Thirty (30) weaned crossbred (Landrace × large white) pigs with an average body weight of 8.5±0.4 kg was used to evaluate performance and nutrient digestibility of weaned pigs fed five experimental diets containing cereal milling by-products. Diet 1 contained maize offal, while diets 2, 3, 4 and 5 contained wheat offal, sorghum offal, millet offal and rice offal respectively. The animals were balanced for sex and weight then allotted to five dietary treatments replicated three times in a completely randomized design. Data were collected on feed intake and weight gain for a period of eight weeks. A digestibility trial was carried at the end of the feeding trial using three pigs per treatment. Data collected were subjected to oneway analysis of variance. The result of growth performance and nutrient digestibility showed that average feed intake, final body weight as well as digestibility of dry matter, crude fibre, ether extracts, crude protein and ash were higher (P<0.05) for pigs fed T1 (maize offal), T2 (wheat offal), T3 (sorghum offal) and T4 (millet offal), while those on T5 (Rice offal) had the lowest growth and nutrient digestibility. It was concluded that maize offal, wheat offal, sorghum offal, millet offal can be used in weaner pigs' diet.

Trente (30) porcs croisés sevrés (Landrace × Large white) d'un poids corporel moyen de 8,5 ± 0,4 kg ont été utilisés pour évaluer les performances et la digestibilité des nutriments de porcs sevrés nourris avec cinq régimes expérimentaux contenant des sous-produits de la mouture de céréales. Le régime 1 contenait des as des aliments de maïs, tandis que les régimes 2, 3, 4 et 5 contenaient respectivement des aliments de blé, des aliments de sorgho, des aliments de mil et des aliments de riz. Les animaux ont été équilibrés pour le sexe et le poids puis attribués à cinq traitements diététiques répétés trois fois dans une conception complètement aléatoire. Des données ont été recueillies sur la prise alimentaire et la prise de poids pendant une période de huit semaines. Un essai de digestibilité a été réalisé à la fin de test d'alimentation en utilisant trois porcs par traitement. Les données collectées ont été soumises à une analyse unidirectionnelle de la variance. Le résultat des performances de croissance et de la digestibilité des nutriments a montré que l'apport alimentaire moyen, le poids corporel final ainsi que la digestibilité de la matière sèche, des fibres brutes, des extraits d'éther, des protéines brutes et des cendres étaient plus élevés (P <0,05) pour les porcs nourris au T1 (aliments de maïs). , T2 (aliments de blé), T3 (aliments de sorgho) et T4 (aliments de millet), tandis que ceux de T5 (aliments de riz) avaient la plus faible croissance et digestibilité des éléments nutritifs. Il a été conclu que les aliments de maïs, les aliments de blé, les aliments de sorgho, les aliments de millet peut être utilisé dans l'alimentation des porcs sevrés.

Authors: Tuble Ruvy M. , Bayoneta Ma. Johanna Ann R. 
Published: February 2021

This descriptive research examined the state of public libraries in Negros Occidental as to its compliance with RA 7743; its performance based on standard requirement; and implementation of greening practices to 31 administrators and 379 users. Findings revealed that most of the provisions of the law were not complied as indicated by the number of municipalities without libraries, the appointment of a non-professional librarian, and the inadequacy of budget allocation. Likewise, assessors find their performance as good but distinctively rated IT facilities and services as poor. In the implementation of sustainable practices, administrators rated it great, while users find it to a moderate extent. The challenges encountered by assessors conveys a clear message that public libraries are striving to fulfill its philosophy of existence. Thus, broader knowledge and understanding of local authorities and the community of the vital role public library plays in nation-building shape its future.
Economic and Social Implications and Challenges of Relocation of Street Vendors in a Highly Urbanized City

Published: February 2021

On July 29, 2019, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) issued Memorandum Circular 2019-121 (DILG MC 2019-121), ordering the local chief executives to clear roads, sidewalks, and rights-of-way of obstructions. The descriptive-comparative research design was used to describe the economic and social implications of their relocation. A validated and reliability-tested survey questionnaire was used to gather data from 197 displaced vendors peddling in the downtown of a highly urbanized city. The findings of the study showed that the relocation of the displaced vendors did not change their economic conditions in terms of their average monthly sales, expenses, and income, but significantly differ when grouped and compared according to their age, educational attainment, family size, years of vending, and types of merchandise. Likewise, their social well-being did not change in terms of education and health and significantly differ when grouped and compared according to the aforementioned variables. Moreover, the major challenges faced by the relocated vendors were as follows: their means of livelihood is very difficult; not enough financial support is given during their relocation; limited space/trading site; and lack of access to the credit facility. The local government may utilize the study to implement a transit-oriented development of these vendors.

The creation of a mission territory evangelized for many decades or centuries by Augustinian Recollect missionaries into an apostolic vicariate or diocese was always an occasion for jubilation for them and crowing glory of their efforts. This was the case of the Diocese of Bacolod in Negros Island whose evangelization was entrusted to them in 1848. Thus the Recollect priests of the welcomed the good news and the arrival of the newly consecrated first local ordinary of Bacolod, Bishop Casimiro Lladoc, and his Manila entourage that included the Apostolic Delegate Guglielmo Piani, Bishop McCloskey of Jaro, and Father Leoncio Reta at Talisay parish church on 24 October 1933, earnestly urged parishioners to greet him along the way to the Recollect-built San Sebastian Cathedral and feted him with programs, speeches, and festive meals.

Suicide is described as death caused by self-directed injurious behavior with any intent to die as a result of the behavior. Adolescence is a period of marked risk for suicide. This study was carried out to find out the relationship of parenting style and suicidal ideation of adolescents. A sample of (N= 200) with age range of 13 to 19 years from different schools of Khyber Pakhtun Khwa, Pakistan was selected. Two instruments were used in study: Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), and Suicidal Risk Scale (SRS). Pearson partial correlation was applied to analyze the data. The findings shows permissive mother parenting style is significantly positively correlated with authoritarian mother parenting, permissive father parenting, authoritarian father parenting, and suicidal ideation. Whereas, authoritarian mother parenting style significantly positively correlated with permissive father parenting, authoritarian father parenting, and suicidal ideation. Meanwhile authoritative/flexible mother parenting style is significantly negatively correlated with permissive father parenting, authoritarian father parenting, and suicidal ideation.

Ireverzibilna elektroporacija kot metoda ablacije mehkih tkiv: pregled in izzivi pri uporabi v kliničnem okolju
Authors: Cindrič Helena , Kos Bor , Miklavčič Damijan 
Published: February 2021

Koncept ireverzibilne elektroporacije kot samostojne ablacijske metode je bil prvič predstavljen pred petnajstimi leti. Ireverzibilna elektroporacija predstavlja alternativo uveljavljenim termičnim ablacijskim metodam, saj mehanizem uničevanja celic ni pogojen z dvigom temperature. Zaradi ne-termičnega načina delovanja se zaenkrat uporablja predvsem v primerih, kjer uporaba termične ablacije ni mogoča zaradi nevarnosti poškodovanja bližnjih občutljivih anatomskih struktur ali kjer je učinkovitost ablacije zmanjšana zaradi odvajanja toplote (t. i. heat sink učinek). Trenutno se ireverzibilna elektroporacija v medicini uporablja predvsem za odstranjevanje globlje ležečih tumorjev, na primer v jetrih, prostati in ledvicah. V zadnjih letih je veliko zanimanja vzbudila tudi uporaba v srcu, in sicer za zdravljenje različnih motenj srčnega ritma. Ker je ablacija z ireverzibilno elektroporacijo relativno nova tehnologija, še vedno ni vzpostavljenih standardnih protokolov zdravljenja in postopkov načrtovanja zdravljenja. Numerične metode so nepogrešljivo orodje pri preučevanju fenomena elektroporacije in pri pripravi bolnikom prilagojenih načrtov zdravljenja. Prispevek obsega kratek pregled dosedanje uporabe ireverzibilne elektroporacije v kliničnem okolju, povzema prednosti in osvetljuje glavne izzive pri vpeljavi te obetavne ablacijske metode v klinično prakso.

A nutty idea: Exploring a novel method using a hazelnut cocoa spread to temporarily increase maternal care behavior within a rat litter
Authors: Roberge Chelsea L. , Wallin Chela M. , Tilson Kristy , Brummelte Suanne 
Published: February 2021

AbstractMaternal care plays a crucial role for infant development. In humans, skin‐to‐skin care is often used for preterm infants to reduce acute stress and improve long‐term developmental outcome. Here we propose a new translational approach to study the effects of acute increases in maternal care on offspring development in rodents. First, pilot studies determined that dams spent more time licking pups covered in hazelnut cocoa spread (Nutella®)) than any other studied substance. For the main experiment, Sprague–Dawley rats were bred in‐house, and Nutella® was applied four times a day to treatment pups (2 males/females per litter) of seven litters from PN2 to 5. Control pups (2 males/females per litter) were handled similarly without applying any substance. Maternal licking and grooming behavior was observed for 30 min following each Nutella® application. Nutella®‐covered pups received significantly more licking and grooming compared to control pups within each litter. There was no difference in body weight or basal serum corticosterone levels between Nutella®‐covered and control pups on PN5, suggesting that the Nutella® application and subsequent increased maternal licking was not stressful for the pups. Future studies will investigate whether this increase in maternal care can protect pups from stress‐ or pain‐induced rises in corticosterone.

AbstractDespite clinical remission and normal platelet counts, congenital TTP (cTTP) is associated with non‐overt symptoms. Prophylactic ADAMTS13 replacement therapy such as plasma infusion (PI) prevents acute episodes and improves symptomatology. There is no current method to investigate disease severity or monitor the impact of treatment. We utilize a dynamic high shear flow assay to further understand disease pathophysiology and determine the impact of cTTP on symptomatology and therapy, despite normal platelet counts. Whole blood, under high shear, was run over collagen‐coated channels, causing platelet adhesion to von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers. The resulting surface coverage by platelet‐VWF thrombus was assessed. The normal range was 6–39% in 50 controls. Twenty‐two cTTP patients with normal platelet counts were evaluated. Median pre‐treatment surface coverage was 89%, and PI reduced coverage to a median of 44% (p = 0.0005). Patients taking antiplatelets had further reduced coverage when combined with PI and improved non‐overt symptoms such as headache, lethargy, and abdominal pain in 100% of patients compared to 74% with PI alone (p = 0.046). We use a dynamic assay to report increased in vitro platelet adhesion and aggregation and additionally demonstrate significantly decreased thrombi following PI, with levels in the normal range levels achieved in patients taking additional antiplatelet therapy.
Efficient stress‐constrained topology optimization using inexact design sensitivities
Authors: Amir Oded 
Published: February 2021

AbstractAn efficient computational approach to stress‐constrained topology optimization is presented. Using a multigrid‐preconditioned Krylov solver for the state and adjoint problems, the number of Krylov iterations is reduced significantly by enforcing early termination of the iterative solves. The criterion for early termination is based on the convergence of the design sensitivities with respect to Krylov iterations. Consequently, the progress of optimization is not affected by the inexact resolution of the state and adjoint problems. The proposed approach is demonstrated on several design problems that possess different characteristics of the maximum stress. Optimization results obtained with early termination show very good agreement with those obtained with an accurate direct solver—in terms of objective value, constrained maximum stress and overall number of design cycles. Savings of 80% in the number of Krylov iterations are achieved, compared to the number of iterations required to satisfy the force residual convergence criterion to a common tolerance. The approach is directly applicable to high‐resolution problems that are solved on parallel computational environments. A MATLAB code for reproducing the results is freely available at

Enoxaparin versus unfractionated heparin for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in renally impaired ICU patients
Authors: DeBiase Christopher , Giuliano Christopher A. , Doshi Mitesh , Ganoff Michelle , Alexander Paxton Renee 
Published: February 2021

AbstractIntroductionIntensive care unit (ICU) patients with renal insufficiency are more likely to develop venous thromboembolism and are at an increased risk for bleeding. There is conflicting data on whether enoxaparin or unfractionated heparin (UFH) is preferred for preventing thromboembolism in this population. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety of prophylactic enoxaparin versus UFH in ICU patients with renal impairment.MethodsWe conducted a single‐center, retrospective cohort study of ICU patients with renal impairment who received venous thromboembolism prophylaxis with either enoxaparin or UFH. Patients were included if they were at least 18 years of age, had renal impairment (acute kidney injury, severely decreased renal function, or end‐stage renal disease), and an ICU length of stay ≥72 h. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients experiencing a major bleeding event, including fatal bleed, symptomatic bleed in a critical area, or bleeding causing a ≥2 g/dl decrease in hemoglobin leading to a transfusion of ≥2 units of packed red blood cells.ResultsA total of 460 patients were included in the study. Of these, 231 received enoxaparin and 229 received UFH. In the unadjusted analysis, there was no difference in major bleeding events observed with enoxaparin compared to UFH (29.4% vs. 22.3%; p = 0.08) or rates of venous thromboembolism (4.3% vs. 3.5%; p = 0.64), respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors, enoxaparin showed a significant increase in major bleeding (OR: 1.84; 95% CI: 1.11 – 3.04; p = 0.02).ConclusionThromboprophylaxis with enoxaparin in critically ill patients with renal impairment was associated with an increased risk of major bleeding compared to UFH.

AbstractSelf‐medication can facilitate patients’ access to medicinal products, save time, and reduce financial and health‐care service use burden. On the other hand, irresponsible use of self‐medications can result in adverse consequences. Self‐medication is common among different demographic groups including pregnant women. In general, medicinal products might have harmful effects on mothers and baby. This study aimed to assess self‐medication practices among pregnant women in the northern region of Jordan. A cross‐sectional study was conducted on pregnant women attending outpatient clinics in the northern region of Jordan. Self‐medication practices among the target population were assessed using a survey questionnaire that was administered through interviewer‐assisted mode. Data were collected between December 2019 and September 2020, and descriptive statistics and inferential analysis were applied. A total of 1,313 pregnant women were surveyed (response rate = 95.50%). Self‐medication and the use of herbal remedies were practiced by 33.10% and 32.14% of the participant, respectively. Headaches and general pains were the most frequently reported conditions treated by self‐medication practice with either conventional medicinal products or herbal remedies. The gravidity (≥4) and the gestational stage (≥28 weeks) were the predictors of self‐medication practice. This study showed that self‐medication was not widely practiced by pregnant women in the northern region of Jordan. Disease simplicity and previous history were the main motives for self‐medicating. Efforts should be made by health‐care providers to address pregnant women and educate them to increase their awareness about the unsafe use of medicines and the harmful effects on fetus.

AbstractClopidogrel resistance is an important risk factor of ischemic event recurrence after optimal antiplatelet therapy. This study aims to investigate the role of CYP2C19 gene DNA methylation as one of the epigenetic factors for the risk of clopidogrel resistance in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI. ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing PPCI were pretreated with clopidogrel, and their platelet function was measured using VerifyNow™ assay. The criteria for high on‐treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) were defined according to the expert consensus criteria (PRU >208). DNA methylation of the CYP2C19 gene was performed using bisulfite genomic sequencing technology. Furthermore, clinical, laboratory, and angiographic data including TIMI flow were collected. Among 122 patients, clopidogrel resistance was found in 22%. DNA methylation level percentage was lower in the clopidogrel resistance group (76.7 vs. 88.8, p‐value .038). But, the <50% methylation group was associated with increased risk of clopidogrel resistance (OR =4.5, 95%CI =2.1–9.3, p‐value = .018). This group was also found to have suboptimal post‐PCI TIMI flow (OR =3.4 95%CI =1.3–8.7, p‐value =.045). The lower DNA methylation level of the CYP2C19 gene increases the risk of clopidogrel resistance and subsequent poorer clinical outcome.
