The identity of a product has an important part for the company. Product identity should have the unique aspect to draw attention of customers and to win the competition with the other competitors. Nowadays, the identity of a product with foreign language is having uptrends because most people think it is unique and draws more attention. Therefore, foreign language has an influence to the identity of a brand. The development of technology and language make most of the owner of a product choose a foreign language than Indonesian language. Moreover, the assumption of Indonesian language does not have a rich vocabulary than Indonesian language become the main reason. Besides that, an identity of a brand with foreign language can deliver the main point of a product to the customer. From the context of the problem raised, there are some question asked, how does a foreign language in the identity of a product can affect the buyer's decision process? And what is the solution to raise the use of Indonesian language for the identity of a product? This study used qualitative research with a questionnaires and interviews as a way to collecting data. Therefore, the author hopes this research can contribute to language development and local product in Indonesia. From the research with questionnaires and interviews, it showed that most people tend to choose a brand of a product with a foreign language. However, the Indonesian language product brands also have the big contribution to the increase of Indonesian economic.

Endophyte-infected fescue is a major cool season forage used for livestock production in the United States and through other areas of the world. A unique aspect of this forage resource is the symbiotic relationship with an endophytic fungus (Epichloë coenophiala) that has detrimental impact on herbivores due to toxic ergot alkaloids. Research over the past 50 years has unveiled details regarding this symbiotic relationship. This review focuses on the origin of tall fescue in the United States and the consequences of its wide-spread utilization as a livestock forage, along with the discovery and toxicodynamics of ergot alkaloids produced by E. coenophiala. The majority of past ergot alkaloid research has focused on observing phenotypic changes that occur in livestock affected by ergot alkaloids, but recent investigation of the metabolome, transcriptome, and proteome have shown that fescue toxicity-related illnesses are much more complex than previous research suggests.

Abstract Humans have a propensity to readily adopt others’ perspective, which often influences their behavior even when it seemingly should not. This altercentric influence has been widely studied in adults, yet we lack an understanding of its ontogenetic origins. The current studies investigated whether 14-month-olds’ search in a box for potential objects is modulated by another person’s belief about the box’s content. We varied the person’s potential belief such that in her presence/absence an object was removed, added, or exchanged for another, leading to her true/false belief about the object’s presence (Experiment 1, n = 96); or transformed into another object, leading to her true/false belief about the object’s identity (i.e., the objects represented under a specific aspect, Experiment 2, n = 32). Infants searched longer if the other person believed that an object remained in the box, showing an altercentric influence early in development. These results suggest that infants spontaneously represent others’ beliefs involving multiple objects and raise the possibility that infants can appreciate that others encode the world under a unique aspect.

An overview is given of the special issue on edible insects covering a number of aspects along the value change. The articles presented cover topics about producing insects both as food for humans and feed for animals, ranging from environmental impact, facility design, (left-over) substrates, the role of microbes, genetics, diseases, nutrition, to insect welfare. Possible health benefits of insects for humans and animals are discussed as well as the potential dangers in terms of allergies and chemical/biological contaminants. Regulatory frameworks are examined and assessed for remaining obstacles. The technologies dealing with the processing and extraction of proteins, lipids, and chitin were also reviewed. Consumers’ perception of insect-derived food products is discussed as well. A unique aspect of this special issue within the ‘Journal of Insects as Food and Feed’ is a first attempt to discuss the economics of the industry. The special issue concludes with a discussion of policy and challenges facing the sector.

Background: Capstone courses are well documented in pharmacy programmes, but vary in content, methods, and assessment. Aim: To describe the development and implementation of a capstone course for pharmacy students. Description: Components of the capstone course included clinical reviews, pre-tests, calculations, cases, and formative and summative objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs). Formative OSCEs were a unique aspect of this capstone course, and were used to help students identify clinical strengths and recognise areas of weakness prior to advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPE). Evaluation: A total of 72 students completed the capstone course in spring 2018. Student survey data indicated that the format of the course was conducive to learning, particularly the use of formative OSCEs. Conclusion: A capstone course was successfully designed and implemented that assessed a variety of pharmacy knowledge and skills prior to APPE. Student feedback and performance in the course provided insight that led to revisions in the pre-APPE curriculum.

Abstract In 1753, a pregnant woman named Paula was kidnapped in Angola, enslaved, and taken to Brazil. Four decades later, in 1794, Paula's children and grandchildren, 15 in total, filed a lawsuit for their family's freedom in Rio de Janeiro claiming that Paula was a free woman in Angola before her enslavement. This article reconstructs Paula and her descendants' multigenerational legal battle and reveals that their struggle for freedom was, in large part, a struggle against archives. I examine a unique aspect of the freedom suit: witness testimony from Paula's former kin and community in Angola, collected across the Atlantic Ocean four decades after Paula's enslavement. I argue that the memory and testimony of Paula's kin and community in Angola formed a powerful counterarchive that not only narrated her freedom in Angola but also challenged the Brazilian colonial archive's reliance on paper evidence of freedom.

Charlotte Brontë’s eighteen-page fragment, ‘The Story of Willie Ellin’, written shortly after the publication of Villette in 1853, combines the gothic and realism and uses multiple narrators to tell a disturbing story of cruelty towards a child. The generic instability and disordered temporal framework of this fragment make it unlike anything Brontë had previously written, yet it has attracted the attention of few scholars. Those who have discussed it have condemned it as a failure; the later fragment ‘Emma’, also left incomplete by the author's premature death, has been seen as the more likely beginning of a successor to Villette. ‘The Story of Willie Ellin’ reveals Brontë at her most experimental as she explores the use of different narrative voices, including that of an unnamed genderless ‘ghost’, to tell a story from different perspectives. It also shows Brontë representing a child's experience of extreme physical abuse which goes far beyond the depictions of chastisement in Jane Eyre (1847). This essay argues that ‘The Story of Willie Ellin’ affords rich insights into Brontë’s ideas and working practices in her final years, suggesting that it should be more widely acknowledged as a unique aspect of Brontë’s oeuvre, revealing the new directions she may have taken had she lived to complete another novel.

With a presumed origin in bats, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a major source of morbidity and mortality in the humanpopulation, and the causative agent, SARS-CoV-2, aligns most closely at the genome level with the bat coronavirusesRaBtCoV4991/RaTG13 and RmYN02. The ability of bats to provide reservoirs of numerous viruses in addition to coronavirusesremains an active area of research. Unique aspects of the physiology of the chiropteran immune system may contributeto the ability of bats to serve as viral reservoirs. The coronavirus spike protein plays important roles in viral pathogenesis and the immune response. Although much attention has focused on the spike receptor-binding domain, a unique aspect of SARS-CoV-2 as compared with its closest relatives is the presence of a furin cleavage site in the S1–S2 region of the spike protein. Proteolytic activation is likely an important feature that allows SARS-CoV-2—and other coronaviruses—to overcome the species barriers and thus cause human disease. The diversity of bat species limits the ability to draw broad conclusions about viral pathogenesis, but comparisons across species and with reference to humans and other susceptible mammals may guide future research in this regard.

This case report presents multidisciplinary management of a sub gingival crown-root fracture of a 15-year-old patient referred to the dental trauma clinic with an extensive tooth fracture of the permanent maxillary central incisors after a traumatic injury during a volleyball game. This work aimed to present an alternative approach for complicated dental fracture after trauma obtaining immediate resolution. A unique aspect of the case was that the patient was referred from the semiology clinic without pain and with signs of extensive cracking after 13 days of trauma. However, no endodontic involvement was observed either clinically or radio graphically. After examining a probe, the fracture trace dislocated with pulp exposure and sub-gingival extension. An alternative isolation technique was presented to enable immediate endodontic treatment and restoration of fractured teeth.

Abstract Over a third of the world’s population lives at risk of potentially severe Plasmodium vivax induced malaria. The unique aspect of the parasite’s biology and interactions with the human host make it harder to control and eliminate the disease. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and Duffy-negative blood groups are two red blood cell variations that confer protection against malaria. Molecular genotyping of G6PD and Duffy was performed in 225 patients with severe and non-severe malaria. Of the 225 patients, 29 (12.94%) and 43 (19.19%) were carriers of the G6PD c.202G>A and c.376A>G, respectively. For the Duffy genotype (c.-67T>C in the GATA promoter region), 70 (31.11%) were phenotyped as Fy(a+b-), 98 (43.55%) Fy(a+b+), 56 (24.9%) Fy(a-b+) and 1 (0.44%) Fy(a-b-). The FY*01/FY*02 genotype was prevalent in both non-severe and severe malaria. However, the frequency increased when SNP c.376A>G was also present. In women, the FY*01/FY*02 allele occurred concomitantly with c.376A>G more frequently in non-severe malaria, while in men, this combination is revealed predominantly in severe malaria. G202A and A376G G6PD variants were higher in severe malaria, with c.202G>A (RR= 4.76 – p=.009) and c.376A>G (RR: 6.47 – p<0.001) strongly associated with the trials malaria (p<0.001). Duffy phenotype Fy(a-b+) (p=0.003) and genotype FY*02/ FY*02 (p=0.007) presented the highest values parasitemia density of the vivax malaria. Research on G6PD and Duffy antigen deficiencies has been valuable, particularly when focused on densely populated areas. Altogether, c.202G>A and c.376A>G SNPs seem to be risk factors for the development of severe vivax malaria. Molecular diagnosis before treatment may be necessary in the Amazonian population and uncomplicated malaria showed a greater frequency of variation for GATA and G6PD variants than severe malaria.
