Full textAbstract:
Azobenzene (Azo) units were successfully introduced into perylene bisimide (PBI) structures in order to realize the photocontrolling of the morphology of the supramolecular assembly of PBI by a photoisomerization process. A total of three Azo-functionalized perylene bisimide derivatives (PBI1, PBI2, and PBI3) with different alkyl chain lengths were designed and synthesized by imidization of 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride with the corresponding amines. The structures of these compounds were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The photoisomerization behaviors of Azo units in PBIs were investigated using ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) absorption spectroscopy, which were obviously effected by solvents and the alkyl chain length. Furthermore, the photoisomerization of Azo units has the obviously regulatory effect on the morphology of supramolecular assembly of PBIs, especially for the medium-length alkyl chain-linked Azo-functionalized PBI derivative (PBI2). This research realized the photocontrolling of the morphology of the supramolecular assembly of PBI derivatives by photoisomerization of Azo units.

Agricultural projects and programmes funded by governments and donor agencies often failed to achieve the desired set objective(s) at the system levels. The study tries to assess the existing production practices with a view of coming up with a consensus farmer need in a crop-livestock production system at Ido Local Government Area (LGA). The study used a three-stage-sampling technique to elicit information from 225 respondents. Ido Local Government Area was purposively selected for the study. Three cells were randomly selected for the research, three villages were randomly selected in each cell and twenty-five farmers were selected using the snowball selection technique. The data obtained from the Participatory Rural Appraisal were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The pairwise ranking tool helped in determining the importance of the identified problems from the FGD in the study area. The researcher identified the following problems (Pb) from the focus group discussion; inadequate capital for livestock production (Pb1), poor housing for livestock (Pb2), inadequate nutrition for livestock (Pb3), diseases of crops (Pb4), livestock and predatory attack on crops (Pb5). The pairwise comparison of percentage of Pb1 versus (vs) Pb2 was 80/20%, Pb1 vs Pb3 was 68/32%, Pb1 vs Pb4 was 80/20%, Pb1 vs Pb5 was 12/88%, Pb2 vs Pb3 was 68/32%, Pb2 vs Pb4 was 20/80%, Pb2 vs Pb5 was 20/80%, Pb3 vs Pb4 was 32/68%, Pb3 vs Pb5 was 20/80%, vs Pb4 vs Pb5 was 20/80% respectively. The ultimate farmers’ problem in crop-livestock production systems (CLPS) that needs immediate intervention and technical assistance was inadequate capital as perceived from the responses of the farmers.

Full textAbstract:
Procyanidin (PC) dimers are powerful antioxidants, abundant in plant tissues, and also bioavailable. However, the role of the molecular structure of PCs on their antioxidant properties is still a controversial and not fully understood issue that needs to be addressed in a more specific way. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of the constituent units, type of interflavan bond, and conformation on the antioxidant properties of PC dimers including PB3, PB4, PB5, PB6, PB7, and PB8, using the density functional theory (DFT) computational method. The analysis was performed in function of parameters that allow determining the ability of the molecules to transfer or to capture electrons, among which the chemical potential, bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), gap energy, Fukui indices, and charge distribution of HOMO-LUMO orbitals. The factors that showed the most notable effects on the antioxidant properties of the PC dimers were the type of interflavan bond and the conformation. The antioxidant ability of the dimers PB3 and PB4 containing the interflavan bond C4–C8, in their Compact conformation, was very similar to each other but greater than those of dimers PB5, PB6, PB7, and PB8 containing the C4–C6 interflavan bond. PB8 showed the lowest antioxidant ability.

To investigate the configurations and the electrical performance of the Pb–I films, the geometries and electronic properties of the Pb[Formula: see text]I and Pb[Formula: see text]I2 (n = 1–6) clusters are calculated by density functional theory at the GGA/PBE functional. The results reveal that I atoms prefer to occupy the symmetrical positions which are far from the centers of the Pb[Formula: see text] clusters. The Pb2I2 clusters are more structurally stable than the neighbors by the average binding energy. The PbI, Pb3I, PbI2, Pb4I2 and Pb6I2 clusters are more dynamically stable than their neighbors by the HOMO–LUMO gaps. The adsorption capacity of an I atom on the Pb2 cluster is the strongest compared to those of the other Pb[Formula: see text] (n = 1–6) clusters. NBO analysis reveals that the 5p orbital of I atoms in the Pb–I clusters acquires more electrons than the 5s orbital loses.

Government and non-government organizations (NGOs) interventions to local farmers in the recent past had not yielded the desired result because these interventions were not tailored towards the needs of farmers. However, most information on the needs of target farmers have been very scanty thus, the need to use a bottom top approach to assess farmers' needs in Ibarapa East, Oyo state. A three-stage sampling technique was used to purposively select about 225 respondents. Parameters measured were household characteristics, farm sizes, farm labor availability, seasonal pattern and need to be assessed using a participatory rural appraisal approach comprising of focus group discussion (FGD) and structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed descriptively and the need assessed using the pair-wise ranking and simple matrix. Of challenges listed in FDG among crop-livestock farmers, only five (5) were prioritized as follows; wastage of agricultural products (Pb1), bad road network (Pb2), high cost of agricultural inputs (Pb3), lack of potable water (Pb4) and animal invasion (Pb5). The pairwise comparison of the percentage of Pb1 versus (vs.) Pb2 was 80/20%, Pb1 vs. Pb3 was 90/10%, Pb1 vs. Pb4 was 70/30%, Pb1 vs. Pb5 was 20/80%, Pb2 vs. Pb3 was 70/30%, Pb2 vs Pb4 was 30/70%, Pb2 vs. Pb5 was 10/90%, Pb3 vs. Pb4 was 20/80%, Pb3 vs. Pb5 was 10/90%, vs. Pb4 vs Pb5 was 30/70%, respectively. There were proffered solutions to the problem(s) itemized by the FGD. The animal invasion was ranked highest as farmers' need assessed for possible intervention in Ibarapa East. Governments and NGO funds should be addressing animal invasion for desirable project impact assessment. Les interventions des gouvernements et des organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) auprès des agriculteurs locaux dans un passé récent n'avaient pas donné le résultat souhaité car ces interventions n'étaient pas adaptées aux besoins des agriculteurs. Cependant, la plupart des informations sur les besoins des agriculteurs cibles ont été très rares, ce qui nécessite d'utiliser une approche ascendante pour évaluer les besoins des agriculteurs de l'est d'Ibarapa, dans l'État d'Oyo. Une technique d'échantillonnage en trois étapes a été utilisée pour sélectionner environ 225 répondants. Les paramètres mesurés étaient les caractéristiques des ménages, la taille des exploitations, la disponibilité de la main-d'oeuvre agricole, le profil saisonnier. Ils doivent être évalués à l'aide d'une approche d'évaluation rurale participative comprenant des discussions de groupe et un questionnaire structuré. Les données ont été analysées de manière descriptive et le besoin évalué en utilisant le classement par paires et une matrice simple. Parmi les défis énumérés dans le 'FDG' chez les agriculteurs et les éleveurs, seuls cinq (5) ont été classés comme suit; gaspillage des produits agricoles (le 'Pb' 1), mauvais réseau routier (le 'Pb' 2), coût élevé des intrants agricoles (le 'Pb' 3), manque d'eau potable (le 'Pb' 4) et invasion animale (le 'Pb' 5). La comparaison par paire du pourcentage de 'Pb' 1 versus (vs) 'Pb' 2 était de 80/20%, Pb1 vs Pb3 était de 90/10%, Pb1 vs Pb4 était de 70/30%, Pb1 vs Pb5 était de 20/80% Pb2 vs Pb3 était de 70/30%, le 'Pb' 2 vs le 'Pb4' était de 30/70%, le 'Pb' 2 vs le 'Pb' 5 était de 10/90%, le 'Pb' 3 vs. le 'Pb' 4 était de 20/80%, le 'Pb' 3 vs. le 'Pb' 5 etaient 10/90%,vs le 'Pb' 4 vs le 'Pb'5 était respectivement de 30/70%. Des solutions ont été proposées au (x) problème (s) détaillé (s) par le FGD. L'invasion animale a été classée au premier rang des besoins des agriculteurs évalués pour une éventuelle intervention à l'Estd'Ibarapa. Les gouvernements et les fonds d'ONG devraient s'attaquer à l'invasion animale pour une évaluation de l'impact souhaitable du projet.

Full textAbstract:
Soil phosphorus (P) sorption is an important and relatively stable soil property which dictates the equilibrium between sorbed and solution P. Soil P sorption measures are commonly adjusted for the effect of current P fertility on the amount of P a soil sorbs. In the case of highly fertilised agricultural soils, however, this adjustment is likely to be inappropriate as it may mask changes in a soil’s capacity to sorb P, which could affect future P fertiliser applications. A study was undertaken to compare adjusted or unadjusted methods of measuring P sorption using 9 pasture soils sampled from southern Victoria which had previously received P fertiliser and lime. The P sorption assessment methods included: P sorption isotherms, P-buffering capacity (PBC) measures (slope between equilibrium P concentration of 0.25 and 0.35 mg P/L), and single-point P-buffering indices (PBI), with methods either adjusted or unadjusted for current P fertility. A single application of 280 kg P/ha, 6 months before sampling, resulted in a general negative displacement of unadjusted P sorption isotherm curves, indicating reduced P sorption on 8 of the 9 soils. Adding the Colwell extractable P concentration to the amount of P sorbed before calculating the slope (PBC+ColP), tended to negate this fertiliser effect and, in 2 of the 9 soils, resulted in a significant increase in PBC+ColP values. Increasing rates of P fertiliser application (up to 280 kg P/ha) resulted in a consistent trend to decreasing PBI values (unadjusted for Colwell P), which was significant at 4 of the 9 sites after 6 months. However, only minimal changes in PBI values were determined when PBI was adjusted for current P fertility (PBI+ColP). Phosphorus sorption properties appeared reasonably stable over time, although 2 soils, both Ferrosols, indicated significant linear increases in PBI values when these sites remained unfertilised for 30 months. Lime significantly increased both PBI and PBI+ColP values at all sites 6 months after application, but the effect generally diminished after 30 months, suggesting PBI measurements should not be taken immediately after liming. These results demonstrate that unadjusted measures of P sorption are more likely to accurately reflect changes in soil P sorption capacity following P fertiliser applications and suggest that the unadjusted PBI be used in commercial soil testing rather that the currently adjusted PBI+ColP.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundSeveral performance-based financing (PBF) evaluations have been undertaken in low-income countries, yet few have examined community perspectives of care amid PBF programme implementation. We assessed community members’ perspectives of Support for Service Delivery Integration - Performance-Based Incentives (‘SSDI-PBI’), a PBF intervention in Malawi, and explored some of the unintended effects that emerged amid implementation.MethodsWe conducted 30 focus group discussions: 17 with community leaders and 13 with mothers within catchment areas of SSDI-PBI implementing facilities. We analysed data using the framework approach.ResultsCommunity leaders and women had mixed impressions regarding the effect of SSDI-PBI on service delivery in facilities. They highlighted several improvements (including improved dialogue between staff and community, and cleaner, better-equipped facilities with enhanced privacy), but also persisting challenges (including inadequate and overworked staff, overcrowded facilities and long distances to facilities) related to services in SSDI-PBI-implementing facilities. Further, respondents described how four targeted service indicators related to maternal risk factor management, antenatal care (ANC) in the first trimester, skilled birth attendance and couple’s HIV testing sparked unintended negative effects as experienced by women and communities. The unintended effects included women returning home for delivery, women feeling uncertain about their pregnancy status, women feeling betrayed or frustrated by the quality of care provided and partnerless women being denied ANC.ConclusionPBF programmes such as SSDI-PBI may improve some aspects of service delivery. However, to achieve system improvement, not only should necessary tools (such as medicines, equipment and human resources) be in place, but also programme priorities must be congruent with cultural expectations. Finally, facilities must be better supported to expect and then address increases in client load and heightened expectations in relation to services.

Full textAbstract:
The poly(benzimidazole) (PBI)/ poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) composite membrane was prepared by impregnating a porous PTFE thin film in a PBI solution N,N’-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) solution mixed with LiCl. LiCl was used as a stabilizer to avoid aggregations of PBI molecules in the DMAc solutions. In this paper, we report a 2 mg/ml PBI/ DMAc/ LiCl solution with a [LiCl]/[BI] molar ratio of ~8.0 (i.e. the LiCl/PBI is ~ 1.1 in wt ratio, where [BI] is the concentration of benzimidazole repeat unit in the solution) has a lowest PBI polymer aggregations and thus a lowest solutions viscosity. The PBI membrane and PBI/PTFE composite membrane prepared from the PBI/DMAc/LiCl solution with a [LiCl]/[BI] molar ratio of ~8.0 were used to dop H3PO4 and prepare membrane electrode assemblies (MEA). The unit cell performances of these MEAs were carried out at 150oC. Owing to the high mechanical strength of porous PTFE, the thickness of PBI/H3PO4-PTFE composite membrane is allowed to be lower than that of a PBI/H3PO4 membrane. The lower thickness of PBI/H3PO4-PTFE membrane than that of PBI/H3PO4 membrane results in a lower resistance of PBI/H3PO4-PTFE than PBI/H3PO4. Thus the MEA prepared from PBI/H3PO4-PTFE has a better fuel cell performance than that prepared from PBI.

PBI-4050 is a novel orally active small-molecule compound with demonstrated anti-fibrotic activity in several models of fibrosis, including lung fibrosis. We present results from our first clinical study of PBI-4050 in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).This 12-week open-label study explored the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of daily oral doses of 800 mg PBI-4050 alone and in combination with nintedanib or pirfenidone in patients with predominantly mild or moderate IPF. Nine patients received PBI-4050 alone, 16 patients received PBI-4050 with nintedanib and 16 patients received PBI-4050 with pirfenidone.PBI-4050 alone or in combination with nintedanib or pirfenidone was well tolerated. Pharmacokinetic profiles for PBI-4050 were similar in the PBI-4050 alone and PBI-4050+nintedanib groups but reduced in the PBI-4050+pirfenidone group, suggesting a drug–drug interaction. There were no significant changes in forced vital capacity (FVC), either in % predicted or mL, from baseline to week 12 for PBI-4050 alone or PBI-4050+nintedanib. In contrast, a statistically significant reduction (p<0.024) in FVC % pred was seen for PBI-4050+pirfenidone after 12 weeks.There were no safety concerns with PBI-4050 alone or in combination with nintedanib or pirfenidone in IPF patients. The stability of FVC between baseline and week 12 looked encouraging for PBI-4050 alone and in combination with nintedanib.

Full textAbstract:
Soil phosphorus (P) buffering capacity (PBC) is an important soil property that influences the amount of P fertiliser available for plant uptake. However, current methods of determining PBC are time-consuming and uneconomic in most commercial soil testing programs. The current study examined simpler methods of measuring the PBC of a wide range of Australian soils. Phosphorus sorption and extractable P data from 290 soils (initial data set) were collated to define the range of PBC values of Australian agricultural soils. Independently, detailed chemical and physical analyses were undertaken on a second set of 90 agricultural soils (principal data set), which were selected to represent the range of soil properties measured on the initial data set. Relationships between PBCO&S (Ozanne and Shaw 1968) values (P sorbed between solution P concentrations of 0.25 and 0.35 mg P/L) and 11 different single-point P sorption indices and selected soil properties were examined for the principal data set. Whilst relationships between PBCO&S values and selected soil properties such as oxalate-extractable iron and aluminium, and clay content, were generally poor, strong relationships existed between all of the single-point P sorption indices and PBCO&S. Results suggest that PBCO&S values were most closely related to the P buffering indices (PBI+ColP and PBI+OlsP) when a single addition of 1000 mg P/kg was added to soil and either the Colwell or 4.59 Olsen extractable P were added to the amount of P sorbed: PBI+ColP = (Ps + Colwell P)/c0.41 PBI+OlsP = (Ps + 4.59 Olsen P)/c0.41 where Ps is the amount of P sorbed (mg P/kg) from a single addition of 1000 mg P/kg, and c is the resulting solution P concentration (mg P/L). This index provides a simple and accurate method for estimating PBC, a fundamental soil property that influences the P fertiliser requirements of different soil types. phosphorus sorption capacity, single-point phosphorus sorption index, phosphorus retention index, soil properties, Colwell phosphorus, Olsen phosphorus.

Full textAbstract:
Poor mechanical property is a critical problem for phosphoric acid-doped high-temperature proton exchange membranes (HT-PEMs). In order to address this concern, in this work, a 3D network structural poly (aryl ether ketone)-polybenzimidazole (PAEK-cr-PBI) polymer electrolyte membrane was successfully synthesized through crosslinking reaction between poly (aryl ether ketone) with the pendant carboxyl group (PAEK-COOH) and amino-terminated polybenzimidazole (PBI-4NH2). PAEK-COOH with a poly (aryl ether ketone) backbone endows superior thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability, while PBI-4NH2 serves as both a proton conductor and a crosslinker with basic imidazole groups to absorb phosphoric acid. Moreover, the composite membrane of PAEK-cr-PBI blended with linear PBI (PAEK-cr-PBI@PBI) was also prepared. Both membranes with a proper phosphoric acid (PA) uptake exhibit an excellent proton conductivity of around 50 mS cm-1 at 170°C, which is comparable to that of the well-documented PA-doped PBI membrane. Furthermore, the PA-doped PAEK-cr-PBI membrane shows superior mechanical properties of 17 MPa compared with common PA-doped PBI. Based upon these encouraging results, the as-synthesized PAEK-cr-PBI gives a highly practical promise for its application in high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs).

Full textAbstract:
Four types of polybenzimidazole (PBI)-based polymers ( m -PBI, p -PBI, pyridine-based m -PBI and alkylated m -PBI) have been prepared and characterized. Extraction behaviour of heavy metal ions, viz. U(VI), Th(IV) and Pd(II), with these polymers was investigated. Distribution ratios for the extraction of these metal ions were measured as a function of nitric acid concentration. Extraction data reveal that, in general, p -PBI exhibits a higher distribution ratio for U(VI), Th(IV) and Pd(II) compared with the other polymeric resins evaluated in the present study. Column chromatography experiments were carried out with a solution of U(VI), Th(IV) and Pd(II) in dilute nitric acid media using columns packed with m - and p -PBI polymeric material for understanding the sorption and elution behaviour. The p -PBI-based resin has shown higher palladium sorption capacity (1.8 mmol g −1 ). The studies also established that p -PBI resin is a potential candidate material for the recovery of U(VI) and Th(IV) (capacity 0.22 mmol g −1 and 0.13 mmol g −1 ) from an aqueous stream, e.g. mine water samples.

Full textAbstract:
Background. The Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) measures the perception of being parented to the age of 16 years. Low scores on the care dimension and high scores on the overprotection dimension are considered to be risk factors of depression. While the PBI has been shown to be a reliable and valid instrument, the stability of the PBI over extended periods (taking into account individual characteristics and life experience) needs to be demonstrated.Method. The PBI was measured in a non-clinical cohort on four waves between 1978 and 1998, along with a series of self-report measures including state depression and neuroticism. Differences in PBI change over time were examined by gender, lifetime major depression diagnosis, and life event variables, as well as by scores on neuroticism and state depression.Results. Acceptable retest coefficients on PBI scores over the 20-year study were found for the cohort. No differences were found in PBI scores over time on the variables examined, including sex and depression measures.Conclusions. The results indicate long-term stability of the PBI over time. The influences of mood state and life experience appear to have little effect on the stability of the perception of parenting as measured by the PBI. The present study increases confidence in the PBI as a valid measure of perceived parenting over extended time periods.

Full textAbstract:
There has been limited research into the relevance of public benevolent institutions (‘PBI's) to the management of native title benefits. Despite this omission, a new, tax-effective, structure was proposed in 2013, being the ‘Indigenous Community Development Corporation’ (‘ICDC’). PBI characterisation is also becoming more relevant as native title determination numbers increase, such that there is a suitable and interested body, the prescribed body corporate (‘PBC’) that can pursue a variety of functions in fulfilling its statutory duties and in seeking to realise the economic, social and cultural objectives of Indigenous groups. This article asserts that a purpose of addressing Indigenous disadvantage is a PBI purpose and that it permits a broad range of activities in order to meet that end. Accordingly, PBI status should be available for many PBCs and other benefits management structure institutions. As a result, the proposed grounds for introducing the ICDC are significantly less compelling and it is argued that a more cautious approach is warranted, being one that better recognises ICDC limitations and that does not over-emphasise the potential benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Positive body image (PBI) has received attention in the recent research literature. Despite this, its role in daily functioning in different cultural contexts, particularly its potential relationship with academic outcomes, is still lacking. This study aimed to offer an international perspective on the association between PBI and body mass index (BMI), perceived academic achievement, and educational aspirations, as well as the mediating role of self-esteem. A cross-national study was conducted in eight European countries with a total of 2653 female university students. Participants completed an online survey measuring PBI (conceptualized as body appreciation), self-esteem, perceived academic achievement and aspirations, and body mass index (BMI). Results revealed differences in PBI between countries (low magnitude). PBI correlated negatively with BMI in all national groups (low-to-moderate magnitude). Mediation analysis showed that self-esteem mediated the association between PBI and academic variables. Findings from this study suggest that building students’ self-esteem and PBI can be a suitable way to boost academic success.

Full textAbstract:
The development of techniques for the rapid, inexpensive and accurate determination of the phosphorus (P) buffer index (PBI) in soils is important in terms of increasing the efficiency of P application for optimum crop requirements and preventing environmental pollution due to excessive use of P fertilisers. This paper describes the successful implementation of partial least-squares regression (PLSR) from spectra obtained with bench-top and handheld mid-infrared (MIR) spectrometers for the prediction of PBI on 601 representative Australian agricultural soils. By contrast, poor predictions were obtained for available (Colwell) P. Regression models were successfully derived for PBI ranges of 0–800 and 0–150, the latter range resulting in the optimum model considering the dominance of low PBI soils in the sample set. Concentrations of some major soil minerals (mainly kaolinite and gibbsite content for high PBI, and smectites or illites for low PBI), quartz (representative of low surface area of soils) and, to a lesser extent, carbonate and soil organic matter were identified as the main drivers of the PBI models. Models developed with soils sieved to <2 mm presented an accuracy similar to those developed using fine-ground material. The accuracy of the PLSR for the prediction of PBI by using bench-top and handheld instruments was also similar. Our results confirm the possibility of using MIR spectroscopy for the onsite prediction of PBI.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to explore the factors that drive and inhibit national stakeholder organisations’ engagement with an established an umbrella place brand identity (PBI) in the context of country branding, during the PBI implementation stage. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a case study approach to examine Australia’s current country brand identity initiative: Australia Unlimited, as an example of PBI. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with senior executives (n = 39) representing 30 Australian national organisation stakeholders across a range of sectors (i.e. government agencies, public and private organisations and industry associations). Findings The tension between the PBI and the brand identity of the stakeholders’ own organisation was an emergent finding at the heart of potential disengagement. Moreover, stakeholders’ perception of the leadership of the organisation managing the place brand plays a key role in influencing their engagement with PBI. Research limitations/implications The findings contribute to place marketing theory by identifying drivers and inhibitors of stakeholders’ engagement that originated from the PBI itself (PBI-centred factors) and from the stakeholder organisations (stakeholder-centred factors). Practical implications The findings provide a practical framework for place brand managing organisations to foster stakeholders’ engagement during the implementation stage of a PBI initiative. Originality/value Place branding research to date has focussed primarily on resident stakeholders’ engagement in the development of PBI initiatives. This paper contributes to knowledge by proposing a framework that encompasses the drivers and inhibitors of national stakeholder organisations’ engagement with PBI during its implementation phase.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract PBI-4050 (3-pentylbenzenacetic acid sodium salt), a novel first-in-class orally active compound that has completed clinical Phases Ib and II in subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and metabolic syndrome respectively, exerts antifibrotic effects in several organs via a novel mechanism of action, partly through activation of the G protein receptor 40 (GPR40) receptor. Here we evaluate the effects of PBI-4050 in both WT and Gpr40−/− mice on adenine-induced tubulointerstitial injury, anemia and activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway. Adenine-induced CKD was achieved in 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice fed a diet supplemented with 0.25% adenine. After 1 week, PBI-4050 or vehicle was administered daily by oral-gavage for 3 weeks. Gpr40−/− mice were also subjected to adenine-feeding, with or without PBI-4050 treatment. PBI-4050 improved renal function and urine concentrating ability. Anemia was present in adenine-fed mice, while PBI-4050 blunted these effects and led to significantly higher plasma erythropoietin (EPO) levels. Adenine-induced renal fibrosis, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and apoptosis were significantly decreased by PBI-4050. In parallel, Gpr40−/− mice were more susceptible to adenine-induced fibrosis, renal function impairment, anemia and ER stress compared with WT mice. Importantly, PBI-4050 treatment in Gpr40−/− mice failed to reduce renal injury in this model. Taken together, PBI-4050 prevented adenine-induced renal injury while these beneficial effects were lost upon Gpr40 deletion. These data reinforce PBI-4050’s use as a renoprotective therapy and identify GPR40 as a crucial mediator of its beneficial effects.

Full textAbstract:
This research was intended to evaluate the effectiveness of the Process-Based Instruction (PBI) procedure and to identify which teaching strategies students perceived as more useful in their learning. Using a comparison group design with an independent evaluator, we gave a sample of secondary students learning tasks that incorporated PBI strategic plans, while a matched sample in the same school was given similar learning tasks but without PBI. The PBI group outperformed the non-PBI group. These findings confirm previous research with mainly elementary school students showing that PBI facilitaties students’ long-term recall of information. The students (N = 40) identified the teaching strategies of modeling and demonstration as the most relevant for their learning, and found teachers who displayed strategies associated with enhancing motivation and feedback to be more effective.

Full textAbstract:
Polybutylene itaconate (PBI) for modification with divinyl benzene (DVB) and glycerol has been synthesized at 180 °C for 3 h via polycondensation of itaconic acid (IA) and butanediols using catalyst of Ti(OBu)4. Modification on PBI was done with addition of 15%, 20% and 25% DVB (w/w) using benzoyl peroxide. With glycerol, weight variations of glycerol:1,4-butanediol (BDO) in the synthesis were 10%, 30%, and 50% (mole/mole). PBI and PBI modified with DVB and glycerol were characterized with FTIR and TG-DTA. PBI showed a wavenumber shift from 1703 cm-1 to 1728 cm-1 of the C=O functional group from acid to esther. The DVB modification on PBI also showed that the intensity decrease of C=C stretching was due to the formation of crosslinking on the double bond. In the modification with glycerol, three dimensional networking on the polyester occurred through bonding between hydroxyl of glycerol and acid group of IA. Constant intensity of C=C stretching on polyester was seen. The thermal stability of PBI modified with DVB increased, accompanied by rigidity change of the structure. The thermal stability of PBI modified with glycerol decreased, caused by the decrease of regularity degree and the elasticity increase of the three dimensional structure of polyester.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The goal of this study was to determine the potential of PBI-1402, a compound that was shown to provide radio- and chemoprotection, to ameliorate the myeloablative therapy induced cytopenia and/or accelerate blood cell recovery of myeloablated hosts following autologous bone marrow transplantation in mouse model. Mice were exposed to irradiation and transplanted the following day with 5×105 bone marrow cells from syngeneic donors. Following transplantation, mice were divided into two groups that received two different doses of PBI-1402 orally and a control group that received PBS for 14 days post transplantation. The results showed that PBI-1402 treatment significantly diminished post-transplant erythropenia in a dose dependent manner. Similarly, determination of haemoglobin (Hb) demonstrated a significant attenuation of Hb loss and additionally, significantly accelerated post-transplantation recovery with the highest dose of PBI-1402. A significantly higher number of platelets was observed with the highest dose of PBI-1402. In addition, similar results were obtained with analysis of white blood cell (WBC) recovery. To determine if the observed effect of PBI-1402 treatment on red blood cell cytopenia and Hb recovery is the consequence of increased erythrocyte progenitor response to Epo, we performed an Epo dose response experiment on CFU-E bone marrow samples obtained from treated and control mice at different time points post transplantation. The results indicated that erythroid progenitors from treated and control mice responded similarly to Epo. However, PBI-1402 treated mice contained significantly higher number of CFU-E. Interestingly, analysis of more primitive Sca1+ progenitors revealed a significant increase in the number of Sca1+ cells from the bone marrow of mice treated with PBI-1402 (p < 0.05). These results demonstrate that PBI-1402 treatment significantly reduced irradiation induced erythropenia with concomitant acceleration in erythroid and Hb recovery. Additionally, treatment with PBI-1402 accelerated WBC recovery and platelet recovery and increased more primitive Sca1+ progenitors. PBI-1402 may offer protection from myeloabaltive therapy or accelerate recovery from remaining resident or transplanted stem cells.

AbstractPBI Number: 7/46/PBI/2005 explained that in murÄbaḥah financing, if the bank represented the customer to purchase goods, then murÄbaḥah contract must be made after the goods became the bank's property. Meanwhile, BSI KCP Sukoharjo Kartasura carried out a murÄbaḥah contract before the goods became the bank's property. This was not in accordance with the PBI and it couldbe said that there was engineering in financing implementation. This study aimed to analyze the mechanism of murÄbaḥah financing at BSI KCP Sukoharjo Kartasura based on PBI Number: 7/46/PBI/2005 and analyze causative factors of engineering in financing. This study used qualitative field research and the Miles and Huberman method, with data collection techniques were interview with related parties and documentation. This studyconcluded that the murÄbaḥah financing mechanism in BSI KCP Sukoharjo Kartasura consists of filling out forms, BI checking, surveys, etc. The financing mechanism was generally appropriate. However, in its implementation, not all provisions have been carried out properly. BSI KCP Sukoharjo Kartasura carried out amurÄbaḥah contract before the goods became the bank's property. Then, it could be said that there was engineering in the financing implementation. The causative factors were the bank wanted to save time, minimize expenses, etc.Keywords: Financing; Mechanism; MurÄbaḥah; PBI. AbstrakPBI Nomor: 7/46/PBI/2005 menjelaskan bahwa dalam hal pembiayaan murÄbaḥah, apabila bank mewakilkan kepada nasabah untuk membeli barang, maka akad murÄbaḥah harus dilakukan setelah barang menjadi milik bank. Sedangkan BSI KCP Sukoharjo Kartasura melaksanakan akad murÄbaḥah sebelum barang menjadi milik bank. Hal ini tidak sesuai dengan PBI dan dapat dikatakan bahwasannya terdapat rekayasa dalam pelaksanaan pembiayaan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis mekanisme pembiayaan murÄbaḥah di BSI KCP Sukoharjo Kartasura berdasarkan PBI Nomor: 7/46/PBI/2005 dan menganalisis faktor penyebab terjadinya rekayasa dalam pembiayaan tersebut. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif lapangan serta metode Miles dan Huberman, dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa wawancara pihak terkait dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa mekanisme pembiayaan murÄbaḥah di BSI KCP Sukoharjo Kartasura terdiri dari pengisian form, BI checking, survei, dan lain sebagainya. Menurut PBI Nomor: 7/46/PBI/2005, secara umum mekanisme tersebut sudah sesuai. Namun, dalam implementasinya belum semua ketentuan sudah dijalankan sebagaimana mestinya. BSI KCP Sukoharjo Kartasura melaksanakan akad murÄbaḥah sebelum barang menjadi milik bank. Maka, hal ini dapat dikatakan bahwasannya terdapat rekayasa dalam pelaksanaan pembiayaan tersebut. Faktor penyebabnya yakni karena pihak bank sebisa mungkin ingin menghemat waktu, meminimalisir pengeluaran, dan lain sebagainya.Kata Kunci: Mekanisme; MurÄbaḥah; PBI; Pembiayaan.

Abstract Our study estimated the full economic cost of implementing performance-based financing [PBF, the Support for Service Delivery Integration Performance-Based Incentives (SSDI-PBI) programme], as a means of first introducing strategic purchasing in a low-income setting, Malawi. Our analysis distinguished design from implementation costs and traces costs across personnel and non-personnel cost categories over the 2012–15 period. The full cost of the SSDI-PBI programme amounted to USD 3 402 187, equivalent to USD 6.46 per targeted beneficiary. The design phase accounted for about one-third (USD 1 161 332) of the total costs, while the incentives (USD 1 140 436) represented about one-third of the total cost of the intervention and about half the cost of the implementation phase. With a cost of USD 1 605 178, personnel costs represented the dominant cost category. Our study indicated that the introduction of PBF entailed consumption of a substantial amount of resources, hence representing an important opportunity cost for the health system.

Abstract Background: PBI-1402 is a novel orally active low molecular weight synthetic compound with erythropoiesis stimulating activity. Furthermore, a clinical phase I study showed that PBI-1402 induced a significant increase (100%, p < 0.0001, compared to placebo) of relative and absolute reticulocyte count in healthy volunteers after 21 days of oral treatment and was devoid of significant side effects. Outcomes: The objectives of this clinical phase Ib/II trial were to study the safety and tolerability of PBI-1402 and to assess its biological efficacy on hemoglobin (Hb) level and red blood cell (RBC) count in patients with Chemotherapy-Induced Anemia (CIA). Methods: An open label phase Ib/II trial, monitored by a US CRO (Pharm-Olam International), was conducted in patients developing anemia after chemotherapy treatment. Three cohorts of 6 CIA patients received 8 weeks of treatment with PBI-1402 once a day, at different doses, and were monitored every two weeks for safety, tolerability, Hb level, RBC count and blood chemistry. Patients remained on their chemotherapy during PBI-1402 treatment. Results: To date, 12 CIA patients have completed their PBI-1402 treatment. 83% of patients demonstrated a significant increase in RBC (p = 0.015) and 66% in Hb (p = 0.038). Among the responders, the mean Hb increase was 1.1 g/dL (p = 0.0007) from a baseline Hb value of 9.8 g/dL. No patient required a blood transfusion and only one patient had an Hb content below 9 g/dL (8.9 g/dL). PBI-1402 was well tolerated and no significant side effects were observed. Conclusion: PBI-1402, via a mechanism of action distinct from erythropoietin, induced sufficient erythropoiesis to raise the RBC level and Hb in CIA patients. In addition, PBI-1402 is safe and well tolerated. PBI-1402 offers the potential for a novel therapy of the anemia of CIA.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract PBI-1402 is a non-toxic, well-defined low molecular weight synthetic hematopoietic growth stimulant. PBI-1402 promotes the proliferation and maturation of hematopoietic progenitors (myeloid and erythroid populations) yielding a biological efficacy comparable to G-CSF, GM-CSF and EPO in in vitro human bone marrow cell proliferation and colony formation assays. An additive effect is observed when PBI-1402 is combined with G-CSF, GM-CSF and EPO. In human bone marrow colony assay, PBI-1402 enhances the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells: CFU-GEMM, CFU-GM with a predominant effect on BFU-E. Furthermore, PBI-1402 exerts its activity via a different mechanism of action than EPO and stem cell factor (SCF) and at an earlier stage on more immature hematopoietic progenitors. PBI-1402 is targeted as an adjunct to cancer chemo/radiotherapy, bone marrow transplantation and diseases involving neutropenia and anemia.

PBI JKN atau Penerima Bantuan Iuran Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional, adalah peserta jaminan kesehatan bagi fakir miskin dan orang tidak mampu yang iurannya dibayari oleh pemerintah sebagi peserta program jaminan kesehatan. Peserta PBI JKN adalah fakir miskin yang ditetapkan oleh pemerintah dan diatur melalui peraturan pemerintah. Alur untuk menjadi peserta PBI JKN yang pertama peserta menyiapkan persyaratan berupa fotocopy KTP suami istri 2 lembar, Surat Keterangan Tidak Mampu (SKTM) dari Kelurahan 1 asli 1 fotocopy, fotocopy Kartu Keluarga (KK) 2 lembar. Jika persyaratan sudah dilengkapi maka akan dibuatkan surat rekomendasi dari Dinas Sosial, kemudian surat rekomendasi dari Dinas Sosial diantarkan ke Dinas Kesehatan. Jumlah peserta PBI JKN saat ini pada Kota Metro 53.023 warga. Mengingat jumlah peserta yang relative banyak, tentunya data PBI JKN harus diolah dengan baik agar masyarakat dengan kepesertaan PBI JKN dalam Program Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional-Kartu Indonesia Sehat bisa tepat sasaran. Pengolahan data saat ini menggunakan Microsoft Excel dan Microsoft Word. Kelemahan: Pencetakan atau permohonan surat rekomendasi saat ini menggunakan Microsoft Word, sehingga membutuhkan waktu yang lama apabila ada warga yang mengantri untuk membuat surat rekomendasi PBI JKN karena harus membuatkan surat rekomendasi PBI JKN satu persatu karena belum secara otomatis. Aplikasi dirancang menggunakan pendekatan pemrograman terstruktur yang berbasis desktop, dengan teknik pengujian aplikasi menggunakan teknik Black Box Testing. Bahasa pemrograman yang digunakan adalah Java NetBeans, dengan database MySQL dan report menggunakan iReport. Alat pengembangan sistem yang digunakan antara lain flowchart, dfd, erd. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, maka dibutuhkan sebuah aplikasi yang dapat membantu untuk proses pembuatan surat rekomendasi PBI JKN pada Dinas Sosial Kota Metro.

Este artículo analiza la conexión de largo plazo entre el grado de apertura comercial y el desempeño económico en América Latina y el Caribe en el periodo 1960-2016. Aprovechando datos de la base de Indicadores del Desarrollo Mundial del Banco Mundial, y usando un modelo recursivo ad hoc, se encuentra que el coeficiente de apertura comercial tiene un muy significativo ajuste estadístico como variable explicativa de un conjunto de indicadores de desempeño regional (i. e., la escala del producto bruto interno, PBI; el PBI por habitante; las tasas de crecimiento anual del PBI y el PBI por habitante; y las ratios del PBI y el PBI por habitante, como proporciones de índices similares de los Estados Unidos de América). Ese resultado confirmaría que, durante el periodo analizado, el grado de apertura comercial en América Latina ha explicado —para bien y para mal— la performance del entorno de negocios en la región.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Erythropoiesis is regulated by an intricated network of transcription factors and other molecules that mediate differentiation of stem cell progenitors into erythroid lineage. PBI-1402 is a non-toxic, well-defined chemo- and radio-protective orally active small molecule which stimulates erythropoiesis. In vivo studies demonstrate that PBI-1402 has an immunorestorative effect in anemia induced by phenylhydrazine or lethal irradiation. In phenylhydrazine-induced anemia, PBI-1402 treated mice had an increased number of hematopoietic progenitor cells compared to the control mice. This increase was more pronounced in the erythroid lineage (BFU-E and CFU-E). In myeloablated mice that received a syngeneic bone marrow transplant, oral treatment with PBI-1402 resulted in a significant increase in peripheral erythrocyte count and hemoglobin concentration. In conclusion, these results indicate that PBI-1402 plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells. Therefore, PBI-1402 may be useful for the treatment of anemia associated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, bone marrow transplantation and cancer.
