Sports and recreation: Community anchor and counterweight to conflict.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article focuses on the role and significance that sports and recreation have played in American society. In particular, stress is placed on the contribution that sports has made to developing strong communities and neighborhoods. After a brief review of the historical role of sports in society, the current status of sports in America is discussed. Many communities are today unable to provide the services and benefits that recreation and sports provided during the 1950s, l960s, and 1970s. With crime seeming to have become a constant problem in many communities, with the continuing escalation of youth poverty, and with the erosion of industrial centers, sports and recreation opportunities have been eliminated from many municipal budgets. By focusing on the issue of whether recreation is a luxury or a necessity, this article examines the function of sports and recreation in both earlier and contemporary community settings.
EFFECT OF CULTIVAR ON WATER RELATIONS AND POSTHARVEST QUALITY OF GERBERA (GERBERA JAMESONII BOLUS EX. HOOK F.) CUTFLOWER

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

4 Abstract: Vase life, stem bending percentage and water uptake were evaluated in 15 different gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus ex. Hook f.) cultivars. There were significant differences for vase life (10-18 days), stem bending percentage (0-100%) and average of water uptake during 10 days. Results showed that there were close relationship between vase life and water uptake and also stem bending and water uptake; so the cultivars with high water uptake had a longer vase life and lower stem bending percentage. Also, the cultivars with longer vase life and lower stem bending showed steady water uptake rate than cultivars with shorter vase life and higher stem bending. The results led to the conclusion that cultivar and water relation had a significant effect on gerbera postharvest quality, particularly, vase life and stem bending.
Perancangan Telegram Chatbot untuk Mendukung Proses Pendaftaran Rawat Jalan Pasien Umum pada Puskesmas Sedong Kabupaten Cirebon

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

AbstractHealthcare facilities continue to develop the implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR), including patient registration systems, to improve service efficiency. Puskesmas Sedong has adopted the Mobile JKN application for outpatient registration of BPJS patients. However, general patient registration still requires on-site registration, which is considered less effective. This study aims to design a Telegram Chatbot system to support electronic registration for general patients. The method used is black box testing, with testing conducted on three visitors to the Puskesmas selected randomly to evaluate the system's functionality and effectiveness. The results indicate that the Telegram Chatbot system operates effectively, meeting user needs and enabling a faster, more efficient outpatient registration process for general patients. The system also reduces waiting times and minimizes the need for direct interaction, offering a more practical solution for patients. This study concludes that the Telegram Chatbot system has significant potential to replace the less practical manual registration method with a more effective digital approach. Broader implementation and further testing are recommended to optimize the system and support digital transformation in healthcare services, particularly in Puskesmas.

Union democracy : a case study of the Manitoba Food and Commercial Workers, Local 832

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The thesis addresses the issue of whether the nature and extent of democracy within a trade union organization is related to the degree of membership support for the union's policies. The thesis also postulates that the objectives of a trade union shape the nature and extent of internal union democracy. This study attempts to ascertain that greater union democracy would improve a union's strength vis a vis the employers with which it deals, and would consequently improve members' working conditions and benefits. An extensive evaluation of the Manitoba Food and Commercial Workers', Local 832 was undertaken to test the above hypotheses. The relationship between the level of internal democracy and the extent of membership support for union policies and actions was relatively strong, both in the correlation procedures and the regression analysis. The qualitative analysis of specific incidents in the bargaining relationship between the MFCW and Safeway and Westfair also supported the hypothesis that the level of union democracy is related to the degree of support for the union's policies. The hypothesis that greater union democracy would improve members' working conditions and benefits was indirectly supported by the quantitative relationship discovered between the level of democracy and support for union policies. Increased membership support for union policies would aid the Local in attaining the best possible negotiated benefits and working conditions for the members. Finally, some support was found for the hypothesis that trade union objectives and the economic environment shape the nature and extent of internal union democracy. The history of the MFCW's bargaining relationship with Safeway and Westfair lends some support to this hypothesis. The strength of the analysis rests in the comprehensive examination of the organization under study. The major weakness is the lack of comparison between different trade union organizations. A time-series analysis would also have been useful in determining whether initiatives to increase membership support actually influence support levels for union policies.
Maximum-likelihood modulation classification for PSK/QAM

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper addresses automatic modulation classification for PSK and QAM signals under coherent and noncoherent conditions. In particular, the paper extends previous results by treating the classification of higher-state QAM signals. A maximum-likelihood algorithm is presented for coherent classification of PSK and QAM signals. We evaluate the algorithms performance for various PSK and QAM modulation types including 64-state QAM and then compare it with a psuedo maximum-likelihood noncoherent classification technique in terms of the error rate, false alarm rate, and computational complexity. The application of these results to the design and performance of an automatic signal recognizer is discussed throughout the paper.
Effect of In-Row Plant Spacing on Growth and Yield of Korean Native Allium wakegi Araki

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Allium wakegi Araki was grown at plant spacings of 5, 10, 15, and 20 ㎝ to determine the effect of planting density on the growth and yield. Allium wakegi Araki plants grown at the 5 ㎝ plant spacing had the lowest bulb diameter and bulb weight, while plants at the lowest density (20 ㎝ spacing) had the highest bulb diameter, bulb number, bulb weight and fresh weight. In general, plants grown at narrower spacings produced significantly smaller bulb diameter and bulb weight, but resulted in the highest yields and plants per hectare and lower fresh weights per plant.

Frequency of class 1 human leukocyte antigen allele subtypes in Egyptian patients with idiopathic uveitis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Bacground Idiopathic uveitis is the most common uveitis type and is viewed as an inconclusive diagnosis for patients as well as physicians. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing helps in understanding the pathogenesis of several diseases. Limited knowledge is known regarding the association of HLA with idiopathic uveitis. Aim This was a cross-sectional observational case–control study evaluating HLA-A and HLA-B allelic and phenotypic frequencies in patients with idiopathic uveitis. Patients and methods HLA-A and HLA-B molecular typing by PCR-sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes and LIRAS interpretation software was performed for 60 patients with idiopathic uveitis and 60 controls recruited from Kasr Al-Ainy Hospitals, Cairo University. Results Anterior uveitis pattern was the most common (55%), followed by pan-uveitis (35%) and posterior uveitis (10%). Overall, 40% of patients had bilateral uveitis, whereas 60% had unilateral uveitis. A total of 23 HLA-A and 43 HLA-B variant alleles were detected. HLA-A*09 and HLA-A*10 allele and phenotype frequencies were significantly higher in the patient group ( P =0.023 and 0.034, and P= 0.013 and 0.029, respectively). HLA-B*07 allele and phenotype frequencies were significantly higher in the control group ( P =0.007 and 0.006, respectively). HLA-B*27 and HLA-B*05 were detected in 8.3 and 26.7%, respectively, with no significant difference. Conclusion HLA-A*09 and HLA-A*10 alleles were statistically significantly higher in patients with idiopathic uveitis. HLA-B*07 might be a protective allele against disease development. Larger cohort needs to be tested to validate these findings. Routine HLA typing and proper follow-up for primarily diagnosed idiopathic uveitis is recommended as it might reveal secondary causes for uveitis, especially in patients with positive HLA-B*27 and HLA-B*05 .
P153 Measuring functional PI3K and NFkB pathway activity to distinguish between short-term and long-term disease-free survivors of high grade serous ovarian cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction/Background

The disease-free survival (DFS) of high-grade serous cancer (HGSC) varies greatly, despite comparable clinicopathological features and treatment. It is our hypothesis that the difference in DFS is caused by differences in activity of tumour-driving signal transduction pathways.

Methodology

Using previously described Signal Transduction pathway Activity (STA) assays (table 1), signalling pathway activity scores for AR, ER, PI3K-FOXO, HH, NFkB, TGFβ, NOTCH and Wnt were derived from publicly available mRNA expression (Affymetrix) data of primary HGSC, with clinical annotation (GSE9891). K-means cluster analysis was performed on STA-scores of AR, ER, PI3K-FOXO, HH, NFkB, TGFB, NOTCH and Wnt pathway. However, as PI3K and NFkB scores were most discriminating in cluster formation, final clusters were based on these pathways alone.

Results

We selected 81 out of 140 sample data with a DFS <12 or >24 months. The remaining 59 samples with a DFS of 12–24 months were kept aside to be allocated to identified clusters by discriminant analysis in a later stage. Repeated K-means clustering resulted in two stable clusters; a low PI3K/high FOXO and high NFkB cluster (n=43) with a more favourable prognosis, and a high PI3K/low FOXO and low NFkB cluster (n=38) with a less favourable prognosis (log-rank=0.011, figure 1). The remaining samples (n=59) were then allocated resulting in a low PI3K and high NFkB cluster of 73 samples, and a high PI3K and low NFkB cluster of 67 samples (log-rank=0.036, figure 2).

Conclusion

We identified two signalling pathway activity clusters in HGSC with a difference in DFS. The low PI3K/high FOXO and high NFkB activity of the favourable prognosis cluster may indicate apoptosis, while the high PI3K/low FOXO and low NFkB activity of the unfavourable prognosis cluster may indicate high cell division. Elucidating underlying mechanisms of HGSC aids our understanding of the disease and provides possible new leads for targeted therapies.

POLYMERIZATION OF 1-TRIMETHYLGERMYL-1-PROPYNE AND PROPERTIES OF THE RELATED POLYMER

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A high-molecular-mass poly(1-trimethylgermyl-1-propyne) was synthesized by polymerizing 1-trimethylgermyl-1-propyne with catalytic systems based on niobium and tantalum pentachlorides (NbCl 5 , TaCl 5 , TaCl 5 -BuLi). The produced polymer is amorphous and stable in air, and its glass transition temperature is above 300°C. According to 13 C NMR spectroscopy, the polymer backbone is composed of cis and trans units and the percentage ratio between these units depends on the nature of the used catalytic system and varies from 10: 90 (TaCl 5 ) to 60: 40 (NbCl 5 ). It was shown that poly(1-trimethylgermyl-1-propyne) samples prepared using different catalytic systems are distinguished by the levels of supramolecular orders. The gas permeability and selectivity parameters of polymer films possessing varying levels of order were studied.
Terörizmin Finansmanında Şüpheli İşlem Bildirimi

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Suspicious transaction reporting, which is an effective instrument against the financing of terrorism, has gained more importance after the thoughts of developing a preventive legal system against terrorism financing became prominent. Since suspicious transaction reporting is not explicity regulated in the Law on Prevention of Financing of Terrorism, it is important to examine whether it has a legal basis or not, especially because it has an aspect that also affects criminal law. Article 16 of the Law on Prevention of Financing of Terorrism, which makes a general reference to another code, neither provides clarity on the code of conduct that must be followed nor satisfies the requirements of the principle of legality regarding the crime of disclosure of suspicious transaction reporting.
Faculty Opinions recommendation of tRNA properties help shape codon pair preferences in open reading frames.

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

Translation elongation is an accurate and rapid process, dependent upon efficient juxtaposition of tRNAs in the ribosomal A- and P-sites. Here, we sought evidence of A- and P-site tRNA interaction by examining bias in codon pair choice within open reading frames from a range of genomes. Three distinct and marked effects were revealed once codon and dipeptide biases had been subtracted. First, in the majority of genomes, codon pair preference is primarily determined by a tetranucleotide combination of the third nucleotide of the P-site codon, and all 3 nt of the A-site codon. Second, pairs of rare codons are generally under-used in eukaryotes, but over-used in prokaryotes. Third, the analysis revealed a highly significant effect of tRNA-mediated selection on codon pairing in unicellular eukaryotes, Bacillus subtilis, and the gamma proteobacteria. This was evident because in these organisms, synonymous codons decoded in the A-site by the same tRNA exhibit significantly similar P-site pairing preferences. Codon pair preference is thus influenced by the identity of A-site tRNAs, in combination with the P-site codon third nucleotide. Multivariate analysis identified conserved nucleotide positions within A-site tRNA sequences that modulate codon pair preferences. Structural features that regulate tRNA geometry within the ribosome may govern genomic codon pair patterns, driving enhanced translational fidelity and/or rate. PMID: 16473853
Reduction of Streptococcus mutans Adherence and Dental Biofilm Formation by Surface Treatment with Phosphorylated Polyethylene Glycol

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Initial attachment of the cariogenic Streptococcus mutans onto dental enamel is largely promoted by the adsorption of specific salivary proteins on enamel surface. Some phosphorylated salivary proteins were found to reduce S. mutans adhesion by competitively inhibiting the adsorption of S. mutans -binding salivary glycoproteins to hydroxyapatite (HA). The aim of this study was to develop antiadherence compounds for preventing dental biofilm development. We synthesized phosphorylated polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivatives and examined the possibility of surface pretreatment with them for preventing S. mutans adhesion in vitro and dental biofilm formation in vivo. Pretreatment of the HA surface with methacryloyloxydecyl phosphate (MDP)-PEG prior to saliva incubation hydrophilized the surface and thereby reduced salivary protein adsorption and saliva-promoted bacterial attachment to HA. However, when MDP-PEG was added to the saliva-pretreated HA (S-HA) surface, its inhibitory effect on bacterial binding was completely diminished. S. mutans adhesion onto S-HA was successfully reduced by treatment of the surface with pyrophosphate (PP), which desorbs salivary components from S-HA. Treatment of S-HA surfaces with MDP-PEG plus PP completely inhibited saliva-promoted S. mutans adhesion even when followed by additional saliva treatment. Finally, mouthwash with MDP-PEG plus PP prevented de novo biofilm development after thorough teeth cleaning in humans compared to either water or PP alone. We conclude that MDP-PEG plus PP has the potential for use as an antiadherence agent that prevents dental biofilm development.
Geometry of Adult Rectus Abdominis and Erector Spinae Muscles

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Mathematical modeling of human joints requires accurate information concerning anthropometric parameters such as muscle cross-sectional areas and muscle moment arms. The purpose of this study was to calculate the average crosssectional area, average volume, and length of the muscle moment arms about the spinal column for the rectus abdominis (RA) and the erector spinae (ES) for those portions of the muscles that are involved in spinal flexion and extension. Materials for this study came from archival computed tomography scans of 28 living subjects. The muscle outlines were digitized and the moment arms calculated as a percentage of anteroposterior trunk depth. The average cross-sectional area of the RA was 10.5 cm2, and 31.75 cm2 for the ES. The average volumes for the RA and ES were 356.16 cm3 and 843.46 cm3, respectively. The muscle moment arm ratio was 0.29 for the ES, while the males and females had ratios of 0.50 and 0.40, respectively, for the RA. Computed tomography scanning is a method that allows the accurate calculation of internal anthropometric parameters that will be of use in mathematical modeling.

Product and channel prediction for direct marketing in banking sector

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Direct marketing is an advertisement method in which customers are directly informed for product offers through one-to-one communication channels. With the advancements in technology, customer databases of businesses began to grow well, therefore, detecting the needs of each customer and offering the optimal product becomes harder. Large customer dataset needs to be analyzed to make the best product offerings to the potential customers over the most proper channels and to increase the return rate of a marketing campaign. However, this goal is not very easy to accomplish, since, negative returns in the dataset usually outnumber the positive ones. Imbalanced datasets cause data mining algorithms reveal poor performance. This thesis studies the similar problem for bank product marketing. Two data mining solutions are proposed, partitioning based method and model based method for bank product and channel prediction. First proposed approach depends on unsupervised learning method, and uses clustering to predict product and channel for new customers. Second one presents a hybrid approach with unsupervised and supervised learning methods, which first constructs a classification model to detect if the customer is buyer or non-buyer and then clusters customers for product and communication channel offers. Experimental analysis on real life banking campaign dataset shows promising results.
