Genome-wide identification and molecular evolution analysis of BPA genes in green plants
Authors: Zhang Xiong , Ai Gan , Wang Xiaodan , Peng Hao , Yin Zhiyuan , Dou Daolong 
Published: February 2020

AbstractReactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling plays a central role in plant immune response. BPAs, referred to as binding partner 1 of accelerated cell death 11 (ACD11) (BPA1) and BPA1-like proteins, regulate ROS-mediated defense responses in Arabidopsis thaliana. However, their distribution and evolutionary characteristics in the plant lineage remain unexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that most BPA genes form a plant-specific family with expansion events observed. We found that BPA and ACD11 genes co-exist in all land plants, suggesting that this immune regulatory module may originate at the early stage of land plant emergence and contribute to their colonization. Angiosperm BPAs can be classified into four distinct groups (I-IV) in our analysis. Domain organization and motif composition are highly conserved within each group but divergent across different groups. In certain species, BPAs undergo complex alternative splicing, suggesting their regulatory and functional divergence. The protein-protein interaction network we constructed predicted additional acting partners of BPAs. The yeast two-hybrid assay revealed 15 BPA interaction pairs forming homo- or hetero-dimers. Taken together, our results provide the first synopsis of BPA evolutionary pattern and adaptations to green plant colonization.

Bridging the skills gap: apprentice assistant practitioners having an impact in mental healthcare services. Part 2. The AAP experience
Authors: Miller Tracey , Morris Andy 
Published: February 2020

It is important to gain understanding of how apprentice assistant practitioners (AAPs) have an impact in mental healthcare services. This article is the second in a series of four looking at AAPs in mental healthcare services, focusing on the experiences of a group of AAPs now working towards their qualified AAP role. The challenge mental healthcare services face and the subsequent need for growing the workforce will be introduced in terms of the developments in the AAP's role. A small group of AAPs approaching completion of the foundation degree in health and social care (FdA H and SC) were voluntarily recruited to take part in filling out a questionnaire, followed by participation in a focus group. All participants work in mental healthcare services and consented to take part. They were asked to outline in the questionnaire how long they had worked in the service, alongside the specific area they specialise in. This was followed by a focus group, which explored their experiences of engaging in the AAP programme and how this affects their role and that of the wider team. They were asked to give their opinion on the development in their role, from the start of the programme up to the final stages of the apprenticeship.

Published: February 2020

The present study highlights the health risk factor of heavy metals in cosmetics considering their habitual use in the society today. This safety assessment has become inevitable because of the high demand for these products which has resulted to flooding the markets with low quality cosmetics. Digestion was by 20 mL mixture of nitric acid (HNO3) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the ratio of 3:1 and was heated in a hot plate for 2-3 hours at 90 Â°C. The choice of this mixture was informed by literature to yield the highest amounts in metal digestion. The mean metal concentrations of these products are; 1.2758, 0.9599, 0.1262, 0.0504 and 0.0068 mg/kg while the ranges are: 0.140-5.823, 0.054-3.908, 0.021-0.820, 0.028-0.071 and 0.001-0.236 mg/kg respectively for Mn, Ni, Cr, Cd and Pb. From the analysis, 40 %, 74.28 %, and 17.14 % of the products has Cd, Ni and Mn respectively exceeded the standard. Pb was not detected in majority of the products. Though cosmetic safety cannot be ascertained only by their heavy metal content, the present paper focuses solely on the contribution of heavy metals as a risk factor to the consumption of these products.Â Â Â
A graph-based decision support system for analyzing hybrid make-to-stock/make-to-order manufacturing environments
Authors: Sammak Jalali Moeen , Fatemi Ghomi S.M.T. , Rabbani Masoud 
Published: February 2020

Goal: This paper aims to facilitate production-planning strategies for demand responsiveness. Our paper implements graph-rewriting systems towards supporting operative decision making in production environments.
Design/Methodology/Approach: We design a decision support approach which is able to recognize and resolve conflicts amongst workstations in a hybrid production system. During the proposed stages of the presented approach, we rewrite the hybrid system by means of graph representation procedure, identify conflicts among the workstations by means of the developed graph coloring algorithm, and evaluate performance of the reorganized system by defining key performance indicators for the presented system.
Results: We prove that the graphs’ chromatic numbers in such systems are less than or equal to entire number of dummy nodes applied to the system by means of our proposed algorithm. Furthermore, the presented structure improves the performance of the system by analyzing production bottlenecks.
Limitations of the investigations: we only considered the Key Performance Indicators according to products, workstations, and customers. However, the problem can be more generalized by adding some more elements.
Practical Implications: Our methodology enables managers to assess the performance of the reorganized system after applying the heuristic algorithm, by means of representing a performance evaluation procedure.
Originality/ Value: We focus on presenting a novel structure to help companies using hybrid make-to-stock (MTS)/make-to-order (MTO) production strategies to (1) identify conflicting workstations and the relations among them, (2) propose dialectical prioritization rules and techniques by means of graph-coloring concepts for resolving the conflicts, (3) reorganize the system, and evaluate performance.

Department of Sociology and Social Work
Abstract
Globally, Institutional Corrections continue to play a critical role in the rehabilitation of the offenders. It is estimated that there are more than 10.2 million offenders in prison including sentenced and pretrial prisoners. Statistics also show that 144 out of every 100,000 people are in prison. Similarly, in the last fifteen years the estimated world prison has increased by 25-35% hence the need to strengthen institutional corrections for better rehabilitation. In Kenya, the total prison population is about 53,841. This includes the pretrial detainees and remand prisoners. Additionally, there are 92 institutional corrections in Kenya. However, the prison system struggles with overcrowding, poor governance, insufficient coordination with other criminal justice systems and inadequate resources. As a result, the institutions have become breeding grounds for recidivism. This paper examines the development of the prison system, the evolution of the challenges and abuse of human rights. It will also examine how institutions can be strengthened. The paper recommends the need for more research to unearth more innovative ways of dealing with the challenges. There is need for inbuilt mechanisms to ensure good governance and accountability, re-integration and allocation of resources. In essence, a multisectoral approach need to be adopted for sustainable solutions.

A study on the bridge of music intelligence to Chinese comprehension
Authors: Liu Wei-Yu 
Published: February 2020

This study aims to use the theory of multiple intelligences to explore the strategies of music intelligence bridging Chinese comprehension and their impacts on students’ learning. An action research was conducted since the purposes of this study are both to test multiple intelligences theory and to improve Chinese teaching.
Several models and approaches have been developed to apply multiple intelligences theory into practice in K-8 classrooms. Baum et al (2005) identified five pathways to apply multiple intelligences theory in the elementary classroom; they are Explorations, Building on Strengths, Understanding, Authentic Problems, and Talent Development. While Viens and Kallenbach (2004) labeled the first fourth as MI Reflections, Bridging Students' Areas of Strengths to Areas of Challenge, Entry/Exit Points, and Projects.
The approach of Bridging Students' Areas of Strengths to Areas of Challenge is to create a "bridge" from students' MI strengths to appropriate learning strategies, emphasizing using students' particular strengths to assist in areas of particular difficulty (Viens & Kallenbach, 2004). The models of Vocabulary-in-Song bridging Chinese reading comprehension was built and discussed. Teaching skills which must be coupled with the bridging model were discussed. The hope and limitation of Vocabulary-in-Song bridging Chinese reading comprehension were showed.

The study investigated planning the integration of technologies in higher institutions as a strategy for effective implementation of blended learning in universities in Rivers State. The design used was descriptive. The population of this study consisted of the 4,377 teaching staff in the three (3) public universities in Rivers State, comprising 2,348 male and 2,029 female teaching staff. The universities are the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State University and Ignatius Ajuru University of Education. The sample of this study was 590 elements, comprising 327 male and 263 female teaching staff that were drawn from the population using stratified random sampling technique. Instrument of data collection was a questionnaire that yielded a reliability index of 0.84, using test-retest and Pearson Product Moment Correlation techniques. The data generated were analysed using mean to answer research questions. z-test was used to test hypotheses at 0.05 significance level. Findings showed that aligning university's visions with the aspirations of full integration of blended learning into university system, provision of required communication networking infrastructures and modifying curriculum designs to become deliverable through blended learning mode are key ways of integrating blended learning in the university system. Recommendations made included that university managers should consider seriously, the advantages of blended learning in the school system, with a view to using planning to foster the integration of the learning innovation into the traditional face-to-face teaching and learning approach for improving students learning experiences and achievements.
Teaching Resilience to Aspiring Educational Leaders
Authors: Lamb Jodi A. , Carver Lin 
Published: February 2020

Resiliency in practicing and aspiring educational leaders is an attribute that contributes to extended effectiveness and longevity. This pilot study examines research about resiliency and compares the identified methods to those methods employed by university educational leadership programs to support and enhance resiliency development in their candidates. This pilot study examines survey Likert and open-ended responses from thirteen educational leadership programs throughout the United States with a combined total enrollment of over a thousand students. The strategies are divided into four categories based upon the ways that students interact with the resiliency content: concept building, vicarious, problem solving, or relationships. The literature indicated interpersonal and problem solving were the most influential activities recommended for teaching resilience; however, the most frequent types of activities identified by educational leadership programs were vicarious experiences and relationships. The preliminary findings indicate the importance of expanding problem solving experiences. In addition, a more thorough investigation of the role that interpersonal relationships play in developing resilience would be an important area for future study.
BİREYSEL EMEKLİLİK SİSTEMİNE OTOMATİK KATILIM: TÜRKİYE İÇİN BİR UYGULAMA
Authors: MERAL Hasan , ARICAN Erişah 
Published: February 2020

Emeklilik tasarrufları ülkelerin sahip olduğu en önemli finansal kaynaklar arasında yer almaktadır. Ayrıca,
bireysel emeklilik sistemi bu tasarrufların verimli bir şekilde yönetilmesi ve yatırıma yönlendirilmesi için kullanılan
etkili bir araçtır. Ancak BES’e katılım genellikle gönüllü olduğundan, bu sistemlerin kapsama oranları beklenen
seviyelere ulaşamamaktadır. Bu noktada, bireysel emeklilik sistemine otomatik katılım uygulaması, çalışanları
sisteme otomatik olarak dahil ederek BES’in kapsama oranının artmasını sağlamaktadır.
Çalışmada, bireysel emeklilik otomatik katılım uygulaması genel hatlarıyla incelenmiş ve Türkiye’deki uygulama
seçili dünya ülkeleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Ayrıca otomatik katılım uygulamasına sahip ülkelerdeki BES
fon büyüklüğü/GSYH oranını etkileyen faktörler üzerinden ekonometrik analiz yapılmıştır. Modelin sonuçları;
otomatik katılım uygulamasında geçen süre ile BES fon büyüklüğü/GSYH oranı arasında pozitif yönlü ve güçlü
bir bağlantı olduğunu ortaya konmuştur.
Bu bağlamda bireysel emeklilik sistemine otomatik katılım uygulaması, Türkiye’nin hem bugünkü hem
de gelecekteki ekonomik refahını artırabilecek, önemli bir tasarruf aracıdır. Sistemde geçen iki yılın sonunda
önemli kazanımlar elde edilmiş olsa da ülkedeki uygulama potansiyelin oldukça gerisinde bir performans sergilemektedir.
Yeni dönemde uygulanacak politikalar, sistemin tüm paydaşlarının görüş ve önerileri alınarak belirlenmeli
ve uzun vadeli bir stratejik plan kapsamında hayata geçirilmelidir.
