The Kinetic responses and foraging behavior of Drosophila melanogaster larvae
Adaptive responses in larval behavior may be of two kinds:
Taxis: This involves a change in direction relative to source of a stimulus. Kinesis: Kinesis has no directional component, but involves change in the rate of performance in response to a stimulus. Drosophila larvae exhibited flexible behavioral responses associated with food acquisition and selection for different environmental conditions. In this investigation, we are concerned explosively with kinetic responses to food viability. Third instar larvae were subjected to test for thirty minutes in each of the following conditions i) in distilled water, ii) in Ringer's solution, iii) in glucose solution and on live yeast suspension. In each case the larva was in a thin layer of solution, or suspension over agar gel. On non – nutritive substrates, such as distilled water the predominant behavior is locomotion accompanied by exploratory movements foraging for food. When food is encountered the predominant behavior shifts from locomotion to feeding by sustained rhythmic scooping with the mouth hooks. Locomotore activity remains constant on yeast but immediately rises on transfer to Ringer's solution over the observation period. This is orthokinesis. On transfer to glucose solution larvae again show the instant rise in locomotion, but remains at a constant level with no evidence of an orthokinetic response. Feeding activity rate remains constant on yeast whereas in Ringer's solution we observe another kinetic response, for which we propose the term fagokinesis. This response is not observed when larvae were transferred to glucose solution

MTS2Graph: Interpretable Multivariate Time Series Classification with Temporal Evolving Graphs
Conventional time series classification approaches based on bags of patterns
or shapelets face significant challenges in dealing with a vast amount of
feature candidates from high-dimensional multivariate data. In contrast, deep
neural networks can learn low-dimensional features efficiently, and in
particular, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have shown promising results in
classifying Multivariate Time Series (MTS) data. A key factor in the success of
deep neural networks is this astonishing expressive power. However, this power
comes at the cost of complex, black-boxed models, conflicting with the goals of
building reliable and human-understandable models. An essential criterion in
understanding such predictive deep models involves quantifying the contribution
of time-varying input variables to the classification. Hence, in this work, we
introduce a new framework for interpreting multivariate time series data by
extracting and clustering the input representative patterns that highly
activate CNN neurons. This way, we identify each signal's role and
dependencies, considering all possible combinations of signals in the MTS
input. Then, we construct a graph that captures the temporal relationship
between the extracted patterns for each layer. An effective graph merging
strategy finds the connection of each node to the previous layer's nodes.
Finally, a graph embedding algorithm generates new representations of the
created interpretable time-series features. To evaluate the performance of our
proposed framework, we run extensive experiments on eight datasets of the
UCR/UEA archive, along with HAR and PAM datasets. The experiments indicate the
benefit of our time-aware graph-based representation in MTS classification
while enriching them with more interpretability
Exploring Resource-Based Actor Engagement in Microfinance Institutions: The Service-Dominant Logic Perspective
Actor engagement is an emerging area of research in service-dominant logic yet equated with the traditional view of customer engagement. The narrow explanation of cognitive and emotional perspectives obstructs the theory building to further understand the resource-based perspective of actor engagement, thus warranting an inductive inquiry. The interrelated categorization is also a missing link in the literature, and this study fills this gap. This qualitative study explores antecedents of actor engagement with a resource-based perspective at pre, core, and post-service encounters. While adopting the qualitative Gioia methodology, twenty-five customers of microfinance institutions were interviewed to explore the phenomenon. Our study reveals that in the pre-resource integration phase, the value fit and actors\u27 dexterity are the antecedents that bring actor engagement. The alignment of integrated resources and service interaction disposition ensures engagement at the resource-integration phase, whereas, in the post-integration phase, actor engagement is affected by the service outcome. Furthermore, the actors\u27 association with networks influences the engagement, and information gateways interconnect all three phases. This study offers four unique propositions to explain interrelated resource-based actor engagement. Microfinance institutions moving towards digital banking can adopt the study findings to redesign engaging strategies at an actor-to-actor level to ensure brand loyalty and commitment. Researchers can quantitatively test the proposed propositions for further conceptual advancement
EFFECTIVENESS OF GIVING MORINGA LEAF EXTRACT (MORINGA OLEIFERA) IN REDUCING BLOOD PRESSURE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Hypertension, which is an increase in blood pressure, has a prevalence based on Riskesdas in 2018 at the age ≥18 years, which is around 34.1%. Various treatment methods have been developed because if hypertension is not treated it can cause symptoms and serious complications. Other than using chemical drugs such as beta-blockers or ACE inhibitors, people are starting to consider therapy with natural ingredients such as Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera). It contains compounds that have an antihypertensive effect such as flavonoids and potassium. This study aims to determine the compound, effectiveness, and mechanism of Moringa leaf as an antihypertensive by using a systematic review method. This method is carried out by searching literature using certain keywords based on PRISMA-P, and then data from ten literatures is extracted to be discussed and concluded based on the objectives. The result, obtained various compounds in Moringa leaf extract have certain mechanisms in lowering blood pressure such as flavonoid compounds, such as kaempferol and quercetin, as well as other compounds such as several organic acids, potassium, and alkaloids. Moringa leaf extract also effectively lowers blood pressure in animals and humans with different doses. This study concludes that the administration of Moringa leaf extract can effectively reduce blood pressure due to the antihypertensive mechanism caused by the phytochemical content

Influence of Coopetition on Firm Financial Performance: Mediating Role of Open Innovation Performance
It is essential for a firm to take advantage of the rising phenomenon of coopetition across multiple firms and marketplaces in today's highly competitive climate to enhance its financial performance. Hence, this study contributes to the existing body of literature by probing the link between coopetition and the success of open innovation initiatives in Pakistani SMEs. The failure of Pakistani SMEs to establish a controlled method of coopetition has had a deleterious effect on financial performance. The current research is conducted to identify the low open innovation problem in Pakistani small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which has a negative effect on financial performance. It aims to investigate the impact of coopetition on financial performance and the mediating function of the firm’s open innovation performance in it. To achieve this objective, a survey employing a cross-sectional research design was conducted. The respondents were selected from SMEs operating in the service sector in the cities of Bahawalpur, Multan, and Lodhran in Pakistan. A total of 155 questionnaires were distributed among managerial employees of the above SMEs. The data collected from the responses to the questionnaires was analyzed through Partial Least Square-Structure Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). It was found that coopetition has a strong role in boosting financial performance. The importance of trust and dependence in crafting an effective coopetition strategy is also emphasized in this research
