Assessment of genetic variation for growth and economic traits among the genotypes of tomato [Solanum lycopersicum (Mill.) Wettsd.]

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The present study was conducted with the objective to assess the extent of variability among the genotypes of tomato. The experimental material comprising forty six genotypes were evaluated during Rabi season of 2014-15. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications and observations were recorded on yield and quality attributes. The analysis of variance revealed that wide ranges of variation were found among the genotypes for all the traits. The estimates of phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV) were higher than genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV) for all the characters. The estimates of high PCV as well as GCV were observed for number of locules per fruit (25.27 and 24.42) and plant height (21.12 and 20.66), while the high PCV (20.33) was noted for Pericarp thickness. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance in percent of mean was estimated for plant height (95.69 and 41.64), number of locules per fruit (78.67 and 40.96), primary branches per plant (80.67 and 29.73), number of fruits per plant (89.51 and 23.50) and fruit circumference (82.37 and 22.63), which showed ample scope of improvement in these traits through selection.
Veterinary technicians contribute to shared decision-making during companion animal veterinary appointments

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Abstract OBJECTIVE To describe and compare veterinary professionals’ use of shared decision-making during companion animal appointments. DESIGN Multi-practice cross-sectional study. SAMPLE A purposive sample of 4 companion animal veterinary clinics in a group practice in Texas. PROCEDURES A convenience sample of veterinary appointments were recorded January to March 2018 and audio-recordings were analyzed using the Observer OPTION 5 instrument to assess shared decision-making. Each decision was categorized by veterinary professional involvement. RESULTS A total of 76/85 (89%) appointments included at least 1 decision between the client and veterinary professional(s), with a total of 129 shared decisions. Decisions that involved both a veterinary technician and veterinarian scored significantly higher for elements of shared decision-making (OPTION 5 = 29.5 ± 8.4; n = 46), than veterinarian-only decisions (OPTION 5 = 25.4 ± 11.50; P = .040; n = 63), and veterinary technician-only decisions (OPTION 5 = 22.5 ± 7.15; P = .001; n = 20). Specific elements of shared decision-making that differed significantly based on veterinary professional involvement included educating the client about options (OPTION 5 Item 3; P = .0041) and integrating the client’s preference (OPTION 5 Item 5; P = .0010). CLINICAL RELEVANCE Findings suggest that clients are more involved in decision making related to their pet’s health care when both the veterinary technician and veterinarian communicate with the client. Veterinary technicians’ communication significantly enhanced client engagement in decision-making when working collaboratively with the veterinarian.
Selective deamidation by tissue transglutaminase strongly enhances gliadin-specific T cell reactivity.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Celiac disease (CD) is caused by gluten ingestion in susceptible individuals. Tissue transglutaminase (tTG)-specific Abs are characteristic of CD, and increased tTG activity has been observed in the jejunal biopsies of patients. Here we demonstrate that tTG selectively deamidates gluten peptides, which results in strongly enhanced T cell-stimulatory activity. To our knowledge, this is the first example of an enzymatic modification of a food protein that affects T cell recognition. Moreover, these modifications may lead to the amplification of gluten-specific T cell responses in the gut and consequently may be important for the development of CD.
Zambia: a church where Brothers are not brothers.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

George grew up with no family and attended a Catholic Mission High School in Zaire. He joined an order of Brothers in Kabwe in the Copperbelt of Zambia. In December, 1992, the order required him to undergo an HIV test. In February, 1993, when on holiday, he received a letter' from a superior informing him that he was HIV positive. The superior wrote that George was no longer an acceptable and worthy person to spread God's word, and that he was expelled from the order. Yet, he had behaved well at the order and at the school. The expulsion left George with no food, shelter, money, or job. He was all alone. He had had his first and only sexual encounter at age 22, which was with an older female friend. He had had no more sexual relationships. This brief sexual encounter led to his contracting HIV. The Church's rejection of George is a loss for the Church because this good man could have educated people about HIV and helped reduce the stigma of HIV/AIDS through the Church. The center where he went in Lusaka has also counseled 36 nuns and 11 priests. Most report that superiors had coerced them to be tested for HIV. When they came to the center, they were emotionally unprepared to deal with a positive test. Some did not know that their blood was being tested for HIV and the results would go directly to their superiors. The superiors provided economic reasons to justify the HIV testing. The center concluded that no one should be coerced to undergo HIV testing pre and post test counseling should be provided, HIV test results must be confidential between the counselor and the patient, churches should be in the forefront of reducing the stigma linked to HIV/AIDS while exhibiting love and compassion, and HIV- positive religious leaders are not liabilities but can offer up to 10 years of valuable service.
Development and analysis of drone impacting into a human

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This study is to develop and analyse the crash seriousness between UAVs and humans. A generalised fixed-wing drone was created using SolidWorks. The impact forces and the crash seriousness were computed by utilising the explicit dynamic simulation on ABAQUS. In this study, 3 materials, Aluminium, Carbon Fibre, and Expanded Polypropylene (EPP), were assigned to the fixed Maximum Take-Off Mass (MTOM) values of 0.25 kg, 0.5 kg, 1.5 kg, 3.5 kg according to EASA’s ‘Open Category’. The impact velocity was fixed to 30 m/s. The Abbreviated Injury Severity (AIS) were coded according to the impact force by utilising the Impact Force Criterion. The results show that as the MTOM increase, the impact force will increase. The results show that a carbon fibre or aluminium generalised fixed-wing drone can cause severe injuries even if the drone is under the ‘Harmless’. The results also show that a low density and low rigidity material like EPP can cause serious injury when the MTOM is above 3.5 kg. Further studies are required to study more commonly used materials and physical experiment is required to validate the study done by this FYP Report.
Nikolay Koposov. Memory Laws, Memory Wars: The Politics of the Past in Europe and Russia.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In this monograph, Memory Laws, Memory Wars: The Politics of the Past in Europe and Russia, Nikolay Koposov offers an excellent analysis of a comparatively recent phenomenon: the adoption of laws criminalizing certain statements about the past. One thing that stands out among his findings is the fact that, oddly, legislators have not even specified which crimes their laws consider undeniable; the word Holocaust is generally absent, for instance. There were precedents to today’s memory laws. No later than the nineteenth century, European states began regulating commemorative practices and other collective representations of past events. Holocaust denial has been de facto illegal in West Germany since the late 1970s. That country and Israel each adopted more explicit legislation in 1985 and 1986, respectively. But Koposov makes a convincing case that the big milestone, the “classical memory law” (82), was the Gayssot Act in France in 1990. In convoluted language, that law, named after communist member of parliament Jean-Claude Gayssot, penalized denial of “the existence of one or many crimes against humanity, as they were defined in Article 6 of the Statute [Charter] of the International Military Tribunal annexed to the London Agreement of 8 August 1945, that were committed by members of an organization declared criminal by the application of Article 9 of the mentioned Statute, or by a person declared guilty of such crimes by a French or an international jurisdiction” (85). Discussed widely at the time, the Gayssot Act served as a prototype for other countries.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND: American cutaneous leishmaniasis is a dermatozoonosis of compulsory notification with relevant morbidity. The disease is considered endemic in northern Paraná. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical, laboratory and epidemiological aspects of patients with American cutaneous leishmaniasis treated at Clinics Hospital, State University of Londrina, Brazil (Paraná). METHODS: This was an observational, cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study. The medical records of patients with American cutaneous leishmaniasis treated at the University Hospital of Londrina - Paraná, from 1998 to 2009 were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 470 patients, with prevalence of 8.72 cases / 100,000 inhabitants, participated in the study. Most patients were male, aged 21-40 years, with a single ulcerated lesion as the most common clinical presentation, located mainly in an exposed area of the body. With regard to immunological tests, the Montenegro intradermal reaction was positive in 84.4% of cases. Treatment with pentavalent antimony was well tolerated, and patient follow-up for a year occurred in 59% of cases. CONCLUSION: American cutaneous leishmaniasis is still an endemic disease in the region, with a high potential for morbidity, but with a cure rate of around 95% after treatment. The use of immunological techniques facilitates the diagnosis of clinically suspicious cases.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The study dealt with practices and prospects of public participation in local economic development a case of three selected woredas in yeka sub city, Addis Ababa city administration. The objective of the study is to assess the participation of community"s in local economic development and the outcome. The issues observed to achieve the objective were areas of community participation, institutionalization of participatory practices, substantive coordination of the actors and outcomes of these processes and activities in the selected Woredas of yeka Sub-city. Mixed approach (both Qualitative and Quantitative approach) is used. Semi-structured questionnaire is prepared. In-depth interview, focus group discussion and observation tools were developed and employed to elicit important information from the community and triangulate with secondary and questionnaire data. In general the observations of data results from various sources, the development activities are not sustainable in the sense also that the process didn"t create sizeable employment to the local community. The participatory local economic development work has not been linked to small and micro enterprises. Therefore, the study concluded with the recommendation that the participatory local economic development work should maintain link between the community, the SMEs and other actors in order to engage in sustainable processes and activities of local economic development in the Sub City selected for this study.
Anthropomorphism Fails to Strengthen use of and Trust in Automation

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Although automation is employed as an aid to human performance, operators often interact with automated decision aids inefficiently. The current study investigated whether anthropomorphic automation would engender higher trust and use, subsequently improving human-automation team performance. Participants performed a multi-element probabilistic signal detection task in which they diagnosed a hypothetical nuclear reactor as in a state of safety or danger. The task was completed unassisted and assisted by a 93%-reliable agent varying in anthropomorphism. Results gave no evidence that participants’ perceptions of anthropomorphism differed between conditions. Further, anthropomorphic automation failed to bolster trust and automation-aided performance. Findings suggest that the benefits of anthropomorphism may be limited in some contexts.
Theory & Methods: Set Compound Estimation Under Entropy Loss

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Set compound estimation has been studied for nearly half a century. This paper explores, for the first time, set compound estimation under entropy (Kullback‐Leibler information) loss for a k ‐dimensional standard exponential family with a compact parameter space. It makes detailed investigation of entropy loss with the exponential family and related proper‐ties. Asymptotically optimal set compound estimators with rates O ( n −1/2 ) under this loss are established for some discrete exponential families by using power series, representing the Bayes estimators in terms of a mixture density and applying the Singh‐Datta Lemma. Poisson, negative binomial families and a two‐dimensional model serve as examples.

Study of the Applicability of Thermochemical Processes for Solid Recovered Fuel

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Within the context of the new circular model for wastewater treatment aimed at achieving zero waste, this research seeks an alternative to landfill disposal of waste screenings. It examines the feasibility of thermochemical processes—combustion and gasification—for the valorisation of solid recovered fuel (SRF) derived from screening wastes, which are the only waste in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) that typically have an absence of existing recycling or valorisation processes. Laboratory-scale experiments assessed the technical viability of gasification, and energy balances were calculated for both combustion and the syngas obtained from gasification experiments. Results indicate that both processes are feasible for SRF valorisation. Combustion demonstrated the highest energy efficiency, yielding up to 1.6 MJ per kg of raw SRF, compared to gasification’s maximum of 1.4 MJ. The moisture content in SRF feedstock influences both processes, underscoring the need to optimise moisture levels. Additionally, combustion showed a higher conversion efficiency due to the complete oxidation of the feedstock, whereas gasification produced valuable syngas that can be further utilised for energy production or as a chemical feedstock. The study concludes that, from a purely energetic perspective, combustion is the most efficient process for SRF valorisation. However, gasification offers significant environmental and sustainability advantages, including lower greenhouse gas emissions and the potential for integrating with renewable energy systems, making it a more attractive option for long-term sustainability goals.

An Out-of-Focus Image Calibration Method Based on Accurate Positioning of Concentric Circle Projection Center

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

During camera calibration, the plane target image is required to occupy most of the whole image, and the focused image is also needed. It is difficult to satisfy these conditions in large-scale structural vision measurement. Therefore, it is very important to explore a camera calibration method with a small calibration board for a large field of view. This paper proposed an out-of-focus image calibration method based on the accurate positioning of concentric circular projection center, which is not limited by the camera’s field of view and can overcome the influence of out-of-focus image on camera calibration. The proposed method consists of three parts: adaptive blurred circle image enhancement, accurate positioning of concentric circle projection center and camera calibration of concentric circle center point array. The simulation results show that under different Gaussian blur kernel radius conditions, the proposed accurate positioning method of the concentric circle projection center has better robustness. When Gaussian kernel radius K = 40, the positioning accuracy of the proposed method is improved by 41.88%. In the real image experiment, the internal parameters of the camera in the heavy defocus image have similar results to the Zhang’s calibration method in the focused image. Both simulation and real image experiments show that the proposed method can realize the calibration of large targets with a small plane calibration board.
