Assessment of Nitrogen Content, Uptake, Partitioning, and Recovery by Cotton Crop Grown under Surface Irrigation and Drip Fertigation by using Isotopic Technique

Abstract Field experiments were carried out through four consecutive years, 1995–1998, to assess the effect of irrigation methods and nitrogen (N) rates on nitrate status of the soil, N uptake, efficiency, partitioning, equivalent nitrogen fertilizer uptake (ENFU) and equivalent total nitrogen uptake (ETNU) by cotton by using the 15N technique. Treatments consisted of two irrigation methods, surface irrigation, and drip fertigation. Drip-fertigated cotton received five different nitrogen rates (0, 60, 120, 180, 240 kg N/ha), while only one rate (180 kg N/ha) was applied to the surface-irrigated cotton. All N fertilizers were applied as urea 46% N. Representative samples of the aboveground portions of cotton plants were harvested from the labeled subplots at physiological maturity and then were separated into leaves, stems, and fruiting forms. Dry matter weight, total N content, N uptake, and 15N excess atom percentage were assessed for each plant fraction, except lint. Soil-water status was monitored by using a neutron probe procedure, and irrigation scheduling was established according to the feedback data obtained. Soil solution nitrate as a function of time and depth was also evaluated by using a nitrate-strips procedure. Results indicated that N content, ETNU, ENFU, N uptake, and partitioning by cotton varied due to N input and irrigation methods. Nitrogen uptake and content in plant's tissues was increased as a function of N input and soil N status. Furthermore, N uptake was very high in a few instances, which might be due to the high residual N in the soil or due to high root activity of the cotton cultivar used in this study (Aleppo 33). Almost 55–63% of the accumulated N was partitioned into the fruiting forms, 27–35% in the leaves, and 9–10% in the stems of the cotton plants grown under drip fertigation. Whereas, under surface irrigation the percentage of accumulated N was partitioned as 57% in the fruiting forms, 34% in the leaves, and 9% in the stems. Fruiting forms and leaves were the major N sinks. Lint yield was highly correlated with N uptake, rates and content in plant tissues. Nitrogen recovery varied with different seasons, N input, and irrigation method. Equivalent total N uptakes, N fertilizer uptake, and the ratio of N uptake, of drip-fertigated relative to surface-irrigated cotton proved to be a good indicator for fertilizer and irrigation management.
GENDER DIFFERENCES IN SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS AND RISK FACTORS AMONG CONDYLOMA ACUMINATA PATIENTS IN DR. MOEWARDI GENERAL HOSPITAL SURAKARTA

Condyloma acuminata (CA), also known as the anogenital wart, is the most frequent sexually transmitted infection worldwide. This highly infectious disease is caused by the human papillomavirus virus, whose high reccurence rates contribute to direct medical costs, productivity loss, and increased psychosocial impact. Thus, the prevention of this viral disease is more important than focusing on its treatment. This cross-sectional study assessed the gender differences in sociodemographic characteristics and sexual risk factors of CA patients. There were 94 newly diagnosed CA patients, 47 males (50%) and 47 females (50%) during the period of January 2013-December 2017. The demographic data were taken from the patient's medical record, and the additional data about the risk factors were from the questionnaires. Chi-square test was performed to compare between genders, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. There was a significant difference between genders on all sociodemographic characteristics (age, occupation, education, marital status) and risk factors (HIV/AIDS infection, condom use, age at the first sexual intercourse, and the number of lifetime sexual partners, type of intercourse) among CA patients. Our study revealed that male CA patients were mostly single, employed, and multi-partner, while CA female patients were mainly married, housewives, and single partners.
Morphology and possible origins of the Perm anomaly in the lowermost mantle of Earth

We have constrained a small‐scale, dome‐shaped low‐velocity structure near the core‐mantle boundary (CMB) of Earth beneath Perm (the Perm anomaly) using travel‐time analysis and three‐dimensional (3‐D) forward waveform modeling of seismic data sampling of the mantle. The best‐fitting dome‐shaped model centers at 60.0°E, 50.5°N, and has a height of 400 km and a radius that increases from 200 km at the top to 450 km at the CMB. Its velocity reduction varies from 0% at the top to –3.0% at 240km above the CMB to –3.5% at the CMB. A surrounding 240‐km‐thick high‐velocity D'' structure has also been detected. The Perm anomaly may represent a stable small‐scale chemical pile in the lowermost mantle, although the hypothesis of a developing mantle plume cannot be ruled out.
Faculty members’ planned technology integration behaviour in the context of a faculty technology mentoring programme

This qualitative case study aimed to examine faculty members’ perceived behaviour regarding the use of technology in their classrooms. The behavior was examined within the framework of the decomposed theory of planned behavior. The theory states that technology integration behaviour is directly related to intention and perceived behaviour control and indirectly related to attitude, subjective norms and perceived behaviour control. Data sources included semi-structured interviews conducted with 17 faculty members who participated in a faculty technology mentoring programme implemented at a large public university in Turkey over a semester of 4 months’ duration. The data analysis revealed that the factors affecting faculty members’ planned technology integration behaviour were related to their intentions, attitude, subjective norms and perceived behaviour control, as explained in the theory. Faculty members identified a number of student-related, faculty-related and contextrelated challenges in technology integration. The recommendations arising from the study are to support and sustain faculty members’ technology integration in higher education classrooms.
Vocalization Analyses of Nocturnal Arboreal Mammals of the Taita Hills, Kenya

Three poorly known nocturnal mammal species from the montane forests of the Taita Hills in Kenya, were studied via vocalization analysis. Here, their acoustic behaviour is described. The studied animals were the tree hyrax (Dendrohyrax sp.), the small-eared greater galago (Otolemur garnettii), and the dwarf galago (Paragalago sp.). High-quality loud calls were analysed using RAVEN PRO, and compared to calls of presumed closest relatives. Our findings include the first detailed descriptions of tree hyrax songs. Moreover, our results suggest that the tree hyrax of Taita Hills may be a taxon new to science, as it produces a characteristic call, the ‘strangled thwack’, not previously known from other Dendrohyrax populations. Our data confirms that the small-eared greater galago subspecies living in the Taita Hills is Otolemur garnettii lasiotis. The loud calls of the elusive Taita Hills dwarf galago closely resemble those of the Kenya coast dwarf galago (Paragalago cocos). Thus, the population in the Taita Hills probably belongs to this species. The Taita Hills dwarf galagos are geographically isolated from other dwarf galago populations, and live in montane cloud forest, which is an unusual habitat for P. cocos. Intriguingly, two dwarf galago subpopulations living in separate forest patches in the Taita Hills, Ngangao and Mbololo, have clearly different contact calls. The Paragalagos in Mbololo Forest may represent a population of P. cocos with a derived call repertoire, or, alternatively, they may actually be mountain dwarf galagos (P. orinus). Hence, differences in habitat, behaviour, and contact call structure suggest that there may be two different Paragalago species in the montane forests of the Taita Hills.
Combining seascape connectivity with cumulative impact assessment in support of ecosystem‐based marine spatial planning

1. Cumulative impact assessment (CIA) is a promising approach to guide marine spatial planning (MSP) and management. One limitation of CIA is the neglect of seascape connectivity, which may spread the impact of localized pressures to am bient areas, e.g. through lost dispersal and recruitment of organisms. 2. We here, for the first time, incorporate seascape connectivity into a traditional CIA model using a connectivity matrix, exemplified by dispersal of propagules estimated through biophysical modelling. Two connectivity impacts are identified: the source impact represents downstream areas losing recruits because of reduced larval dispersal from sites affected by the pressure, and the sink impact represents loss of recruits originating from upstream areas prevented from settlement in the site affected by the local pressure. 3. By including seascape connectivity in the Swedish MSP-guiding CIA tool Symphony we demonstrate how to practically account for remote effects of local environmental impact. Our example on blue mussel shows

Energy loss and straggling of MeV ions through biological samples

Energy loss and energy straggling of energetic ions through natural dehydrated biological samples were investigated using transmission technique. Biological samples (onion membrane, egg coat, and tomato coat) with different mass thickness were studied, together with Mylar for comparison. The energy loss and energy straggling of MeV H and He ions after penetrating the biological and Mylar samples were measured. The experimental results show that the average energy losses of MeV ions through the biological samples are consistent with SRIM predictions; however, large deviation in energy straggling is observed between the measured results and the SRIM predictions. Taking into account inhomogeneity in mass density and structure of the biological sample, an energy straggling formula is suggested, and the experimental energy straggling values are well predicted by the proposed formula.
Physicochemical and functional properties of spineless, short-spines, and long-spines sago starch

Abstract. Santoso B, Sarungallo ZL, Puspita AM. 2021. Physicochemical and functional properties of spineless, short-spines, and long-spines sago starch. Biodiversitas 22: 137-143. Starch application in the food and non-food industries is influenced by their properties. The aim of this research was to characterize the physicochemical and functional of spineless, short-spines, and long-spine sago starch. Starch morphology for all types had an oval shape with a smooth surface, which was proved by the X-ray diffraction analysis. The proximate composition did not differ for all types of sago, except the protein of spineless sago type was slightly higher but it did not affect the profile and gelatinization process. The amylose content of spineless, short spines and long spine of sago starch was 33.61 %db, 38.47 % db, and 37.59 % db, respectively; categorized as a high in amylose then tends to be stickyless. The value of peak viscosity and setback of spineless sago (7571.0 cP and 1495.0 cP) and long spines sago (7608.0 cP and 923.0 cP) were higher than the short spines sago starch (1271.0 cP and 538.0 cP). Therefore, the spineless and the long spines sago starch are suitable as thickener and fillers, while the short spines sago starch is suggested for cakes and bakery products because it will not harden when the product is cold.
Oral Versus Intramuscular Ondansetron for Reducing Vomiting in Children with Acute Gastroenteritis: A Single-Blind Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: Acute gastroenteritis is one of the most common diseases in children with a high rate of nausea and vomiting. Drugs such as ondansetron are used to treat vomiting. Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the success rate of oral vs intramuscular ondansetron to reduce vomiting in children with acute gastroenteritis. Methods: A single-blind randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 100 children with acute gastroenteritis. Two groups of patients were created; one group received an intramuscular injection of ondansetron and the other received oral ondansetron. The vomiting rate, hospitalization, and side effects were evaluated 30 minutes, 4, and 48 hours after drug administration. Results: Fifty-nine (59%) participants were boys. The mean age of the patients was 3.07 ± 2.20 years. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of age, weight, and rate of vomiting before the treatment was launched. No significant difference between the drug administration route and the outcome of vomiting during the first half, 4, and 48 hours after receiving the drug was found either. Conclusions: The study showed that the success rate of oral ondansetron did not vary significantly compared to intramuscular injection in terms of reducing the vomiting rate in children with acute gastroenteritis.
Nep-hop for peace? Political visions and divisions in the booming Nepalese hip-hop scene

The article explores the burgeoning Nepalese hip-hop scene – commonly known as nep-hop – as a discursive intervention in the post-war politics of Nepal. Its core argument is that nep-hop oftentimes demonstrates an ethos of peacebuilding through popular culture. Indeed, many songs explicitly criticize violence, war, and the political leaders who recently brought the nation to a civil war. Yet, this political critique appears to often fall on deaf ears, due to the fact that nep-hop is commonly decoded as a radically ‘alien’ and ‘vulgar’ genre by audiences in mainstream Nepalese society. Importantly, however, this should not be read as a rejection of the ideological content of nep-hop, but rather as a negative evaluation of the aesthetic form of the genre, which bars many Nepalese citizens from engaging with its political messages in a meaningful manner.
Performances of tomato cultivars in coastal areas based on GGE biplot analysis

Soil salinity problem is undoubtedly a major cause which limits the crop production in the coastal region of Bangladesh. Hence an experiment was conducted to observe the stability of cultivars at two coastal saline areas namely Benarpota and Kalapara of Bangladesh based on yield and yield related traits. Eight tomato varieties were used and the experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replicates. The collected data were analyzed statistically using R-Stat program. The stability of the cultivars was done by R Stat biplot analysis. Yield parameters were significantly affected by salinity at both locations. At Kalapara and Benarpota the variety BARI Tomato-7 gave the highest plant height, 120 cm and 114.67cm, respectively. BARI Tomato-4, BARI Tomato-9 and BARI Tomato-11at Benarpota were earlier for harvest days. The highest number of fruits/plant was recorded from BARI Tomato-11while the lowest number was for BARI Tomato-4 at Benarpota which was statistically similar to BARI Tomato-8 at Kalapara. BARI Tomato-7 gave the highest fruit yield (90.0 t/ha) at Benarpota and (84.67 t/ha) at Kalapara which was significantly different from all other varieties and followed by BARI Tomato-14 (82.67 t/ha) and BARI Tomato-8 (80.33 t/ha). The lowest yield was obtained from BARI Tomato-11 at both the locations. Salt tolerant BARI Tomato-7 was the most suitable variety for Benarpota and Kalapara regions. Based on GGE biplot Genotype (G), Environment (E) and Genotype × Environment (G × E) interactions, BARI tomato-7 and BARI tomato-14 obviously ranked first position at Benarpota and kalapara, respectively.

The effects of a grape seed extract on ligature induced – periodontitis in rats – an experimental study

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of administering a grape seed extract, rich in polyphenols in an experimental model of ligature induced periodontitis in rats. Methods: 30 male Wistar rats were divided into Control group, Ligature group and Grape seed extract (GSE) group. Periodontitis was induced by placing a wire ligature around the first mandibular molar for 4 weeks. The animals in the GSE group were administered grape seed extract by gavage. In days 1, 7 and 28 blood samples were taken and in day 28 the hemimandibles were harvested and sent for histological examination. Reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined in serum and in gingival tissue. Results: Significantly higher values of MDA were found in serum and periodontium in the Ligature group in comparison to the GSE group. GSE administration resulted in an increase of GSH plasma concentration in the GSE group as compared to the Control and Ligature groups. In the GSE group inflammation and bone involvement were less marked than in the Ligature group. Conclusions: The grape seed extract proved protective anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in a ligature-induced experimental model of periodontitis in rats and also improved the histological status of gingival tissue and bone.

Ab initio study of the H2-H2S/MoS2 gas-solid interface : The nature of the catalytically active sites

Abstract Despite the intense research efforts directed toward understanding the microscopic mechanism of hydrodesulfurization reactions on transition-metal–sulfide catalysts, the nature of active sites remains an open question. Industrial catalysts are mostly based on supported highly dispersed MoS 2 . There is a general agreement that the active centers are coordinatively unsaturated sites at the edge surfaces oriented parallel to the hexagonal axis of this layered sulfide, but the precise local structure is still unknown. In the present ab initio study, we show that the nature and the concentration of the active sites as well as the shape of the MoS 2 crystallite can vary with the chemical potentials in the reactive atmosphere above the surface. We also report a precise investigation of the surface structure, chemical composition, and electronic properties of the MoS 2 edge surface under working conditions.
Characterizing adaptations of serve indicators in top-level male volleyball among seasons

The purpose of this study was to analyse selected serve characteristics in top-level male volleyball, with a special focus on detecting adaptations of the serve skill among seasons. The indicators examined were type, position, direction and quality of serve. The sample consisted of 5482 serves from three final phases of different top-level tournaments (Olympic Games 2012, N = 1942, World League 2017, N = 1883, World Championship 2018, N = 1657). The interrelationships between variables were analyzed using chi-squared tests, log-linear modelling and multiple correspondence analysis. The results showed that the interaction of all serve indicators are statistically important, but the combination of the variables’ categories that were more responsible for association alternated across the seasons under study. A 3-way association term was revealed for season 2012 (type/position/direction) and 2018 (type/position/quality), while for season 2017 multiple 2-way interactions were found (type/position, type/direction, position/quality, direction/quality). The direction of the serve to the horizontal axis of the court was correlated to the quality of serve and consequently with the advantage of the serving team, while a more tactical perspective for serve skill is formed over periods in top level male volleyball.
