH treatment helps decrease coronary vascular tone by increasing K (cid:2) channel activity through TR (cid:1)

Severe Depletion of CD4 (cid:1) CD25 (cid:1) Regulatory T Cells from the Intestinal Lamina Propria but Not Peripheral Blood or Lymph Nodes during Acute Simian Immunodeﬁciency Virus Infection (cid:1)

CD4 (cid:1) CD25 (cid:1) regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress the activation and proliferation of effector lymphocytes. In human immunodeﬁciency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, Tregs play a signiﬁcant role in controlling the apoptotic loss of uninfected CD4 (cid:1) T cells resulting from high levels of generalized immune activation. During acute HIV-1 infection, more than 50% of CD4 (cid:1) T cells are depleted from the gastrointestinal lamina propria. To elucidate the role of Tregs in HIV-1-induced depletion of CD4 (cid:1) T cells in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), we ﬁrst determine the distribution of Tregs in a setting of acute infection using the simian immu- nodeﬁciency virus (SIV)/pigtailed macaque model of HIV-1 disease. CD4 (cid:1) T cells from the GALT, lymph nodes, and peripheral blood were isolated from SIV-infected pigtailed macaques on days 4, 14, and 114 postinocu- lation. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR was used to quantitate FOXP3 copy numbers in SIV-infected and uninfected control macaques. Expression of FOXP3 in the ileal lamina propria was signif- icantly decreased at all stages of infection compared to levels in uninfected control macaques. In addition, functional analysis of ileal CD4 (cid:1) T cells from SIV-infected macaques revealed a lack of suppressive activity suggestive of the absence of Tregs in that compartment. These results indicate that Tregs are rapidly depleted in the GALT of SIV-infected macaques, deﬁning a role for the loss of Treg-mediated suppression in early events in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Automatic quantitative metrical analysis of Spanish Poetry with Rantanplan: a ﬁrst approach

In this paper, we present a quantitative approach to Spanish poetry and versiﬁca-tion through the application of our own automatic metrical tool, Rantanplan, to the complete poetic works of four Early Modern Spanish poets. The entire poetry by four representative authors of the period —Garcilaso de la Vega (1503-1536), Fernando de Herrera (1534-1597), Luis de Góngora (1561-1627), and Lope de Vega (1562-1635)—was automatically processed and stress positions were extracted. Thanks to the development of a new feature in Rantanplan for stanza identiﬁcation, we could detect metrical structures as well. A quantitative analysis of stress positions, line lengths and stanzas used per author follows, aiming at modeling their complete metrical proﬁle.
Short Abundance and diversity of plant parasitic nematodes associated with BP 308 and BP 42 clones of robusta coffee in Java, Indonesia

Mutala’liah, Indarti S, Putra NS. 2018. Abundance and diversity of plant parasitic nematodes associated with BP 308 and BP 42 clones of robusta coffee in Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: xxxx. Plant parasitic nematodes are an important limiting factor in the productivity of coffee plantations. Clone resistance and soil texture influence the severity of plant infestation by parasitic nematodes. The aim of this research was to determine the diversity of plant parasitic nematodes in two clone of Robusta coffee (BP 308 and BP 42) on soils with different contents of sand. The research was carried out in Malangsari Field (East Java), Getas Field (Central Java) and Candiroto Field (Central Java). Nematodes were extracted from soil samples by the decanting method using a whitehead tray, while roots sample by the funnel spray method with a ‘mistifier’. Differences in diversity of nematode genera between clone and location combinations were analyzed by ANOVA. The results showed that there were five genera associated with Robusta coffee, i.e. Pratylenchus , Helicotylenchus , Radopholus , Rotylenchulus , and Meloidogyne . With clone BP 308 at the Malangsari Field site where soil contained 31.3 % sand, Pratylenchus was the most abundant genus i.e. 6 nematodes/100 mL soil. On the same clone, BP 308, at the Getas Field site where soil contained 26.9 % sand, Meloidogyne was the most abundant i.e. 14.4 nematodes/10 g roots. With clone BP 42 at the Candiroto Field site with 25.5 % sand in the soil, Pratylenchus was highly abundant i.e. 60 nematodes/10 g roots.
