Diagnostic Approach in Isolated Bulbar Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Case Report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common motor neuron disease. Based on the clinical manifestation, it is divided into spinal form and bulbar form. Bulbar form ALS is divided into two, progressive bulbar and isolated bulbar ALS (IBALS). Patients are diagnosed with IBALS whensymptoms are isolated in the bulbar region for at least six months. The prevalence of IBALS represents only 4% of the neuron disease.Objective: To provide the diagnostic approach of IBALS case based on the clinical signs and symptoms, physical examination, laboratory and radiology findings, electromyography, and fiber optic laryngoscopy examination.Case: A 64-year-old woman presented with slurred speech, the symptoms appeared 2 years ago. Within the last 6 months, the symptoms deteriorated, the patient was unable to speak, and had major difficulty in swallowing food and drinks. The functional status impairment was limited in the bulbar region.Laboratory and radiology findings did not lead to any certain disease. Electromyography and fiber optic laryngoscopy results suggesting a motor neuron disease.Conclusion: It is important to diagnose ALS patients to determine the treatment, progressivity, and prognosis of the disease.Keywords: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, bulbar form, diagnosis
Using error prone PCR in directed evolution to selected novel antibiotic resistances

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

The evolution of antibiotic resistance presents an escalating problem in the treatment of various infectious diseases worldwide. Although the origin of antibiotic resistance genes is not generally clearly documented, it has been thought that they evolved from specific genetic elements which eventually managed to spread to other microorganism of different strains and species through mobile genetics elements, transposons and plasmids. Extensively studying all aspects of these genes and their impact on the development of new treatments and drugs is of extreme importance. This study focuses on evolving and understanding how novel antibiotic resistance develops. Error prone PCR (EP-PCR) was used to introduce random mutation in an arr gene which confers high level resistance to rifampicin in E. coli. The clones obtained from EP-PCR were screened on different antibiotics with varying concentration in an attempt to isolate a clone with an increased minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as compared to the wild type parent strain (pBstN49). \n \nSeveral clones showed decreased levels of resistance against rifampicin but however none showed any significant increase in any of the other antibiotic MICs tested.
Needs Assessment for Animal-Assisted Interventions: Factors Influencing Implementation of Dogs as Judiciary Aids in Criminal Justice Processes in CPS Cases

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The study presents findings from a needs assessment exploring the critical features or core elements that bear on professionals regarding the inclusion of dogs as judiciary aides in the investigation and prosecution of child maltreatment cases. Specifically, the objectives of the current needs assessment were examined through the following questions: (1) What are the perceived benefits of implementing programs with dogs as judiciary aids throughout criminal justice? (2) What specific roles do professionals identify for dogs within criminal justice, (3) What are potential barriers to the implementation of dogs as judiciary aids programs, and (4) How are the needs and expectations of agencies considering incorporating dogs similar to or different from those agencies that are currently incorporating dogs.\nThe study identified a number of differences in the identified roles, barriers, and important factors reported by survey respondents. Quantitative analysis of responses regarding the role of dogs in the criminal justice setting revealed professionals identified roles for dogs that matched their particular scope of influence. Moreover, qualitative findings provided additional insight into participant’s concerns and convictions and their varying perceptions of factors central to the inclusion of dogs in criminal justice processes for child maltreatment. The study relies heavily on qualitative responses of participants. Implications are discussed with regard to micro and macro levels of social work practice and the field of implementation research.
[The formation of an adaptive response in children exposed to the effect of low doses of radiation as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The ability of lymphocytes to form an adaptive response in cells of the children which were exposed to small radiation doses during the Chernobyl accident was studied by hydroxyapatite chromatography of cell lysates. Ten children living in the area with high radiation level (Bryansk region) and seventeen children living in the area with natural radiation level (Bryansk region too) were examined. No difference in cell ability to form adaptive response was found in both children group.
Heritage and Ideologies in Contemporary Arab Thought: Contrasting Views of Change and Development

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

AbstractThe question of the Arab-Muslim heritage, as a guide to life in the modern world, has become crucial in modern Arab thought. Different groups have submitted different views. In a broad perspective of such views, the paper focuses on three major ideological groups: the Traditionalist (including the Muslim modernist); the Liberals (including nationalists and socialists); the Leftist or the Arab Marxists. The traditionalist, apprehensive of the future, stresses only the original Islamic sources, but attempts to offer an enlightened view of Islam to ensure certainty in the Faith, and also meet the challenge of the modern world. The liberal interprets the Arab-Muslim heritage primarily as an obstacle, leading to the current state of underdevelopment of the Arab world. The leftist stresses the revolutionary components in the heritage, seeking their service to move the Arab world toward socialism.
A Review: Text Classification on Social Media Data

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In today's world most of us depend on Social Media to communicate, express our feelings and share information with our friends. Social Media is the medium where now a day's people feel free to express their emotions. Social Media collects the data in structured and unstructured, formal and informal data as users do not care about the spellings and accurate grammatical construction of a sentence while communicating with each other using different social networking websites ( Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube). Gathered data contains sentiments and opinion of users which will be processed using data mining techniques and analyzed for achieving the meaningful information from it. Using Social media data we can classify the type of users by analysis of their posted data on the social web sites. Machine learning algorithms are used for text classification which will extract meaningful data from these websites. Here, in this paper we will discuss the different types of classifiers and their advantages and disadvantages.

Religious and Political Events in Baghdad During the Reign of Caliph Al-Qâdir and His Sunni Policy
In the Abbasid History, the century from the beginning of the Caliphate of alQadir (h. 381-422/991-1031) until the death of Seljuki Sultan Malikshah (h. 485/1092) is an important period in terms of the religious and political movements and the events wich took place in Baghdad. It is in this period that Abbasid Caliphs concentrated this efforts to regain military power, religious authority and credibility of the caliphate that was threaten by the Shiite EBuwayhid rulers assaults on Abbasids. Further, during the reign of the Caliph al-Qadir, the Ghaznawids and later during the reign of Caliph alQaim, the Seljukids entered into the process of Sunni Islams regaining political protection and support against other sects by means of explaining the Sunni creed. For these reasons this century in Islamic history can be called the period of political and religious revival.
In this regard, this article will deal with the political and religious events in Baghdad during the caliphate of al-Qadir, his policy of protecting and making Sunni Islam as the dominant view; and as well as the consequences of his efforts to protect the Abbasid Caliphate against the Buwayhid and Fâtmû pressure and threats, in the chronological order.

Alfaro* Aquaculture Biotechnology Research Group, School of Science, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland 1010, New Zealand *Corresponding author: andrea.alfaro@aut.ac.nz ABSTRACT: The New Zealand native scallop Pecten novaezelandiae has high economic value from wild catch and has aquaculture potential. We investigated scallop nutrient (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids) storage and utilization in relation to a reproductive cycle at 2 sites (Hauraki Gulf, Auckland, New Zealand) over 1 yr. Water samples were collected for seston and chlorophyll a analyses, and sediment samples were taken to evaluate the potential for re-suspended nutrients as food sources for scallops. Isotope (carbon and nitrogen) and proximate analyses were conducted for gonad, adductor muscle and digestive gland, seston (1.2–5 and >5 µm) and sediment samples. Isotope analyses revealed different signatures in suspended sediment and scallop tissues, indicating that re-suspended nutrients are unlikely to contribute to their diet. However, seston (particularly small fractions) signatures were closely related to scallop tissues, suggesting a main food source. Scallops from both sites exhibited similar reproductive cycles and utilization of nutrients. Gametogenesis started in winter (increased gonad index and energy content) and used carbohydrates stored in adductor muscles. Spawning events in spring (October-November) and summer (January-March) were associated with a sharp drop in visual gonad index (VGI), gonad index, lipid and energy contents. The energy demand required during spawning was supported by digestive gland protein. Gonad re-maturation was indicated by increases in VGI, gonad index, lipid and energy contents post spring spawning, and gonad recovery was supported by lipids from digestive glands. Results show that P. novaezelandiae utilizes energy reserves from both adductor muscle and digestive gland to cover the full costs of gametogenesis.

[Sympathetic ganglia nerve and glial cells in mice of different ages. II. Interferometric and electron microscopic study of the perikarya of neurocytes from a population with a sharply decreased number of cells].

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The number of nerve cells in stellate ganglia of mice injected antiserum against the nerve growth factor during the first five days after birth made -- 22%, 19 and 15.5% in 1, 3 and 8 month old animals compared to the control values. The neurons that developed in ganglia with reduced cell numbers are characterized by a higher dry weight of their nuclei and cytoplasm. The ultrastructure of perikaria of such cells has some pecularities different in mice of different age, and are possibly brought about by compensatory changes in the ganglia.
Evidence-based medicine: a conflict between rigour and reality

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The current government has given priority to two different objectives in reorganizing the National Health Service (NHS) in England and Wales. The first objective is to create a primary care-led NHS by organizing commissioning of hospital and community health services by new primary care organizations. The second objective is to improve quality and performance in the NHS and to assess this using evidence in various ways. Previous research has suggested that the changes GPs wish to make to services are often not based on published evidence. This suggests a conflict between the two principal objectives intended to drive the reorganization of the NHS. The aim of this study was therefore to explore these issues further. An interviewer-administered questionnaire survey was conducted on one general practitioner and one public health physician from each of four total purchasing pilots (TPPs) in Wales and their four host health authorities, respectively. The main outcome measures were the types of evidence used, and the extent to which evidence impacted on decisions. Access to evidence and views about its usefulness are also reported. It was found that more high-quality evidence was used in support of disease-specific than in support of non-disease-specific changes to care. Evidence played a greater role in decisions to change services that were purchased by health authorities, or provided by TPPs, than it did in changes to services purchased by TPPs. Similarly, higher quality of evidence was used when making decisions to change services that were purchased by health authorities or provided by TPPs, than for services that were purchased by TPPs. It is concluded that there is a mismatch between the availability of conventional, disease-specific evidence directed at the delivery of care, and the need for other kinds of evidence for commissioning changes in the organization of care. This means that we need research and development to develop new methods and new types of evidence so that we can assess the benefits of commissioning in a primary care-led NHS.
Studies on integrated control of major insect pests of the sweet pepper in a greenhouse. 3. Control of Thrips palmi with 2 species of predators, Orius sauteri and Amblyseius cucumeris.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

To control Thrips palmi on greenhouse sweet pepper cultivated in the autumn-winter season from October to December, the predatory mite, Amblyseius cucumeris, and the anthocorid bug, Orius sauteri, were released. For A. cucumeris, 100 adults per plant were released three times at about one week intervals from 3 days after planting. The T. palmi population was effectively controlled at about 1/3-1/5 the density of the control plot for 1.5 months after planting. For O. sauteri, 5 adults per plant were released twice at about one week intervals from 3 days after planting. The T. palmi population was effectively controlled at a density of about 1/5 or lower than that of the control plot for 2 months after planting.

IMPLEMENTASI METODE AL-HIDAYAH DALAM PEMBELAJARAN BACA TULIS AL-QUR’AN

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Learning, especially studying Koran, is obligatory for every Muslims. the condition of Muslim children at early age in urban areas especially in Bandung age 6 to 13 years allegedly almost 80% have not been able to read the Koran, therefore Al-Hadi Middle School (SMP) feels obliged to overcome these problems by requiring all students to learn read and write the Koran through Local Subject that is read and write the Koran. To achieve the effectiveness of learning, Al-Hidayah Method is used which is adjusted to the conditions and objectives of learning Read and Write Koran in school. The research used is Analytic Descriptive Method based on observation result, in-depth interview and test conducted. The result of this research shows Al-Hidayah method in Al-Hadi middle school implemented by using classical pattern, individual and cooperative learning. The obstacle is the lack of learning modules and not yet mastered the concept of learning the method of al-hidayah. While the superiority seen in the shortness of existing materials and exercises that enable students to achieve basic competence in reading and write Koran is shown from the number of students who can achieve the basic competencies that have been set.
Measuring transport-associated urban inequalities: Where are we and where do we go from here?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Reducing urban inequalities is at the forefront of the global sustainable development agenda, as well as national and local policies. While existing measures of inequality are mostly focused on income and wealth, it is widely recognised that non-monetary disparities such as in health, education, and housing play a crucial role in creating and reinforcing inequalities. Transport plays a central role in mitigating inequalities by enhancing access to employment, education, and essential services. It is also directly and indirectly related to disparities in housing, neighbourhoods, and health. Policymakers increasingly recognize the potential of transport policies in addressing inequalities; however, the effects of interventions need to be understood beyond the transport sector only and should consider wider impacts. In this review, we concentrate on three interlinked sectors – housing, land-use, and transportation – where local governments possess some capacity to influence the processes by which inequalities are created and exacerbated. Currently, empirical research on inequalities within these domains is fragmented. Models and datasets used for scenario testing, planning, and intervention evaluation are often disjointed, sector-focused, and rarely consider distributional effects. Our aim is to critically review the literature across different disciplines and perspectives and propose future interdisciplinary directions towards better measurement and modelling of transport-associated inequalities.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

군 조직의 보안수준 변화요인을 확인하기 위해 시작된 본 연구는 현역 간부들이 군의 보안수준 향상을 바라며 국방일보에 투고한 기고문으로부터 수집된 데이터를 근거이론(Grounded Theory)이라는 질적연구 방법에 의해 분석 후 조직구성원들이 내부자 보안위협에 대해 어떻게 대응하는지에 관한 인과적 관계를 도출하였다. 분석 결과, 인과적 조건은 ‘내부자의 보안위협’, 맥락적 조건은 ‘군 조직의 특수성’, 중심현상은 ‘군인으로서 가치관의 충돌’, 중재적 조건은 ‘보안의식’, 전략은 ‘보안위협에 대응’, 결과는 ‘보안수준 변화’로 나타났다. 핵심범주는 ‘내부자 보안위협에 대한 가치관의 충돌 정도’로 제시할 수 있으며, 두 가지의 가설이 도출되었다. 첫째, 군 조직의 구성원은 안보를 중시하는 성향이 강할수록 보안위협에 대한 가치관의 충돌을 강하게 느끼며 이에 강경하게 대응하여 조직의 보안수준을 발전시키는데 일조하고 있었다. 둘째, 동료를 중시하는 성향이 강할수록 보안위협에 대한 가치관의 충돌 정도가 약하며 이에 미온적으로 대응하여 조직의 보안수준을 퇴보시키고 있었다. 최종적으로 조직의 보안수준 향상을 위해서는 조직구성원들의 확고한 안보의식 확립을 위한 방안과 더불어 이를 뒷받침할 수 있는 제도적 발전이 필요함을 나타낸다.
