First report of enteropathogenic and enteroinvasive <i>Escherichia coli</i> with multiple antibiotic resistance indices from African catfish (<i>Clarias glariepinus</i>) in Nigeria

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Background: There are increasing reports of food safety issues associated with intensive production of fish which increase the chances of disease outbreaks from stressful growth conditions accompanying mass production and presence of bacterial pathogens.Methodology: Two hundred gastrointestinal tract (GIT) samples from two hundred African Cat Fish (Clarias glariepinus) were assessed for the presence of enteric Escherichia coli species including E. coli 0157, Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) which are traditionally associated with infantile gastroenteritis. The antibiotic resistance profile and Multiple Antibiotic Resistance Index (MARI) for these isolates were determined. The serogrouping of the E. coli isolates was done using E. coli agglutinating sera (Oxoid) and E. coli 0157 latex reagent (Oxoid). Antibiotic susceptibility was determined according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines.Results: A total of 35 (17.5%) E. coli isolates were recovered from the fish intestines among which 9 (25.7%) were EPEC and 2 (5.7%) were EIEC. No E. coli 0157 strain was recovered. Thirty-three (94.0%) isolates had a MARI greater than 0.2. Antibiotic resistance to cefoxitin and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid were 77.1% and 74.3% respectively. All isolates were susceptible to meropenem and amikacin but all EPEC and EIEC isolates were AmpC (resistance to all penicillins, cephalosporins and beta lactamase inhibitors) positive.Conclusion: The isolation of EPEC and EIEC which can cause fatal gastroenteritis coupled with high MARI among isolates in this study represents a public health concern. Strict monitoring of administration of antibiotics in aquaculture is recommended.Keywords: EPEC; EIEC; Multiple antibiotic resistance; Aquaculture

Readiness for Organizational Change Scale: Validity and Reliability Study

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Readiness for organizational change has been extensively studied in the extant literature over the past years, and scholarly attention towards it continues to increase. Turkish researchers also utilize readiness for organizational change concept to examine the change practices enacted by Ministry of National Education. The purpose of this study is to conduct a cross-cultural adaptation of Readiness for Organizational Change (RFOC) scale into Turkish education setting. The participants of the current study included 335 teachers employed at K-12 public schools located in different provinces of Turkey. To test the construct validity of Turkish-adapted RFOC scale, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed. The results of CFA revealed that four-factor RFOC model provided good fit with the data. The internal consistency estimates of RFOC in terms of Cronbach Alpha ranged between .69 and .89. The reported estimates indicated that Turkish form of RFOC scale can be regarded as a reliable and valid instrument to measure change-readiness level of school teachers in Turkish context.
A Novel Non-Invasive Selection Criterion for the Preservation of Primitive Dutch Konik Horses

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

The Dutch Konik is valued from a genetic conservation perspective and also for its role in preservation of natural landscapes. The primary management objective for the captive breeding of this primitive horse is to maintain its genetic purity, whilst also maintaining the nature reserves on which they graze. Breeding selection has traditionally been based on phenotypic characteristics consistent with the breed description, and the selection of animals for removal from the breeding program is problematic at times due to high uniformity within the breed, particularly in height at the wither, colour (mouse to grey dun) and presence of primitive markings. With the objective of identifying an additional non-invasive selection criterion with potential uniqueness to the Dutch Konik, this study investigates the anatomic parameters of the distal equine limb, with a specific focus on the relative lengths of the individual splint bones. Post-mortem dissections performed on distal limbs of Dutch Konik (n = 47) and modern domesticated horses (n = 120) revealed significant differences in relation to the length and symmetry of the 2nd and 4th Metacarpals and Metatarsals. Distal limb characteristics with apparent uniqueness to the Dutch Konik are described which could be an important tool in the selection and preservation of the breed.
Wellbeing at work and the development of a questionnaire

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Background. Improved employee wellbeing has been suggested to contribute to individual motivation and health, as well as to corporate competitiveness (Grawitch et al, 2006). However, in order to reach these potential benefits, we need to better understand the underlying factors that create wellbeing at work and healthy work environments. Aim. The aim of the study is to explore how a sample of Swedish blue- and white collar workers interprets the concepts of healthy work environments and workplace wellbeing, as a basis for the development of a questionnaire. In addition, a second aim is to investigate the psychometric properties of the subsequent questionnaire. Method. Interviews focusing on healthy work environments and workplace wellbeing were undertaken with managers and employees (n=62) at three medium-sized companies. All interviews were verbatim transcribed and analyzed in order to identify factors reported as important for healthy work environments and workplace wellbeing. The interview findings, together with factors identified in a systematic review about indicators of healthy work environments (Lindberg & Vingård, 2012) were used to develop items for a questionnaire aimed at measuring underlying factors for workplace wellbeing. The questionnaire, including newly constructed “workplace wellbeing items” as well as well-established questions for employee health, working conditions, and organizational factors was distributed to all employees at the three companies, where 74 % (n=303) responded. A retest survey was distributed to a subsample of the participants. 86 % (n=107) responded. Preliminary results. The interview data suggested a broad spectrum of factors to be significant for establishing healthy work environments and workplace wellbeing. These factors represented six categories: Psychosocial climate; Physical working conditions; Communication; Management; Autonomy & Competence; and Values. The survey data showed that the single most important statement for workplace wellbeing was “that work- and family life can be combined in a good way”. Further psychometric properties, including reliability and factor analysis, are being conducted and will be presented at the conference. Conclusion. A healthy work environment is believed to hold great potential for both individuals and companies. With a mixed method approach this study test a set of questions measuring factors for a healthy work environment and wellbeing at work. References Grawitch MJ, Gottschalk M, Munz DC.

[Anti-inflammatory effect of N-stearoylethanolamine in experimental burn injury in rats].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The biochemical mechanisms of anti-inflammatory effect of endocannabinoid congener N-stearoylethanolamine (NSE) was studied on the model of experimental burn in rats. The animals after the thermal burn of the skin received per os during 7 days the water suspension of NSE in a doze 10 mg/kg of body weight. In the other groups of rats the suspension was applied to the wound (the concentration of NSE was 10 mg/ml). It was shown for the first time that NSE accelerated the process of burn wound healing by the inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines (TNFalpha, IL-6) production. NSE caused the normalization of the iNOS and cNOS activity and of nitrite content in plasma, erythrocytes, liver and spleen of rats. NSE also modified the antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase) activity and diminished the level of lipid peroxidation. The discovered anti-inflammatory NSE properties suggest the possibility of its usage for burn treatment.
Factors Associated with Female Online Sex Workersâ Intentions to Exit from Sex Work

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The sex work industry has evolved with the emergence of internet marketing, but little research examines sex workers who advertise online (i.e., online sex workers). This study is based on semi-structured interviews conducted in Southern California in 2014, with twenty-seven female online sex workers who provide mainstream sexual services to a male clientele. It focuses on sex workersâ perceptions of exit from sex work, and examines factors related to exit intentions, including relationships with sex work consumers, other sex workers, friends, family, and intimate partners (i.e., differential association), definitions of sex work, the perceived benefits and costs of sex work (i.e., differential reinforcement), and the prominence of and commitment to the sex worker identity. Participants varied in their perceptions of exit meaning, desirability, and feasibility. Of the 27 participants, 16 intended to exit sex work within 5 years whereas 11 had no such intentions. The study tested hypotheses informed by social learning theory in criminology and identity theory in social psychology. Support was found for most hypotheses, except those regarding the relation of differential association to other factors. In each instance, some cases deviated from the expected pattern, indicating that an expanded theoretical model is needed to explain exit from sex work.
Long-term Results of Dyslipidemia after Bariatric Surgery: A Comparison between Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Dyslipidemia is frequent in obese patients.Long-term outcomes of dyslipidemia after bariatric surgery have not been reported.Our aim is to report long-term evolution of dyslipidemia after bariatric surgery, comparing laparoscopic Roux-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) versus sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).Methods: Retrospective analysis between 2001 and 2010.Demographics, comorbidities, lipid profiles and excess weight loss (%EWL) at 5 years were retrieved, comparing values and dyslipidemia remission after LRYGB and LSG.Results: 2.416 LRYGB and 1.408 LSG patients were included.Basal demographics and comorbidities were similar between groups, except for higher body mass index in LRYGB patients.152 LRYGB and 94 LSG patients achieved 5 years follow-up, reaching 83% and 70% EWL, respectively (p<0.01).Long-term dyslipidemia remission for LRYGB and LSG was achieved in 60% and 25% for total cholesterol; 80% and 57% for LDL-cholesterol; 80% and 92% for low HDL-cholesterol and 74% and 59% for triglycerides, respectively.Multivariate analysis showed that total cholesterol and triglycerides were significantly lower in LRYGB patients (p<0.05) at the fifth year.LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol showed no differences between groups (p=0.08 and 0.33, respectively). Conclusion:At long-term, bariatric surgery reach an acceptable remission or improvement of dyslipidemia, especially for total cholesterol and triglycerides after LRYGB compared to LSG.
Submicrosecond core memories using multiple coincidence

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Memories using toroidal ferrite cores with cycle timies less than a microsecond are described; the selection ratio is increased by the use of biasing and the multiple coincidence principles of Minnick and Ashenhurst.1 It is shown that this mode of operation leads to important changes in the structure of the store; in particular, the classical core switch does not fulfll the new requirements. The ``two-core switch'' is then briefly described; it permits an elegant and economic solution of the problems arising at high selection ratios. Details of the design and operation of memories embodying these ideas are given; it is shown, for example, that standard core memory matrices can be used very efficiently at a selection ratio of 3:1 to achieve a cycle time of 2 microseconds. Further illustrations are given from a model of a 100×100 store operated at 4:1 and 7:1 selection ratios, and it is shown that a store of 10,000 8-bit characters with a cycle time of 0.25 microsecond is feasible.
[Importance of the components of the complex ester group for the action of acetylcholine and dicarboxylic acid dicholine esters].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The substitution of ether oxygen by a methylene group in the acetylcholine molecule sharply decreases the muscarinic action, while the substitution of the carbonyl group by a methylene one reduces the nicotinic properties. Sebacoyldicholine possesses only nicotinic properties. The replacement of its ether oxygens by methylene groups lowers the stimulant action on the frog rectus abdominis muscle by two orders of magnitude, whereas the stimulant action on the cat sympathetic ganglion is 30-fold as decreased. The blocking action on the isolated rat diaphragm becomes 30-fold less potent, but the blocking action on the cat skeletal muscle remains as strong as that of sebacoyldicholine after cholinesterase inhibition. The replacement of sebacoyldicholine carbonyl groups makes the compound elicit a noncompetitive cholinolytic action on the frog muscle, while the blocking action on the cat skeletal muscle becomes as weak as that exerted by hexadecamethylene-bis-trimethyammonium.
THE META MODEL CONSTRAINT REMOVAL PROTOCOL: VIRTUAL REALITY FAIRNESS FOR WAR GAME NETWORKED EXERCISE

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Virtual Reality is defined as the process of turning an event into a reality by creating the illusionary effects necessary to make a person believe the event is occumng. In War Games such as ARPA’s STOW(Synthetic Theatre Of War) Program the virtual reality of the interaction or completion of the exercises within the games can be described by the congestion controlled fairness criteria for the Sub Game Perfect Theory equilibrium points, analogous to the computer networking power point. This operating point criteria for removing constraints at the conclusion of exercises allows the Lagrangian optimization to continue unconstrained minimization of delay for the platform terminal protocols. The Meta Model Constraint RemovJ(MMCR) Protocol was developed to enable access of Silicon Graphics Computer Network platforms to perform War Game Exercises with the Defense Simulation Intemetwork(DS1) ST(Sueam) Protocol or the Intemetwork RSVP Protocol. The internal section of the MMCR Protocol utilizes latency and capacity measurements coordinated with computer networking fairness, wavelet theory decision tree performance evaluation, fractal data compression theory and Category theory admissibility and construction specifications to enable the operation of this virtual overlay protocol with Strategic Game theory, and Minimax and Maximin Game Theory. The outer section of the MMCR Protocol begins at the input to the VR Data Glove with the Two Person Zero Sum Game Theory and concludes with the subgame perfect theory at the VR Data Glove Output. L OVERVIEW OF IMGTAMODELMEAWREMENT OF PERFORM~NCE REQUIREMEN% CONCEPT THEORY FOR THE SDI NTB Referring to Figure 1, the META MODEL [26] Stratagic Defense Initiative Organization software protocol theory for National Test Bed simulation decided which modules are running on which processors and the connectivity between the analyzer resources. Using neural network stress control theory[27], the META MODEL leamed from the multiple NTB simulation executions[26] to compute an estimate of the resources available during different time frames connected with different topological sections of the simulation, by monitoring the results of the simulation from the running time measurements of the simulation. Therefore, the META MODEL determined the resources to formalize the simulation goals achieved by monitoring network information measures during running time for information storage, and time complexity measurement optimization. This operation of the Distributed Simulation also required the provision of inputs to the neural networking protocol architecture to observe run times to perform predictions based on this run time. The META MODEL simulated the real and artificial simulation of the SDS system, performing capacity planning by illustrating the effects of the simulation modules I

Application of VGG Architecture to Detect Korean Syllables Based on Image Text

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Korean culture began to spread widely throughout the world, ranging from lifestyle, music, food, and drinks, and there are still many exciting things from this Korean culture. One of the interesting things to learn is to know Korean letters (Hangul), which are non-Latin characters. If the Hangul letters have been learned, the next thing that lay people must learn is the Korean syllables, which are different from the Indonesian syllables. Because of the difficulty of learning Korean syllables, understanding a sentence needed a system to recognize Korean syllables. Therefore, in this study designing a system to acknowledge Korean syllables, the method used is Convolutional Neural Network with VGG architecture. The system performs the process of detecting Korean syllables based on models that have been trained using 72 syllable classes. The tests on 72 Korean syllable classes obtain an average accuracy of 96%, an average precision value of 96%, an average recall value of 100%, and an average F1 score of 98%.
A meta‐analysis of the effect on maternal health of upright positions during the second stage of labour, without routine epidural analgesia

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Aim To detect the effect on maternal health of upright positions during the second stage of labour. Background Maternal position during labour has an important effect on maternal and foetal health. Design A meta‐analysis was used based on the Cochrane Handbook. Data sources Randomized/non‐randomized clinical trials were searched with English and Turkish key words in databases ( CINAHL , Medline, Science Direct, Springer Link, Ovid, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Networked Digital Library of Theses & Dissertations, Proquest, ULAKBİM (Turkish Academic Network and Information Center) and YÖK (Turkish Council of Higher Education) (1970‐December 2015). Review methods According to inclusion criteria, eligible studies were identified. Data extraction was performed and the bias risks of the studies were assessed independently by two authors. The publication bias of the main outcomes was examined. The overall effect size was calculated by risk ratio with a random effects model. Statistical heterogeneity tests and sensitivity analyses were performed. Results The criteria for the meta‐analysis were met by 22 articles. It was detected that the ratio of instrumental labour and episiotomy was lower but the haemorrhage ratio was higher in women. There was no statistical effect of upright position on the other maternal outcomes. Conclusion The reductions in these ratios improved comfort. Due to methodological shortcomings of the studies, the increased ratio of postpartum haemorrhage should be interpreted with caution. Researchers are recommended to conduct studies rigorously. In addition, healthcare professionals are recommended to decide the appropriate birth position by considering the individual risk factors and preferences of the women.
Revenue Sources and Local Government Employment

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This note explores the relationship between variations in local government employment patterns and grant-in-aid receipts for three time periods, 1957–1962, 1962–1967, and 1967–1972. Three dimensions of local government employment patterns are explored: per capita payroll costs, average monthly wage per employee, and the number of public employees per capita. The methodology of this note follows the “determinants” analyses of public expenditure levels. The relationships between revenue sources and local government employment practices assume different forms in different time periods.
Intergenerational Ambivalence from Adolescence to Young Adulthood: Implications for Well-being

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The parent-child relationship is often characterized by ambivalence, defined as the simultaneous experience of positive and negative relationship quality. This study examines reports of intergenerational ambivalence among adolescents, emerging adults, and young adults and the implications of ambivalence for well-being over a 12 year period. Participants ranging in age from 13 to 29 completed surveys in 1992 and again in 2005. Results indicate that overall, offspring’s feelings of ambivalence decreased over time (between Wave 1 and Wave 2). Ambivalence towards mothers and fathers predicted greater depressive symptoms over time. These results suggest that later well-being is vulnerable to the quality of the parent-child relationship in early life.
