The Effect of Educational Intervention on Promoting Knowledge and Self -efficacy of Elderly in Preventing Falling

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background and Objectives:Falling is one of the most common and serious health problems in the elderly that causes disability and increases mortality and cost tolerance for the individual and society. This study aimed to determine the impact of Educational Intervention on Promoting Knowledge and Self -efficacy of Elderly in Preventing Falling.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 200 elderly, 100 cases, and 100 control groups were entered through random stratified sampling. The educational intervention was conducted in three 45 minute sessions. Data was collected through a standard questionnaire using interviews before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using independent and paired t-tests.Results: According to the results from the case group the average scores of knowledge, self-efficacy before and after the intervention were 12.34±3.14, 13.43±4.11 and 16.94± 2.60, 19.31±3.33 respectively. The mean scores of the case group increased statistically significant. However, the same phenomenon was not observed in the control group. The other data from the case group also showed a statistically significant decrease in the percentage of falls compared to the control group (P <0.05).Conclusion: Since more knowledge and self-efficacy can lead to elderly people’s ability to prevent falls, it is recommended to conduct multi-faceted educational interventions for the elderly.

Aphid-Symbiotic Bacteria Cultured in Insect Cell Lines

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT The cells and tissues of many aphids contain bacteria known as “secondary symbionts,” which under specific environmental circumstances may be beneficial to the host insect. Such symbiotic bacteria are traditionally described as intractable to cultivation in vitro. Here we show that two types of aphid secondary symbionts, known informally as T type and U type, can be cultured and maintained in three insect cell lines. The identities of the cultured bacteria were confirmed by PCR with sequencing of 16S rRNA gene fragments and fluorescence in situ hybridization. In cell lines infected with bacteria derived from aphids harboring both T type and U type, the U type persisted, while the T type was lost. We suggest that the two bacteria persist in aphids because competition between them is limited by differences in tropism for insect tissues or cell types. The culture of these bacteria in insect cell lines provides a new and unique research opportunity, offering a source of unibacterial material for genomic studies and a model system to investigate the interactions between animal cells and bacteria. We propose the provisional taxon names “ Candidatus Consessoris aphidicola” for T type and “ Candidatus Adiaceo aphidicola” for U type.
Evaluation of the efficacy of ivf programs in women with infertility who have surgical interventions on the pelvic organs

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aim . To evaluate the effectiveness of assisted reproductive technologies in women with infertility after surgical interventions on the pelvic organs. Material and methods : We analyzed the data of 90 women who approached the Nasl Medical Center due to infertility for IVF in 2017-2020, to whom different approaches in surgical treatment and without surgical interventions on the pelvic organs in the anamnesis were applied at the first stage. Results . "A differentiated approach during the surgical stage and a complex of rehabilitation anti-adhesion measures in the postoperative period, as preparation for the IVF program, ensured a frequency of clinical pregnancy occurrence in 69% of cases, and a cumulative frequency coefficient of live births (CLBR) of 44.8% in the main group." Conclusions . Decreased fertility of women who underwent abdominal surgery without observing organ-sparing principles and rehabilitation anti-adhesion measures justifies the wider introduction of endoscopic organ-sparing interventions on the pelvic organs with a mandatory postoperative complex of restorative measures in adolescent girls and women of reproductive age to preserve their fertility.
Identifying Dimensions of Attractiveness in Employer Branding: Effects of Age, Gender, and Current Employment Status

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Attracting and retaining talented human capital become one of the very sources of competitive advantage. In order to attract better employees, firms recently started using branding principles and practices in the area of human resources management. The application of branding principles to HRM has been termed as employer branding. Firms appear to be expending considerable resources on employer branding campaigns, indicating that they find value in the practice. Consequently, the concept of employer branding has become a prominent topic in the HRM field. This study attempts to identify the dimensions of attractiveness in employer branding, to examine their perceived importance levels and to contrast perceptual differences (if any) regarding the age, gender and current employment status of the respondents. In order to respond to these questions, a field study is conducted and data is collected from a convenience sample of 600 adults (half of them were employed and the other half were un-employed college students at the time of data collection). Analyses results indicated significant differences between the perceived levels of importance of employer attractiveness dimensions concerning the gender of the respondents, but neither the age nor the current employment status of them. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
THE COMB FROM THE HAYMANOVA MOHYLA AND THE SCYTHIAN MYTH OF A HERO FIGHTING A DRAGON

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The article is devoted to the analysis of images on the bone comb from the Haymanova Mohyla mound (IV century BC). The images on it quite fully represent the myth of a Hero fighting a dragon, which is not known from narrative sources. The first large plate (the «male» side of the comb) depicts a battle scene with a consistently developing plot: the defeat of one hero — the triumph of the dragon — revenge and the victory of the second hero. It can be assumed that the characters in this scene are Targitaos and Kolaxais, known from the story of Herodotus. These Scythian heroes relate to Iranian Yima (Jamshid) and Θraētaona (Fereydun). The goddess is reproduced on the second large plate (the «female» side of the comb). Her iconographic image was borrowed from the ancient Greek Art, but it was perceived by the Scythians, probably as the goddess Api (Άπί), equivalent to the Iranian goddess Aredvi Sura Anahita. The general context of the images suggests that the Scythians were familiar with the Iranian prayers to this goddess with a request to bestow good luck in the fight against hostile creatures. The comb was certainly an important ritual and status attribute.
Experimentální výsadba meruněk: porovnání PCR detekce fytoplazmy ESFY se symptomy onemocnění spojované s ESFY [Experimental orchard of apricots: comparison of pcr detection of ESFY phytoplasma with symptoms of disease associated with ESFY]

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Phytopathogenic bacterium ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum’, referred to as phytoplasma ESFY (European stone fruit yellows), is the causal agent of stone fruit disease with highly variable symptoms. Apricots are considered to be one of the stone fruit species sensitive for ESFY infection. The disease causes considerable economic losses due to the mortality of apricot trees. In this study, experimental apricot planting was monitored to observe the occurrence of symptoms and for molecular detection of pathogen. In the beginning, the plantation was tested using PCR method for ESFY detection. Symptoms of the disease were observed at the end of growing season in years 2018–2020. 18 % of the PCR ESFY positive apricot trees did not show any visible symptoms of the disease. Conversely, 21 % of ESFY negative apricot trees manifested at least one of the typical or non-specific symptoms of ESFY. In correlation with PCR results, we considered premature leaf fall, yellowing with leaf chlorosis and severe leaf roll in October to be the typical symptoms of ESFY. Slightly pinkish leaves and mild leaf roll were identified as non-specific symptoms. The group of symptomatic ESFY positive trees manifested the highest annual mortality rate 11.7 %. However, the group of phytoplasma symptomatic trees reduced the incidence of typical visual symptoms of ESFY in following 2 years. In conclusion, apricot trees cannot be reliably marked as positive/negative for presence of ESFY based only on symptom observation at the end of the growing season.
Parallel flow in Hele-Shaw cells with ferrofluids

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Parallel flow in a Hele-Shaw cell occurs when two immiscible liquids flow with relative velocity parallel to the interface between them. The interface is unstable due to a Kelvin-Helmholtz type of instability in which fluid flow couples with inertial effects to cause an initial small perturbation to grow. Large amplitude disturbances form stable solitons. We consider the effects of applied magnetic fields when one of the two fluids is a ferrofluid. The dispersion relation governing mode growth is modified so that the magnetic field can destabilize the interface even in the absence of inertial effects. However, the magnetic field does not affect the speed of wave propogation for a given wave number. We note that the magnetic field creates an effective interaction between the solitons.
How to Minimise the Clean-Up System of a Fuel Processor by Using a Power Electronic

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">With this work we present an alternative technique, which enables us to increase the CO-tolerance of a PEFC, by electrooxidising CO to CO<sub>2</sub> within the fuel cell. Compared to currently used clean-up systems the so called pulse technique is leading to the following benefits for the fuel processing system: 1.) The complexness is reduced by minimising or even avoiding subsystems like the reactor for preferential oxidation. 2.) In comparison to airbleed the technique enables us to react rapidly and dynamically when the CO-concentration in the system changes.</div>

Purification and Characterization of and [3H]Ouabain Binding to the Transport Adenosine Triphosphatase from Outer Medulla of Canine Kidney

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

This report describes a rapid procedure for purification of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase from canine kidney outer medulla with a yield of 16 to 18 mg of protein per 100 g of tissue. The purified enzyme manifests the highest specific activity reported to date for a mammalian tissue source and binds between 3,000 and 4,000 pmoles of [3H]ouabain per mg of protein. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the detergent-solubilized enzyme yields two protein peaks of 89,000 and 56,000 daltons. The former is phosphorylated with [γ-32P]ATP in the presence of magnesium and sodium and the latter is stained with periodic acid-Schiff reagent. [3H]-ouabain reacts with the purified enzyme in a manner similar to that of crude enzyme preparations. Ouabain-enzyme complexes were formed in the presence of different ligands [Mg + ATP + Na], [Mg + Pi], [Mn], [Mg + ATP], and all complexes dissociated at similar rates when chase was carried out in presence of binding ligands. Using ouabainbinding data, we calculate a turnover number of 6,480 min-1.
Training and Development on Employees’ Performance of APM Terminal, Kingdom of Bahrain

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

It has been argued that training and development improves an organization's ability to be knowledge-intensive while enabling employees to effectively take up totally new jobs or tasks. T&D offers the organization the opportunity to better both long-term and short-term efficiency and productivity. It is a result of having the right skills to maintain increased productivity and performance. This study is a direct offshoot of this logic. The investigation is conducted at APM Terminals Bahrain involving 200 conveniently sampled rank and file employees. The study utilized a descriptive research design and adopted a questionnaire for data gathering. The results of the study showed that APM has implemented at a high-level Training and Development programs that are aligned with their objectives and strategies, with corresponding Organizational Environment and Support. The programs are also implemented at a high level at a consistent basis and are properly supported by appropriate and effective Evaluation and Feedback. In addition, the results also showed that employees of APM are performing at a good level over-all. Both competency and productivity were observed suggesting that the skills and knowledge that the employees possess were properly used in achieving the desired outcomes of the organization. Finally, the study found Training and Development has a significant influence on employee performance with alignment of strategy as the only dimension found significant at 10%.

The Quasar-frame Velocity Distribution of Narrow CIV Absorbers

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We report on a survey for narrow (FWHM < 600 km/s) CIV absorption lines in a sample of bright quasars at redshifts $1.8 \le z < 2.25$ in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our main goal is to understand the relationship of narrow CIV absorbers to quasar outflows and, more generally, to quasar environments. We determine velocity zero-points using the broad MgII emission line, and then measure the absorbers' quasar-frame velocity distribution. We examine the distribution of lines arising in quasar outflows by subtracting model fits to the contributions from cosmologically intervening absorbers and absorption due to the quasar host galaxy or cluster environment. We find a substantial number ($\ge 43\pm6$ per cent) of absorbers with REW $> 0.3$ Åin the velocity range +750 km/s $\la v \la $ +12000 km/s are intrinsic to the AGN outflow. This `outflow fraction' peaks near $v=+2000$ km/s with a value of $f_{outflow} \simeq 0.81 \pm 0.13$. At velocities below $v \approx +2000$ km/s the incidence of outflowing systems drops, possibly due to geometric effects or to the over-ionization of gas that is nearer the accretion disk. Furthermore, we find that outflow-absorbers are on average broader and stronger than cosmologically-intervening systems. Finally, we find that $\sim 14$ per cent of the quasars in our sample exhibit narrow, outflowing CIV absorption with REW $> 0.3$Å, slightly larger than that for broad absorption line systems.
Mixing characteristics of multiple impacting jets

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Experiments using one and three identical round turbulent jets were performed in still non-buoyant conditions. The single jet flow and triple-jet flow produced by two jets on either side of a central jet at a converging ratio of 45° have been characterised using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and flow imaging software. Normalisation of the flow and comparison of the tri-jet flows were accomplished with the measurements from the baseline of a single jet. Flow patterns within the jet flows were mapped out in detail, and the jet flows were characterised with regards to the self-similarity in velocity profiles and the velocity decay of the flow centreline. The findings in this study have been associated and compared with other studies done on fluid jet flows and the interaction of multiple jets.
Population genomics of the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus: insights into the recent worldwide invasion

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Aedes albopictus , the “Asian tiger mosquito,” is an aggressive biting mosquito native to Asia that has colonized all continents except Antarctica during the last ~30–40 years. The species is of great public health concern as it can transmit at least 26 arboviruses, including dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses. In this study, using double‐digest Restriction site‐Associated DNA (dd RAD ) sequencing, we developed a panel of ~58,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNP s) based on 20 worldwide Ae. albopictus populations representing both the invasive and the native range. We used this genomic‐based approach to study the genetic structure and the differentiation of Ae. albopictus populations and to understand origin(s) and dynamics of the recent invasions. Our analyses indicated the existence of two major genetically differentiated population clusters, each one including both native and invasive populations. The detection of additional genetic structure within each major cluster supports that these SNP s can detect differentiation at a global and local scale, while the similar levels of genomic diversity between native and invasive range populations support the scenario of multiple invasions or colonization by a large number of propagules. Finally, our results revealed the possible source(s) of the recent invasion in Americas, Europe, and Africa, a finding with important implications for vector‐control strategies.

Avian sex determination and sex diagnosis

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

AbstractThis special report is based on the proceedings of a workshop organised by the Federal Ministry of Consumer Protection, Food and Agriculture, the Institute for Animal Science, Mariensee and the Federal Agricultural Research Centre (FAL), on ‘Management of newly hatched male chicks from layers.’The background was the fact that in Europe each year, about 280 million male chicks from layers are culled immediately after hatching. In Germany and in other countries, this has resulted in some public concern and political discussion. The objective of the workshop was to summarise and exchange current knowledge on sex determination and sex diagnosis in chicken with special emphasis on potential alternatives to culling male layer chicks.
Can we avert the need for pneumonectomy by screening for lung cancer?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In the April issue of the European journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Pierre Antoine Fuentes has provided a scholarly review on the adverse effects of pneumonectomy [1]. His very complete summary of the many bad things that can happen to the patient after this benighted operation explains why experienced thoracic surgeons fear this operation and regret clinical situations that mandate it’s performance. Recent information from lung cancer screening trials suggests that there may be some good news for patients and thoracic surgeons in this area. At the Eighth International Conference on Screening for Lung Cancer, held in Pamplona, Spain, April 25–27 2003, Hanaoka and his colleagues at Shinsu University in Nagano, Japan, presented their experience with surgical treatment of 60 patients with lung cancer detected by computerized tomographic screening. None of their patients required a pneumonectomy. This is quite unusual, since in most published series of surgical treatment of lung cancer, pneumonectomy is performed in 20–30% of cases. Two American screening programs show similar results. In the Early Lung Cancer Action Project experience, Henschke and coworkers have described their experience with baseline and first-annual repeat screening. Of 29 total cases treated surgically, there were 28 lobectomies and one pneumonectomy (in an interim, symptom-detected central endobronchial cancer) [2,3]. Crestanello and his colleagues at the Mayo Clinic reported to the Western Thoracic Surgical Association meeting in Carlsbad, California, June 19, 2003 on 53 lung resections for CT screen-detected lung cancers. No case required a pneumonectomy. These reports provide early, suggestive evidence that lung cancer screening with low-dose, non-contrast computerized tomography may have an important collateral clinical benefit. Screening may help preserve pulmonary function in patients with lung cancer by averting pneumonectomy.
The BRCA1 ring domain is essential for DNA damage repair and G2/M checkpoint activation

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

The BRCA1 (breast cancer 1, early onset) tumor suppressor gene is involved in a variety of cellular pathways, and is an essential factor for normal DNA repair by homologous recombination. The BRCA1 protein has a number of conserved domains, including a coiled-coil domain, two BRCT domains and an N-terminal RING (Really Interesting New Gene) domain. Many cancer-causing mutations have been reported that affect the BRCA1 RING domain, although the exact impact of RING domain mutations on DNA repair is not clear. We characterized a BRCA1-mutant mouse model, BRCA1∆2/∆2 , in which conditional deletion of exon 2 excises a large portion of the RING domain. BRCA1∆2/∆2 cells have a defective G2/M cell cycle checkpoint after IR-induced DNA damage. In addition, BRCA1∆2/∆2 showed a high rate of genomic instability after treatment with agents that cause DNA double strand breaks or DNA interstrand crosslinks. Co-deletion of the 53BP1 (p53 Binding Protein 1) gene rescues some, but not all, phenotypes of mutation of the BRCA1 RING domain. By clarifying the importance of the RING domain in mediating BRCA1 activity, we aim to better understand why patient mutations in the BRCA1 gene cause cancer predisposition and identify new targets for therapeutic intervention.
