The 2020 Judicial Attitude Survey Reveals the Views of Employment Judges

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Do British Employment Judges consider that they are paid a reasonable salary for the work that they do? Would they leave the judiciary if it was a viable option? Does their job give them a sense of achievement? Answers to these, and other questions, are revealed in a new survey that enables comparison over time and comparison with other categories of judicial postholders. Importantly, the 2020 Judicial Attitude survey1 shows that Employment Judges were less satisfied than most other judicial postholders in respect of their career opportunities and the standard of IT equipment in court. Yet the survey also shows the Employment Judges’ views were very similar to those of other judicial postholders in that they had a high level of satisfaction with the challenge of their job. As to salary, although the proportion of Employment Judges dissatisfied with their salary had decreased over the last four years,...
Construction of Prokaryotic Plasmid of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Heat Shock Protein 70 and Characterizing Its Antitumor Role

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

Objective To construct recombinant prokaryotic plasmid DNA encoding mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) - Dnak gene obtained from pMT70, then purify its characterizes and the role of rHSP70 in tumor therapy. Methods Amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and with terminal modification, the Dnak gene was cloned into the vector with T7 promoter and was confirmed by restriction endonuclease digestion. So a new plasmid pMT70 - 3 was constructed and transformed in E. Coli. Strain BL21DE3. The engineering bacteria were induced by IPTG. Western-blot,natine-page and scanning were used to analyze the results. The human HSP70 were induced with peptides of lymphocytic leukemia cells of L1210 of mice in binding buffer which contain MgCl2 and ADP at 37 ℃ , then mice were given rHSP70 peptide - complex by SV injection twice at weekly intervals. Results The Dnak gene could be highly expressed in E. Coli as soluble protein. The expressing efficiency was 65% of the total cell protein and the soluble protein was 90% of the expressed protein. The rHSP70 - peptide complex could improve the immune protective function which had significant difference compared with controls (P0.05). Conclusions The prokaryotic plasmid DNA encoding Dnak gene has been constructed successfully. The human TB HSP70 can induce intensity immunifaction as immunoadjuvant and its role in the therapy for tumor is explored that rHSP70 - peptide complex can produce immune protective effects against the same type tumor attacking.
Absenteeism

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Absenteeism negatively impacts sick leave benefits, staff hours, overtime pay, salary losses, productivity, employee moral, continuity, and quality of patient care. This paper describes findings from a large study that was conducted for the purpose of identifying variables contributing to absenteeism. Variables identified by the study included child care problems, conflict between the parent and employee roles, staffing and scheduling difficulties, and attitudes toward sick leave. While valuable information was identified by the study, the findings raised some serious questions about productivity, staff attitudes, and work ethics.
Gut Bacterial Flora of Open Nested Honeybee, Apis florea

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Honeybees are eusocial insects with close interaction with their surrounding environment. Gut microbiota in honeybees play a significant role in host health, biology, and interaction behavior with the surrounding environment. Apis florea , a wild bee, is the most primitive among all honeybees and is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. Previous reports on reared honeybee species provide information on the gut microbiome. No such studies are reported on the gut microbiota of the wild honeybee species. This study aimed at studying the gut microbiome of the wild honeybee species, A. florea . The study reports the analysis and the identification of gut bacteria in the wild honeybee species, A. florea , employing culture-based and culture-independent methods. Cultured bacteria were identified and characterized by MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rRNA sequencing. A comprehensive analysis and identification of non-culturable bacteria were performed by 16S rRNA amplicon next-generation sequencing. This approach splits gut bacteria into four bacterial phyla, four families, and 10 genera in major. The dominant taxa identified in A. florea belonged to the family Enterobacteriaceae (79.47%), Lactobacillaceae (12.75%), Oxalobacteraceae (7.45%), and Nocardiaceae (0.13%). The prevailing bacteria belonged to Enterobacter, Lactobacillus, Escherichia-Shigella, Massilia, Klebsiella, Citrobacter, Pantoea, Serratia, Rhodococcus , and Morganella genera, belonging to phyla Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes. This study observed the occurrence of a few bacteria that are not previously reported for their occurrence in other species of the Apis genus, making this investigation highly relevant with regard to the bee microbiome.
The Impact Of E-Wallet And Social Media Adoption On The Financial Performance Of Culinary Msmes In Indonesia Post-Covid-19 Pandemic

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced culinary MSMEs in Indonesia to accelerate the adoption of digital technology, especially e-wallets and social media, in order to survive and adapt to changes in consumer behavior. However, the continued impact of this adoption on financial performance in the post-pandemic era still needs to be further researched. This study aims to analyze the partial influence of e-wallet adoption, the partial influence of social media adoption, and the synergistic influence of both on the financial performance of culinary MSMEs in post-pandemic Indonesia. This quantitative research uses an online questionnaire of 425 culinary MSME actors selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis to test the relationships between variables. The results of the study prove that the adoption of e-wallets and social media individually has a positive and significant effect on financial performance. The most important finding revealed that the synergy of the two technologies had a greater impact, being able to explain 58.9% variation in improving financial performance through the creation of an integrated digital ecosystem. This study concludes that the adoption of e-wallets and social media does not only contribute individually, but most importantly the synergy between the two in creating a digital ecosystem that is able to transform business operations and marketing of culinary MSMEs, which ultimately leads to sustainable financial performance improvements post-pandemic. The practical implications emphasize the need for an integrated strategic approach in the adoption of digital technologies.
Relationship between the antitussic and analgesic activity of substances.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The authors studied relationship between the antitussic and analgesic activity of substances. The antitussic effect of codeine, tilidine, tramadol and pentazocine has been studied in nonanesthetized healthy cats. The drugs except tilidine, were administered intraperitoneally in a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight. Tilidine was administered intramuscularly in the same dose. Cough induced in nonanesthetized cats by mechanical irritation of laryngopharyngeal and tracheobronchial areas was evaluated by changes of the lateral tracheal pressure. A significant decrease of the subsequent cough parameters was observed after the application of codeine, tilidine, tramadol and pentazocine. Naloxone given 5 min before the application of the drug has not prevented the cough-suppressing effect due to codeine. Naloxone alone administered in a dose of 1 mg/kg body weight has not significantly influenced the experimentally-induced cough reflex in nonanesthetized cats.
A study of Japanese children's magazines 1888-1949

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Although much research has been conducted in Japanese on the history of children's literature from the 1880s to the present day, and some scholarship on Japanese literature in English has touched on children's literature, there is currently no scholarship devoted solely to the study of children's magazines in Japan. This dissertation offers to the fields of Japanese literature and children's studies the important narrative of children's magazines. The creation of a literary genre specifically for children in the 1880s was intimately connected with changing conceptions of gender, literature, the state, and childhood. This dissertation pays special attention to the utilization of children's literature for the purpose of nation building and gaining children's support for the war effort. In addition to outlining a previously unrecorded history, this dissertation addresses key questions such as: who was writing for children and why; what role did the state play in the publication of literature for children; how was censorship enforced and how did authors and publishers react to the censorship regulations; how are concepts of femininity related to concepts of children; how did Western ideas and modern technology affect the development of literature for children; and to what extent was the nation being commodified by magazines versus the magazines being used as a commodity to support the nation? To address these issues, I have relied heavily on both Japanese and English secondary materials as well as some primary literature. I have included in Appendix B three translations of the Momotarō folktale to provide a concrete example of how children's literary trends and content changed between 1888 and 1949. I chose these dates because 1888 represents the publication of the first children's magazine, Children's Garden (Shōnen-en), and 1949 was the year that the Allied Occupation lifted censorship on all Japanese printed press, although censorship continued in the hands of the Japanese government.
Economic and Environmental Sustainability of Farms from Three Different Brazilian Regions

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Using the technique of "panels" farms were drawn as representatives from three regions of Brazil: the first was a medium size farm representing the grain production area of Northern Rio Grande do Sul State; the second, a large farm from the grain and livestock production area of Mato Grosso State; the third, a very large farm from the Amazonian livestock production area of Para State. The long-term cost of production was estimated and the yearly average net income was evaluated for each typical farm. An "energy" evaluation table, prepared according to procedures described by Odum (1996), was used to estimate each farm process of incorporating energy into its production as a way to evaluate the sustainability of the farms systems. A four quadrant reference system, based on the average measurements for each vector - environmental accounting and net farm income - allowed the plotting of the three farms on the designed quadrants. The null hypothesis indicates that sustainable farms must be plotted on the southwest and on the northeast quadrants. The presence of farms on either of the two non-expected quadrants, the northwest and the southeast, poses long term problems of sustainability and indicates that new development policies are required.

The effect of paracetamol on human Chang liver cells infected by different dengue serotypes based on liver enzyme activity

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Background: Paracetamol (PCM) is an effective analgesic and antipyretic when used in recommended doses. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended PCM as a first line antipyretic in many conditions including dengue fever (DF) or dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Liver is one of the major organs affected in dengue infection. As PCM is metabolized in the liver, prescription of PCM in dengue infection may result in further deterioration of liver dysfunction. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of PCM together with different dengue serotypes in Human Chang liver cells based on the liver enzyme activity. Methods: The MTT assay was first used to determine the 50% cytotoxicity (IC50) of PCM on Human Chang liver cells before investigating the effect of PCM on the cells infected with dengue viruses. Human Chang liver cells were then incubated with the four dengue serotypes followed by adding the predetermined level of IC50 of PCM for 24 hours. Healthy cells (non-infected and non-treated) was used as a control. The level of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alpha Glutathione-S-transferase 1 (GSTA1) were determined in the incubation mixture. Results: In the order of increasing AST cytotoxicity level, DENV-4 (23.5%), DENV-1 (37%), DENV-3 (44%) and DENV-2 (50%) was documented. For the non-infected cells (PCM alone), the AST level was 12%. Findings showed no significant difference in AST levels in infected cells as compared to control except for DENV-2 (<0.05) and DENV-3 (<0.05). There has been no significant difference in AST level when compared between the four serotypes. For GSTA1, the study showed no significant difference in levels of the four serotypes with 0.66 ug/ml (DENV-1), 0.64 ug/ml (DENV-2), 0.64 ug/ml (DENV-3), 0.70 ug/ml (DENV-4) and 0.76 ug/ml (non-infected) as compared to control with 1.88ug/ml. Conclusion: There are four dengue serotypes which infect the liver cells and elevates AST, the differences in the percentage of elevation between serotypes is not significant. GSTA1 is not a suitable marker for liver cytotoxicity in dengue infection as compared to AST in our study as AST is found to be more specific.

ESTIMATING ORIGIN-DESTINATION MATRICES USING AN EFFICIENT MOTH FLAME-BASED SPATIAL CLUSTERING APPROACH

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. Automated fare collection (AFC) systems are regarded as valuable resources for public transport planners. In this paper, the AFC data are utilized to analysis and extract mobility patterns in a public transportation system. For this purpose, the smart card data are inserted into a proposed metaheuristic-based aggregation model and then converted to O-D matrix between stops, since the size of O-D matrices makes it difficult to reproduce the measured passenger flows precisely. The proposed strategy is applied to a case study from Haaglanden, Netherlands. In this research, moth-flame optimizer (MFO) is utilized and evaluated for the first time as a new metaheuristic algorithm (MA) in estimating transit origin-destination matrices. The MFO is a novel, efficient swarm-based MA inspired from the celestial navigation of moth insects in nature. To investigate the capabilities of the proposed MFO-based approach, it is compared to methods that utilize the K-means algorithm, gray wolf optimization algorithm (GWO) and genetic algorithm (GA). The sum of the intra-cluster distances and computational time of operations are considered as the evaluation criteria to assess the efficacy of the optimizers. The optimality of solutions of different algorithms is measured in detail. The traveler's behavior is analyzed to achieve to a smooth and optimized transport system. The results reveal that the proposed MFO-based aggregation strategy can outperform other evaluated approaches in terms of convergence tendency and optimality of the results. The results show that it can be utilized as an efficient approach to estimating the transit O-D matrices.

Effect of Nitrogen and Phosphorus on the Amino Acids in Root Exudates and Grains of Rice during Grain Filling

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) play important roles in regulating plant growth and development.The purpose of this study was to investigate how N and P nutrients affect amino acids in the root exudates and grains of rice using two rice cultivars,Yangdao 6 (indica) and Yangjing 9538 (japonica),with five treatments,0N (without N),1/2N (1/2 N of the standard Espino nutrition solution),0P (without P),1/2P (1/2 P of the standard Espino nutrition solution),and CK (standard Espino nutrition solution) during the grain filling period.The concentrations and components of amino acids in root exudates and grains were measured,and their relations were analyzed.The results showed that the concentration of each amino acid in root exudates decreased gradually with the process in grain-filling.Nitrogen stress (0N) during grain filling significantly reduced concentrations of the each amino acid in root exudates and grains.Phosphorus stress (0P) significantly increased concentrations of acidic and neutral amino acids in root exudates,whereas significantly reduced the contents of total amino acids,essential amino acids,and other amino acids in grains.The concentrations of amino acids in root exudates were significantly and negatively correlated with the relative content of amino acids in grains,and the concentration of alkali amino acids in root exudates was significantly and negatively correlated with 1000-grain weight.The results suggest that the concentration and components of amino acids in root exudates are closely associated with those in grains and with grain weight.N and P nutrients play a role in regulating the concentrations/contents and components of amino acids in roots and grains,and by which influence grain yield and nutrient quality of rice.
Adolescent Obesity and Associated Cardiovascular Risk Factors of Rural and Urban Life (Eskisehir, Turkey)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Risk factors may differ in the adolescents from rural and urban areas. It is important in overweight and obese children to assess the family history of cardiovascular disease, blood pressure and blood glucose, to ask about the habit of regularly breakfasting, and to evaluate time spent on computer/TV. As in urban areas, environmental regulations also become important in rural areas. Appropriate social activities for children to spent more time outdoor, e.g. in parks or playgrounds, are important in urban as well as in rural areas.
Mexican film festivals and industry development : Guanajuato, Guadalajara, and Morelia, and the reemergence of a national film industry

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The Mexican film industry has experienced substantial ups and downs in terms of how many films national filmmakers have produced annually, as well as whether or not these films have reached audiences at home or abroad. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, production and exhibition numbers were at some of the lowest levels the nation had ever known. By 2014, national production was not only recovering but reaching levels on par with the Mexican Golden Age of cinema of the 1950s. In the context of other factors, this project’s primary inquiry explores the rise of three leading Mexican film festivals and the creation of initiatives, through these festivals, aimed at bolstering national film production in the early 21st century. The festivals are, in order of founding, the Guadalajara International Film Festival (FICG), the Guanajuato International Film Festival (GIFF), and the Morelia International Film Festival (FICM). Stepping outside their traditional role of exhibiting completed films, and following other film industry leaders including Sundance, Cannes, Berlin, and Rotterdam, by 2005, each of these festivals had launched events dedicated to supporting films in development or preproduction. The history and reputation of the film festivals provides the background to an analysis of the role of such events or initiatives and their impact on national film production. The research conducted and analyzed for the project included interviews with festival directors, initiative coordinators, filmmakers, and government representatives, all of whom were invested in a particular outcome for Mexican cinema: increased national production and international coproduction. This project concludes that their efforts were most effective in the area of addressing a particular weakness that the Mexican film industry was suffering from: in the late 1990s, a shortage of trained, professional, producers with the capacity to helm viable film projects meant that few films could be made per year. In coordination with other invested partners, the festivals sought to address this weakness by focusing their initiatives on networking and capacity-building for producers, and early results indicate that FICG, GIFF, FICM have achieved such benchmarks. This project’s inquiries bridge contemporary media industry studies, Mexican film history, and film festival studies, the intersection of which provides for significant contributions to each field and together illustrate the need for more in-depth research and analysis in these areas. For this study, the focus is on how their festival initiatives have shaped the field of film production within the Mexican national cinematic landscape, and represents the first systematic study of this new development not only in Mexican film, but beyond.
