Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Risk Factors among Sellers at Congolenses Market in Luanda, Angola

Introduction: At least two-thirds of cardiovascular deaths currently occur in lowand middle-income countries, bringing a double burden of disease to poor and developing world economies. Hypertension (HTN) is by far the commonest underlying risk factor for cardiovascular disease and increasing physical activity prevents hypertension. Objective: To assess physical activity and blood pressure levels among sellers of the Congolenses market in Luanda, Angola. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample including 296 individuals (198 men and 98 women). Anthropometric and clinical data, clinical history of CVD, tobacco and alcohol consumption were collected. Physical activity was assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The t-test for independent samples and Mann-Whitney test were used to compare variables between the groups. Bivariate correlation and multivariable analysis were performed to evaluate the association between the variables. Statistical significance was set at 5%. Results: The two groups were similar for most variables, except for the age group in which group 1 (sedentary and irregularly active) had higher mean age compared to group 2 (37.2 ± 11.1 vs. 34.1 ± 10.2, p = 0.018). Among all hypertensive patients (95 out of 296 participants, 32.1%), only 43 (45.3%) were aware of their condition and of them 21 (48.8%) were taking medication and only 7 (33.3%) had their blood pressure under control. There was a negative correlation between physical activity and the blood pressure level with group 2 showing lower BP levels. Conclusion: Lower levels of physical activity were associated with higher blood pressure levels among sellers at the market.

The Five Major Factors in the Personality and its Relationship to the Attachment Patterns Among the Students of the College of Law, Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, AL-KHOBAR

The Major factors of personality are groups of methods on how the individual interacts with others. Individual variance refers to thoughts, manner, feeling, behavior, mostly described as pattern that capable of measurement such as instance neuroticism, extroversion, kindness, conscientiousness, openness on experiences. There are many specified factors for personality, including genetics, environmental factors and age. Therefore, individual personality plays important role in its ability to interact with living pressures and know the role that better suitable to the legal personality. Hence ,the study aims to identify the relation between attachment patterns and the five major factors for personality, in order to facilitate understanding the personality among college of law students at Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, in AlKhobar ,Eastern Province, and to reveal the relation between attachment patterns and the five major factors for personality (neuroticism, extroversion, (Kindness), Conscientiousness, openness on experiences ) and the variance between study sample in the attachment patterns according to gender of (Sex, academic level) which help to determine the features of law students personality, and predict their behavior lately, benefit of their abilities as best according to their active role in establishing justice values and build the virtue. To achieve the objective of the study the researcher has applied the reference of the attachment patterns from (Abo-Ghazalah, Jardan 2009) and the five major factors for personality from (Al-Ansari, 2007) applied to random sample of (226) male and female students. The descriptive analytical approach was used. The results of the study are. The presence of an inverse negative correlation and statistically significant at the level (0.05) or less, between neuroticism and safe attachment. There were no statistically significant differences at the level of statistical significance (0.05) or less in the responses of the study sample individuals about (patterns of attachment) to the difference between the sex variable. The absence of statistically significant differences at the level of statistical significance (0.05) or less in the responses of the study sample individuals about (styles of attachment) according to the variable of the academic level. Relying on these results, researcher recommend the importance of educating parents and families about unsafe attachment patterns, as well as recommending the need to increase students' awareness through workshops and training courses, and to clarify the importance of normal personality factors.
The Moral Relationality of Professionalism Discourses: The Case of Corporate Social Responsibility Practitioners in South Korea

Building a coherent discourse on professionalism is a challenge for corporate social responsibility (CSR) practitioners, as there is not yet an established knowledge basis for CSR, and CSR is a contested notion that covers a wide variety of issues and moral foundations. Relying on insights from the literature on micro-CSR, new professionalism, and Boltanski and Thévenot’s (1991/2006) economies of worth framework, we examine the discourses of 56 CSR practitioners in South Korea on their claimed professionalism. Our analysis delineates four distinct discourses of CSR professionalism—strategic corporate giving, social innovation, risk management, and sustainability transition—that are derived from a plurality of more or less compatible moral foundations whose partial overlaps and tensions we document in a systematic manner. Our results portray these practitioners as compromise makers who selectively combine morally distant justifications to build their own specific professionalism discourse, with the aim to advance CSR within and across organizations. By uncovering the moral relationality connecting these discourses, our findings show that moral pluralism is a double-edged sword that can not only bolster the justification of CSR professionalism but also threaten collective professionalism at the field level. Overall, our study suggests paying more attention to the moral relationality and tensions that underlie professional fields.
FISH SIDE-STREAM AS A POTENTIAL PEPTONE PRODUCTION: TOWARDS ZERO WASTE FISH PROCESSING

Fish processing plants generated significant side-streams composing of heads, skins, trimmings, frames, and guts, which estimated for 70-85% of raw-fish materials during fillet and surimi production. These pose a serious impact to terrestrial and aquatic environments due to the abundance of organic content. Treating side-streams, on the other hand, would impact on financial burden of the fish processing industries. Therefore, an attempt is necessary to convert fish side-streams into value-added products. This is not only to reduce financial burden but also in accordance with the 12th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) which support zero-waste processing concept. One of the promising products from fish side-streams is peptone. Peptone, a protein hydrolysate characterized as non heat-coagulable and water-soluble product, extensively used in microbiological media. As microbial growth accelerating media, fish peptone could be a precursor for beneficial metabolic products, such as antimicrobial peptides and other bioactive compounds. This review highlights the isolation of peptone from fish processing side-streams specifically the extraction and characterization. In addition, the metabolite productions from lactic acid bacteria with fish peptonesupplemented media are also covered.
In Vitro Stiumlation of Ergosterol from Coelastrella Terrestris by Using Squalene and Studying Antioxidant Effect

Ergosterol is one of the most important chemicals produced by algae, specifically by microalgae, and the Squalene is the commonly known as a precursor for biosynthesis of ergosterol. Coelastrella terrestris was isolated from sediment sample collected from the banks of Tigris River and the modified Chu 10 culture medium was used for algal growth and determining the optimum growth condition (25) °C and 268 μE. mˉ2. secˉ1). In an attempt to further maximize ergosterol production by C. terrestris. The optimal temperature and light growth conditions 30 oC and 300 μE. mˉ2. secˉ1 were tested under of different Squalene concentrations treatments (0.1, 0.25, 0.5 and 1٪). This combined treatment of optimal culture conditions and Squalene was caused an extremely a highest ergosterol production recorded (533.3 ± 15.92 ppm) at 1% squalene in phase 2, while the lowest production (54.3 ± 2.48ppm) was at 0.10% Squalene in phase3. The present study has further investigated the potential antioxidant activity of C. terrestis crude extract and ergosteoleby the ability to scavenging free radical 2.2 diphenyl-1-picrylhydrzyl (DPPH). The results observed that antioxidant activity of algal crude extract was lower antioxidant as compared with the ergosterol and ascorbic acid (control), whereas antioxidant activity reached to 100% when used with crud extract the concentration (2000 μg/ml), ergosterol (50 μg/ml) and ascorbic acid (150 μg/ml). This study concluded that selectively combined culture conditions of 30oC and 300 μE. mˉ2. secˉ1 could maximize the biomass of the newly recorded C. terristris and production of ergosterol. This study is the first test of the ability of C. terristris to produce ergosterol and antioxidant activity.

Corporate governance is the set of rules governing the relations between business owners, managers and investors. With corporate governance, it is aimed that enterprises provide full, accurate and open information to their stakeholders and increase transparency. Basic principles of corporate governance are fairness, public disclosure and transparency, accountability and responsibility. In order to determine the securities prices in the market in a healthy way, to ensure equal opportunity in terms of information sharing among investors and to create an effective market, all kinds of information about the enterprise should be disclosed to the public in a timely manner. Timely public disclosure of all important information about the business helps stakeholders to make the right decision. In this study, public disclosure and transparency sections of corporate governance compliance reports of enterprises which have an important place in national economy are examined. Within the scope of the study, corporate governance compliance reports of the enterprises in the restaurants and hotels sector registered in Borsa Istanbul were examined and it was determined whether the principles of public disclosure and transparency were complied with. As a result of the research, it was determined that most of the enterprises within the scope of the study comply with the principle of public disclosure and transparency within the framework of the principles determined by the Capital Markets Board.
Morphology-based losses for weakly supervised segmentation of mammograms

Segmentation is one of the most common tasks in medical imaging, but it often requires expensive ground truth for training. Weakly supervised methods cope with the lack of annotations, however, they often fall short compared to fully supervised ones. In this work, we propose to constrain the segmentation output with morphological operations, leading to an increase in the overall performance. In particular, we use top-hat and closing operations. We evaluate the method on high-resolution images from INBreast dataset and achieve an increase in F 1 of ≈ 0 . 14 and in recall of ≈ 0 . 22 compared to the training without morphology loss.
Highly Integrated Active Ankle-Prosthesis powered by an Optimized Lead-Screw Mechanism

—Active ankle prostheses represent a ﬁeld of growing interest for both industrial and academic researchers. The need of more functional devices, combined with the need of com- pact, light-weight and energy-efﬁcient systems set a challenge to prosthesis designers. In this work, the authors try to give a solution to this problem by proposing a novel design of a lead-screw based active ankle prosthesis. The adopted approach aimed at optimizing the overall volume and weight of the actuating unit, while at the same time keeping the capability to satisfy both stance and swing phase requirements. A preliminary experimental evaluation has been carried out on a healthy subject to demonstrate the capabilities of the developed device in terms of stance braking torque and swing foot ﬂexion.
Integrated Management of South American Tomato Leaf Miner [Tuta Absoluta (Meyrick)]: A Review

Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is one of the newly introduced insect pest of tomato in Nepal, which was first detected by Entomology Division, Nepal Agricultural Research Council from a commercial tomato grower of Balaju, Kathmandu on 16th May 2016. The pest occurs all-round the year within the temperature range of 20-27° C, and therefore, the environment of mid hills and plains of Nepal is suitable for sustaining the pest except during the winter season. T. absoluta pest mainly attacks Solanaceous crops, especially evident in tomato, however, it is also found in non-solanaceous crops. Larva of the pest is devastating causing damage in fruit, leaves and stem, and reducing tomato production by 80-100% in open field as well as in plastic house, if no control measures are carried out. Chemicals, like Spinosad, Chlorantraniliprole and Novaluron are recommended in Nepal for controlling this pest, but studies have revealed the inefficacy of chemical control measures due to wide host range, faster reproducing ability and development of pesticide resistance. Therefore, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) with mass trapping of the pest using pheromone trap, biological control by predator, parasitoid, entomopathogenic microbes, including cultural practices are imperative for the effective control of this pest.
A Low Vitamin A Diet Decreases Skeletal Muscle Performance

Vitamin A (retinol) is an essential lipid-soluble vitamin important for a number of biological functions. In mice, reduction of its dietary content by substituting standard rodent chow with a chow containing 5 times less vitamin A and feeding mice for three generations with this modified diet, results in the depletion of all-transretinoic acid. In the present study we investigated if the low vitamin A diet affects skeletal muscle function. Mice fed the low vitamin A diet ran significantly less and at a slower speed compared to age matched chow fed mice. The specific force and Ca2+ transients developed upon delivery of a train of pulses, as well as glycogen stores were reduced in muscles from low vitamin A diet fed mice. Furthermore, slow twitch muscles from low vitamin A fed mice fatigued more rapidly and exhibited a higher degree of protein oxidation after electrical stimulation. In summary, these results demonstrate that a chronically low vitamin A diet negatively impacts skeletal muscle function.
PARTICIPATORY LEARNING MODEL ON ADULTS LITERACY EDUCATION OF RURAL COMMUNITIES

This research aimed to analyze and to describe participatory learning model on adults literacy education learning group of rural communities. Participatory learning model involves the learners actively in planning, implementing, and evaluating the learning.

Environment as learning media is characterized with local design and local context. The analysis was conducted using qualitative analysis technique. The research was taken place in Semarang Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The subject of research consisted of learners, tutor, and learning group organizer. The data was collected using interview, observation, and documentation techniques. The data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative technique encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The result of research shows that (1) participatory learning model can improve basic literacy, communication, and interaction of learners with full participation, increase experience, and functional skill of learners to improve their daily life, and (2) environmental media characterized with local potency, local context, and local design serving as the learning source can improve learning motivation, as indicated with the sustainably behavioural change among the learners. The application of participatory learning model can improve affective, cognitive, and psychomotor ability of adult literacy education learners in rural community in meeting their demand and productive need development.
STOCK PRICE PREDICTION USING LSTM, RNN

Stock market trading is the one of the most important activity in the finance world. Normally in order to predict the market, investors used to analyze stock price and indicators using news related to these stocks. Previously work in industry was focused on classifying the news related to stocks price as positive, negative and neutral and demonstrating the effect on stock price. In this paper we propose automated trading system that integrates mathematical functions, machine learning and other external factors that will be trained from the available stocks data then uses the acquired knowledge for an accurate stock closing price prediction. The programming language is used to predict the stock market using machine learning is Python. To achieve this goal, this project uses Deep Learning models, Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network algorithm, to forecast stock prices. For data with timeframes recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and also Linear Regression and K-Nearest Neighbor are used to compare their efficiencies with each other.
The Effects of the Different Approaches of Measuring Size of Nanocrystalline Materials on their Thermodynamic Properties

The intrinsic influence of the bonding energy on thermodynamic properties of nanocrystalline materials deformed by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) invested to study the increase in energy on property. A unique method was proposed to compute the thermal properties of nanomaterials size variants during ARB. The interrelation between thermodynamic and mechanical properties during ARB was analyzed based on different approaches of measuring size. The following facts were theoretically derived. It was shown that as time increases during grain refinement the energy variation in the material increases. It was also shown that the evolution of size and increase in energy in the material during grain refinement is similar to the Hall Petch and Reverse Hall Petch relationship during ARB.

The proposed architecture is validated by performing real-world grasping and pick and place experiments. Our framework achieved a success rate of over 85.6% on the pick and place task of seen surgical tools and 90% on unseen surgical tools.
Diagnostic Concordance of Cytology and Histology in Samples Obtained via Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Biopsy (EUS-FNB)

Introduction Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration and biopsy (FNA/FNB) to obtain cytological aspirates and histological core samples, respectively, are the standard of care for diagnosing lesions in/adjacent to the upper/lower gastrointestinal tract. Due to the lack of standardization of tissue processing, it is unclear whether core samples should be sent only for histology (formalin) or cytology (CytoLyt), or both. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic concordance rates between cytology and histology on EUS-FNB core samples. Methods A total of 227 patients underwent EUS-FNB between October-2017 and February-2019 by a single therapeutic endoscopist; 44 core-tissue samples (41 patients) were placed alternately in CytoLyt (cytology) and formalin (histology), with equal passes into each, to best achieve a proportionate sample amount. The patient's demographics, medical history, pertinent imaging, EUS indication/findings were reviewed. Main outcomes included concordance rates between cytology-histology and diagnostic accuracy for malignancy. Results Cytology and histology were discordant in five cases (11.5%); four with negative cytology but a definite diagnosis of malignancy achieved with histology. One case was suspected as neoplasm on cytology but further characterized as benign on histology. Cytology failed to sub-characterize an additional four mass-like pancreatic benign entities, due to inadequate tissue architecture assessment in the CytoLyt sample. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of cytology for diagnosis of malignancy were 87.88% (95%CI: 71.8-96.6), 90.91% (95%CI: 58.7-99.7), 96.67% (95%CI: 81.6-99.4), and 71.43% (95%CI: 49.4-86.4). Discussion We observed 11.5% diagnostic discordance between cytology and histology on EUS-FNB core samples, with histology being superior. Future multicenter prospective randomized studies are needed to establish an accurate and cost-effective diagnostic process.
Emotion and Empirical Aesthetics

The rise in neuroaesthetics laboratories across the globe has led to scores of experiments designed to grasp people’s emotional, cognitive and perceptual responses to artworks, yet few researchers have studied spectators experiencing visual art in actual exhibitions. In 2015, Volker Kirchberg and Martin Tröndle published the results of their five-year experiment, whereby they mapped the physiological, social, psychological and aesthetic experiences of ‘600 diverse persons with a designed exhibition of classic modern and contemporary art as part of the Swiss national research project eMotion’. Their study’s most counter-intuitive discovery is the negligible role played by emotional response for those most engaged with artworks, that is, those spectators who regularly assess, evaluate and judge artworks. Given that not all appreciative attitudes reflect emotional responses, this paper argues that it would behoove researchers to study artworks that literally ‘move us’, causing us to take action, shift perspectives and adopt new values.
Enhanced mechanical properties of HfO2 film by nitrogen doping

The chemical composition, structure and mechanical properties of hafnium oxide films with different nitrogen constituents were investigated. X-ray photoelectron spectrum analysis showed that nitrogen atoms acted as oxygen substitution and interstitial atoms. The crystalline features exhibited no change during nitrogen doping. Nevertheless, the films with high compressive stress displayed significantly enhanced mechanical properties. The enhanced mechanism could mainly be attributed to the dislocation obstacle motion by inserting nitrogen atoms.
