Abstract Fattening mud or mangrove crab, Scylla olivacea, has been practised in recent years in brackishwater ponds in Bangladesh. It is a relatively new practice in the country. Small- to medium-sized and even large but gonadal immature crabs that have low market value are bought from farmers, fishers, or from the market and stocked in fattening ponds. Fattening of crab is profitable because of fast turnover, low operating cost, high survival rate and good market demand. Two types of brackishwater earthen ponds are used to fatten crabs. One type is connected to the river through inlets and outlets to exchange water during high and ebb tides. Another type is not connected to the river but water is pumped into and discharged from the pond. The importance of fattening has been recognized as a source of income and employment to alleviate the poverty of coastal people. Through this technology, pond and ditches in the coastal region can be used throughout the year. On the basis of an interview with farmers, a net income of Tk 3,800 (US$ 65.50) can be achieved from a 120 m2 pond using the crab fattening technology. There is potential to expand crab fattening practices in coastal areas. However, an inadequate supply of stockable crab and feed are major constraints in this sector.

From April 1984 to December 1987, the French Pediatric Oncology Society (SFOP) organized a randomized trial for advanced-stage B-cell lymphoma without CNS involvement to study the possibility of reducing the length of treatment to 4 months. After receiving the same three intensive six-drug induction courses based on high-dose fractionated cyclophosphamide, high-dose methotrexate (HD MTX), and cytarabine in continuous infusion, patients were evaluated for remission. Those who achieved complete remission (CR) were randomized between a long arm (five additional courses with two additional drugs; 16 weeks of treatment) and a short arm (two additional courses; 5 weeks). For patients in partial remission (PR), intensification of treatment was indicated. Two hundred sixteen patients were registered: 15 stage II nasopharyngeal and extensive facial tumors, 167 stage III, and 34 stage IV, 20 of the latter having more than 25% blast cells in bone marrow. The primary sites of involvement were abdomen in 172, head and neck in 30, thorax in two, and other sites in 12. One hundred sixty-seven patients are alive in first CR with a minimum follow-up of 18 months; four are lost to follow-up. Eight patients died from initial treatment failure, 14 died from toxicity or deaths unrelated to tumor or treatment, and 27 relapsed. The event-free survival (EFS), with a median follow-up of 38 months, is 78% (SE 3) for all the patients, 73% (SE 11) for the stage II patients, 80% (SE 3) for the stage III patients, and 68% (SE 8) for the stage IV and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. One hundred sixty-six patients were randomized: 82 in the short arm and 84 in the long arm. EFS is, respectively, 89% and 87%. Statistical analysis confirms equivalence of both treatment arms with regard to EFS. Moreover, morbidity was lower in the short arm. This study confirms the high survival rate obtained in the previous LMB 0281 study without radiotherapy or debulking surgery and demonstrates the effectiveness of short treatment.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the use of drilled slanted holes filled with different substrates in the revegetation of rock slopes. Slanted holes were drilled on rock slopes using pneumatic drillers in an abandoned limestone quarry area. These holes were filled with twelve different substrates, treated with Trichoderma harzianum. One climbing plant of Ivy (Hedera rhombea), a native woody plant (Lespedeza cyrtobotrya), three native herbaceous plants (Dianthus barbatus, Siberian chrysanthemum and Aster koraiensis) and one exotic grass plant (Festuca arundinacea) were planted in each of the soils. Six months after planting, only Ivy, Festuca arundinacea, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya and Dianthus barbatus were still observed growing on the soils, while the other plant species had already died in all the 12 soil treatments. Leaf mold soil + 50% Trichoderma harzianum provide the best conditions for revegetation of Festuca arundinacea, as this plant had its highest mean height, high survival rate, with impressive growth rate on this soil. Lespedeza cyrtobotrya also had its most favorable growth on Leaf mold soil + 50% T. harzianum. Mixed soil + 100% T. harzianum provide the best conditions for revegetation of Ivy. Leaf mold soil + 100% T. harzianum provide the best condition for revegetation of Dianthus barbatus as it had its highest mean height, highest growth rate and high survival rate on this soil. Siberian chrysanthemum and Aster koraiensis had the worse results as all of the plants died within a short period of time after planting. Ivy had the highest mean height, followed by Festuca arundinacea. The planted Ivy and Festuca arundinacea now form the vegetation of the research site which together with the substrate is now providing habitat to some wildlife like some species of centipedes, earthworms, insects and wild plants. Less than one year after planting, F. arundinacea already produced flowers and seeds which would further increase the plant population after dispersal and germination. Drilling slanted holes on rock slopes is therefore a feasible method to be used for revegetation and restoration of degraded quarries.The revegetation of steep rock slopes of quarries is a very challenging activity. However, the method of drilling slanted holes on rock slopes is a feasible method to be used for restoration of degraded quarries. These holes could serve in soil deposition and water retention that will further enhance plant growth.Methods of improving seed germination as well as enhancing growth of plants are also imperative in revegetation success of such degraded landscapes. Different percentage mixtures of T. harzianum in different soils could enhance plant growth depending on the target plant species. Different substrates could thus be used in such revegetation process depending on the target plant species.Revegetation would provide habitat and improve landscape beauty and stability, thus it is important for successful restoration of rock slopes

Objectives: Venoarterial (VA) ECMO has emerged as a successful modality for bridging patients with critical cardiogenic shock to durable support. However, LV distention on ECMO impairs RV and lung recovery and can result in the need for a temporary RVAD. Additionally, patients on VA ECMO with organ dysfunction may require ongoing LV assistance for recovery prior to durable LVAD conversion. Placement of a large apical LV vent allows bedside conversion to LVAD and provides time for organ recovery prior to elective durable device implantation. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that LV venting on ECMO accelerates RV recovery, hastening conversion to LVAD. Methods: ECMO cases from January 2012 to April 2014 were reviewed following IRB approval. Sixteen patients met INTERMACS Category 1 criteria who were placed on VA ECMO for cardiogenic or post-cardiotomy shock. Eight patients had LV venting and eight had standard peripheral cannulation. Refractory pulmonary edema, CPR during cannulation, and severe LV distention were indications for LV venting. A 32 French malleable cannula was placed by limited anterolateral thoracotomy into the LV apex. Bedside LVAD conversion was performed by percutaneous decannulation of the venous line and removal of oxygenator from circuit. Results: Conversion to temporary LVAD was successful in all LV vent cases at a mean timepoint of 5.9 (±1.3) days after LV venting compared with 13.5 (±4.9) days in non-vented patients (p = 0.07). RVAD requirement was 25% in non-vented patients and 0% in vented patients. 30-day mortality was 25% for both groups. Conclusions: LV venting as an adjunct to VA ECMO facilitates RV recovery to enable early LVAD conversion at the bedside. It also provides organ recovery time and obviates the need for a temporary RVAD at the time of durable LVAD implantation. In conclusion, the LV apical venting technique allows staged recovery of critically ill patients in biventricular and multiple organ failure with a high survival rate.

ERP systems are expected to provide many benefits, including improved business efficiency. However, they are also blamed for several business problems and failures. Past studies have analyzed investments in ERP systems based on net income, return on investment, new present value or change in market value of a firm. We argue that an analysis of more direct measures—intangible or tangible—would enhance confidence in the efficacy of ERP systems. We investigate the impact of ERP systems implementation on operational efficiency of medium sized firms in the pharmaceutical and chemicals industry. Our analysis of the data indicates that for a majority of the firms improvement of operational performance expected due to ERP systems did not materialize.

Thestudy was conducted to assess the socio-economic condition of the crab fatteners in the southwest part of Bangladesh.About 52% farmers have an experience of 5 to 10 yearsof indicating that involvement in mud crab fattening is the recent development and innovation in those areas.The Hindus in the coastal region found to have more interest in crab farming. On the other hand, about 27% Muslim were also found to involve in this farming.Comparativelyhigher involvements of Hindus farmers were found in Khulna region. Mostly young people found to have more involvement ranging from 26 to 35 years old which constituted more than 38% of the total interviewed population. About 40% farmers showedhigher satisfaction bycrab fattening while,fewfarmers reported some negative perception. Most of their farmingwere small scale and the farmers also accounted the higher seed cost with low profitability. However, well developedco-operation and partnershipbetween farmers, fishermen, middlemen and wholesaler can also improve this sector for sustainable development.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v6i1.22056 J.
