It is not always a punishable act under criminal law, and is different to murder from a formal legal point of view. The mental state of the perpetrator of these crimes differs from that of one who commits murder. The purpose of this study is to reach a criminal behavior pattern in three dimensions (i.e. motivation, criminal act, and behavior after the crime) which can solve some problems in process of judicial judgments and precise decision making. This research is a cross-sectional survey on a statistical society of all the people who have committed human killing since 2001 through 2009 and have been referred to Tehran Legal Medicine center to be observed by psychiatrists. Sampling method is targeted in which 230 people were selected randomly. Required information was collected through related documents archive. Statistical tests of x, data was analyzed and in terms of previous motivations, no significant difference was seen (p0.05, x=1.75).  In terms of lethal weapons, a significant difference was seen (p0.05, =6.156). Also, in terms of the behavior after crime, some significant differences were seen in the groups (p0.05, =21.775). Every 3 groups of people with psychotic disorders, persons with personality disorders, and healthy ones have committed homicide with previous motivation. In terms of lethal tools, health ones often use lethal weapons to do homicide; and in terms of the behavior after crime, the psychotics mostly have unusual behaviors and do not leave the crime location. <#LINE#> @ @ Cosmides L. and Tooby J., Are humans good intuitive statisticians after all?

Mesenchymal stem cells from various sources such as bone marrow are available. These cells are one of the major candidates in cell therapy. The production of insulin-like growth factor-I increases in the regenerating organ. The insulin-like growth factor-I in liver regeneration is effective after binding to insulin-like growth factor-I receptor. We hypothesized that tumor necrosis factor- stimulate mesenchymal stem cells to cause insulin-like growth factor-I receptor expression. Bone marrow was aspirated from human normal donor after informing consent. Cells were isolated and cultured. Identification of cells with flow cytometric analysis and functional tests were performed. Fourth passage cells were treated with tumor necrosis factor- at different doses (1 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL) and incubated at different times (2, 10, 24 and 48 hours). Insulin-like growth factor–I receptor gene expression was investigated using real time-polymerase chain reaction technique. Flow cytometric analysis showed that the human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were positive for CD90 and negative for CD45 and CD80. The insulin-like growth factor-I receptor gene expression was increased in tumor necrosis factor- treated in comparison with untreated cells. Increase gene expression pattern of insulin-like growth factor-I receptor in human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells may be used for clinical stem cell therapy in acute liver failure. <#LINE#> @ @ Almeida G, Zanjani E, and.

The   sample constituted 80 elderly of whom 40 were men and 40 were women in the age group of 65 to 76 years. Structured Interview Schedule (SIS) developed by the investigators on knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) with regard to diabetes was used for assessment. The module of educational programme was developed by the investigators for the benefit of diabetic people covering different aspects in the management of the disease. A repeated measure design was followed; accordingly, the sample were administered SIS to assess their initial KAP and they were provided intervention programme for a period of two months. Later, two months after the intervention, post assessment was conducted administering the same SIS. A comparison of pre and post test scores on KAP regarding diabetes was made. The statistical significance of mean difference in the scores was carried out using ‘t’ ratios. The findings revealed that both men and women respondents and the two age groups showed higher scores after intervention, on KAP regarding diabetes,  than the pre intervention scores and individual differences in the score was also reduced considerably during post test.  <#LINE#> @ @ American Geriatrics Society.

The present study aimed at selection of keratin degrading bacteria from poultry soil. The poultry farm soil samples were added in basal medium with feathers as a source of carbon and nitrogen. The enriched samples were streaked on nutrient agar and hichromebacillus agar for isolation of keratinolytic bacteria.15 isolates were obtained. All the isolates were screened for their keratinolytic potential on milk agar. Out of fifteen isolates five were keratinolytic.Five isolates were further studied for feather degradationin shake flasks.Of the five, four showed complete degradation of feather barbules within 120 h and one isolate showed degradation within 72 h. The isolate was identified morphologically and by 16 s rRNA sequencing as Breuvendimonosterrae. It produced maximum keratinase at 37 C temperature and at 130 rpm speed within 72 h. Breuvendimonosterrae showed 76U/ml enzyme activity.The bacterium can be used for biotechnological purpose. <#LINE#> @ @ Yammura S., Y. Morita, Q. Hasan, K. Yokoyama and E.

In this study protective effect of curcumin on diethanolamine-induced toxicity on human spermatozoa in in vitro condition was investigated. For this study samples were collected from normal healthy donors. After liquefaction, samples were used for preparation of sperm suspension to evaluate sperm motility, sperm viability and sperm morphology. Statistical analysis was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s test and the level of significance was accepted with p0.05. When sperm suspension was treated with diethanolamine (300 µg/ml) it caused significant decrease in sperm motility and sperm viability as compared to control. Treatment also caused significantly increased different kinds of sperm morphological abnormalities as compared to control. Addition of different concentrations (10-40 µg/ml) of curcumin to sperm suspension along with diethanolamine caused significant increase in sperm motility and sperm viability as compared to treated which was time-dependent as well as concentration-dependent. As compared to treated, concentration-dependent decrease in various kinds of morphological abnormalities were also observed. This findings clearly indicate that curcumin ameliorates diethanolamine-induced spermatotoxic effect on human spermatozoa.  <#LINE#> @ @ Wagner P., Reassessment of Diethanolamine. (CAS Reg.

The objective of the present study was to understand the interrelationship between selected indigenous / exotic genotypes of the Mulberry germplasm collection of Central Sericulture Research and Training Institute (CSR&TI), Berhampore, West Bengal, India with a phenomic approach. The association between traits was further elucidated to identify appropriate marker assisted selection strategies. The phenogram and factorial analysis of ninety four genotypes was constructed on the basis of fourteen quantitative parameters. The improved genotypes were found to be clubbed in the smallest cluster while seventy four percent exotic germplasm were grouped together in the largest cluster of phenetic tree. Correlation analysis between twenty seven parameters (fourteen quantitative with additional thirteen anatomical) revealed forty six significant correlation values, of which twenty eight percent correlations were negative. The negative correlations between traits of interest were found in opposite principal coordinates.<#LINE#> @ @ Amardev, S., Farooq, A. and Ahmed B.S., Spring rearing performance by feeding temperate mulberry variety on bivoltine hybrid NB4D2 x SH6 of silkworm, Bombyx moriL.

This is in addition to routine screening of apparently healthy women. This study therefore seeks to look at the knowledge, attitude/beliefs and practices of women in purdah as it relates to cancer. A cross sectional survey was carried out on 120 sexually active women made up of 60 that practice purdah and 60 that do not practice purdah in Jos, Plateau State, North Central Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was administered on each subject. The questionnaire contained questions on socio-demographic characteristics of the subjects and questions regarding their knowledge, attitude, beliefs and practices as regards cervical cancer. Show that only 11 (18.3%) women in Purdah had previous knowledge of the cause of cervical cancer as against 35(58.3%) for the women who are not in purdah. Women in Purdah had a mean 68.3% positive Attitudes/beliefs as against 77.2% for the women who are not in purdah women who are not in purdah. In terms of their practices, the women in purdah had a mean positive practice of 62.66% as against 76.66% of the women who are not in purdah. There is need for specific and targeted awareness for women in purdah to remove barriers and fill-up gabs to early detection of premalignant lesion. The response from the women who are not in purdah also show that awareness of women in general is very low and could hinder control. <#LINE#> @ @ Ali S.F., Ayub S., Manzoor N.F., Azim S. and Afif M., et al.

Eighteen wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes were screened for high temperature with respect to four traits under field and the polyhouse as normal and stressed conditions during winter session of 2011-12 at Pusa farm, Rajendra Agricultural University, Bihar, India. Spikelet fertility, number of grains per spike, number of effective tillers per plant and pollen sterility were measured and compared to the controls (without heat stress) and Sonalika as a check. The results showed a significant difference among all of the traits in stress and control conditions. On the basis of heat susceptibility index (HSI) the genotypes, Pusa gold, PBW 343, Raj 3765, HD 2888, F5-995 and K0583 were found relatively heat tolerant. Our results suggest that there are significant differences among genotypes that can be used in breeding for heat tolerance at pre anthesis and post anthesis stages and the development of high yielding wheat varieties. <#LINE#> @ @ Barnabas B.K.
