Outsourcing from the Perspectives of Competitive Capabilities and Supplier Innovation in the Hotel Sector
Authors: Espino-Rodriguez Tomas F. , Gebril Taha Admed Mahmoud , Gil-Padilla Antonia María 
Published: December 2022

This study aims to identify the outsourcing levels of the main activities or processes carried out in a hotel and the main benefits perceived by hotel managers. It proposes a model that explores the impact of supplier innovation on the perceived benefits of outsourcing, the relationship between supplier innovation and outsourcing, and competitive capabilities related to cost, quality, flexibility, and delivery. A personal questionnaire was designed for the directors and managers of 114 hotels located in Egypt to achieve this objective. A structural model has been developed to test the hypotheses. The findings indicate that supplier innovation positively influences the perceived benefits of outsourcing. They also show that supplier innovation positively influences competitive capabilities related to quality, flexibility, and delivery. In contrast, outsourcing alone only influences the competitive capability related to cost, with no impact on other competitive capabilities. From a practical point of view, the study identified which activities are outsourced more often and which are not, as well as the main benefits of outsourcing perceived by managers. These results help managers determine which activities are outsourced in the hotel sector and how their hotel is positioned in outsourcing. This paper presents the first empirical study to analyse the relationship between supplier innovation's impact and outsourcing benefits. It is also the first empirical research to consider the relationship between outsourcing and supplier innovation and competitive capabilities.

Biofilm Detachment and Its Implication in Spreading Biofilm-Related Infections
Authors: Gupta Akshat , Srivastava Anmol , Agarwal Vishnu 
Published: December 2022

AbstractBiofilms are a community of microorganisms formed on both abiotic and biotic surfaces. These colonies play a vital role in the virulent life cycle of bacteria. Bacteria communicate intrinsically and extrinsically to grow and eventually disperse their virulent factors, ultimately leading to diseases. Biofilm dispersion is the last stage in this life cycle; at this stage, the biofilm has completed maturation. The microorganism then disperses as the biofilm ruptures and assumes a planktonic lifestyle until they find a new surface to attach to and repeat the cycle. This mechanism plays a vital role in the pathogenicity of the microorganism and can be triggered prematurely to disrupt the microorganism's virulent nature. In this mini-review, we have summarized biofilm dispersion, its mechanisms, and the factors influenced by, focusing on their effect on the pathogen's virulence. We have also discussed the significance of quorum sensing and the modern methods used to develop quorum sensing inhibitors through in-silico approaches.
Effect of Calcium Silicate Supplementation on the Growth of Trigonella Foenum-Graecum L. Variety Hisar Sonali Under Saline Conditions
Authors: Kapoor Riti Thapar 
Published: December 2022

AbstractSalinity is a major abiotic stress which decreases crop productivity. Salt stress also causes osmotic, water, ionic and oxidative stresses. Plants exposure to salt can check their growth by reduction in water and nutrient uptake, osmotic imbalance and cytotoxicity incited by sodium and chloride ions. Present study deals with the impact of salt on germination, growth and physiological components of fenugreek and its alleviation by the application of calcium silicate. The salt stress reduced fenugreek germination and growth but supplementation of calcium silicate to salt stressed seedlings mitigated deleterious impacts of salinity. Various parameters like germination, seedling length, biomass, pigment and protein contents of fenugreek seedlings were significantly improved with calcium silicate under salt stress. Maximum reduction 53.3% in protein amount was recorded in fenugreek seedlings treated with NaCl (10 mM) over control. Significant increase in total antioxidant content in fenugreek seedlings was observed with calcium silicate as it showed the following order: Ca2SiO4 > NaCl + Ca2SiO4 > NaCl > Control. Hence, application of calcium silicate can be useful for the fenugreek plants growing under saline conditions.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe application of electrophoretic technique to study allozyme enzymatic variation has been extensively used to explore hidden genetic variability in natural population and laboratory colonies of many calliphorid flies. Genetic variation at three enzyme loci viz., Alkaline phosphatase (APH), Xanthin dehydrogenase(XDH)and Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) in laboratory colonies of Chrysomya megacephalawere investigated by using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). In APH three zones of activity were observed. Which have been designated as APH-1, APH-2, and APH-3 in order of increasing anodal migration. The electrophoretic phenotypes with two codominant alleles were observed at APH-3loci. In MDH and XDH only one zone of activity was observed.
RAPD-PCR-Based Genetic Relationships Among Three Forensically Important Calliphorid Species (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
Authors: Malviya Shubhra , Agrawal Sarita 
Published: December 2022

AbstractMolecular genetic markers have been effectively used to analyze genetic relationships and diversity among different groups of dipterans. The emergence of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) facilitated analysis of molecular markers e.g., Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RAPD-PCR), has contributed a great deal in resolving the genetic relatedness in many dipterans of medical, veterinary, and economic importance. In the present study, an attempt has been made to explore the phylogenetic relationships among three calliphorid species, namely Hemipyrellia pulchra (Weidemann) and Lucilia cuprina (Weidemann), Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius), employing Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RAPD-PCR) technique using twenty random decamer primers. Complete genomic DNA was isolated from the three species and amplified by PCR using twenty random decamer primers. A total of 285 bands ranging from 141 bp to 2648 bp were generated. Tools for population genetic analysis (TFPGA) software was used to calculate genetic identity among the three species. A close relationship among the three species is reflected by high values of mean Genetic identity (0.661–0.713).
The Feasibility Study of Green Microalgae Assisted Coal Mine Effluent Desalination
Authors: Rawat Shweta , Kumar Sanjay 
Published: December 2022

AbstractCarbon-neutral sustainable approaches are highly demanding in the coal energy sector. Coal mine effluent disposal is a severe challenge with crucial concern issues of salinity hazard and heavy metal contamination due to long-duration water and coal interaction. The medium to the high salinity of coal mine effluent leads towards irrigation unsuitability due to the negative impact upon infiltration and permeability of nutrients from the soil to plant. Focusing on the international irrigation water quality standards given by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, most coal mine effluents are considered negatively impacting crops, soil fertility, groundwater, and aquatic life. Therefore, the current study investigates the direct cultivation suitability of Chlorella pyrenoidosa to simultaneously treat coal mine effluent for salinity removal and biomass production. Initially, C. pyrenoidosa culture adaptation in varying concentrations of coal mine effluents (25%–100%) in coal mine effluent, which are collected from two different points of coal mine named as coal mine effluent 1 (CME1) and coal mine effluent 2 (CME2). Evaluating C. pyrenoidosa growth kinetics, it was observed that the doubling time extended from 2.25 days (100% BG-11 as a medium; control) to 4.33 days (100% CME as a medium). Interestingly, the highest value for biomass production was 1.78 ± 0.12 g/ L with 25% CME 1 supplemented with essential growth nutrients; this value lies near 100% BG11 supplemented growth, 1.81 ± 0.05 g/L. In the current study, taking salinity removal as a prime concern, 100% utilization of CME-2 in place of BG-11 medium was very significant for salinity reduction from 4.80 ± 0.50 mS/cm (initial) to 0.98 ± 0.02 mS/cm (final) during 14 days batch growth. In continuation of that, the significant finding was salinity reduction of both samples (50% and 75% sample) to the level of 0.7 mS/ cm, which lies under the FAO guidelines for irrigation. Present findings also revealed an alternative to conventional processes, i.e., thermal and membrane desalination. Microalgae-assisted desalination is a novel, energy-efficient, eco-sustainable, cost-effective, and long-term operational approach. It has good potential to treat medium to sub-optimal salinity of coal mine effluent coupled with high-value biomass production.

Published: December 2022

Abstract : Broken Homes often occur in social life, especially in divorce cases, with various causes that make husband and wife decide to divorce. As a result of the divorce, one parent must leave the house and the child must choose one of them. The impact that arises as a result of this divorce is the communication process that exists between parents and children who do not live together. Therefore, family communication patterns are very important in family relationships even though they are separated.
In general, the purpose of this research is to determine the communication patterns of parents and children in broken home families. The theory used is the pattern of family communication using qualitative research methods. Data collection techniques used are observation and in-depth interviews.
The results obtained are: communication patterns of parents and children using family communication patterns consisting of equation communication patterns, separate balanced communication patterns, separate unbalanced communication patterns, and monopoly communication patterns.
It can be concluded that the communication pattern of parents and children after the divorce has an impact on the relationship and changes in the nature of parents and children. So it can be said that a broken home has an impact on the relationship between parents and children and their personality.

Published: December 2022

The Barcode of Life Consortium (CBOL) recommended a standard method for the identification of plant species using matK and rbcL barcoding gene. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficiency of matK DNA barcoding for identification of local durian (Durio sp.) from Ternate Island. Total 15 local durian has been used in this study. Whole genom DNA was isolated by Geneid plant DNA kit and then successfully amplified by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique using specific primer. MatK successfully amplified with 245 bp in length. MatK has sequencing success (71.3%) and relative high of Quality value 20+ (86%). BLAST analysis of the sequence showed that local durian in Ternate are identifies as Durio zibethinus and Neesia malayana with query cover 97%-99%. It could be concluded that matK with short sequence is not efficience for durian identification. The recommended in this studies for using of molecular markers with sequence lengths above 500 bp would be more effective for the identification of cryptic species Durio sp. and other.

Background: Evidence on the long-term efficacy of steroids in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) after loss of ambulation is limited. Objective: Characterize and compare disease progression by steroid treatment (prednisone, deflazacort, or no steroids) among non-ambulatory boys with DMD. Methods: Disease progression was measured by functional status (Performance of Upper Limb Module for DMD 1.2 [PUL] and Egen Klassifikation Scale Version 2 [EK] scale) and by cardiac and pulmonary function (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], forced vital capacity [FVC] % -predicted, cough peak flow [CPF]). Longitudinal changes in outcomes, progression to key disease milestones, and dosing and body composition metrics were analyzed descriptively and in multivariate models. Results: This longitudinal cohort study included 86 non-ambulatory patients with DMD (mean age 13.4 years; n = 40 [deflazacort], n = 29 [prednisone], n = 17 [no steroids]). Deflazacort use resulted in slower average declines in FVC % -predicted vs. no steroids (+3.73 percentage points/year, p < 0.05). Both steroids were associated with significantly slower average declines in LVEF, improvement in CPF, and slower declines in total PUL score and EK total score vs. no steroids; deflazacort was associated with slower declines in total PUL score vs. prednisone (all p < 0.05). Both steroids also preserved functional abilities considered especially important to quality of life, including the abilities to perform hand-to-mouth function and to turn in bed at night unaided (all p < 0.05 vs. no steroids). Conclusions: Steroid use after loss of ambulation in DMD was associated with delayed progression of important pulmonary, cardiac, and upper extremity functional deficits, suggesting some benefits of deflazacort over prednisone.
Signboards Prohibiting Tobacco Sale Within 100 Yards of Educational Institutes: The Appraisal of Prohibition Compliance and On-Ground Status of the Anti-smoking Law in New Delhi's Major Administrative Precinct
Authors: Singh Raja 
Published: December 2022

Cigarette smoking and tobacco use pose a threat to the health of young adults and adolescents. The availability of tobacco vendors near educational institutes means higher availability to a vulnerable population. The Indian Government has enacted the Cigarettes and other Tobacco products (prohibition of advertisement and regulation of trade and commerce, production, supply and distribution) Act, 2003, or the COTPA Act, 2003 under a WHO resolution, which has further rules notified. Two important rules are prohibiting the sale of tobacco products within 100 yards of educational institutes and installing a signboard stating the prohibition to sell the same. This compliance was checked in 62 educational institutions in the administrative centre of India's capital, New Delhi. The compliance of both the points, especially something easy as installations of boards is poor and less than half of the institutions had implemented. Tobacco sellers within 100 yards were present. Beyond 100 yards, but within reach was also where tobacco sellers were present. To save young adults, the compliance of COTPA, 2003 must be made strict and offenders punished severely.

Three-month-old infants show enhanced behavioral and neural sensitivity to fearful faces
Authors: Safar Kristina , Moulson Margaret 
Published: December 2022

<p>An important feature of the development of emotion recognition in infants is the emergence of a robust attentional bias for fearful faces. There is some debate about when this enhanced sensitivity to fearful expressions develops. The current study explored whether 3-month-olds demonstrate differential behavioral and neural responding to happy and fearful faces. Three-month-old infants (n ¼ 69) participated in a behavioral task that assessed whether they show a visual preference for fearful faces and an event-related potential (ERP) task that assessed their neural responses to fearful and happy faces. Infants showed a looking preference for fearful over happy faces. They also showed differential neural responding over occiptotemporal regions that have been implicated in face perception (i.e., N290, P400), but not over frontocentral regions that have been implicated in attentional processes (i.e., Nc). These findings suggest that 3-month-olds display an early perceptual sensitivity to fearful faces, which may presage the emergence of the attentional bias for fearful faces in older infants. Tracking the ontogeny of this phenomenon is necessary to understand its relationship with later developmental outcomes. </p>
