Effects of standard diets from different sources on growth and some organ parameters of rats

ΔΕΝ ΔΙΑΤΙΘΕΤΑΙ ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗThis study aims to determine the effects of open and closed formulated standard diets supplied from different sources on growth performance and internal organ development of laboratory rats. Five-week-old 32 Wistar rats were used. A special control group diet was produced in accordance with the criteria determined by the National Research Council (NRC) (1995). Three different most preferred commercial open and closed-formula diets produced by international and local companies were used as trial groups’ diets. The experiment was carried out for 12 weeks. Weekly feed consumption, body weight change, internal organ weight, intestinal organ weigths and lengths, intestinal villi heigth and crypt depth were measured in groups. The body weight values of the control group and the first group fed with open-formula diet were found at the highest level (P <0.05). The control group diet had a positive effect on small intestine villi heigth and crypt depth (P <0.05). The nutrient contents and energy values of the diets of experimental groups were determined as different from the commercial firm notifications. As a result of the research, it is concluded that the diets prepared with open-formula give more reliable results in the growth performance and development of internal organs of Wistar rats

Correlation Between Chlamydia trachomatis Infections and Interferon Gamma (IFN-γ) inWomen With spontaneous abortion

The objective of this study was to find out the correlation between Chlamydia trachomatis infection and production of Interferon gamma (IFN- γ) with respect to abortion in women that had spontaneous abortion. Serum was collected from the women that had abortion and woman with successful pregnancy, and all samples were analysed for IgM specific antibodies for Chlamydia trachomatis and IFN- γ by commercially available Enzyme- Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kits. A highly significant difference in the serum level of IgM specific antibodies of Chlamydia trachomatis and IFN- γ was found in women that had abortion compared with successful pregnancy (P<0.001), and a highly significant positive correlation between them (r=0.503, p<0.001) in sera of women that had abortion. The data of this study strengthen the possibility that IFN-γ may explain the role of type 1 cytokines in the pathogenicity of abortion in the positive group for Chlamydia trachomatis

Prescription pattern study of antiasthmatics drugs in tertiary care centre

Background: Bronchial asthma is a social and economic healthcare burden. Drug Utilization studies can play a key role in helping the healthcare system to understand, interpret and improve the prescribing administration & use of medications.Methods: A prospective, Cross-sectional, Observational study was conducted at inpatient and outpatient Department of Medicine and Paediatrics in tertiary health care centre. As per inclusion criteria, 127 patients with asthma were interviewed, and prescription data was recorded in a pre-designed case record form from 1 October 2018 to 31 December 2018.Results: A total of 127 prescriptions were studied. It was observed that majority of the study patients were in the age group of 40-50 years, with 83 (65.5%) males and 44 (34.6%) females. Most of the patients were of Mild intermittent asthma 65 (51.18 %) followed by patients with Mild persistent asthma 31 (24.40 %). 10 different anti-asthmatics drugs were prescribed along with adjunctive medicines. Most of the patients received multiple drug therapy 98 (77.16 %). Prevalence of two drug combination was the highest 74 (58.26 %) followed by monotherapy29 (22.83 %). Most common route of drug administration was inhalational route followed by oral route. β2 agonists and corticosteroids were the most commonly prescribed combination drugs followed by methylxanthines. 103 (81.10 %) prescription contains both generic and brand drugs compared to generic names only 16 (12.59 %) and brand names only 8 (6.29 %).Conclusions: This study concluded that the present prescribing practice in asthma therapy in tertiary care centre is not sufficiently rational. Hence, it is necessary to encourage physicians to follow asthma guidelines while managing asthmatic patients

Penggunaan Prezi untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Guru dalam Membuat Media Pembelajaran

“SMP Terbuka” or Open Junior High School is an formal education that applying the concept of independent study which is allocated for school age children who had undergone resistance that make them was not possible to follow education in Regular Junior High School. The learning process in Open Junior High School was totally different with Reguler Junior High School since the condition of almost students in Open School have worked to help their parents. However, standard competence graduates (SKL) and curriculum in Open Junior High School was same as in Reguler Junior High School. The other problem is Lack of ability teachers in Open Junior High School in making an learning media that interesting. This study is purposes to improve the ability of teachers in SMP Terbuka Kemusu and SMP Terbuka Wonosegoro in making an learning media with Prezi software. The result of this study showed that been increasing in the ability of teachers in SMP Terbuka Kemusu and SMP Terbuka Wonosegoro in making an learning media with Prezi. The improvement in the ability of teachers in making an learning media with Prezi was beyond the target scores

Robustness of Cosmological Simulations I: Large Scale Structure

The gravitationally-driven evolution of cold dark matter dominates the formation of structure in the Universe over a wide range of length scales. While the longest scales can be treated by perturbation theory, a fully quantitative understanding of nonlinear effects requires the application of large-scale particle simulation methods. Additionally, precision predictions for next-generation observations, such as weak gravitational lensing, can only be obtained from numerical simulations. In this paper, we compare results from several N-body codes using test problems and a diverse set of diagnostics, focusing on a medium resolution regime appropriate for studying many observationally relevant aspects of structure formation. Our conclusions are that -- despite the use of different algorithms and error-control methodologies -- overall, the codes yield consistent results. The agreement over a wide range of scales for the cosmological tests is test-dependent. In the best cases, it is at the 5% level or better, however, for other cases it can be significantly larger than 10%. These include the halo mass function at low masses and the mass power spectrum at small scales. While there exist explanations for most of the discrepancies, our results point to the need for significant improvement in N-body errors and their understanding to match the precision of near-future observations. The simulation results, including halo catalogs, and initial conditions used, are publicly available.Comment: 32 pages, 53 figures, data from the simulations is available at http://t8web.lanl.gov/people/heitmann/arxiv, accepted for publication in ApJS, several minor revisions, reference added, main conclusions unchange

Hyperfine Fields in an Ag/Fe Multilayer Film Investigated with 8Li beta-Detected Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Low energy $\beta$-detected nuclear magnetic resonance ($\beta$-NMR) was used to investigate the spatial dependence of the hyperfine magnetic fields induced by Fe in the nonmagnetic Ag of an Au(40 \AA)/Ag(200 \AA)/Fe(140 \AA) (001) magnetic multilayer (MML) grown on GaAs. The resonance lineshape in the Ag layer shows dramatic broadening compared to intrinsic Ag. This broadening is attributed to large induced magnetic fields in this layer by the magnetic Fe layer. We find that the induced hyperfine field in the Ag follows a power law decay away from the Ag/Fe interface with power $-1.93(8)$, and a field extrapolated to $0.23(5)$ T at the interface.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure.
