description: Although several studies have reported co-occurrence of mycotoxins in fish feed limited information is available on the physiological effects. In the current study, the single and combined effect of added dietary AFB1 and ZEN in various concentrations for 60 days was tested in rainbow trout on growth parameters, mortality, intestinal digestive enzymes activity and on serum and intestinal oxidative stress and immunological parameters and on intestinal histopathology, versus untreated controls. Both mycotoxins groups irrespective of concentration, showed a significant deterioration of SGR and FCR as compared to control, whereas no consistent differences in mortality were present. The small intestinal enzyme activity was significantly reduced by ZEN in particular at the higher mycotoxin concentrations and when combined with AFB1. Serum and intestinal immunological parameters were significantly affected largely consistent with additive and synergistic negative effects on the (innate) immune system, in particular enhanced inflammation. The latter was also reflected in the serum and intestinal oxidative stress parameters. Histopathological examination showed decreasing villus length and Goblet cell density with increasing mycotoxin load. It is concluded that the combination of AFB1 and ZEN clearly increased the toxic effect on the fish as far as the serum and intestinal parameters are concerned. This is in some cases merely additive, but clear synergistic toxicity was seen too, in particular at the higher mycotoxin concentrations. Surprisingly, the increasing intestinal impairment did not translate into increased growth retardation and mortality since those were similar in all non-control groups. This may be consistent with anabolic effects of mycotoxin (metabolites) as has been described before.

Pararhynchelmis

description: Pararhynchelmis n. gen.
Included species: Pararhynchelmis murdocki n. sp.
Diagnosis. Small worms with rounded prostomium. Lateral blood vessels in middle and posterior segments unbranched. Preclitellar nephridia on 6/7. Pharynx without a distinct dorsal pad. Male pores in X, behind and slightly medial to chaetae; spermathecal pores inconspicuous, paired in VIII and IX, behind and slightly medial to chaetae; female pores on chaetal line, intersegmental on 11/12. Testes in IX and X, ovaries in XI. Spermathecae simple, roughly cylindrical; without ampulla or diverticula, connected to the gut entally. Atria petiolate, with thin duct, and club-shaped ampulla covered with multicellular prostate glands. Very short, retractable penes. Semiprosoporous; each atrium with two thin vasa deferentia; both anterior and posterior male funnels functional; posterior vasa deferentia do not form a loop in the postatrial segment or penetrate septum 10/11.
Etymology. From Latin para, “beside”, indicating its possible close relationship to Rhynchelmis.
Remarks. The single known Pararhynchelmis species, described herein, has male pores in X and spermathecal pores paired in both VIII and IX, distinguishing it from all other lumbriculids except for two Palearctic Rhynchelmis species (Rhynchelmis tetratheca Michaelsen and Rhynchelmis granuensis Hrabĕ). Four described genera (Rhynchelmis, Pseudorhynchelmis Hrabĕ, Secubelmis Fend & Gustafson 2001, and Tatriella Hrabĕ), plus two undescribed southeastern Nearctic species (S. Fend & D. Lenat, unpublished) have the first spermathecae located two segments anterior to the atria. Of these, only Rhynchelmis includes species in which the spermathecae connect to the gut (Martin & Kaygorodova 2008). Almost all described Rhynchelmis species have a long, filiform proboscis. The few species or subspecies without a proboscis (Rhynchelmis brachycephala brachycephala Michaelsen, Rhynchelmis komareki brevirostra Hrabĕ, and an undescribed Nearctic species [S. Fend, unpublished]) closely resemble proboscis-bearing species: they are all large worms, usually found in profundal lake habitats. The petiolate atria of Pararhynchelmis do not resemble those of any described Rhynchelmis species, and the very short, duct-like spermathecae are unique within the family. Other distinguishing characters are evaluated below, in the Discussion.
Pararhynchelmis has a narrower geographic range than any of the Rhynchelmis subgenera or species groups. The single known species has been collected only within a single spring system in the southern Appalachian Mountains, USA.

description: Civilian and military nuclear programs of several nations over more than 70 years have led to significant quantities of heterogenous solid, organic, and aqueous radioactive wastes bearing actinides, fission products, and activation products. While many physicochemical treatments have been developed to remediate, decontaminate and reduce waste volumes, they can involve high costs (energy input, expensive sorbants, ion exchange resins, chemical reducing/precipitation agents) or can lead to further secondary waste forms. Microorganisms can directly influence radionuclide solubility, via sorption, accumulation, precipitation, redox, and volatilization pathways, thus offering a more sustainable approach to remediation or effluent treatments. Much work to date has focused on fundamentals or laboratory-scale remediation trials, but there is a paucity of information toward field-scale bioremediation and, to a lesser extent, toward biological liquid effluent treatments. From the few biostimulation studies that have been conducted at legacy weapon production/test sites and uranium mining and milling sites, some marked success via bioreduction and biomineralisation has been observed. However, rebounding of radionuclide mobility from (a)biotic scale-up factors are often encountered. Radionuclide, heavy metal, co-contaminant, and/or matrix effects provide more challenging conditions than traditional industrial wastewater systems, thus innovative solutions via indirect interactions with stable element biogeochemical cycles, natural or engineered cultures or communities of metal and irradiation tolerant strains and reactor design inspirations from existing metal wastewater technologies, are required. This review encompasses the current state of the art in radionuclide biogeochemistry fundamentals and bioremediation and establishes links toward transitioning these concepts toward future radioactive effluent treatments.

description: Prediction of boundary-layer transition is a critical element of hypersonic vehicle designdue to the impact transition has on boundary-layer separation, heat transfer, and aerodynamiccontrol. Transition is affected by many factors including surface roughness. Theroughness on a hypersonic vehicle can cause a boundary-layer to become turbulent. However,there is a limited understanding of the impacts that roughness can have, and the conditionsunder which it is important. The rocket-sled track at Holloman Air Force Base was selected as a ground-test facilityfor transition measurements. The present work is about understanding the mechanism oftransition on blunt ogives or blunt cones with moderate nose radii, as it appears that nosetiproughness affects boundary-layer transition on the afterbody for moderate nose radii. Asingle test-track shot is to be executed for a blunt ogive to determine if the test track canmake useful measurements of boundary-layer transition. Initially, the present research used a boundary-layer solver to estimate target roughnessesthat would be applied to the nose tip. Preliminary analysis was conducted on test cases forsharp cones and blunt cones. However, due to time constraints, the target roughnesses werethen estimated with a higher fidelity code by Brad Wheaton of JHU APL. Two separateroughness targets were established for the upper and lower sides of the hemispherical nosetip. The focus of this work then shifted to measurements of the roughness that was appliedby others to the hemisphere nose tip for a blunt ogive. Utilizing the Zygo ZeGage 3D opticalprofiler, roughness scans were collected both directly under the profiler head and indirectlyusing rubber molds. Profilometer measurements were also recorded. Twelve iterations werecompleted to allow the polisher to develop appropriate procedures for applying the roughness,given the material and curvature. The first five iterations involved roughness applied tocylindrical-shaped test areas. After achieving the target roughnesses on these test areas,the hemispherical ends of test specimens were then polished and measured until both therough and smooth halves met the roughness target. During this time, the three roughness measurementtechniques were refined until good agreement was reached between them. When the roughness-application and roughness-measurement techniques were sufficiently mature,the actual blunt-ogive nose tip was then polished until the roughness target was achieved.

description: Nearly all plants and their organs are inhabited by endophytic microbes which play a crucial role in plant fitness and stress resilience. Harnessing endophytic services can provide effective solutions for a sustainable increase in agriculture productivity and can be used as a complement or alternative to agrochemicals. Shifting agriculture practices toward the use of nature-based solutions can contribute directly to the global challenges of food security and environmental sustainability. However, microbial inoculants have been used in agriculture for several decades with inconsistent efficacy. Key reasons of this inconsistent efficacy are linked to competition with indigenous soil microflora and inability to colonize plants. Endophytic microbes provide solutions to both of these issues which potentially make them better candidates for microbial inoculants. This article outlines the current advancements in endophytic research with special focus on endophytic bacilli. A better understanding of diverse mechanisms of disease control by bacilli is essential to achieve maximum biocontrol efficacy against multiple phytopathogens. Furthermore, we argue that integration of emerging technologies with strong theoretical frameworks have the potential to revolutionize biocontrol approaches based on endophytic microbes.

Subjects: military trainees military training perceived stress physical fitness

description: This study investigated whether physical fitness affects the perception of chronic stress in military trainees while controlling for established factors influencing stress perception. The sample consisted of 273 men (20.23 ± 1.12 years, 73.56 ± 10.52 kg, 1.78 ± 0.06 m). Physical fitness was measured by progressive endurance run (maximum oxygen uptake; VO2 max), standing long jump, seated shot put, trunk muscle strength, and one leg standing test. Perceived stress was measured using the Perceived Stress Questionnaire in Weeks 1 and 11 of basic military training (BMT). VO2 max and four influencing variables (perceived stress in Week 1, neuroticism, transformational leadership style, and education level) explained 44.44% of the variance of the increase in perceived stress during 10 weeks of BMT (R2 = 0.444, F = 23.334, p < .001). The explained variance of VO2 max was 4.14% (R2 = 0.041), with a Cohen's f2 effect size of 0.045 (assigned as a small effect by Cohen, 1988). The results indicate a moderating influence of good aerobic fitness on the varied level of perceived stress. We conclude that it is advisable to provide conscripts with a specific endurance training program prior to BMT for stress prevention reasons.

description: Aims: This study seeks to explore barriers faced by and resources available to male patients with urinary (UI) and/or fecal incontinence (FI) based on the ICF framework. As a result, this study contributes to the development of the ICFIncontinence Assessment Form (ICF‐IAF), which is designed to be a standardized planning and evaluation tool for interventions in a multidisciplinary setting. Methods: A mixed‐method sequential design that places emphasis on the quantitative approach was considered appropriate for this study. Focus group interviews (FG) were chosen to collect data. Data were analysed with deductive content analysis and themes identified during FG were linked to the most corresponding ICF categories by two raters. Cohen's κ was calculated to determine interrater reliability. Results: Four FG were conducted with a total of 13 male participants. The mean age of the participants was 74.7 years. A total of 73 barriers and resources on the second ICF level (body functions 26, body structures five, activities and participation 26 and environmental factors 16), whereby four categories were not sufficiently covered by the ICF, could be identified. The κ score for the two raters was 0.82. Conclusions: While barriers are fundamental factors affecting patients, this study found that resources are as important and should not be overlooked in the conventional treatment in both UI and FI‐specific assessments.

human -like trust

description: Smart home technologies (SHTs) perform tasks in the most intimate areas of life and therefore require blind user trust from the start. To build this trust, vendors often rely on creating human-like interactions with devices, such as by incorporating humor. Although humor in SHTs is becoming more advanced, e.g., through advanced joke selection algorithms, its actual impact is largely unexplored. In this work, we address this gap and study the impact of affiliative humor as a human-like characteristic on perceived social presence and initial trust in SHTs. To this end, we conducted a vignette-based experiment with potential users (N=63). Our results contribute by uncovering the mechanisms underlying humor as a trust-building characteristic in SHTs. Moreover, in this way, we also provide important insights for the design and communication of SHTs, which can be valuable for vendors to foster perceived human-likeness and thus initial user trust in smart technologies.

description: äufig sind massive Außenwände historischer Gebäude verputzt. Dieser Putz muss, mitsamt den Farbanstrichen, den Wetterschutz der Außenwand sicherstellen. Dieser Wetterschutz kann vereinfachend durch zwei hygrische Parameter des Putzsystems, den Wasseraufnahmekoeffizienten, der die Wasseraufnahme z. B. bei Schlagregenereignissen bestimmt und den Diffusionswiderstand, der die Verdunstung des aufgenommenen Wassers regelt, dargestellt werden [1], [2]. Daher kommt der genauen Kenntnis des Wasseraufnahmekoeffizienten der Außenputzsysteme historischer Fassaden eine besondere Bedeutung zu, um einerseits den Wetterschutz historischer Außenwände richtig einzuschätzen und andererseits die Robustheit von Sanierungslösungen korrekt zu prognostizieren. Für die zerstörungsfreie Feststellung des Wasseraufnahmekoeffizienten des Außenputzsystems, des sogenannten Ww‐Werts, stehen mit dem Karstenschen Röhrchen, der Frankeschen Prüfplatte und dem Wasseraufnahmemessgerät drei In‐situ‐Messverfahren zur Verfügung. Allerdings bestehen Unsicherheiten bezüglich der Genauigkeit dieser Messmethoden und der Vergleichbarkeit der Messergebnisse untereinander und mit Labormesswerten. Daher werden an fünf verschiedenen Fassaden die Wasseraufnahmekoeffizienten der Putzsysteme gleichzeitig mit den drei In‐situ‐Messverfahren und im Labor bestimmt. Die Messergebnisse werden verglichen, um Umrechnungsfunktionen zwischen den verschiedenen In‐situ‐Messverfahren und den Labormessungen abzuleiten.
Opinions and Attitudes of a Sample of Swiss Physicians about Physical Activity Promotion in a Primary Care Setting

Subjects: Primary care Health promotion Physical activity Counseling

description: Little is known about the opinions, beliefs and behavior of Swiss physicians regarding physical activity (PA) promotion in a primary care setting. A qualitative study was performed with semistructured interviews. We purposively recruited and interviewed 16 physicians in the French speaking part of Switzerland. Their statements and ideas regarding the promotion of PA in a primary care setting were transcribed and synthesized from the tape recorded interviews. The main findings are presented in the following by thematic categories: – Screening for sedentary lifestyle and counseling practices. History regarding PA was consequently taken with new cases, but not in a systematic manner. Counseling was more likely to be delivered if other cardiovascular risk factors were present. – Counseling techniques and how to learn them. Practical education on motivational interviewing techniques and on the use of topic-specific tools was advocated. According to some interviewees, more emphasis should be put on well-being as a motivational tool, rather than on disease prevention. – Barriers to counseling. Lack of time, lack of reimbursement, lack of clear guidelines. – Interventions advocated by general practitioners for PA promotion in a primary care setting. Screening for sedentary lifestyle, booklets accompanying physician counseling, patient orientation to structured PA programs or to specially trained counselors. – Effectiveness of counseling. Most physicians described themselves as rather pessimistic in their perception of counseling effectiveness. We conclude that in order to find wider acceptance in primary care settings, the conception of PA promotion should take into account physicians’ barriers, and involve them in the development of a training curriculum.

description: In the present study, the influence of mountain hay diets with elevated proportions of herbs and phenolic contents on nitrogen utilization and milk fatty acid profile of dairy cows was investigated. Two grass hay-based diets, either low or high in nitrogen (N) content (GN−, GN+) and similar in fiber content and lignification, and two diets consisting of hays with high proportion of herbs (H) with either low or high phenolic (P) content (HP−, HP+) were fed isoenergetically and without concentrate. All diets contained a Lolium perenne dominated basal hay and experimental hay in proportions of 0.45:0.55, except for diet GN+ (0.80:0.20) with excessive N. Feed intake, milk yield and total amount of feces and urine were recorded and sampled from 24 multiparous mid-lactation cows (eight Brown Swiss, 16 Holstein) producing on average 33 kg/ day of energy-corrected milk. The experiment was performed in three runs with two cows per diet. Data was analyzed by a general linear model considering diet and run as effects. Intake was highest in GN+ and HP+ and lower with GN− and HP−. No condensed tannins (CT) were detected in GN− and GN+. Intake of phenolic compounds (g/day per cow) was high in HP+ (402) lower with HP− (302) and lowest with GN− and GN+ (ca. 190). The intake of CT was higher in HP+ (115 g/day) compared to HP− (31 g/day). Yield of milk and energy-corrected milk as well as gross milk constituents were not affected by diet. Apparent total tract nutrient digestibility was higher for the grass-based diets (GN−, GN+) than for the diets with high herbal proportion (HP−, HP+). With GN+, absolute urinary N losses and those in proportion of total excreta N were higher than in the other diets and was lowest with HP+. Utilization of N was lower with GN+ and HP+ compared to HP−. The milk fat of cows fed HP+ had higher proportions of polyunsaturated fatty acids compared to that of GN−. The transfer rate of C18:3 n-3 from feed to milk was highest for the two herbal hay diets. The secretion of C18:1 t11 in relation to the amount of C18:2 n-6 + C18:3 n-3 ingested was highest for diet HP−. In conclusion, mountain hay rich in herbs was found to be a dietary means to lower the N emission potential of the manure by lower urinary N excretion demonstrating that inclusion of herbs into grasslands may be beneficial.

Reject! Why innovative managers might choose not to foster affordable innovation – evidence from three countries
Creators: name: Hietschold, Nadine

Subjects: Affordable innovation Affordable innovation rejection attitude Premium innovation

description: Affordable innovations refer to new products and services that address customers with a low willingness or ability to pay. Although they can provide considerable economic and societal benefits, managers often prefer premium over affordable innovation. To understand the factors that drive managers to support (or reject) affordable innovations, we conduct a cross-country study and test a structural equation model with 319 participants from Germany, USA, and South Africa. The results show that individuals’ innovativeness plays a pivotal, yet contradictory role for managers’ attitudes towards affordable innovation. While general innovativeness leads to favorable attitudes, technological innovativeness drives the rejection of affordable innovation. Individuals’ perceptions of firm-level and product-level factors as well as cross-country differences are relevant, too. Individuals’ affordable innovation rejection attitude, in turn, leads to less investment into affordable innovation projects. With this research, we contribute to innovation management literature by explaining the conditions under which managers reject affordable innovation.
