The microhabitat preferences of Trichoptera in rivers in north-western Spain

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

We analysed the microhabitat preferences of caddisfly species in four rivers in north-western Spain. In each river, we sampled five sites with different types of substrate. These sites were characterised in situ according to the predominant material type (macrophytes, moss, pebbles and sand). A one-way ANOVA was used to test for significant differences in species abundance among substrates, and a nested ANOVA was used to test for significant differences in physical and chemical variables among rivers and sampling sites. A similarity percentage-species contribution analysis was performed to estimate the contribution of each species to the characterisation of each substrate. We observed significant differences in the abundance of seven species (Drusus bolivari, Glossosoma privatum, Larcasia partita, Micrasema longulum, M. servatum, M. gr. moestum and Sericostoma sp.) among substrates, confirming that these species have substrate preferences. According to similarity percentage-species contribution, the species that contributed most to differences were as follows: for sand, Sericostoma sp.; for macrophytes, Rhyacophila adjuncta, Hydropsyche ambigua, Sericostoma sp.; for moss, Micrasema gr. moestum, M. servatum, M. longulum, Hydropsyche tibialis and R. adjuncta; and for pebbles, Sericostoma sp., Larcasia partita and H. tibialis. These preferences can be explained by the fact that different species use different materials from the substrate to build their cases and also as a source of stability, protection and food.

Similarly, the customer understanding aspect, target accuracy aspect, and timeliness aspect each partially influence customer interest in these services. When considered together, the service quality variables—comprising the service aspect, customer understanding aspect, target accuracy aspect, and timeliness aspect—have a positive and significant effect on customer interest in using mobile banking and internet banking.
Impact of involvement in athletics upon leadership preferences among selected Rowan University athletes

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The purpose of the study was to assess the level and attitudes of involvement of selected Rowan University student-athletes and any significant relationships between involvement and preferences among five dimensions of leadership. Involvement included activities such as academics, athletics, on and off campus occupations, religious organizations, professional clubs, and other organizations found on campus. Demographic factors were also studied including age, class level, role on team, ethnicity, gender, and participation in a specific sport. The five dimensions of leadership studied were autocratic behavior, democratic behavior, positive feedback, social support, and training and instruction.\nThe researcher surveyed 210 student-athletes at Rowan University during the 2007-2008 academic year. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to calculate descriptive statistics, and Pearson correlations between demographics, attitudes of involvement, and leadership dimensions. The study provides insight on the amount of time and attitudes of Rowan University student-athletes regarding involvement. The study also provides insight on Rowan University student-athletes leadership preferences and demographic variables. The relationship between the leadership patterns and the student-athletes' attitudes toward involvement was studied as well. Significant relationships were detected between the leadership patterns of Rowan University student-athletes and the attitudes toward social, academic, and campus involvement. A significant relationship was found between student-athletes and the preference of the training and instruction dimension of leadership.
Analysis of the proteome and the secretome of animal trypanosomes : a standardized analytical method to look for new molecular targets

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

The causative agents of animal trypanosomosis are various species of protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Trypanosoma, among which T. congolense and T. evansi are the major pathogenic species. The extra cellular position of the trypanosomes implies to consider both the parasite and its excretedsecreted factors in the course of the physiopathological processes. Proteome (i.e. parasite constitutive proteins) and secretome (i.e. naturally excreted-secreted proteins) analysis need to be conducted in parallel to identify key trypanosome¿s proteins potentially involved in both virulence and pathogenicity. We developed and standardised a method to produce purified proteome and secretome of the two sub-genus Trypanozoon and Nannomonas. The protocol is based on the production of trypanosome bloodstream forms by infection of naturally immunosupressed rodents (Nude/SOPF®) and incubated in a defined secretion medium that mimics the blood biochemical environment deprived of cells and macromolecules. Supernatants representing secretome are separated from parasites pellets representing proteome by centrifugation and filtration and both are conditioned for further analysis in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. The defined secretion medium appears to reduced expression of stress proteins. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) analysis of secretomes in particular confirmed both the differences observed in 1-D gels and the high reproducibility between secretome batches of a same trypanosome strain. The molecular identification of differentially expressed trypanosomes molecules correlated with either the virulence process or the pathogenicity will provide new potential molecular targets.
STUDY ON THE ULTRASTRUCTURE AND ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE ACTIVITY IN VON RECKLINGHAUSEN'S NEUROFIBROMATOSIS

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The cutaneous nodules obtained from seven patients with von Reckling‐hausen's neurofibromatosis were investigated by electron microscopy, and ultrastructural localization of acetylcholinesterase activity was demonstrated in the nerve fibers of this tumor for the first time using Karnovsky's thiocholine method. The enzymatic activity was mainly found in unmyelinated fibers, exactly associated with their axonal membranes, the interspace between the apposing axonal and Schwann cell membrane, and some different mesaxons, which indicated their cholinergic nature. Almost all myelinated fibers and some unmyelinated fibers did not possess the activity. The relationship between axon and Schwann cell was quite similar to that of normal peripheral nervous system, but two striking alterations of the nerves existed: One is the dissociation of unmyelinated fibers, and the other is the degenerative changes of the axon and the myelin sheath. As the evidence of schwannian proliferation, onion bulb formations and collagen pockets were observed. Some signs of fibroblastic proliferation were also found. From the present study and the review of the literature, the probable histogenesis of this disease was discussed.
Inter-Cloud application migration and portability using Linux containers for better resource provisioning and interoperability

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In a cloud computing environment, availability, efficient resource utilization, fault tolerance and feasible resource provisioning is of primary concern. There are certain situations in which a virtual machine is running on top of a physical host and needs to be migrated for various reasons such as maintenance or lack of hardware resource availability. Live application migration is one of the widely used technique to address these concerns and this is achieved by migrating virtual machines over a network to another physical host. But migrating a virtual machine over a network uses up the bandwidth because along with the application an operating system is also transferred which adds as an overhead along with the application. A Linux container on the other hand is much more lighter since it uses the underlying operating system making it a prominent candidate for application migration. In this research paper application migration is done by migrating a Linux container over a network by considering the following factors: 1) Availability of the underlying network. 2) Consideration of total changes in the while migration 3) Availability of compute time in the destination host. The paper also sheds a light into the possibility of migrating a work load easily without thinking of the huge cost and time associated with migration of application among nodes.

Current state of the judicial system of the Russian Orthodox Church

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The article examines the state of the judicial system of the Russian Orthodox Church in accordance with current legal acts. The author examines the compatibility of the fundamental principles of the Church's existence with the mechanism of functioning of judicial bodies. The definition of ecclesiastical courts is specified ex negativo by categorical differentiation of the essence and competence of state courts, as well as the confessional "court of conscience". The current legislation of the ROC in relation to the judicial power is being investigated on the basis of the ROC Charter and the Regulations on the ROC ecclesiastical court. The main principles, goals and objectives of Church justice, the hierarchy of legal acts and judicial authorities, the rights and obligations of participants in judicial processes, the entry into legal force of decisions of Church courts and the procedure for appealing them to higher instances are announced. Particular attention is paid to current problems of Church law, in particular the principle of delegating judicial powers to lower-level bodies of Church justice, the question of whether the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church has judicial powers, textual contradictions in the Charter and Regulations on the Church court and how to resolve them, as well as access to various levels of judicial power and the specifics of legal proceedings. The author outlines a range of issues of Church law that hinder the improvement of the quality and effectiveness of Church justice and therefore await prompt competent resolution.
A novel method for post-partum IUD insertion

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The impact of unplanned or mistimed pregnancies is a health risk for the mother and the child and places a huge financial burden on societies ($21B in US alone). Contraceptives, in all forms, are designed to alleviate this but 84% of modern contraceptive needs are unmet globally, and the burden is worsening as populations grow. Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) are highly effective long-acting removable contraceptives (LARCs) with low failure rates (0.2% - 0.8%). Though scientific evidence exists which supports the efficacy of commercially available IUDs, clinicians do not recommend nor provide IUD insertion immediately postpartum, due to its high expulsion rate (9% - 30%) from the uteri of post-placental (PP), postpartum mothers. Most women say this happens during daily activities. This is due to the structure of the IUD no longer confining to the shape of the uterus and hence falling off due to the contractile forces of the uterus and the gravitational force acting on the IUD. The objective of this project is to develop a safe, efficient and effective method of tethering IUDs to fundal walls of postpartum females, such that the IUD remains securely attached to the fundus through contractile and gravitational forces (~0.49 mN ) during the puerperal period (4 to 6 weeks PP delivery). This will drastically reduce IUD expulsion rates while eliminating the need for the patient to return to her healthcare provider specifically for the IUD implantation procedure in the post puerperal period. IUD tethering was performed using ex-vivo tissue models to establish the safety and efficacy of the method (device). Analysis was conducted to find the maximum insertion force required and optimum possible retention forces by the tissue-suture interaction in a dynamic loading condition for two different types of insertions, namely linear and spiral, and indicated that V-LOC 3-0 Gauge suture paired with a 25 Gauge spiral hypodermic needle gives the maximum retention force. A comprehensive survey established clinician satisfaction with the device and ease of use.
Characterization of quenched fluorescent triple helical peptides for MMP-2 and MMP-9 optical imaging

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

The prevalence of the gelatinases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, in many human tumors, including breast, colorectal, prostate and gastric cancer, make them an attractive target for molecular imaging. A self assembling homotrimeric triple helical peptide (THP), incorporating sequences from type V collagen with high specificity to MMP-2 and MMP-9, was previously developed. To investigate the viability of a THP for gelatinase imaging, we conjugated 5FAM to ..-amino groups of lysine flanking the hydrolysis site and subjected this substrate (THP-5FAM) to vitro analysis. The synthesis and in vitro results was presented.
Automatic vein measurement by ultrasonography to prevent peripheral intravenous catheter failure for clinical practice using artificial intelligence: development and evaluation study of an automatic detection method based on deep learning

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objectives Complications due to peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) can be assessed using ultrasound imaging; however, it is not routinely conducted due to the need for training in image reading techniques. This study aimed to develop and validate a system that automatically measures blood vessel diameters on ultrasound images using artificial intelligence (AI) and provide recommendations for selecting an implantation site. Design Pilot study. Setting The University of Tokyo Hospital, Japan. Primary and secondary outcome measures First, based on previous studies, the vessel diameter was calculated as the mean value of the maximum long diameter plus the maximum short diameter orthogonal to it. Second, the size of the PIVC to be recommended was evaluated based on previous studies. For the development and validation of an automatic detection tool, we used a fully convoluted network for automatic estimation of vein location and diameter. The agreement between manually generated correct data and automatically estimated data was assessed using Pearson’s product correlation coefficient, systematic error was identified using the Bland-Altman plot, and agreement between catheter sizes recommended by the research nurse and those recommended by the system was evaluated. Results Through supervised machine learning, automated determination was performed using 998 ultrasound images, of which 739 and 259 were used as the training and test data set, respectively. There were 24 false-negatives indicating no arteries detected and 178 true-positives indicating correct detection. Correlation of the results between the system and the nurse was calculated from the 178 images detected (r=0.843); no systematic error was identified. The agreement between the sizes of the PIVC recommended by the research nurse and the system was 70.2%; 7% were underestimated and 21.9% were overestimated. Conclusions Our automated AI-based image processing system may aid nurses in assessing peripheral veins using ultrasound images for catheterisation; however, further studies are still warranted.t
Mapping of VEPs and ERG responses to punctual stimulations in the visual field.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Visual field projection maps were obtained using retinal and cortical EP amplitude values. Single meridian investigations were also performed. Stimulation was done with punctual photic stimuli delivered by the LED perimeter built for the purpose. Schedule with 28 stimulation loci was adopted. The B wave of the average ERG and P100 component of the cortical VEP were measured. The maps were obtained by interpolation of amplitude values on a grid of 21 x 21 characters. By comparing the retinal and cortical visual field maps, conclusions regarding the normality of visual structures (peripheral or central) can be drawn. Our procedure adds to the previous data on visual field investigation (cynetic or static) important elements concerning vision electrophysiology.
Workplace Social Support and Attitude toward Enterprise Resource Planning System

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

To respond to competitive environment, many organizations have invested in enterprise resource planning system in order to improve workflow and increase the efficiency of shared services for the last two decades. Nevertheless, most organizations often fail to utilize and explore the new information system's functionalities to achieve their expected objectives as promised. This brutal fact reveals implicitly that there is an urgent need to improve the knowledge of understanding why and how employees accept and use new information systems. Particularly, in many cases, the reasons for the new information system's failure are neglecting social factors and a lack of change management. In view of such, the main aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between workplace social support and employee's attitude toward enterprise resource planning system from the perspective of organizational change. Results from a sample of 334 respondents in Taiwan revealed that workplace social support not only influences employee's attitude towards enterprise resource planning system directly, but also exerts its influences indirectly via affective commitment to organization and affective commitment to change.
Strong lensing by edge-on galaxies in UNIONS

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Current searches for galaxy-scale strong lenses focus on massive Luminous Red Galaxies but tend to overlook late-type lenses, in part because of their smaller Einstein radii. We take advantage of the superb seeing of the UNIONS survey in the r -band to perform an imaging search for edge-on late-type lenses. We use Convolutional Neural Networks trained with simulated observations composed of images of real galaxies from UNIONS and real sources from HST. Using 3600 square degrees of the survey we test ∼7 million galaxies and find 56 systems with obvious signs of lensing. In addition, we empirically estimate the true prevalence of lenses in UNIONS by visually inspecting 120,000 randomly chosen images in the survey. We find that the number of edge-on lenses we discover with CNNs is compatible with these estimates.
AIDS and children: Some of the issues in haemophilia care and how to address them

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Haemophilia is a life-long, life-threatening inherited condition for which there is treatment but no cure. It affects not only the patient but all members of the family. This paper focuses on how AIDS/HIV, which shares these characteristics with haemophilia, has affected children with HIV, their siblings, those who have remained antibody negative and those with HIV infected fathers. The impact of haemophilia and AIDS on the family is considered and the ripple effect of AIDS on health care staff is addressed.
Słowotwórstwo i funkcjonowanie imion osobowych we współczesnej polszczyźnie

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Christian names constitute a set which is, to some extent, internally \narranged due to the parallelism of feminine and masculine forms and to their \nspecific statistical structure. The immediate derivatives of formal (official) \nnames and further derivatives are formed by means of 1) back derivation; \nLena < Magdalena: 2) alternation derivation: Agacia < Agata; 3) suffix \nderivation: Janeczek < Janek < Jan; 4) paradigmatic derivation Ewuś < Ewusia, \nPiotrunia < Piotrunio. In groups 2 and 3 derivation may be accompanied \nby mutilation (i.e. non-morphological word deformation). The characteristic \nfeatures of name derivation are the following: polymorphism of stems and \nderivational formatives homcphony of derivatives from different names \nrange of formal means [obtaining the same derivative from different derivational \nsequences. Christian names can be dealt with from the point of view of their emotional and stylistic values. The fundamental opposition within \nthe emotional value is the one: emotionally specified vs. unspecified opposition. \nIn the case of the stylistic value the fundamental one is the opposition \nof official forms vs. unofficial ones. All name forms, however, are \nto some extent, stylistically specified even for their limited range of use.
