Yellow roses in Fortitude Valley

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This exegesis interrogates the mental illness Pure Erotomania, the rare delusional disorder which presents with the sufferer having the delusional (and therefore unshakeable) belief that the person they objectify is in love with them. My play Yellow Roses in Fortitude Valley is about one woman's emotional journey as she is relentlessly stalked by a Pure Erotomanic male. It is a fascinating mental illness, which includes all the 'box office type' features, which make it an exciting and frightening subject to write a dramatic work about. It is confusing, illusory, surreal and frightening, but best of all for the writer and audience it is a real human condition. Yellow Roses in Fortitude Valley is written in a style that truthfully represents and portrays the journey and struggle for both the victim and the sufferer. The research undertaken for both the play and exegesis was a hybrid of many overlapping disciplines involved in the current discourse. As a recently diagnosed and recognized disorder, it is still new territory for professionals in the field and for audience members. I believe this makes it an opportune time for an academically researched creative project to enter into current discourse.

Previous creative works on this topic, some of which I have interrogated, have approached the issue of stalking as a predator/victim scenario, an unrequited love or a domestic violence situation. I wished to portray the stalking as a mental illness in the form of the psychiatric disorder Erotomania, my approach undertaking to explain victim impact and the prolonged and chronic course of Erotomanic stalking. I also wished to illustrate the underlying themes which I uncovered during my research, being; female victims of sex crimes; dominant patriarchal ideology; and the current interventions in stalking by the legal and mental health systems.
A cross-sectional study on the assessment of dermatology life quality index among the adolescents and young adults with acne vulgaris in south Indian population

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Acne vulgaris is one of the most common dermatoses involving chronic inflammation of hair follicles and their accompanying sebaceous gland. Depending up on the grade of the disease severity, it might have a psychological impact on any patient. There is a very few studies on the assessment of dermatology life quality index among patients with acne vulgaris in south India. Proper awareness and early intervention regarding the psychiatric sequel of acne can benefit the outcome of patients. Materials and Methods: This is a hospital based prospective cross-sectional questionnaire study done on acne vulgaris patients attending the dermatology outpatient department in a tertiary care hospital in south Kerala. QoL was measured using both acne specific [Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI)] questionnaire and skin disease specific [Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)] questionnaire. Results: Among the patients assessed with DLQI questionnaire, 82.9% had impaired quality of life and 94.3% as assessed with the CADI. The mean CADI score was 5.8 and the mean DLQI score was 6.97. The impact of DLQI was more among adolescent age group than among young adults. Conclusion: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with increased likelihood for psychological burden in society especially among adolescent age group. It is vital for the dermatologist to incorporate quality of life index measurement when treating acne vulgaris patients to provide better emotional care and appropriate counselling.

Abstract 13880: Outcomes in Pregnant Women Hospitalized With Acute COVID-19 Infection

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: There are conflicting data on COVID-19 outcomes in pregnant women. Using the AHA COVID-19 CVD Registry we evaluated COVID-19 outcomes in pregnant vs non-pregnant women with COVID-19. Methods: Women 18-40 years old hospitalized from March 2020 to December 2021 with symptomatic COVID-19 were included (n=2,068), with 110 (5.3%) pregnant at admission. Women with unknown pregnancy status were excluded. Vaccine data were limited (2.8% of participants), therefore omitted from analysis. Baseline demographics and symptoms at presentation were compared between pregnant and non-pregnant women (Table). Rates of death, mechanical ventilation, ICU admission, hospital stay ≥5 days, myocardial infarction, stroke, DVT, PE, and a composite of all outcomes were determined. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed, adjusting for comorbidities and prior CVD. Results: Pregnant women hospitalized with COVID-19 had fewer comorbidities than non-pregnant women (Table). There were no deaths in the pregnant group and 44 (2.3%) in the non-pregnant group. Fewer pregnant women were hospitalized ≥5 days (29.1% vs 41.2% non-pregnant); this difference was not statistically significant after multivariable adjustment [adjusted HR (95% CI), 0.67 (0.43-1.02)]. There were no significant differences between the groups in the composite outcome [adjusted HR (95% CI), 0.72 (0.48-1.07)] or its components (Table). Conclusions: Pregnant women hospitalized with symptomatic COVID-19 had fewer comorbidities compared with non-pregnant women. There were fewer deaths and lower rates of hospitalization ≥5 days in pregnant vs non-pregnant women which was no longer statistically significant after multivariable adjustment. The potential for residual confounding due to healthier pregnant women presenting with milder COVID-19 illness or being admitted for non-COVID-19 indications compared to non-pregnant women must be considered when interpreting these findings.
Eutrophication Characteristics and Their Relationships to Chlorophyll-a Concentrations in Urban Park Ponds

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The water quality of city park ponds must be kept at certain levels because such ponds are important facilities for the comfortable life of citizens, and hence must be improved if heavy algal blooms occur frequently. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and chlorophyll concentrations were measured from 1999 to 2003 for four park ponds in Osaka city to investigate eutrophication and its causes. The means TN, TP and Chl.a concentrations ranges were 0.89-5.4 mg-N · l-1, 0.12-0.67 mg-P · l-1, and 24-310 μg · l-1 respectively. In the comparison of water quality with those of irrigation ponds and other park ponds, three of the four ponds showed intermediate levels, and the remaining one showed much progressed levels. Treated sewage water, effluent water from a landfill site, and water from a pumping well accelerated the trophic state of ponds easily. A pond where a low Chl.a concentration but with high TN and TP concentrations existed. Thus, it was surmised that treated sewage water flowing into a pond indirectly influences pond water quality. Also, there was a park pond that decreases its TN concentration markedly in summer, and denitrification in the emergent plant zone was suspected. Since such characteristics may also contribute to water quality improvement, further studies are required.

Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the system proposed in scenario C is the most pertinent alternative, It is concluded that the system proposed in scenario C is the most relevant alternative, because the system has 90% autonomy without the generator set.
B. bassiana and inseticides in coffee 663 Scientia Agricola, v.60, n.4, p.663-667, Oct./Dec. 2003 COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGUS Beauveria bassiana AND INSECTICIDES USED IN COFFEE PLANTATIONS

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT: Microbial control in integrated pest management (IPM) programs of coffee plantations is an important factor for the reduction of pest population densities. The use of selective pesticides can be associated with entomopathogens, increasing the efficiency of the control and reducing the use of required insecticides. The in vitro fungitoxic effect of insecticide formulations of Thiamethoxam, Cyfluthrin, Deltamethrin, Alpha-Cypermethrin, Triazophos, Chlorpyrifos, Fenpropathrin and Endosulfan and Beauveria bassiana (CG 425 strain) was evaluated at three concentrations (FR = average field recommendation; 0.5 × FR and 2 × FR). Effects of these products on conidia germination, vegetative growth and sporulation were compared. Only five insecticides, at the FR concentration, promoted conidia viability higher than 60%. Viability should be considered the most important factor to be evaluated since it is the first step of the infection process. The insecticide formulations of Alpha-Cypermethrin, Thiamethoxam and Cyfluthrin caused the lower inhibition level on conidia germination at the two lower concentrations, with no difference in relation to the control. With respect to vegetative growth analysis, Thiamethoxam at the two lower concentrations was not found to cause radial growth inhibition. Thiamethoxam caused the smallest inhibition level with regard to conidia production. The use of Alpha-Cypermethrin and Thiamethoxam formulations in coffee IPM programs for a B. bassiana inoculum conservation strategy are recommended, since these products were compatible with the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (CG 425), an important natural control agent of the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei.
Innovation and Realization of Universal Health Care Coverage in Kenya: A Case of National Hospital Insurance Fund

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Purpose: The National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) plays a role of health financing which is a key pillar of universal health care coverage in Kenya. However, as of 2014, the Universal Health Care (UHC) index in Kenya was at [52%] compared to [55.0%] in 2019, which represent a mere improvement in access to health by [3%] in a span of 6 years. Thus, a lot has to be done in ensuring that everybody has access to affordable and quality health care services. Although innovation is an important construct, there is scanty of literature and evidence to link it with realization of universal health care coverage in the economy. Thus, the effect of innovation on realization of UHC Coverage by NHIF was explored. Specifically, process innovation and technological innovation in relation to realization of UHC by NHIF was determined. Diffusion of innovation theory and the technology acceptance model theory guided the inquiry. Methodology: Explanatory descriptive survey design was embraced targeting [155] respondents. In total, [112] respondents were selected through stratified random technique. Information in primary mode was obtained through questionnaire that had semi-structured items. The questionnaire was pilot tested among [12] respondents selected away from the study sample. Processing of the gathered views was done descriptively and inferentially. Tables and figures were used in presenting the analyzed findings. Findings: It was noted that process innovation and technological innovation all have significant influence on realization of Universal Health Care coverage by National Hospital Insurance Fund. The study concludes that innovation significantly predicts realization of universal health care. Recommendations: The study recommends that policy makers at National Hospital Insurance Fund should regularly review the existing policies and amount of premiums contributed by members especially the self-employed people so that the same is affordable. Information and communication technology managers working at National Hospital Insurance Fund should invest in latest and modern state of the art technologies and replace the existing and obsolete ones.

Phytosanitary examination: Ukraine experience and international standards

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The article explores Ukraine’s experience in conducting phytosanitary expertise based on international standards. It was stated that Ukraine should develop a series of draft in national legislation in the field of quarantine and plant protection, which would be adapted to the legislation of the European Union and at the same time meet the requirements of the International Plant Protection Convention. In this area, Ukraine has already partially implemented some structural reforms in the phytosanitary sector, but these processes require continued state support and encouragement, international coordination that will facilitate the development of agriculture in general. Such coordination can be undertaken primarily in the framework of international universal organisations within the UN system, in particular within FAO. It has been emphasised that Law of Ukraine No. 2501-VIII “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Regulation of Some Phytosanitary Procedures” came into force on February 2, 2019. Among the innovations are the granting of the right to carry out expert examination to private laboratories, new terms in the field of plant quarantine and the creation of the Register of Phytosanitary Certificates issued. It has been concluded that Ukraine is currently actively applying international standards, participating in their development and registering official translations of international standards for phytosanitary measures. Developing national and applying international standards, as a key factor in creating a quality system in the field of plant quarantine, not only ensure full fulfilment by Ukraine of its obligations under the IPPC and SPS, agreeing on the phytosanitary safety of exported quarantine cargoes, but also increase the competitiveness of the domestic vegetal products in the world market. This creates a positive image of Ukraine as a reliable trading partner that does not violate the requirements of other countries and guarantees the conformity of product quality, phytosanitary procedures to internationally recognised standards. Therefore, for qualified phytosanitary examinations, the mechanism of guaranteeing compliance with national and international standards, amending legislation, introducing effective penalties for violation of the rules and procedure for conducting phytosanitary examinations should be a promising area
Yellow goatsbeard Tragopogon dubius Scop. (Asteraceae): confirmation of its dubious occurrence in Central Slovenia

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Tragopogon dubius is a species native to SW Slovenia and with several dubious records in central and eastern parts of the country. Its locus classicus is in SW Slovenia at Senožeče, but there is a slight doubt about the type description as no herbarium material has been preserved. All records (and herbarium vouchers in University of Ljubljana’s (LJU) collection) of the species from continental Slovenia have been critically assessed, but none of them has proved to be reliable. Three new recently discovered records linked to the railways in central and E Slovenia are presented and discussed.
Initiating Change in Secondary Education: Enhancing Basic Skills Acquisition and the School-to-Work Transition Using Research-Based Vocational Education Resources.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

A study was conducted to describe some of the tools, techniques, and approaches that secondary school educators use to direv:t change activities. It preseated early evidence of successful use ,f two sets of vocational education resource materials in 12 demonstration sites, 6 for each resource. Thr. materials were BASICS: Bridging ocational and Academic Skills, which helps teachers provide students with the basic skills needed by today's work force, and CONNECTIONS: School and Work Transitions, whit': helps ease the problems involved in the transition from school to work. Data were collected by a preimplementation survey of participants at an orientation workshop, telephone interviews with each site coordinator, and a survey of users after adoption of materials. Findings indicated that research-based vocational education resources offer how-to-do-it frameworks of ideas for teachers; help to defuse objections of staff and school boards who are resistant to change; set the climate for change; reinforce activities that teachers already do; and increase the credibility of a learning activity with students. Successful implementation called for extensive time and effort devoted to key activities and for ongoing support from administrators and educational leaders.

Participation of protein kinase C in the activation of human neutrophils by phorbol ester.

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

The calmodulin antagonist N(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene-sulfonamide (W-7) has been examined as an inhibitor of superoxide anion production and granule exocytosis in phorbol ester (PMA)-activated neutrophils. Inhibition of the respiratory burst was observed at a concentration of W-7 identical to that required for inhibition of native protein kinase C (PKC), whereas the concentration required to inhibit the secretory response was found to correspond to that required for inhibition of the proteolytically converted fully active PKC. The IC50 of W-7 was in both cases 5 and 12 fold higher than that required for inhibition of calmodulin dependent kinases. The results confirm the essential role for the membrane-bound PKC in the production of O2- radicals and provide a clear evidence of the direct participation of the proteolytically activated cytosolic PKC to the secretory response of PMA activated neutrophils.
Justification of per-unit risk capital allocation in portfolio credit risk models

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Risk capital allocation is based on the assumption that the risk of a homogeneous portfolio is scaled up and down with the portfolio size. In this article we show that this assumption is true for large portfolios, but has to be revised for small ones. On basis of numerical examples we calculate the minimum portfolio size that is necessary to limit the error of gradient risk capital allocation and the resulting error in a portfolio optimization algorithm or pricing strategy. We show the dependency of this minimum portfolio size on different parameters like the probability of default and on the credit risk model that is used.
Genetic and Epigenetic Discoveries in Human Retinoblastoma

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

Retinoblastoma is a rare pediatric cancer of the retina. Nearly all retinoblastomas are initiated through the biallelic inactivation of the retinoblastoma tumor susceptibility gene (RB1). Whole-genome sequencing has made it possible to identify secondary genetic lesions following RB1 inactivation. One of the major discoveries from retinoblastoma sequencing studies is that some retinoblastoma tumors have stable genomes. Subsequent epigenetic studies showed that changes in the epigenome contribute to the rapid progression of retinoblastoma following RB1 gene inactivation. In addition, gene amplification and elevated expression of p53 antagonists, MDM2 and MDM4, may also play an important role in retinoblastoma tumorigenesis. The knowledge gained from these recent molecular, cellular, genomic, and epigenomic analyses are now being integrated to identify new therapeutic approaches that can help save lives and vision in children with retinoblastoma, with fewer long-term side effects.
Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Foods

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A method for the determination of 3, 4-benzopyrene in Japanese teas has been developed. Japanese teas were extracted and saponified with alkaline methanol in Soxhlet extraction apparatus. The extracts were partitioned with n-hexane, dimethyl-sulfoxide, and n-hexane successively, and these partitions were condenced. After 3, 4-benzopyrene was isolated by alumina column chromatography, measured by spectrophotofluorometry and calculated from the wave length of 405mμ by the “baseline” method. Identification of the hydrocarbon was made by thin layer chromatography.The recoveries of 3, 4-benzopyrene added to each 100g of Japanese teas at a level of 20ppb were ranged from 65 to 86%. However, when Japanese teas were extracted with hot water instead of alkaline methanol, the results were reduced to 0 to 3%. This fact seems to indicate that infusing tea in hot water is safe relating to carcinogen 3, 4-benzopyrene.3, 4-benzopyrene was found from Japanese teas at levels varying from 0.0 to 16.0ppb.
