The Age of Mexican Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) Ph+ Is Quite Younger Than the Reported in USA and European Series.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Abstract 4291 CML accounts for approximately 15 percent of the cases of leukemia in adults. It has an annual incidence of 1 to 2 cases per 100000, with a slight male predominance. The median age at presentation is about 60 years and the incidence increases as a function of age, as reported in North American, Australian and European series. However, in our country we found a younger age at diagnosis. Herein we report our analysis of the age distribution of the patients included in the Mexican Cooperative Leukemia Group. We analyzed 356 patients with diagnosis of CML Ph+, from January 2001 to December 2008. The data analysis showed a median age at diagnosis of 37 years (range 16 to 64 years), with a male: female ratio of 1.1:1. There is a clear difference of age between Mexican patients with CML and those reported in the referred series (37 vs. 60 years) highlighting a geographical and/or ethnical pattern that may play a role as prognostic factor and response to treatment. Moreover, challenge the multistep theory of carcinogenesis in CML, inspired by the observation that cancer incidence increases as a higher order function of age, explained by an increasing somatic mutations rate with age. Further analysis and long term observation is required. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
Sensory experience: A qualitative analysis of the behavioral influence of multi-sensory cues in retail

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Brick-and-mortar retail stores have experienced growing competition from online retailers in recent years. Multi-sensory retail design has become a topic of interest, as it allows retailers to create unique and memorable experiences that engage the senses, experiences that online competitors cannot make. However, existing research on retail sensory design has focused on individual sensory cues, specifically visual cues, rather than exploring how multiple sensory cues interact together. Therefore, there is a critical need to understand how multi-sensory cues influence consumers' responses and behavior. The purpose of this study is to explore how multi-sensory cues—color, lighting, music, and scent—in retail environments influence consumer emotions, perceptions, and behavior through the lens of the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theory. The study recruited 25 participants from a midwestern university. Participants were immersed in a virtual retail store designed with a white interior, warm lighting, lavender scent, and classical music playing in the background. Data was collected through in-depth qualitative interviews about their experience and thematically analyzed. Findings revealed that a harmonious combination of sensory cues enhanced emotional responses. Positive emotions such as calmness, comfort, curiosity, enjoyment, and happiness were associated with satisfaction, intent to spend more time, and intent to purchase. The sensory cues also influenced positive perceptions of a clean, comfortable, inviting, and relaxing environment. These perceptions also positively influenced satisfaction, time spent, and intent to purchase. The perception of a relaxing environment made participants feel calmer, slowed down their pace, reduced sensory overload, and made people feel more in control of their purchasing decisions. While this study provides valuable insights, these findings are based on a virtual retail environment. Additionally, retail brands communicate their identity through the design of the store. Therefore, these insights should be validated in physical stores and aligned with the brand’s identity before implementation. Overall, this study contributes to the limited body of literature on multi-sensory retail design and provides a foundation for future studies, designers, and retailers aiming to create unique, engaging, and memorable retail environments that emotionally connect with consumers to enhance behavioral responses.
Maternal and Fetal Factors Affecting Neonatal Outcome of Emergency Caesarian Section at Northern Mindanao Medical Center: A Secondary Analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The study identifies maternal and fetal factors in outcomes of babies born to mothers who underwent emergency caesarian operation at NMMC recorded during the period covering 2002-2003. From the recorded births, the study yielded 368 mothers and 392 babies. Findings include average of mother who underwent emergency caesarian section (ECS) to be between 18-35 years with 2-5 pregnancies and/or deliveries. Outcomes of these ECS indicated a significant proportion of 36.7 percent of the babies born with an APGAR score of below 7 signifying varying degrees of depression and death of few babies (6.0 percent). Maternal factors were found the most frequent indication for ECS (50.0 percent of cases). Mothers more than 35 years old or with more than 5 preganancies and/or deliveries and those who were having babies below 37 weeks or above 41 weeks were found to be associated with poor outcomes or baby conditions. Hypertension followed by prenatal maternal bleeding and multiple medical problems were also noted for producing poor neonatal outcomes. Among the fetal factors found to produce poor neonatal outcomes are: abnormal FHR, oligohydraminios, cord prolapse, multiple fetal problems, meconium stain in IE, etc. Of these, cord prolapse was observed to the most dreaded fetal factor (50.0 percent of the babies).
Seed Borne Fungal Pathogen Associated with Soybean ( Glycine max L.) and their Management in Jimma, Southwestern Ethiopia

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The present study was amid to detect and identify seed borne fungi associated with soybean seeds and to assess the effect of surface disinfection time on percent of seed infection. A single variety of soybean “Clark” of two batches obtained from Jimma agriculture research center was used for the study. Seed borne fungi associated with soybean were detected using agar plate and blotter technique. Four disinfection times (0 minute, 2 minute, 4 minute and 6 minute) were tested in the study. A total of five fungi species comprising four genera namely Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium spp., Penicillium sp. and Rhizopus spp. were isolated from soybean seed. Among which Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger were found to be the most prevalent. The study also indicate that time of seed disinfection has significant effect (p>0.05) on percent of seed infection. The highest seed infection was observed in the un-disinfected seed lots while the lowest seed infection was recorded in the plate containing seed disinfected with longer time 6 minute. However the difference in disinfection time has no relation with the germination potential of the grain. Generally, the present study reviled that a wide range of pathogens are associated with soybean seed, and the time of surface disinfection can considerably affect the percent of seed infection. Moreover, extensive similar researches needs to be conducted to develop safe and effective management tools to tackle problems related with seed borne fungi.

Language across the curriculum in an ESL context: How teachers deal with difficult texts

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract This article addresses the use of English to teach ‘content’ subjects across the curriculum, and the ways in which English language teachers operate in such circumstances. In particular, it examines how South African teachers, working in situations where English is a second language, approach the teaching of a ‘content’ lesson based on a Geography text. It goes on to argue that although their strategies are useful in some areas, the range and variety of their approaches could be extended, perhaps through training. This has implications for the many other contexts around the world where English is being used or introduced as a medium of instruction, and for English teachers and teacher trainers in those countries.
Phytolectins: natural molecules with immense biotechnological potential.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Lectins are structurally diverse, carbohydrate binding proteins that bind reversibly to specific mono- or oligosaccharides. Their abundance in the plant kingdom suggest that they have diverse roles to perform. They serve as recognition factor between symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria and host plants, as a deterrent to phytopathogens like fungi, insects, and animals, as storage protein and as an aid in sexual reproduction in Chlamydomonas, amongst others. The possible application of lectins as a factor in increasing soil fertility and as a biopesticide by genetically engineered organisms is yet to be fully explored by the biotechnologists. However, they are being used by the biomedical scientists and biochemists in blood typing and stimulation of cells for chromosome analysis and gene mapping, in cell separation, identification of complex glycoproteins and typing of bacteria. Cell targeting by lectins in cancer therapy is still in its infancy. This review gives an insight into the potential of these wonder biomolecules in agriculture, biochemistry, cell biology and medicine for the benefit of mankind.
Evaluation of special education programs offered in inclusive schools in Saudi Arabia from teachers perspectives

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate special education programs that are applied in inclusive schools in Saudi Arabia from teachers perspectives. This study also aimed to discover whether statistically significant differences existed in the opinions of teachers based on their position, gender, teaching experience, and educational level. 615 questionnaires consisting of 20 Likert statements were distributed to a random sample of regular and special education teachers working in inclusive settings in Saudi Arabia. Eighty-five percent (n=523) teachers completed and returned usable questionnaires. An analysis of the collected data, using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance, indicated that the teachers' evaluations for special education programs applied in their schools were generally acceptable. The results also indicated significant differences in the teachers' evaluations based on their position and educational levels, with more positive evaluations found among special education teachers with master's degrees. Furthermore, significant differences were not found in the teachers' evaluations based on gender or amount of teaching experience. (Abdulhade Issa Haimour.

P1‐579: THE EXPERIENCES OF NURSING STAFF CARING FOR PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA IN ACUTE CARE: LAYING A FOUNDATION TO IMPROVE DEMENTIA CARE

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

Among patients in acute care, approximately 25% have some form of dementia. Acute care hospitals are not generally equipped to provide the best dementia care and few hospitals have specific training in place to prepare staff to provide high-quality care for patients with dementia. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of nursing staff caring for patients with dementia. This information will be used to create a tailored education program, as one component of a dementia-friendly hospital initiative. A qualitative descriptive design was used. Data were collected through focus groups (n=7) and individual interviews (n=2) with nurses and patient technicians. Focus groups were facilitated by an expert in qualitative research. Questions focused on experience in this area as well as barriers and facilitators to care. All focus groups were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis was independently carried out by two team members. There were 24 registered nurses and 11 technicians who participated in the focus groups that lasted, on average, 1 hour, and 2 technicians participated in individual interviews. Data analysis is ongoing but emerging themes are the commitment of the staff to the care of these patients, their personal experience with dementia, lack of preparation for care, and the need for better communication. Many staff reported the struggle to find adequate time to provide quality dementia care on a busy acute care unit. The majority of nursing staff had received no specific preparation to prepare them to care for hospitalized patients with dementia. Poor communication was an important barrier to care and staff was at times unaware of the dementia as it was not the primary reason for admission. These findings underscore the importance of specialized education to support staff knowledge and confidence in care provision. There is a need to ensure that staff are adequately trained to identity and assess cognitive impairment as well as provide person-centered care that includes the families. We can do better in improving the safety and quality of care for patients with dementia.
Indonesian molasses export supply in world trade

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This study examines the factors affecting Indonesian molasses exports in international trade using time series data from 2003 to 2019. The analysis tool used is the Error Correction Model (ECM). The analysis results show that in the long run, the variables of molasses production, exchange rates, and inflation have a significant effect on Indonesia's molasses export supply. In contrast, Indonesia's GDP, molasses export prices, and world CPO prices have no significant effect. In the short run, the variables of molasses production, world molasses prices, exchange rates, and inflation have a significant effect. The variables of Indonesia's GDP, molasses export prices, and world CPO prices have no significant effect on Indonesia's molasses export supply in world trade.
Alerting the immune system to DNA damage: micronuclei as mediators

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

Abstract Healthy cells experience thousands of DNA lesions per day during normal cellular metabolism, and ionizing radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs rely on DNA damage to kill cancer cells. In response to such lesions, the DNA damage response (DDR) activates cell-cycle checkpoints, initiates DNA repair mechanisms, or promotes the clearance of irreparable cells. Work over the past decade has revealed broader influences of the DDR, involving inflammatory gene expression following unresolved DNA damage, and immune surveillance of damaged or mutated cells. Subcellular structures called micronuclei, containing broken fragments of DNA or whole chromosomes that have been isolated away from the rest of the genome, are now recognized as one mediator of DDR-associated immune recognition. Micronuclei can initiate pro-inflammatory signaling cascades, or massively degrade to invoke distinct forms of genomic instability. In this mini-review, we aim to provide an overview of the current evidence linking the DDR to activation of the immune response through micronuclei formation, identifying key areas of interest, open questions, and emerging implications.
Risk analysis of offshore transportation accident in arctic waters

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

A methodology for risk analysis applicable to shipping in arctic waters is introduced. This methodology uses the Bowtie relationship to represent an accident causes and consequences. It is further used to quantify the probability of a ship accident and also the related accident consequences during navigation in arctic waters. Detailed fault trees for three possible ship accident scenarios in arctic transits are developed and represented as bowties. Factors related to cold and harsh conditions and their effects on grounding, foundering, and collision are considered as part of this study. To illustrate the application of the methodology, it is applied to a case of an oil-tanker navigating on the Northern Sea Route (NSR). The methodology is implemented in a Markov Chain Monte Carlo framework to assess the uncertainties arisen from historical data and expert judgments involved in the risk analysis.
Management of Renal Osteodystrophy in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The term “renal osteodystrophy” encompasses all forms of metabolic bone disease found in dialysis patients. The primary approach to the treatment of renal osteodystrophy in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is similar to that in hemodialysis patients. However, the increased prevalence of adynamic bone histology, together with the difficulty in judging calcium balance, the inability to practicably give intravenous vitamin D, and the clearance of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone via dialysate require a different therapeutic approach in PD compared to hemodialysis patients. Clearly, more comparative studies of new agents are needed to find the optimal approach to achieving the K/DOQI guidelines in PD patients. The unique aspects of the approach to renal osteodystrophy in PD patients are the focus of this review.

Assessment of contact involvements and scrums in international rugby union match-play using video analysis and microsensor technology methods

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This study sought to assess the validity of contact involvement (CI) detection using microsensor technology (MST, Catapult Vector) within the context of a Tier One national rugby union (RU) squad, consisting of 44 players. Sensitivity of MST units to detect CI and scrums was assessed in eight test matches, by comparison with match data obtained by video analysis. This paper is the first to assess the sensitivity of MST to the full range of skilled CI which occur in RU, including evaluating "non-performance" collisions, such as incidental collisions or foul play. Sensitivity to tackles made (52.9-84.9%) and ruck hits (53.3-87.2%) was lower than previous research, although ball carries (71.9-93.5%) showed broadly similar sensitivity to established results. The sensitivity of the MST to detect scrums was substantially lower than previous findings, with large positional variation evident (51.4-91.5%). Further refinement of MST software should be considered in order to facilitate valid monitoring of RU performance and injury risk. An additional finding was that video analysis generally demonstrated satisfactory intrarater reliability. This result supports the use of video analysis as a reliable method of assessing RU performance, including CI.
Hydrogen bond-assisted solid-state formation of a salt-bridged calix[5]arene pseudo-dimer

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Co-crystallization of a carboxylcalix[5]arene in the presence of n-butylamine afforded the corresponding host–guest carboxylate–butylammonium salt-bridged complex as a result of a proton transfer process assisted by a second non-ionized calixarene molecule. The crystals isolated consist of a supramolecular pseudo-dimer in which a host–guest inclusion complex is connected to a formally neutral receptor molecule – hosting a solvent molecule in the aromatic cavity – via a strong negative charge-assisted H-bond between the carboxyl/carboxylate substituents present at the narrow rim of the two interacting calixarene molecules.
