in tropical agricultural environments

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Id this work, soil (o plant transfer factor of 226 Ra and ZB Ra obtained in areas of traditional agncuhural practices varied as a function of the considered cultivated species, but little variation was observed as a function of the soil type. Beans and soybeans presented a more important absorption than cereals (com, rice and wheat). Values of transfer factor of the legumes (beans and soybeans) were about an order of magnitude greater than the average obtained in areas of high natural radioactivity, while the results for the cereals did not presented such clear differences. Cultural inputs of 226 Ra and 2Z8 Ra are occurring in agricultural areas, but few species can demonstrate it. Soil to plant transfer factor values for 226 Ra and 228 Ra, obtained in agricultural areas seem more applicable in models of risk evaluation
IMPLEMENTATION AND IMPACT OF A HALAL FOOD STANDARD: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF MALAYSIA

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

As a Malaysian halal food standard, MS1500 was established to strengthen the Malaysian role in the global halal market. This study aims to identify the factors affecting the implementation of MS1500, its positive impact, and the relationship between its implementation and impact. The food and beverages industry in Malaysia, which already has a halal certificate and halal logo, was chosen as the study population. The covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) method was employed, with 212 sample companies. The results show that Perception-On-Implementation, Halal-Control-System-Activity and Owner-Management-Employee-Limitation were the factors affecting the implementation of MS1500. Four positive impacts of its implementation were also found: Trade & Free Movement, Innovation, Clean & Save Production-Process and Consumer & Corporate Image. In addition, it was discovered that the better the implementation of MS 1500, the greater the positive impact that could be achieved by the industry. It was also found that in Malaysia, finance and regulations were not the factors causing limitations in the implementation of the halal food standard. The findings of the study can be used as an input for Malaysian government in planning suitable programmes to promote the implementation of the standard. Moreover, the extent of the positive impacts of the implementation on the industry is expected to encourage all food sectors in Malaysia to apply and fully implement MS1500 in their daily operations.
Integration of Graphene Electrodes with 3D Skeletal Muscle Tissue Models

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Integration of conductive electrodes with 3D tissue models can have great potential for applications in bioelectronics, drug screening, and implantable devices. As conventional electrodes cannot be easily integrated on 3D, polymeric, and biocompatible substrates, alternatives are highly desirable. Graphene offers significant advantages over conventional electrodes due to its mechanical flexibility and robustness, biocompatibility, and electrical properties. However, the transfer of chemical vapor deposition graphene onto millimeter scale 3D structures is challenging using conventional wet graphene transfer methods with a rigid poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) supportive layer. Here, a biocompatible 3D graphene transfer method onto 3D printed structure using a soft poly ethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) supportive layer to integrate the graphene layer with a 3D engineered ring of skeletal muscle tissue is reported. The use of softer PEGDA supportive layer, with a 10 5 times lower Young's modulus compared to PMMA, results in conformal integration of the graphene with 3D printed pillars and allows electrical stimulation and actuation of the muscle ring with various applied voltages and frequencies. The graphene integration method can be applied to many 3D tissue models and be used as a platform for electrical interfaces to 3D biological tissue system.

Risk Based Internal Shariah Audit Practices in the Islamic Bank

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Shariah audit is an essential key function to ensure Shariah compliance in Islamic banking institutions. Shariah audit complements existing functions of conventional internal audit, which is lacking in providing adequate assurance on Shariah compliance. Hence, there is a need to incorporate Shariah audit function to existing corporate governance framework of Islamic banks (IB). However, there is not much guidance that auditors could refer to in order to perform comprehensive Shariah audit procedure. The current study intends to provide in-depth explanation on the process of internal Shariah audit, particularly on the planning, execution and reporting, also follow up phases. If focuses on the application of risk-based internal audit (RBIA) approach in the practices. The study adopts a qualitative approach of single case study in an attempt to achieve its objectives. By providing detailed explanation on practices of internal Shariah audit in Islamic banks, findings are expected to contribute in supplying valuable in-depth information for Islamic banks, as well as other Islamic institutions. This information is especially important for in strategizing internal Shariah audit practices as an important control and monitoring strategy in their business operation.
Density functional and classical simulations of liquid and glassy selenium

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Molecular dynamics simulations of liquid and glassy selenium have been carried out using density functional (400--773 K, 600 atoms) and classical force field (290--500 K, 5488 atoms) methods. Structural features (structure factors, pair distribution functions, bond lengths, bond and dihedral angles, cavities) and dynamical properties (diffusion coefficients, power spectra, sound velocity, collective excitations, bond lifetimes) agree well with experimental data where available. The structures are predominantly chainlike, with a small fraction of rings with a range of sizes, and large cavity volumes lead to flexible chains. It is striking that the density functional simulations show very few ${\mathrm{Se}}_{8}$ rings at 600 K and below.
Treatment outcomes of metastatic melanoma in the elderly patients: A retrospective analysis.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

e19028 Background: Cutaneous melanoma (CM) incidence is rapidly rising in the elderly population resulting in treatment challenges and increased economic burden. Although old age is a marker of poor prognosis of melanoma, aging associated co morbidities, cognitive decline and social isolation confound the outcome results. This report describes our experience of treating elderly patients (pts) with metastatic melanoma (MM). Methods: Between October 2002 and October 2008, 26 elderly pts with MM, 16 males and 10 female, median ages 75 years (yrs), range 60- 90 yrs were treated at the University of Connecticut Health Center after informed consent on a standard treatment. Metastatic sites included soft tissue and or lymph nodes and or lung (13 pts) and liver and or brain and or bones (13 pts). 22 pts opted for treatment and received either single agent temozolomide (3 pts), combined chemotherapy containing carboplatin, vinblastine, temozolomide (CVT) (10 pts) or CVT plus interferon (IFN) (3 pts), high dose interleukin 2 (IL2), (2 pts), biochemotherapy (3 pts) or metastatectomy with tumor derived heat shock protein vaccine (clinical trial) (1 pt). Four pts declined treatment and were followed up (included in survival analysis). Results: All pts tolerated treatments well with expected side effects and no treatment associated mortality. The overall response rate is 58% (15 out of 26), with complete response in seven pts (27%), partial response in 8 pts (31%), progressive disease in 9 pts (35%) and stable disease in 3 pts (12%). The median survival (MS) of all patients is 15 months (mths) (range 3-74 mths). During 7 year follow up period, 17 pts have died of progressive disease while 9 pts are surviving (6 with disease and 3 with no evidence of disease). The median survivalof surviving patients is 15 mths (range 7-74 mths); while those who died of disease are 12 mths (range 4-18). Conclusions: Our experience suggests that elderly patients with metastatic melanoma respond to standard chemotherapeutic agents used either alone or in combination resulting in improved clinical outcomes in some. Laboratory studies are underway to understand biologic relevance of clinical responses of melanoma in elderly patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Social Support, Self-Efficacy, and Spirituality of Adolescents: A Structural Equation Model of Their Personal Resilience During a Pandemic

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The research identified the best fit model of personal resilience among 400 adolescents during a pandemic in Region XII, Philippines. A quantitative non-experimental method employing descriptive-correlation approach was utilized. The study applied mean, multiple regression, Pearson-product moment correlation, and structural equation modeling in analyzing the data. Results exhibited that the three exogenous variables, specifically, social support, self-efficacy, and spirituality, and the endogenous variable which is personal resilience were very high. The exogenous variables significantly influence the endogenous variable with spirituality as the best predictor of personal resilience. The best-fit model recognized the important connection of the three exogenous variables with personal resilience. The best fit model accentuated and established that social support, indicated by emotional support and instrumental support; self-efficacy, indicated by persistence; and spirituality, indicated by a feeling of security and mindfulness influenced and best predict the personal resilience of adolescents during a pandemic as indicated by novelty-seeking and emotional regulation. Nonetheless, social support, self-efficacy, and spirituality abetted adolescents to develop personal resilience to handle distress and cope during the pandemic.

Governance through Economic Paradigms: Addressing Climate Change by Accounting for Health

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Climate change is a major challenge for sustainable development, impacting human health, wellbeing, security, and livelihoods. While the post-2015 development agenda sets out action on climate change as one of the Sustainable Development Goals, there is little provision on how this can be achieved in tandem with the desired economic progress and the required improvements in health and wellbeing. This paper examines synergies and tensions between the goals addressing climate change and economic progress. We identify reductionist approaches in economics, such as ‘externalities’, reliance on the metric of the Gross Domestic Product, positive discount rates, and short-term profit targets as some of the key sources of tensions between these goals. Such reductionist approaches could be addressed by intersectoral governance mechanisms. Health in All Policies, health-sensitive macro-economic progress indicators, and accounting for long-term and non-monetary values are some of the approaches that could be adapted and used in governance for the SDGs. Policy framing of climate change and similar issues should facilitate development of intersectoral governance approaches.

[Tapia's syndrome : Rare complication of securing airways].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Nerve injuries are a rare complication of airway management. Two cases of Tapia's syndrome following orotracheal intubation are reported. Case 1: a 23-year-old male patient underwent an otorhinolaryngology (ENT) surgical procedure with orotracheal intubation. A left-sided Tapia's syndrome was verified 3 days later. Case 2: a 67-year-old patient developed a right-sided Tapia's syndrome following an arthroscopic intervention of the left shoulder in the beach-chair position. In both cases there was permanent damage of both nerves. On the basis of a comprehensive literature survey the reasons for an intubation-induced Tapia's syndrome are discussed. In order to avoid a glottis or immediate subglottic position it is recommended to check and to document the position of the cuff (depth of intubation) and the measured cuff pressure immediately after intubation. It also seems to be advisable to document an overstretched head position if required for the operation.
AUSOM: Autonomic Service-Oriented Middleware for IoT-Based Systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) has been recognized as a key technology for operating IoT-based systems, by abstracting sensing and actuation capabilities of IoT resources via services or microservices. However, such systems being dynamic in nature, must be proactive in responding to changing circumstances, hence they need to be autonomic in nature. Therefore this requires the design and deployment of an autonomic serviceoriented middleware that can mediate interactions, and control sensing & actuation, within the IoT-based system. To that end, in this paper, we present our vision of an autonomic service-oriented middleware AUSOM (pronounced "awesome") for IoT based systems. The key features of AUSOM are: incorporation of the well-known MAPE-K loop (Monitor, Analyze, Plan, Act, using stored Knowledge) from autonomic computing for proactive adaptation, incorporation of a multilayered context model, and using contextual information to facilitate adaptation at the IoT device (sensor and actuator) layer. We present the architecture of AUSOM and also illustrate how it would function via a simple yet realistic example.
Delaying an Electromagnetic Pulse with a Reflective High-Integration Meta-Platform

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Delaying an electromagnetic (EM) wave pulse on a thin screen for a significant time before releasing it is highly desired in many applications, such as optical camouflage, information storage, and wave–matter interaction boosting. However, available approaches to achieve this goal either require thick and complex systems or suffer from low efficiencies and a short delay time. This paper proposes an ultra-thin meta-platform that can significantly delay an EM-wave pulse after reflection. Specifically, our meta-platform consists of three meta-surfaces integrated together, of which two are responsible for efficiently coupling incident EM-wave pulse into surface waves (SWs) and vice versa, and the third one supports SWs exhibiting significantly reduced group velocity. We employ theoretical model analyses, full-wave simulations, and microwave experiments to validate the proposed concept. Our experiments demonstrate a 13 ns delay of an EM pulse centered at 12.975 GHz, enabled by a λ/8-thick and 38-λ-long meta-device with an efficiency of 32% (or 70%) with (or without) material loss taken into account. A larger delay time can be enabled by devices with larger sizes considering that the SWs group velocity of our device can be further reduced via dispersion engineering. These findings establish a new road for delaying an EM-wave pulse with ultra-thin screens, which may lead to many promising applications in integration optics.
