Authors: Nathan-Mensah Frances , Issaka Abubakar Issaka , Osisiogu Emmanuel U.
Published: October 2024

This study evaluated the bacterial contamination of salads sold in open markets in Accra, Ghana. Salad samples were gathered from 30 vendors in both Madina and Nima markets. The microbiological analysis included standard plate counts (SPC), Enterobacteriaceae counts (EC), and coliform counts (CC). In total, sixty salad samples were quantitatively assessed for aerobic mesophiles, Enterobacteriaceae, and coliforms using culture-based methods, with identification of bacterial isolates. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. It was found that 40% of the samples exceeded acceptable limits for SPC. The mean SPC was significantly higher (p=0.042) in unacceptable samples (3.23x108 cfu/g) compared to acceptable samples (1.09x106 cfu/g), indicating issues with handling. Both EC and CC means were elevated in both categories but did not differ significantly. Isolated organisms included Salmonella spp. and Staphylococcus spp. Salads served by hand had higher SPC (3.28x108 cfu/g) and CC (2.67x107 cfu/g) compared to those served with a spoon, while salads in food flasks exhibited higher counts than those in polythene bags for SPC (4.53x108 cfu/g, p=0.021) and CC (1.80x108 cfu/g). Enclosed vending areas showed greater microbial loads across all parameters compared to open sites. Poor hygiene practices in salad vending likely contributed to the significant microbial contamination observed. Implementing targeted interventions and regular testing could enhance the safety of street food.

The psychosocial effects of poverty on the academic performance of secondary school learners from child-headed households in Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe
Authors:   , Chidhumo Vincent
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT This phenomenological study, which was based on an interpretive research paradigm, was conducted in Zimbabwe's Chimanimani District in the Manicaland Province with the purpose of examining the psychosocial effects of poverty on the academic performance of secondary school learners from child-headed homes. The psychological theory of Erikson and the ecological systems theory of Bronfenbrenner were used as the theoretical frameworks. Data collection methods included focus groups, interviews, and document analysis. Participants were carefully chosen, and there were 32 secondary school learners, teachers, administrators, and members of the School Development Committees. In the data analysis, themes and content were looked at. The study established that a large number of learners from child-headed homes lacked access to a healthy diet, high-quality education, school uniforms, fees, knowledgeable staff, resources, and support from the school, which had a detrimental effect on their health as well as their psychological growth and academic success. It is suggested that stakeholders help kids from childheaded homes to lessen the psychosocial effects of poverty on their academic performance based on the findings of the current study. To help learners from low-income households, the government ought to prioritize financing for BEAM expansion. The Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development must examine the curriculum offered by teachers' colleges to train guidance and counseling school instructors. The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education should adequately staff and resource the School Psychological Services in order for it to effectively fulfill its mandate of treating learners with psychological, social, and emotional issues. In addition, school administrators should give priority to incomegenerating initiatives that would help disadvantaged populations, particularly learners from families with secondary school learners. The study created a diamond child-headed home intervention model based on the literature review and research findings, which can be used in the development and implementation of programs to address the welfare and educational help of learners from child-headed households.

Published: October 2024

Plant-pathogen interactions are a critical aspect of plant biology, reflecting the ongoing evolutionary battle between plants and the various pathogens that threaten them, including fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and oomycetes. To survive, plants have developed a diverse array of defense mechanisms, ranging from pre-formed structural barriers to complex molecular and cellular responses that are activated upon pathogen attack. This review provides a comprehensive overview of these defense strategies, including the role of pre-formed and induced structural defenses, chemical defenses, and the intricate signaling pathways that regulate these responses. Additionally, we examine the mechanisms underlying disease resistance, such as gene-for-gene resistance, quantitative resistance, systemic acquired resistance (SAR), and induced systemic resistance (ISR). The review also highlights recent advances in genetic engineering techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9, transgenic approaches, and RNA interference, which are being used to enhance disease resistance in crops. Understanding these defense mechanisms and leveraging modern biotechnological tools are essential for developing more resilient crops and ensuring global food security in the face of ever-evolving pathogen threats.

Organic farming, characterized by the exclusion of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, emphasizes the use of natural resources and processes. The analysis focuses on the impact of these practices on key aspects of agricultural sustainability. For soil health, organic farming has been found to enhance soil fertility and biodiversity through the use of natural compost, green manure, and crop rotations. In terms of crop yield, while organic farming traditionally faces perceptions of lower productivity, advancements in techniques are narrowing the yield gap between organic and conventional farming. Additionally, the quality and resilience of organic produce are often higher, especially under environmental stressors like drought. The environmental sustainability of organic farming is a signi icant bene it, contributing to biodiversity, reducing pollution, and mitigating climate change through lower carbon emissions and enhanced carbon sequestration. However, the transition to and broader adoption of organic farming practices are not without challenges. These include the need for labour-intensive management, comprehensive knowledge of organic methods, and the complexities of certi ication. The article concludes that while organic farming faces certain limitations, its bene its in promoting sustainable agriculture are substantial. Embracing organic farming practices could be crucial in addressing contemporary environmental and food security challenges, paving the way for a more sustainable agricultural future.

Abstract. Ozone in the troposphere is a prominent pollutant whose production is sensitive to the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). In this study, we assess the variation of tropospheric ozone levels, trends, ozone photochemical regimes, and radiative effects using the ECHAM6–HAMMOZ chemistry-climate model for the period 1998–2019 and satellite measurements. The global mean simulated trend in Tropospheric Column Ozone (TRCO) during 1998–2019 is 0.89 ppb decade−1. The simulated global mean TRCO trends (1.58 ppb decade−1) show fair agreement with OMI/MLS (2005–2019) (1.4 ppb decade−1). The simulations for doubling emissions of NOx (DNOx), VOCs (DVOC), halving of emissions NOx (HNOx) and VOCs (HVOC) show nonlinear responses to ozone trends and tropospheric ozone photochemical regimes. The DNOX simulations show VOC–limited regimes over Indo-Gangetic Plains, Eastern China, Western Europe, and the eastern US, while HNOx simulations show NOx–limited regimes over America and Asia. Emissions changes in NOx (DNOx/HNOx) influence the shift in tropospheric ozone photochemical regimes compared to VOCs (DVOC/HVOC). Further, we provide estimates of tropospheric ozone radiative effects (TO3RE). The estimated global mean TO3RE during 1998–2019 from the CTL simulations is 1.21 W m−2. The global mean TO3RE shows enhancement by 0.36 W m−2 in DNOx simulations than CTL. While TO3RE shows reduction in other simulations compared to CTL (DVOC: by -0.005 W m−2; HNOx: by -0.12 W m−2; and HVOC: by -0.03 W m−2). The impact of anthropogenic NOx emissions is higher on TO3RE than VOCs emissions globally.
Hybrid hydrological modeling for large alpine basins: a semi-distributed approach
Authors: Li Bu , Sun Ting , Tian Fuqiang , Tudaji Mahmut , Qin Li , Ni Guangheng
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Alpine basins are important water sources for human life, and reliable hydrological modeling can enhance the water resource management in alpine basins. Recently, hybrid hydrological models, coupling process-based models and deep learning (DL), have exhibited considerable promise in hydrological simulations. However, a notable limitation of existing hybrid models lies in their failure to incorporate spatial information within the basin and describe alpine hydrological processes, which restricts their applicability in hydrological modeling in large alpine basins. To address this issue, we develop a set of hybrid semi-distributed hydrological models by employing a process-based model as the backbone and utilizing embedded neural networks (ENNs) to parameterize and replace different internal modules. The proposed models are tested on three large alpine basins on the Tibetan Plateau. A climate perturbation method is further used to test the applicability of the hybrid models to analyze the hydrological sensitivities to climate change in large alpine basins. Results indicate that proposed hybrid hydrological models can perform well in predicting runoff processes and simulating runoff component contributions in large alpine basins. The optimal hybrid model with Nash–Sutcliffe efficiencies (NSEs) higher than 0.87 shows comparable performance to state-of-the-art DL models. The hybrid model also exhibits remarkable capability in simulating hydrological processes at ungauged sites within the basin, markedly surpassing traditional distributed models. In addition, the results also show reasonable patterns in the analysis of the hydrological sensitivities to climate change. Overall, this study provides a high-performance tool enriched with explicit hydrological knowledge for hydrological prediction and improves our understanding about the hydrological sensitivities to climate change in large alpine basins.

Authors: Madeline Wurst  , Anna Brameli  , Matthew Krantz  , Peebles, Jr. R. Stokes , Yasmin Khan  , Stone, Jr. Cosby A.
Published: October 2024

Background: Consultations to pediatric allergy/immunology are of benefit to many hospitalized inpatients, but there is limited current information about how T-cell receptor excision circles (TREC) screening may have changed these patterns for pediatric populations. We aimed to determine the types of consults being requested and their relative frequencies for primary pediatric allergy/immunology consults under an academic fellowship program since the start of TREC screening in 2016. Information gained could help identify focal concepts for pediatric allergy inpatient training curricula for fellowship and graduate medical education programs.
 Methods: Under an IRB approved study of an academic allergy fellowship consultation log, we retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records of pediatric allergy and immunology consults and categorized consultations by their primary indication. 
 
Results: Three-hundred and eighty-three pediatric allergy/immunology consultations were seen between September 4, 2016 to November 24, 2022.  In terms of frequency, the most common consultation was for immunodeficiency evaluation or treatment, n=205 (53.5%), followed by drug allergy n=55 (14.4%), general allergy concerns n=43 (11.2%), skin allergy n=35 (9.1%), and less commonly inflammatory syndromes, n=26 (6.8%) and food allergy, n=19 (5.0%).  Questions related to TREC screening comprised 21% of all immunodeficiency consults, at n=43.
Conclusion: At an academic allergy center where all allergy/immunology service lines are currently provided, the most common reason for pediatric consultations were for help with immunodeficiency evaluation/treatment and drug allergy. TREC screening is a new key indication for consultation. Fellowship programs may benefit from focusing on these content areas for the pediatric inpatient setting.

Published: October 2024

Animal models have been critical in understanding the pathogenesis, transmission, and therapeutic interventions for COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2. The primary challenges include species-specific differences in viral receptor expression, particularly the ACE2 receptor, and immune system responses, which can affect how closely these models mimic human COVID-19 pathology. Additionally, ethical concerns around the use of animals, especially non-human primates, and logistical issues such as high costs, housing requirements, and limited availability of certain models, further complicate research efforts. Transgenic mice expressing human ACE2 (hACE2) are widely used because of their ease of handling and cost-effectiveness. Other animal models include non-human primates, hamsters, cats, and ferrets, which were used to study viral transmission and host-pathogen interactions. The rapid dynamics of the SARSCoV-2 evolution is one of the challenges and the complementary use of multiple models provides a more comprehensive understanding of the disease. Nonetheless, these models have been essential for rapid advancements in COVID19 vaccine and therapeutic development, offering insights that continue to guide public health strategies. The review discusses the various animal models used in SARS-CoV-2 research, the outcomes, and the challenges and questions to be addressed Keywords: Animal models, SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19

Dairy cows undergoing the transition phase often face nutritional challenges, impacting their antioxidant status and lactational performance. To address these challenges, the incorporation of rumen-protected methionine and lysine in the diet has emerged as a strategic intervention.Twelve crossbred cows inthe transition period were randomly divided into two groups of six animals. The control group and treatment group were fed with a standard diet (ICAR, 2013) while the treatment group was supplemented with rumen-protected methionine and lysine. Throughout the trial period, all the animals were subjected to consistent management and feeding conditions.Glutathione peroxide(GPx)levels exhibited a statistically significant difference between groups, with the treatment consistently showing higher GPx levels, indicating an improvement in antioxidant capacity, where it helps regulate systemic oxidative stress.The recorded milk yield data was utilized to compute the daily milk production for each individual for the experimental period. Milk yield remained unaffected, but the treatment group consistently exhibited higher milk yield, suggesting positive influences on postpartum lactation performance.

Authors: Moon Chan Soo , Lee Hye Na , Kim Yu Won
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in the role identity of directly elected superintendents and the behavioral characteristics constituting it since the implementation of direct elections in 2010. Framework for the analysis including Teacher-Scholar, Business Manager, Educational Political Leader, Social Scientist, and Communicator were established, and a qualitative document analysis was conducted. We collected media articles on the superintendents’ actions from July 1, 2010, to April 30, 2024 for analysis. A gradual sampling process was used to select 1,312 media articles on the superintendents in K province. The data were analyzed using a priori coding based on a preexisting conceptual foundation. The analysis results are as follows. First, the role identity was in the order of Business Manager, Communicator, Teacher-Scholar, Educational Political Leader,
Social Scientist. Second, the changes in the role identity by year showed a strong Business Manager identity for all four terms. Third, the themes that could constitute the characteristics of each role identity included “City/Province Educational Organization and Resource Manager”, “Communicator Utilizing Various Channels”, “City/Province Education Improver and Promoter”, “Political Strategist Responding to Ideological Conflicts”, “Expert and Data Utilizer”, and “Community Connector and Contributor.” The following policy implications are suggested from the findings: redefining the superintendent’s role, clarifying the required qualifications, enhancing capabilities.
A MODEL FOR PAYNE EFFECT AND ITS VARIATION WITH TEMPERATURE
Authors: Narayan S. P. Atul , Palade Liviu Iulian
Published: October 2024

A fully objective and thermodynamically consistent constitutive equation that models the Payne effect and its temperature dependence is presented. It is based on a Helmholtz-potential–based thermodynamic framework and the notion of evolving multiple natural configurations. The model uses four additional parameters than those necessary to describe the viscoelasticity at small deformations to capture the Payne effect of the material. In addition, it uses only one additional parameter to capture the temperature dependence of the mechanical behavior. The model was shown to describe experimental results of the Payne effect reasonably well over a temperature range of −20 to 100 °C.
LOW TEMPERATURE CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR OF NATURAL RUBBER BY DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Yao Minglong , Wang Zhepeng , Robertson Christopher G.
Published: October 2024

A fundamental study of low temperature crystallization of natural rubber (NR) gum polymer (raw elastomer) was conducted using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) in oscillatory shear rheology mode. Isothermal crystallization was followed using DMA for crystallization temperatures ranging from −15 to −35 °C, with the maximum rate of crystallization noted at −25 °C. After the isothermal crystallization (annealing) for times from 6 to 9 h, DMA heating scans revealed two melting transitions (α and β) with locations that depended on the prior annealing temperature. The locations of these melting transitions were comparable with literature results for melting peaks by differential scanning calorimetry. At temperatures above these melting transitions, we identified two additional relaxations in the DMA heating trace that did not depend on the prior crystallization history. We also found evidence of the melt memory effect in polymer crystallization, which is discussed. During annealing at −25 °C, high cis-1,4 isoprene rubber (IR) showed considerably slower and lower extent of crystallization than NR, and crosslinked NR did not show noticeable crystallization within the 12-h experiment.
СЛОВА СО ЗНАЧЕНИЕМ ‘ПУП’ И ‘ПУПОВИНА’ В ЭПИЧЕСКОМ КОНТЕКСТЕ (УЛИГЕРЫ ПРЕДБАЙКАЛЬСКИХ БУРЯТ)
Authors: Николаева Н.Н.
Published: October 2024

В статье исследованы выражения и традиционные формулы бурятского героического эпоса, в которых основное значение связано с лексемами с семантикой ‘пуп’ или ‘пуповина’: хүй, хүйһэн, хүбшэргэ, хүбшэргэй, хүбшэргэн. Определено, что понятия, включающие в себя эти слова, несут в себе значение связи – либо родственной, между эпическим героем и его невестой, либо божественной – между героем и его небесным покровителем. Также эту связь можно интерпретировать более широко – как медиаторную между Небом и Землей. Также слово хүй ‘пуп’ обозначает мифологический центр, середину мира, средоточие мифологических объектов.

The article examines the expressions and traditional formulas of the Buryat heroic epic, in which the main meaning is associated with lexemes with the semantics of a ‘navel’ or an ‘umbilical cord’: khui, khuikhen, khubsherge, khubshergei, khubshergen. It is determined that the concepts that include these words have the meaning of a connection – either kindred, between the epic hero and his bride, or divine – between the hero and his heavenly patron. This connection can also be interpreted more broadly as a mediator between the Heaven and Earth. Besides, the word khui  a ‘navel’ also means the mythological center, the center of mythological objects, the middle of the world.
A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Busulfan: Recommendations from the Pharmacist Committee of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT)
Authors: Admiraal Rick , Langebrake Claudia
Published: October 2024

Busulfan (Bu) is an important component of many conditioning regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. The therapeutic window of Bu is well characterized, with strong associations between Bu exposure and the clinical outcome in adults (strongest evidence in myelo-ablative setting) and children (all settings). We provide an overview of the literature on Bu as well as a step-by-step guide to the implementation of Bu therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). The guide covers the clinical, pharmacological, laboratory and administrative aspects of the procedure. Through this document, we aim to support centers in implementing TDM for Bu to further enhance the success rates of HCT and improve patient outcomes. The Pharmacist Committee of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) encourages all centers to perform TDM for Bu in the aforementioned indications.
MRGM: an enhanced catalog of mouse gut microbial genomes substantially broadening taxonomic and functional landscapes
Authors: Kim Nayeon
Published: October 2024

Mouse gut microbiome research is pivotal for understanding the human gut microbiome, providing insights into disease modeling, host-microbe interactions, and the dietary influence on the gut microbiome. To enhance the translational value of mouse gut microbiome studies, we need detailed and high-quality catalogs of mouse gut microbial genomes. We introduce the Mouse Reference Gut Microbiome (MRGM), a comprehensive catalog with 42,245 non-redundant mouse gut bacterial genomes across 1,524 species. MRGM marks a 40% increase in the known taxonomic diversity of mouse gut microbes, capturing previously underrepresented lineages through refined genome quality assessment techniques. MRGM not only broadens the taxonomic landscape but also enriches the functional landscape of the mouse gut microbiome. Using deep learning, we have elevated the Gene Ontology annotation rate for mouse gut microbial proteins from 3.2% with orthology to 60%, marking an over 18-fold increase. MRGM supports both DNA- and marker-based taxonomic profiling by providing custom databases, surpassing previous catalogs in performance. Finally, taxonomic and functional comparisons between human and mouse gut microbiota reveal diet-driven divergences in their taxonomic composition and functional enrichment. Overall, our study highlights the value of high-quality microbial genome catalogs in advancing our understanding of the co-evolution between gut microbes and their host.
The Ruins of Solitude
Authors: Bragg Lette
Published: October 2024

What happens when love unravels one’s knowledge structures? In The Ruins of Solitude, after the birth of a child, Bragg embraces the event of love and examines the resulting disintegration of her supposed authorial subjectivity. Against the pressure to produce and organize knowledge—the pressure of writing a dissertation, for example—Bragg contemplates the poetic modes of thinking and ethics that emerge from her experience of reading continental philosophy while caring for her infant child. Dwelling on what she would have once excluded from her intellectual work—her maternity, the mole on her chest, her palm against another body, her exhaustion at the work of deconstruction—Bragg details a shift in her orientation and method that leads to creative theoretical thought, allowing her to illuminate and interrogate what she names “solitude,” a condition of academic discourse that limits our critical-liberatory projects of transformation.

Ultimately, The Ruins of Solitude lets go of authority and mastery, and engages in a poetic and fractured writing style that lets in the relationality of thought. Bragg offers a philosophy of bodies beyond solitude and an intimacy of love and writing that fractures solitude, bringing forward the possibility of selfhood and authorship uncontained by the isolationist, tangible time of the present. Bragg's book also unravels familiar narratives of childcare, considering the parallels between poststructuralist theory and the embodied materiality of relation.
