CHANGES IN THE LEVELS OF NICOTINAMIDE NUCLEOTIDES AND IN ACTIVITIES OF NADP-DEPENDENT DEHYDROGENASES AFTER A BRIEF ILLUMINATION OF RED LIGHT

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

A brief red irradiation caused an immediate rise of NADPH level and an immediate drop of NADP level in coleoptilar node of etiolated Avena seedling. With the duration of the dark incubation after the red irradiation, the level of NADPH gradually fell, and the NADP level rose higher than in non-irradiated materials. Such NADP-dependent dehydrogenases as glucose-6-phosphate, isocitrate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases were activated immediately after the red irradiation.
Intercropping of collard green and radish ‘Cometo’: spatial arrangement and growing efficiency

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Intercropping is a method of growing plants that assists in rational use of natural resources. Based on this concept, the aim of this study was to evaluate the response of collard green and radish ‘Cometo’ crops in monoculture and in intercropping under different spatial arrangements through physical production indicators (technical coefficients). The study was conducted in plant beds in a randomized block design (RBD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments involved growing the two crops separately and intercropped under different spatial arrangements: (1:2) one row of radish ‘Cometo’ between two rows of collard green; (2:2) two rows of radish ‘Cometo’ between two rows of collard green; and (3:2) three rows of radish ‘Cometo’ between two rows of collard green. The spatial arrangements adopted did not affect the growth and development of radish ‘Cometo’ and of collard green, and all the arrangements used exhibited high land use efficiency, especially the 3:2 arrangement, which provided the greatest land use efficiency, at 1.69.
Precision Medicine for Kawasaki Disease

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a multisystem inflammatory illness of infants and young children that could result in acute vasculitis. Death due to this systemic vasculitis syndrome most frequently results from thrombosed coronary artery aneurysms and coronary arteritis. Without treatment, 25% of children with KD develop coronary artery abnormalities. Current therapy for KD consists of intravenous immunoglobulin within the first 10 days of fever onset; this treatment reduces the prevalence of coronary artery abnormalities to 5%. Advances in genetic and proteomic analysis have sparked a worldwide effort to identify genes and potential biomarkers associated with KD. In this review, we highlight important research advances that have been made in the epidemiology, etiology, genetic polymorphisms, diagnosis, and therapy of KD.
Risky Spaces, Algorithims, and Signifiers: Disappearing Bodies and the Prevalence of Racialization in Urban Camera Surveillance Procedures

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Amidst continuous claims about racialized profiling in the city, recent literature suggests that informationization of the body is occurring as a result of the union between identification, verification and closed circuit television (CCTV) monitoring systems. In these systems, biometric recognition measures (e.g., facial or retinal topography) and computerized administrative records generate suspicion profiles and risk categories. While advanced technological systems tend toward the creation of “disembodied states,” where bodies are represented as binary codes in centralized databases, the politics of “people watching people” are still grounded in racialized procedures. The objective of this paper is to comprehend how racialized profiling in the city is reconstituted through local authorities’ reliance on urban camera surveillance and risk management schemes.
Prevalence of posterior ankle impingement syndrome in Egyptian swimmers

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Posterior ankle impingement syndrome is a common cause of posterior ankle pain that is known to be associated with sports which require the athletes to repetitively plantar flex the ankle such as ballet dancers, gymnasts, football, swimming, cycling. PAIS can limit the athlete’s ability to perform at the optimal level. Objective: To determine the prevalence of posterior ankle impingement syndrome in Egyptian swimmers. Subjects & Methods: Three hundred and fifty male and female Athletes; their age ranging from 8 to 18 years old practicing swimming for at least one year. Diagnosis of PAIS was made based on history taking and assessment using hyper plantar flexion ankle special test. Results: The prevalence of PAIS in the selected sample was 24.9% with 95% CI of 20.62- 29.64%. Conclusion: Swimming practice must be with precautions to avoid PAIS injury. Routine extensor tendon stretching before swimming and protective ankle dorsiflexion taping are recommended to prevent posterior ankle impingement syndrome.
A ghost from the past: the South African developmental state of the 1940s

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Bill Freund offers an account of the development of South African capitalism through the lens of the 'development state' model. This model is a label used in the variety of capitalism literature to describe state-business relations in some Asian economies, including Japan, in the post war era. Though focusing on the 1940s, Freund examines the early signs of such a model in the period immediately after the South African (Boer) war, associated with Alfred, Lord Milner, which has come to be known as the 'reconstruction' period. While conventional wisdom associates the policy initiatives of the 1924 Pact government around industrial and labour policy to the need to accommodate 'poor whites', Freund, following Christie, Clark and others, also argues that these and related policies also incorporated strong elements of industrialization (arguably though cautiously), even 'developmentalism'
Recurrent and founder mutations in the Netherlands: cardiac Troponin I (TNNI3) gene mutations as a cause of severe forms of hypertrophic and restrictive cardiomyopathy*

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background About 2-7% of familial cardiomyopathy cases are caused by a mutation in the gene encoding cardiac troponin I (TNNI3). The related clinical phenotype is usually severe with early onset. Here we report on all currently known mutations in the Dutch population and compared these with those described in literature. Methods The TNNI3 gene was screened for mutations in all coding exons and flanking intronic sequences in a large cohort of cardiomyopathy patients. All Dutch index cases carrying a TNNI3 mutation that are described in this study underwent extensive cardiological evaluation and were listed by their postal codes. Results In 30 families, 14 different mutations were identified. Three TNNI3 mutations were found relatively frequently in both familial and non-familial cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). Haplotype analysis showed that p.Arg145Trp and p.Ser166Phe are founder mutations in the Netherlands, while p.Glu209Ala is not. The majority of Dutch TNNI3 mutations were associated with a HCM phenotype. Mean age at diagnosis was 36.5 years. Mutations causing RCM occurred less frequently, but were identified in very young children with a poor prognosis. Conclusion In line with previously published data, we found TNNI3 mutations to be rare and associated with early onset and severe clinical presentation.
Differing Psychological Definitions of Liberalism and Conservatism: Their Statistical Association with Personality and with Racism

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

One-hundred-thirty-seven participants were administered the Psychotemporal Survey of Ideologies (PSI), which yielded scores on six scales: a “visionary liberalism focused on the future” scale, a “pragmatic liberalism focused on the present” scale, a “guilt-ridden liberalism focused on the past” scale, a “dread-ridden conservatism focused on the future” scale, a “pragmatic conservatism focused on the present” scale, and a “nostalgic conservatism focused on the past” scale. These six PSI scores were correlated with “big five” personality dimensions on the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R); plus, scores on the Sexual-Racial Double-Standard Test (S-RD-ST) were regressed over the six PSI scores. A significant positive correlation between PSI “guilt-ridden liberalism focused on the past” and NEO PI-R neuroticism indicated that neuroticism is associated not with liberalism in general but with “liberal guilt”. A significant negative correlation between PSI “pragmatic conservatism focused on the present” and NEO PI-R openness indicated that openness is not positively correlated with liberalism but is negatively correlated with one definition of conservatism. A significant positive correlation between PSI “nostalgic conservatism focused on the past” and NEO PI-R conscientiousness indicated that conscientiousness is associated not with conservatism in general but with one definition of conservatism. S-RD-ST-measured prejudice disfavoring African-American women and favoring white men was associated with PSI “dread-ridden conservatism focused on the future,” whereas prejudice favoring African-American women and disfavoring white men was associated with “visionary liberalism focused on the future.” These findings show that surveying and scaling the PSI“s three psychotemporal definitions of liberalism and its three psychotemporal definitions of conservatism, instead of simply treating liberalism and conservatism as opposite ends of an ideological continuum, constitute a fruitful approach to understanding political ideologies and their relationship to other variables such as personality dimensions and racial biases.
Real-time reconstruction of footprint positions using an "intelligent carpet" imaging sensor

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Fast real-time reconstruction of the position of footprints on an “intelligent carpet” sensor is achieved on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) by parallel computation based on the previously introduced Parallel Center-of-Mass Algorithm (PCoMA). Its performance with synthetic data (numerical phantoms) as well as with data measured with a Photonic Guided-Path Tomography (PGPT) sensor head shows that position error in the order of 10E-2 is achievable at tens of kHz frame rate. Additional data processing is possible on the unused FPGA resources to allow efficient streaming of sensor information. This suggests that low-cost, large area PGPT floor sensors can be installed and used in community environments for unobtrusive long-term monitoring of gait stability and changes with age or due the onset of illness.
Finance, Innovation and Geography

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The overarching aim of Finance, Innovation and Geography: Harnessing Knowledge Dynamics in German Biotechnology is to explore linkages between geographies of finance and relational geographies of innovation. This is achieved by questioning how investment activities affect the unfolding of innovations and in turn are affected by it. This book focuses on biotechnology innovation processes from the perspective of relational economic geography. It reconstructs the unfolding in time and space of eight innovations in German biotechnology. Each one is represented in a qualitative case study. The analysis focuses on the relational work of building, transforming, ending and replacing of collaborative relationships and organizational arrangements surrounding emergent innovations ・ including investment relations and relational work by investors. In this way, the contribution of investors to unfolding innovations is studied with sensitivity to context and situated interactions. The geography of these dynamics is conceptualized by drawing on the recent literature on relational proximity and distance as well as ideas of materiality and space. This book provides a unique perspective, and shows that innovation paths are strongly interwoven with local and temporary opportunities as well as crises, and that investment is embedded in these dynamics. This is essential reading for students and academics of both economics and innovation.
Poor adult tuberculosis treatment outcome and associated factors in Gibe Woreda, Southern Ethiopia: An institution-based cross-sectional study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major medical and public health problem throughout the world, especially in developing countries including Ethiopia. Its control program is currently being challenged by the spread of drug-resistant TB, which is the result of poor treatment outcomes. Hence, this study assessed poor adult TB treatment outcomes and associated factors in Gibe Woreda, Southern Ethiopia. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 1, 2020 to March 30, 2020, using a standard checklist to review clinical charts of TB patients who enrolled on first-line TB treatment under DOTS between June 2016 and June 2019. Poor treatment outcomes constituted death during treatment, treatment failure, and loss to follow-up (LTFU). Descriptive statistics were used to describe the characteristics of study participants. A binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors influencing treatment outcome and adjusted odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval were reported. The statistical significance of all tests in this study was declared at P-value <5%. A total of 400 adult TB patients were participated. The mean age of study participants was 39.2±16.7 years, 55.5% were males and 79.8% were pulmonary tuberculosis cases. Regarding the treatment outcomes, 58% completed treatment, 27.5% cured, 9.3% were LTFU, 3.2% died, and 2.0% failed. The overall poor treatment outcome was 14.5% (95% CI: 11.1-17.9). Age (aOR = 1.02; 95%CI: 1.01-1.04), male gender (aOR = 1.82; 95% CI: 0.99-3.73), travel ≥ 10 kilometres to receive TB treatment (aOR = 6.55; 95% CI: 3.02-14.19), and lack of family support during the course of treatment (aOR = 3.03; 95% CI: 1.37-6.70), and bedridden baseline functional status (aOR = 4.40; 95% CI: 0.96-20.06) were factors associated with poor treatment outcome. Successful TB treatment outcome in this study area was below the national TB treatment success rate. To improve positive treatment outcomes, remote areas should be prioritized for TB interventions, and stakeholders in TB treatment and care should give special emphasis to adults over the age of 45 years, males, those who travel more than 10 kilometres to receive TB care, having bedridden baseline functional status and those who had no family support.
Adequate Yearly Progress for Students With Emotional and Behavioral Disorders Through Research-Based Practices

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Because schools are held accountable for the academic performance of all students, it is important to focus on academics and the need for effective teaching practices. Adequate yearly progress, a method of accountability that is part of the No Child Left Behind Act (2001), profoundly affects the education of students who have emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). These students, who typically and consistently perform below grade level, are, or soon will be, tested on grade level across content-area courses. The authors conducted a review of academic interventions for students with EBD to broaden the impact of research by developing a list of instructional interventions that researchers have demonstrated to be effective in improving academic performance of students with EBD.
Population and households dynamics: A mountainous district in northern Japan in the Shûmon Aratame Chô of Aizu, 1750–1850

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The authors examine population trends, demographic characteristics, and the family reproduction system in a highland area of Japan. Aizu district is located in northeastern Japan and has both a mountainous area and a narrow plain. The study is based on Shûmon Aratame Chô (SAC), population registers of four villages between 1750 and 1850 and focuses on the mountainous sector. Demographically, this area stagnated because of its isolation and remoteness. There were few migrations in or out. The peasants married early but bore few children. The authors show how demographic patterns are interrelated with family and household patterns. The most frequent family type was the stem family household, traditionally considered as characteristic of Japan, where the ie (house) was usually transmitted to a single heir. Family transmissions of the rural estate are observed in detail. A household cycle took about 30–35 years to complete. Major differences were seen among social classes, but, overall, Aizu families possessed ideals of ie and were incorporated into ie systems, particularly in the upper classes.
Business analytics maturity of firms: an examination of the relationships between managerial perception of IT, business analytics maturity and success

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study develops a measure for business analytics (BA) maturity and empirically examines the relationships between managerial perception of IT, BA maturity and BA success. The findings suggest that (1) BA maturity can be measured via BA integration & management support, process-level benefits of BA and technology & data analytics capabilities, (2) BA maturity positively affects organizations' overall BA success, and (3) managerial perception of IT positively influence organizations' achievement of BA maturity.
[Glucagonoma - a rare neuroendocrine tumor (NET) that typically originates in the pancreas].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

One of the primary indicators of this condition is a painful and migratory dermatitis. Additionally, early signs often include weight loss and diabetes. Patients with glucagonoma commonly first encounter general practitioners or dermatologists. Unfortunately, due to the nonspecific nature of symptoms such as eczema-like dermatitis, weight loss and diabetes, diagnosis is frequently delayed, often by 2-3 years. Consequently, by the time patients are diagnosed, the tumor has usually grown and metastasized, often spreading to the liver. As a result, surgical intervention is often not possible, and treatment options are usually limited to palliative care. However, with early diagnosis of glucagonoma, treatment can be curative. Therefore, it is crucial for medical professionals who initially meet these patients, including dermatologists, general practitioners, endocrinologists, and others, to be aware of this condition to ensure an early diagnosis. By recognizing the signs and symptoms early, doctors can potentially improve patient outcomes and save lives.
Random Actions in Experimental Zero-Sum Games

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

A mixed strategy, a strategy of unpredictable actions, is applicable to business, politics, and sports. Playing mixed strategies, however, poses a challenge, as the game theory involves calculating probabilities and executing random actions. I test i.i.d. hypotheses of the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium with the simplest experiments in which student participants play zero-sum games in multiple iterations and possibly figure out the optimal mixed strategy (equilibrium) through the games. My results confirm that most players behave differently from the Nash equilibrium prediction for the simplest 2x2 zero-sum game (matching-pennies) and 3x3 zero-sum game (e.g., the rock-paper-scissors game). The results indicate the need to further develop theoretical models that explain a non-Nash equilibrium behavior.
Tolerance of selected crops to gypsiferous water originating in coal mines

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The disposal of gypsiferous water, generated in coal mining operations, has become a problem in the Mpumalanga Highveld region in South Africa. As part of an investigation into the feasibility of using this water for irrigation, sand and water culture experiments were conducted in a glasshouse and growth chambers to determine growth responses of maize, sorghum, pearl millet, sunflower, soybean, cowpea, dry bean, wheat, rye, triticale, oats, barley, annual ryegrass, and lucerne cultivars to gypsiferous mine water in the germination, seedling and vegetative growth stages. Germination %’s were generally not affected. The seedling growth of maize, sorghum, pearl millet and lucerne was more sensitive and showed more significant cultivar differences than the seedling growth of soybean and the annual temperate crops. Seedling growth curves with increasing concentrations of Ca, Mg and SO4 followed a similar pattern for most of the crops: where CaSO4 was in solution, growth decreased in a linear manner, but above saturation concentrations with increasing gypsum crystal content, it increased despite decreasing osmotic potentials of the treatment solutions. The vegetative growth of sunflower, lucerne, dry bean and rye was more tolerant than seedling growth, but was more sensitive for maize and cowpea, and the same as seedling growth for sorghum, pearl millet, wheat, oats, triticale and annual ryegrass. It was concluded that the major property of this water that suppressed growth was the decreased osmotic potential. However, it is the ‘effective’ osmotic potential (i.e., the average osmotic potential during the whole growth period) and not that of the treatment solutions, that was mainly responsible for the eventual growth. The ‘effective osmotic potential’ is determined by evapotranspiration and the rapidity of gypsum precipitation, which in turn may be affected by the growth rate, temporal, environmental and soil factors. Sensitivity of crops and growth stages is therefore related to its sensitivity to the external osmotic potential, whereas tolerance both in the seedling and vegetative growth stages was found in crops primarily affected by the ionic effects of Na and/or Cl. Possible nutrient effects due to the high Ca and SO4 need further investigation.
