The model, implemented on a monocular visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system, termed NeuroBayesSLAM, successfully builds semi-metric topological maps and self-localizes in outdoor and indoor environments of difference characteristics, achieving comparable performance as previous neurobiologically inspired navigation systems but with much less computation complexity. The proposed multisensory integration method constitutes a concise yet robust and biologically plausible method for robot navigation in large environments. The model provides a viable Bayesian mechanism for multisensory integration that may pertain to other neural subsystems beyond spatial cognition. OBJECTIVE To explore the quality of life (QOL) and related factors in early postnatal women. DESIGN A descriptive, cross-sectional study. SETTING Liwonde, Malawi. PARTICIPANTS Women who underwent a normal vaginal birth (N = 173) were included from August to September 2018. MEASUREMENTS The QOL of participants was assessed using a World Health Organization QOL instrument. Demographic, obstetric, and health variables were collected using a structured questionnaire. Childbirth fear and depression were respectively assessed using the Wijma Delivery Experience Questionnaire and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. A multiple linear regression was used to examine factors associated with the QOL. Sapitinib manufacturer RESULTS The mean age of participants was 29 (standard deviation 6.7) years. The overall QOL and health were satisfactory. The mean score of the QOL was highest in the psychological health and social relationships domains, followed by the environmental and physical health domains. A higher educational level was negatively related to the physical health of QOL (p ≤ 0.01), with physician care positively related (p = 0.01). The employment status was positively related to psychological health and the environmental QOL (p ≤ 0.01). Furthermore, a higher income, and physician care were positively related to the environmental QOL (p ≤ 0.05). High levels of childbirth fear and depressive symptoms were negatively related to all domains of the QOL (p ≤ 0.05), except for the social relationships domain. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The physical health QOL was lower in postnatal mothers in Malawi. Measures to improve physical health aspects and address women's fears and depressive symptoms during postpartum care are warranted. The findings should alert the health providers of the importance of assessing and improving women's physical health and psychological well-being during postpartum care. Echinenone and canthaxanthin are important carotenoid pigments with food and industrial applications. Biosynthesis of echinenone and/or canthaxanthin is catalyzed by β-carotene ketolase (CrtO), with β-carotene as the substrate. In this study, we generated transgenic Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 overexpressing a heterologous crtO gene from Nostoc flagelliforme and evaluated the productivity of both pigments. Normal (BG11 medium, 30 °C) and osmotic stress (BG11 medium supplemented with 0.4 M mannitol, 30 °C) conditions were used for cultivation. As compared to control strain, production of echinenone and canthaxanthin in transgenic strain were respectively increased by more than 16 % and 80 %, under either normal or osmotic stress conditions. Especially upon the stress condition, higher proportion of echinenone and canthaxanthin in total pigments was achieved, which should be beneficial for downstream separation and purification. In addition, transgenic strain showed drought tolerance and could revive from desiccation treatment after rewetting. Thus, this study provided technical clues for production of both pigments in engineered cyanobacteria as well as for cyanobacterial anhydrobiotic engineering. Trichoderma longibrachiatum EF5 is an endophytic fungal antagonist of rice. It is used for the control of soil-borne fungal pathogens-Sclerotium rolfsii and Macrophomina phaseolina. We demonstrate that T. longibrachiatum EF5 inhibits the growth of these pathogens on direct interaction as well as via the production of the microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). The mVOCs reduced mycelial growth and inhibited the production of sclerotia by altering the mycelial structure. We profiled 138 mVOCs, when T. longibrachiatum EF5 interacted with the two pathogens. During these interactions, several compounds are up- or downregulated by T. longibrachiatum EF5, including longifolene, caryophyllene,1-Butanol 2-methyl, cedrene, and cuprenene. These compounds are involved in the biosynthetic pathways of the sesquiterpenoid and alkane, and the degradation pathway of trimethylamine. We provide an insight into the multiple modes by which T. longibrachiatum EF5 exerts antagonistic actions, such as hyperparasitism, competitions, and antibiosis via mVOCs. In contrast to their antimicrobial properties, these metabolites could also promote plant growth. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using different reforestation woods (Acacia mearnsii and Eucalyptus citriodora) on the formation of volatile organic compounds and to evaluate the changes in the lipid fraction (peroxide value and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances), microbiological counts and overall liking in bacons stored for 60 days at 5 ± 1 °C. Smoking with Eucalyptus citriodora wood increased the total phenolic content and, consequently, reduced the concentration of hexanal, TBARS, and PV values. Although smoking with different reforestation woods did not impact negatively on the liking of products, no changes on antimicrobial activity was observed in the developed products. Thus, the use of Eucalyptus citriodora wood may be an alternative for smoking meat products as it reduced lipid oxidation and improved the volatile compounds profile, and provided higher antioxidant activity. The information generated herein can be used as a platform for companies to test the viability of producing meat products smoked with reforestation woods. BACKGROUND The use of workbooks to support nursing student learning are not new. Used in a variety of guises and differing delivery formats from printed to electronic, enables nursing students to engage in specific complex patient conditions with the view to enhancing and support learning. However, evaluating the effectiveness of the workbook itself is often overlooked, instead value is expressed in academic success. AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a sequential based workbook to support student learning. METHOD Inductive content analysis was used to identify text patterns from end of semester student feedback. In all, three generic themes were identified - Usability, Knowledge and Content and Workload to create a main theme - The Living Workbook. RESULTS On the whole students found the workbook a user-friendly medium to support learning and importantly being able to apply the knowledge into the practice setting. There were a number of students who disliked the workbook because of the complexity of the case studies being presented and for being content heavy.
