Seed age and storage conditions influence germination of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Germination was investigated in 1-yr and 8-yr-old seed lots of barnyardgrass. Each seed lot was divided into a portion stored dry at 25 C (afterripening) and a portion buried in the field (stratification) in central Europe (latitude 50°N, longitude 14°E). The afterripened seed lost dormancy within 2 yr after dispersal, whereas buried seed passed through annual dormancy/nondormancy cycles. The seed was germinated at five constant temperatures between 17 and 35 C with an 18/6-h light/dark photoperiod. Germination was affected by both seed age and storage conditions. Germination percentage and rate in 8-yr-old afterripened and each of the stratified seed lots varied with temperature. Optimum temperatures for germination were between 27 and 31 C, and the range of adequate temperatures increased with seed age. A common base temperature for germination was 11.7 C. In 1-yr-old afterripened material, the proportion of germinating seed (&lt; 5%) and germination rate were similar at all temperatures. Barnyardgrass thus revealed a plastic strategy of germination. Stratification during the first winter removed dormancy and allowed germination at a narrow range of temperatures. This constraint on optimum germination temperature decreased with increased seed age. Seedling emergence, thus, may vary according to whether seed population originates from the previous year or from old soil seed banks.

Self-report of incontinence in acute care.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The incontinence rate was 42% in this acute care population, significantly higher than the incidence reported in studies of community dwellers and lower than the incidence reported in studies of nursing homes. However, ages, definitions of incontinence, and methods of data collection varied among the studies. Documentation of incontinence was reported as low in all of the studies. Based on findings, nurses are advised to assess and document incontinence on men and women of all ages (not just older adults) and to ask direct questions to get information. Strategies for increased awareness of urinary and fecal incontinence issues at the authors' institution after this study's results are included.
In vivo and in vitro characterization of long-term repopulating primitive hematopoietic cells isolated by sequential Hoechst 33342-rhodamine 123 FACS selection.

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

Subpopulations of very primitive hematopoietic cells were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) selection of density gradient-enriched, lineage-depleted marrow cells with blast cell light scatter characteristics that bound low levels of the DNA binding dye, Hoechst 33342 (Hö) and retained differential amounts of the mitochondrial binding dye, rhodamine 123 (Rh-123). The dyes were used sequentially in a single sorting operation. The subfractions of cells that stained most weakly with both dyes were highly coenriched for long-term repopulating cells (LTRC) and for in vitro high proliferative potential colony-forming cells (HPP-CFC). Furthermore, as populations of cells were progressively selected on the basis of decreasing Hö and Rh-123 fluorescence, first the CFU-S-8, then the CFU-S-12 diminished or disappeared entirely in the lowest Rh-123 fraction. In these low fluorescent populations, plating efficiency for HPP-CFC was very high when cultured in the combined presence of recombinant rat stem cell factor (rrSCF), recombinant human interleukin-1 (rhIL-1), recombinant murine interleukin-3 (rmIL-3) and recombinant human colony-stimulating factor-1 (rhCSF-1), apparently reaching 100% in some instances. When 20 male donor cells from this lowest fluorescent Hö/Rh-123 fraction were injected into lethally irradiated female recipients, along with a "compromised" marrow cell population (3x previously transplanted nonsorted female bone marrow cells), the sorted male donor cells were able to completely and exclusively repopulate the myeloid and the lymphoid B and T cell compartments of the recipients for at least 10 months posttransplant. Assays of cell fractions that were relatively more Rh-123 fluorescent demonstrated the presence of cell with progressively less repopulating capacity. When descendants of transplanted low fluorescent Rh-123 selected cells, as found in 12-day spleen colonies, were assayed for the capacity to provide long-term survival in secondary recipients, they were able to do so in a high proportion of lethally irradiated recipients. However, spleen colonies derived from the mid-high fluorescence fraction were completely unable to do so. In summary, we have demonstrated with a sequential Hö/Rh-123 sorting system that a subset of HPP-CFC cofractionate with LTRC with high frequency. Using this system, the enrichment of LTRC in the lowest Rh-123 compartment of the sequentially Hö/Rh-123 selected cells appears to be the greatest demonstrated thus far. In addition, this study further supports previous ones that identify a compartment of LTRC that are largely distinct from CFU-S-12.
Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery versus Sternotomy - Pain Investigation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background: Treatment of postoperative (PO) pain is essential after surgery, as it contributes to a faster rehabilitation. Assessment of PO pain after minimally invasive (MI) surgery has not been regularly addressed, especially when compared with median sternotomy (MS). Objective: This study aims to evaluate the intensity of thoracic pain in the PO period in patients subjected to MI surgery and MS. Methods: This study compared the intensity of thoracic pain in 34 patients subjected to minimally invasive (MI; n = 17) and median sternotomy (MS; n = 17) from June 2015 to June 2016. The intensity and sites of pain in the PO period, assessed using the visual numeric pain scale, and the need for pain medications were analyzed using the Student’s t-test and the z test, with confidence level of 95% (p < 0.05). Results: Almost all patients reported pain on the third PO day (MS = 94.1% and MI = 88.2%; p = 0.5410). On the seventh PO day, there were significantly more patients free of pain in the group of patients subjected to the MI procedure (MS = 94.1% and MI = 64.7%; p = 0.0341). also, these patients reported fewer pain sites (3rd PO day: MS = 3.2 ± 1.5; MI = 1.5 ± 1.2; p = 0.001; 7th PO day: MS = 3.1 ± 1.4; MI = 0.9 ± 0.9; p = 0.000). Patients undergoing MS reported higher pain intensity and longer lasting pain (3rd PO: MS = 4.8 ± 2.2; MI = 3.0 ± 1.6; 7th PO: MS = 5.3 ± 2.0; MI = 1.2 ± 1.3; p = 0.001), with no difference in pain intensity between the third and the seventh PO days (p = 0.4931). In addition, patients subjected to MI procedure had a significant decrease in pain intensity from the third to the seventh PO days (p = 0.001). Conclusion: According to these results, we concluded that a MI procedure leads to lower intensity of pain in the PO period (from the third PO day on) when compared to a MS; also, patients undergoing MI patients reported fewer pain sites.

A Consensus Framework for the Humanitarian Surgical Response to Armed Conflict in 21st Century Warfare

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Evidence suggests that modern trauma systems save lives. However, the requirements of providing this standard of care in insecure conflict settings places new burdens on humanitarian systems that must provide both emergency and trauma surgical care. This consensus framework integrates advances in trauma care and surgical systems in response to a changing security environment. It is possible to reduce disparities and improve the standard of care in these settings.
Periosteum as Barrier Membrane: A Case Report

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Introduction: The quest for finding a regenerative material for periodontal defects is everlasting. Numerous resorbable, nonresorbable, synthetic, and autogenous materials have been tried and tested in this regard. The periosteum has gained popularity in this field as it has exhibited osteogenic properties. The harvest of the periosteum is hassle-free and does not cause additional surgical sites. Case Presentation: The present case report demonstrates the successful use of the periosteum as a barrier membrane in the treatment of an intrabony defect. A 25-year-old female patient reported a complaint of food lodgement and bleeding gums. Clinical and radiographic examinations suggested an intrabony defect concerning the maxillary molar. The periosteum pedicle as a barrier membrane, along with bone graft, was used to treat the defect. Conclusions: The outcome was favorable in defect filling and soft tissue thickness.
Optimal Impedance Matching and Quantum Limits of Electromagnetic Axion and Hidden-Photon Dark Matter Searches

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

For the first time, we determine the properties of the optimal single-moded, linear, passive search for electromagnetic coupling to axion and hidden-photon dark matter, subject to the Standard Quantum Limit on phase-insensitive amplification. We establish the parameters that must be considered to determine the optimal search: the impedance match to dark matter; receiver frequency-response and tuning; irreducible noise sources; and prior information on the dark-matter signal. Using complex-power flow equations, we identify two categories of coupling to the dark-matter signal: radiative and reactive. We motivate a focus on single-moded reactive couplings, as receivers using solely radiative couplings are limited in sensitivity by mismatch with the dark-matter source impedance. We define integrated sensitivity as a figure of merit in comparing searches over a wide frequency range and show that the Bode-Fano criterion sets a limit on integrated sensitivity in a reactively coupled receiver. We examine single-pole resonators, a broadly used form of reactive coupling, and show that when thermal noise dominates amplifier noise and noise matching is optimized, substantial sensitivity is available away from the resonator bandwidth. The Bode-Fano constraint establishes the single-pole resonator as near-ideal for single-moded dark-matter detection. Additionally, the optimized resonator is superior to the optimized reactive broadband receiver at all frequencies at which a resonator may practically be made. We optimize time allocation in a tunable resonator search using priors and derive quantum limits on resonant search sensitivity. At low frequencies, the application of our optimization may enhance scan rates by a few orders of magnitude. While our results broadly inform laboratory searches for light fields, they are the basis for DMRadio, a DOE-funded program in axion and hidden-photon detection.
Determinants and Consequences of Facades of Conformity: A Conservation of Resources Perspective

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

For organizational members, it is both important and challenging to gain acceptance and thrive in organizations. We posit that feigning agreement with prevalent organizational values through facades of conformity helps to achieve these goals. Specifically, we investigate why and how the perceived organizational support moderates the effect of supervisory support employees experience on their adoption of facades of conformity. In doing so, we invoke conservation of resources theory based arguments that perceived organizational and supervisory support are valuable resources to individuals and that the level of access to them influences the use of facades of conformity. We argue that, while facades of conformity are negatively associated with organizational and supervisory support, the intertwined effect of these two types of resources on facades of conformity is mixed. Through two studies, we found that the relationship between supervisory support and facades of conformity was predominantly negative when perceived organizational support was low. We also found an inverted U-shaped relationship between supervisory support and facades of conformity when perceived organizational support was high.

Purpose This paper aims to describe the Prange Children's Book Reformatting Project as an example of bi‐national cooperation to provide the broadest possible access to a collection of historical significance to both nations, when most of the materials are still under copyright. Design/methodology/approach The paper examines the joint project between the University of Maryland Libraries' (UM Libraries) and the National Diet Library of Japan (NDL) to preserve and provide access to the children's books in the Gordon W. Prange Collection. It highlights the unique aspects of the project, including its international component, and describes the project's access tools and service products. Findings The access tools developed as part of this reformatting project – an online digital collection for the UM Libraries and color microfilm for NDL – each have their limitations. Used in combination, however, these tools can support in‐depth research. Originality/value The comprehensiveness of the project (all 8,000 titles are being scanned), the use of digital‐to‐color microfilm technology, and the use of the color microfilm as an access point make this project unique.
“We always tell them, but they don’t do anything about it!” Middle School Black girls Experiences with Sexual Harassment at an Urban Middle School

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Black women and girls are frequently left out of narratives on sexual harassment/sexual violence due to pervasive racism and sexism. Schools contribute to this silence by continuing to overlook the exceptional needs and experiences of Black girls. Therefore, this qualitative study used an intersectional lens to examine Black girls’ experiences with sexual harassment in an urban middle school. Results indicated participants experienced both physical and verbal sexual harassment and felt their concerns were largely ignored or/or minimized by teachers school administrators. Recommendations for creating safe spaces for Black girls in urban middle schools are provided.
Pengaruh Pemberian Air Rebusan Biji Alpukat (Persea americana Mill) Terhadap Pertumbuhan Jamur Candida albicans Secara In Vitro

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The most common cause of patalogis leucorrhoea is infection, one of which is Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC) caused by fungus, while 80% -90% is caused by Candida albicans. Approximately 90% of young women in Indonesia have the potential to experience vaginal discharge because Indonesia is a tropical climate. Alternative treatment for antifungal drugs is needed through the exploration of natural material sources that have the potential as antifungals to deal with this infection safely and easily. The design used in this study was experimental research by in vitro using the dilution method of the tube. Treatment concentrations are 45%; 40%; 35%; 30%; 25%; 20%, 15% and 0% with Candida albicans 104 CFU / ml samples from the microbiology laboratory of the medical faculty Brawijaya University and repeated 3 times. The result showed that at all concentrations, growth was still obtained in agar media so that it could be denied that the boiled water of avocado seeds had no effect on the growth of Candida albicans fungal colonies in vitro because there were still fungal colonies on the plates.
“The Forgotten Helpers? Life After theEmergency Services”

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: The impact of emergency service work on the health and well-being of
personnel has been well documented in the literature. Despite this, however, very little
is known about the experiences of emergency service retirees and their Quality of Life
(QoL). Aims: The principal aim of this study was to assess the overall QoL and wellbeing
of retired emergency services (ambulance and fire) personnel. The specific
objectives of the study were to: (1) ascertain the possible long-term effects, on overall
QoL, of working in the emergency services; (2) explore the experiences and views of
retirees; and (3) to gather information on retirement policies and procedures for
emergency service personnel. Method: The study was conducted within a sequential
mixed methods framework, and incorporated three key stages. Stage One involved
interviews with key informants from emergency services (N=14) to investigate their
views around current retirement policies and procedures. Stage Two employed a multiquestionnaire
postal survey to garner information on retirement, QoL and post-trauma
symptoms both in emergency service retirees (N=169) and in a comparison sample
(N=140). In-depth one-to-one interviews with a sample of emergency service retirees
(N=12, 7% of Stage Two sample) were conducted in Stage Three to supplement the
survey findings and gather more in-depth information around retirement experiences.
Results: The results suggest that life in the emergency services can potentially
negatively impact QoL with possible long-term effects on overall health and well-being
(e.g. significantly higher levels of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
symptomatology, and significantly lower QoL in emergency service retirees). A number
of common themes emerged across stages including: retirement as a major life change;
the longer term impact of trauma; the importance of support and guidance for retirees;
and a need for employers to help improve the transition to retirement through
appropriate procedures, practices and policies. Conclusion: Collectively, the findings
demonstrate that there is a need to: ease the transition to retirement; improve in-service
trauma management; and implement appropriate and effective health promotion
strategies (e.g. resiliency training) to help mitigate the longer term impact of trauma in
this occupational sub-group.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study aims to develop assessment instruments, describe the appropriateness of assessment instruments that fill the elements of validity, practicality, and effectiveness of assessment instruments in training the critical and creative thinking skills of high school students. The research method used a development research model developed by the model of Borg & Gall. In this study, 7 steps were used consisting of research and information gathering, planning, initial product development, limited trials, initial product revisions, field trials, and final product revisions. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling technique, namely the high school students of class X in Tanggamus. The instruments used are validation instruments, practicality tests, and critical and creative thinking skills, and test instruments for critical and creative thinking skills. Test instrument analysis techniques use validity and reliability analysis, different levels of difficulty and power. The validation results of three expert lecturers and three expert practitioners stated that the assessment results of the development were feasible to be used in the high category (72%) for aspects of language, construction, and content. Assessment instruments resulting from practical development are used in physics learning with an average score in the very high category (83.3%). Assessment instruments are used in learning as assessment for learning, students who have the ability to think critically and creatively with good categories reach 56.5% and 57.4%. Thus, assessment instruments for critical and creative thinking skills that have been developed effectively train students to have good critical and creative thinking skills, so that assessment instruments can be used as an assessment for learning for students.
