[Does Masui's Ca-sensitive cytostatic factor exist in the cytoplasm of mature nonactivated eggs of Acipenser stellatus, Rana temporaria and Xenopus laevis?].

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The cytoplasm of mature non-activated and cleaving eggs of A. stellatus and R. temporaria had no cytostatic effect. The cytoplasm treated with EGTA, being injected in one of two blastomeres of the cleaving egg of the same species, inhibits fully or partially the cleavage. The nuclei in the "arrested" blastomeres had, however, vesicular structure but were not blocked at metaphase, as could be expected if the cleavage was inhibited by a cytostatic factor described by Masui (1974). The portion of perished embryos and "arrested" blastomeres was shown to increase with the dose of EGTA injected in the egg, donor of cytoplasm. In the experiments with reciprocal injections of the intact cytoplasm of the mature non-activated eggs in one of two blastomeres of the recipient embryo carried out on R. temporaria and X. laevis, the cytoplasm of X. laevis only arested the cleavage but in this case as well only 4 out of 32 "arrested" blastomeres were at metaphase. The cytostatic effect observed in our experiments was not, hence, similar to that observed by Masui on R. pipiens.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Globalization has transformed the educational landscape in India, significantly influencing English language teaching and learning. With the advent of economic liberalization in the 1990s and the surge in digital technology, the demand for English proficiency has skyrocketed, shaping pedagogical methodologies. This paper explores the dual impacts of globalization on English education, analysing its role in bridging and exacerbating the urban-rural divide. Specific attention is given to government initiatives such as the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which aims to modernize language education while ensuring inclusivity. This study employs a mixed-methods approach to assess the evolving trends in English language pedagogy, identifying key challenges and opportunities within diverse socio-economic contexts. It concludes with recommendations to enhance English education as a tool for empowerment in a globalized world.
PTU-145 Incidence of Eosinophilic Oesophagitis in a New Zealand Population: A Retrospective Analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EO) is the diagnosis in 10–15% of dysphagic patients in European and N American studies, most frequent in men aged less than 50 years. It is precipitated by aero-allergens. Diagnosis requires > 20 eosinophils per hpf on oesophageal biopsies. We investigated its incidence in a New Zealand population where the genetic profile is similar (92% NZ European descent) but the environmental exposure to flora very different. Methods A retrospective review of 871 patients investigated by gastroscopy for dysphagia from 2006–11 at Dunedin hospital. Age, sex, endoscopic findings and whether biopsied were recorded from the endoscopy database. Histology was determined from the hospital PAS system and equivocal cases reviewed by a consultant histopathologist. Sex and age differences were interrogated with chi-squared and P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results Average age of all patients was 68.7 years, 57.1% male. Common diagnoses were normal (27.7%), oesophagitis (21.7%), cancer (11.2%), dysmotility (7.3%), peptic stricture (5.0%). 20 patients (12 male, mean age 45.5 years) had EO. 5 of these had endoscopic abnormalities (2 × ridges, 2 × Schatzki rings, 1 × furrows). 351 patients (40.9%) had oesophageal biopsies, but only 86 of 434 where the underlying cause was not evidence ie no cancer, oesophagitis or peptic stricture. EO incidence was 2.3% of all patients, 5.7% of those biopsied but 23.2% of those where an alternative diagnosis was not evident. Annual incidence varied from 1.1 to 4%. The frequency of biopsies was greater in 2011 (73.6%) than previous years (26.9–44.1%) but the number of cases identified did not differ significantly (3.4–9.0% of those biopsied). Abstract PTU-145 Table 1 Variation of Frequency of Biopsy and EO with Age and Sex Total Biopsied Eosinophilic oesophagitis Male 497 224 (45.1%) * 12 (2.4%: 5.4% of those biopsied) Female 374 133 (35.6%) 8 (2.1%: 6.0% of those biopsied) < 50 years old 96 42 (43.8%) 12 ** (12.5%: 28.6% of those biopsied) > 50 years old 771 313 (40.6%) 8 (1.0%: 2.6% of those biopsied) * P < 0.05 ** P < 0.0001 Conclusion EO appears less frequent in a New Zealand dysphagic population than in previous Northern hemisphere studies although this might be due to few biopsies where no macroscopic abnormality was seen. Biopsies are more frequent in men than women but EO no more likely. Biopsies are not more frequent in younger patients ( < 50 y.o) but EO is much more frequent. The exact incidence of EO and reasons for discrepancies with previous studies merit further investigation. Disclosure of Interest None Declared
Temperature Changes in Gastrointestinal Tract in Relation to Heat and Cold on Skin

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

For our temperature readings of a mucous membrane of gastrointestinal tract we used a Queen's potentiometer. Ten dogs were used. Under nembutal anesthesia, the abdomen was opened and an opening in the stomach or intestine was made. For measurements of temperature of mucous membrane of the stomach the ends of 3 thermocouples (devised by Bachem), covered with shellac and embedded in celloidin, were introduced into the stomach and fastened to the inner surface by a ligature. For recording the temperature of the mucous membrane of the intestine the 3 thermocouples mounted on a piece of a rubber tubing of suitable diameter, and fastened with a rubber band were introduced into the intestine (duodenum). For measuring the temperature of the rectum the thermocouples were introduced through the anus. Heparin was injected intravenously (10 mg. per kilo), the femoral artery opened and a long glass thermometer introduced through it into the abdominal aorta. Ice packs and hot moist towels were applied to the skin of the chest of dogs. The results are shown on the accompanying graphs. The abscissa represents the time from the beginning of the experiment, the ordinates—temperature in centigrade. Dotted lines represent the findings of the temperature in the abdominal aorta, the straight line—the temperature of the surface of the mucous membranes. The perpendicular lines show the time of application of cold and heat to the body surface of the dog.
Stereotactic and Robotic Minimally Invasive Thermal Ablation of Malignant Liver Tumours - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background: Stereotactic navigation techniques aim to enhance treatment precision and safety in minimally invasive thermal ablation of liver tumours. We qualitatively reviewed and quantitatively summarised the available literature on procedural and clinical outcomes after stereotactic navigated ablation of malignant liver tumours. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed on procedural and clinical outcomes when using stereotactic or robotic navigation for laparoscopic or percutaneous thermal ablation. The online databases Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched. Endpoints included targeting accuracy, procedural efficiency and treatment efficacy outcomes. Meta-analysis including subgroup analyses were performed. Results: Thirty-four studies (2 randomised controlled trials, 3 prospective cohort studies, 29 case series) were qualitatively analysed and 22 studies included for meta-analysis. Weighted average lateral targeting error was 3.7mm (CI 3.2,4.2), with all four comparative studies showing enhanced targeting accuracy compared to free-hand targeting. Weighted average overall complications, major complications and mortality were 11.4% (6.7, 16.1), 3.4% (2.1, 5.1) and 0.8% (0.5, 1.3). Pooled estimates of primary technique efficacy were 94% (89, 97) if assessed at 1 – 6 weeks and 90% (87, 93) if assessed at 6 – 12 weeks post ablation, with significant remaining between-study heterogeneity. Pooled odds ratio of primary technique efficacy for stereotactic versus free-hand targeting was 1.9 (1.2, 3.2)(n = 6 studies). Conclusions: Advances in stereotactic navigation technologies allow highly precise and safe tumour targeting, potentially leading to enhanced early treatment efficacy. The use of varying definitions and terminology limit comparability of safety and efficacy among studies, highlighting the crucial need for further standardization of follow-up definitions.

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

With the increasingly development of economy in China, economic growth and efficient use of energy is a hot topic in recent years, also China is under pressure of carbon emissions reductions during the process of economic development. This paper try to do a research to find weather the structure of energy consumption and economic growth exist long-term dynamic equilibrium relationship. Based on VAR model, though Granger causality test, impulse response and variance decomposition, combined with China's development of low-carbon economy, in the years between1978 to 2012 , four results has been showed: First, China's economic growth and energy consumption exist a stable long-run equilibrium relationship. Second, at the 1% level, there is a two-way Granger causality coal consumption and economic growth. Third, in lag 4, the energy consumption is produced positive effects on economic growth and the impact of coal consumption has maximum affect. Forth, the development and utilization of renewable energy is an effective way to solve China's economic development and energy constraints contradictory.
Landscape-Epidemiological Zoning of the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea by Tularemia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective of the study was epizootic-epidemiological zoning of the area of Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea by manifestations of tularemia to determine the level of epidemic hazard of each zone. Materials and methods . Utilized were archival data of the Black Sea Plague Control station over the period of 1946–2017 and plague Control Center of the Rospotrebnadzor. With the help of GIS software packages, MapINFO 10.5 and ArcGIS 10.2, the data bases containing the point-like layers of the sites of infection with tularemia (49), isolation of tularemia agent (195), and the layer of landscape-geographical regions in the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea were created. Results and discussion. Usage of the geo-information technologies allowed for detailed consideration of tularemia manifestations in different parts of the region. The prospects of applying Arc GIS and MapINFO for geoencoding, processing and creation of geo-information pool of tularemia manifestations over a long period was shown. Vector data of landscapes and sites of epidemics and epizootic manifestations of tularemia on different species of mammals and ticks were generated. The conversion of the database to Microsoft Excel made it possible to make full use of statistical capabilities for epidemiological analysis. The work on epidemiological zoning carried out in the Krasnodar region and the Republic of Adygea starkly illustrated the feasibility of using GIS technologies for those purposes. The results of the analysis allowed for optimization of the mode of epizootiological survey in different parts of the studied region. Advisability of epizootiological inspection and monitoring of the territories with identification of geographical coordinates for epizootic manifestation sites was proved.

ABSTRACT The D3 structures deforming the neoautochthonous sediments in the southern part of the Northern Oman Mountains, are shown to be synchronous folds that developed contemporaneously with sedimentation. During their development, these folds tended to form highs associated with basins behind them, that migrated in time and space from east to west over Oman foredeep
Household Mobility Over the Great Recession: Evidence from the U.S. 2007-09 Survey of Consumer Finances Panel

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper uses data from the 2007-09 Survey of Consumer Finances panel to examine U.S. households&amp;amp;amp;#x27; decisions to move and the role of negative home equity and economic shocks, such as job loss, in these decisions. Even over this period of steep house price declines and sharp recession, we find that most moves were prompted by standard reasons. The recession&amp;amp;amp;#x27;s effects are nonetheless apparent in the notable fraction of homeowners who moved involuntarily due to, for example, foreclosure. Many involuntary moves appear to stem a combination of negative home equity and adverse economic shocks rather than negative equity alone. Homeowners with both negative equity and economic shocks were substantially more likely to have moved between 2007 and 2009 and to have moved involuntarily. The findings suggest that, analogous to the double-trigger theory of default, the relationship between negative equity and household mobility varies with households&amp;amp;amp;#x27; exposure to adverse shocks.
Risk assessment for vulnerable consumers from Listeria monocytogenes in blue cheese

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Listeria monocytogenes are bacteria that cause listeriosis, a disease which is very severe in vulnerable people. Vulnerable people include pregnant women, people over 65 years of age, infants, and those with a weakened immune system. While most semi-soft cheeses do not let L. monocytogenes grow, blue cheeses may be an exception, and pose a risk to vulnerable groups. L. monocytogenes is widespread in the environment and can grow at refrigeration temperatures. This makes it a particular problem in ready-to-eat foods such as cheese. It can also remain in the environment in food factories for several years as it can be difficult to remove. Foodborne listeriosis is a relatively rare illness in comparison to other foodborne diseases. A search found two potential listeriosis outbreaks and one individual case may have been caused by blue cheese worldwide. No listeriosis illnesses due to blue cheese were identified in the UK. Blue cheese is not frequently consumed by vulnerable consumers. When consumed, it is usually in low amounts. Published data from Scottish local authorities and the Food Standards Agency suggest that overall percentage of blue cheeses contaminated with L. monocytogenes in the UK is low. A search of the scientific literature on contamination in blue cheese from European countries found that most of these studies examined Gorgonzola cheese. The rinds of Gorgonzola were much more likely to be contaminated than the centre of the cheese. Research also shows that the acidic levels and levels of moisture in blue cheese can support L. monocytogenes growth. Most of these studies showed only a small amount of bacterial growth in the centre of the cheese.

Today, the free-living bryozoans often dominate epibenthic faunal communities in these expansive habitats, yet their biology and ecology remain poorly understood. This study examines their unique mode of life by exploring the relationship between form and function in the free-living Cupuladriidae of tropical America. Cupuladriid species occupy distinct niches in water depth and sediment type, and these variables correlate with a variety of morphological traits amongst species, thereby helping formulate hypotheses on functional morphology. These hypotheses were tested with disturbance, burial and mobility experiments. Species deal both passively and actively with disturbance and burial. Colony size and shape passively influences colony stability on the sea floor, susceptibility to burial and the ability to emerge once buried. Movable mandibles (setae) assist in emergence following burial, actively increase colony stability, and deter the settlement and disruption of encrusting growth of other organisms. Mandibles also enable colonies to move over the sea floor, but such behaviour appears to be of minimal benefit to avoid predation or to influence dispersal. Disturbance on the sea floor is the most important factor in driving the convergent evolution of the mobile free-living form. Colony shape and size and the employment of mandibles to improve stability, return to the surface after burial, and remove epibiota are central to the post-Mesozoic success of free-living bryozoans.
