Abstract

We developed an agent-based model of the farming and economic behavior of rice farmers under flood risk for the assessment of climate change impacts in flood-prone farming communities. The developed model was applied to Candaba City in Pampanga Province, Republic of the Philippines to analyze the impact of flood disasters on the farming activities of each farming household under a flood scenario. Simulation of a test flood scenario showed that the assets in the flood-prone areas were significantly reduced. In the case of large-scale floods that reduce yields in the entire region, the income loss of farm households was limited to a certain extent due to the high rice prices caused by excess demand in the rice market, while the long-term asset formation of poor farm households were seriously hampered in the case of a series of small- and medium-scale floods. In terms of economic inequality, the Gini coefficient is higher for medium floods when the proportion of affected households is limited to a certain level.

Abstract

Introduction: It is necessary to understand that psychological reactions after a natural disaster are as complex as disaster itself. Following a catastrophic earthquake like Bam’s, such reactions can be seen in nursing team members as well. Materials and Methods: This study is a descriptive cross sectional analytic research, conducted with cooperation of Japanese Nursing Association to identify somatic and psychological problems of nursing team members of Bam. A total of 92 members of nursing team affiliated to healthcare centers of Bam were studied. Data collection tools were 2 questionnaires; first for evaluating demographic characteristics and general health and second- questionnaire of Goldberg and Williams- for evaluation of four domains of psychosomatic problems, anxiety and insomnia, psychosocial functioning and severe depression. Each domain contained seven questions, each scored from 0 to 3 based on Likert score. Complete score of general health was 0-84. Scores were classified in four groups: 0-20 as optimal, 21-4 as approximately optimal, 41-6 as approximately suboptimal and 61 and higher as suboptimal. Results: One year after the earthquake, evaluation of general health of nursing team members showed 30.3% of subjects had optimal psychosomatic status, 34.8% had moderate problems of anxiety and insomnia, 40.2% had approximately optimal psychosocial functioning and 44.2% of subjects were not severely depressed. Overall, 38.4% of nursing team members had approximately optimal general health. Conclusion: This study showed that following a catastrophic earthquake, most of the victims suffer from several psychological and somatic reactions. In addition to on time rescue procedures, other important allaying factors are cultural and religious values and believing in God.

Abstract

The electronic spectra of carbon anions up to C(sub 21)(super -) were measured in the gas phase using the REMPED technique. Consequently it was observed that considerable numbers of long chain-form anions were always formed in a laser vaporization beam.

42. The extent of natural cross-polination in wild soybean (Glycine soja)

Abstract

Enzymatic analysis and electrophoretic resolution of seed proteins derived from four populations of Glycine soja were done to determine the extent of natural cross-pollination in the soybean species. The results demonstrated the existence of 16 putative loci, six of which were monomorphic in all the populations tested while 10 showed within-population genetic variations. There was also an observed high rate of multilocus outcrossing among the four populations.

Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a valuable cell source in regenerative medicine, and large numbers of MSCs can be isolated from the amnion noninvasively. Sclerosing cholangitis is a chronic cholestatic disease and characterized by progressive biliary destruction leading to cirrhosis. Many factors are involved in the development of sclerosing cholangitis; however, effective medical therapy is not established. We investigated the effects of human amnion-derived MSCs (hAMSCs) and conditioned medium (CM) obtained from hAMSC cultures in rats with sclerosing cholangitis. Sclerosing cholangitis was induced via the intragastric administration of 100 mg/kg alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) twice weekly for 4 weeks. One million hAMSCs or 200 mu L of CM were intravenously administered on days 15 and 22. Rats were sacrificed on day 29 and evaluated via histological, immunohistochemical, and mRNA expression analyses. hAMSC transplantation and CM administration significantly improved the histological score. In addition, these two interventions significantly improved biliary hyperplasia, peribiliary fibrosis, and inflammation in Glisson's sheath. Accordingly, CK19, MMP-9, and TNF-alpha, and MCP-1 expression in the liver was also decreased by hAMSC and CM administration. In conclusion, hAMSC and CM administration ameliorated biliary hyperplasia, peribiliary fibrosis, and inflammation in a rat model of sclerosing cholangitis. hAMSCs and CM may represent new modalities for treating sclerosing cholangitis.
