Enhancement of Somatic Embryogenesis by Mature and Immature Seeds in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A suitable plant regeneration system has been established using 3-4 weeks old calli derived from immature and mature seeds of four wheat varieties viz. Pavon 76, Akbar, Barkat, and Kanchan. As plant growth regulators, various auxins (2,4-D, BAP and IAA) either single or in combination were used in MS medium. The variety Pavon 76 showed maximum (72.25%) callus induction and Akbar exhibited the lowest (37.78%) from calli derived from immature seeds. Hormonal effects on callus induction were evaluated and significant results were found in case of genotypes at P <0.01. Out of four genotypes, the highest frequency of plant regeneration was recorded in Pavon 76 (67.00%) and lowest in Kanchan (43.10%) when 1.5 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l IAA was added in the medium. It was observed that Pavon 76 produced highest number of green plants than others. For mature seeds all of the mentioned genotypes showed significant difference with maximum frequency of callusing in Pavon 76 (69.57%) in MS + 2.5 mg/l 2,4-D followed by Kanchan (60.84%), Barkat (52.73%), and Akbar (47.19%). For plant regeneration, Pavon 76 also showed best performance (64.36%) in MS + 2.0 BAP + 1.0 mg/l IAA, using calli derived from mature seeds. The other genotypes Barkat, Kanchan and Akbar exhibited 59.44, 52.71 and 52.32% regeneration in the same medium respectively. Here, the lowest regeneration (40.63%) was found in Akbar. In this case, it was aimed to establish a suitable protocol for in vitro callus induction and regeneration for advance biotechnological research on wheat in Bangladesh.
How does brand innovativeness affect brand loyalty?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose – This paper aims to examine how consumers’ perceptions of innovativeness affect an important brand performance metric: consumer brand loyalty. Specifically, the mediating role of perceived quality in this relationship is explained using signaling theory. Design/methodology/approach – The conceptual model was tested in two empirical studies for three global consumer electronics brands in two product categories. Data were collected using a mall-intercept approach from consumers at a major shopping precinct in a metropolitan city. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings – The results provide compelling evidence for the proposed mediation relationship. Study 1 shows that perceived quality fully transmits the impact of brand innovativeness on to brand loyalty. Study 2 confirms this mediation relationship. Practical implications – The results can help product managers in their brand management and promotion of new products. Originality/value – Emerging research on consumer-level effects of innovativeness provides conflicting advice regarding how consumers’ perceptions of brand innovativeness affect intangible assets such as loyalty toward the brand. The present research reconciles contradictory findings in the literature by uncovering a different route through which consumer perceptions of brand innovativeness affect a key brand performance metric: brand loyalty. Specifically, the present study fills an important knowledge gap in the innovativeness literature and deepens our understanding of the relationship between brand innovativeness and brand loyalty by empirically examining and confirming the role of a hereto overlooked intervening variable, perceived quality.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: THE INCIDENCE OF NEONATAL CRYPTORCHIDISM IN SFAX, TUNISIA

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Cryptorchidism is a common finding in boys, and the majority of cases have no discernible etiology. As the region of Sfax is considered a polluted area in Tunisia (1), we decided to conduct a prospective study to assess the incidence of cryptorchidism in this area (Sfax-Tunisia). From June to December 2013, at the Maternity Department of the Hedi Chaker teaching Hospital of Sfax (Tunisia), all full term born boys ≥37 weeks of amenorrhea were examined by pediatric surgeon. Excluding criteria was prematurity. Information on child (birth weight, term) and parents (life style, geography origin, maternal exposure to pesticide) was recorded using medical chart. A follow up was done at 3-6 and 12 months by the same pediatric surgeon. A total of 24 of 1780 boys were born with cryptorchidism so the neonatal incidence was 1.3%. Although the study period was too short, we observed a seasonal variation in the incidence of cryptorchidism. There was a peak in September–October (Fig. 1) as has been reported by Berkowitz (2). Fifty percent of the mothers of cryptorchid children live in a rural setting. The maternal exposure to pesticides during pregnancy was observed in 20% of cases.

Furoyl phosphonates

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A series of furoyl phosphonates bearing methyl, methoxymethyl, and diethoxyphosphorylmethyl groups in the furan ring have been synthesized via the Arbuzov reaction from the corresponding acid chlorides. NMR spectral parameters of the prepared compounds were studied. The values of coupling constants between the phosphorus nuclei and the carbon nuclei of the furan ring have been examined with relation to the location of the acylphosphoryl group in the furan ring, the nature of second substituent, and location of the latter with respect to the phosphorus-containing substituent in the furan ring. The substitution in position 4 of the furan ring of 3-furoyl phosphonates has been shown to strongly decrease the value of the coupling constant between the phosphorus nucleus and the C2 atom of the heterocycle. The interaction between the phosphorus nuclei has not been detected in the spectra of the compounds containing both diethoxyphosphorylmethyl and acylphosphonate fragments.
On the Uniqueness of the Solution of the Inverse Sturm–Liouville Problem with Nonseparated Boundary Conditions on a Geometric Graph

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

For the first time, the inverse Sturm–Liouville problem with nonseparated boundary conditions is studied on a star-shaped geometric graph with three edges. It is shown that the Sturm–Liouville problem with general boundary conditions cannot be uniquely reconstructed from four spectra. Nonseparated boundary conditions are found for which a uniqueness theorem for the solution of the inverse Sturm–Liouville problem is proved. The spectrum of the boundary value problem itself and the spectra of three auxiliary problems are used as reconstruction data. It is also shown that the Sturm–Liouville problem with these nonseparated boundary conditions can be uniquely recovered if three spectra of auxiliary problems are used as reconstruction data and only five of its eigenvalues are used instead of the entire spectrum of the problem.
Single Versus Multiple Session Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Spinal Metastasis: The Risk–Benefit Ratio

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Spine stereotactic body radiation therapy represents an important advancement in the management of spinal metastases that allows precise delivery of ablative doses of radiation therapy with excellent local control. Although the technique is being increasingly used in clinical practice, the optimal fractionation schedule remains uncertain. In this perspective paper, we review radiobiologic principles that support the use of multiple- versus single-fraction spine stereotactic body radiation therapy schedules and clinical data supporting the multiple-fraction approach. Specifically, we suggest that there may be a local control benefit of fractionation, while helping to limit the risk of toxicities such as vertebral body fracture, pain flare and radiation myelopathy. We conclude with future directions and the need for future study on this important topic.

The New Testament and Creation Care

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Generations of readers have assumed that the New Testament materials are concerned primarily with human salvation, usually understood as escape from earth to heaven, accompanied in some scenarios by the destruction of the earth. This version of the “end” of the biblical story provides no foundation for a meaningful Christian response to the widespread environmental crises we face today. Awareness of the anthropocentric cast of Christian worldviews and growing recognition of the severity of the crises has demanded new approaches to the New Testament. The scholarly discussion of the New Testament and the care of creation is a relatively new area of research, still in its adolescence, but three decades of concerted research is now affirming that the New Testament is far more deeply grounded in the soil of the biblical story of creation than we once imagined. Discussion of the Bible and the environment has thus far been led by the work of two collaboratives, the Earth Bible Project under the leadership of Norman C. Habel in Australia, and the interdisciplinary research group funded by an Arts and Humanities Research Council of the UK grant at the University of Exeter (“the Exeter Group”), led by David G. Horrell. The Earth Bible project has been the more prolific and often the more daring in drawing upon approaches from feminist and postcolonial criticism. At the same time, a growing number of scholars are making attempts to reconstruct the outlines of a biblical narrative, running from Genesis to Revelation, that links the end or resolution of the story (eschatology) more clearly with its beginning (protology). A meaningful resolution of the biblical story must address such issues as the meaning and proper exercise of “dominion,” as well as divine and human roles in the reconciliation of earth and heaven. After surveying overviews and reviews of the literature on hermeneutical issues and eschatology, entries will follow the canonical order of the New Testament documents, then touch on recent studies of food and water and the relations between humans and animals.
AltHapAlignR: improved accuracy of RNA-seq analyses through the use of alternative haplotypes

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Motivation Reliance on mapping to a single reference haplotype currently limits accurate estimation of allele or haplotype-specific expression using RNA-sequencing, notably in highly polymorphic regions such as the major histocompatibility complex. Results We present AltHapAlignR, a method incorporating alternate reference haplotypes to generate gene- and haplotype-level estimates of transcript abundance for any genomic region where such information is available. We validate using simulated and experimental data to quantify input allelic ratios for major histocompatibility complex haplotypes, demonstrating significantly improved correlation with ground truth estimates of gene counts compared to standard single reference mapping. We apply AltHapAlignR to RNA-seq data from 462 individuals, showing how significant underestimation of expression of the majority of classical human leukocyte antigen genes using conventional mapping can be corrected using AltHapAlignR to allow more accurate quantification of gene expression for individual alleles and haplotypes.

Trolling Journalists and the Risks of Digital Publicity

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The global phenomenon of trolling of journalists lays out the ambivalent consequences of news interactivity and the risks of digital publicity. The push for digital publicity made journalists more exposed to attacks amid rising digital hate and the populist demonization of the news media. The negative impact of trolling reveals important blind spots of aspirational visions about the consequences of audience interactivity for journalism. The troubling consequences of trolling raise important questions for journalism studies. How to rethink the notion of the public in journalism when newsrooms experience "participation fatigue", disappointment, and frustration with audience engagement? What if members of the public refuse to play by the rules of civility and tolerance? What if interactive platforms are vehicles for hate rather than reason, facticity, listening, or critical thinking? Addressing these questions is necessary to produce nuanced arguments about journalism, the public and publicity.
Resilient traits of children raised by a parent with borderline personality disorder

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Much of the literature on BPD and children of parents with BPD focuses on the psychopathological tendencies of this population, specifically the high risk these children have of going on to have BPD as well. The purpose of this study is to better understand how children with BPD adapt and are resilient in ways that exclude them from developing BPD. Three memoirs written by daughters of mothers with BPD were selected based on APA criteria met by each mother for BPD and the daughter's ability to articulate and reflect on her experience with her mother from childhood to adulthood. These memoirs included Wishing for Snow (Gwin 2004), Her Last Death (Sonnenberg, 2008), and Searching for Mercy Street (Sexton, 1994). All daughters were biologically related to their mother, and did not meet the criteria for BPD at any point in their lives. The major findings described ways in which the passing down of BPD was impeded by the development of resilient traits. These traits included: first, the importance of writing one coherent narrative. Gaining control over her life story by processing and accessing emotions not otherwise named, daughters were able to find and put together all the pieces of her experience with her mother. Second, each daughter accepted the similarities she shared with her mother, but also clearly defined her differences allowing for the development of the daughter's separate sense of self. Third, each daughter connected with another person who provided a sense of stability allowing for the development of a secure sense of self. Finally, each daughter was empowered by the non-traditional female role her mother played in their family, which influenced the daughter to pursue non-traditional female roles in her adult life.
ICT TOOLS FOR PROMOTING SELF-PACED LEARNING AMONG SANDWICH STUDENTS IN A NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

<p>Sandwich programmes are an innovation in teacher education geared towards the production of high-quality manpower. They are organized during school vacations so that teachers working full-time would also have the opportunity to advance academically and improve professionally. However, the intensive nature of the programme jeopardizes the actualization of its objectives. Sandwich students, as adult learners, are self-directed and self-paced learners. Self-paced learning is any kind of instruction that progresses according to the speed of the learner. It is a “teach-yourself” method that does not require on-the-spot feedback from instructors. Sandwich students, therefore, need ICT tools to encourage their self-paced learning. This study involved twenty-seven final year Guidance and Counselling sandwich degree students at Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education Owerri, who brainstormed in a round table setting and concluded that ICT tools such as audio tapes, smart phones, e-mail, video tape, internet, and other web-based learning should be applied to promote self-paced learning among sandwich students in Nigerian Universities. Based on the findings, recommendations were made and conclusions drawn.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0666/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
Productivity spillovers from foreign direct investment in Poland

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Using firm level data from the Polish manufacturing sector, we examine the effect of foreign direct investment on the scope of productivity growth of locally-owned firms. The results suggest that a higher foreign presence within an industry affects local firms negatively. However, the effects differ between groups of firms and gorups of industries. FDI has a negative impact on the performance of the most productive local firms in high competition industries. By contrast, the effect on the least productive state firms in low competition industries is positive. For the domestic industry as a whole (local and foreign firms together), a higher foreign presence has a positive impact on performance as foreign firms are on average more productive than local ones.
Characteristics of adults with potential refractory chronic cough identified using an algorithm designed for administrative claims databases: A descriptive study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective As population-based studies describing the characteristics of patients with refractory chronic cough (RCC) are sparse, the objective of this descriptive study was to identify and describe such patients using an algorithm developed for administrative claims databases and requiring validation in future. Methods We identified adults with chronic cough (N = 782,121) from Optum Clinformatics™ Data Mart as individuals with a ‘cough event’ (primary cough event; based on ICD codes/relevant prescriptions) and ≥2 cough events in the 56–180 preceding days. We applied several exclusion criteria to identify potential RCC cases and stratified them into probable, possible, and unlikely RCC cohorts by the number of cough events during 1-year follow up (≥3, 1–2 or 0 events, respectively). Patient characteristics were described during the year before the primary cough event and follow up. Results 16.8% (n = 131,772) of patients with chronic cough were potential RCC cases: 25.8% probable, 35.9% possible and 38.3% unlikely. The majority were female (66.4–70.5%); median age was 53–60 years. The most common comorbidities and cough-associated complications at baseline were: allergic rhinitis (30.7–39.1%), hypertension (37.3–47.7%), gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (23.7–34.3%), asthma (18.1–27.3%), insomnia (6.3–8.3%) and stress incontinence (2.5–3.9%). Among probable RCC cases, use of several medications was higher during follow up versus baseline: 52.7% versus 49.0% (cough treatments), 73.3% versus 69.0% (respiratory drugs), 40.5% versus 34.2% (gastrointestinal drugs) and 58.8% versus 56.1% (psychotherapeutics). Conclusion Our algorithm requires validation but provides a starting point to identify patients with RCC in claims databases in future studies.
