About 120 schools in the Old City have sent letters of refusal to health authorities in regard to the measles – rubella vaccination camps.

Hyderabad: About 120 schools in the Old City have sent letters of refusal to health authorities in regard to the measles – rubella vaccination camps, according to Dr. G. Sudhera, programme officer, health department. “The immunisation programme has also been ineffective in certain schools where the staff, swayed by rumours spread through the social media, tendered ‘frank refusals’ or hindered the in-school immunisation drive,” Ms Sudhera said.

In Hyderabad, of the 3,639 schools 2,090 have been covered so far. In 30 per cent of these 2,000-odd schools, nearly 60 per cent of children have refused vaccination in the Old City area, she said. To allay the apprehensions, the Helping Hand Foundation, in association with UNICED, WHO country office, Centre for Disease Control – USA and TS health department held panel discussions on Thursday on ‘Debugging Myths of Measles – Rubella’ vaccine. Renowned doctors and Muslim scholars were present.

Mufti Mahmood Zubair Qasmi, who was present at discussion, said that there was a conspiracy against the residents of Old City. He urged the mothers and parents to cooperate in the vaccination drive and help eliminate measles and rubella.

MR vaccine fear: State takes help of Muslim elders

Following rumours spread on social media that the ongoing measles and rubella vaccination campaign among students was targeted at making Muslim kids impotent, the Hyderabad revenue department is holding meetings with Muslim religious leaders and madrasa managements. The rumour began in May in Haryana and rural Assam and spread to Tamil Nadu and Karnataka before making its reappearance when the Telangana state administration took up the immunisation drive.

Hyderabad joint collector M. Prashanthi said, “Last week we held a meeting with imams, religious leaders and madrasa managements to clarify on the MR vaccine. We are also creating awareness among parents.” Senior gynaecologist Dr Anagani Manjula said there was no medicine that makes one impotent. A pediatrician from the city Dr Arif, said the MR vaccine was safe and could be given to children.

“Except for side-effects like fever or rashes, children will have no other health related issues,” he said. Senior pediatrician Dr Farhan Shaikh said the MR vaccine should be given to children age of between nine months and 15 years to protect them from the diseases. “It is compulsory for the good health of every child and parents must not believe rumours floating on social media,” he said.

Lesson: Introduction to Vaccinations

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of vaccinations and their importance in preventing diseases.

**Materials:** None

**Introduction:** Vaccinations are one of the most important medical discoveries in history. They have saved countless lives and helped to eradicate many deadly diseases. In this lesson, we will learn about what vaccinations are, how they work, and why they are important.

**Section 1: What are vaccinations?**

Vaccinations are a type of medication that helps to protect people from diseases. They work by introducing a small amount of a virus or bacteria into the body, which triggers an immune response. This immune response helps the body to remember how to fight off the disease if it is exposed to it in the future.

**Section 2: How do vaccinations work?**

When a person receives a vaccination, their immune system is introduced to a small amount of the virus or bacteria that causes a specific disease. This stimulates the immune system to produce cells called lymphocytes and antibodies, which are special proteins that can recognize and attack the virus or bacteria. Once the immune system has produced these cells and antibodies, it remembers how to do it, so if the person is exposed to the same disease in the future, their immune system can quickly recognize and fight it off.

**Section 3: Why are vaccinations important?**

Vaccinations are important because they help to prevent the spread of diseases and save lives. Many diseases, such as measles, polio, and hepatitis B, used to be common and deadly. However, thanks to vaccinations, these diseases are now rare in many parts of the world. Vaccinations also help to protect people who cannot receive certain vaccines due to medical reasons, such as infants, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems.

**Section 4: Examples of vaccinations**

There are many different types of vaccinations available, each designed to protect against specific diseases. Some examples include:

- MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine
- DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) vaccine
- HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine
- Hepatitis A and B vaccines
- Flu vaccine

**Section 5: Conclusion**

Vaccinations are an important part of public health and have saved countless lives. By introducing a small amount of a virus or bacteria into the body, vaccinations help to stimulate the immune system and protect against future infections. It is important for everyone to receive vaccinations when recommended in order to protect themselves and others from preventable diseases.

Lesson: Keyboard Shortcuts for Python Developers
Introduction:
Keyboard shortcuts are essential for Python developers to increase productivity and efficiency while coding. In this lesson, we will learn about a crucial keyboard shortcut that allows us to move the cursor to the next line without having to reach the end of the current line.
Section 1: Understanding the Keyboard Shortcut
The keyboard shortcut we will learn about is "shift+return." This combination allows us to move the cursor to the next line if it is not already at the end of the current line.
Section 2: Practical Example
Let's say we are writing a Python function that prints the sum of two numbers. We want to add a comment explaining what the function does. Instead of reaching the end of the line and hitting "return" to start a new line, we can use the keyboard shortcut "shift+return" to move the cursor to the next line and start typing the comment.
```python
def add_numbers(x, y):
    # This function adds two numbers
    result = x + y
    return result
```
Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
This keyboard shortcut can be incredibly useful in many situations. For example, when working with long lines of code, it can save time and effort to move the cursor to the next line quickly. Additionally, when writing documentation or comments, the shortcut can help make the code more readable and understandable.
Section 4: Critical Thinking
While learning keyboard shortcuts may seem like a small task, it is essential to remember that they can significantly impact our productivity and efficiency as developers. By taking the time to learn and practice these shortcuts, we can improve our workflow and ultimately produce better code.
Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about a crucial keyboard shortcut for Python developers - "shift+return." This shortcut allows us to move the cursor to the next line without having to reach the end of the current line. By mastering this shortcut, we can increase our productivity and efficiency while coding. We also explored practical examples, real-world scenarios, and critical thinking related to this topic. Finally, we emphasized the importance of continuous learning and improvement in our field.

Interaction of locust apolipophorin III with lipoproteins and phospholipid vesicles: effect of glycosylation.
Apolipophorin III (apoLp-III) from Locusta migratoria is an exchangeable apolipoprotein that binds reversibly to lipoprotein surfaces. The native protein is glycosylated at Asn-18 and Asn-85. Variable attachment of five distinct oligosaccharide moieties at the two glycosylation sites results in molecular weight heterogeneity, as seen by mass spectrometry. The main mass peak of 20,488 Da decreases to 17,583 Da after removal of carbohydrate, indicating that apoLp-III carbohydrate mass is approximately 14% by weight. Deglycosylated apoLp-III induced clearance of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol vesicles at a faster rate than glycosylated apoLp-III. However, in lipoprotein binding assays, in which apoLp-III interacts with surface-localized diacylglycerol, only minor differences in binding were observed. The fluorescence properties of 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate were unaffected by the glycosylation state of apoLp-III, indicating that no changes in the relative amount of exposed hydrophobic surface occurred as a result of carbohydrate removal. We propose that glycosyl moieties affect the ability of apoLp-III to transform phospholipid bilayer vesicles into disc-like complexes by steric hindrance. This is due to the requirement that apoLp-III penetrate the bilayer substrate prior to conformational opening of the helix bundle. On the other hand, the glycosyl moieties do not affect lipoprotein binding interactions as it does not involve deep protein penetration into the lipid milieu. Rather, lipoprotein binding is based on oriented protein contact with the lipid surface followed by opening of the helix bundle, which allows formation of a stable interaction with surface exposed hydrophobic sites.

textbook:
Core Value: The interaction of locust apolipophorin III with lipoproteins and phospholipid vesicles can be affected by glycosylation.

Self-Taught Lesson:
## Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about the interaction of locust apolipophorin III with lipoproteins and phospholipid vesicles. We will also explore how glycosylation can affect this interaction.
## Section 2: What is Apolipophorin III?
Apolipophorin III, also known as apoLp-III, is an exchangeable apolipoprotein that is found in the blood plasma of some animals, including the locust. It is responsible for binding to lipoprotein surfaces reversibly.
## Section 3: Glycosylation and its Effect on Apolipophorin III
Apolipophorin III has two glycosylation sites at Asn-18 and Asn-85. The native protein contains variable attachment of five distinct oligosaccharide moieties at these sites. This results in molecular weight heterogeneity, with the main mass peak being approximately 14% heavier due to the presence of carbohydrates.
## Section 4: Effect of Glycosylation on Lipoprotein Clearance
Deglycosylated apoLp-III induced clearance of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol vesicles at a faster rate than glycosylated apoLp-III. This suggests that glycosylation can affect the clearance of lipoproteins.
## Section 5: Effect of Glycosylation on Lipoprotein Binding
In lipoprotein binding assays, where apoLp-III interacts with surface-localized diacylglycerol, only minor differences in binding were observed between glycosylated and deglycosylated apoLp-III. This indicates that the glycosylation state of apoLp-III does not have a significant impact on its ability to bind to lipoproteins.
## Section 6: Conclusion
In summary, glycosylation can affect the interaction of locust apolipophorin III with lipoproteins and phospholipid vesicles. However, the effect of glycosylation on lipoprotein clearance and binding is minimal. Understanding the role of glycosylation in apolipoprotein interactions can help us better understand the function of these proteins in the body.

text: In the blog it states that you should consider the size of your windows, before choosing blinds. I have some rather large windows that I would like to get wooden blinds for. I'll have to find a tape measurer, so that I can give the store exact measurements, to find the perfect fit. Thanks for the helpful blog.. I never knew that it's best to choose vertical blinds if you have oversized windows because they can allow you to custom order them in any size. My mother is planning to buy blinds for her newly constructed house. I noticed that she opted for bigger windows this time which will require bigger blinds. Based on the size of the windows she has at her new house, it will make sense for her to consider vertical blinds to ensure that the blinds are going to fit the windows perfectly. Thanks for the tips!

The role of certain oxidative enzymes, catalase, and beta-glucosidase on virulence of Cephalosporium maydis.
Isolates of Cephalosporium maydis varied in their pathogenicity to D.C. 67 maize cultivar from highly to weakly pathogenic. Highly pathogenic isolates showed lower activity of polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, cytochrome oxidase, and beta-glucosidase enzymes and higher activity of catalase and dehydrogenase than weakly pathogenic isolates. Enzymes production by the tested isolates increased as the culture age increased; except in case of catalase enzyme, the reverse action was detected. The role of these enzymes in the virulence of C. maydis is suggested and discussed.

Lesson: The Role of Oxidative Enzymes in Pathogenicity of Cephalosporium maydis

Introduction:
Cephalosporium maydis is a fungal pathogen that affects maize crops, causing significant economic losses. The pathogenicity of C. maydis varies among different isolates, with some being highly pathogenic while others are weakly pathogenic. In this lesson, we will explore the role of certain oxidative enzymes, specifically catalase, and beta-glucosidase, on the virulence of C. maydis.

Section 1: Oxidative Enzymes and Their Functions

Oxidative enzymes are proteins that catalyze the transfer of electrons from molecules to oxygen, generating free radicals and other reactive species. These enzymes play essential roles in various biological processes, including respiration, detoxification, and defense against pathogens. In C. maydis, several oxidative enzymes have been identified, including polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, cytochrome oxidase, and beta-glucosidase.

Polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase are involved in the degradation of phenolic compounds, which are abundant in plant tissues. Cytochrome oxidase is a key enzyme in the electron transport chain, responsible for generating ATP during cellular respiration. Beta-glucosidase is responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates, such as cellulose, into simpler sugars.

Catalase is another important enzyme that plays a crucial role in the defense against reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during host-pathogen interactions. ROS can cause damage to both the pathogen and the host, so the ability to detoxify these molecules is essential for pathogen survival.

Section 2: The Role of Oxidative Enzymes in Pathogenicity

Highly pathogenic isolates of C. maydis were found to have lower activity of polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, and cytochrome oxidase, and higher activity of catalase and dehydrogenase compared to weakly pathogenic isolates. This suggests that the production of these enzymes may be related to the virulence of the pathogen.

On the other hand, the activity of beta-glucosidase did not show a significant difference between highly and weakly pathogenic isolates. This enzyme is known to play a role in the degradation of plant cell walls, which is essential for pathogen invasion. Therefore, it is possible that the differences in beta-glucosidase activity do not significantly contribute to the variation in pathogenicity among C. maydis isolates.

Section 3: Enzyme Production and Virulence

The production of enzymes by C. maydis isolates increased as the culture age increased, except for catalase enzyme, where the reverse action was detected. This suggests that the regulation of enzyme production may be related to the pathogenicity of the fungus.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the role of certain oxidative enzymes, particularly catalase and beta-glucosidase, in the virulence of C. maydis has been suggested. Further research is needed to elucidate the precise mechanisms by which these enzymes contribute to pathogenicity and to identify potential targets for control strategies.

Glossary:
- Oxidative enzymes: Proteins that catalyze the transfer of electrons from molecules to oxygen, generating free radicals and other reactive species.
- Polyphenol oxidase: An oxidative enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of phenolic compounds.
- Peroxidase: An oxidative enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of phenolic compounds and hydrogen peroxide.
- Cytochrome oxidase: An oxidative enzyme that is responsible for generating ATP during cellular respiration.
- Beta-glucosidase: An enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars.
- Catalase: An oxidative enzyme that detoxifies reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Lesson: How to Summarize Information Effectively

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to summarize information effectively. Summarizing information is an essential skill that helps us understand and retain important ideas from texts, lectures, or conversations. This skill is particularly useful when dealing with large amounts of information or when we need to communicate key points to others.

Section 1: Understanding the Importance of Summarizing Information

Topic 1: Why summarize information?
- Summarizing information helps us understand the main ideas and key points of a text, lecture, or conversation.
- It allows us to retain important information and recall it later.
- Summarizing helps us focus on the most relevant information and ignore irrelevant details.
- It enables us to communicate effectively with others by conveying the most important points.

Topic 2: Types of summaries
- There are different types of summaries, including:
  - A summary of facts: lists the main events or ideas without including any opinions or interpretations.
  - A summary of understanding: describes the meaning behind the facts, providing insight into why something happened.
  - A summary of response: explains how the reader feels about the information presented.

Section 2: How to Summarize Information Effectively

Topic 1: Read actively
- To summarize information effectively, we must read actively by:
  - Identifying the main ideas and key points.
  - Ignoring irrelevant details.
  - Taking notes or highlighting important passages.
  - Paraphrasing or summarizing information in our own words.

Topic 2: Use clear and concise language
- When summarizing information, we should use clear and concise language that accurately conveys the main ideas and key points.
- Avoid using jargon, technical terms, or excessive detail that may confuse or distract from the central message.

Topic 3: Organize your thoughts
- Before summarizing information, organize your thoughts by creating an outline or mind map.
- This will help you identify the main ideas and key points, making it easier to summarize them effectively.

Section 3: Practice Exercise

Exercise: Read the following paragraph and summarize it in one sentence.

"The president and vice president will meet with police chiefs and sheriffs from major cities about gun violence on Monday, demonstrating the administration's plan to press multiple policy goals simultaneously."

Summary: The president and vice president will meet with police chiefs and sheriffs from major cities to discuss gun violence, demonstrating their intention to pursue multiple policy goals at once.

GDC 2013: Sony puts its money where its mouth is on the indie developer-centric future of the PS4

The Sony we’re seeing at GDC 2013 seems to be a very different company than the one that told gamers back in 2006 that they should get a second job if they wanted to have enough to buy a PlayStation 3. Rather than making bold statements about the sheer horsepower and technical magic inside the upcoming PS4, Sony is doing its best Valve imitation by painting the PlayStation Network as the premiere home for independent video game developers looking to put their games in front of console owners – and not just on the PS4, either, but on the PS3 and PS Vita as well.

At the GDC Indie Arcade on Monday night, Sony introduced one new PS4 indie title: Zombie Studios’ Blacklight Retribution. It also announced a number of other titles coming to its current machines, like One True Game Studios’ two-button fighting game, Divekick. The big news wasn’t the stream of games coming from small groups rather than big publishers, but how Sony has already changed its digital publishing policies on the PlayStation Network. It turns out that during the PS4 debut in February, Sony’s boastful claims of streamlining the process of getting a game on a PlayStation machine was more than hot air.

“We’ve just changed our whole concept submission process,” Adam Boyes, Sony’s head of publisher and developer relations, told Gamasutra. “It used to be two stages and all this feedback, and now it’s just one, and it’s optional feedback so there’s no greenlighting process, no voting, no weird stuff.”

That’s not just for independent developers, though. Sony isn’t forcing major publishers like Capcom and Electronic Arts to go through a drawn out submission process to get their digital games online. This is why unusual titles, like the six unlocalized PSOne imports including Sentimental Graffiti published by GungHo Online Entertainment earlier in March, have been showing up on the PSN with greater frequency.

Easing the submission process is only part of the way that Sony is helping indies, though. “[If] these guys are developing content for Vita, and we like the team, we send them Vita kits as loaners for free,” Boyes said. “Or waiving path fees for independent developers, if they need that support, then we’re totally behind it.” According to Boyes, it’s digital-only developers that receive this aid. Game makers publishing their games as retail discs or cartridges tend not to receive this benefit.

These are precisely the sort of factors that have kept independent developers wary of consoles. Fez developer Phil Fish, for example, never released a second patch for his game on XBLA due to the exorbitant costs of issuing the patch and having the game certified again.

Between these policy changes and the opportunity for developers to self-publish on PlayStation consoles, Sony is putting its money where its mouth is in terms of wooing the next generation of game developers. Will that make the PS4 and the PS Vita a success in 2014 and beyond? That depends on how good those indie games turn out to be.

Working groups

As issues arise which require a coordinated approach from the sector to resolve, the RCA Forum establishes a working group. These working groups seek to complete their task as expeditiously as possible, but continue as long as the issues require attention. Membership normally comprises representatives of local authority members and New Zealand Transport Agency members as appropriate. Some issues, such as the spillage of stock effluent onto roads from trucks or the demands on footpaths, involve organisations outside of the Forum membership, as such wider-sector cooperation is essential to achieving successful outcomes.

Similarly, new issues and sector challenges are constantly arising. Providing for cycling and active transport modes has become an important issue for members and a working group has been established to ensure that a coordinated approach identifies best practice. The increasing demands being placed on footpaths by an expanding range of modes prompted a new working group to be established to address this issue in 2016. The challenges facing many rural members are being recognised, too, with a new group being established to investigate funding the accelerated pavement consumption of low volume roads from unplanned heavy vehicle traffic.

Membership of working groups turns over regularly and new volunteers are always welcome to ensure that the membership is fully represented. Where members have a particular interest in any issue, they should make this known, so that they can be given an opportunity to become involved in a working group or reference group on that issue if the need arises. Contact us.

Current working groups and members

The Research and Guidelines Steering Group comprises: Jim Paterson (Western Bay of Plenty), Warren Furner (Ruapehu), Fiona Vessey (Matamata-Piako) and representatives of the working groups – Jamie Cox (Wairoa), convener of the special interest group on low volume roads), Gerry Dance (NZTA) and Wayne Newman (co-conveners of the active modes infrastructure group), Brett North (Wellington), the RCA Forum representative on the board of NZUAG, and Bruce Conaghan (Christchurch), convener of the road-rail issues working group.

Section 1: What are Working Groups?
A working group is a group of people who come together to work on a specific issue or challenge. In the context of the Road Controlling Authorities Forum (RCA Forum), working groups are formed to address sector challenges that require a coordinated approach from local authority members and the New Zealand Transport Agency.

Purpose:
The purpose of working groups is to bring together experts from different organizations to work collaboratively towards a common goal. This allows for the sharing of knowledge, resources, and expertise, leading to more effective problem-solving and better outcomes for all parties involved.

Composition:
Membership of a working group typically includes representatives from local authority members and the New Zealand Transport Agency. However, some issues may require wider-sector cooperation, involving organizations outside of the Forum membership.

Operation:
Working groups operate with the aim of completing their task as quickly as possible while continuing as long as the issue requires attention. They work together to identify the best approach to solving the issue and share information and resources to achieve successful outcomes.

Benefits:
Collaborative problem-solving through working groups offers several benefits, including:

- Improved communication and coordination between organizations
- Access to a wider range of expertise and resources
- Increased efficiency and effectiveness in addressing sector challenges
- Better outcomes for all parties involved

Section 2: Examples of Working Groups
One example of a working group within the RCA Forum is the Cycling and Active Transport Working Group. This group was established to ensure a coordinated approach to identifying best practice for providing for cycling and active transport modes. Another example is the Footpath Working Group, which was formed to address the increasing demands being placed on footpaths by an expanding range of modes.

Section 3: Applying Skills Gained to New Problems
Once you have completed this lesson, you will have a better understanding of the importance of working groups in addressing sector challenges. You will be able to apply the skills gained from this topic to new problems by working collaboratively with others to identify the best approach to solving the issue at hand. Remember to communicate effectively, share resources and expertise, and consider the needs of all stakeholders involved.
