Ciguatoxin-like toxin in mackerel <i>Acanthocybium soladria</i> in Vietnam
Authors: Ha Dao Viet , Vy Phan Bao 
Published: May 2020

Two processed mackerel products were sent to VAST keylab on “Food and Environmental Safety” in Institute of Oceanography for Ciguatoxin criteria as exported seafood requirement. The specimens were caught from offshore region of Vietnam South-Eastern sea in April 2019. By DNA sequencing of COI gene, both specimens were identified as Acanthocybium solandri, one of high commercial mackerel species which is well-known to be distributed in Central and South-Eastern sea of Vietnam. In mouse bioassay, both extracts from 2 samples exhibited acute toxicity, which killed tested mice within 6 and 15 hours after i.p. injection. In SIM LC/MS-MS analysis, the extracts showed the peak with retention time closed to that in CTX-1B standard in both cases of optimized and non-optimized solid phases. The result suggested that at least there was occurrence of CTX-like toxin in these mackerel specimens. The equivalent toxin levels were estimated as 0.51 ng/g and 0.84 ng/g; 5 and 8 times higher than regulation limit for CTXs in seafood product (0.1 ng CTX-1B/g). Further verification is in progress to confirm toxin in these mackerel samples in Vietnam. However, this data is the first alert on potential poisoning by consumption of mackerel, not only in Vietnam but also in Asia.
Intergenerational Brand Transfer on Cosmetics Products
Authors: Ting Su-Ding 
Published: May 2020

The study examined intergenerational brand transfer from mother to daughter for cosmetics products using evolutionary psychology as the framework. Studies were conducted involving interview data with 30 participants in Sibu, Sarawak that is an East Malaysian state on Borneo Kalimantan Island for in-depth interviews. The interview was carried on 15 dyads of mothers and daughters. Purposive sampling was conducted, and participants were sought from college, church, and other social contacts. The results showed that the finding is in line with the evolutionary psychology framework in that their influence of the brand preferences and purchasing factors is relatively high where the daughters had adopted their mothers’ behavior and thinking in product selection. Besides the mother, the extended family also influenced the daughter’s choice of cosmetics brands because families are close-knit and communalistic in Sibu, where the study was conducted. The findings offer information on the brand transfer in mother to daughter.
Ultra-fast Broadband: The New Zealand Experience
Authors: Milner Murray Owen 
Published: May 2020

This paper outlines the key learnings from the first decade of the Ultra-fast Broadband (UFB) and its associated Rural Broadband initiatives (RBI) in New Zealand. The UFB initiative provides the opportunity for 87% of New Zealand premises to have access to broadband using Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) technology. The remaining 13% of premises have access to enhanced wireless broadband. These initiatives are due for completion by year end 2023 and are showing promising results as at the end of 2019.
The success of these initiatives has not been achieved without a lot of challenges along the journey. However, as it is shown in the paper, the alignment of policy around broadband development across government and the establishment of a set of policy objectives and principles at the outset has enabled the initiatives to stay on track over time, relative to the original intentions. The establishment of these policy principles and the strict adherence to these principles throughout the execution of the initiatives has been the most significant learning from this substantial programme of telecommunications development in New Zealand.

Published: May 2020

Background: Iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy is a serious global concern specially in developing country, which is preventable with effective measures. In women who cannot tolerate oral iron or have moderate to severe anemia, parenteral iron in the form of iron sucrose or ferric carboxymaltose can be very much useful. This study aimed to compare efficacy and safety of iron sucrose and ferric carboxymaltose in iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.Methods: This prospective interventional comparative study was conducted during May 2016 to April 2018 at tertiary care hospital and total 100 antenatal women from 28 to 34 weeks of gestation having moderate to severe anemia were included in this study and all women were divided in to 2 groups randomly and were given either iron sucrose or ferric carboxymaltose according to iron requirement. Rise in haemoglobin and serum ferritin were noted and data analysed statistically.Results: The mean rise of haemoglobin with iron sucrose was 1.8 gm% and with ferric carboxymaltose was 2.6 gm%. The mean rise of serum ferritin with iron sucrose was 82.4 ng/ml and with ferric carboxymaltose was 100.9 ng/ml. Other than minimal local reaction one woman had developed severe anaphylactic reaction after receiving iron sucrose.Conclusions: Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose is better and safe molecule than iron sucrose and it has advantage of ability to administer large dose in single sitting which reduce overall cost of therapy. Hence ferric carboxymaltose is a drug of choice as parenteral iron therapy in iron deficiency anemia during second trimester of pregnancy.

Published: May 2020

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the article is to introduce the concept of patriotism into scientific circulation as a cultural universal as an alternative to the predominant politicization of this concept. The interpretation of this topic in various socio-political contexts presents a lot of discrepancies and contradictory characteristics associated with the ideological and political preferences of researchers.
Methodology: The research methodology is based on a situational and interactive approach to the study of socio-cultural processes and phenomena that are present in the study of social systems, as well as in cross-cultural studies and research of intercultural communication.
Main Findings: The main results of the study are the identification of the possibilities of an interactive and situational approach in the study of patriotism, the development of a common strategy for the formation of patriotism as a sequence of stages of socialization of an individual, and identification of the decisive influence of spiritual culture on the real social experience of a patriotic orientation.
Applications of this study: The results of the study open up prospects for further study of patriotism as a cultural universal, regardless of a particular political regime or national and cultural characteristics of certain countries and peoples. This can significantly expand the concept of patriotism, without linking the latter only to the specifics of its interpretation in a particular society, ethnic group or community, maintaining the necessary balance between communication and interaction in the formation of patriotism.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of the research consists in the use of an interactive and situational approach to the study and formation of patriotism, based on deep socio-anthropological patterns of formation and development of social groups and communities, as well as in the identified stages (situations and levels) of the formation of patriotism in real society, which can be quite stable and productive.

Published: May 2020

Os prejuízos nos níveis de compreensão leitora de educandos diagnosticados com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) aparecem documentados em pesquisas científicas. Nesse cenário, o desenvolvimento de programas de intervenção que possam remediar, precocemente, esses déficits são essenciais. O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a eficácia de uma adaptação do programa de intervenção leitora, denominado Reading to Engage Children with Autism in Language and Learning (RECALL). Esse programa incorpora práticas interventivas, baseadas em evidências empíricas, a um modelo de Leitura Dialógica. No caso, uma mãe foi capacitada a empregar estratégias do programa, durante rotinas de leitura com o seu filho, de 6 anos, diagnosticado com TEA. Por meio de um delineamento de pesquisa quase-experimental intrassujeitos, os efeitos das práticas do RECALL, implementadas pela mãe, foram avaliados quanto ao nível de responsividade de seu filho. Os resultados evidenciaram a incorporação parcial das estratégias no repertório de comportamento da mãe e aumento na frequência de ocorrência de turnos comunicativos da criança. Ganhos qualitativos foram identificados no comportamento da díade, incluindo-se melhorias nos níveis de compreensão leitora do menino. Contribuições e limitações do estudo são colocadas em discussão.
