Sustained Student Enrolments at a Historically White South African University: A case study of Rhodes University

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study sought to critically investigate factors that could explain Rhodes University's (RU's) ability to sustain and raise its student enrolment levels against overall declining national enrolment in tertiary institutions in South Africa--particularly with regard to historically black universities. The findings indicated that the choice of the institution was made mainly by the respondents themselves, based on their career preferences. Affordability and other financial considerations did not come out as a major factor in the ultimate choice of the institution by the respondents. However, accessibility to financial aid did appear to be a problem. RU's public image appeared to have had an influence on the students' choice of the institution. The quality of staff, institutional stability, teaching resources and other facilities, administrative efficiency, friendliness, admissions and course registration procedures and processes, and fairness in the allocation of facilities and other resources were all found to be contributory factors in enticing students to RU. The language of the institution was another strength of RU. However, RU's physical appearance, catering services and the institution's 'equal and fair treatment of students' remained problematic areas.
Token-Based Authentication Framework for 5G MEC Mobile Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

MEC technology provides a distributed computing environment in 5G mobile networks for application and service hosting. It allows customers with different requirements and professional competencies to use the services offered by external suppliers. We consider a service access control framework on 5G MEC networks that is efficient, flexible, and user-friendly. Its central element is the MEC Enabler, which handles AAA requests for stakeholders accessing services hosted on the edge servers. The JSON Web Token (JWT) open standard is a suitable tool for the MEC Enabler to manage access control credentials and transfer them securely between parties. In this paper, in the context of access control, we propose the token reference pattern called JSON MEC Access Token (JMAT) and analyze the effectiveness of its available protection methods in compliance with the standard requirements of MEC-hosted services in 5G networks.
[Effect of the interferon inducer RFf2 on the course of an infection due to the rabies virus in mice].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The data of the study on the influence of an interferon inducer, phage RFf2 RNA, on the course of infection with fixed rabies virus and on the formation of postvaccination immunity are presented. The inoculation of the inducer in a dose of 1 mg/kg was shown to produce interferon in the blood of white mice within 6 hours up to 320 units/ml which decreased by 24 hours to 20-40 units/ml. No protective effect, however, was observed upon intracerebral inoculation of white mice with fixed rabies virus, CVS strain. An increased dose of the inducer resulted in the development of a marked protective effect (50%) particularly after peripheral inoculation of the virus when the latter was administered simultaneously with the inducer. The use of the inducer in combination with various types of rabies vaccines (tissue culture inactivated, sheep brain inactivated, Fermi type vaccines) exerted no influence on the resistance of the animals to subsequent inoculation with the virus or on the formation of postvaccination immunity. At the same time, inoculation of the inducer alone, two weeks before challenge, protected 30% of the animals as compared with 100% mortality in the control group. Further studies on the influence of interferon on the course of the infectious process in rabies and formation of postvaccination immunity are required.
CODE MIXING USED IN WOMEN MAGAZINE: A SOCIOLINGUISTIC STUDY

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In modern era, mostly people use more than one language to communicate. Therefore, the phenomenon of bilingual or multilngual community is feature of code mixing and code switching. This study concerns of the code mixing used by journalist in women magazine of Nova. The data took from the Magazined which was published on March 12-18 th , 2012 . This study found types of code mixing and reasons of code mixing. The types of code mixing consist of lexical mixing, phrase mixing of code, and Indonesian speeling of English sounds. The last is reason why people mixed codes. The reasons are lexical need; it is when the Indonesian word not available such as film and the prestige, such as Talkshow although it is available in Indonesian language.
Populists and Regional Organizations: lessons from Bolsonaro’s Brazil

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract In this paper, we argue that a right-wing populist leader’s support of regional organizations depends on how domestic supporters are affected by populist engagement with them. If the regional organization does not affect groups of the populist project, then the leader enjoys latitude to question the regional institution. However, whenever undermining the regional organization damage a group, the leader does not target the regional organization, and assumes an ambivalent approach. We use the case of Bolsonaro’s Brazil engaging two regional organizations: MERCOSUR and PAHO to test our argument. Our findings reveal that right-wing populist leaders are aware of domestic costs.
Blood profile and balance study of rats given the putative anorectic agent satietin

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Satietin (SAT), a glycoprotein found in the plasma of a variety of animals, is a putative satiety agent. In experiments 1 and 2 rats received chronic third ventricle cannulas. At the start of the dark phase, in experiment 1, one group was infused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) and fed ad libitum (CON); a second group was infused with 100 micrograms/rat of human SAT and fed ad libitum in individual computerized pellet feeding modules; a third group was infused with aCSF and pair fed (PF) to the SAT-treated rats. The animals were killed 19.5 h later and blood was collected. Food and water intake and body weight were significantly, and comparably, reduced in the SAT-treated and PF group compared with the CON group. Plasma was assayed for a variety of nutrients, metabolites, enzymes, hormones, ions, and osmolality. Differential white cell counts were made. None of the above parameters differed significantly between the SAT and PF groups. Meal pattern analyses showed SAT treatment did not at any time alter meal size but significantly increased meal duration and intermeal interval during the first 6 h of the dark phase. In experiment 2 rats were placed in metabolic cages and infused with SAT or aCSF. Food and water intakes of the SAT group were suppressed for 1 day, whereas their body weights were significantly attenuated for 3 days. Urine volume and feces elimination were similar in the two groups over the 6-day measurement period. The normalcy of the data from experiment 1 is in accord with the possibility that SAT may act as a physiological satiety agent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Gestational route to healthy birth (GaRBH): protocol for an Indian prospective cohort study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction Pregnancy is characterised by a high rate of metabolic shifts from early to late phases of gestation in order to meet the raised physiological and metabolic needs. This change in levels of metabolites is influenced by gestational weight gain (GWG), which is an important characteristic of healthy pregnancy. Inadequate/excessive GWG has short-term and long-term implications on maternal and child health. Exploration of gestational metabolism is required for understanding the quantitative changes in metabolite levels during the course of pregnancy. Therefore, our aim is to study trimester-specific variation in levels of metabolites in relation to GWG and its influence on fetal growth and newborn anthropometric traits at birth. Methods and analysis A prospective longitudinal study is planned (start date: February 2018; end date: March 2023) on pregnant women that are being recruited in the first trimester and followed in subsequent trimesters and at the time of delivery (total 3 follow-ups). The study is being conducted in a hospital located in Bikaner district (66% rural population), Rajasthan, India. The estimated sample size is of 1000 mother-offspring pairs. Information on gynaecological and obstetric history, socioeconomic position, diet, physical activity, tobacco and alcohol consumption, depression, anthropometric measurements and blood samples is being collected for metabolic assays in each trimester using standardised methods. Mixed effects regression models will be used to assess the role of gestational weight in influencing metabolite levels in each trimester. The association of maternal levels of metabolites with fetal growth, offspring’s weight and body composition at birth will be investigated using regression modelling. Ethics and dissemination The study has been approved by the ethics committees of the Department of Anthropology, University of Delhi and Sardar Patel Medical College, Rajasthan. We are taking written informed consent after discussing the various aspects of the study with the participants in the local language.
Circulating Concentrations of Key Regulators of Nitric Oxide Production in Undernourished Sheep Carrying Single and Multiple Fetuses

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

The aim of this study was to investigate the blood concentrations of L-arginine, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), and L-homoarginine, which are regulators of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, in single, twin, and triplet pregnancies in ewes undergoing either a dietary energy restriction or receiving 100% of their energy requirements. From day 24 to 100 of pregnancy, the ewes were fed ryegrass hay and two different iso-proteic concentrates fulfilling either 100% of ewes’ energy requirements (control group; n = 30, 14 singleton pregnancies, 12 twin pregnancies, and 4 triplet pregnancies) or only 45% (feed-restricted group; n = 29; 11 singleton pregnancies, 15 twin pregnancies, and 3 triplet pregnancies). Blood samples were collected monthly to measure, by capillary electrophoresis, the circulating concentrations of arginine, ADMA, homoarginine, SDMA, and of other amino acids not involved in NO synthesis to rule out possible direct effects of diet restriction on their concentrations. No differences between groups were observed in the circulating concentrations of most of the amino acids investigated. L-homoarginine increased markedly in both groups during pregnancy (p < 0.001). SDMA (p < 0.01), L-arginine, and ADMA concentrations were higher in feed-restricted ewes than in controls. The L-arginine/ADMA ratio, an indicator of NO production by NOS, decreased towards term without differences between groups. The ADMA/SDMA ratio, an index of the ADMA degrading enzyme activity, was higher in controls than in feed-restricted ewes (p < 0.001). Obtained results show that circulating concentrations of L-arginine, of its metabolites, and the ratio between NO synthesis boosters and inhibitors are altered in energy-restricted ewes, and that these alterations are more marked in ewes carrying multiple fetuses.
Once called Albion

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This thesis considers late thirteenth and early fourteenth century insular history writing in the vernaculars in its multilingual, codicological, and historical contexts. It seeks to explicate the changes in insular historiography after the conquest of Wales and amidst the ongoing Scottish wars. The dominant mode of history writing during this period shifted: the texts examined in the thesis are 'derivative texts', complex assemblages of translations from numerous source texts, compiled and combined into unique, original works. Revising current notions of scribal competency, and arguing for a wider consideration of scribal authorship are fundamental aims of the thesis. By demonstrating the diverse and sophisticated textual lexicons of the authors of derivative texts, the thesis exposes vernacular historiographies as learned productions, written for learned audiences, engaged in intertextual dialogue with more 'authoritative' Latin historiography. Medieval translation is explored throughout, in an attempt to broaden an understanding of the term to include textual and ideological transposition, and overwrite 'compilation' as an acceptable description of these sophisticated and politically engaged texts. Chapter 1 examines the Anonymous Short English Metrical Chronicle as a derivative text, situating the work in its historical context of Edward I's appeals to historiography on the Scottish question at the end of the thirteenth century. Chapter 2 is a detailed study of the chronicles of Robert Mannyng and Pierre Langtoft, arguing for the sophistication of the texts, and complexifying previously monolithic ideas of ethnicity and 'Englishness' in the chronicles. Chapter 3 focuses on the Chronicle of Robert of Gloucester, providing a comprehensive introduction to the text, and offering readings of the ideological agenda of its derivative methodology. Chapter 4 investigates London, College of Arms, MS Arundel 58, a mid-fifteenth century manuscript of Robert of Gloucester's Chronicle with unique and substantive prose interpolations, considering the physical processes by which derivative texts were written.

[Burkholderia cepacia lipase gene modification and its constitutive and inducible expression in Pichia pastoris].

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

After overlap PCR modification, the lipase expression efficiency in Pichia was significantly increased, which indicates that the overlap PCR modification is a potential strategy for lipase overexpression. The GAP promoter is more appropriate than the AOX1 promoter for the B. cepacia lipase expression. Additionally, the recombinant lipase whose enzymatic properties were identical to the wild type satisfies the needs of industrial application.
Molecular characterization of ciprofloxacin resistant and/or beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli from the Vancouver Coastal Health region

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Emergent multidrug resistant Escherichia coli increase clinical challenges. This thesis describes the resistance patterns, molecular epidemiology and mechanisms, for 315 E. coli from patients in the Vancouver Coastal Health Region for 2006/2007. Automated susceptibility testing was confirmed via E-test® for AmpC and/or ESBL production. PFGE, RFLP and PCR were used to assess genotypic relationships, and plasmid character. AmpC production was facilitated mainly by promoter mutations (54.5%). The principal ESBL detected was CTX-M-15 (49.5%). An unidentified ESBL-producer, with a pI near 8.3, was detected. A plasmid displayed variant resistance phenotypes dependent on selective growth media. A positive correlation between ST131 with CTX-M-15 and CIPR indicated the dissemination of companion phenotypes. Ciprofloxacin resistance resulted mainly (98.0%) from a double gyrA mutation. Overall fluoroquinolone resistance was not assessable due to exclusive selection parameters in this evaluation. Fluoroquinolone resistance factors require further examination to understand what causes resistant phenotypes exclusive of chromosomal mutations. ii
Molecular Regulatory Networks for Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Rice

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Nitrogen is an important factor limiting the growth and yield of rice. However, the excessive application of nitrogen will lead to water eutrophication and economic costs. To create rice varieties with high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has always been an arduous task in rice breeding. The processes for improving NUE include nitrogen uptake, nitrogen transport from root to shoot, nitrogen assimilation, and nitrogen redistribution, with each step being indispensable to the improvement of NUE. Here, we summarize the effects of absorption, transport, and metabolism of nitrate, ammonium, and amino acids on NUE, as well as the role of hormones in improving rice NUE. Our discussion provide insight for further research in the future.
Further observations of the feeding ecology of postlarval pinfish, Lagodon rhomboides, and spot, Leiostomus xanthurus

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The effect of current on feeding, temporal variation in food consumption, and the effect of predator and prey size on food preferences were evaluated for postlarval stages of pinfish, Lagodon rhomboides, and spot, Leiostomus xanthurus. Field and laboratory observations indicated that pinfish feeding rates decreased as water current velocity increased. Similar behavior was noted in spot from field observations, but spot feeding rates in the laboratory were highest when a slight current was present. Mean gut contents of postlarvae collected at midday over a 2-mo period ranged from 0.4 to 38 copepods/fish. The mean coefficient of variation for the number of copepods per fish in a single midday sample (n = 20 fish) was 20 percent. Maximum daily feeding rates were estimated at 17 and 26 copepods/h for spot and pinfish, respectively. Field and laboratory data confirmed that as postlarval size increases the size of their prey also increases. Refined estimates of postlarval evacuation rates and daily rations also are presented. Daily ration estimates as a percent of the fish's wet body weight were 9 percent for both species. The ration estimates for both species were greater than metabolic needs estimated from oxygen consumption measurements.

Small and medium enterprises and the environment: barriers, drivers, innovation and best practice: A review of the literature

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Small and medium enterprises are the largest business sector in every economy in the world 1, and generate the majority (up to 60%) of global economic output2. In the Australian context, a small business or enterprise is one that employs up to 20 staff while a small and medium sized enterprise (an SME) is a business that employs up to 200 staff. By this definition, more than 99% of all actively trading businesses (more than 1.95 million enterprises) in Australia are SMEs3 . There is a growing body of research supporting the need for SMEs to become engaged in the adoption of environmental management practices. This is because SMEs are more 'pollution-intensive' than 'big business', with some estimates suggesting that the contribution of this sector to pollution may be as high as 60-70% of all pollution globally.
Deep Learning Aided Grant-Free NOMA Toward Reliable Low-Latency Access in Tactile Internet of Things

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Tactile Internet of Things (IoT) requires ultraresponsive and ultrareliable connections for massive IoT devices. As a promising enabler of tactile IoT, grant-free nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) exploits the joint benefit of grant-free access and nonorthogonal transmissions to achieve low latency massive access. However, it suffers from the reduced reliability caused by random interference. Hence, we formulate a variational optimization problem to improve the reliability of grant-free NOMA. Due to the intractability of this problem, we resort to deep learning by parameterizing the intractable variational function with a specially designed deep neural network, which incorporates random user activation and symbol spreading. The network is trained according to a novel multiloss function where a confidence penalty based on the user activation probability is considered. The spreading signatures are automatically generated while training, which matches the highly automatic applications in tactile IoT. The significant reliability gain of our scheme is validated by simulations.
