Published: November 2019

In the present paper, we introduce the concept of $\mathcal{F}$-modular, which is a generalization of the modular notion. Moreover, we introduce a $K_p$-modular and $K$-modular, and then compare these concepts together. Finally, we give a characterization of $\mathcal{F}$-modulars.
Parity numerical semigroups
Authors: MORENO FRIAS María ángeles , ROSALES José Carlos
Published: November 2019

A numerical semigroup is parity (P-semigroup) if the sum of two consecutive elements of $S$ is odd. In this paper we will order the P-semigroups creating a tree with root. This ordering allows us to give some algorithms to build all the P-semigroups with a fixed genus and Frobenius number. Also, we will study the maximal P-semigroups with a given Frobenius number as well as the P-semigroups with maximum embedding dimension.

A simple graph $G=(V,E)$ admits an~$H$-covering if every edge in $E$ belongs to at least one subgraph of $G$ isomorphic to a given graph $H$. The graph $G$ admitting an $H$-covering is $(a,d)$-$H$-antimagic if there exists a~bijection $f:V\cup E\to\{1,2,\cdots,|V|+|E|\}$ such that, for all subgraphs $H'$ of $G$ isomorphic to $H$, the $H'$-weights, $wt_f(H')= \sum_{v\in V(H')} f(v) + \sum_{e\in E(H')} f(e)$, form an~arithmetic progression with the initial term $a$ and the common difference $d$. Such a labeling is called {\it super} if the smallest possible labels appear on the vertices. In this paper we prove the existence of super $(a,d)$-$H$-antimagic labelings of fan graphs and ladders for $H$ isomorphic to a cycle.
RESEARCH ON THE IMPACT OF PHYTOBIOTIC CONTAINING COMPOUND FEED ON THE RESISTANCE OF CARP TO BACTERIAL INFECTIONS
Authors: Koshak Zh. , Degtyaric S.
Published: November 2019

Bacterial infections are most dangerous for fish and may cause their 100 % death. The most dangerous bacteria are aeromonas, or pathogens of hemorrhagic septicemia or rubella. The Cyprinids are most susceptible to this disease. As a rule, antibiotics, sometimes probiotics are used to fight aeromonosis. Due to the frequent use of antibiotics, fish develop resistance to some of them, thus making the measures to fight bacterial infection completely ineffective. Nowadays phytobiotics are spreading widely in European countries. Phytobiotics are phytogenous or plant-based complexes that do not contain any drugs, so they are simply referred to as feed additives containing biologically active substances that are able to resist bacterial infections, increase appetite, immunity, improve metabolic processes, etc. The following article provides a research on a phytobiotic “Mix-Oil” and its effectiveness against carp aeromonosis. The phytobiotic "Mix-Oil" is a product of a joint Belarusian-Italian production and is based on the essential oils of oregano, cloves and garlic. It was revealed that the phytobiotic "Mix-Oil" does not have acute and chronic toxicity on carps at a dosage of 80 - 600 g / ton of compound feed. Both preventive and therapeutic effects of Mix-Oil as a part of carp compound feed were also established. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that a dosage of 600 g / ton of compound feed is the optimal dosage of phytobiotic in mixed feed. Since the phytobiotic "Mix-Oil" is a heat-sensitive product, the modes of moisture and heat treatment as well as a type of granulation were selected, in which the phytobiotic retains its activity. The optimum parameter values of the moisture and heat treatment of mixed feed with phytobiotic “Mix-Oil” at a dosage of 600 g/t were determined, without loss of activity of the phytobiotic, such as: the temperature of the loose mixed feed before the press granulator matrix is not exceeding 67° С and the duration of the moisture and heat treatment process is not exceeding 5,8-6 seconds. On the basis of the conducted research, a new treatment-and-prophylactic compound feed “Mix-Feed” was developed, together with technical specifications for it: TS BY 100035627.020-2018 “Granulated Compound Feed for two and three year old carps“ Mix-Feed ”K-111-LP”. It is recommended for feeding carps during spring and autumn within 5 to 10 days to increase the resistance of fish to bacterial infections. Mix-Feed has passed industrial tests and is used by fish farms of the Republic of Belarus.

According to the literature poultry occupies a leading position in the structure of the meat market. The leader in poultry farming is the production of broiler meat both in the world and in Ukraine. However, in recent years the interest in growing turkeys and turkey meat production increased sharply, as a lucrative business and an alternative to pork and beef. It is estimated that in the world turkey's meat consumption has increased from 1,5 million tones to 5,5 million tones in recent years Israel is the world leader in annual consumption of turkey meat (13.1 kg per head), and USA is the world leader in production of turkey meat (42% of total production). In 2017 turkey meat production in the world amounted to 6.4 million tones, only 34 thousand tones were produced inUkraine of them.The main characteristics of the two turkey breeds are given. They are the bronze-breasted and white-breasted breeds. Almost all modern turkey industrial crosses have come from them. All high-productive turkey crosses are divided into types depending on the weight: light, medium, medium heavy, heavy. Each has its own purpose for use. As a result of the analysis of the literature data, the production indicators for modern turkey crosses and norms of the content of nutrients and biologically active substances in feeds for turkeys of heavy and medium types were generalized. We developed turkey feeding programs based on years of experience, scientific achievements in the industry and fruitful collaboration with feed manufacturers. There are several periods during the life of the turkeys: the period of rearing, pre-laying (rearing of the repair young turkeys) and productive. It is established that young turkeys of various purposes are fed the same rations forup to 17 weeks. According to the developed turkey feeding program the period of rearing consists of 3 phases, during which use starter (1 - 4 weeks for heavy type turkeys and 1 - 8 weeks for medium type turkeys), grower (5 - 13 weeks for heavy type turkeys and 9 - 13 weeks for medium type turkeys) and finisher (14-17 weeks) feed. The pre-laying diet is fed from 18 to 30 weeks to repair young turkeys, and productive diet is fed from 31 weeks.

La polyphonie discursive : un modèle ancré sur la ScaPoLine et le dialogisme
Authors: Badiang Oloko Francis
Published: November 2019

The present work is intended as a contribution to the development of a discourse polyphony approach. Polyphony in language studies can take different meanings depending on the various approaches as Nølke, Fløttum, and Norén (2004) report. There has been a proliferation of perspectives and approaches to multivoicedness since the early works of Ducrot (1984). Ducrot himself was largely inspired by Genette's theses as well as by Bally's works. The link between him and Bakhtin's legacy is not as direct as it seems with literature (Nølke 2017). It is quite the opposite with dialogism theory (Bres 1999). The latter appears to draw more directly from Bakhtin (Dendale and Coltier 2006). Some of the approaches to multivoicedness are described as linguistic due to their focus on language features solely. Others on the other hand transcend the limits of language and integrate contextual information. Gjerstad (2011) is the first attempt to develop a model of polyphony whose focus is beyond mere linguistic features. His discourse polyphony approach takes into account intentionality and the interactive nature of speech. This was achieved  through the combination of the ScaPoLine approach with dialogism and the Geneva Model. The present contribution bridges from Gjerstad’s (2011). However, it limits the scope to the blending of the ScaPoLine and dialogism. After answering the question about the relevance of a discourse polyphony approach, this article offers a description of its scope, and the consequences of the incorporation of contextual elements into the polyphonic configuration taken up from the ScaPoLine. The result is tested on two concrete examples. If the conclusions to these examples approve the need for a discourse polyphony approach, its implementation requires some flexibility to match the dynamic nature of discourse also. Similarly, the relevance of context must be looked at with great caution.
Le lien entre mémoire et histoire dans L ́Histoire terrible mais inachevée de Norodom Sihanouk, roi du Cambodge d ́Hélène Cixous
Authors: Erlingsdottir Irma Jóhanna
Published: November 2019

The play The Terrible but Unfinished Story of Norodom Sihanouk, King of Cambodia by Hélène Cixous, and directed by Ariane Mnouchkine at the Théâtre du Soleil in 1987, deals with the systemic failure of a political culture – transcending spatial and temporal parameters – and its genocidal consequences in national and international contexts, as well as individual and collective resistance. The article aims to study the political and geopolitical narrative as well as Cixous’ interpretation of history, with references to the civil war in Cambodia, the Cold War and the Vietnam War. Our approach to the play, which marks the beginning of the collaboration between the director Ariane Mnouchkine and Hélène Cixous, is that of an exploration and contextualization of its political and historical content to show how, in the words of Cixous, it « pollinates » its literary representation. We will analyze the interaction between discourses on traditionalism and modernization, imperialism and resistance, territoriality and exile. This also includes a study of the meaning of space as a « place of memory », since pay particular attention will be paid to the action of the play and the struggles of power, constantly changing places – whether these are interior or transnational – through Phnom Penh, Beijing, Washington, Paris and Moscow.

Authors: Atsawatheerasathien Prapatsorn , Kanitpong Kunnawee
Published: November 2019

Passenger rejection by taxi dirvers in Bangkok, Thailand has become a serious problem, especially during rush hours. In this work, the factors affecting the passenger-rejection behaviour of Bangkok taxi drivers were investigated by considering the concept of taxi service zones. Three interactive zones and one isolated zone were identified as taxi service areas that could explain the reasons for passenger rejection. The results suggested that passengers calling for taxi travel within the three interactive zones or within the isolated zone were less likely to be rejected. Other contributing factors affecting passenger-rejection behaviour by taxi drivers were gender, the number of passengers, the nationality of passengers, the amount of luggage, the numbers of passengers waiting for taxis, the numbers of taxis waiting for passengers and taxi licences (expired or active). The results of this study could assist policymakers to resolve the root cause of the passenger-rejection problem instead of punishing taxi drivers in accordance with regulations.

Published: November 2019

The problem of individualisation in education in terms of e-learning remains relevant despite a lot of research done in the area. The present article is intended to review existing education practice individualisation in e-learning and to determine the prospects of development of adaptive e-learning courses that provide the student with an individual educational environment content which focuses on the individual characteristics of students. The authors arrive at the conclusion that building an individual educational trajectory in the adaptive e-learning course has a significant advantage in organising education in the electronic environment for both the student and the teacher. The main feature of these courses becomes the selection of educational content that best matches the individual abilities, needs and needs of the student in an electronic environment. The results of the research are universally applicable and can serve as a basis for organising adaptive web-based teaching not only for mathematics, but also for other disciplines in institutions of secondary, higher and further education

Image binarization is still a challenging task in a variety of applications. In particular, Document Image Binarization Contest (DIBCO) is organized regularly to track the state-of-the-art techniques for the historical document binarization. In this work we present a binarization method that was ranked first in the DIBCO`17 contest. It is a convolutional neural network (CNN) based method which uses U-Net architecture, originally designed for biomedical image segmentation. We describe our approach to training data preparation and contest ground truth examination and provide multiple insights on its construction (so called hacking). It led to more accurate historical document binarization problem statement with respect to the challenges one could face in the open access datasets. A docker container with the final network along with all the supplementary data we used in the training process has been published on Github.

Published: November 2019

Kopi luwak (civet coffee) is widely known as the most expensive coffee in the world. As quality is known, the popularity of kopi luwak also increases, which leads to the increasing demands for this coffee. Kopi luwak has high economic value due to its rarity, unique flavor. and a distinctive production process. An alternative for kopi luwak production is employing an in vitro fermentation to imitate the natural fermentation on the digestive system of civet. Fermentation is usually carried out by indigenous microflora, the existence of the microflora thought to have a role in civet coffee production. A type of bacteria suspected a role in the digestive tract is lactic acid bacteria. The study aims to identify lactic acid bacteria from the digestive tract of civet. The isolation of lactic acid bacteria was carried out by using MRS agar, and their characterization by phenotypic analysis. The results showed that the characteristic of lactic acid bacteria varied. Based on API analysis, the study successfully identified lactic acid bacteria, which are Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactococcus lactis spp. Lactis, Lactobacillus fructivorans, and Lactobacillus Brevis. All LAB grow anaerobically, but unlike most anaerobes, they grow in the presence of oxygen (anaerobic aerotolerant bacteria). LAB that grows in aerobic conditions also classified as CNB. LAB with protease and pectinase activity might be used as a starter culture for the production of artificial kopi luwak. Hence, a further study related to their technical characteristics must be done to maintain kopi luwak availability.

Published: November 2019

Local roads, which comprise 91% of the road networks in Indonesia, are a vital part of the transportation infrastructure. The construction of local roads has had some negative impacts on the environment, one of the most significant of which is the release of greenhouse gases (GHG). In order to develop a strategy for sustainable development in transportation infrastructure, it is essential that GHG emissions be reduced in the local road construction cycle. The aims of this study were to estimate the release of GHG and to elaborate on efforts to reduce GHG emissions in the construction of both rigid and flexible local road pavements. First, a life cycle assessment was performed to calculate the energy consumption and amount of GHG emissions. Next, some possible approaches were explored and elaborated on to seek opportunities to reduce GHG emissions, and therefore, enhance the sustainability of local road constructions. The results showed that material processing and material transportation contributed to 74.0-75.2% and 24.7-26.5% of GHG emissions, respectively. It is also known from the stepwise analysis that the significant predictor to form the amount of GHG both on the rigid and flexible pavement is the distance of the aggregate source to batching/asphalt mixing plant. Hence, the strategies for the reduction of GHG emissions, in this case, might be carried out by substituting current construction materials (cement and asphalt) with less intensive GHG emissions materials, and by reducing the distance for the transportation of the aggregates. The result shows that the first proposed strategy, which is substituting cement or asphalt with fly ash and reclaimed asphalt reduces more GHG than the second one.

Too often youth from vulnerable communities see themselves talked about in academic research, but are rarely involved as co-researchers or co-authors of research. The purpose of this article is to share our reflections on engaging youth, their experiences and their perspectives on the
multi-levels of impact of participatory action research methodologies, such as community-based action research or youth participatory action research. This article discusses more broadly how our participatory methodologies have impacted our co-researchers and ourselves. In it, we provide additional
details about our past research projects, as well as theorizing those details in terms of how critical theory serves as a tool within participatory methodologies. We reflect on the experiences engaging participatory methodologies in two different contexts and examine the collective impacts,
comparing and contrasting the findings. We draw on our field research: one researcher worked with co-researchers from Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya, and the other worked alongside youth co-researchers from an alternative secondary school in the USA. Two of our co-authors are also co-researchers,
and they offer a deeper insight into how these methodologies impacted their lives.
New possibilities of drug therapy for rheumatoid arthritis: focus at sarilumab
Authors: Karateev D. E. , Luchikhina E. L.
Published: November 2019

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most prevalent autoimmune diseases in humans and is a serious medical and social problem in the Russian Federation. Current synthetic and biological agents acting through specific molecular targets, play a significant role in the treatment of RA. Over the last few years, inhibitors of the biological effects of interleukin-6 (IL-6) have attracted increasing attention, being positioned as the first choice agents among the biologicals, especially if there is a need in monotherapy. IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine with a broad range of biological effects on immune cells, such as B and T lymphocytes, on hepatocytes, hematopoietic cells, vascular endothelial cells, and many others. In this regard, IL-6 is a good therapeutic target in RA. For several years, the group of inhibitors of IL-6 biological effects has been represented by one drug only, i.e. tocilizumab. The new drug of this group, sarilumab, is a human monoclonal antibody (IgG1 subtype) to the IL-6 receptor. Sarilumab binds specifically to both soluble and membrane IL-6 receptors (IL-6Rα), and inhibits IL-6-mediated signal transduction involving signal protein glycoprotein 130 (gp130) and signal proteins STAT-3. There is evidence that sarilumab has a higher affinity to the IL-6 receptor, and binds the receptor in a more stable manner than tocilizumab. Sarilumab has been approved for treatment of RA with moderate or high activity in adult patients with inadequate response or intolerability to one or several synthetic basic drugs, at a dose 150 mg or 200 mg subcutaneously biweekly in combination with methotrexate (MTX). It also can be prescribed as monotherapy in case of MTX intolerability or if treatment with MTX is inexpedient. Sarilumab is a highly active therapeutic agent with proven superiority in monotherapy over adalimumab. Therefore, sarilumab can be positioned as a first line biological agent in patients with high inflammatory activity, as well as in those resistant to tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors. The safety profile of sarilumab is similar to that of tocilizumab; probably there is a slightly higher risk of neutropenia, but a lower risk of dyslipidemia, reactions at the injection site and gastrointestinal perforation for sarilumab than for tocilizumab.

Published: November 2019

There is a strong anticipated future for human pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes (hiPS-HEP), but so far their use has been limited due to insufficient functionality. We investigated the potential of hiPS-HEP as an in vitro model for metabolic diseases by combining transcriptomics with multiple functional assays. The transcriptomics analysis revealed that 86% of the genes were expressed at similar levels in hiPS-HEP as in human primary hepatocytes (hphep). Adult characteristics of the hiPS-HEP were confirmed by the presence of important hepatocyte features, e.g. Albumin secretion and expression of major drug metabolizing genes. Normal energy metabolism is crucial for modeling metabolic diseases, and both transcriptomics data and functional assays showed that hiPS-HEP were similar to hphep regarding uptake of glucose, LDL and fatty acids. Importantly, the inflammatory state of the hiPS-HEP was low under standard conditions, but in response to lipid accumulation and ER stress the inflammation marker TNFα was upregulated. Furthermore, hiPS-HEP could be co-cultured with primary hepatic stellate cells both in 2D and in 3D spheroids, paving the way for using these co-cultures for modeling NASH. Taken together, hiPS-HEP have the potential to serve as an in vitro model for metabolic diseases. Furthermore, differently expressed genes identified in this study can serve as targets for future improvements of the hiPS-HEP.
Monitoring Antibiotics and Inflammatory Markers in Human Blood: Impact in Choice of Antibiotic Therapy and Used Methods
Authors: Berlina Anna N. , Zherdev Anatoly V. , Dzantiev Boris B.
Published: November 2019

In the modern world, the problem of antibiotic therapy is acute. Despite the diversity of existing antibiotic drugs, their efficacy decreases as new, resistant forms of pathogenic microorganisms emerge. It is extremely difficult to control such processes and even more difficult to treat severe bacterial infections. In such situations, an individual approach to each patient is required and physicians need parameters to estimate the efficacy of antibiotic therapy. This review discusses the significance of monitoring the content of antibiotics in the blood for this purpose, in combination with the content of inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein and procalcitonin. The basic principles of antibiotic therapy, and factors in the resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics, are examined. Approaches to assess the efficacy of antibiotic therapy, as well as methods to detect antibiotics and inflammatory markers in the blood of patients, and comparative assessment of their capabilities and limitations, are described.

Published: November 2019

Previous studies have reported certain sex differences in motor performance precision. The aim of the present study was to analyse sex differences in fine motor precision performance for both hands in different tests conditions. 220 Spanish participants (ages: 12-95) performed fine motor tasks - tracing over the provided models – lines of 40 mm for both hands, two sensory conditions (PV – proprioceptive-visual; P – proprioceptive only) and three movement types (F – frontal, T – transversal and S - Sagittal). Differences in line length (the task focused on precision) were observed through MANOVA analysis for all test conditions, both sexes and different age groups. Sex differences in precision were observed in F and T movement types (statistically significance level and higher Cohens’ d was observed in condition with vision). No any statistically significant differences were observed in both hands and sensory conditions in sagittal type. Sex differences in fine motor precision were more frequently observed in the PV sensory condition in the frontal movement type and less in the sagittal one.

Published: November 2019

Between 2011 and 2016 small-scale farm trials were run across three dairy regions of New Zealand (Waikato, Canterbury, Otago) to compare the performance of typical regional farm systems with farm systems implementing a combination of mitigation options most suitable to the region. The trials ran for at least three consecutive years with detailed recording of milk production and input costs. Nitrate leaching per hectare of the milking platform (where lactating cows are kept) was estimated using either measurements (suction cups), models, or soil mineral nitrogen measurements. Post-trial, detailed farm information was used in the New Zealand greenhouse gas inventory methodology to calculate the emissions from all sources; dairy platform, dairy support land used for wintering non-lactating cows (where applicable) and replacement stock, and imported supplements. Nitrate leaching was also estimated for the support land and growing of supplements imported from off-farm using the same methods as for the platform. Operating profit (NZ$/ha/year), nitrate leaching (kg N/ha/year), and greenhouse gas emissions (t CO2-e/ha/year) were all expressed per hectare of milking platform to enable comparisons across regions. Nitrate leaching mitigations adopted in lower-input (less imported feed and N fertiliser) farm systems reduced leaching by 22 to 30 percent, and greenhouse gas emissions by between nine and 24 percent. The exception was the wintering barn system in Otago where nitrate leaching was reduced by 45 percent but greenhouse gas emissions were unchanged due to greater manure storage and handling. Important drivers of a lower environmental footprint are reducing nitrogen fertiliser and imported feed. Their effect is to reduce nitrogen surplus and feed flow through the herd and drive down both greenhouse gas emissions and nitrate leaching. Emission reductions in the lower-input systems of Waikato and Canterbury came at an average loss of profit of approximately NZ$100/t CO2-e (three to five percent of industry average profit per hectare).

Published: November 2019

The mere co-presence of another person synchronizes physiological signals, but no study has systematically investigated effects of type of emotional context and type of relationship in eliciting dyadic physiological synchrony. In this study, we investigated the synchrony of pairs of strangers, companions, and romantic partners while watching a series of video clips designed to elicit different emotions. Maximal cross-correlation of heart rate variability (HRV) was used to quantify dyadic synchrony. The findings suggest that an existing social relationship might reduce the predisposition to conform one's autonomic responses to a friend or romantic partner during social situations that do not require direct interaction.
A "garantia ao recurso" e a "repercussão geral": conciliação ou negação?
Authors: Osna Gustavo
Published: November 2019

Embora o direito ao recurso tenha sido tradicionalmente visto como uma garantia central do processo civil brasileiro, as mudanças recentes da matéria atingiram de forma sensível esse elemento. Com especial importância, impactou-se a possibilidade de se recorrer, extraordinariamente, ao Supremo Tribunal Federal – limitando-a pela cláusula da “repercussão geral”. O presente artigo sustenta que esse requisito procura viabilizar as novas expectativas atribuídas à Corte, mas que, por outro lado, limita discricionariamente a atividade recursal. Por meio dele, procura-se conciliar o inconciliável – valendo-se de um conceito indeterminado como fator de legitimação retórica.

O trabalho traz a questão da justiciabilidade dos direitos econômicos, sociais e culturais no âmbito da Comissão e da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos e como isso pode ser analisado dentro do tema do ativismo judicial. Para tanto, em um primeiro momento aborda-se a normativa internacional referente aos direitos sociais, tanto no sistema onusiano como no interamericano. Também se trata da indivisibilidade e da interdependência dos direitos humanos, sendo características que permitem visualizar que é necessário um equilíbrio da tutela desses direitos, conformando uma unidade em sua proteção. Logo, passa-se a um exame mais pormenorizado da atuação da Comissão e da Corte Interamericana no sistema de monitoramento e de peticionamento, para então trazer a forma como a Corte vem decidindo casos envolvendo os DESC e como a jurisprudência foi evoluindo nos últimos anos, a partir da exposição de alguns casos concretos. Ao final, argumenta-se se a atual posição da Corte poderia ser considerada como uma forma de ativismo judicial. O método utilizado foi o dialético, a partir de revisão bibliográfica e de análise de casos concretos.

Hymenopteran cocoons are complex structures constructed from silk by larvae and exhibit a wide range of morphologies, compositions, and textures. The recognition of the most relevant characters of modern cocoons is important for the accurate identification of trace fossils attributed to wasps, which are included in the ichnogenus Fictovichnus. Characters assessed in this study are length, equatorial diameter, diameters near the extremes, shape, color, texture, surface morphology, and occurrence (isolated or clustered). We mapped these characters onto a hymenopteran phylogeny, revealing that the distribution of most of them has no evident phylogenetic signal. In many cases, there is more than one character state in a single family, whereas others appear distributed among several groups. Ellipsoidal and ovoid cocoons, showing membranous texture are the most basal and common characters. Bilobated, subconical and fusiform shapes, clustering, nipple and pores seem to be autapomorphies for certain groups. Crabronidae, Pompilidae, Scolioidea and Thynnoidea construct hard coriaceous cocoons, which may show distinctive surface morphologies and would have the highest preservation potential in paleosols. Data presented herein show that both Fictovichnus sciuttoi and Fictovichnus aragon were correctly attributed to Crabronidae or Pompilidae, although Scolioidea and Thynnoidea cannot be ruled out because of the shape and coriaceous texture of their cocoons. According to the low phylogenetic signal of Hymenoptera cocoons found herein, it would be impossible to refine the affinities of these ichnospecies to particular taxa. The simple morphology of Fictovichnus gobiensis precludes a definitive attribution, either to wasps or to coleopterans, even after the new data presented herein.

Background Better quality of care around the time of childbirth can significantly improve maternal and newborn survival. In countries like India, where the private sector contributes to a considerable proportion of institutional deliveries, it is important to assess the quality of maternity care offered by private sector healthcare facilities. This study seeks to fill that information gap by analysing baseline assessments conducted for the Manyata program, which aims to improve the quality of maternity care at private facilities. Methods An observation checklist based on 16 clinical standards endorsed by the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI) was used to assess 201 private sector healthcare facilities in Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh. Data on facility characteristics came from profiles completed when facilities enrolled in Manyata. Differences in the mean number of standards met were analysed by facility characteristics and the availability of essential supplies. Results 47.1% of all nursing staff engaged in maternity care services at these private healthcare facilities were unqualified. The mean number of clinical standards met by facilities was 3.2 (SD 2.4). Facilities with a monthly delivery load between 20 and 50 met a significantly higher number of standards, as did facilities that had more than 70% of essential supplies available. Both of these factors were also significant in a multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusions The overall quality of maternity care in private healthcare facilities is poor in all three states, especially for clinical standards related to management of complications.

Background: The APETALA2/ethylene responsive factor (AP2/ERF) superfamily members are transcription factors that regulate diverse developmental processes and stress responses in plants. They have been identified in many plants. However, little is known about the AP2/ERF superfamily in longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.), which is an important tropical/subtropical evergreen fruit tree that produces a variety of bioactive compounds with rich nutritional and medicinal value. We conducted a genome-wide analysis of the AP2/ERF superfamily and its roles in somatic embryogenesis (SE) and developmental processes in longan. Results: A genome-wide survey of the AP2/ERF superfamily was carried out to discover its evolution and function in longan. We identified 125 longan AP2/ERF genes and classified them into the ERF (101 members), AP2 (19 members), RAV (four members) families, and one Soloist. The AP2 and Soloist genes contained one to ten introns, whereas 87 genes in the ERF and RAV families had no introns. Hormone signaling molecules such as methyl jasmonate (MeJA), abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellin, auxin, and salicylic acid (SA), and stress response cis-acting element low-temperature (55) and defense (49) boxes also were identified. We detected diverse single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between the 'Hong He Zi' (HHZ) and 'SI JI MI' (SJM) cultivars. The number of insertions and deletions (InDels) was far fewer than SNPs. The AP2 family members exhibited more alternative splicing (AS) events in different developmental processes of longan than members of the other families. Expression pattern analysis revealed that some AP2/ERF members regulated early SE and developmental processes in longan seed, root, and flower, and responded to exogenous hormones such as MeJA, SA, and ABA, and 2,4-D, a synthetic auxin. Protein interaction predictions indicated that the Baby Boom (BBM) transcription factor, which was up-regulated at the transcriptional level in early SE, may interact with the LALF/AGL15 network. Conclusions: The comprehensive analysis of molecular evolution and expression patterns suggested that the AP2/ERF superfamily may plays an important role in longan, especially in early SE, and in seed, root, flower, and young fruit. This systematic analysis provides a foundation for further functional characterization of the AP2/ERF superfamily with the aim of longan improvement.

Abstract
Background: The focus of emergency room (ER) treatment is on acute medical crises, but frequent users of ER services often present with various needs. The objectives of this study were to obtain information on persistent frequent ER service users and to determine reasons for their ER service use. We also sought to determine whether psychiatric diagnoses or ongoing use of psychiatric or substance use disorder treatment services were associated with persistent frequent ER visits.
Methods: A cohort (n=138) of persistent frequent ER service users with a total of 2585 ER visits during a two-year-period was identified. A content analysis was performed for 10% of these visits. Register data including International Classification of Primary Care 2 (ICPC-2) –codes and diagnoses were analyzed and multivariable models were created in order to determine whether psychiatric diagnoses and psychosocial reasons for ER service use were associated with the number of ER visits after adjusting for covariates.
Results: Patients who were younger, had a psychiatric diagnosis and engaged in ongoing psychiatric and other health services, had more ER visits than those who were not. Having a psychiatric diagnosis was associated with the frequency of ER visits in the multivariable models after adjusting for age, gender and ongoing use of psychiatric or substance use disorder treatment services. Reasons for ER-service use according to ICPC-2 –codes were inadequately documented.
Conclusions: Patients with psychiatric diagnoses are overrepresented in this cohort of persistent frequent ER service users. More efficient treatments paths are needed for patients to have their medical needs met through regular appointments.
