Abstract The difference spectrum of oxidized enzyme minus d -lactate-reduced enzyme reveals the characteristic absorption bands of an oxidized flavin bound to the protein. The wavelengths of the peaks are: 455 mμ and 385 mμ. The oxidation-reduction potential of the FAD bound to the d -lactate dehydrogenase ( d -2-hydroxyacid: (acceptor) oxydoreductase) of anaerobic yeast has been determined. A spectrophotometric study of the equilibrium between the flavin group and the d -lactate-pyruvate system gives values of E mF = −0.178 Volt at pH7.0 and 30°. The pH-dependence coefficient of this potential is ΔE mF / Δ pH = −0.03 V.

Enzymic degradation of heparin A sulphamidase and a sulphoesterase fromFlavobacterium heparinum
|
A sulphamidase and a sulphoesterase were isolated from adapted cells of Flavobacterium heparinum. These enzymes were partially purified from the ;heparinases' present in the bacterial extracts and characterized. The sulphamidase has a high specificity for glucosamine N-sulphate and glucosamine 2,6-disulphate. The activity decreases sharply with increasing molecular weight of the substrates tested. The sulphamidase and the sulphoesterase activities were distinguished from each other by their different sensitivities to concentration of phosphate ion and to temperature. The importance of these enzymes in the study of the structure of heparin is discussed.

The effect of dipicolinic acid on maize tissue culture growth is not solely due to inhibition of lysine biosynthesis
|
Dipicolinic acid, a known inhibitor of an enzyme (dihydrodipicolinic acid reductase) in the maize (Zea mays L.) lysine biosynthetic pathway, inhibits the growth of maize suspension and callus cultures. Inhibited cultures contain somewhat lower free lysine levels, but the inhibition of suspension culture growth was not reversible with simultaneous addition of L-lysine to the culture medium. It is concluded that dipicolinic acid does not act solely as an analog blocking lysine production. Dipicolinic acid thus appears to be unsuitable as a selection for maize tissue culture mutants with lysine overproduction.

The lake sediments have registered the information of palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironment in the lake itself and the regional scale. This also leads to a complexity in study of the palaeolimnology by all kinds of proxies. How to purify these proxies to indicate the palaeoclimate has become a problem to be solved. Most of the proxies can qualitively identify the percentage of allochthonous and autochthonous organic components, e.g. δ13corg CD/TC. The model introduced in this note has provided a method of quantitatively calculating the amount of allochthonous organic carbon. As for determination of regulating parameters, i.e. A1 and As, further work is still in need.

A cell-free extract from blue-green alga Anacystis nidulans contains enzymes which repair in vitro the transforming activity of gamma-irradiated Bacillus subtilis DNA. The level of restoration of the transforming activity depends on the protein concentration in the reaction mixture, the duration of incubation and on the dose of irradiation. The repair of gamma-induced lesions is most efficient in the presence of magnesium ions, NAD and ATP. The present data indicate that the repair of transforming DNA is performed with the participation of DNA polymerase and polynucleotide ligase which function in the cell-free extract of algae.

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of some ester, amides, and hydrazides of 3-carboxyrifamycin S. Relationship between structure and activity of ansamycins.
|
Esters, amides, and hydrazides of 3-carboxyrifamycin S were synthesized by oxidizing the cyanohydrin of 3-formylrifamycin SV to 3-(cyanocarbonyl)rifamycin S, followed by treatment with alcohols, amines and hydrazines. The in vitro microbiological activity of the derivatives was quite low, especially toward Gram-negative bacteria. This poor activity was not shown to be due to the inadequate inhibiting action on the bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase but to the poor penetration of the compounds through the bacterial cell wall. The microbiological activity was correlated to the chemical properties of the substituent on C3.

benefits of organic rosemary
|
1. Rosemary Oil Benefits Hair Growth. When applied over the scalp rosemary essential oil helps stimulate hair growth. Many people also claim that it can prevent baldness, slows graying, and can be used to treat dandruff and dry scalp.
|
Rosemary has also been traditionally used to improve memory. Science backs this tradition since like gingko biloba, rosemary has been shown among laboratories to have antioxidant properties that neutralize free radicals. One study suggests that when used in aromatherapy, rosemary can reduce cortisol levels and therefore, anxiety. Another study verified the usage of rosemary, combined with other essential oils, to alleviate stress and increase concentration and memory of graduate nursing students.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The zoster vaccine (trade name Zostavax) is a live vaccine developed by Merck & Co. that has been shown to reduce the incidence of herpes zoster (known as shingles) by 51.3% in a study of 38,000 adults aged 60 and older who received the vaccine.he zoster vaccine was approved and licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May 2006. The FDA originally recommended it only for individuals 60 years of age or older who met the following requirements:
|
Live vaccines include: 1 MMR - the combination measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. 2 Vavivax - the varicella or chicken pox vaccine. 3 Proquad - a combination of MMR and Varivax. rotavirus vaccines - including two oral vaccines, RotaTeq and 1 Rotarix. Flumist - the nasal spray flu vaccine.

do dogs get a rabies shot every year
|
If Dr. Schultz's 7-year rabies study can prove the vaccine is good for at least that long, prompting a change in current vaccination laws, then a dog might only receive 2 rabies vaccines in a lifetime.

All dogs should be vaccinated for rabies at 14 weeks of age, and then again at one year of age. Depending on the local regulations, re-vaccination with rabies vaccine should happen every one to three years.e have two 3-month-old puppies and a 2- year-old dog.

Impact of a Simple Educational Intervention on the Knowledge and Awareness of Tuberculosis among High School children in Vellore, India
|
Tuberculosis is a disease of great significance in India. With the advent of the HIV/AIDS epidemic the problem has been compounded. The Millenium Development Goal number 6, target 8, is ‘Halt and begin to reverse the incidence of TB by 2015’. In order to achieve this goal the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Stop TB program; one of the important strategies of which was education and empowerment of communities. It is hypothesized that improving the knowledge and awareness about tuberculosis in school going children will spread the awareness in the general community. This study was done to assess the level of knowledge of high school children, about various aspects of tuberculosis, and to assess the impact of a simple educational intervention on the knowledge of the children, with regard to tuberculosis.

Introduction: An Environmental History of Malawi
|
In the introduction to this seminal work on the environmental history of Southern Malawi, Brian Morris strongly affirms the need not only to explore the ‘dialectic’ between ‘cyclical time’ (as reflected in agricultural production) and the ‘arrow of time’ (as reflected in unique events)—as the Malawian scholar Elias Mandala extols—but also to view time as a historical process. To this end Morris gives an illuminating account of the history of the Shire Highlands by detailing specific socio-historical processes. These include, for example, the rise of the Yao chiefdoms in the nineteenth century, the development of the plantation economy in the early decades of the twentieth century, the complex events relating to the Chilembwe rebellion of 1915, as well as the conflicts around soil conservation in the post-war years.

Household, family and intergenerational interaction of rural Arab elderly in Israel
|
The rural Arab elderly in Israel live in a society undergoing rapid social, political and economic change. Family relations, as expressed in intergenerational interaction, are intensive, frequent and mutually supporting, and probably not motivated by the overt needs of the old. The findings on the household history of the investigated population indicate that the establishment of separate household by young couples, at marriage, is not a “modern” phenomenon. This fact helps to explain the positive attitude toward the single generation household found in this study. The data indicate that family structure and household structure, as well as intergenerational interaction basically have not been affected by the rapid changes occurring in the political and economic structure of the rural areas.

This article ethnographically explores faith-based mobilization around HIV and AIDS in Mozambique. It explains mobilization strategies and their outcomes in the case of the community-based HIV response teams of the Anglican Church in the Diocese of Niassa in Northern Mozambique. Engaging constructivist perspectives from social movement theory, especially those focusing on framing processes and collective identities, this article illustrates how such perspectives can be used in the study of African settings and shows the complexity of motivations behind volunteerism. While church leaders stress biblical frames and community agency to motivate involvement, this article argues that these frames compete against dependency and diverging attitudes within culture at large towards volunteerism. The primary theological frame that church leaders use to mobilize the HIV-response teams focuses on compassion and facilitates the participation of volunteers from other faith perspectives.

History from the Outside: Of La Guma's Dialogics, 'Coloredism' and other Shenanigans
|
There seems to be a proliferation of book length studies on Alex La Guma's writing lately and, curiously, most of these studies are written by scholars abroad. So far the only book length study written by a South African is Alex La Guma by Cecil Abrahams (1985)1. Coincidentally, even Abrahams wrote his book while abroad. Of course, one of the reasons for this lack of studies on La Guma's oeuvre within the country, it could be said, is the fact that La Guma's works have, until fairly recently, been banned. The result was that access to his works was extremely difficult if not impossible.

This article sets out to determine whether White missionaries of Western-orientated churches still have a role to play in developing territories, and more specifically if there is still a place for them in the Bantu Homelands of South Africa now progressing towards sovereign political status. Is the localization of mission hospitals in the Homelands inevitable - and if so, with what speed and abruptness is this likely to occur? What future is there in the Homelands for the White staff currently at mission hospitals in the Homelands - and if there is a future, will it be a worthwhile and rewarding future? Is it still justified to recruit dedicated young people for careers in a mission hospital - or should they start looking now for alternative outlets in which to fulfil their calling and desire to serve? These and similar questions are being asked as the Homelands move rapidly towards independence.

This article describes the learning that took place in the context of a provincial family enhancement unit within an Aboriginal child welfare agency. Many benefits were identified for the workers, the families, and the relationship to the community. Most notable were the positive effects on non-Aboriginal government staff who were immersed in a more traditional Aboriginal agency. Key learnings include the importance of relationship in child welfare practice, the desire of child welfare workers for greater creativity in their responses to children and families and the need for more supportive leadership in the creation of the conditions necessary for this to happen. Recommendations are made to provincial officials to assist in the creation of such an environment. Keywords: Aboriginal worldviews, child welfare practice, leadership, learning environment, creativity, relationship building, Participatory Action Research.

The Western Impact and the African Reaction: Buganda, 1880-1900
|
Buganda lies some eight hundred miles inland from the east coast of Africa. 1 For European travelers in the nineteenth century both explorers and missionaries it was a long, hard walk. Few made the journey, and none without a compelling reason. One important consequence of this relative isolation was the fact that there were never more than a handful of Europeans in Buganda. Whatever the impact of western culture on Africans, it would be primarily through the medium of a few strongwilled individual missionaries with their own personal idiosyncracies. Those who endured the rigors of the march and the debilitating effects of disease and disappointment were impressive men, and they impressed the Africans. But they, in turn, were impressed with the people whom they came to convert.

Who Is Sami? A Case Study on the Implementation of Indigenous Rights in Sweden

This chapter focuses on the complications that arise in implementing Indigenous rights in Sweden, in particular in deciding who belongs to Indigenous groups and as such to whom Indigenous rights are accorded. I discuss the political mobilisation of the Indigenous population of Sweden, the Sami, and introduce a case study based on interviews conducted with parliamentarians in the Sami parliament, a governmental institution, as well as Sami rights activists and scholars. My interest in “Who is Indigenous”, or rather “Who is a Sami”, is based on the impact this has on the workings of an Indigenous rights movement and its leaders, and the possibilities of achieving the rights they claim.

Little is known about the health and well-being of people who live on the streets although their lifestyle involves health risks. This study used qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the health status and health service needs of homeless people in several South African cities and towns. It was found in some cases that their own or family members' ill-health had contributed to their homelessness. Illnesses associated with poor living conditions or lifestyles were more common in the homeless than in the general population in certain age and sex categories. Access to healthcare was generally good in urban centres and most respondents were satisfied, although some reported discriminatory treatment. The risk profile of the homeless shows that systematic health promotion is required and that some health service providers need to be made more aware of the health needs of the homeless.

Challenges and methodological flaws in reporting the global land rush: observations from Tanzania
|
Since international awareness of a global rush for land has grown from 2008 onward, various databases and reports have attempted to provide an overview of the situation by compiling information on individual land deals. While providing such an overview is challenging owing to the dynamic and untransparent nature of the investments, flawed methods of using and citing data are aggravating that challenge and allowing dissemination of inaccurate information. The consequences are an unnecessarily blurred picture of the land deal situation and thus an inadequate basis for related political decisions or social actions and a misleading starting point for new research projects. In this article we demonstrate some of the flaws in the use of data and their consequences, with examples from fieldwork and literature on Tanzania. The paper illustrates and contributes to the evolving debate on appropriate research methodologies for studying the global land rush.

Factors affecting marital happiness of caregivers of the elderly in multigenerational families
|
Abstract Researchers have hypothesized that providing care to an elderly relative can negatively affect marital relationships of caregivers. However, no research has directly examined this issue. This study explored the impact of elderly depression and impairment, mental caregiving, caregiver/elderly person relationship closeness, spouse burden, and caregiver burden on caregiver marital happiness (and adjustment) in 90 multigenerational families. No significant relationship was found between these variables and caregiver marital adjustment. A causal model involving the six independent variables and caregiver marital happiness was developed and tested. Elderly depression and caregiver burden directly affected level of caregiver marital happiness. The other four independent variables affected caregiver marital happiness indirectly through caregiver burden. Implications for marriage and family therapists are discussed.

Understanding how capital flows within rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa can provide important insights on the nature of poverty and the effectiveness of financial intermediation interventions. In this paper, we use unique individual level savings and borrowing data to study the flow of funds within a sample of 104 Ugandan savings groups. We show that poor households borrow from wealthier households, which implies that the marginal benefit of money is decreasing in wealth. The result suggests that savings groups are effective at channeling funds to their poorest members.

Healing Through States of Consciousness: Animal Sacrifice and Christian Prayer Among the Kachin in Southwest China.
|
ABSTRACTHealing rituals can be understood in terms of configurations of two states of consciousness—a culturally elaborated everyday waking consciousness, and an enhanced and culturally elaborated state of consciousness. Two healing rituals performed by the ethnic Kachin in Southwest China differentiate these two states of consciousness in their theories of life and death. The first ritual, animal sacrifice, employs the ordinary consciousness, including will and expectation, of participants through the enhanced state of consciousness of the ritual officiant. The second, Christian prayer, utilizes the enhanced consciousness of Christian Congregation to achieve psychic transformation. These two rituals maneuver different configurations of the two states of consciousness in achieving healing efficacy.

The research presented in this article has been conducted in the hill tribes' area of the province of Mondolkri in northeastern Cambodia. Kept out of reach by the civil war, these animists groups are virtually unknown – the latest anthropological or ethnobotanical works in the region date back to over half a century. This article offers a preliminary census and botanical identification of thirty one medicinal plants used for treatment of malaria and fever focusing on the Bunong (Phnong) people. It provides information on the local pharmacopoeia, as well as on the social dimensions of the use of native plants. Special attention is given to the concept of malaria amongst the Bunong. This paper also presents a brief description of the influence of the Khmer Rouge regime on traditional medical education, as well as on the creation and organisation of a local medical network.

Learning outdoors: the Forest School approach

This paper outlines the role that Forest School can play in children's development. With over 100 Forest Schools in England, 20 in Scotland and 20 in Wales, this concept is growing across Britain. Forest School involves children having regular contact with woodland over an extended period of time; it allows them to become familiar, and have contact, with the natural environment. The recent Learning outside the classroom manifesto highlights the importance of children and young people gaining experience of the world beyond the classroom. Twenty-four children from seven schools in Oxfordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire were observed over an eight-month period as they attended Forest School. Improvements in the children's confidence, motivation and concentration, language and communication and physical skills were recorded by teachers and Forest School leaders. Changes took time to occur, highlighting the need for repeated and regular contact with the natural environment, especially for children who do n...

Postpartum Functioning in Mothers With Multiple Sclerosis
|
Increased family demands during the postpartum period together with having to cope with symptoms and curtailed everyday functioning associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) suggest the need for additional support for mothers with MS throughout the first postpartum year. This study investigated factors (MS duration, MS relapse, symptoms, social support) that affect functional performance of 172 mothers with MS during the second 6-month postpartum period. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and path analysis. Findings indicated a good fit of the path models to the data at 9 and 12 months. Significant effects at both 9 and 12 months included positive relationships between duration of MS and symptoms and between social support and functional performance. Significant negative relationships were observed between symptoms and both social support and functional performance. Social support mediated the relationship between symptoms and functional performance. Findings suggest the importance of continued ...

Food insecurity and ART adherence in Swaziland: the case for coordinated faith-based and multi-sectoral action
|
ABSTRACTFaith-based organisations (FBOs) have long been involved in HIV and AIDS impact mitigation and humanitarian relief, but most are not equipped to intervene in the structural drivers of food insecurity and attendant health inequities. Acknowledging limitations is as paramount a task for organisational effectiveness as maximising strengths. This article reports findings from a study of HIV-positive care supporters who volunteer with a church-run home-based care organisation in Swaziland. The article seeks to assess the impact of chronic food insecurity on antiretroviral adherence practices and how these individuals manage daily food shortages. Findings highlight the limited capacities of FBOs in highly vulnerable settings and the imperative for international and governmental coordination.

Who Is Poorest? An Asset-based Analysis of Multidimensional Wellbeing
|
type="main"> Recent studies have endorsed asset-based approaches as a strategy for attaining the Millennium Development Goals. This article discusses asset indices as a diagnostic tool for these policies, systematically breaking them down into separate dimensions of private household wealth and basic public-goods access and discussing how shortfalls in public-goods supply can be related to deprivations in basic human capabilities under the asset framework. It then illustrates how asset indices can be used for the targeting of public infrastructure investments and private asset-accumulation policies, with the help of a detailed case study of deprivations in household wealth and public-service supply in Madagascar.

Employed yet poor: Low-wage employment and working poverty in South Africa
|
ABSTRACTWorking poverty exists worldwide and has shown an increase in prevalence over the past few decades. Over the years, there has been an increase in the number and severity of low-wage employment, which in turn contributes significantly to poverty. Whilst paid employment has generally been considered as the predominant means to survive financially, salaries may be too low to maintain reasonable living standards. South African research on low-wage employment and working poverty in particular, are rare. Using data from the first four waves of the National Income Dynamics Study, this study fills the existing research gap by examining low-wage employment, working poverty, and low-wage poverty. The empirical findings indicated that all three groups are predominantly lowly-educated, middle-aged African female employees involved in elementary occupations in the informal sector.

This essay explores the intimate details and ethical quandaries of tele-promotion’s fraud. Perpetrated from inside Guatemalan prisons using black market cellphones, incarcerated gang members surf the affects of capitalism to create a sensorium of authenticity through which they swindle the unwary. An experiment in genre, this ethnographic essay foregrounds the lived experiences, survival strategies, and virtuosities of those pushed to the very margins of capitalism.

Moving targets: The challenges of studying infectious diseases among pregnant women in resource limited settings
|
Conducting clinical trials to prevent and treat infectious diseases in pregnancy is essential to saving maternal and newborn lives, though it is fraught with challenges. We have been conducting research in malaria treatment and prevention in children and pregnant women in Blantyre, Malawi for over a decade. Here, we review some of the unique challenges that we have faced in leading research studies that with rigor and integrity and maintaining the highest ethical standard. We conclude with concrete strategies to overcome some of the apparent obstacles that frequently focus on building trust through bidirectional communication with local health workers and communities. We also highlight the key role of local and international investigators to advocate for the health of the communities in which they work.

There are negative consequences for children and youth when a primary caregiver leaves to migrate. However there are unforeseen experiences related to schooling. I compare how Mexican maternal migration has influenced the education experiences of the children left behind in Mexico and their siblings living in the United States. These microcontexts of where and how siblings live in Mexico and in New York City present us with a somewhat surprising picture of the different education experiences.

[Population growth and factors associated with underdevelopment in Africa].
|
Factors associated with Africa's lack of progress in achieving socioeconomic development are explored. The author suggests that the solution does not lie in tackling the population problem, but in resolving the structural factors causing underdevelopment, such as the export of wealth, the burden of debt, and the unfavorable balance of payments. The need to replace inappropriate models of development based on Western experience with African models is also suggested.

/ Through the technique of meta-analysis, this study investigates the scholarly articles appearing in peer-reviewed online and offline journals that address the topic of communication and development from 1998 to 2007 to determine publication trends in the field. The research was prompted by the sense that development was moving off the research agenda of most communication scholars. This seemed surprising in the era of globalization and it was decided to examine the literature for evidence. The study finds that published studies have moved away from mass communication and toward ICTs’ role in development, that they infrequently address development in the context of globalization and often continue to embrace a modernization paradigm despite its many criticisms. In addition, International Communication Gazette was found to be the only mainstream communication journal to include a significant number of articles on development communication.
