24-epibrassinolide enhanced the quality parameters and phytochemical contents of table grape.

Enhancing the nutritional quality of fruits using safe and environmental friendly methods has become of the most important targets in modern fruit production systems. Brassinosteroids, a new group of phytohormones with positive roles on human health, have been shown to modulate a wide range of plant activities and enhance fruit quality in some crops. This study was conducted to examine the effect of 24-Epibrassinolide (EBL), a synthetic brassinosteroid, on quality attributes and some active bio-compounds of “Thompson seedless” table grapes. Grape vines and bunches were sprayed with EBL (at 0, 3 and/or 6 µmol L-1) at three different stages (4 weeks after fool bloom, veraison stage and 1 day before harvest). As a novel finding in seedless grapes, exogenous EBL substantially enhanced soluble solids content, total organic acids, antioxidants, phenolics and ascorbic acid levels in treated berries. Also the activity of catalase and polyphenol oxidase enzymes was increased. There was no significant difference between the two brassinosteroid levels in most cases. EBL showed a good potential for enhancing table grape phytonutrients, nutritional quality and phytochemical contents and is introduced as a safe compound to be used in table grape production programs.
Knowledge, attitude and practice of dentists in Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in Turkey

Purpose: The aim was to assess the knowledge, attitudes and anxiety of the dentists in relation to COVID-19. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted amongst 590 dentists employed in Turkey from March to April 2020. The electronic survey consisted of 22 questions related to demographic profile, knowledge, clinical practice and anxiety level of the participants towards dental management of COVID-19. The survey was sent to participants by email and mobile phone messages to be filled electronically. Results: Majority of respondents pointed to aerosol (98.5%), saliva (90.6%) and mucosal contact (71.4%) as the transmission routes of COVID-19. Amongst all clinical symptoms of the disease questioned, fever (99.8%), dry cough (99.1%), fatigue (90.0%) were associated with COVID-19 by vast majority of population. 96.4% of respondents agreed the usage of gloves as personal protective equipment and it was followed by face shield (88.1%), disposable gown (83.4%), protective goggles (73.9%). Increased usage of FFP2/N95 (33.9%) and FFP3/N99 (10.9%) respirators, contrary to reduction of surgical mask usage (50.7%), were observed in aerosolgenerating procedures comparing to dental procedures without producing aerosol and these differences were highly significant (p<0.001, p=0.004, p<0.001). The mean anxiety level of respondents was 3.35 ± 1.18 (ranging from 0 to 5). Conclusion: These results demonstrated an adequate knowledge, especially in clinical symptoms of COVID-19 amongst dentists. However, the respirator usage rate in aerosol-generating procedures was not satisfactory which suggesting to necessity of dentists’ education about pandemic.
Permainan Ludo untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Kolaborasi Siswa dalam Pembelajaran Matematika

Mathematic is one of the difficult and scary subjects. Sometimes, the students feel afraid and it makes them feel forced and uncomfortable. Indirectly this situation would affect the students’ learning outcomes and another reason was the lack of activities in learning mathematics which could train and enhance students’ collaborative skill. Learning would be more meaningful if it involved peers to build students’ knowledge. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to find out the effect of Ludo game in improving students’ collaborative skill. This research was quasi-experimental with the sample of 21 students on third grade in SD 19 Nan Sabaris. The instrument used students’ collaborative assessment sheet. The data analyzed by using effectiveness test with paired sample t-test. The conclusion showed that there were significant different on students’ collaborative skill between the students who were taught by using Ludo and the students who were taught by using conventional learning.
Vehicle Tracking with Alcohol Detection & Seat Belt Control System

The survey conducted as a part of a study for road transport ministry for developing a comprehensive strategy to improve road safety has thrown up these interesting aspects at a time when the government data show that 70% of the accidents are caused due to drink and driving. The traffic police across states also don’t have adequate number of breathalyzers to test drunk drivers. Furthermore, there are some rural areas around the world where the traffic of people is less. In such a situation, rider loss their lives due to delay in providing emergency service. Hence, we proposed a system which is designed in such a way that it will not ignite the vehicle until the rider wears seat belt and pass the alcohol test. The additional feature of this project is it consist of Global Positioning System and Internet of Things cloud platform with the help of which we are sending message to the end users in case of any emergency detected.
Performance Evaluation of Early Maturing Ground Nut Varieties in West Guji lowland, Southern Ethiopia

Groundnut is an important oil seed crop, grown throughout the tropics and sub tropics worldwide. It is one of the three economically important oilseed crops grown in Ethiopia. Groundnut is commonly produced by small scale farmers as food and cash crops in the study area. The area has potential to the production of Ground nut for food and nutrition security as well as export commodity. However, scarcity of varieties that fit to the environment is one of the major constraints of production. Therefore, this experiment was conducted to evaluate five Ground nut varieties and select early maturing varieties with considerable yield and agronomic traits. The field experiment was conducted in 2017 and 2018 at Abaya and varieties were planted in Randomized complete block design (RCBD). Data were collected on yield and important agronomic traits. The computed analysis of variance revealed significant variations among varieties for days to maturity, number of primary branches, number of pegs per plants, Grain yield and shelling percentage. The pooled over year mean of varieties indicated , Tole1 variety ( Check) is high yielding with mean grain yield of 4174.7kg followed by variety Sedi (3552.5kg/ha) and Babile local (3550.4kg/ha). Variety Sedi has special merit in terms of earliness and therefore recommended for moisture stress areas of Abaya and location with similar agro ecologies while Tole -1 (Standard check) is high yielding varieties and should be used in production until new varieties will be developed through selection/breeding program.
Evaluation of the Effect of Ethephon in Postharvest Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum)

Aims: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of applying ethephon on postharvest tomato. Study Design: Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the laboratory of the Department of Applied Food Science and Nutrition, Department of Food Processing and Engineering, Department of Applied Chemistry and Chemical Technology of Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Chittagong, Bangladesh. It was conducted for a period of six months from 1st January, 2018 to 30th June, 2018. Methodology: TSS (Total Soluble Solid) was determined by using hand refractometer, proximate composition by standard AOAC method, vitamin C and β-carotene by UV-spectrophotometric method, sodium and potassium by flame photometric method, titratable acidity, calcium and magnesium by titremetric method. To compare differences in control and treated group, significant difference was considered at the level of P<0.05. Results: Ethephon treated tomatoes ripen quickly with attractive surface color and had shorter shelf life than non-treated tomatoes (control). Physico-chemical properties including total soluble solid and titratable acidity increased significantly (P<0.05) in treated group (4.66±0.57°B; 0.32±0.01% respectively) than control (3.33±0.57°B; 0.28±0.01% respectively). Moisture content also significantly (P<0.05) increased in ethephon treated tomato (94.15±0.27g/100g) than non-treated (85.54±0.23g/100g). But significantly lower amount of carbohydrate, ash, crude fiber were observed in artificially ripened tomato by ethephon (2.5±0.45g/100g; 0.51±0.02g/100g; 0.82±0.03g/100g respectively) than naturally ripened (3.7±0.26g/100g; 0.59±0.01g/100g; 0.90±0.01g/100g respectively). Apparently protein and fat content were found insignificantly less amount in artificially ripened tomato by ethephon. The significant lowest concentration of vitamin C and β-carotene were observed in ethephon ripened tomato (16.65±0.01mg/100g; 413.33±1.15μg/100g respectively). Mineral contents of ethephon treated tomato (Na 3.65±0.47mg/100g; K 199±1.00mg/100g; Ca 4.75±0.07mg/100g; Mg 8.57±0.19mg/100g) found significantly (P<0.05) fewer amounts than control tomato (Na 3.96±0.01mg/100g; K 213.67±0.57 mg/100g; Ca 5.57±0.15mg/100g; Mg 9.96±0.04mg/100g). Conclusion: Application of ethephon on postharvest tomato hastens ripening time and physico-chemical properties but reduces shelf life and nutritive value of tomato.

Performance of Plant Aqueous Extracts for Organic Weed Management in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea)

Different crops were raised and harvested at physiological maturity and weeds were collected at flowering stages during Kharif 2017 for preparing plant aqueous extracts at wet land farm of Sri Venkateswara Agricultural College, Tirupati. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of different plant aqueous extracts and paddy straw mulch for organic weed management in a randomized block design and replicated thrice during Rabi, 2017-18 and The predominant weed species observed were Cyperus rotundus L. (45%), Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. (15%), Borreria hispida (L.) K. Schum. (7%). All chemical weed management practices recorded significantly lesser weed density and dry weight than organic weed management practices. Among the organic weed management practice, application of paddy straw mulch at 5 t ha-1 recorded significantly lesser density and dry weight of weeds with higher weed control efficiency, apart from enhancing the yield components and pod yield of groundnut. Among the plant aqueous extracts, sorghum plant aqueous extract spray 15 L ha-1 at 15 and 30 DAS proved to be the best in controlling weeds and increasing pod yield. The performance of parthenium and purple nutsedge aqueous extracts each applied at 15 L ha-1 at 15 and 30 DAS were very poor in controlling weeds and promoting pod yield of groundnut. The reduction in pod yield of groundnut due to unchecked weed growth was 52.53 and 37.18% compared to pendimethalin 1kg ha-1 + HW at 30 DAS and paddy straw mulch at 5 t ha-1, respectively. Paddy straw mulch at 5 t ha-1 recorded significantly higher count of effective rhizobium nodules plant-1 and soil microorganisms viz., bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF BION AND SALICYLIC ACID APPLIED THROUGH FOLIAR AND SEEDLING ROOT DIPPING IN TOMATO AGAINST ALTERNARIA SOLANI

Alternaria solani is a destructive pathogen to the tomato crop causing heavy losses. The present work was designed during 2015-16 to evaluate the efficacy of Bion and salicylic acid as early blight disease suppressors as well as their use as plant activators under greenhouse conditions. The current study was carried out at field area of Plant Pathology University of Agriculture Faisalabad. Foliar and seedling root dipping application of Bion and salicylic acid (125 ppm and 2 mM) not only reduced the disease severity but also enhanced the plant growth. Maximum disease severity was observed in infected control while minimum disease severity was observed in case of Bion with foliar application in both years. A remarkable increase was observed in Chlorophyll a, b, root fresh/dry weight, photosynthetic rate, shoot fresh/dry weight and growth attributes when A. solani inoculated tomato plants were treated with foliar sprays of Bion. A significant healing to cell membrane was observed to reduce the electrolyte leakage in case of Bion and SA application through foliar spray in inoculated plants. Total soluble carbohydrates and total soluble protein contents are increased when Bion was applied through foliar application as compared to seedling root dipping. Increasing trend was observed in 2 year of study. It is concluded that foliar application of Bion could be more effective in managing the Alternaria solani as well as in enhancing the growth and yield of tomato.

The Role of TMPRSS2 and TMPRSS2- Inhibitors in Cell Entry Mechanism of COVID-19

The enzymes trypsin, furine and other proprotein convertases, cathepsin, transmembrane proteases (TMPRSS) and elastases play a role in the cell entry of coronaviruses (Coronaviridae). The proteases TMPRSS2 and TMPRSS11a, which are abundant in the respiratory tract and expressed on cell surfaces, promote the entry of SARS-CoV-1 viruses. For the TMPRSS protease TMPRSS11d - also known as human airway trypsin-like protease (HAT) - a proteolytic activation of the S- protein of SARS-CoV-1 was demonstrated. TMPRSS2, in turn, complexes with the ACE2 receptor, which allows efficient penetration of the virus directly at the cell surface. TMPRSS2 and TMPRSS11D activate the S protein by cleaving it into the S1 and S2 subunits, thus allowing endosome-independent cell entry at the cell membrane. Virus-based therapies include monoclonal antibodies, antiviral peptides that dock to the S protein of viruses, viral nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors and inhibitors for docking to other viral structures and accessory proteins.
EVALUATION OF PHYTOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF THE LEAVES EXTRACT OF CHENOPODIUM ALBUM LINN

Chenopodium album (L.), commonly known as Bathua or Goose foot is a fast growing vegetable plant that belongs to the family Chenopodiaceae. The plant contains essential oils, besides alkaloids, trigonelline and chenopodine. It is traditionally used as a curative medicine for various diseases. In the present study, aqueous, methanolic and ethanolic extracts of the leaves of Chenopodium album were analysed to detect the presence of various bio-active compounds, namely: proteins and amino acids, saponins, phenols, terpenoids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, alkaloids, glycosides, tannins and steroids using standard qualitative tests. There were variable results for alkaloid and carbohydrate tests with different methods. Tests for glycosides and tannins showed negative result for all the extracts. Mostly, tests for proteins and amino acids, saponin, phenol, terpenoids and flavonoids showed impressive result in all the extracts. Steroids were present in ethanolic and aqueous extracts, while it was absent in methanolic extraction. Thus, the result of the present comprehensive analysis demonstrates the presence of almost all the phytochemicals in the leaves of Chenopodium album which can be used in effective pharmacological actions.
Response of Sudani Ducklings to Dietary Echinacea purpurea Addition on Growth Performance and Economic Efficiency

A 360 - Sudani ducklings (180 ♂+ 180 ♀) - 26 d-old, weighed and allocated for eight groups (four groups from each sex) to assess the impact of dietary Echinacea purpurea (EP) addition (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.50 g/kg diet) in a factorial design (4 × 2) on productive performance and economical efficiency during summer season. Results indicated that, all studied traits of growth performance were (P ≤ 0.01) higher for ducklings males than females through the studied period (26-110 day). However, dietary EP addition resulted in a significant (P≤0.01) improvement in body weight gain and feed efficiency during the whole studied period than control. Dietary EP addition (P≤0.01) enhance lymphocytes (L) cells (%), decrease in heterophils (H) cells (%) and H/L ratio than the control. Serum triglycerides was significantly increased for females than males ducklings, whereas, it significantly attenuated by EP supplementation comparing with control. Antioxidant enzymes activity were significantly enhanced by different EP addition, while MDA was significantly decreased comparing with control group.Abdominal fat (%) was significantly attenuated by EP addition than the control, but total edible parts (%) was (P≤0.01) higher with 5.00 and 7.50 g EP/kg addition. Economic efficiency significantly enhanced by feeding 2.50 g EP/ kg diet than the control and other EP groups. So that, dietary EP addition with 2.5 g/ kg could be maximize and improve the growth, carcass traits and economical efficiency of Sudani ducklings especially males during growth period under Egyptian summer conditions.
Variation in the Origin of Superior Thyroid Artery and it’s Relation with External Laryngeal Nerve: A Cadaveric Study

Introduction: The Thyroid gland is a highly vascular gland placed anteriorly in the neck, extending from the level of fifth cervical vertebra to first thoracic vertebra.The lobes of gland are conical. Their apices diverge laterally to the oblique line on the lamina of thyroid cartilage, and their bases are at the level of 4th or 5th tracheal ring. The relationship of the superior thyroid artery to the external laryngeal nerve is important to the surgeon during thyroid surgery.The artery and nerve are close to each other higher up but diverge near the gland. Thus in order to avoid injury to the external laryngeal nerve, the superior thyroid artery is ligated as near to the gland as possible. Subjects and Methods: This study was conducted on 50 cadavers of known age and sex in the dissection laboratory, department of anatomy. The cadavers were embalmed through carotid arterial perfusion or femoral arterial perfusion. Results: The site of the origin of the superior thyroid artery (STA) was evaluated as it arose from external carotid artery in 66% cases, from carotid bifurcation in 33% cases and from common carotid artery in 1% cases.The site of the origin of the superior thyroid artery (STA) was evaluated as it arose from external carotid artery in 66% cases, from carotid bifurcation in 33% cases and from common carotid artery in 1% cases.The evaluation of distance from upper pole of the thyroid gland to the level where External superior laryngeal nerve turns medially from Superior thyroid artery was found More than 1 cm in 73% cases & Less than 1 cm in 27% cases. Conclusion: The relationship of superior thyroid artery to external superior laryngeal nerve is very important for surgeons during thyroid surgeries to avoid injuries to above nerves while ligating STA.
Double-conditioning regimen with thiotepa and melphalan for high-risk Neuroblastoma

Appropriate high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) for high-risk neuroblastoma has not yet been established. In Japan, a unique HDC regimen (called double-conditioning regimen) comprising two cycles of total 800 mg/m2 of thiotepa and total 280 mg/m2 of melphalan is widely used. To re-evaluate the safety and the efficacy of this regimen for high-risk neuroblastoma, the medical records of 41 patients with high-risk neuroblastoma who underwent the double-conditioning regimen followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell rescue between 2002 and 2012 were reviewed. MYCN-amplified high-risk neuroblastomas were observed in 23 patients. All patients underwent intensive multidrug induction chemotherapy, but none underwent anti-GD2 antibody immunotherapy. The primary tumor was resected at the adequate time point. The median follow-up duration for living patients was 9.2 years (range = 5.5–14.0 years). The 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) rates from treatment initiation were 41.5% ± 7.7% and 56.1% ± 7.8%, respectively. The 5-year EFS of MYCN-amplified high-risk neuroblastoma patients was 60.9% ± 10.2%, which was significantly superior compared to MYCN-non-amplified high-risk neuroblastoma patients (16.7% ± 8.8%; P < 0.001). MYCN amplification was the most favorable prognostic factor for EFS (hazard ratio = 0.29; 95% confidence interval = 0.12–0.66). Of the 41 patients, 3 died because of regimen-related toxicity (infection, n = 2; microangiopathy, n = 1). The double-conditioning regimen with thiotepa and melphalan is effective for high-risk neuroblastoma, especially in patients with MYCN amplification. However, the double-conditioning regimen is toxic and warrants special attention in clinical practice.
