Seedling performance in a dioecious tree species is similar near female and male 1 conspecific adults despite differences in colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

17 Patterns of seedling growth and survival near conspecific plants have important consequences for 18 species diversity in plant communities, but the factors causing intraspecific variation in seedling 19 performance are unclear. Greater seed production or size of adult plants could both drive the 20 local accumulation of specialized antagonist species in the environment and affect conspecific 21 seedling performance. Experiments with dioecious species, in which only female individuals 22 produce seeds, decouple these factors in areas of high conspecific density. To assess whether 23 conspecific seedling performance is reduced in the environments associated with seed-producing 24 female trees relative to male or heterospecific trees, we conducted shadehouse and field 25 experiments with a dioecious tropical tree species, Virola surinamensis (Myristicaceae), on 26 Barro Colorado Island, Panama. The shadehouse experiment isolated the effect of soil microbial 27 communities on seedling performance and allowed us to quantify colonization by mutualistic 28 arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, while the field experiment allowed us to assess seedling 29 performance in a context that included the effects of nearby conspecific trees. Seedling biomass 30 at the end of the 8-mo shadehouse experiment was similar between experimental plants exposed 31 to soil microbial communities from underneath female conspecific, male conspecific, and 32 heterospecific adult trees. However, seedling colonization by AM fungi was higher in male soil 33 microbial communities. Similarly, at the end of the 7-mo field experiment, survival and biomass 34 did not differ among experimental seedlings grown in female, male, and heterospecific 35 environments (but biomass was reduced near larger conspecific adults). Together, our 36 experiments did not support the hypothesis that conspecific seedling performance is reduced in 37 female environments relative to male environments, despite reductions in colonization by 38 mutualistic AM fungi in female soil microbial communities. Thus, intraspecific variation in the

Spatial correlation of the maximum shear strain loading rate and the correlation dimension along the Sumatra subduction margin for potential earthquake and tsunami hazard study and analysis

ABSTRACT The potential earthquake and tsunami hazard along the Sumatra subduction margin, especially around the coast of West Sumatra-Bengkulu, was investigated based on the availability of pre-seismic surface displacement data and shallow crustal earthquake catalogue data from 1907 to 2016. The pre-seismic surface displacement data is based on the displacement data prior to and corrected displacement data after major earthquakes. Using the results of our previous study on the local covariance function and the relationship of Correlation Dimension (DC) with the b-value of Gutenberg-Richter (GR) Law, we estimated the maximum horizontal crustal strain rate (SHmax) and DC around the study area. Least squares prediction based on horizontal displacement data using the local covariance function is used to estimate the displacement model in the entire gridding study area with a 10 km × 10 km size. Furthermore, DC is calculated based on the b-value using the maximum likelihood method based on the input of a constant number of earthquake samples, assuming the regional b-value of GR Law equals 1. Furthermore, the spatial correlation of SHmax and DC can define the area of possible earthquake hazard potential. The identification results are then linked with previous stress reconstruction results for seismic hazard study and analysis. Based on the finding, we then estimate the Seismic Hazard Function (SHF) and Tsunami Height simulation to estimate the possible hazard risk at several observation points. We suggest that the result of this study could be beneficial to understand better the potential seismic and tsunami hazard in the future, mainly to support mitigation purposes.
Promoting Survival and Primitive Reflexes to Prevent Brain Imbalance in Premature Infants: A Scoping Review of New Insights by Physiotherapists on Developmental Disorders

Survival reflexes, originating from the brainstem, are involuntary motor responses that are present at birth and facilitate the survival of the neonate. The age of the baby is critical enough to give information about the maturation of these reflexes. In the case of preterm babies, the delayed maturity of these reflexes may pose a threat to the life of the newborn. One can perceive what the baby can feel, taste, smell, see, and hear through reflex maturation. The objective was to identify and understand the role of survival reflexes and primitive reflexes and their importance in premature children. PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), ProQuest, The Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science were the electronic databases used from January 2017 until November 2022. We included the original articles, reviews, and randomized clinical trials that focused on the importance of survival reflexes. Later on, all the articles were systematically arranged as per the information they provided, and 101 titles were selected, of which 32 met the inclusion criteria. Various articles were written regarding the present literature about primitive reflexes, but none promoted them in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This review is regarding the use of survival reflexes to improve the outcomes of neonates, specifically in the NICU. Simple interactions with the environment are made possible by primitive reflexes, which also serve as the foundation for early movement. This review presents a better understanding of the maturation of survival reflexes and primitive reflexes and provides further insight into how a physiotherapist can concentrate on the early identification and development of these reflexes to prevent further complications. Assessing the primitive reflex in the NICU will help in the early identification of developmental delay and further help us predict reflex maturation. Promoting them will provide positive outcomes in terms of neonatal development. A physiotherapist can play a vital role starting from the NICU to get the baby into an environment similar to the mother’s womb and therapy to get the early maturation of the reflex.
Two Types of Arctic Oscillation and Their Associated Dynamic Features

Abstract In this paper, the dynamical evolutions of two types of Arctic Oscillation (AO), the stratospheric (S) and tropospheric (T) types, have been investigated on an intermediate time scale in terms of transient eddy feedback forcing and three-dimensional Rossby wave propagation. S-Type (T-type) events are characterized by an anomalous stratospheric polar vortex that is in phase (out of phase) with its tropospheric counterpart. Approximately onethird of AO events, both positive and negative, are T-type events. For the positive phase of a T-type event, the formation and maintenance of stratospheric positive anomalies over the polar cap are associated with an upward propagation of Rossby wave packets originating from the near-tropopause altitude over northeastern Asia. However, such upward propagating features are not found for S-type events. In the troposphere, transient eddy feedback forcing is primarily responsible for the meridional seesaw structure of both the S- and T-type events, with an additional contribution from Rossby wave propagation.
Interannual and interdecadal variability in the timing and strength of the spring transitions along the United States west coast

approved: Stj Paul Ted Strub Past studies of the Oregon and Washington coast have shown a rapid change in the coastal ocean conditions with the onset of upwelling in spring. This process, called the spring transition marks the change from winter to summer conditions along the west coast of Unites States. To examine the interannual and interdecadal variability of the spring transition, a state-space statistical model is applied to records of adjusted sea level (ASL) and the Coastal Upwelling Index (CUI) for the years 19711998. The same model is applied to the single Crescent City sea level from 1953 to 1998 to extend the analysis to the longest period possible. The state-space model estimates nonlinear, step-like changes in the first Empirical Orthogonal Function time series of these two variables along the northern California, Oregon and Washington coast. The spring transition dates are obtained using both variables between 1971-1998. In general the spring transition dates and strengths do not show a systematic change in the mid-1970's, when other changes have been noted in the North Pacific ocean and atmosphere. Although the dates after 1977 appear more variable. The spring transitions are consistently strong for the periods 1972-1975 and 1995-1998; during 1984-1994, the transitions are more often weak and variable. Using composite maps of sea level pressure (SLP) and wind stress for years with weak and strong transitions, we present characteristic fields of surface forcing, before, during and after the transition. We conclude that: before strong transitions, there is a strong Aleutian Low, centered in the middle of the Gulf of Alaska, inducing strong downwelling winds from _40°-50° N; during the strong transitions there is a rapid expansion of the North Pacifica High and weakening and splitting of the Aleutian Low; after strong transitions the North Pacific High creates upwelling favorable winds from 50° N to Baja California. Before weak transitions the Aleutian low is centered northeastward, inducing weaker downwelling winds along the coast north of 40° N; the North Pacific High is relative weak and an extends to -40° N; during weak transition the North Pacific High expands northwestward to -45° N and the Aleutian Low remains strong; after weak transitions, downwelling-favorable winds continue north of 45° N.

Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the omentum in an adult male: a case report and literature review

Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRTs) are rare tumors with high mortality rates and poor prognoses. MRTs occur mainly in the central nervous system, kidneys, and soft tissues, but rarely in the omentum. MRTs occur more commonly in infants and children and less frequently in adults. Here, we report the first observed case of MRT in an adult omentum. A 35-year-old man with abdominal distension and pain was admitted to the emergency department. Previously, several hospitals considered patients with cirrhosis who had not received active treatment. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse omental thickening and massive ascites. The surgery was performed at our hospital, and the pathological diagnosis was MRT with a SMARCB1(INI-1) deletion. Postoperatively, his symptoms improved, and he underwent five cycles of chemotherapy. However, 6 months after surgery, the tumor developed liver metastases, and the patient subsequently died. Primary MRT of the greater omentum is rare, and its pathological diagnosis usually requires extensive clinicopathological evaluation of various differential diagnoses and an appropriate work-up to exclude other malignancies associated with SMARCB1 deletion. At the same time, the lack of specific signs of omental MRT and its rapid progression should alert clinicians.
A thin‐layer dielectric and metamaterial unit‐cell stack loaded miniaturized SRR‐based antenna for triple narrow band 4G‐LTE applications

This article presents the design of a miniaturized dual‐band antenna for long‐term evolution (LTE) application is presented. In the basic antenna design, split ring resonator was loaded in the radiating plane of the patch and frequency of resonance was further modified with the help of E‐shaped stub. The antenna has been fabricated using FR‐4 substrate and the measured dual bands at 2.11 and 2.665 GHz are found in a close match with the simulated data. By placing a thin dielectric resonator of permittivity ε r = 10.2 and thickness of 1.27 mm, two closely spaced narrow bands are obtained at 2.217 and 2.28 GHz. A novel metamaterial unit‐cell having near‐zero refractive index is designed and mounted above the dielectric resonator. This stack configuration generates triple narrow frequency band in the LTE 2 GHz spectrum range. The overall size of the proposed antenna is 20 × 25 mm2.
Islamic Leadership: Prophet Muhammad as a Role Model for being Charismatic, Transformational, and Servant Leader

A well-functioning organization or company requires a capable leader who can effectively motivate and influence the people around them. Numerous leadership models serve as the foundation for appointing leaders in different organizations. For a devout Muslim, the Prophet Muhammad SAW serves as an exemplary leader. This qualitative study, utilizing a literature review method, aims to uncover the leadership traits of the Prophet Muhammad SAW within three leadership models: Charismatic Leadership, Transformational Leadership, and Servant Leadership. The results proofs how Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) embodies transformational leadership by articulating a visionary perspective of the future and inspiring his followers to achieve greatness. Furthermore, it highlights his role as a servant leader, prioritizing the needs of others, fostering meaningful relationships, and cultivating a sense of togetherness within the community. By analyzing the principles employed by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), this research provides valuable insights into the application of his leadership traits for contemporary leadership models, encouraging leaders to emulate his exemplary qualities for the betterment of their organizations and communities.
A Comprehensive Literature Review on Managing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Addressing Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Females and Its Autoimmune Disease Associations

This review aimed to evaluate the mechanism of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, particularly in the female population, and emphasize the need for early management interventions; explore the association between SLE and two autoimmune diseases, myasthenia gravis (MG) and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), and their management strategies; and evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions in managing SLE, focusing on premenopausal females, females of childbearing age, and pregnant patients. We conducted a comprehensive literature review to achieve these objectives using various databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane. The collected data were analyzed and synthesized to provide an evidence-based overview of SLE, its management strategies as an independent disease, and some disease associations. The treatment should be focused on remission, preventing organ damage, and improving the overall quality of life (QOL). Extensive emphasis should also be focused on diagnosing SLE and concurrent underlying secondary diseases timely and managing them appropriately.
A HOSPITAL BASED DESCRIPTIVE STUDY TO EVALUATE THE FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTION IN TREATMENT OF CHRONIC LOW BACK ACHE WITH RADICULOPATHY

Background: Low back pain is one of the common complaints. Sciatica is the general term which refers to Radiating leg pain with or without low back pain. About 90% of the patients with sciatica recover naturally with conservative measures over a period of 1 year. To reduce this natural recovery time numerous authors advise local delivery of steroids and anesthetics near the affected nerve roots. Materials and Methods: 200 Patients were included in the study. This study was done at Alluri Sita Rama Raju Medical College, Eluru. Pateints were followed up for 1year. Details like, sex, age, occupation, level of physical activites, were talken into consederation while analyzing the results. Patients were assessed with Oswestry Disability Index at regular follow-ups. Result: Among 200 patients, majority of them were males and majority of them were between 41 to 50 years. The results of Oswestry Disability Index gradually decreased with time after the epidural steroid injection. Conclusion: There is significant improvement both statistically and clinically with epidural steroid injection in intervetebral disc prolapse patients.
Baseline Characteristics of Patients in the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure With an Aldosterone Antagonist Trial

Background—Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function with an Aldosterone Antagonist (TOPCAT) is an ongoing randomized controlled trial of spironolactone versus placebo for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We sought to describe the baseline clinical characteristics of subjects enrolled in TOPCAT relative to other contemporary observational studies and randomized clinical trials of HFpEF. Methods and Results—Between August 2006 and January 2012, 3445 patients with symptomatic HFpEF from 270 sites in 6 countries were enrolled in TOPCAT. At the baseline study visit, all subjects provided a detailed medical history and underwent physical examination, electrocardiography, quality of life, and laboratory assessment. Key parameters were compared with other large, contemporary HFpEF studies. The mean age was 68.6±9.6 years with a slight female predominance (52%); mean body mass index was 32 kg/m2; and comorbidities were common. History of hypertension (91% prevalence in TOPCAT) exceeded all other major HFpEF clinical trials. However, baseline blood pressure was well controlled (129/76 mm Hg; systolic blood pressure 7–16 mm Hg lower than other similar trials). Other common comorbidities included coronary artery disease (57%), atrial fibrillation (35%), chronic kidney disease (38%) and diabetes mellitus (32%). Self-reported activity levels were low, quality of life scores were comparable with those reported for patients with end-stage renal disease, and the prevalence of moderate or greater depression was 27%. Conclusions—TOPCAT subjects share many common characteristics with contemporary HFpEF cohorts. Low activity level, significantly decreased quality of life, and depression were common at baseline in TOPCAT, underscoring the continued unmet need for evidence-based treatment strategies in HFpEF.

Bacteriological quality of meat and hygiene practice among meat handlers in Kathmandu, Nepal

We investigated bacterial growth from raw meats and items used during meat handling, and hygiene practices followed by meat handlers at butcher shops in Kathmandu. A cross-sectional study was conducted; a total of 200 swab samples were collected from 121 butcher shops. A mean bacterial count was performed, and bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility test were performed. A face-to-face interview was conducted to evaluate the hygiene practices. Out of 200 samples, 90.5% showed bacterial growth. All Buffalo meat samples and more than 90.0% of Goat and Pork meat samples showed bacterial growth, and only 60.0% of knife swabs showed bacterial growth. Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant isolate followed by Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. , Citrobacter spp. , Klebsiella spp. , and Proteus spp. Mean bacterial count in Buffalo meat (6.43 log cfu/cm2 ) was the highest followed by Pork meat (5.26 log cfu/cm2 ) and Goat meat (5.04 log cfu/cm2 ). A total of 456 bacteria were isolated, of which 24.3% were multi-drug resistant. Out of 136 S. aureus isolated, 10.2% were Methicillin Resistant S. aureus. A statistically significant difference was noted in carcass handling during hand injury, before and after knives and chopping block cleaning, use of fly and rodent controllers, and clean water supply. Hygiene practices depicted a significant relation with the mean bacterial count, whilst no significant relation with hand hygiene practice after the use of restrooms and use of gloves. Bacterial growth in meat and butcher items is at an alarming rate in spite of having good hygiene practices and nearly a quarter of isolates are multi-drug resistant.
