Antimikrobiyal dirençli Escherichia coli’de geniş spektrumlu β-laktamaz direncinin araştırılması
Authors: CENGİZ Murat , İBRAHİMLİ Ulvi
Published: April 2020

Escherichia coli (E. coli) insan ve hayvanlarda birçok enfeksiyona neden olan önemli mikroorganizmalardan biridir. E. coli’nin neden olduğu enfeksiyonların tedavisinde β-laktamların sık kullanılması β-laktam direncinin gelişmesi bakımından önemli bir nedendir. β-laktamazlar, β-laktam direncinin bilinen mekanizmalarından biridir ve geniş spektrumlu β-laktamazlar (GSBL) yüksek morbidite ve mortaliteden sorumludur. Bu çalışmanın konuları, GSBL varlığının araştırılması ve GSBL ile diğer birçok antimikrobiyal bileşiğe karşı direnç ilişkisinin değerlendirilmesidir. Bu çalışmada β-laktam direncini belirlemek için disk difüzyon ile broth mikrodilüsyon testleri kullanıldı ve direncin genotiplendirmesi için blaSHV geninin varlığını araştırıldı. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre 112 E. coli izolatının sadece bir tanesi GSBL pozitif olarak tanımlandı. Ayrıca, broth mikrodilüsyon test sonuçlarına göre 18 izolatın seftazidime ve 32 izolatın ise sefotaksime karşı dirençli olduğu belirlendi. E. coli izolatlarının hiçbirinde blaSHV geni tespit edilemedi. Sonuç olarak E. coli izolatlarının β-laktamlara karşı dirençli olabileceği, ancak GSBL pozitif izolatların ve GSBL ile diğer antimikrobiyal bileşiklere karşı direncin birlikte görülme sıklığının çok düşük olduğu belirlendi.
Epitome und Erzählung. Die Rekapitulationen am Ende der Odyssee
Authors: Grethlein Jonas
Published: April 2020

The article interprets the two summaries at the end of the Odyssey, namely Odysseus’ narration of his adventures in book 23 and Amphimedon’s account of the events on Ithaca in book 24, as embedded epitomes. The interpretation highlights the complexity of the Odyssey’s ending and explores the hermeneutic and temporal dimensions of epitomizing, which, it is suggested, are closely linked to cognitive processes.

Contrasting RNN-based and simulation-based models of human physical parameter inference
Authors: Otero Mediero Héctor , Bramley Neil R
Published: April 2020

A number of recent studies have used ideal observer models to capture human physical learning and reasoning as based on approximate mental simulation. While these approaches can match human competence in specific tasks, they are still relatively far from cognitive plausibility and are limited in their ability to capture patterns of human errors. In the current work, we train a recurrent neural network on the same physical reasoning task explored in Bramley, Gerstenberg, Tenenbaum, and Gureckis (2018) (passive condition), finding a closer match to human patterns than the ideal observer model previously used to make sense of the human judgement patterns.
Causal explanations, error rates, and human judgment biases missing from the COVID-19 narrative and statistics
Authors: Fenton Norman , Hitman Graham A , Neil Martin , Osman Magda , McLachlan Scott
Published: April 2020

A person is labelled as having COVID-19 infection either from a positive PCR-based diagnostic test, or by a health professional’s assessment of the clinical picture in a process described by some as symptom screening. There is considerable fragility in the resulting data as both of these methods are susceptible to human biases in judgment and decision-making. In this article we show the value of a casual representation that maps out the relations between observed and inferred evidence of contamination, in order to expose what is lacking and what is needed to reduce the uncertainty in classifying an individual as infected with COVID-19.

Ventricular Assist Devices are blood pumps used in patients with Congestive Heart Failure who are waiting for a heart transplant. They aim to assist the ventricle to pump out blood in physiological circulation by increasing aortic pressure and decreasing intraventricular pressure. The IFSP Laboratory of Bioengineering and Biomaterials (BIOENG) has been developing an Implantable Centrifugal Blood Pump called CARoL for mechanical circulatory support. The objective of this dissertation is to evaluate the changes in the crystallinity of the polymeric Pivot Bearings supporting the impeller of this pump when subjected to friction generated by rotation of zirconia oxide ceramic shafts. The adopted methodology consisted of submitting new and used samples of: a) bearings set made of polyamide 6; and b) the set made of poly-ether-ether-ketone. Those new and used samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction tests and Infrared Spectroscopy. The diffractograms and spectra obtained were compared to evaluate the bearing crystallinity, for both polymers before and after friction. The tests carried out showed diffractograms and similar spectra for the new and used samples, thus, there are indications that the friction generated by the rotation of the shafts did not change the crystallinity of the polymeric bearings supporting the pump rotor.

Published: April 2020

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) with MYC rearrangement (MYC-R) is rare and little is known about the importance of MYC extra copies (EC) in the absence of MYC-R in MCL patients. This study includes 88 MCL patients with MYC tested by fluorescence in situ hybridization and/or conventional cytogenetics, including 27 with MYC-R, 21 with MYC-EC, and 40 with normal (NL) MYC. MCL patients with MYC-R more often had blastoid/pleomorphic morphology; a higher frequency of CD10, MYC, and simultaneous MYC and BCL2 expression; a higher level of MYC; and a higher Ki67 proliferation rate (p<0.05) than those without MYC-R. Although patients with MYC-R more frequently received aggressive chemotherapy (p=0.001), their overall survival (OS) was significantly shorter than those without MYC-R. Compared with patients with MYC/BCL2 double hit lymphoma (DHL), patients with MYC-R MCL had a similar OS but more commonly had bone marrow involvement, stage 4 disease, and a different immunophenotype. MCL patients with MYC-EC showed an OS intermediate between those with MYC-R and MYC-NL, either all or only blastoid/pleomorphic MCL patients included. Multivariate analysis showed that MYC-R, but not MYC-EC, had an independent and negative impact on OS. In conclusion, MYC-R but not MYC-EC showed a higher MYC expression and is an adverse prognostic factor for MCL patients. Although the OS of MCL patients with MYC-R is similar to that of MYC/BCL2 DHL patients, these groups have different clinicopathologic features supporting the retention of MCL with MYC-R in the category of MCL, as recommended in the revised World Health Organization classification.
Effect of rearing density on reproduction and embryogenesis of zebrafish Danio rerio (Hamilton, 1922)
Authors: Rabbane Md Golam , Rahman Md Mizanur , Kabir Md Alamgir , Faruque Md Hasan
Published: April 2020

Effect of rearing density (5, 15, 25, 35 and 45 fish/l2) on reproductive performances such as spawning success, fertilization rate, hatching rate and embryogenesis in terms of per cent survival rate of embryos at cleavage, gastrula, segmentation, pharyngula and hatching were evaluated. Survival, hatching, fertilization rate and per cent survivability of embryos did not differ significantly between the treatments 1, 2 and 3, but showed significant difference (p < 0.05) between 4 and 5. Treatment three (25 fish/l2) had five-folds higher number of successful progeny than treatment one. Results suggest that 25 fish/l2 can be used as optimum rearing density.

Effects of long term exposure to aluminium stress on the accumulation and distribution of K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+ and Clin rice and chickpea plants
Authors: Samad Rifat , Rashid Parveen , Karmoker JL
Published: April 2020

Sand culture experiments were undertaken to examine the effect of increasing aluminium levels (50-150 μM) on the mineral nutrients uptake (K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+ and Cl-). Increasing concentrations of Al inhibited the uptake of K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Fe2+ but enhanced that of Na+ and Cl- in the root and shoot of rice, and the root, stem and leaves of chickpea. 150 μM Al caused a maximum inhibition of K+ accumulation in the root and shoot of rice ranging from 25.5 to 49.0% and 33 to 55.5%, respectively, from 7 to 28 day of treatment. In the root, stem and leaves of chickpea, 150 μM Al inhibited K+ content by 23.9 to 84.0%, 13.2 to 54.4% and 25.3 to 61.2%, respectively, from 7 to 28 day of application. On the contrary, a dramatic 2.7 to 3.1-folds and 70.8% to 2.3-folds stimulation of Na+ accumulation was recorded in the root of rice and chickpea, respectively, following 100 μM Al treatment from 7 to 28 day of treatment. Different concentrations of aluminium led to a stimulation of Cl- accumulation in different parts of rice and chickpea plants. In rice and chickpea plants, the inhibitory effect of aluminium stress on the accumulation of Ca2+, Mg2+ and Fe2+ was enhanced with the increase in Al concentration from 50 to 150 μM.

Published: April 2020

To identify the gut bacteria of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (striped catfish; Pangas) using classical and molecular approach was carried out. Total bacterial count (TBC) in the gut of pangas from farm and market samples were found 5.07 ± 1.70 × 106 and 1.40 ± 0.47 × 106 cfu/g, respectively. The gut microbiota of pangas was dominated by members of the Gram-negative genera. Only three isolates (MyF1/1, MyF1/4 and GaW1/2) were found to be Gram-positive among the 16 representative isolates. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing; Bacillus, Macrococcus, Citrobacter, Aeromonas, Proteus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Escherichia and Edwardsiella were found to be associated with the gut of this fish. Among them, Aeromonas was the most dominant genus (5 out of 16). Antibiotic sensitivity pattern reflected that all the isolates were sensitive to gentamycin. Multiple antibiotics resistant isolates were also identified of which MyF3/13 (identified as Citrobacter amalonaticus) was found resistant against seven tested antibiotics. The presence of pathogenic bacteria in fish gut revealed the improper handling practices in fish market and unhygienic condition in the culture sites which might be a reason of fish-borne disease outbreaks. On the other hand, widespread use of various antibiotics in aquaculture without proper awareness may lead to resistance to multiple antibiotics.

Published: April 2020

The study was carried out to assess the present status of fish biodiversity in Dekar haor and livelihood of fishermen living around the haor under Sunamganj district during 12 months from September 2015 to August 2016. Monthly fish samples were collected from the catches of fishermen and identified based on meristic and morphometric characteristics. A total of 51 fish species belonging to 34 genera along with two prawn species under 19 families was found. Among them catfishes were most abundant. The values of Shannon-Weiner diversity (H′), Margalef’s richness (d), Pielou’s evenness indices (J′) and Simpson dominance indices (c) ranged from 3.36-3.78, 6.12-8.40, 0.98- 0.99 and 0.97-0.98, respectively. Livelihood data were collected through direct interview from randomly selected 73 fishermen. Main occupation of fishermen is fishing. There were three age groups such as young (18-35 years), middle (36-45 years) and old group (above 46 years) where young group was mostly involved in fishing. Most of the fishermen (72.61%) were Muslims and 63% were able to sign only followed by others. Annual income of fishermen varied from Tk. 10,000-100,000. Majority of them had low savings with poor housing and sanitation facilities. Maximum fishers are interested to live in unit family owing to low income. Results of this study imply that fish diversity status was not satisfactory. Also livelihood condition of fishers was not so good. Therefore, appropriate measures should be taken to improve the livelihood of fishermen and to protect the bio-diversity of the haor.

Comparative Study of the Changes in Climatic Condition and Seasonal Drought in North-Western Part of Bangladesh
Authors: Khan Riaz Hossain , Islam Mohammad Saiful
Published: April 2020

The study examines the long-term and seasonal climatic variations in north-western part of Bangladesh (NWPB). Long-term variation of different climatic parameters reveals that significant increases in temperature are associated with decreasing evaporation which could be attributed to wind speed variation and seasonal variation of temperature. Increase of monsoon rainfall during monsoon period and scarcity or absence of rainfall during dry periods increase the region’s vulnerability to monsoon flood and seasonal drought, respectively. The area witnesses a single peak of rainfall in July during the first half of the study period (1964-1985), whereas the same experiences bimodal peak of rainfall during July and September in the second half of the study period (1986-2007). This may signify the changes of climatic condition in the studied area. Annual variability of rainfall as well as the unpredictable shifting of rainfall periods might be a possible reason for the seasonal drought. The aridity index indicates that the overall dryness of the area has increased during winter season. The study shows that humidity increases at all stations throughout the year. The study also shows that long-term seasonal variation of both surface and groundwater level is also prominent. Gradual decrease of surface water level was observed in Teesta River which might be due to unilateral withdrawal of surface water in the upper riparian. Detailed investigation on hydrometeorology of the study area is required to see whether there is any trend of climate change in the area.

Accurate detection of the amphibian fungal pathogenBatrachochytrium dendrobatidis(Bd) is critical for wildlife disease research; however, false negatives in detection do occur. Here we compared different DNA extraction methods to determine the threshold forBddetection and identify an optimal extraction method to improve detection and quantification of the pathogen. We extracted both lab-created cell suspension standards using PrepMan Ultra, Chelex resin, and 3 spin column DNA extraction kits (Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue, Zymo Quick DNA miniprep, and IBI gMAX mini kit), and further compared extraction methods using field-collected samples. We found that when extractingBdDNA from cells in lab-created culture, the spin column extraction methods and PrepMan Ultra were equivalent, while the resin method detected higherBdDNA quantities, especially at higher loads. However, when swabs from live animals were analyzed, lowBdquantities were more than twice as likely to be detected using a spin column extraction than with the PrepMan Ultra extraction method. All tested spin column extraction methods performed similarly across both field and lab samples. Samples containing lowBdquantities yielded inconsistent detection and quantification ofBdDNA copies regardless of extraction method. To manage imperfect detection ofBd, we suggest that presence/absence analyses are more informative than attempting to quantifyBdDNA when quantities are low. Overall, we recommend that a cost-benefit analysis of target species susceptibility and epidemiology be taken into consideration when designing an experiment to determine the most appropriate DNA extraction method to be used, because sometimes detecting lowBdquantities is imperative to the study, whereas in other situations, detecting low DNA quantities is less important.

Amoebic gill disease (AGD), caused by the marine amoeba Paramoeba perurans, is an important disease of farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. in Norway. The use of wrasse as cleaner fish in salmon net pens raises questions about interspecies transmission of pathogens such as P. perurans. In this study, cohabitant transmission of clonal isolates of P. perurans between Atlantic salmon and ballan wrasse Labrus bergylta Ascanius was examined, using isolates originating from both salmon and wrasse. The challenges resulted in AGD in both species, although less severely in wrasse. The amoeba isolate originating from ballan wrasse was more virulent than that originating from salmon, suggesting P. perurans strain-related virulence differences. The isolate originating from salmon showed limited proliferation in bath-challenged wrasse and salmon, and limited transfer to cohabitants. Our results support previous observations suggesting that salmon may be more susceptible to P. perurans and AGD than ballan wrasse. Treatment of P. perurans infection in wrasse is challenging, as it is a strictly marine fish species. In this study, brackish water (<15‰ seawater) treatment of AGD affected salmon and wrasse was examined. Both salmon and wrasse were treated for short periods (3 h and 24 h), and treatment of wrasse over longer periods (3-5 d) was also examined. Short exposure to brackish water was not enough to remove P. perurans, although the 24 h treatment reduced amoeba levels. It was not possible to culture or detect P. perurans from wrasse exposed to brackish water for 3 d, suggesting that this treatment would be effective in controlling the parasite.
Navigating Apocalyptic Affects: Generating Posthuman Cartographies of Resistance to Capitalist Realism
Authors: Carstens Delphi
Published: April 2020

Humans find themselves inhabiting an uncanny milieu of accelerated cultural transition, uncertainty, and geopolitical crisis. The transformation of human and nonhuman worlds in the wake of technological progress narratives have raised troubling ontological spectres. ‘How’, for instance, ‘do we conceive of being when the distinction between organic and machinic dissolves, when reality is folded into virtuality, [when] the body is morphed by technology, and [when] computer networks digitise knowledge?’ (Davis 1994: 1). As material relational agents, technological media leave phenomenological traces in the bodies they penetrate. ‘How do they touch us … do they merely reflect off our skin [and] the surface of our internal organs?’ ( Dunne 2005 :107). Electromagnetic frequencies that infiltrate somatic realms are accompanied by other affective vibrations too. This article explores the apocalyptic affects that jump between bodies entangled with technological media and in digital networks. It explores the ontological, epistemological, phenomenological, and ethical residues of such dark affective entanglements while positing how they might be harnessed in pedagogical practices that aim to work toward more affirmative somatechnical relations. It constitutes a theoretical/experimental exploration of the pedagogical value of affect theory in the context of progress-driven apocalyptic unease and seeks ways in which the sensibilities of fear and alienation constructed around the speeds and atmospheres of spectacular media culture might be productively wielded in Higher Education pedagogy as weapons of transformation.
A Chemical Love Story: Considering Microdosing as Somatechnic Individuation Vis-à-Vis the Philosophy of Simondon
Authors: Gray Chantelle
Published: April 2020

Research shows that due to rapidly changing higher education contexts, large numbers of academics are overworked, stressed, and dispirited. This is exacerbated by the fact that most academics do not view academia simply as work, but as a vocation. To deal with these conditions, the use of cognitive modification and enhancement drugs have become far more prevalent than used to be the case. In this article, I look at the phenomenon of microdosing as a somatechnics of knowledge production to think about how meanings of ‘development’ are changing and to what extent they are still related to narratives of progress, themselves deeply embedded in colonial, State, and capitalist apparatuses that blind us to the rich entanglements spread across multiple temporal and neuronal rhythms. I also ask how we can think philosophically about microdosing as a somatechnics of knowledge production vis-à-vis the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon (1924–1989). Especially of interest to me is his theorisation of ontogenesis in which beings and other aspects of life, including technicity, emerge/individ uate as dimensions of the entirety of being/life without affording primacy to human individ uality. I thus bring to light the value of Simondon's work to somatechnics and use it to critically examine the role of cognitive modification and enhancement methods in higher education, especially as pertains to microdosing.

There is a significant increase in industrial activities due to the increasing population and demand. Textile and dye industries are also important groups of these industrial fields. In these fields, high amounts of dyes are used. After dyeing process, 10-15% of dyes are discharged into wastewaters. Existence of dyes in wastewaters is an undesired condition because they cause lots of diseases on living beings and also various problems on aquatic and terrestrial environments. Because disperse dyes do not show ionization in aquatic environments, they generally tend to bioaccumulation. Conventional biological wastewater treatment systems are not efficient for color removal of dyes. In this study, bacterial decolorization, which is an environmentally friendly and effective method, was investigated. For this aim, a thermophilic (Bacillus firmus) and a mesophilic bacterium (Bacillus subtilis) were tested in the color removal of various Foron textile dyes, a group of disperse dyes, such as Foron Brown (FB), Foron Black (FBL), Foron Turquoise (FT), Foron Violet (FV) and Foron Red (FR). The tested dyes (200 mg/L) were incubated with Bacillus species under the shaking condition for 24 h at various temperatures. Colors of all the dyes were efficiently removed by both bacterial species at the end of 24 h of incubation. The highest color removal rates of FB, FBL, FT, FV and FR treated with B. firmus were about 63, 87, 56, 77 and 74%, respectively. The maximum decolorization percentages of the same dyes incubated with B. subtilis were determined as 69, 80, 55, 73 and 59%, respectively.

The drought tolerance and capacity to recover after drought are important for plant growth and yield. In this study, two maize lines with different drought resistance were used to investigate the effects of different drought durations and subsequent re-watering on photosynthetic capacity, electron transfer and energy distribution, and antioxidative defense mechanisms of maize. Under short drought, maize plants decreased stomatal conductance and photosynthetic electron transport rate, and increased NPQ (Non-photochemical quenching) to dissipate excess excitation energy in time and protect the photosynthetic apparatus. With the increased drought duration, NPQ, antioxidase activity, PItotal (total performance index), ∆I/Io, ψEo (quantum yield for electron transport), φEo (efficiency/probability that an electron moves further than QA−), δRo (efficiency/probability with which an electron from the intersystem electron carriers is transferred to reduce end electron acceptors at the PSI acceptor side) and φRo (the quantum yield for the reduction of the end electron acceptors at the PSI acceptor side) were significantly reduced, while Y(NO) (quantum yield of nonregulated energy dissipation) and MDA (malondialdehyde) began to quickly increase. The photosynthetic rate and capacity of photosynthetic electron transport could not recover to the level of the plants subjected to normal water status after re-watering. These findings indicated that long drought damaged the PSI (photosystem I) and PSII (photosystem II) reaction center and decreased the electron transfer efficiency, and this damage could not be recovered by re-watering. Different drought resistance and recovery levels of photosynthetic performance were achieved by different maize lines. Compared with D340, D1798Z had higher NPQ and antioxidase activity, which was able to maintain functionality for longer in response to progressive drought, and it could also recover at more severe drought after re-watering, which indicated its higher tolerance to drought. It was concluded that the capacity of the energy dissipation and antioxidant enzyme system is crucial to mitigate the effects caused by drought, and the capacity to recover after re-watering was dependent on the severity and persistence of drought, adaptability, and recovery differences of the maize lines. The results provide a profound insight to understand the maize functional traits’ responses to drought stresses and re-watering.

Sustainability of agricultural practices depends on economic, environmental, and social conditions. The Rajasthan state of India has arid climatic conditions where kharif crops are commonly grown. In this work, the four major criteria are considered such as the farm area, crop yield per unit area, the cost prices, and the market sales price. Merged analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy techniques have been employed to give reasonable weight coefficients for the objective and subjective weights to each criterion. Multiple attribute-based decision-making models (MADM) have been developed using three proven techniques, namely the Exprom2, the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), and the VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR). The crop Pennisetum glaucum emerged as the most productive kharif crop in the arid climatic conditions of Rajasthan, India under the given criteria. The sensitivity analysis of the three methods identifies the most significant criteria and validates that Pennisetum glaucum is the first ranked crop despite the interchange of the weights. The methodology used in this study may be applied across the globe to select appropriate crops for maximizing the profit, optimizing the natural resources, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. This study may be used to enhance the agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) to make the agriculturalists self-sufficient and to help the state policymakers in making effective regional policies.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common healthcare-associated infections. The appropriate use of Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis (SAP) is a key component to reduce SSIs, while its inappropriate application is a major cause of some emerging infections and selects for antibiotic resistance. We describe an Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) intervention on SAP appropriateness. The prospective study was conducted in an Italian hospital, in 12 main surgical units, and was organized in three subsequent phases, as follows. Phase 0: Definition of hospital evidence-based guidelines and a new workflow to optimize the process of ordering, dispensing, administering and documenting the SAP. Phase 1: We analysed 2059 elective surgical cases from January to June 2018 for three SAP parameters of appropriateness: indication, choice and dose. Phase 2: In July 2018, an audit was performed to analyse the results; we reviewed 1781 elective surgical procedures from July to December 2018 looking for the same three SAP appropriateness parameters. The comparative analysis between phases 1 and 2 demonstrated that the correct indication, the correct dose and the overall compliance significantly improved (p-value 0.00128, p-value < 2.2·1016 and p-value < 5.6·1012 respectively). Our prospective study demonstrates a model of successful antimicrobial stewardship intervention that improves appropriateness on SAP.
