Congruence x employment tenure: A study with transitioning youth with disabilities

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study examined the relationship between congruence (between individual's inventoried career interests and subsequent job) and employment tenure for transitioning youth with disabilities successfully closed in fiscal year 2008 by the Maryland State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency (DORS) - Region 6 (N = 51). The relationship between employment tenure and demographic variables (gender, ethnicity, education level, disability type, social security benefits status, and length in services) is also assessed. Data was obtained from DORS database, wage checks reports and file reviews. This study did not find support for the relationship between employment tenure and either congruence or demographic variables. Related findings include high frequency of low congruent jobs, and the majority of jobs in janitorial and service areas, part time and with hourly wage between $5.00 and $10.00.

Performance Analysis of Hybrid Protocol Based AF EH Relaying over Asymmetric Fading Channels

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer is a practicable solution to encourage energy-constrained relay nodes to cooperate with the source to transmit information to the destination. In this paper, we study the outage performance of hybrid protocol based amplify-and-forward (AF) relay networks over asymmetric fading channels, where the source-relay link and the relay-destination link are subjected to Rician fading and Rayleigh fading, respectively. In particular, we derive the lower bound of outage probability and the upper bound of outage capacity based on a high signal-to-noise ratio approximation, respectively. We further investigate the effects of various system parameters, such as the parameters of hybrid protocol, the target rate, and the Rician K-factor, on the investigated network. It is shown that a good selection of parameters of hybrid protocol is of significance to improve system capacity, and that a larger Rician factor is desirable in the investigated network.
NONINVASIVE MONITORING OF CCl4 INDUCED ACUTE AND CHRONIC LIVER DAMAGE IN RAT BY SINGLE QUANTUM AND TRIPLE QUANTUM FILTERED 23Na MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In present study, single quantum (SQ) and triple quantum filtered (TQF) 23Na magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to monitor the severity and progression of CCl4 induced acute and chronic liver damage in rat model. SQ 23Na MRI was proposed to measure the 23Na signal intensity (SI) of total tissue sodium ions, and TQF 23Na MRI was proposed to measure the SI of intracellular sodium ions. In addition, shift reagent aided 23Na and 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was used to measure in vivo intracellular sodium concentration ([Na+i]), total tissue sodium concentration ([Na+t]) and relative extracellular space (rECS) of liver in the same model. In acute high dose CCl4 intoxication, 24 hours after single dose of CCl4 in 5ml per kg body weight of mixture of CCl4 and oil in 1:1 ratio, SQ 23Na SI increased by 83% and TQF 23Na SI increased by 174% compared to the baseline level. According to SR-aided 23Na and 31P MRS, [Na+i] increased by 188% and [Na+t] increased by 43%. In addition, there was significant decrease in cellular energetic level, represented by ATP/Pi ratio. Histology examination showed pronounced inflammatory response in centrilobular regions, with neutrophiles infiltration, fatty accumulation and swollen hepatocytes. In chronic 8-week experiment, chronic damage was induced by biweekly administration of CCl4 in a dosage of 0.5 ml per kg body weight. From week 1 to week 6, SQ 23Na SI remained relatively constant, and then increased by 15% from week 6 to week 8. TQF 23Na SI progressively increased from week 1 to week 8, totally by 56%. Both SQ and TQF 23Na SI showed significant difference between treated group and control at every week. SR-aided 23Na and 31P MRS experiment showed that, at the end of 8-week CCl4 intoxication, both [Na+t] and rECS were higher than control, by 49% and 47% respectively; however, there was no significant difference for [Na+i] between two groups. Histology examination showed excessive deposition of extracellular matrix. In conclusion, SQ and TQF 23Na MRI appears valuable in the functional assessment of liver in noninvasive approach, and could be a promising diagnostic modality for liver diseases in clinical area.
Tuberculosis-Spoligo-Rifampin-Isoniazid Typing: an All-in-One Assay Technique for Surveillance and Control of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis on Luminex Devices

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT As a follow-up of the “spoligoriftyping” development, we present here an extension of this technique which includes the detection of isoniazid resistance-associated mutations in a new 59-plex assay, i.e., tuberculosis-spoligo-rifampin-isoniazid typing (TB-SPRINT), running on microbead-based multiplexed systems. This assay improves the synergy between clinical microbiology and epidemiology by providing (i) mutation-based prediction of drug resistance profiles for patient treatment and (ii) genotyping data for tuberculosis (TB) surveillance. This third-generation microbead-based high-throughput assay for TB runs on the Luminex 200 system and on the recently launched MagPix system (Luminex, Austin, TX). Spoligotyping patterns obtained by the TB-SPRINT method were 100% ( n = 85 isolates; 3,655/3,655 spoligotype data points) concordant with those obtained by microbead-based and membrane-based spoligotyping. Genetic drug susceptibility typing provided by the TB-SPRINT method was 100% concordant with resistance locus sequencing ( n = 162 for rpoB gene sequencing and n = 76 for katG and inhA sequencing). Considering phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) as the reference method, the sensitivity and specificity of TB-SPRINT regarding Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex ( n = 162 isolates) rifampin resistance were both 100%, and those for isoniazid resistance were 90.4% (95% confidence interval, 85 to 95%) and 100%, respectively. Used routinely in national TB reference and specialized laboratories, the TB-SPRINT assay should simultaneously improve personalized medicine and epidemiological surveillance of multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB. This assay is expected to play an emerging role in public health in countries with heavy burdens of MDR TB and/or HIV/TB coinfection. Application of this assay directly to biological samples, as well as development for extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB detection by inclusion of second-line antituberculosis drug-associated mutations, is under development. With bioinformatical methods and data mining to reduce the number of targets to the most informative ones, locally adapted formats of this technique can easily be developed everywhere.
PECULIARITIES AND PROBLEMS OF THE APPLICATION OF COUNTERPART SECURITY IN THE CONSIDERATION OF APPLICATIONS FOR THE ARREST OF A SEAGOING VESSEL FOR SECURING A CLAIM IN CIVIL PROCEEDINGS

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities and problems of the application of Counterpart security in the consideration of applications for the arrest of a seagoing vessel for securing a claim in civil proceedings.The practice of local courts is analyzed in the context of observance of the basic principles of civil justice and the provisions of the International Convention Relating to the Arrest of Sea-Going Ships dated 1952, May 10, identified the problems of the use of counterpart security in the consideration of relevant applications, formulated conclusions and recommendations for improvement of procedural law, and the practical application of the rules governing securing a claim by arresting a ship.In connection with the changes that were made to the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine, it was supplemented by the rules on counterclaim in the event of the court taking measures to secure a claim on the claimant’s claim in the case. The issue of securing a claim by way of arrest of a ship was also settled in more detail.The case-law analysis shows that there is no uniform approach to the use of counterpart security when considering applications for securing a claim by arresting a ship. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the peculiarities of the use of counterpart security when taking measures to secure a claim in the form of arrest of a ship to secure a maritime claim and to reflect them in the relevant procedural legislation.The purpose of the article is to analyze the rules of civil procedural law governing the counterpart security in the context of its application in the event of a ship arrest, analysis of local courts in the context of compliance with the basic principles of civil justice and the provisions of the International Convention Relating to the Arrest of Sea-Going Ships dated 1952, May 10, the identification of problems with the use of counterpart security in the hearings of relevant applications, formulation of conclusions and recommendations on the improvement of civil procedural law, and practical application of the rules governing the securing of a claim by arrest of a seagoing vessel.
A summary of the mineral resources of the proposed Great Bear wilderness, Flathead, Teton, and Pondera counties, Montana

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The proposed Great Bear wilderness has a good potential for oil and gas (mainly gas), and a moderate potential for submarginal resources of copper and silver in a belt 25 miles (40 km) long and about 1 mile (1.6 km) wide that is partly within the study area along the western boundary. The eastern part of the area may contain small submarginal resources of coal. Sand and gravel, dimension stone, and high calcium limestone are in the area, but they occur in abundance in more accessible areas elsewhere in northwest Montana. The potential for geothermal resources is nil.A mineral survey of the proposed Great Bear wilderness was made in 1974 and 1976. The work by the U.S. Geological Survey consisted of geologic mapping, and geochemical and geophysical surveys. The U.S. Bureau of Mines made a courthouse search for mining claims, and sampled and mapped prospects.
Co-creation and living lab methodologies in the development of digital health interventions for lifestyle modification in patients with chronic diseases [Web of Science].

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract The increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is placing a significant burden on healthcare systems. Scalable digital health interventions (DHIs) have the potential to enhance rehabilitation services and post-rehabilitation care, particularly in the face of challenges posed by the growing population with NCDs and a shortage of health care professionals. The application of co-creation techniques in the development of digital health products allow them to be tailor-made for the end users. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of living labs. These place the user at the centre of the design process, involve different stakeholders, promote co-creation, combine different methodologies and operate in real-life settings. Therefore, we aim to provide an overview of different co-creation and living lab methodologies used in DHIs development by summarising current evidence.
Design of irrigation canals with minimum overall cost using particle swarm optimization – case study: El-Sheikh Gaber canal, north Sinai Peninsula, Egypt

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Nowadays, the scarcity of freshwater sources, climate change and the deterioration of freshwater quality have a great impact on the lives of human beings. As such, improving the design of irrigation canals will reduce water losses through evaporation and seepage. In this paper, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to determine the optimum design of irrigation canals' cross-sections with the objective to minimize the overall costs. The overall costs include the costs of earthwork, lining, and water loss by both seepage and evaporation. The velocity constraints for sedimentation and erosion have been taken into consideration in the proposed design method. The proposed PSO is compared with both the Probabilistic Global Search Lausanne (PGSL) and classical optimization methods to verify its usefulness in optimal design of canals' cross-sections. The proposed PSO is then used to design El-Sheikh Gaber canal, north Sinai Peninsula, Egypt and the obtained dimensions are compared with the existing canal dimensions. To facilitate the use of the developed model, optimal design graphs are presented. The results show that the reduction of overall cost ranged from 28 to 41% and consequently, the proposed PSO algorithm can be reliably used for the design of irrigation open canals without going through the conventional and cumbersome trial and error methods.
Faculty Opinions recommendation of Granulocytes govern the transcriptional response, morphology and proliferation of Candida albicans in human blood.

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Survival in blood and escape from blood vessels into tissues are essential steps for the yeast Candida albicans to cause systemic infections. To elucidate the influence of blood components on fungal growth, morphology and transcript profile during bloodstream infections, we exposed C. albicans to blood, blood fractions enriched in erythrocytes, polymorphonuclear or mononuclear leukocytes, blood depleted of neutrophils and plasma. C. albicans cells exposed to erythrocytes, mononuclear cells, plasma or blood lacking neutrophils were physiologically active and rapidly switched to filamentous growth. In contrast, the presence of neutrophils arrested C. albicans growth, enhanced the fungal response to overcome nitrogen and carbohydrate starvation, and induced the expression of a large number of genes involved in the oxidative stress response. In particular, SOD5, encoding a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored superoxide dismutase localized on the cell surface of C. albicans, was strongly expressed in yeast cells that were associated with neutrophils. Mutants lacking key genes involved in oxidative stress, morphology or virulence had significantly reduced survival rates in blood and the neutrophil fraction, but remained viable for at least 1 h of incubation when exposed to erythrocytes, mononuclear cells, plasma or blood lacking neutrophils. These data suggest that C. albicans genes expressed in blood were predominantly induced in response to neutrophils, and that neutrophils play a key role during C. albicans bloodstream infections. However, C. albicans is equipped with several genes and transcriptional programmes, which may help the fungus to counteract the attack of neutrophils, to escape from the bloodstream and to cause systemic infections.

The role of an evolved novel splicing regulatory G tract in diversification of protein functions

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

Alternative pre-mRNA splicing greatly contributes to the mammalian proteomic diversity. The novel splice variants often emerge through splicing regulation at/nearby the splice sites (SS). A large group of 3′SS in human genes contain REPA (regulatory elements between the Py and 3′AG) G tracts that mostly appear in mammals as splicing silencers. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms and functional consequences remain unknown. We have identified a novel class of REPA G tracts (G)5-8 in a group of human genes including PRMT5 (protein arginine methyl transferase 5) that are significantly enriched in functional clusters of cell growth and proliferation. The PRMT5 G tracts emerged evolutionarily in mammals and repress splicing through recruitment of mainly hnRNP H that interferes with early spliceosome assembly. The splicing repression creates a shorter PRMT5 isoform (PRMT5S) that inhibits cell cycle progression contrary to the role of the full length protein (PRMT5L). Moreover, the expression of a group of genes involved in cell cycle arrest at interphase is preferentially regulated by PRMT5S. We further showed that PRMT5S is differentially expressed among cell and tissue types suggesting tissue-specific regulation. It exhibits distinct subcellular localization pattern from that of PRMT5L and opposite effects on cell cycle-specific structural dynamics of the Golgi apparatus. Moreover, these splice variants are differentially expressed during cell differentiation and PRMT5S promotes the differentiation of dendritic cells whereas PRMT5L shows the opposite effect. The expression of a large number of genes including those involved in crucial cellular processes such as differentiation and apoptosis is regulated by these splice variants of PRMT5. This study provides a direct link between the evolutionary emergence of a novel splicing regulatory G tract element and the generation of a functionally distinct protein isoform. The molecular mechanism underlying the splicing regulation by this G tract is likely common to many mammalian genes and the generation of their protein diversity.

Examination of the Potential for Time Domain Electromagnetic Method for Monitoring Infiltration and Recharge in Arid Areas

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. Recharge flux is one of the most difficult components of the water balance to measure. However, quantitative estimates of this flux are critical for water resource planning in semi-arid and arid areas. Geophysical methods that can be operated from the ground surface offer significant advantages for recharge monitoring. Specifically, because they do not require boreholes, they are typically inexpensive and can be used to monitor over large areas. Electrical and electro-magnetic geophysical methods may be useful for monitoring recharge because of the dependence of both the electrical conductivity and the dielectric permittivity on the volumetric water content of a porous medium. However, it is unclear whether the pattern of water content change that occurs during recharge can be inferred, uniquely, from all geophysical responses. In this study, we examine the suitability of time domain electromagnetic (TEM) methods for monitoring infiltration into an initially dry soil. This preliminary examination is conducted as a sensitivity analysis in which we vary the porosity (P), initial water content (Wci) and the hydraulic conductivity (K) of the medium and calculate the TEM response with time during an infiltration event. Infil-tration into a dry medium causes a large, localized change in the water content, making these conditions most conducive to recharge moni-toring with geophysical methods. We consider this study to be a first-level examination of the potential for recharge monitoring with TEM.
Employee discretion—The mother of all discretions

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The legal order is not the biological system and cannot be self-sustained; we must rely mainly on officials who sustain it. The paper gives the basic descriptive elements of employee discretion and shows its modus operandi in public institutions. Employee discretion as the mixture of care, generalisation and legal protection is one of the legal state’s cornerstones and represents the constant source of order to sustain the latter’s structure and the quality of (each) government. With the understanding of behaviour of complex adaptive systems, employee discretion can be more fully described, while for its better prediction, digital-era governance is needed in connection with co-production. The paper gives through the elaboration of employee discretion the additional argument for the importance of co-production and based on that gives future paths also for legal science.
