Chemical evaluation and anticholinesterase activity of Hippeastrum puniceum (Lam.) Kuntz bulbs (Amaryllidaceae)

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Hippeastrum puniceum is a species that belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family. A particular characteristic of this family is the consistent and very specific presence of isoquinoline alkaloids, which have demonstrated a wide range of biological activities such as antioxidant, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, among others. In the present work, fifteen alkaloids were identified from the bulbs of Hippeastrum puniceum (Lam.) Kuntz using a GC-MS approach. The alkaloids 9-O-demethyllycoramine, 9-demethyl-2α-hydroxyhomolycorine, lycorine and tazettine were isolated through chromatographic techniques. The typical Amaryllidaceae alkaloids lycorine and tazettine, along with the crude and ethyl acetate extract from bulbs of the species were evaluated for their inhibitory potential on α-amylase, α-glucosidase, tyrosinase and acetylcholinesterase activity. Although no significant inhibition activity was observed against α-amylase, α-glucosidase and tyrosinase from the tested samples, the crude and ethyl acetate extracts showed remarkable acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. The biological activity results that correlated to the alkaloid chemical profile by GC-MS are discussed herein. Therefore, this study contributed to the knowledge of the chemical and biological properties of Hippeastrum puniceum (Lam.) and can subsidize future studies of this species.
The influence of past situations on present behaviors: how school life predicts managerial learning

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of supervisors’ past experiences in school on their present learning behaviors. Design/methodology/approach Data were gathered in a time-lagged study. Supervisors populated a previously validated survey about their quality of school life. One week later, a direct measure of learning behaviors was used to determine the extent to which they were motivated to learn in general, and their motivation to exert time and effort in a learning task. Findings Supervisors who found more satisfaction in school were more motivated to learn in general. Those who were more committed to the work of school spent more time on learning and exerted more effort when practicing a new skill. Research limitations/implications Results are valid for supervisors engaging in a learning task relevant to their role. However, because the results are based on direct observation of their learning behavior years later, the findings suggest that school experiences influence workplace learning for employees at all levels. Practical implications Typically, organizations consider the degree employees attain and the content of their learning. This study suggests that organizations should also be considering the habits and attitudes toward learning that employees developed while at school. Originality/value This study bridges educational and workplace learning by examining how the habits and attitudes developed in school settings impact managerial learning, even years later.
Advanced reliability methods

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper proposes three new advanced techniques for engineering reliability analysis. These are computational tools that interface with the physical behavior model of the system and use the statistical information about the primitive random variables to estimate the reliability. Three types of strategies have been used for such computation: analytical methods, response surface methods, and Monte Carlo simulation. All three strategies are improved for efficiency and accuracy with the proposed techniques. In the case of analytical methods, a multiple linear approximation of the limit state is proposed for the reliability estimation of highly nonlinear problems. For problems with large computational models, response surface approximation may be expensive. An alternative approach based on the kriging technique is proposed to overcome this hurdle. Similarly, the efficiency of Monte Carlo simulation is greatly improved by the use of an adaptive importance sampling technique.
Enhancing Zakat Framework of Maldives: A Hundred Muslim Country

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Maldives is a hundred percent Muslim nation where zakat administrative function is entrusted to a government Ministry, Ministry of Islamic Affairs. Zakat al maal and zakat al fitr is managed by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs. Starting from 1st June 2016, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs has delegated the task of collecting zakat to Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA). At the moment, there is no law in Maldives dealing with zakat and Islamic Training and Research Institute (IRTI) has proposed a set of zakat laws that could be adopted by the country. The objective of this research is to discuss the proposed zakat framework by IRTI. This is a qualitative research. There is limited literature available about the zakat framework in Maldives and it is anticipated that this research will be the beginning point to do research on this point.
Beyond 'Baby English': stories of writing and the emergent writer identity of a first-year business studies undergraduate student

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Despite its contributions to conceptualisation of a writer’s identity in academic writing, Ivanič’s (1998, 2005, 2006) concept of discoursal identity tends to foreground the synchronic development and background the historical development of a student‐writer. Drawing on the increasing number of studies informed by narrative analysis in second language acquisition literature (e.g. Benson & Nunan, 2004; Coffey & Street, 2008), I will examine the stories that appear in my interview with one business studies undergraduate student about his writing experiences before and after university. I will show that the learning trajectory of the student‐writer displays a change from a notion of writing associated with an overemphasis on the surface features, such as syntax and grammar, prior to university, to an awareness of the importance of collaboration in group projects in business studies. Closely related to this changing notion of writing is the changing self‐identification of the student‐writer, as the collaborative nature of business studies group projects allows the student‐writer to move beyond his identification as a poor writer to a competent writer/group member.
The Forgotten Force: The Australian Military Contribution to the Occupation of Japan 1945-1952

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

PrefaceThe policies under which Australian military personnel have been committed to the many campaigns and wars undertaken in the nation’s short history are recorded in official war histories or in the many other works available in Australia. Less well known are the policies applied at other times. Little has been written publicly about the period between the cessation of hostilities between Australia and Japan in August 1945 and the commitment of Australian forces, then based in Japan, to the war which erupted in Korea in June 1950. The study of this period has been neglected notwithstanding its importance to any consideration of later policies.This period was one of fundamental readjustment in Australian national security policies, most particularly as a consequence of the decision to commit substantial Australian forces, in times of peace, to the allied occupation of Japan. Further, the rapidly changing international situation and the determination of Australian governments of the day to pursue independent policies caused major adjustments in the relationships with Australia’s principal allies and in the conduct of Australian policy.This new approach sought to build upon the military contribution made by Australia to the prosecution of World War II, especially against Japan. The Australian Government acted quickly to raise Australia’s status in Asia and the Pacific generally, by means of a vigorous and significant contribution to the military occupation of Japan. By these actions the Government expected to gain international recognition of the Australian contribution to the defeat of the Axis Powers and to secure an undisputed place in the peace councils.The principal Australian commitment to the occupation force for Japan—at its peak in 1946 almost 12,000 Australians—called for an intricate balancing of the individual and collective interests......
[Comparison of the results of laparoscopic cholecystectomy preformed in the usual way and with a lesser number of trocars].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Laparoscopic surgery is a part of the minimally invasive surgery. Its aim is to make on operation as valuable as the open one, or even more, with a smaller invasion or injury of the body. With the instruments improvement the operation would be possible without any remarkable organism injury. On the other hand, modifications of the operation techniques lead to progress. European technique of laparoscopic cholecystectomy using four trocars has changed. Procedures are performed with one trocar less. Two groups of two hundred patients each have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The operation in the first group was performed using four, and in the second group using three trocars. The aim of the investigation was to compare these two methods of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The results analysis showed that laparoscopic cholecystectomy using three trocars did not cause either a higher complication rate, prolonged average operation time or longer duration of hospitalisation. The analgesics consumption was lower, sick-leaves were shorter, with smaller total costs, and cosmetic effect was better.

Changes in expression of neuroglobin in brain tissues and plasma in a rat model of endotoxic shock

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of neuroglobin (Ngb) in the frontal lobe cortex, hippocampus, cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in a rat model of endotoxie shock. Methods Seventy SD rats of both sexes aged 7 weeks weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into control group (group C, n = 10) and endotoxic shock group (group ES, n =60). LPS 16 mg/kg was injected via the vein in the tail in group ES. In group C, equal volume of normal saline was administered iv instead of LPS. Blood and CSF samples were taken and frontal lobe cortex and hippocampua were removed at 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after LPS administration for determination of Ngb expression by ELISA and Western blotting. Cerebral water content was measured --brain water content = (wet weight- dry weight) ÷ wet weight x 100%.Results The brain water content was significantly increased after LPS administration and peaked at 48 h after LPS. The expression of Ngh was significantly higher in group ES than in group C and peaked at 48 h after LPS (P < 0.01). Conclusion The up-regulation of Ngb induced by endotoxic shock is time-dependent and is one of the endogenous neuron-protective mechanisms of endotoxie shock.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: The aim is to assess cases of congenital obstructive uropathy in children.Material & Methods:Sixty- five children in age ranged 5-12 years of either gender with congenital obstructive uropathy were recruited for the study. In all cases, ultrasonography was done in all cases. Growth of the child was monitored and height standard deviation score (Ht-SDS) was calculated annually. Glomerular filtration rate (ml/min/1.73 m2) was calculated.Results:Out of 65 patients, males were 40 and females were 25. Etiology found to be ureteropelvic junction obstruction (PUJO) in 12, posterior urethral valve (PUV) in 14, PUJO + PUV in 30 and obstructive megaureter in 9 cases. Symptoms were fever in 34, pain abdomen in 20, burning micturition in 45, poor urinary stream in 21 and flank pain in 15 cases. Treatment given was pyeloplasty in 14, nephrectomy in 20, PUV fulguration in 11, ureterocele decompression in 12 and ureteric reimplantation in 8 cases.Conclusions:Most common etiologies for congenital obstructive uropathy in children were congenital uretero-pelvic junction obstruction and posterior urethral valve. Male preponderance was seen with burning micturition.
Fluoride‐Triggered Domino Reactions Involving Ammonium Acetylides and Carbonyl Compounds

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We describe the use of tetrabutylammonium fluoride as a basic trigger for reactions capable of generating structurally diverse products from methyl propiolate and carbonyl derivatives. The processes are based on either chemodifferentiating multicomponent ABB′ three‐component reactions or bimolecular domino reactions, and they operate through three different and well‐defined autocatalytic cycles. These catalytic cycles share a common property: they are launched by the acid–base reaction of fluoride ions to give catalytic amounts of acetylide or enolate salts, but they are maintained by the autocatalytic generation of these salts.
Omnibus Household Survey (OHS) 2003-02 [supporting datasets]

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) conducts the Omnibus Household Survey (OHS) to monitor public expectations of and satisfaction with the transportation system and to gather event, issue, and mode-specific information. OHS, which is conducted annually, serves as an information source for the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) modal administrators to support congressional requests and to gauge internal DOT performance. Overall, OHS supports the collection of information on a wide range of transportation-related topics. Each round of OHS contains a set of core questions that are based on critical information needs within DOT. In addition, supplemental questions are included in each round to correspond to DOT’s five strategic goals: safety; reduced congestion; global connectivity; environmental stewardship; and security, preparedness, and response. Finally, specific questions posed by the various DOT modes are included in each survey. The OHS program was suspended in 2009. This dataset shows the results of the February 2003 OHS.
Navigating the SMEs Green Path: Exploring the Role of Green Absorptive Capacity, Green Innovation, and Environmental Regulation in Enhancing Environmental Performance

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This paper investigates the relationship between Green Absorptive Capacity (GAC) and Green Innovation (GI) on Environmental Performance (ER) using the moderation role of Environmental Regulations (ER). A survey method was employed by the researchers to gather data from a sample of 467 SMEs manufacturing firms in Pakistan, with participation from management. The researchers employed Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling version 4 (PLS-SEM) to analyze the data and evaluate the hypotheses. Based on the Resource-Based View theory (RBV), the results indicate a positive and significant relationship between GAC and GI, and GI indicates a positive and significant relationship between EP. ER indicates a negative significance between GI and EP. This study provides valuable insights for SMEs manufacturing firms, suggesting that they should utilize GAC for GI implementations to enhance EP, financial, and social performance. This study establishes that GAC plays a crucial role in facilitating the successful implementation of GI and moderating ER, thereby leading to enhanced and more sustainable EP.
Faculty Opinions recommendation of Recursive syntactic pattern learning by songbirds.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Humans regularly produce new utterances that are understood by other members of the same language community. Linguistic theories account for this ability through the use of syntactic rules (or generative grammars) that describe the acceptable structure of utterances. The recursive, hierarchical embedding of language units (for example, words or phrases within shorter sentences) that is part of the ability to construct new utterances minimally requires a 'context-free' grammar that is more complex than the 'finite-state' grammars thought sufficient to specify the structure of all non-human communication signals. Recent hypotheses make the central claim that the capacity for syntactic recursion forms the computational core of a uniquely human language faculty. Here we show that European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) accurately recognize acoustic patterns defined by a recursive, self-embedding, context-free grammar. They are also able to classify new patterns defined by the grammar and reliably exclude agrammatical patterns. Thus, the capacity to classify sequences from recursive, centre-embedded grammars is not uniquely human. This finding opens a new range of complex syntactic processing mechanisms to physiological investigation.

Random matrices, continuous circular systems and the triangular operator

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We present a Hilbert space approach to the limit joint *-distributions of complex independent Gaussian random matrices. For that purpose, we use a suitably defined family of creation and annihilation operators living in some direct integral of Hilbert spaces. These operators are decomposed in terms of continuous circular systems of operators acting between the fibers of the considered Hilbert space direct integral. In the case of square matrices with i.i.d. entries, we obtain the circular operators of Voiculescu, whereas in the case of upper-triangular matrices with i.i.d. entries, we obtain the triangular operators of Dykema and Haagerup. We apply this approach to give a bijective proof of a formula for *-moments of the triangular operator, using the enumeration formula of Chauve, Dulucq and Rechnizter for alternating ordered rooted trees.
