Effect of wastewater irrigation on anatomical structure of faba bean plant (Vicia faba L.)

Two pot experiments were carried out at the Experimental Farm of the Agricultural Botany Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Al-Azhar University, Assiut governorate, Egypt, during two successive seasons 2019/2020 and 2020/2021. To study the effect of wastewater concentrations compared with the control on anatomical structure of faba bean variety's (Giza 716 and Nubaria 3). The experiments were arranged in random whole sectors in which two levels of wastewater were diluted with Nile water at (50 and 100% ww) in addition to control. Data recorded that anatomical characteristic i.e . (Ø of root, cortex thickness, Ø of V.C, Ø pith, Ø of meta xylem) geared the highest in Giza 716 var. values compared with Nubaria 3. Added to all characteristic as affected the concentration of wastewater irrigation used. The highest values were cleared with Ø of root and thickness of cortex while Ø of V. C was the lowest in both varieties especially with control plant (Giza 716) at the same Time the anatomical characters of Nubaria 3 var. were better by using 50% ww irrigation compared with the control plants. Data recorded that the anatomical characteristics of the stems were affected by all wastewater concentrations, 100% ww concentration recorded that decrease in Ø of stem, epidermal thickness, and cortex for both cultivars. While the 50% ww concentration showed superiority in the thickness of the cortex, especially with the Giza 716 var. , compared to the control. At the same there was a significant decrease in the number of V.B, the length of the xylem arch and the Ø of the pith in both cultivars compared to the control. Data recorded that the anatomical characteristics of the leaves were affected by all the concentrations of wastewater used, where the concentration of 100% ww showing decrease in the thickness of the upper and lower epidermis and the mesophyll tissue (palisade and spongy tissue), as well as the diameter of the midrib and length of xylem arch in both types compared to the control. Generally, the Data obtained in this study indicated that uses of wastewater irrigating improved the anatomical characters faba bean plant, especially with Nobaria 3 var. , can be considered as resistance wastewater irrigation under the Assiut conditions, Egypt.
A new combination of naringin and trimetazidine protect kidney Mitochondria dysfunction induced by renal Ischemia / Reperfusion injury in rat

Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury leads to overproduction of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), and disrupts membrane potential that contributes to cell death. The aim of this study was to determine if naringin (NAR), trimetazidine (TMZ) or their combination, protect the kidney mitochondrial from IR injury. Forty rats were randomly allocated into five groups, harboring eight rats each: Sham, IR, NAR (100 mg/kg), TMZ (5 mg/kg) and NAR plus TMZ. Ischemia was induced by obstructing both renal pedicles for 45 min, followed by reperfusion for 4 hours. The mitochondria were isolated to examine the ROS, Malondialdehyde (MDA), Glutathione (GSH), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and mitochondrial viability (MTT). Our findings indicated that IR injury resulted in excessive ROS production, increased MDA levels and decreased GSH, MMP and MMT levels. However, NAR, TMZ or their combination reversed these changes. Interestingly, a higher protection was noted with the combination of both, compared to each drug alone. We speculate that this combination demonstrates a promising process for controlling renal failure, especially with the poor clinical outcome, acquired with NAR alone. This study revealed that pretreatment their combination serves as a promising compound against oxidative stress, leading to suppression of mitochondrial stress pathway and elevation of GSH level.
Identification of Nordic Berries with Beneficial Effects on Cognitive Outcomes and Gut Microbiota in High-Fat-Fed Middle-Aged C57BL/6J Mice

High-fat diets are associated with neuronal and memory dysfunction. Berries may be useful in improving age-related memory deficits in humans, as well as in mice receiving high-fat diets. Emerging research has also demonstrated that brain health and cognitive function may be related to the dynamic changes in the gut microbiota. In this study, the impact of Nordic berries on the brain and the gut microbiota was investigated in middle-aged C57BL/6J mice. The mice were fed high-fat diets (60%E fat) supplemented with freeze-dried powder (6% dwb) of bilberry, lingonberry, cloudberry, blueberry, blackcurrant, and sea buckthorn for 4 months. The results suggest that supplementation with bilberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, lingonberry, and (to some extent) cloudberry has beneficial effects on spatial cognition, as seen by the enhanced performance following the T-maze alternation test, as well as a greater proportion of DCX-expressing cells with prolongation in hippocampus. Furthermore, the proportion of the mucosa-associated symbiotic bacteria Akkermansia muciniphila increased by 4–14 times in the cecal microbiota of mice fed diets supplemented with lingonberry, bilberry, sea buckthorn, and blueberry. These findings demonstrate the potential of Nordic berries to preserve memory and cognitive function, and to induce alterations of the gut microbiota composition.
How Does the COVID-19 Pandemic Influence Histopathological Outcomes for Urologic Cancers?

Objective: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted all routine health care services and resulted in a significant reconfiguration of urologic cancer services and care pathways across the globe. This study aimed to retrospectively determine the pandemic’s impact on the urologic oncological surgery outcomes at a high-volume referral center. Materials and methods: We compared the number and histopathological outcomes of urologic oncological procedures in a referral center coded during the pandemic and data of the period before the pandemic as control. Data were extracted from patient files and hospital records. The pathological examination included a complete histopathological staging according to TNM stage. Results: A total of 683 patients were included in the study, 424 (62%) of which were operated in the pre-pandemic period. There was a 39% decline in urologic oncological surgical activity in the pandemic, mostly in renal and prostate cancer. The mean tumor size was larger in renal cancer patients who underwent surgery during the pandemic (5.6 cm vs 4.5 cm, p=0.002). During the pandemic, more lymph node involvement was seen after radical cystectomy and prostatectomy (50% vs 27.8%, p=0.024 and 12.5% vs 4.5%, p=0.026, respectively). No differences in terms of main pathologic features were observed in patients undergoing radical orchiectomy. Conclusion: COVID-19 appeared to adversely effect oncologic outcomes in patiens undergone surgery for prostate and bladder cancer. Tumor development induced by a delay in diagnosis may cause severe consequences for patients. Reprioritizion of non-deferrable urologic oncological seems crucial.
Small angle slot divertor concept for long pulse advanced tokamaks

SOLPS-EIRENE edge code analysis shows that a gas-tight slot divertor geometry with a small-angle (glancing-incidence) target, named the small angle slot (SAS) divertor, can achieve cold, dissipative/detached divertor conditions at relatively low values of plasma density at the outside midplane separatrix. SAS exhibits the following key features: (1) strong enhancement of the buildup of neutral density in a localized region near the plasma strike point on the divertor target; (2) spreading of the cooling front across the divertor target with the slot gradually flaring out from the strike point, thus effectively reducing both heat flux and erosion on the entire divertor target surface. Such a divertor may potentially provide a power and particle handling solution for long pulse advanced tokamaks.
Length-Weight and Length-Length Relationships of the Scorpaena Species (Actinopteri: Scorpaenidae) in Izmir Bay (Aegean Sea of Turkey)

C T In this study, 173 specimens of Scorpaena porcus (n=50), Scorpaena elongata (n=20), Scorpaena scrofa (n=101 ), Scorpaena notata (n=2) were obtained from commercial fishermen in the Aegean Sea between 2017 and 2019. The length-weight relationships were determined for S. porcus, S. scrofa and S. elongata as W=0.0119TL 3.182 , W=0.0176TL 3.004 and W=0.0656TL 2.579 , respectively. Negative allometry was found for S. scrofa and S. elongate , whereas positive allometry was present for S. porcus. However, with less than 5 individuals S. notata showed maximum, minimum, and mean total length and weight values. S. notata (2 individuals) had a mean total length and weight of 15.7-16.6 cm and 72.31-93.26 g. The results also demonstrated that the length-length relationships were strongly correlated for all Scorpaena species
Advances in mobile financial services: a review of the literature and future research directions

PurposeUsing the theory, construct, method, moderator (TCMM) format, this framework-based review critically analyses the mobile financial services (MFSs) field through a detailed synthesis and analysis of a sample of mainstream empirical research published in various scientific journals within the period 2009–2020.Design/methodology/approachThe authors followed a three-step structured approach suggested by Webster and Watson (2002) to search for the literature to synthesise the global perspectives on MFSs and their associated applications and systems. The literature research resulted in the identification of 115 most relevant articles.FindingsThe authors identified three major categories or domains within the MFSs comprising the entire spectrum of digital financial services. To facilitate the literature analysis, TCMM is developed and proposed as an organising framework. Moreover, the authors also developed and presented the comprehensive framework of MFS domains and explicitly identified 14 different research themes for future research in MFSs.Originality/valuePrior attempts to synthesise and analyse mainstream academic research in MFSs have been scant and limited to a specific MFS domain: mobile banking or mobile payment. The authors synthesised a more extensive body of knowledge and provided a global perspective on the MFS field. Unlike the past literature reviews which followed traditional frameworks such as antecedents, decisions and outcome (ADO); TCCM; and 6 W Framework (who, when, where, how, what and why), the authors developed and proposed TCMM as organising framework.
Helium II phase: superfluid, supersolid, liquid crystal or spin ice?

Experimentally observed physical properties of condensed He II phase of the simplest atomic matter He are reviewed and analysed in view of the governing Shubnikov's idea about spatial and spin ordering in He below λ transition. The matter has been considered within the framework of the unitary quantum mechanical concept for interatomic interaction between helium atoms based on principal role of the spin subsystem which is a real nature of the commonly accepted helium quanticity widely discussed over the last century.
Residential building flood damage: Insights on processes and implications for risk assessments

Flood damage assessments provide critical insights on processes controlling building damage and loss. Here, we present a novel damage assessment approach to develop an empirical residential building damage database from five flood events in New Zealand. Object‐level damage data was collected for flood hazard and building characteristics, along with relative building component and sub‐components damage ratios. A Random Forest Model and Spearman's Rank correlation test were applied to analyse damage data variable importance and monotonic relationships. Model and test results reveal flood inundation depth above first finished floor level is highly important and strongly correlated with total building damage ratios while flow velocity is important for structure component damage. Internal finishes components contribute highly to total building damage ratios as higher value sub‐component materials are susceptible to direct damage from water contact and indirect damage during repair. The empirical damage data has several implications for damage model development due to the limited heterogeneity of flood hazard intensities and building attributes observed. Extending empirical damage data with synthetic damage data in future would support development of more representative object‐specific damage models to evaluate direct tangible damages for local contexts.
Psoriasis and Exercise: A Review

Abstract Psoriasis is a prevalent inflammatory skin disorder that is associated with a number of comorbidities including cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. Exercise can influence the outcomes of chronic inflammatory diseases, and the presence of these diseases can also influence physical activity in afflicted patients. We reviewed the available literature published on exercise in psoriasis patients and aimed to explore physical activity levels, barriers to exercise, physical fitness, exercise as a prevention strategy as well as a treatment modality. Overall, patients with moderate to severe psoriasis are more sedentary than the general population and experience barriers to exercise secondary to their skin disease. Moderate to vigorous exercise may be an independent preventative factor in reducing the incident risk of developing psoriasis and the utilization of exercise as a weight loss strategy may improve disease severity especially in overweight patients. Expert panels agree that exercise can be beneficial as an adjunct treatment in patients with psoriasis who are overweight; however, more randomized clinical trials are needed to establish these links.
The mediating role of perceived value and social media word-of-mouth in the relationship between perceived quality and purchase intention

This study aims to investigate the effect of perceived quality on purchase intention mediated by the perceived value and social media WOM. The process involved testing the cause-and-effect relationships between the variables used in the structural equation model (SEM) empirically using primary data from an online survey of 410 Garuda Indonesia Airline passengers. The five-scale ordinal data retrieved from the 27 question items presented to the respondents were later processed using LISREL statistical software. The analysis produced several findings, first, the perceived value dimensions were directly affected by the perceived quality and also have a direct influence on social media WOM, second, social media WOM directly affected purchase intention, third, perceived value dimensions played a mediating role between perceived quality and purchase intention, and fourth, social media WOM had a mediating influencing on the effect of perceived quality on purchase intention. This simply means that perceived quality indirectly and significantly affected purchase intention through the mediation of perceived value dimensions and social media WOM.
Changing Birth Practices in India: Oils, Oxytocin and Obstetrics

Institutional births increased in India from 39% to 79% between 2005 and 2015. Drawing from 17 months of fieldwork, this article traces the shift from home to hospital births across three generations in a hamlet in Assam in Northeast India. Here, too, one finds that most births have shifted from home to hospital in less than a decade, aided by multiple factors. These include ‘free’ birthing facilities and financial incentives offered by government schemes, idiosyncratic changes within the hamlet, such as the introduction of biomedical practices through home births where oxytocin was used, and changes in cultural belief systems among local people. The exploration reveals significant transitions between (and fluidities of) categories such as local/global, tradition/modernity, past/present and nature/technology, creating a complex and ambivalent narrative of change, in which the voices of mothers should not be ignored.
Heat accumulations and sex pheromone traps as a tools for predicting the cotton leaf worm Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) field generations at Assiut Governorate

This study was conducted at the open field in, Abnob, Assiut Governorate - Upper Egypt under field conditions during the two cotton seasons of 2017and 2018.The results indicated that the population of the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) moths in cotton plant by observing and recording moths in sex pheromone traps every three days. Spodopteralittoralis had seven peaks starting from the 1 st week of May until the 3 rd week of October during the two studied seasons. The highest number of average moths was recorded insex pheromone traps during the end of July which being 66.0 and 63.0moth /trap/ 3 night in both seasons, respectively. It was noted the predicted peaks of generations could be detected when the accumulated thermal units recorded 525.42 DD's.As recorded the peaks for the detected seven generations varied from -3 to +3 days from the observed peaks. For better prediction of the S. littoralis the period between the observed and expected peaks should be positive at least one or two days when early preparation of control materials are of great important, consequently, it is necessary to design an program for controlling this pest renewed annually depends on climate changes an addition to the use of insecticide program for better prediction and controlling of the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis.
Responses of He-Ne Laser Irradiation on Agronomical Characters and Cytological of (Atropa Belladonna L.)

The goal of the present work was to investigate the influence of laser irradiation on in vitro and in vivo growth agro-morphological criteria, mitotic activities and the chromosomes on Atropa belladonna L. The influence of laser radiation on Atropa seeds was investigated using helium – neon (He – Ne) were exposed to levels of laser doses (0.0,10,15, 20, 25 and 30 J cm) -2 using 7 m W He – Ne laser (632.8 nm),with a power density of 4.02 m W cm) 2 . The most of morphological, floral parameters germination percentage, plant height (cm), no. of leaves per plant, no. of branches per plant, leaf Length, width of leaf, leaf area and root length were studied in, First, Second and third months. The results showed significant differences among the five doses of laser radiation on seed germination, seedling height, plant height, no. of Leaves per plant at 10,20 and 30 days. The best doses 25 Jcm -2 to have a stimulating effect on these traits. The cytogenetic effects of physical mutagens Laser beam (0.0,10,15, 20, 25 and 30 J cm) -2 were investigated on the root tip cells of Atropa belladonna L. , Various types of chromosomal aberrations (multinucleate cells) were observed during the cytological analysis of the root tip cells of both treatments. On the other hand, the high doses caused significant reduction as comparing with the control for all studied traits.
The Health-Promoting and Sensory Properties of Tropical Fruit Sorbets with Inulin

Inulin is a popular prebiotic that is often used in the production of ice cream, mainly to improve its consistency. It also reduces the hardness of ice cream, as well as improving the ice cream’s organoleptic characteristics. Inulin can also improve the texture of sorbets, which are gaining popularity as an alternative to milk-based ice cream. Sorbets can be an excellent source of natural vitamins and antioxidants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of inulin on the sensory characteristics and health-promoting value of avocado, kiwi, honey melon, yellow melon and mango sorbets. Three types of sorbets were made—two with inulin (2% and 5% wt.) and the other without—using fresh fruit with the addition of water, sucrose and lemon juice. Both the type of fruit and the addition of inulin influenced the sorbet mixture viscosity, the content of polyphenols, vitamin C, acidity, ability to scavenge free radicals using DPPH reagent, melting resistance, overrun and sensory evaluation of the tested sorbets (all p < 0.05). The addition of inulin had no impact on the color of the tested sorbets, only the type of fruit influenced this feature. In the sensory evaluation, the mango sorbets were rated the best and the avocado sorbets were rated the worst. Sorbets can be a good source of antioxidant compounds. The tested fruits sorbets had different levels of polyphenol content and the ability to scavenge free radicals. Kiwi sorbet had the highest antioxidant potential among the tested fruits. The obtained ability to catch free radicals and the content of polyphenols proved the beneficial effect of sorbets, particularly as a valuable source of antioxidants. The addition of inulin improved the meltability, which may indicate the effect of inulin on the consistency. Further research should focus on making sorbets only from natural ingredients and comparing their health-promoting quality with the ready-made sorbets that are available on the market, which are made from ready-made ice cream mixes.
Co-Rumination in Social Networks

Co-rumination is a form of self-disclosure that occurs within conversations and involves frequent, repetitive, and speculative discussions of personal problems and negative feelings (Rose, 2002). Typically, co-rumination occurs and is examined in the context of close dyadic relationships, as this construct was originally proposed as a relationship process between same-sex friends (Rose, 2002). Since the concept of co-rumination was first introduced, the study of co-rumination has expanded to a diverse array of relationships. Evidence now shows that across many types of relationships, co-rumination is associated with both adaptive and maladaptive socio-emotional outcomes (Calmes & Roberts, 2008; Starr & Davila, 2009). Co-rumination can be assessed in terms of an individual’s tendency to co-ruminate with a same-sex close friend or within a typical relationship of interest (RStudio Team, 2022; Calmes & Roberts, 2008). Evidence suggests that co-rumination increases as children enter adolescence and continues to increase until about middle adolescence (Felton et al., 2019; Rose, 2002; 2007). Across all age groups, females tend to report more co-rumination than males within same-sex friendships (e.g., Balsamo et al., 2015; Rose et al., 2007; Tompkins et al., 2011), however, these sex differences do not appear to carry over to other types of relationships, e.g., parent-child, sibling, roommate, or romantic relationships (Ames-Sikora et al., 2017; Barstead et al., 2013; Calmes & Roberts, 2008). Thus, both males and females appear to co-ruminate in close relationships, however, females are more likely to make it a focus in same-sex friendships.
