Sampling for species collection was carried out from April 2017 to September 2018 at different distances from the forest center, i.e., (0-500 m), forest mid-interior (501-1000 m), and forest edge (1001-3000 m). A total of 975 adults were collected frequently belonging to the families Ascalaphidae, Coniopterygidae, and Hemerobiidae from the forest edges while Chrysopidae and Myrmeleontidae were most common along the mid-interior regions of the forest. Majority of adutls caught from the mid-interior region comprised of female adults while the males of most species were abundant along the forest edges. Although the forest center shows the largest value for the Dominance species-diversity index and the smallest value for the Shannon index, forest edge was found highest for the Simpson index. The abundance of Neuroptera decreased with wind speed but increased with the temperature in the edge regions. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated that some environmental and habitat variables, e.g. wind speed, temperature, and distance to the forest center, mid-interior and edge, accounted for species distribution patterns in Neuroptera. In the forest center, a linear correlation between wind speed, temperature and specimen abundance was recorded, while these factors were found negatively correlated with specimens abundance in the mid-interior regions of the forest. © 2020 The Author(s).Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) play important roles to decode the genetic information contained in mRNA in the process of translation. selleck chemical The tRNA molecules possess conserved nucleotides at specific position to regulate the unique function. However, several nucleotides at different position of the tRNA undergo modification to maintain proper stability and function. The major modifications include the presence of pseudouridine (Ψ) residue instead of uridine and the presence of m5-methylation sites. We found that, Ψ13 is conserved in D-stem, whereas Ψ38 & Ψ39 were conserved in the anti-codon loop (AL) and anti-codon arm (ACA), respectively. Furthermore, Ψ55 found to be conserved in the Ψ loop. Although, fourteen possible methylation sites can be found in the tRNA, cyanobacterial tRNAs were found to possess conserved G9, m3C32, C36, A37, m5C38 and U54 methylation sites. The presence of multiple conserved methylation sites might be responsible for providing necessary stability to the tRNA. The evolutionary study revealed, tRNAMet and tRNAIle were evolved earlier than other tRNA isotypes and their evolution is date back to at least 4000 million years ago. The presence of novel pseudouridination and m5-methylation sites in the cyanobacterial tRNAs are of particular interest for basic biology. Further experimental study can delineate their functional significance in protein translation. © 2019 The Author(s).This study was aimed to assess the bioaccumulation and concentration level of three heavy metals such as Chromium (Cr), Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) in the riverine water and edible fish, Channa punctatus obtained from River Kosi, Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, India. These toxic heavy metals are released into the environment because of E-waste, industrial activities, municipal urban runoff, coal burning, fertilizers etc., then paved the way into the aquatic system due to direct input, atmospheric deposition, and erosions caused by rain. There is every apprehension of aquatic animals getting exposed to elevated levels of heavy metals, thus possessing harmful effects both to flora and fauna. The concentrations of Cd, Cr and Pb in water were found to be 0.051 ± 0.026, 1.091 ± 0.408, and 0.019 ± 0.002 whereas in the kidneys of Channa punctatus, as 0.076 ± 0.208, 0.482 ± 0.059, and 0.127 ± 0.705 respectively. © 2020 The Authors.Palynology, which is the study of pollen and spores in an archaeological or geological context, has become a well-established research tool leading to many significant scientific developments. The term palynomorph includes pollen of spermatophytes, spores of fungi, ferns, and bryophytes, as well as other organic-walled microfossils, such as dinoflagellates and acritarches. Advances in plant genomics have had a high impact on the field of forensic botany. Forensic palynology has also been used and applied more recently to criminal investigation in a meaningful way. However, the use of pollen DNA profiling in forensic investigations has yet to be applied. There were earlier uses of dust traces in some forensic analyses that considered pollen as a type of botanical dust debris. Pollen grains can be studied for comparative morphological data, clues to unexpected aspects relating to breeding systems, pollination biology and hybridization. This can provide a better understanding of the entire biology of the group under investigation. Forensic palynology refers to the use of pollen and other spores when it is used as evidence in legal cases to resolve criminal issues by proving or disproving relationships between people and crime scenes. This overview describes the various contributions and the significance of palynology, its applications, different recent approaches and how it could be further employed in solving criminal investigations. © 2020 The Author(s).Introduction In a global context of an increasing and aging population, along with environmental changes, nurses play an important role in relieving suffering among vulnerable people and groups in society. Sustainability in nursing contributes to sustainable development through providing an environment that is not detrimental to/protects present and future generations' opportunities for good health. There is a global shortage of nurses, and it has been shown that, locally, every fifth newly graduated nurse considers leaving their new profession five years after graduation. The aim was to describe how nursing students' thought about a sustainable professional life as nurses before their graduation. Materials and Methods A qualitative design with a written data set was used, and a thematic analysis was performed. One hundred five students (80 women and 25 men) in semester six out of six of the nursing education program participated. Results The analysis resulted in three themes 1) to have an ethical foundation that guides the individual nurse in protecting the nursing care and developing the nursing care for their patients; 2) to be in a listening, reflexive and supportive workplace enabling a professional nurse to continuously grow and learn and 3) to be a proud professional nurse with integrity, not risking with their own health or personal professional development. Conclusion The nursing students describe their thoughts on the requirements for having a sustainable professional life as nurses as having a strong inner ethical compass to help guide, protect and develop the nursing care for the patients. In addition, it requires a workplace with a reflexive and supporting culture. However, the nursing students also put their own health and the opportunities for professional growth at the top of their priorities, and if these conditions are lacking, they will switch to another workplace. © 2020 Hägg-Martinell et al.Purpose Communication skills education is still relatively new in some non-Western countries. Further, most evaluation research on communication skills education examines only short-term results. In our communication skills program in Qatar, we aimed to 1) assess the impact of the communication skills course on participant skills application; 2) assess the length of time since course completion associated with participant skills application; and 3) assess participant gender or clinical position associated with participant skills application. Methods Seven hundred and thirty-eight physicians completed a seven-module communication skills course. Participants reflected on what they learned in the course and how the course had impacted their behavior through a nine-item online survey that included a four-item Communication Workshop Impact Scale (CWIS), three open questions, and two demographic questions. To assess the effect of time since workshop on outcomes, we stratified the respondents into five groups based wer scores than did fellows. Furthermore, most physicians (92%) were able to name something specific that they had learned from the course and were currently implementing in their practice. Positive outcomes of the course did not seem to diminish over time. Future research should identify whether observable communication behavior matches the self-reported behavior. © 2020 Bylund et al.Study Objectives Sleep duration is an important marker of sleep quality and overall sleep health. Both too little and too much sleep are associated with poorer health outcomes. We hypothesized that ethnicity-specific differences in sleep duration exist. Methods This cross-sectional study utilized questionnaire data from the Ontario Health Study (OHS), a multi-ethnic population-based cohort of Canadian adult residents aged 18 to 99 years, who provided medical, socio-demographic, and sleep information. Generalised linear models were used to investigate the association of sleep duration with ethnicity. Results The study sample consisted of 143,307 adults (60.4% women). The sample was multi-ethnic, including self-identified Aboriginal, Arab, Black, Chinese, Filipino, Hispanic, Japanese, Korean, Mixed (>1 ethnicity), South Asian, South-East Asian, West Asian, and White ethnicities. Univariate analyses found that mean sleep duration compared to the White reference group (7.34 hours) was shorter in the Filipino (6.9propriately for ethnicity in future epidemiological, clinical, and translational research into sleep and related conditions. © 2020 Singh et al.Introduction The majority of pregnant women in Georgia attend the free-of-charge, national antenatal care (ANC) programme, but over 5% of pregnancies in the country are unattended. Moreover, Georgia has one of the highest perinatal mortality (PM) rates in Europe (11.7/1000 births). Purpose To assess the association between unattended pregnancies and the risk of PM. Methods Data were extracted from the Georgian Birth Registry (GBR) and the national vital registration system. All mothers who had singleton births and delivered in medical facilities in Georgia in 2017-2018 were included in the study and categorised into attended pregnancies (at least one ANC visit during pregnancy) and unattended pregnancies (no ANC visits during pregnancy). After exclusions, the study sample included 101,663 women and their newborns, of which 1186 were either stillborn or died within 7 days. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the effect of unattended pregnancies on PM. Results During the study period, the PM rate was 12.9/1000 births. In total, 5.6% of women had unattended pregnancies. The odds of PM among women with unattended pregnancies were more than double those among women with attended pregnancies (odds ratio=2.21, [95% confidence interval 1.81-2.70]). Multiparous women with higher education and who resided/delivered outside of Tbilisi were significantly less likely to experience PM. Conclusion The risk of PM doubled among women with unattended pregnancies. Six percent of PM cases were attributable to unattended pregnancies. Targeting women with previous unattended pregnancies will likely reduce the PM rate in Georgia. © 2020 Manjavidze et al.
