Investigation of Correlation Between Demographic Features of University Students and Psychological Symptoms with Non Linear Canonical Correlation Analyze

AbstractThe main purpose of the study is to investigate the correlation between demographic features of education faculty students and psychological symptoms. The study was carried out with 638 female, 530 male, totally 1168 students who were the students of Sakarya University Education Faculty in 2010-2011 academic year. Nonlinear canonical analyze have been used to analyze the data.Findings of the research are:1There is a significant correlation between demographic features of students and anxiety disorders.2Demographic features of students are a factor for mood disorders.3Demographic features of students are a factor for paranoid ideation in psychotic symptom

Clinically Positive Axillary Lymphadenopathy May Lead to False Diagnosis of Overstaged Breast Cancer in Patients with Sjögren's Syndrome: A Case Report

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease that chronic inflammation and lymph node proliferation. Patients with SS carry a greater risk of developing lymphoproliferative malignancy. In addition to other organ cancers, breast cancer may also occur in these patients. Considering these, breast cancer in patients with SS can be misdiagnosed as being in an advanced stage particularly in the presence of axillary lymphadenopathy. Here, we report a rare case of a 45-year-old woman with SS who presented with a breast mass. Radiology showed a 4 cm solid lesion and conglomerates of axillary lymphadonepathy. A breast biopsy revealed ductal carcinoma in situ. A modified radical mastectomy was performed; however, no axillary metastases were detected. Clinicians should remain vigilant to the possibility that a false clinical impression of axillary metastasis may occur in such patients with breast cancer. Therefore, axillary node status should be verified first

Occurrence and spread of the banana fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense TR4 in Mozambique

CITATION: Viljoen, A. et al. 2020. Occurrence and spread of the banana fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense TR4 in Mozambique. South African Journal of Science, 116(11/12):8608, doi:10.17159/sajs.2020/8608.The original publication is available at https://sajs.co.zaFusarium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), poses a major threat to banana production globally. A variant of Foc that originated in Southeast Asia, called tropical race 4 (TR4), was detected on a Cavendish banana export plantation (Metocheria) in northern Mozambique in 2013. Foc TR4 was rapidly disseminated on the farm, and affected approximately half a million plants within 3 years. The fungus was also detected on a second commercial property approximately 200 km away (Lurio farm) a year later, and on a small-grower’s property near Metocheria farm in 2015. Surveys in Mozambique showed that non-Cavendish banana varieties were only affected by Foc race 1 and race 2 strains. The testing of Cavendish banana somaclones in northern Mozambique revealed that GCTCV-119 was most resistant to Foc TR4, but that GCTCV-218 produced better bunches. The occurrence of Foc TR4 in northern Mozambique poses a potential threat to food security on the African continent, where banana is considered a staple food and source of income to millions of people. Cavendish somaclones can be used, in combination with integrated disease management practices, to replace susceptible Cavendish cultivars in southern Africa. The comprehensive testing of African cooking bananas for resistance to Foc TR4 is required, along with the improvement of biosecurity and preparedness of growers on the African continent.https://sajs.co.za/article/view/8608Publisher's versio

New Exponential and Complex Traveling Wave Solutions to the Konopelchenko-Dubrovsky Model

The Konopelchenko-Dubrovsky (KD) system is presented by the application of the improved Bernoulli subequation function method (IBSEFM). First, The KD system being Nonlinear partial differential equations system is transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equation by using a wave transformation. Last, the resulting equation is successfully explored for new explicit exact solutions including singular soliton, kink, and periodic wave solutions. All the obtained solutions in this study satisfy the Konopelchenko-Dubrovsky model. Under suitable choice of the parameter values, interesting two- and three-dimensional graphs of all the obtained solutions are plotted

New Exact Solutions for Generalized (3+1) Shallow Water-Like (SWL) Equation

In this study, we use the improved Bernoulli sub-equation function method for exact solutions to the generalized (3+1) shallow water-like (SWL) equation. Some new solutions are successfully constructed. We carried out all the computations and the graphics plot in this paper by Wolfram Mathematica

Characterization and Comparative Analysis of Fetal Human and Embryonic Mouse Dentate Gyrus Neural Stem Cell Populations

The degree of neurogenesis in the adult hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) is the center of the discussion in the field of adult neurogenesis. Although there is an on-going controversy, accumulating evidence suggests that the neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult human DG are very few. The question remains open as to why there are so few NSCs in the adult human DG when compared with the rodent DG. In order to address these questions, it seems necessary to understand the developmental process of the NSCs in the adult human DG. In this thesis, the neural stem and progenitor cells in the fetal human DG are characterized. In addition to these findings, a semi-automatic method for counting and categorizing cells in their expressions of immunochemistry markers is developed
