Predictors of suicidal ideation and suicide attempt among immigrants in Europe are family conflict, health problems, substance abuse, low educational level and being adopted by a host inhabitant family, financial disadvantages. Female immigrants and second-generation immigrants appeared to be at higher risk than male immigrants with regard to suicidal ideation and suicide attempt.
[Morphological alteration and desintegration of dane particles after exposure with "Gigasept". A first methological attempt for the evaluation of the virucidal efficacy of a chemical disinfectant against hepatitisvirus B ( author's transl)].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A test system based on morphological alterations and desintegration of hepatitis virus B (HBV) is presented for the approximative evaluation of the virucidal efficacy of a chemical disinfectant. Dane particles, supposed to be the infectious entity of HBV, were partially purified by a trap and a rate zonal ultracentrifugation from serum samples of a patient with chronic hepatitis undergoing an immune suppressive treatment because of leukemia. "Gigasept" on the basis of succine dialdehyd and formaldehyd served as disinfectant for this investigation. In one experiment partially purified Dane particles were exposed to the action of a 5% solution of "Gigasept" on electron microscopic grids. Morphological alterations resulting in derounding, break up of the outer membrane, spiral uncoiling as well as asymmetric enlargement of the space between the outer membrane and the core of the HBV was observed after 2 mins. After 15 mins, the HBV were diffusely stained with loss of the characteristic substructure and became polygonal. The decrease of the number of the particles was proportional to the length of the contact time with the disinfectant. In a second series equal volumes of a 5% solution of "Gigasept" and of a HBV containing serum were in contact for 2 hours, with consecutive purification and morphological characterization of the HBV. The sedimentation of the HBs antigenicity differed from the control. A part of the Dane particles was diffusely stained and lost its substructure. Moreover empty particles in the range of the HBc antigen were found. Another part of Dane particles, however, was morphologically unchanged. The relation of intact and non intact particles could possibly serve as parameter for the HBV virucidy.-Thermo inactivation (3 mins, +98 degrees C) of the HBV in a serum was undertaken for comparison.

Hennekam Syndrome Presentıng Wıth Abdomınal Mass

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We report a patient presenting with an abdominal distention and irritiability, who was found to have Hennekam syndrome. A physical examination revealed left sided hemihypertrophy and a mass with undefined margins around the umblical region. Ultrasonography and contrast enhanced computerised tomography revealed a solid heterogeneous mass extending from the parapancreatic region into the mesenteric root and, diagnostic laparotomy was performed. The intestinal walls and the mesentery were found to be diffusely thickened. Histopathological analysis revealed fibrosis along with cystic enlargement of the lymphatic vessels. The patient had left periorbital edema and facial dysmorphism. Non-pitting edema of the abdomen, left arm, left leg, and left labia majora was noted. Laboratory tests showed hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, and high faecal α-1 anti trypsin. Endoscopic examination revealed milky fluid oozing from the mucosa into the duodenal lumen. Histopathological analysis revealed total villus atrophy and cryptic hyperplasia. We postulate that an enlargement in the intestinal wall could be mistaken for an abdominal mass, and, we present this case of an abdominal mass as a new manifestation of Hennekam syndrome.

2310 Improving Die Exchange Process in Textile Manufacturing Company with SMED

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This study presents collaboration between a textile manufacturing company in Malaysia and Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. In this Company-University Collaboration (CUC), Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) was introduced in the company to improve the time-consuming changeover process of its stamping machine. The framework of this study involves data collection stage, analysing stage and evaluation stage which are steps required to be fulfilled in SMED implementation. Previously, the changeover time of the stamping machine in average is 5.19 hours. After the implementation of SMED, the changeover time of the stamping machine was reduced to 3.83 hours in average or 23.59% reduction from previous changeover time. The improvements made are 5S, using jig in mould alignment and creating a new system in assisting pressure settings. In conclusion, the collaboration is shown to be feasible in supporting SMED implementation in the textile manufacturing company.
Barrett’s Esophagus in Eosinophilic Esophagitis in Swiss Eosinophilic Esophagitis Cohort Study (SEECS)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: There is a complex interrelationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) potentially promoting the occurrence and modulating severity of each other reciprocally. Presence of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is a defining factor for the diagnosis of GERD. While several studies investigated the potential impact of concomitant GERD on the presentation and course of EoE, little was known with regards to BE in EoE patients. Methods: We analyzed prospectively collected clinical, endoscopic, and histological data from patients enrolled in the Swiss Eosinophilic Esophagitis Cohort Study (SEECS) regarding differences between EoE patients with (EoE/BE+) versus without BE (EoE/BE−) and determined the prevalence of BE in EoE patients. Results: Among a total of 509 EoE patients included in our analysis, 24 (4.7%) had concomitant BE with a high male preponderance (EoE/BE+ 83.3% vs. EoE/BE− 74.4%). While there were no differences in dysphagia, odynophagia was significantly (12.5 vs. 3.1%, p = 0.047) more common in EoE/BE+ versus EoE/BE−. General well-being at last follow-up was significantly lower in EoE/BE+. Endoscopically, we observed an increased incidence of fixed rings in the proximal esophagus in EoE/BE+ (70.8 vs. 46.3% in EoE/BE−, p = 0.019) and a higher fraction of patients with a severe fibrosis in the proximal histological specimen (8.7 vs. 1.6% in EoE/BE, p = 0.017). Conclusion: Our study reveals that BE is twice as frequent in EoE patients compared to general population. Despite many similarities between EoE patients with and without BE, the finding of a more pronounced remodeling in EoE patients with Barrett is noteworthy.

Postpartum glycemia and pregnancy outcomes among women in Arusha Region, Tanzania

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus is a medical condition that disappears after delivery if early diagnosis and management are done. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of hyperglycemia six weeks postpartum and pregnancy outcomes among women in Arusha City. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted between March and December 2018 as part of a large study which involved 468 randomly selected pregnant women and excluded those who were diagnosed with diabetes before pregnancy. Women were screened for hyperglycemia six weeks postpartum where fasting and oral glucose tolerant tests were done by Gluco-Plus™ using World Health Organization criteria. Body fat percentage, mid-upper arm circumference, height and weight were measured using standard procedures. Postpartum information was collected using a structured questionnaire and data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science version 20 to obtain descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Among 468 women who participated in the study at baseline, 392 (83.7%) returned for postpartum assessments. Postpartum hyperglycemia among women was 2.1% (n=8) and majority had normal delivery (92.6%, n=363) while 7.4% (n=29) delivered through caesarean section. About 8.2% (n=32) of the newborn were macrosomia and 4.1% (n=16) low birth weight. Miscarriages or abortions were not identified while stillbirth was observed in 0.5% (n=2) and neonatal death (1.3%, n=5). Postpartum hyperglycemia was significantly associated with body fat percentage (AOR 1.59, 95% CI: 1.14-1.91), mid-upper arm circumference (AOR 1.62, 95% CI: 1.023-1.99), macrosomia (AOR 2.43, 95% CI: 2.2-10.31) and family history of type 2 diabetes (AOR 6.4, 95% CI: 1.93-13.3). Conclusion: Prevalence of postpartum hyperglycemia was generally low however; it was significantly associated with macrosomia, increased body fat percentage, mid-upper circumference and family history of type 2 diabetes. Also, a low prevalence of poor pregnancy outcomes was reported which may be attributed to actions taken after being referred for further treatments and management which need further exploration.
The Role of the work environment in the psychological well-being and distress of stressed female clerical workers

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to examine the way the work environment contributes to clerical workers' psychological well-being and distress. Given recent changes to clerical workers' occupational context (e.g., increased workload, job insecurity), specific dimensions of the work environment were expected to predict both job satisfaction and depression. Data were collected longitudinally on three occasions (1 month apart) from two samples (N=223; N=2Q1, respectively) of stressed female clerical workers. Phase 1 established the factorial structure of the shortened version of the Work Environment Scale (Billings & Moos, 1982). The hypothesized two-factor structure (social resources, work demands) was not supported by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Further Exploratory Factor Analysis and CFA revealed a three-factor structure: Organizational Support (job involvement, peer cohesion, supervisor support, autonomy, and work clarity), Work Pressure, and Managerial Control. The results partially supported Moos's (1981) three-dimensional work environment model. Based on the results of Phase 1, in Phase 2,1 examined the extent to which Organizational Support, Work Pressure, and Managerial Control predicted job satisfaction and depression, statistically controlling for demographic variables and negative affectivity (only in Sample 2). Hierarchical multiple regression supported the hypotheses that Organizational Support predicted greater job satisfaction in both samples and less depression for Sample 1 only. Unexpectedly, Work Pressure and Managerial Control were not linearly related to job satisfaction or depression. Path analysis revealed that job satisfaction mediated the Organizational Support-depression relationship, but only for Sample 1, partially supporting the hypothesis. Exploratory analyses revealed that the moderating effects of Organizational Support on the work demands-job satisfaction or depression relationships were not statistically significant. However, union membership was associated with greater job dissatisfaction. Of note, components of the Organizational Support subscale reflect characteristics of the work environment that enhance clerical workers feelings of being valued and respected for their contributions to the workplace. Thus, creating opportunities for organizational support may be important to administrators who wish to design a psychologically healthy work environment for clerical workers. Finally, the role of job satisfaction in mediating the relationship between organizational support and depression is an important finding, and warrants further study.
A Novel PTCH1 Frameshift Mutation Leading to First Case of Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome with Bilateral Pneumothorax

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant inherited syndrome, also known as “basal cell nevus syndrome’’. This rare disorder is caused by mutation in the patched tumor suppressor gene PTCH and located in chromosome 9q22.3q31, which functions as a component of the Hedgehog signaling pathway. It is characterized by multiple basal cell carcinomas, jaw keratocysts, falx cerebri calcification and skeletal anomalies. The syndrome was first described by Gorlin and Goltz in 1960, and has a wide clinical spectrum including ophthalmological, neurological, endocrine and genital pathologies, internal malignancies and mental retardation.

Near-infrared photometry of Galactic planetary nebulae with the VVV Survey

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Planetary nebulae (PNe) are powerful tracers of evolved stellar populations. Among the 3000 known PNe in the Galaxy, about 600 are located within the 520 square-degree area covered by the VVV survey. The VVV photometric catalogue provides an important new dataset for the study of PNe, with high-resolution imaging in five near-infrared bands. Aperture photometry of known PNe in the VVV area was retrieved from source catalogues. Care was taken to minimise any confusion with field stars. The colours of the PNe we are determined for H-Ks, J-H, Z-Y, and Y-J, and compared to stars and to other types of emission line objects. Cloudy photo-ionisation models were used to predict colours for typical PNe. We present near-infrared photometry for 353 known PNe. The best separation from other objects is obtained in the H-Ks vs. J-H diagram. We calculated the emission-line contribution to the in-band flux based on a model for NGC 6720: we find that this is highest in the Z and Y bands at over 50%, lower in the J band at 40%, and lowest in the H and Ks bands at 20%. A new view of PNe in the wavelength domain of the Z and Y bands is shown. Photo-ionisation models are used to explore the observed colours in these bands. The Y band is shown to be dominated by HeI 1.083 mu and HeII 1.012 mu, and colours involving this band are very sensitive to the temperature of the ionizing star. The VVV survey represents a unique dataset for studing crowded and obscured regions in the Galactic plane. The diagnostic diagrams presented here allow one to study the properties of known PNe and to uncover objects not previously classified.
Extrusion as Pretreatment for Boosting Methane Production: Effect of Screw Configurations

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

A major barrier that limits degradation of the lignocellulosic materials during biogas production is the structure itself. Without pretreatment, enzymatic attack during hydrolysis is not effective and leads to a poor yield of biogas. Thus, in this study, the effect of extrusion as pretreatment on wheat straw and deep litter was evaluated. Five screw configurations of the extruder were tested, namely, mild kneading, long kneading, reverse, kneading and reverse, and kneading with reverse. Sugar availability and biogas potentials from extruded samples were examined. Energy consumption, barrel temperature, and residence time of samples during extrusion were measured. The results showed an increment in methane yields of about 4-29 and 1-16% of extruded samples after 28 and 90 days of anaerobic digestion, respectively. A strong positive correlation (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.70) was observed between ultimate sugar availability and methane yields at 28 days. Increases in sugar availability (7-42%) accelerate degradation of the biomasses at the early digestion phases, resulting in higher yield of methane. Extrusion was less effective on deep litter because of the soft texture and possibility of sugar hydrolysis during storage.
Silencing of VEGFR-2 by RNA interference in an epithelial ovarian cancer cell line reduced LPA-induced invasion

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A73 Our previous studies have shown that VEGF could induce epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) invasion and migration in an MMP-dependent manner and that inhibition of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) by SU1498 could suppress VEGF and LPA-induced EOC invasion and migration. However, the expression profiles of VEGF and VEGFRs in EOC remain unclear. In the present study, we examined the expression of VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and co-receptors NRP-1 and NRP-2 in established EOC cells lines (DOV13, R182, OVCA429) as well as in an immortalized normal ovarian epithelium (IOSE-29). We also examined the expression of two VEGF isoforms, VEGF121 and VEGF165, in those cell lines and assessed the effect of LPA on VEGF and VEGFR expression. Our results showed that the VEGFR-2 expression correlated with tumor cell invasiveness and LPA, at 10-80 μmol/L (μM), remarkably induced VEGFR-2 expression (P
The Impact of Surface Boundary Forcing on Simulation of the 1998 Summer Drought Over the US Midwest Using Factor Separation Technique

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The factor separation (FS) technique has been utilized to evaluate quantitatively the impact of surface boundary forcings on simulation of the 1988 summer drought over the Midwestern part of the U.S. The four surface boundary forcings used are: (1)Sea Surface Temperature (SST), (2) soil moisture, (3) snow cover, and (4) sea ice. The Goddard Earth Observing System(GEOS) General Circulation Model (GCM) is used to simulate the 1988 U.S. drought. A series of sixteen simulations are performed with climatological and real 1988 surface boundary conditions. The major single and mutual synergistic factors/impacts are analyzed. The results show that SST and soil moisture are the major single pro-drought factors. The couple synergistic effect of SST and soil moisture is the major anti-drought factor. The triple synergistic impact of SST, soil moisture, and snow cover is the strongest pro-drought impact and is, therefore, the main contributor to the generation of the drought. The impact of the snow cover and sea ice anomalies for June 1988 on the drought is significant only when combined with the SST and soil moisture anomalies.
From assessment to action: A randomised controlled trial of the effectiveness of a holistic diagnostic to enhance work ability

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Employees can benefit from multimodal work-related intervention strategies. This randomised controlled trial tested the effectiveness of an integrative diagnostic service used to clarify intervention needs of employees with endangered work participation (German Clinical Trials Register: DRKS00027577). Employees with health restrictions and limited work ability were included and received an initial consultation with their occupational health physician. With computer-generated allocation lists, they were randomised to the treatment arms. The intervention group (IG) immediately attended a two-day assessment in a rehabilitation centre and then received follow-up consultations at the workplace. The control group (CG) started the two-day assessment six months after randomisation. Questionnaire data were collected from participants at their initial consultation and after six months. The primary outcome was the subjective work ability of the participants (Work Ability Score; 0–10 points). Secondary outcome measures included working conditions and sick leave duration. Data from 61 participants (IG: n=32) were analysed. A clinically important but statistically nonsignificant difference was found between IG and CG, including a moderate effect size for work ability (difference=1.15: 95% CI: −0.05 to 2.35; p=0.061). Clinically relevant differences were observed for sick leave duration in weeks (difference=−4.00: 95% CI: −7.49 to −0.51; p=0.025) and job insecurity (difference: −16.40; 95% CI: −29.82 to −2.99; p=0.017). Our results suggest that the intervention led to a reduction in sick leave and improvements in job security and work ability. The effectiveness of the intervention depends largely upon whether the needs of individuals and the requirements of workplaces are taken into consideration. Participants could be selected by occupational physicians on the basis of the occupational skill level. Further research should consider the long-term effects and health economic analyses and structural requirements for a nationwide implementation, as well as employers’ perspectives.
Exchange Rate Pass-Through, Exchange RateVolatility and Inflation Rate in Nigeria

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Recently, the Nigerian economy has been experiencing significant exchange rate fluctuations, particularly depreciations in the foreign exchange market which has been accompanied with inflation. Given this background, This paper investigates the degree of pass-through of the official and parallel exchange rates to inflation as well as the relationship between exchange rate volatility and inflation in Nigeria based on monthly time series data (January 2006 to December 2015). It employs, among others, The Generalized Auto Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH), technique in achieving its objectives. The results suggest that the parallel exchange rate passes through to inflation in the short run while the official exchange rate passes through to inflation in the long run exclusively. It also found out that exchange rate volatility has a positive and significant effect on inflation in the long run.
