Occurrence of Clostridium perfringens vegetative cells and spores throughout an industrial production process of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The main use of black soldier fly larvae ( Hermetia illucens ) is currently as an animal feed ingredient. While the bacterial community of the larvae has been characterised repeatedly via sequencing, microbiological safety assessment based on culture-dependent techniques is still scarce. This study focused on the occurrence of the spore-forming foodborne pathogen Clostridium perfringens during rearing and consecutive processing of the larvae, based on observations in a single rearing facility. C. perfringens vegetative cells and spores were determined, in addition to total viable counts, total aerobic spore counts and intrinsic parameters including pH, water activity and moisture content. All samples were obtained from an industrial production plant. In a preliminary experiment, substrate ingredients and dried larvae were analysed, but the larvae were produced with a previous batch of the substrate mixture. A second, more detailed, experiment was performed where all samples were collected sequentially from the same production run (substrate ingredients, substrate mixture, starting larvae, harvested larvae, residue, dried larvae and stored dried larvae). In the two experiments, (presumptive) C. perfringens , as determined on tryptose sulphite cycloserine agar, was found at low numbers in the ingredients and in the second experiment it was also found in the substrate mixture. Over the two experiments, total C. perfringens counts (i.e. vegetative cells plus spores) ranged between 3.0±0.1 and <1.2±0.5 log cfu/g and C. perfringens spores ranged between 2.5±0.1 and <1.0±0.0 log cfu/g. Interestingly, vegetative cells and spores of C. perfringens were below the detection limit in all larvae samples. Therefore, it appears that at this production site and based on the samples investigated, the pathogen did not colonise the larvae. However, these results indicate that insect producers should monitor this pathogen among others, and install good hygiene practices to avoid contamination.
Analysis of methods for evaluating innovative projects

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The article provides a detailed analysis of the concept of "innovative project", concludes that innovative projects are investment innovative projects that have an innovative product as the final result. The dynamics of indicators of innovation activity of Russian organizations presented in the article, as well as the positions of the main components of Russia in terms of the global innovation index, allowed us to conclude that the innovation activity of Russian organizations is poorly evaluated. To solve this problem, the article recommends using modern methods of innovative project management and applying the most appropriate methods of predictive evaluation of their effectiveness. The research conducted in the article on the methods of evaluating innovative projects allowed us to conclude that they can be broadly divided into social and commercial. The paper proposes a universal algorithm for evaluating innovative projects, which will improve the efficiency of managerial decision-making in the field of innovation.
Resisting the professional turn: revisiting youth work as a covenantal process

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Youth work in England has its origins in the mid-industrial period (c. 1800–70). Characterised as a social movement, youth work, in line with social pedagogy practices on the continent, formed part of collaborative familial and community processes that supported young people’s upbringing within a range of informal social activities. Following the publication of a Government Circular in 1939 called The Service of Youth, a youth service was born in recognition of the value of youth work to support young people’s social and physical development. The pedagogical relationship with young people has since become subject to professionalisation, led by the imperatives of policy rather than by the interests and needs of young people and community members. The introduction of contractual practices further positions young people as clients where desired outputs between the youth worker and young person are pre-agreed to meet funding criteria. We argue that positioning young people as clients to youth workers within contractual relationships can disembed the young person from the collaborative processes of upbringing situated within their family and community relationships. Grounded in a youth work project called ‘Beyond the School Gates’, we revisit the origins of youth work in England to conceptualise the youth worker/young person relationship more centrally within covenantal, open-ended processes of communal and familial upbringing
Strategic approach to improving maternal survival in oman.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

THIS STUDY OF MATERNAL MORTALITY IN OMAN TRIES TO ANSWER THE QUESTION: Is the Fifth Millennium Development Goal achievable in Oman or not? In Oman, Maternal Mortality Ratio currently stands at 22.9/100,000, a reduction of 38.9% from its 37.5/100,000 in 2002. This figure suggests that much needs to be done to accelerate progress towards the achievement of the Fifth Millennium Development Goal. Characteristics of 135 Omani women who died during pregnancy, labour or puerperium during the period 1990-2005 were studied. Data related to maternal health in Oman were also scrutinized, e.g. age of first marriage, ante-natal, natal and post-natal care, birth spacing, fertility and perinatal mortality. The study calls for accelerated efforts and renewed commitment to maternal health and recommends a framework for national strategic directions to scale up access to essential interventions to reduce maternal mortality in Oman and move closer to the achievement of the Fifth Millennium Development Goal.
Room‐Temperature Yellow Emission of a High Cd Content (x = 0.70), Highly Strained, Layer‐by‐Layer Grown Zn1−xCdxSe/ZnSe Quantum Well

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The results of the growth and characterization of an 8 monolayers (MLs) thick Zn 1− x Cd x Se/ZnSe quantum well (QW) with quite high Cd content ( x = 0.70) are presented. At room temperature (RT), the QW presents yellow excitonic emission at 2.179 eV (569 nm, same color as the yellow line of a Kr ion laser). Despite the large Cd content, the RT photoluminescence spectrum shows a well‐defined, symmetric excitonic peak with relatively narrow full width at half maximum, indicating a good structural quality of the QW that is attributed to the sequential layer‐by‐layer growth mode achieved by the use of the submonolayer pulsed beam epitaxy (SPBE) technique. The ZnSe barriers are grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE); the QW heterostructure is deposited on top of a GaAs(001) substrate at 275 °C. Scanning transmission electron microscopy indicates a homogeneous smooth QW layer. The evolution of the excitonic emission energy with increasing temperature in the 19–300 K range shows the well‐known S‐shaped behavior that is interpreted in terms of exciton migration.
Attitudes of first-year medical students towards the doctor patient relationship.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

In recent years, medical schools all over the world have instituted a variety of curricula to teach communication skills, professional values and ethics to medical students. Studies on the student attitudes towards doctor-patient relationships are lacking in Nepal. The present study was carried out to obtain information on the sharing and caring dimensions of the doctor-patient relationship and note any association of the dimensions with the demographic characteristics of the respondents. The study was carried out among first year students of the Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal in August 2003 using the patient-practitioner orientation scale. One hundred and sixty-five students participated. The mean +/- SD total, caring and sharing scores were 3.71 +/- 0.48, 3.51 +/- 0.55 and 3.91 +/- 0.62 respectively. Students whose first degree relative was a doctor had higher sharing score compared to those without doctor relatives. Female students had higher scores. Students had a positive attitude towards the doctor-patient relationship. Our scores were lower than those reported previously. Further studies are required and the results obtained will be helpful in designing a doctor-patient relationship course for Nepal.
Health reform and its aftermath.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Patient Protection and Affordability Act, H.R. 3509, that was signed into law by President Obama in March 2010 might just as easily have been subtitled the "Attorneys, Accountants, Lobbyists, and Public Relations Personnel Relief Act of 2010." As components of the law unfold over the next decade, thousands of pages of regulations must be written to explain how to implement the various provisions in the 906-page engrossed version of this legislation. Key segments of the health care industry in the form of practitioners, insurance companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical device companies, and academic institutions with programs in the health sciences will be affected in diverse ways. History being a reliable guide, it is safe to posit that these entities will respond in the usual manner by employing armies of lobbyists, public relations specialists, and attorneys to enhance the likelihood that the ensuing regulatory environment will not be too inimical to their respective interests.

Extracting verb valency frames with Nooj

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The paper discusses the possibilities of describing verb valency on the basis of local grammars developed in the Nooj format. In this paper we use Nooj to describe the semantic and syntactic valency of app. 120 Croatian verbs belonging to the semantic field of consumation (e.g. eat, drink, devour, imbibe etc.).The whole semantic field, consisting of verbal lexical units is viewed as a single semantic frame. The approach relies on the theoretical background of frame semantics an is used in the development of the FrameNet. In such an approach the semantic valency of lexical units is described in terms of core and non-core elements characteristic for the whole frame. The level of syntax is observed as a level of realization or non-realization of conceptual arguments. As a starting point we use app. 40 sentence types consisting of morphosyntactic combinations possible in Croatian. For each sentence type a local grammar is built, with free word order taken into consideration. At the same time every lexical units is describeld in the Croatian Nooj dictionary. Each local grammar is applied to a corpus, and each occurence or non- occurences of lexical units in morphosyntactically annotated sentence types is analyzed. The obtained results show that certain verbs, although in terms of semantic valency all of them can intuitively be described as two argument verbs, are exclusively realized as one argument verbs on the syntactic level. Further results show the importance of non- core frame elements (e.g. means, company) for certain lexical units. The obtained results are further used for the refinement of verb frames in existing verb valency lexical of Croatian verbs and as a tool for distinguishing verb senses used in the development of the Croatian WordNet (CroWN).
Politico-Epistemic Tensions Regarding Personal Assistance and Care for People with Disabilities: An Integrative Literature Review

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Background: Since the 1960s, the Independent Life Movement has demanded personal assistance as a right for people with disabilities to access autonomy. In turn, feminist movements have shown a special concern for the care and profile of the providers. Both postures have created tensions around the provision of personal assistance and care for people with disabilities. Aim: To know and analyze the scientific evidence regarding approaches to personal assistance and care for people with disabilities. Methods: An Integrative Literature Review using five databases: Dialnet, Scielo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The Boolean combinations were: “Personal assistance AND disability”; “Personal assistance AND care AND disability”; “Care AND disability” in English, and “Asistencia personal AND discapacidad”; “Asistencia personal AND cuidados AND discapacidad”; “Cuidados AND discapacidad” in Spanish. A total of 31 scientific articles were obtained. A content analysis was then, with five analysis dimensions emerging. Results: The articles approached the positive aspects of personal assistance. Others established the need for more resources in order to not be an exclusive reality for developed countries. Profiles were made of racialized, young, migrant women as the identity behind (informal) care. From the perspective of a feminist disability care ethic, new forms of providing care are proposed, by changing the focus from individual and family responsibility, towards a social and collective focus. Conclusion: The evidence analyzed considers various dimensions of the epistemo-political tension between personal assistance and care. The meeting point between both perspectives is interdependence and autonomy; on the one side, for people with disabilities, and on the other, for the women profiled as the main caregivers.

LARYNGOTRACHEOBRONCHITIS IN CHILDREN ME,drugs may in fact, by preventing the growth of secondary bacterial invaders, postpone the bacterial liquefaction of the tenacious secretion.Treatment should be directed primarily to the relief of anoxia, the liquefaction of mucus, and the mechanical removal of tenacious secretion.Summary A study was made of 35 children dying of acute laryngotracheobronchitis over a four-year period in Sheffield.Twenty-nine children died of an exudative affection of the lower respiratory tree.Laryngotracheobronchitis would appear to be a more common cause of death in children between the ages of 6 weeks and 2 years than the notifiable infectious diseases.The aetiology of the condition is not known, and the infection is not necessarily specific.Death seems to be due chiefly to mechanical suffoca- tion by abnormal mucous secretion.Treatment should be directed to maintaining an air- way.Antibacterial drugs are unlikely to be effective in the early stages of the disease and may possibly postpone recovery.It is a pleasure to acknowledge the interest and advice of Dr.
Tunable Sensing Property of 1D Periodic Structure with Defect of Liquid Crystal Sandwiched by Metallic Layers

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we have investigated the optical properties of one-dimensional periodic structure of dielectric materials with defect of liquid crystal (LC) sandwiched with two silver (Ag) layers. The transmission, reflection and absorption properties of considered periodic structure have calculated theoretically using transfer matrix method (TMM). Our study reports that the tunability of absorption defect peak of the defect periodic structure is achieved by the variation in the incident angle of electromagnetic wave. The obtained result suggests that such defect periodic structure may be used as tunable sensor and filter devices.
Physicochemical compatibility and emulsion stability of propofol with commonly used analgesics and sedatives in an intensive care unit

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Propofol should not be administered with 4-hydroxybutyric acid, remifentanil hydrochloride, midazolam hydrochloride and piritramide through the same intravenous line. Based on the risk of sorption to the rubber material, propofol should be used with caution. A drug loss might occur that leads to an underdosing of the patient requiring a dose adjustment to avoid any adverse consequences. As a result of this study, the drug safety in intensive care units could be optimised.
Autonomous/controlled travel motivations and their effect on travel intentions of Indian Millennials: a mixed method approach

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

With the self-determination theory (SDT) as grounding, the current study uses qualitative investigation with twenty-five respondents and a two-stage quantitative validation with 782 respondents, to propose seven travel motivations for Indian millennials. These motivations are knowledge-seeking, escape, sense of accomplishment, experience stimulation, social relationships, destination rewards, and social media compulsion. These motivations are mapped to specific regulations in the SDT and organized into autonomous and controlled motivations. Both autonomous and controlled motivations have a significant impact on travel intentions. A judgemental sample of Indian millennials is drawn from the eligible client-list of a prominent tourism agency used as the sampling frame. The study guides destination managers to position their destinations aligned with the motivations that drive Indian millennials to travel.

Formation of phreatic caves in an eogenetic karst aquifer by CO2 enrichment at lower water tables and subsequent flooding by sea level rise

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT Formation of extensive phreatic caves in eogenetic karst aquifers is widely believed to require mixing of fresh and saltwater. Extensive phreatic caves also occur, however, in eogenetic karst aquifers where fresh and saltwater do not mix, for example in the upper Floridan aquifer. These caves are thought to have formed in their modern settings by dissolution from sinking streams or by convergence of groundwater flow paths on springs. Alternatively, these caves have been hypothesized to have formed at lower water tables during sea level low‐stands. These hypotheses have not previously been tested against one another. Analyzing morphological data and water chemistry from caves in the Suwannee River Basin in north‐central Florida and water chemistry from wells in the central Florida carbonate platform indicates that phreatic caves within the Suwannee River Basin most likely formed at lower water tables during lower sea levels. Consideration of the hydrological and geochemical constraints posed by the upper Floridan aquifer leads to the conclusion that cave formation was most likely driven by dissolution of vadose CO 2 gas into the groundwater. Sea level rise and a wetter climate during the mid‐Holocene lifted the water table above the elevation of the caves and placed the caves tens of meters below the modern water table. When rising water tables reached the land surface, surface streams formed. Incision of surface streams breached the pre‐existing caves to form modern springs, which provide access to the phreatic caves. Phreatic caves in the Suwannee River Basin are thus relict and have no causal relationship with modern surficial drainage systems. Neither mixing dissolution nor sinking streams are necessary to form laterally extensive phreatic caves in eogenetic karst aquifers. Dissolution at water tables, potentially driven by vadose CO 2 gas, offers an underappreciated mechanism to form cavernous porosity in eogenetic carbonate rocks.

Production of IAA hormone in rhizosphere bacterial isolates of community forest stands

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract The rhizosphere is the soil around plant roots, which is directly affected by soil microbes, and exudation of plant roots have an essential role in plant health and soil fertility. The IAA (Indole Acetic Acid) hormone or known as the auxin hormone, is a major member of the auxin group that controls important physiological processes, including cell enlargement and division, tissue differentiation, and responding light and gravity. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of rhizosphere bacteria isolates to produce IAA hormone associated with tree roots at community forest stand. This study comprised rejuvenating bacterial isolates to obtain pure and uncontaminated isolates and testing IAA concentrations. The results showed that rhizosphere bacterial isolates around the roots in community forest stands could produce IAA hormones. The BR 2 ( Bacillus ) bacteria isolates produced the highest IAA, which indicated with the color change of isolates to pink, while BB 3 and JS 1 isolates produced the lowest IAA.
