Drainage water management effects over five years on water tables, drainage, and yields in southeast Iowa

Subsurface drainage improves row crop production but also short circuits nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) pathways in the soil with significant losses to surface waters. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of shallow, controlled, conventional, and undrained drainage treatments on depth to water table, drainage volume and NO3-N loads, soil water content and storage in the soil profile, and crop yields. This research was conducted at the Iowa State University Southeast Research Farm near Crawfordsville, Iowa, from 2007 to 2015. We report on years five through nine here. The site consisted of eight large field plots with each of the four drainage treatments replicated twice. One-half of each plot was planted with corn (Zea mays L.) and the other half with soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). The corn and soybean halves were rotated every year in accordance with a typical corn–soybean rotation. The undrained treatment had a shallower water table than the other treatments and had a significantly higher number of days during the growing season when the water table was within 30 cm (12 in) of the ground surface than the other treatments. However, there was no difference in soil water contents in the top 80 cm (31.5 in) of the soil profile during the growing season between drainage treatments. Over the five-year study, controlled and shallow drainage reduced annual subsurface flows by 60% and 58%, respectively, while also reducing NO3-N loads by 61% and 49%, respectively, as compared to the conventional drainage design. Crop yields were similar along the drainage designs but significantly lower in the undrained treatment. This study highlights the effectiveness of shallow and controlled drainage to reduce NO3-N loads.
Histopathological Analysis of Hysterectomy Specimens in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Retrospective Study

Introduction The uterus is a crucial reproductive organ that is susceptible to the development of several non-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases in women, greatly increasing morbidity and mortality. Although there are various therapeutic options, hysterectomy is still a popular treatment option throughout the world. Abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), prolapse of the uterus, adenomyosis, endometriosis, fibroids, gynecological malignancies, and obstetric problems that require hysterectomy, all samples must be examined histopathologically. Histopathological examination of the specimens obtained after hysterectomy is important for both diagnosis and treatment. The current work aimed to identify the various clinical indications, analyze the clinicopathological correlation in hysterectomy specimens, and analyze the patterns of lesions in hysterectomy specimens. Materials and methods This study was conducted in the Department of Pathology at the Datta Meghe Medical College, Wanadongari, Nagpur, from February 2022 to January 2023. All types of hysterectomy specimens received during this year were examined, and the tissues were processed and stained with H&E. Histopathological examination was performed, and various lesions in the hysterectomy specimens were examined. The study included all forms of hysterectomy, including abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, and total abdominal hysterectomy. Results An analysis of 110 cases of hysterectomy revealed that abdominal hysterectomy was the type of hysterectomy in 79 (71.82%) cases, with a maximum age range of 35 to 45 years (42.72%). The proliferative phase endometrium was the most common endometrial pathology, accounting for 43 (39.09%) cases, followed by the atrophic endometrium in 35 (31.82%) cases. Leiomyoma was the most prevalent myometrial lesion, accounting for 52 (47.28%) cases, followed by adenomyosis, accounting for 23 (20.91%) cases. Chronic cervicitis was the most common incidental finding in the hysterectomy samples, accounting for 85 (77.28%) cases. Follicular cysts, representing 22 (20%) cases, were the most common ovarian lesions, followed by serous cystadenoma in seven (6.37%) cases. Two cases of malignant tumors were noted: one case of endometrial carcinoma and one case of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary. In most cases, ranging from 70% to 100%, the final histopathological diagnosis supports the preoperative clinical diagnosis. Conclusion Hysterectomy is the most common major gynecological surgery performed under elective conditions. Although histological studies and clinical diagnoses are closely correlated, several lesions, including chronic cervicitis and adenomyosis, were discovered incidentally. Therefore, every hysterectomy specimen must undergo a thorough histological investigation, even if it appears superficially normal, to confirm the diagnosis and improve postoperative care.
Chemical Composition of the Essential Oils from Flower, Leaf, and Stem of Senecio Trapezuntinus Boiss. Grown in Turkey

The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of air-dried flower, leaf and stem of Senecio trapezuntinus Boiss were analysed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Thirty-eight compounds were identified, constituting over 91.7%, 86.2% and 73.5% of the total oil composition of flower, leaf and stem of S. trapezuntinus, respectively. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were shown to be the main group of constituents of all three part of the plant. The main component of the flower, leaf and stem essential oils was (E)-β-farnesene (26.3%, 16.9%, and 31.2%, respectively).
Outcomes of Lateral Meniscal Oblique Radial Tear Repair Compared With Intact Meniscus After ACL Reconstruction: A Cohort Study

Background: Recently, the posterior horn lateral meniscal oblique radial tear (LMORT) was identified in 12% of acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. However, patient-reported outcomes for repair of this relatively common tear have not been reported. Purpose: To determine the minimum 2-year functional outcomes after LMORT repair at the time of ACL reconstruction (ACLR) compared to a matched cohort of patients who underwent isolated ACLR (iACLR). Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Included were 100 patients (mean age at surgery, 21 years; range, 13-45 years) who underwent primary ACLR between 2010 and 2018. The mean follow-up period was 4.1 ± 2.0 years (range, 2.0-9.2 years). A total of 50 patients with surgically repaired LMORT type 3 or type 4 lesions, defined as partial or complete tears >10 mm from the root (LMORT group) were matched 1:1 based on age, date of surgery, and graft choice with 50 patients who underwent iACLR (iACLR group). The postoperative outcomes were compared between groups using the International Knee Documentation Committee subjective score (sIKDC) and the Tegner activity scale. An updated medical history was obtained via the electronic medical record to determine any subsequent complications and reoperations. Results: There was 1 ACL graft failure in each group as well as 5 (10%) reoperations per group. None of the patients in the LMORT group necessitated a lateral meniscal revision repair or partial meniscectomy. The LMORT and iACLR groups reported comparable sIKDC scores (92.5 ± 6.8 vs 91.9 ± 8.2, respectively; P = .712) as well as Tegner scores (6.7 ± 1.8 vs 6.6 ± 1.8, respectively; P = .910) at final follow-up. No failures of the LMORT repairs were reported. Conclusion: The study findings demonstrated that reoperations, graft failure rates, patient-reported outcomes, and patient activity levels at ≥2 years after type 3 and 4 LMORT repairs at the time of ACLR compared favorably with those of a matched cohort of patients who underwent iACLR with intact meniscus.

Comparison of the safety profile, conversion rate and hospitalization duration between early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background Although the past decade has witnessed unprecedented medical progress, no consensus has been reached on the optimal approach for patients with acute cholecystitis. Herein, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the differences in patient outcomes between Early Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (ELC) and Delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (DLC) in the treatment of acute cholecystitis. Our protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database (registration number: CRD42023389238). Objectives We sought to investigate the differences in efficacy, safety, and potential benefits between ELC and DLC in acute cholecystitis patients by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods The online databases PubMed, Springer, and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and retrospective studies published between Jan 1, 1999 and Jan 1, 2022. Results 21 RCTs and 13 retrospective studies with a total of 7,601 cases were included in this research. After a fixed-effects model was applied, the pooled analysis showed that DLC was associated with a significantly high conversion rate (OR: 0.6247; 95%CI: 0.5115–0.7630; z = −4.61, p < 0.0001) and incidence of postoperative complications (OR: 0.7548; 95%CI: 0.6197–0.9192; z = −2.80, p = 0.0051). However, after applying a random-effects model, ELC was associated with significantly shorter total hospitalization duration than DLC (MD: −4.0657; 95%CI: −5.0747 to −3.0566; z = −7.90, p < 0.0001). Conclusion ELC represents a safe and feasible approach for acute cholecystitis patients since it shortens hospitalization duration and decreases the incidence of postoperative complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Textural, microstructural, and compositional characteristics of Fe‐based geomaterials and Upper Paleolithic ocher in the Lessini Mountains, Northeast Italy: Implications for provenance studies

Provenance research of archaeological ocher contributes to understanding the capabilities of prehistoric humans to select, process, and treat suitable raw materials for symbolic and utilitarian purposes. The western part of the Lessini Mountains in the Veneto region of northeast Italy is an ideal location for this type of study as it features several different Fe‐rich deposits, and many examples of archaeological ocher have been found in the nearby Fumane Cave and Tagliente Rockshelter Upper Paleolithic sites. Sourcing areas are often identified through the use of geochemical studies; however, microscopic techniques can also be used with the benefit of providing more detailed information about accessory minerals and textural characteristics of the material. One of the goals of our study was to demonstrate the potential in using polarizing light microscopy supported by scanning electron microscopy coupled with an energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometer in research of this type. We studied geological source samples and archaeological materials from the sites, the results of which are very promising in terms of shedding light on the sourcing of prehistoric ocher in this region.
The Salmon Oil OmeGo Reduces Viability of Colorectal Cancer Cells and Potentiates the Anti-Cancer Effect of 5-FU

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancer types worldwide. Chemotherapy is toxic to normal cells, and combinatory treatment with natural well-tolerated products is being explored. Some omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) and marine fish oils have anti-cancer effects on CRC cells. The salmon oil OmeGo (Hofseth BioCare) contains a spectrum of fatty acids, including the n-3 PUFAs docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosahexaenoic acid (EPA). We explored a potential anti-cancer effect of OmeGo on the four CRC cell lines DLD-1, HCT-8, LS411N, and LS513, alone and in combination with the chemotherapeutic agent 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU). Screening indicated a time- and dose-dependent effect of OmeGo on the viability of the DLD-1 and LS513 CRC cell lines. Treatment with 5-FU and OmeGo (IC20–IC30) alone indicated a significant reduction in viability. A combinatory treatment with OmeGo and 5-FU resulted in a further reduction in viability in DLD-1 and LS513 cells. Treatment of CRC cells with DHA + EPA in a concentration corresponding to the content in OmeGo alone or combined with 5-FU significantly reduced viability of all four CRC cell lines tested. The lowest concentration of OmeGo reduced viability to a higher degree both alone and in combination with 5-FU compared to the corresponding concentrations of DHA + EPA in three of the cell lines. Results suggest that a combination of OmeGo and 5-FU could have a potential as an alternative anti-cancer therapy for patients with CRC.
ZnONR Microstructure Modification and their Potential for High Reversibillity Performance of AC-Mn2O3 Supercapacitor

One of Indonesia's most significant issues with technological growth is the lack of electrical energy storage devices. Active materials have low electrical conductivity, accessibility, and ion diffusion. Therefore, it is urgently required to study the combination of higher electrical conductivity ZnO and high surface area of AC-Mn2O3. However, ZnO nanorods (ZnONR) can be modified from ZnO nanoparticles (ZnONP). The structure modification may increase energy density due to having a higher surface area than ZnONP. Three different electrodes with AC-Mn2O3 addition various spin coated of 1000 rpm (MZnONR1), 2500 rpm (MZnONR2), and 3000 rpm (MZnONR3). The electrodes were then packaged in a sandwich flat symmetric supercapacitor. The characterization was carried out using X-RD, SEM-EDX cross-section, FTIR, and Cyclic Voltammetric. It is obtained that the highest specific capacitance showed by symmetric supercapacitor MZnONR1 with low speed of spin coating. We also found that the greater the deposited ZnNR content, the lowest thickness until 43.76 μm, the crystallinity until 62% and the highest porosity until 79%. This shows that the MZnONR1 sample exhibits the best electrochemical performance, which is supported by its morphological properties. It is shown that the higher the Zn content, the stability performance AC-Mn2O3 supercapacitor higher. ZnONR1 sandwich flat symmetric supercapacitor have a specific capacitance 0.0086 Fg-1 with an 0.00433 Whg-1 energy density. Furthermore, it was found that the addition of the AC-Mn2O3 increased 2800x compared to the ZnONR1, which reached 28.04 Fg-1 and an 14.09 Whg-1 of capacitance specific and energy density, respectively.
Computing Functional Urban Areas Using a Hierarchical Travel Time Approach: An Applied Case in Ecuador

Identifying integrated urban areas is an important issue for urban analysis and policy evaluation. In this paper, we extend the OECD’s methodology to identify Functional Urban Areas to countries where there is not commuting data. We do so substituting such socioeconomic flows by available information on road structure, which allow us to work with accessibility based on travel time. The main advantage of our procedure is its applicability to most countries in the world, as it only uses GIS data. In this paper we apply the procedure two border countries: Colombia, which has a recent census with commuting data, to calibrate our approach, and Ecuador, where there is not commuting census. We perform several sensitivity analysis and robustness checks to Ecuador with alternative sources of socioeconomic flows.
Using Technology as a Learning Tool: A Literature Review of Technology and Learning Outcomes

To enhance learning outcomes, and to deal with recent shifts in distance learning, instructors are constantly challenged to create more engaging educational content, increasingly so through online platforms. Gaps in how technology is viewed and utilized can cause frustrations in the classroom. Traditional teaching has focused on visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles (VAK); however, these methods are no longer meeting the dynamic engagement needs of students in higher education. Technology in the classroom has changed the way students and professors interact with the material presented, and educators have more ways than ever to adapt and improve communication of the material through learning management systems (LMS). This paper presents ways that higher-education instructors can create learning environments to foster understanding and curiosity, strategies to help students learn, and ways to bridge technological gaps in construction and architecture education. Through aa thematic literature review, this paper explores teaching and learning styles, strategies to help students, and differences between classroom and online learning. Findings from this review suggest the advances in technology for the classroom are changing the classroom landscape, including how in-class time can be spent, communication, assignment and assessment design, and the availability of resources for students.
Online Impulsive Buying Behavior (OIBB) Influenced by Hedonism, Re-source Availability, and Shopping Convenience Moderated by the Ease of Using Digital Payment Methods

This research focuses on the influence of hedonism, resource availability, and shopping convenience online impulsive buying behavior (OIBB), moderated by ease of use of digital payment methods. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires to 356 respondents online. 340 respondents were selected to be the sample because they fit the specified respondent criteria. The data obtained was analyzed using the PLS-SEM method and processed using SmartPLS software version 4.0. This research shows that hedonism and the convenience of shopping directly positively and significantly influence online impulsive buying behavior. Meanwhile, the availability of resources (money) does not significantly influence online impulsive buying behavior. In the moderation relationship, ease of use of e-wallets strengthens the relationship between hedonism and online impulsive buying behavior. Still, it can decrease the relationship between shopping convenience and online impulsive buying behavior. Meanwhile, the ease of use of e-wallets does not influence the relationship between the availability of funds and online impulsive buying behavior.
Cultivo de alface, sobre diferentes coberturas de solo, em condições tropicais

A alface e a hortalica folhosa mais produzida no Brasil, onde representa grande relevância social e economica para pequenas propriedades. No entanto, ainda ha a necessidade de estudos voltados a melhoria das condicoes de cultivo, a qual demanda intensa quantidade de fertilizantes, degrada a estrutura fisica do solo e provoca desequilibrios biologicos pela baixa rotacao de culturas. Diante disso, objetivou-se atraves deste trabalho identificar os efeitos de coberturas vegetais sobre os atributos quimicos do solo e sobre a qualidade da alface produzida em condicoes de clima tropical. O experimento foi instalado em regiao de baixa altitude, em condicoes de campo, em blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial, com cultivo de alface sobre residuos de cinco coberturas vegetais de solo implantadas em tres epocas diferentes. As coberturas vegetais utilizadas foram milheto, bagaco de cana-de-acucar, mucuna-preta, capim braquiaria e crotalaria, semeadas em 06/02/12, 08/03/12 e 07/04/12, com manejo aos 120, 90 e 60 dias, respectivamente. Concluiu-se que, dependendo da especie e da epoca em que e feita semeadura e o manejo e o manejo, as plantas de coberturas podem interferir nos atributos quimicos do solo, resultando em plantas de alface de maior altura, diâmetro e massa fresca. Plantas de alface com maior diâmetro e massa de materia seca total foram obtidas quando cultivadas sobre residuos de mucuna-preta e capim braquiaria.
Cultural Capital of Minangkabau Nomads in the 2019 Legislative Election in Indonesia

This study examined the cultural capital possessed by Minangkabau nomads as the candidates of the DPR-RI Legislature in the 2019 Legislative Elections. Minangkabau is one of the ethnic groups in Indonesia which maintains a matrilineal kinship system and a tradition of merantau (travelling in pursuit of success). Merantau becomes a significant investment used by Minangkabau nomads to gain vote support for their candidacy as a member of the DPR-RI legislature in electoral political contestation, including the 2019 Legislative Election. The study utilized a qualitative descriptive method to collect data through interviews and documentation studies. The study results revealed that the figure of Minangkabau nomads candidates possessed the cultural capital and were able to manage this cultural capital to succeed in gaining significant victories in their respective constituency. The cultural capital of Minangkabau nomads could be seen from the two figures of Minangkabau nomads legislative candidates, namely Fadli Zon and Jon Erizal, including the institutionalized tradition of merantau, and the role Tungku Tigo Sajarangan (the traditional leaders) in the matrilineal kinship system. Through adequate cultural capital, the Minangkabau nomads were able to secure a big victory in their respective electoral districts.
The Power to Conserve: A Field Experiment on Electricity Use in Qatar

High (cid:1) resource (cid:1) users (cid:1) often (cid:1) have (cid:1) the (cid:1) strongest (cid:1) response (cid:1) to (cid:1) behavioral (cid:1) interventions (cid:1) promoting (cid:1) conservation. (cid:1) Yet, (cid:1) little (cid:1) is (cid:1) known (cid:1) about (cid:1) how (cid:1) to (cid:1) motivate (cid:1) them. (cid:1) We (cid:1) implement (cid:1) a (cid:1) field (cid:1) experiment (cid:1) in (cid:1) Qatar, (cid:1) where (cid:1) residential (cid:1) customers (cid:1) have (cid:1) some (cid:1) of (cid:1) the (cid:1) highest (cid:1) energy (cid:1) use (cid:1) per (cid:1) capita (cid:1) in (cid:1) the (cid:1) world. (cid:1) Our (cid:1) dataset (cid:1) consists (cid:1) of (cid:1) 207,325 (cid:1) monthly (cid:1) electricity (cid:1) meter (cid:1) readings (cid:1) from (cid:1) a (cid:1) panel (cid:1) of (cid:1) 6,096 (cid:1) customers. (cid:1) We (cid:1) employ (cid:1) two (cid:1) normative (cid:1) treatments (cid:1) priming (cid:1) identity (cid:1) - a (cid:1) religious (cid:1) message (cid:1) quoting (cid:1) the (cid:1) Qur’an, (cid:1) and (cid:1) a (cid:1) national (cid:1) message (cid:1) reminding (cid:1) households (cid:1) that (cid:1) Qatar (cid:1) prioritizes (cid:1) energy (cid:1) conservation. (cid:1) The (cid:1) treatments (cid:1) reduce (cid:1) electricity (cid:1) use (cid:1) by (cid:1) 3.8% and (cid:1) both (cid:1) messages (cid:1) are (cid:1) equally (cid:1) effective. (cid:1) However, (cid:1) this (cid:1) masks (cid:1) significant (cid:1) heterogeneity. (cid:1) Using (cid:1) machine (cid:1) learning (cid:1) methods (cid:1) on (cid:1) supplemental (cid:1) survey (cid:1) data, (cid:1) we (cid:1) elucidate (cid:1) how (cid:1) agency, (cid:1) motivation, (cid:1) and (cid:1) responsibility (cid:1) activate (cid:1) conservation (cid:1) responses (cid:1) to (cid:1) our (cid:1) identity (cid:1) primes.
