Published: July 2018

The efficacy of root dipping with Bukhuldaria vietnamensis isolate KM2 (Bv-KM2) an antagonist of Fusarium oxysporum was evaluated to improve the tolerance mechanism of chickpea against wilt. The increase in activity of key ROS enzymes of root tissues viz., peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase was reported with the increase in time course of infection in resistance and susceptible varieties at 1 and 5 DAI. The pre-treatment with Bv-KM2 helps to maintain the higher level of ROS enzymes in susceptible variety JG-62, hence imparts resistance against Foc stress. In resistant variety WR-315 it further improves resistance towards Foc stress through enhanced production of ROS enzymes. The role of phenolic compounds and polyamines was studied from root tissues using HPTLC at 5 DAI. Among the polyphenols, ferulic acid was found to be constitutively expressing in both varieties over the treatment condition, the salicylic acid was found in resistant variety WR-315 over the treatment whereas it was found to be induced in susceptible variety JG-62. Four polyamines were detected through HPTLC of which two were unidentified where as two were identified as cadvarine and spermine. One of unidentified polyamiens (P2) was reported only in resistant variety WR-315 under different treatment conditions. Overall the Bv-KM2 treatment leads to alteration in ROS enzymes, polyphenols and polyamines which result in improved tolerance to Foc in both resistant and susceptible varieties.

Pea is most popular and widely grown, annual pulse grain playing an important role in the upliftment of the economy of hilly area farmers. The application of chemical pesticides have increased in recent time, but has gradually contributed to increased environmental hazards, soil deterioration, thus disturbing the beneficial microbes and biological balance, leading to various dreadful diseases like cancer. Keeping in view the above burning criteria, the studies were conducted focusing on the in-conversion phase of a chemical cultivation system to an organic cultivation system. The results highlight the various parameters like soil health and pesticide residual analysis and their differential behaviour in both the systems (Chemical and Organic). A baseline survey was conducted for comparing differences in behaviour of farmers towards in-conversion phase for which SOGG group (Salogara Organic Growing Group) of Solan-HP was taken in to account, whereas Basal area farmers were selected or chemical cultivation pattern of pea cultivation. A comparative analysis was drawn between two systems. The GCMS analysis highlight the residue of Dinocap (0.58 ppm) in market pea sample and Propiconazole (0.037ppm) in chemical farm’s pea sample were above the MRL limits and no pesticide residues were found in organic pea samples. The pesticide residues were not found in the organic farm’s samples and they were above the limit or at par in the chemical pea samples and market pea samples.

Authors: Wuryaningsih Emi Wuri
Published: July 2018

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have a high dependency on the activities of daily life (ADL) for a whole life. This can affect mental health and well-being of caregivers of CP. This study aimed to assess the mental health problems in caregiver of a child with CP who joined in self-help group (SHG) at Mojokerto East Java Province, focusing on depression symptoms. Using total sampling approach, the family member who has a role as caregivers of a  child with CP were chosen and enrolled in a descriptive study, counted 37 respondents. The self-reporting questionnaire -20 (SRQ-20) with Cronbach alpha value 0.84 was used to measure their mental health status. SRQ-20 is also available in the Indonesia Ministry of Health's online application.This study shows that the majority caregiver role is a mother (94,6%). 40.5% caregiver has a risk of mental health problems that require counseling by a health professional. Caregiver experienced several complaints both physical, psychological, and social. Perceived physical complaints include frequent headaches (40.5%); difficulty sleeping (45.9%); indigestion is disturbed (29,7); tired easily (37.8%); and a bad taste in the stomach (40.5%). While the psychic complaints experienced by the caregiver on average feel tense, anxious or worried (37.8%); difficult to make decisions (35.1%); and found it difficult to enjoy daily activities (24.3%). There are 2 caregivers who have the idea of ​​suicide. These complaints are a form of response to stressors (caring for children with CP) which is a manifestation of signs and symptoms of mental health problems among them. These signs and symptoms indicate that caregivers are susceptible to depression, anxiety, helplessness, and despair. Caregiver of children with CP is a vulnerable population to psychiatric problems because of its role in fulfilling daily life care of a child with CP for a long time even a lifetime. Nurses can contribute to providing informational and emotional support to help the caregiver to achieve mental health and well-being.

Authors: Henry Annette
Published: July 2018

Great dissonances and inequities can be created by power relationships and cultural misunderstandings. In this essay, in an attempt to preempt problems that stem from a lack of attention to questions of equity, I consider the possible pitfalls of a partnership with a Black community organization in anticipation of a project: The co-creation of a digital Black oral history archive. Political, cultural, and ethical issues that undergird equity are raised, such as researcher-insider positionality, trust, custodianship of others’ materials, representation of participants’ language varieties and voice, the use of technology, and the politics of housing a Black community archive at the University of British Columbia.

Goiânia, a metrópole do sertão: representações visuais da capital goiana na revista oeste
Authors: Guimarães Leonardo Dimitry Silva
Published: July 2018

Goiânia, símbolo da “Marcha para o Oeste” estado-novista, é fundada sob a égide do progresso, em detrimento da anterior sede administrativa de feições coloniais. O esforço de se estabelecer como capital, porém, vai além de sua concretização espacial - mediante um plano urbanístico que evocasse modernidade - e se articula, também, no campo simbólico. Os discursos, antecedentes às primeiras construções, são portadores da cidade que se idealiza e, nesta conjuntura, residem as representações. Entendendo-as como presentificação de uma imagem culturalmente construída, a abordagem deste trabalho propõe estabelecer um olhar acerca da Revista Oeste e seus registros fotográficos de Goiânia, explorando-os como importantes elementos de consolidação discursiva e imaginária da capital.
Estimation of Position and Intensity of Multi-Light Sources Based on Specular Sphere

Illumination estimation is an important research content in mixed reality technology. This paper presents a novel method for locating multiple point light sources and estimating their intensities from the images of a pair of reference spheres. In our approach, no prior knowledge of the location of the sphere is necessary, and the center of the sphere can be uniquely identified with the known radius. The sphere surface is assumed to have both Lambertian and specular properties instead of being a pure Lambertian or specular surface, which guarantees a higher accuracy than the existing approaches. The position estimations of multiple light sources are based on the fact that the specular reflection is highly dependent on highlights. One sphere is utilized to determine the directions of the light sources, and two spheres are used to locate the positions. The images of reference spheres are sampled and partitioned with multiple light sources in different positions. An illumination model is used to calculate the intensities of the ambient light and multiple light sources. Experiments on both simulation and synthetic images show that this method is feasible and accurate for estimating the positions and intensities of the multiple light sources.

Modularity is one of the evaluation measures for network partitions and is used as the merging criterion in the Louvain method. To construct useful cluster validity measures and clustering methods for network data, network cluster validity measures are proposed based on the traditional indices. The effectiveness of the proposed measures are compared and applied to determine the optimal number of clusters. The network cluster partitions of various network data which are generated from the Polaris dataset are obtained byk-medoids with Dijkstra’s algorithm and evaluated by the proposed measures as well as the modularity. Our numerical experiments show that the Dunn’s index and the Xie-Beni’s index-based measures are effective for network partitions compared to other indices.

Published: July 2018

Objectives. To investigate racial/ethnic and language differences in the effectiveness of the Massachusetts Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration (MA-CORD) study among children aged 2 to 4 years enrolled in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).

Methods. We performed a multisector quasiexperimental study in 2 MA-CORD intervention communities and 1 comparison community. Using WIC data from 2010 to 2015, we examined intervention effect on child weight and behavior outcomes by child race/ethnicity and parental primary language using multilevel linear regression models with an interaction term.

Results. Non-Hispanic Black children exposed to the intervention demonstrated a greater decrease in body mass index (BMI) than did other children (P < .05). Racial/ethnic minority children in the comparison site had greater increases in BMI than did their White counterparts (P < .05). There were no differences in intervention effectiveness by race/ethnicity or language for health behaviors.

Conclusions. White children demonstrated decreased BMI in both the intervention and control groups. However, intervention minority children demonstrated greater improvements in BMI than did control minority children.

Public Health Implications. To reduce racial/ethnic disparities, we need to disseminate effective obesity prevention interventions during early childhood in low-income settings.

The Ancestral Caddo Ceramic Assemblage from the Will Odham Site (41CE42) in the Angelina River Basin, Cherokee County, Texas
Authors: Perttula Timothy
Published: July 2018

The Will Odham site (ET-713) was recorded by Gus E. Arnold in March 1940 under the auspices of the WPA-sponsored archaeological survey of East Texas. The site was on an alluvial rise in the Big Turnpike Creek valley; Big Turnpike Creek is a tributary to Mud Creek in the Angelina River basin in the East Texas Pineywoods (Figure 1). The J. B. Maxwell site (41CE43), also recorded by Arnold, lies ca. 600 m northwest of the Odham site (Perttula 2017).

Archaeological deposits were estimated to cover a 5 acre area, but were concentrated in a ca. 60 m diameter area. These deposits had animal bone, mussel shells, ceramic vessel sherds, ground stone tools, and human skeletal materials. Burials had been reported to have been plowed up previously by the landowner in the eastern half of the site; the only known funerary objects reported associated with these burials were ceramic pipes.

Perfect fluids
Authors: de Boer Jan , Hartong Jelle , Obers Niels , Sybesma Watse , Vandoren Stefan
Published: July 2018

We present a systematic treatment of perfect fluids with translation
and rotation symmetry, which is also applicable in the absence of any
type of boost symmetry. It involves introducing a fluid variable, the
kinetic mass density, which is needed to define the
most general energy-momentum tensor for perfect fluids. Our analysis
leads to corrections to the Euler equations for perfect fluids that
might be observable in hydrodynamic fluid experiments. We also derive
new expressions for the speed of sound in perfect fluids that reduce to
the known perfect fluid models when boost symmetry is present. Our
framework can also be adapted to (non-relativistic) scale invariant
fluids with critical exponent zz.
We show that perfect fluids cannot have Schrödinger symmetry unless
z=2z=2.
For generic values of zz
there can be fluids with Lifshitz symmetry, and as a concrete example,
we work out in detail the thermodynamics and fluid description of an
ideal gas of Lifshitz particles and compute the speed of sound for the
classical and quantum Lifshitz gases.
Anomalies for Galilean fields
Authors: Jensen Kristan
Published: July 2018

We initiate a systematic study of ‘t Hooft anomalies in Galilean
field theories, focusing on two questions therein. In the first, we
consider the non-relativistic theories obtained from a discrete
light-cone quantization (DLCQ) of a relativistic theory with flavor or
gravitational anomalies. We find that these anomalies survive the DLCQ,
becoming mixed flavor/boost or gravitational/boost anomalies. We also
classify the pure Weyl anomalies of Schrödinger theories, which are
Galilean conformal field theories (CFTs) with
z=2z=2.
There are no pure Weyl anomalies in even spacetime dimension, and the
lowest-derivative anomalies in odd dimension are in one-to-one
correspondence with those of a relativistic CFT in one dimension higher.
These results classify many of the anomalies that arise in the field
theories dual to string theory on Schrödinger spacetimes.

Authors: Semochkin S. V.
Published: July 2018

Ixazomib (NINLARO, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited) is the first oral proteasome inhibitor which approved in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (IRd) for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy. Ixazomib is a boron-containing selective and reversible proteasome inhibitor that have high antitumor activity with excellent safety. This combination was approved based on the results from the phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled TOURMALINE-MM1 study, which demonstrated a 35% improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) for IRd versus placebo-Rd: median: 20.6 vs 14.7 months; hazard ratio (HR): 0.74, P = 0.012. PFS was improved in both high-and standard-risk cytogenetics subgroups with median PFS in high-risk patients 21.4 vs 9.7 months (HR 0.54; P = 0.021) and in standard-risk patients 20.6 vs

15.6 months (HR 0.64; P = 0.007). The addition of ixazomib to Rd regimen was associated with minimal additional toxicity. Common grade ≥3 adverse events with ixazomib include gastrointestinal adverse events, rash, and thrombocytopenia. No significant inhibition of neuronal cell survival protease HtrA2/Omi was noted in response on ixazomib treatment in vitro that explains its minimal clinical peripheral neuropathy. The present review addresses the current knowledge regarding the clinical use of ixazomib in relapsed myeloma patient and the prospects for further expansion of therapeutic indications.

After 3-months, BSCVA was ≥20/25 in 57 (57.6%) cases. Mean ECD was 2123 ± 438/mm2(range: 976 - 3208/ mm2) and the mean endothelial cell loss after 3-months was 26.92 ± 13.40 (range: 4.90 - 66.6%). Partial DM detachment occurred in 8 (8.0%) eyes and rebubbling required in 4 eyes. Iatrogenic primary graft failure occurred in one eye.

Conclusion:

Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty is a safe and effective procedure in several types of endothelial diseases among Indian patients with encouraging surgical and visual outcomes. Complications are less and endothelial cell loss percentage is acceptable.
Recent Advances in Color and Whiteness Evaluations in Dentistry
Authors: Pérez María M. , Pecho Oscar E. , Ghinea Razvan , Pulgar Rosa , Bona Alvaro Della
Published: July 2018

Background:

The final goal of color measurement or shade specification in dentistry is
the reproduction by prosthetic materials of all important appearance characteristics of natural oral
structures. The application of color science in dentistry is an objective way to measure and evaluate
such structures and dental materials in clinical practice and dental research.

Methods:

Literature on color science was reviewed to present new metrics to evaluate color differences
of dental materials and dental structures. Visual acceptability and perceptibility values of color
differences are reviewed and new whiteness indexes to describe whiteness in dentistry are presented.

Results:

In the last decade, the CIELAB 50:50% perceptibility and acceptability thresholds were set
to 1.2 and 2.7, respectively, and the CIEDE2000 50:50% perceptibility and acceptability thresholds
were set to 0.8 and 1.8. The CIEDE2000 color-difference formula became increasingly popular in
dentistry. Developments in color science have led to the description of tooth whiteness and changes
in tooth whiteness based on whiteness indexes, with the most relevant being the WID whiteness index,
which is a customized index based in CIELAB color space.

Conclusion:

The application of color science in dentistry has allowed the precise description of
tooth color and whiteness. The revised and new CIEDE2000 color-difference formula is expected to
fully replace the outdated CIELAB formula in almost all dental applications. Recent psychophysical
studies have reported values of visual thresholds and new whiteness indexes, which can serve as
quality control tools to guide the selection of esthetic dental materials, evaluate clinical performance,
and interpret visual and instrumental findings in clinical dentistry, dental research, and subsequent
standardization.
A Model to Compare QoL in Turkish Cities
Authors: Çubukçu Ebru , Erin İrem
Published: July 2018

Quality of life (QOL) is an abstract concept. Like other subjective concepts, it is hard to develop objective measures to understand QOL in specific urban settings. Since there has been a voluminous literature on QOL, researchers focused on parameters to measure QOL. This study aims to review the literature on QOL to extract the indicators of QOL in urban settings. It would put forward a model to collect data to measure and compare QOL in neighbourhood units and regional areas. The model could be applied in Turkish cities. The potential and limitations of this model will be discussed.

Floods can cause damage to homes. Some houses which have been significantly damaged, destroyed, or inhabitable. Inherently, victims should be given temporary or permanent houses depending on the degree of damage to their houses. Therefore, an assessment of the degree of house damage must be carried out as a direction for the recovery effort. Thus, this research seeks to design a House Damage Assessment Form. This form has been established by having an in-depth interview with experts involved in MERCY Malaysia and a literature review of the evaluation forms used by other countries to assess the degree of house damage post-disaster.

Published: July 2018

This study addresses the attitudes of the urban and rural dwellers towards Setiu Wetlands conservation. The New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale is adopted to measure the degree of environmental concern. A series of factor analysis and regression is applied to analyze the urban-rural attitudes and to suggest three factors structure of attitudes to wetland conservation. The urban-rural residential variable is able to predict in part the overall NEP scores and element of anti-anthropocentrism which suggesting the urban communities are more positive towards wetland conservation. Hence, further outreach efforts in rural population are worthwhile to raise conservation awareness.

Published: July 2018

The lingering problem of poverty prompted many countries to adopt community-based strategies for improving Quality of Life (QoL) of poor communities. Numerous studies have focused on identifying but ignored to establish the contribution of the factors that influence improvement in QoL by community-based projects. This paper measures, using Structural Equation Modelling, the contribution of the factors that influence QoL in a Community-based Poverty Reduction Project (CPRP) in Nigeria. The model revealed that the measured factors contributed only 36% of the reduction in poverty, which implies that there are other “hidden” factors responsible for the improvement in the quality of life.

Published: July 2018

In Malaysia, the goods and services tax (GST) was implemented in 2015 as part of a tax reform program to generate a stable source of revenue. This study explores human behaviour towards GST, a week post-implementation. The partial least square (PLS) modelling was used to establish the relationship between acceptance, knowledge and feelings towards GST as well as the quality of life. There is a positive relationship between the antecedents and the quality of life. Acceptance of GST exerts a significant relationship towards feelings and quality of life in the future.

AbstractGaAs light-emitting (LED) and HEMT structures with δ-doped regions, InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells, and surface layers of InAs/GaAs quantum dots were studied by means of the electrochemical capacitance- voltage profiling technique. The concentration depth profiles of free charge carriers were obtained. Charges accumulated in quantum wells and quantum dots, as well as the doping levels of the emitter and δ layers were determined. The band structure and free carrier density distribution over the depth of the samples with different quantum well geometry were simulated. The specific features of electrochemical capacitance- voltage profiling in different heterostructure types are analyzed. A method of integration of capacitance- voltage curves at each etching stage was suggested. This method provides the efficient separation of responses from closely located layers, particularly the quantum well and δ layer.

AbstractA statistical study of the microplasma-breakdown delay in gallium-arsenide light-emitting diodes is performed. The significant effect of deep centers on the microplasma breakdown of gallium arsenide p–n junctions is detected. It is shown that the statistical delay of the microplasma breakdown makes it possible to estimate the energy spectrum of deep levels in the microplasma channel when varying the charge state of deep centers by decreasing the reverse voltage applied to the p–n junction. In the temperature range of 250–350 K, the effect of three deep levels is detected and their parameters are determined.

AbstractThe results of the theory considering mixed plasmon-excitonic modes and their spectroscopy are presented. The plasmon-excitons are formed owing to strong Coulomb coupling between quasi-two-dimensional excitons of a quantum well and dipole plasmons of nanoparticles. The effective polarizability associated with a nanoparticle is calculated in a self-consistent approximation taking into account the local field determined by in-layer dipole plasmons and their image charges due to the excitonic polarization of a near quantum well. The spectra of elastic scattering and specular reflection of light are investigated in cases of a single silver nanoparticle and a monolayer of such particles situated in close proximity to a quantum well GaAs/AlGaAs. The optical spectra show a two-peak structure with a deep and narrow dip in the resonant range of plasmon-excitons. Propagation of plasmon-excitonic polaritons is discussed for periodic superlattices whose unit cell consists of a quantum well and a layer of metal nanoparticles. The superradiance regime originating in the Bragg diffraction of plasmon-excitonic polaritons by the superlattice is investigated. It is shown that the broad spectrum of plasmonic reflection depending on the number of unit cells in a superlattice also has a narrow dip at the exciton frequency.
