Naked-neck and frizzled feather fowls are high performance laying local chicken in Nigeria

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of genotype on the laying performance of Nigerian local chicken. The experiment was carried out using 99 local chicken of the three genotypes, comprising of 90 hens and 9 cocks (33 frizzle feather, 33 naked-neck feather and 33 normal feathered). Eggs were collected from the different genotypes for 8 weeks. The laying performance traits were egg number, hen-housed (%) and hen-day (%) egg production. Data collected were subjected to ANOVA in a completely randomised design. The hen-day egg production showed significant differences (P<0.05) in all the weeks. Naked-neck genotype performed better in terms of hen-day egg production than the other two genotypes and had highest values in week 1 (27.14±0.01), week 5 (27.60±0.09), week 7 (34.53±1.13) andweek 8 (16.30±0.03). Therewere significant differences (P<0.05) in all the weeks for hen-housed egg production and naked-neck also performed better than the frizzled and normal feather apart from week 2, 3 and 6. The naked-neck genotype had highest mean values in week 1, 4, 5, 7 and 8 with 27.18±0.06, 25.70±0.02, 19.33±0.67, 24.08±0.22 and 11.39±0.03 respectively for hen-housed egg production. The naked-neck had significantly (P<0.05) higher values for egg number when compared with frizzle and normal feathered genotypes. The values ranged between 5.67±0.67 to 2.00±0.10 (naked-neck), 6.33±0.33 to 2.67±0.67 (frizzle) and 3.33±0.33 to 1.33±0.33 (normal). It is therefore, reasonable to incorporate the naked-neck and frizzled feather genotypes of local chicken in producing locally-adapted commercial eggs
Slotted vertical wall for decoupling and beam tilt correction

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract An intra-band pattern-corrected decoupling vertical conducting wall is realized by dielectric substrate with conductor cladding on both side wall between two tightly spaced H-plane microstrip patches with λ 0 /20 edge-to-edge spacing. The wall is grounded and two symmetrical slots are etched on the vertical substrate. The measured results agree with the simulations, showing that the slotted vertical wall reduces the mutual coupling within the bandwidth to −30 dB and corrects the radiation beam tilt to be within −4.5° to 3° from the broadside direction. A gain reduction of 0.6 dB is observed compared to the gain without the slotted decoupling wall.
On Synchronized Globular Cluster Formation over Supra-galactic Scales: A Virgo-Centaurus Group Connection

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

This work reports the detection of a multi peaked colour pattern in the integrated colours distribution of globular clusters associated to the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4486, using Next Generation Virgo Survey data. This feature is imprinted on the well known bimodal colour distribution of these clusters. Remarkably, the pattern is similar to that found in previous works based on photometry from the HST Advanced Camera Virgo Survey, in less massive Virgo galaxies. This characteristic can be traced up to to 45 arcmin (217 Kpc) in galactocentric radius. This suggests that globular cluster formation in Virgo has been regulated, at least partially, by a collective process composed by several discrete events, working on spatial scales comparable to the size of the galaxy cluster. Furthermore, the presence of a similar colour pattern in NGC 5128, at the outskirsts of the Virgo Super-cluster, poses an intriguing question about the spatial scale of the phenomenon. The nature of the process that leads to the colour pattern is unknown. However, energetic events connected with galaxy or sub-galaxy cluster mergers and SMBH activity, in the early Universe, appear as possible candidates to explain an eventual enhancement/quenching of the globular clusters formation, reflected in the modulation of their integrated colours. Such events, presumably, may also have had an impact on the whole star formation history in Virgo galaxies.
PRDM1 expression levels in marginal zone lymphoma and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

PRDM1 (BLIMP1) is a transcription repressor protein shown to be involved in B-cell differentiation into plasma cells. Marginal zone lymphomas (MZL) and lymphoplasmacytic lymphomas (LPL) are B cell lymphomas that both show some degree of plasmacytic differentiation and thus can sometimes constitute a difficult differential diagnosis. In this study, we investigated if MZL and LPL have abnormalities in the expression of PRDM1 beta and if there are any differences in expression between these two entities. After interrogating 42 samples (15 marginal zone lymphomas, 9 lymphoplasmacytic lymphomas, 3 follicular lymphomas, and 13 normal/control samples), we have found that a significant percentage of MZL and LPL cases harbor abnormalities (67% and 44%, respectively) involving the PRDM1-β transcript (P=0.004). By immunohistochemistry, PRDM1 positive staining (>5%) was more common in MZL. We conclude that PRDM1-β may play a role in the pathogenesis of these low-grade lymphomas with plasmacytic differentiation.
Examining Ethnocentrism, Emotionalization, and Life Syllabus in Foreign Language Achievement

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Given the importance of ethnocentrism in social interactions and its influence on \nlanguage learning and teaching, the present study intends to explore the possible \nrelationships between using life syllabus and emotionalization on ethnocentric \nviews using the foreign language achievement (FLA) scores. To this end, 273 \nIranian English learners from different language institutes completed the scales. \nStructural equation modelling (SEM) was utilized to examine the possible \ninteractions. The findings indicated that while exvolvement, as a part of \nemotionalization, leads to higher FLA scores, involvement shows the opposite \nresults. In addition, the results revealed that the language aspect of the life syllabus \nleads to higher FLA scores, and ethnocentrism was found to be less related to FLA. \nIn the end, the results were discussed and some suggestions were made to help \npolicy makers and materials developers modify the existing syllabuses. \n

Lag free transfer transistor in CMOS image sensor pixel with a non-uniform doped gate

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A transfer transistor structure achieving complete charge transfer in a CMOS image sensor pixel is proposed to eliminate image lag. This structure adopted double N implants for photodiode to ensure a wide channel of charge transfer, a surface P type preventing from dark current and especially a non-uniform doped poly-silicon gate to adjust the potential profile in channel. The simulation results show that if a light pulse of 10000lux illuminates for one integration cycle, the signal voltage of the following frame drops to 1/50000 of the first one. The electron density in N buried layer after charge transfer is around 10 8 /cm 3 , far below the intrinsic value.
Whole Genomic Analysis of an Unusual Human G6P[14] Rotavirus Strain Isolated from a Child with Diarrhea in Thailand: Evidence for Bovine-To-Human Interspecies Transmission and Reassortment Events

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

An unusual rotavirus strain, SKT-27, with the G6P[14] genotypes (RVA/Human-wt/THA/SKT-27/2012/G6P[14]), was identified in a stool specimen from a hospitalized child aged eight months with severe diarrhea. In this study, we sequenced and characterized the complete genome of strain SKT-27. On whole genomic analysis, strain SKT-27 was found to have a unique genotype constellation: G6-P[14]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3. The non-G/P genotype constellation of this strain (I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3) is commonly shared with rotavirus strains from artiodactyls such as cattle. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that nine of the 11 genes of strain SKT-27 (VP7, VP4, VP6, VP2-3, NSP1, NSP3-5) appeared to be of artiodactyl (likely bovine) origin, while the remaining VP1 and NSP2 genes were assumed to be of human origin. Thus, strain SKT-27 was found to have a bovine rotavirus genetic backbone, and thus is likely to be of bovine origin. Furthermore, strain SKT-27 appeared to be derived through interspecies transmission and reassortment events involving bovine and human rotavirus strains. Of note is that the VP7 gene of strain SKT-27 was located in G6 lineage-5 together with those of bovine rotavirus strains, away from the clusters comprising other G6P[14] strains in G6 lineages-2/6, suggesting the occurrence of independent bovine-to-human interspecies transmission events. To our knowledge, this is the first report on full genome-based characterization of human G6P[14] strains that have emerged in Southeast Asia. Our observations will provide important insights into the origin of G6P[14] strains, and into dynamic interactions between human and bovine rotavirus strains.
Osteosarcoma of the pelvis and sacrum: A retrospective analysis of 73 patients.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

10039 Background: Treatment of pelvic and sacrum osteosarcoma (OS) poses challenges for local control and outcome. Data are scarce since these patients (pts) are often not eligible for chemotherapy protocols. Methods: All pts with high grade pelvic or sacral OS admitted to the Rizzoli Institute between 1998 and 2010 were included in this retrospective study. Results: 73 pts (40 male) were identified; median age was 32 years (8-72); 60 (82%) had pelvic and 13 (18%) sacral lesions. Fifty-five (75%) pts presented with localized disease. Forty-eight (66%) underwent surgery (and hindquarter amputation in 37% of cases, with adequate surgical margins in 78%). A surgical complete remission (SCR) was achieved in 56% of pts. Chemotherapy: 3 Drugs [cisplatin, adriamycin and standard dose ifosfamide (IFO)] were administered to 16 pts; 4 Drugs (cisplatin, adriamycin, IFO and methothrexate) to 19 pts; 4 Drugs with high dose ifosfamide (HDIFO: 15 gr/m2) in 21. Four pts did not receive chemotherapy; 13 pts received other systemic agents. A good histological response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was reported in 6 out of 37 pts (16%). With a median follow-up of 21 months (1-134), the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 22% (95%CI 11-33): 28% for localized and 0 for metastatic pts (p=0.002); 40% in pts with surgical complete remission (SCR) and 3% for no SCR (p=0.001). The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 29% (95%CI 13-46). In localized pts a trend towards a better 5-year-OS was shown for more intensive treatment [3 Dugs 21% (95%CI 0-56), 4 Drugs 31% (95%CI 8-55), 4 Drugs plus HDIFO 38% (95%CI 10-65), other regimens 20% (95%CI 0-55), no chemotherapy 0%], younger age [pediatric 42% (95%CI 0-85), adults 32% (95%CI 13-51), >40-years 23% (95%CI 10-46)], pelvic site [pelvis 32% (95%CI 16-48), sacrum 11% (95%CI 0-32)], and adequate surgical margins [adequate 41% (95%CI 20-61), inadequate 23% (95%CI 16-61)]. Conclusions: Metastatic OS of the pelvis and sacrum is invariably fatal. Surgery is pivotal for survival. In spite of an aggressive systemic treatment, the prognosis is poor even for pts in SCR. The lower rate of good histological responses for these lesions, compared with extremity tumors, suggests a different biological behavior. New treatment strategies are warranted.
Exploring Nurses' Perception of Stigma in Intensive Care Units: A Qualitative Study

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Background Stigma is a sociological concept that is important in healthcare settings because it threatens health as much as the disease itself. The consequences of stigma are profound, as those who are stagmatised often face systematic exclusion from healthcare and endure social isolation, diminished self‐esteem, depresssion, self‐harm, and deteriorating physical and mental health. Limited information is available on nurses' perception of stigma in ICUs and how it affects their attitudes, behaviours and overall well‐being when caring for patients with a broader range of stigmatised conditions. Aim This study explored the perception of associative stigma and public stigma among nurses caring for ICU‐stigmatised patients and their engagement in avoidance thoughts and behaviours. Study Design A descriptive phenomenological research study design was used to conduct this study. Analysis of interview data was guided by inductive content analysis. We explored the perception of 15 ICU nurses towards stigma and avoidance behaviours and thoughts in Egypt. Results Four themes were revealed: (1) perception of ICU nurses caring for patients with stigmatised diseases; initially, some of the participants were uncertain about experiencing stigma while caring for ICU patients with certain conditions. (2) Emotional reactions to stigma and its effect on nurses' professional conduct; despite most of the participants focusing mainly on their perception of stigma on infectious diseases such as COVID‐19, others perceive stigmatisation while caring for other patients, for example, patients with tattoos on their bodies, patients with TB, patients with HIV and patients in prison. (3) Impact of stigma on professional identity and disclosure: The ICU nurse described the challenges of fulfilling their professional and social roles when caring for patients with certain disease labels. (4) Coping strategies of ICU nurses caring for stigmatised patients; ICU nurses briefed that they need training on handling such cases and increasing their resilience. Conclusion This study has achieved a deep understanding of the perception of ICU nurses towards stigma and avoidance behaviours and thoughts in Egypt. This understanding is a prerequisite for developing appropriate interventions that address this phenomenon and thereby for the development of healthcare services in Egypt. Relevance to Clinical Practice Understanding ICU nurses' perceptions of stigma is essential for developing interventions that reduce bias and improve patient care. Enhancing nurses' awareness, emotional resilience, communication skills and fostering inclusive practices can lead to better health outcomes and a more supportive work environment.
Histochemical localization of lipid in the respiratory muscles of a fresh water air-breathing siluroid fish, Clarias batrachus (Linn.).

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The histochemical localization of lipids in the respiratory muscles of Clarias batrachus (Linn.) has been studied. The muscles innervated by the facialis (VIIth) nerve contain more lipid than those innervated by the trigeminal (Vth). The muscles directly concerned with the opercular suction pumps (Inferior and Superior hyohyoideus, Adductor, Levator and Dilator operculi) have more lipids and suggest their sustained role in the maintainance of efficiency of the opercular suction pumps. The Retractor tentaculi associated with the movements of barbels also have lipid droplets in good quantity.

Pacific capsular Myrtaceae 11. Redefinition of Metrosideros Banks ex Gaertn. and definition of infrageneric categories

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

While preparing some of the earlier parts of this series I was inclined to the view that Metrosideros Banks ex Gaertn., as it had come to be understood, should be divided into several genera. I now feel that a wider concept is advisable at this time, although further information, particularly from other lines of evidence, may eventually lead to subdivision.\nThe present concept includes Mearnsia Merrill, but excludes Nani Adanson and Kania Schlecht. The first two were reviewed in Parts 3 and 4 of this series (Dawson, 1970b, 1972a) and the last will be the topic of a later part.

Therefore, this research is conducted to create a research information system and community service based on a website application to overcome these problems. With this website application, lecturers can easily submit research results quickly, reviewers can evaluate existing research also leaders can see the entire process of ongoing activities. Lecturers can also transparently see the existing assessment process and leaders have visibility of all ongoing activities.
Vegetation dynamics in Pinus nigra Arnold subsp. nigra 100 years afterreforestation: two case studies in the central Apennines

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

We present here an integrated structural and floristic-vegetational study performed in two representative Pinus nigra subsp. nigra reforestation areas \nlocated within Natura 2000 protected areas in the central Apennines, as a mesotemperate thermotype. The aim was to determine the restoration state \na century from the reforestation, in terms of a vegetation dynamics study. A diachronic analysis was also performed using data from the literature \nfrom a previous phytosociological study in 1973 in the same areas, and considering the adjacent native woods as the control. Although these two \nreforestation areas had similar ecology and vegetation, this comparison revealed modest structural and flora differences that are mainly related to \ngeographical and topographical factors. This diachronic analysis highlights the structural and flora changes in the reforestation areas considered, and \nthus the structural and floristic-vegetation stages of the succession that was represented by the plant communities towards Ostrya carpinifolia forests \n(association, Scutellario-Ostryetum carpinifoliae) in 1973 and 2012. The minor coverage of conifers that was recorded for the two investigated sites \ncorresponds to an increase in the nemoral species of the class Querco-Fagetea and to a widespread decline in ecotone and grassland species. Although \nthe same trend is seen for the structural and floristic-vegetation dynamics, the differences that emerged from the comparison between these two \nreforestation areas are confirmed by the diachronic analysis. The status of the restoration is a function of the native woods, and thus is a function of \nthe reference site. In this sense, we can consider that for the two sites the restoration status was similar, but not the same, because only within each \nsite can the coenoses in 1973 and 2012 be considered as the developmental stages of the same dynamic process. However, if we consider the situation \nbefore reforestation, as derived from the historical documents, it can be seen that the natural vegetation dynamics was favoured, or at least accelerated, \nin the topographic positions that guaranteed greater edaphic humidity conditions. On the basis of the data obtained, we can say that 100 years \nafter reforestation these two areas produced ecological conditions that guaranteed ingression of the nemoral species that were present in the surrounding \nwoods, with their more than adequate regeneration. As well as representing an essential knowledge base for planning of future silvicultural \nactions, the knowledge acquired can provide useful indications of auto-ecological features of the species involved in dynamic restoration processes
Circulating anti-skin basement membrane zone antibodies in a patient with Goodpasture's syndrome.
