Synthesis and X-ray Diffraction Study of Se79 Te20 Pb1 Chalcogen Glass

Chalcogenide glasses have received much attention from researchers during the last few years because of their interesting optical, electrical, dielectric, thermal, and physical properties by changing the composition such as wide transmission range, high refractive index, good chemical durability, optical switching, and from amorphous to crystalline phase transition. In this paper,  are taken in appropriate atomic weight percentages. Ternary Se₇₉Te₂ Pb₁ chalcogenide glass is prepared by conventional melt quenching technique. XRD method is used for the identification of crystalline materials. Thus, the absence of any sharp and prominent peak in the XRD pattern confirmed the amorphous nature of chalcogenide glass

Safety compliance at the workplace: Employees at manufacturing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Kedah

In 2016, the Malaysian government launched a total of 150 small and medium enterprise (SME) development programs with a total funding of RM 5 billion to assist more than 580 000 SMEs and their employees. With respect to long-term prospects, the SME Master Plan 2012 – 2020, apart from being intended to transform SMEs so as to achieve a high income nation status by 2020, is aimed to identify and facilitate the implementation of immediate actions to reduce the occupational death rate to 4.36/100, 000 workers and accident rate to 2.53/1000 workers, as well as to increase the quality of work poisoning to 30 percent through the enhancement of safety compliance at SMEs. The purpose of this study is to examine the positive relationships between (1) safety rules and procedures, (2) safety participation, (3) communication, (4) safety training, (5) management commitment, (6) work environment, and safety compliance. A cross-sectional study was conducted. Data was gathered through a questionnaire distributed to workers of the manufacturing sector of SMEs (n = 124). Data analysis was done using SPSS version 20.0. This study applied factor analysis, descriptive statistics, reliability analysis and inferential analysis to examine the relationships among the variables. Multiple regression results showed that the significant variables related to safety compliance are communication, safety training, and work environment and accounted for 63.6% of the total variance. The theoretical and managerial implications of the findings are discussed and the results of this study can be utilized by manufacturing SMEs, government agencies, general community, stakeholders, national social partners, and the general public to increase the efficiency and productivity of SMEs as well as competitiveness between organizations and employees to adopt a better quality of life as per standard OSH practices and effective safety compliance

Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a rare developmental disorder syndrome involving multiple systems characterized by facial dysmorphism limb deformities, hirsutism, cardiac defects, growth and cognitive retardation, and gastrointestinal abnormalities. The features of this disorder range from mild to severe.  We present here a case of preterm newborn with Classical Cornelia de Lange syndrome with heterozygous mutation in NIBPL gene

Simultaneous Determination of Dimethomorph and Chlorothalonil in Pesticide Formulation: HPLC Method Development and Validation

The identification and accurate quantification of pesticides is important to verify the recommendedconcentration of active content of each pesticide in formulated products to avoid adverse effects on human life due toover dosage. In this study, method of quantitative determination of Dimethomorph and Chlorothalonil in pesticideformulation was developed and validated by using ICH guidelines. Chromatographic separations with good resolutionwere performed on Beckman C-18 column (5 µm x 150 mm x 4.6 mm), using 80:20, v/v – (CH3CN:H2O) as mobilephase in isocratic mode at 230 nm. The retention time for Dimethomorph and Chlorothalonil at flow rate 1.2 mL/minwas 6.21 and 9.63 minutes, respectively. Calibration curves of both studied fungicides (Chlorothalonil andDimethomorph) were linear showing coefficient of determination greater than 0.996. %RSD value of inter-dayprecision was found to be less than 3 for both pesticides and for intra-day precision these values were less than 2. Interlaboratory comparison (ILC) method was applied to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed method and Z-score valueswere found to be less than 2. The proposed method is therefore efficient, accurate, and cost-effective and can suitablybe used for simultaneous quantitative determination of Dimethomorph and Chlorothalonil in pesticide formulatedproducts

Multiple mycotoxins in rice : occurrence and health risk assessment in children and adults of Punjab, Pakistan

Mycotoxin contamination in rice can create a health risk for the consumers. In this study, the measurement of 23 mycotoxins in rice samples (n = 180) was performed using a validated LC-MS/MS method. A food frequency questionnaire was used to get rice consumption data for the assessment of mycotoxin dietary exposure, before calculating the health risk in adults and children of north and south regions of the Pakistani Punjab province. The prevalence of aflatoxin B-1 (56%), aflatoxin B-2 (48%), nivalenol (28%), diacetoxyscirpenol (23%), fumonisin B-1 (42%), zearalenone (15%), HT-2 toxin (10%), deoxynivalenol (8%), and ochratoxin A (6%) was estimated in samples with a mean concentration range between 0.61 and 22.98 mu g/kg. Aflatoxin degradation by traditional Pakistani cooking recipes was evaluated and observed to be 41-63%. The dietary exposure to aflatoxins exceeded the tolerable daily intake at all levels, and ochratoxin A and zearalenone posed health risk at high contamination and high consumption levels. The margin of aflatoxin B-1 exposure ranged between 10 and 69 in adults and 10 and 62 in children. The mean cancer risk by aflatoxin B-1 exposure was 0.070 (adults) and 0.071 (children) cases/year/100,000 people in South Punjab population, and 0.122 (adults) and 0.127 (children) cases/year/100,000 people in North Punjab population. This study will provide new insights for the planning and management of mycotoxins in Pakistan

Racial and Ethnic Disparities Among Minority Geriatric Trauma Patients in the United States: An Analysis of Data From a National Sample Using the Trauma Quality Improvement Program Database

For this dissertation, I completed three manuscripts with the common overall aim of assessing health disparities among geriatric trauma patients in the U.S. The first manuscript reports on a structured narrative review of the literature comprised of three approaches that ensure comprehensive and targeted research: a scoping review, an exploratory search, and a citation review. The second manuscript is a descriptive analysis of one-year (2016) of data from the American College of Surgeon’s Trauma Quality Improvement Program (ACS-TQIP) with a focus on older adults aged 65 and older who have had an injury. The population was stratified into four groups: Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs), African Americans, Hispanics, and Other races. For each group, I conducted a simple univariate tabulation for key demographic characteristics and injury-related variables. I also assessed comorbidities, insurance type, and regional differences. Finally, in manuscript three, I performed a one-year analysis of the ACS-TQIP dataset and included all adult trauma patients aged 65 and older who were admitted in 2016. My primary aim was to understand health disparities regarding in-hospital health measures, such as in-hospital mortality, length of stay (LOS), and in-hospital complications. I conducted multivariable regression analysis controlling for age, gender, injury severity, comorbidities, insurance status, calendar year, and type of trauma center. I argue that racial/ethnic disparity exists for GTPs in terms of in-hospital mortality, in-hospital complications, and LOS. Type of injury, severity of injury, and age group are critical predictors of different health outcomes among minority GTPs. Minimizing disparities in GTPs care is crucial to reducing morbidity and mortality. More focused primary research is needed to expand our knowledge of racial/ethnic disparities among GTPs. It is critical that future research stratify each minority group by differences in injury type, injury severity, and age group.Release after 07/16/202
