Authors: Huang Felicity , Wang David H. , Foo Chuan T. , Young Alan C. , Fok Jie Shen , Thien Francis
Published: October 2022

Background

In 2016, Melbourne was struck by the world's largest and most devastating epidemic thunderstorm asthma (ETSA) episode. While affected individuals displayed worsened short-term asthma control, little is known about their longer-term natural history, nor about interventions that restore control.

Objective

We assessed the asthma symptomatology and related behaviours of ETSA-affected individuals through a single-centre prospective 5-year longitudinal study. We embedded an open-label observational trial investigating the role of grass pollen sublingual tablet (Oralair) allergen immunotherapy in improving asthma and allergic rhinitis symptoms.

Methods

Allergic rhinitis symptom severity, frequency of asthma symptoms and inhaled corticosteroid usage were assessed via questionnaire yearly. In 2018, a subgroup of participants was enrolled in an observational study of Oralair treatment compared to control. The active group received Oralair from 2019 to 2021; both groups were followed-up for 5 years. Subgroup analyses were performed for participants with complete datasets, and who completed the trial per-protocol.

Results

Year-on-year data across 5 years was available for 30 participants. The rate of persistent asthma symptoms declined from 37% to 7% in 2016 to 2021. Only 10%-27% of participants reported being completely asymptomatic in any given year. The inhaled preventer prescription rate was 67%, with only 35% being adherent. Twenty-seven participants with available data completed the Oralair trial per-protocol. No significant difference was noted between control and active groups for allergic rhinitis symptoms or asthma control, although the Oralair group saw a significant improvement in asthma control comparing 2019 with 2021.

Conclusion

This is the longest documented follow-up of ETSA-affected individuals. Five years following sentinel event, there was progressive reduction but some persistence in asthma symptoms. Oralair allergen immunotherapy did not further improve allergic rhinitis or asthma symptoms compared to control, but there were no further ETSA events to test a protective effect during the study period.
The effectiveness of advanced practice registered nurses with wound care specialization in the home setting on wound resolution and healthcare utilizationhe Home Setting on Wound Resolution and Healthcare Utilization

Published: October 2022

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) with wound specialization on wound resolution and healthcare (HC) utilization for home health patients.Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a convenience sample of 30 participants admitted to home health (HH) services compared to a retrospective chart review of 46 participants matched in terms of volume, wound type, wound size, gender, and age was used during the study. The APRN conducted a physical exam and history, obtained wound photography, developed a treatment plan, performed therapy, wrote orders for products and services, and provided a minimum of weekly follow-up visits. Healthcare utilization comprised time for healing, admits to a higher level of care, and amputations. Wound resolution was observed at 80% and 100% closure.Results: The Intervention and Control Groups were comparable in terms of gender, wound type, age, and acuity, were similar regarding wounds per patient. Both groups achieved 80% volume, 80% area, and 100% wound resolution, regardless of wound types. The Intervention Group’s days to wound resolution was statistically significant for fewer days than the Control Group. This difference persisted after analysis of wound types within the groups. The Intervention Group had fewer acute care admits (10%) compared to the Control Group (50%), and the number of amputations was higher in the Control Group, with six amputations compared to only one in the Intervention Group.Conclusions: Using APRNs with wound specialization improved patient outcomes, efficiency, and costs. The program should be evaluated for adoption and expansion. Further research into the impact of wound-specialized APRNs in the home setting is recommended.
Improving Wellbeing Through a Modern, Integrated Experience
Authors: Perrott Alaine
Published: October 2022

This article is a summary of the research undertaken on the concept of improving individuals’ wellbeing which was carried out between February 2021 and February 2022. This involved desktop research, a consumer survey and stakeholder interviews. Key factors that contribute to wellbeing are investigated (with a focus on personal finance) as well as existing solutions that are available to improve wellbeing in New Zealand (NZ).

From this research a wellbeing eco-system consisting of four elements is defined: personal, financial, community and environmental wellbeing. These elements are interlinked and together present a holistic approach to improving wellbeing. The benefits of improving wellbeing are also discussed. Just as the elements are interlinked, there are demonstrated flow-on benefits to improving wellbeing in each area. Using this framework as a basis, a modern, end-to-end solution is designed, incorporating value-driven products and services and other features that contribute to improving wellbeing which could be developed, empowering people to thrive.

Spoonful of sugar: a case for stress-reduction interventions in medical simulation
Authors: Vage Aaron , Spence Andrew D , Hamilton Paul K , Gormley Gerard J
Published: October 2022

In recent years simulation has gained popularity as an educational tool to shield learners from real-world consequence. However, the inherent risks levied upon those involved have largely remained unaddressed; psychological stress being one of the most potent. Research over the last two decades has shown us that an increase in simulation-related stress goes hand-in-hand with diminishing performance. It is, however, becoming more apparent that there is a solution to this problem, namely in the form of stress-reduction interventions. As educators the time has come to stop abandoning our learners at the edge of their limits, but instead support them in an environment free of the anxieties, stresses and worries that are all too

Published: October 2022

Thrombosis due to hypercoagulable state is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Increased D-dimer levels are an important marker of the presence and risk of thrombosis. In this report, we present that a 59-yearold

male patient developed thrombosis in the distal radial arteries despite normal D-dimer level. The patient was treated with

enoxaparin, iloprost infusion, and cilostazol. This case should lead us to be very careful that people diagnosed with COVID-19 with

normal D-dimer levels may also have thrombosis.

Published: October 2022

Objective: We aimed to determine respiratory morbidity of late preterm infants versus infants with intrauterine growth retardation
(IUGR) at school-age.
Patients and Methods: Late preterm appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants (34-36, 6/7 weeks) (Group 1), IUGR infants (Group
2), extremely preterm AGA (Group 3) and term AGA infants (Group 4) born between 2004 and 2008 were included in this casecontrol
study and assessed for respiratory morbidity at school-age. We evaluated the impact of late preterm compared with IUGR and
term gestation on respiratory morbidity by using validated American Thoracic Society – Division of Lung Diseases (ATS-DLD-78-C)
and the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaires. Questionnaires on wheezing, infectious
respiratory morbidity, and physician-diagnosed asthma panels were constituted and groups were compared.
Results: A total of 160 patients were enrolled in the study and 97 (60.6%) of them were boys. Respiratory morbidities at schoolage
were found to be significantly higher in both late preterm and IUGR groups when compared to term controls. Each weekly
increase in gestational age reduced the risk for wheezing episodes (OR perGW:0.82,95%CI:0.71-0.97, p:0.02). Regarding
infectious respiratory morbidities, there was a significant increase when the number of people living at home increased (OR
perperson:1.79,95%CI:1.12-2.87, p:0.01), and a decrease in female gender (OR:0.41,95%CI:0.17-0.99, p:0.04) and in the week of
gestation (OR perGW:0.84,95%CI:0.71-1.00, p:0.04). Atopic dermatitis (OR:5.26,95%CI:1.57-17.69, p<0.01) and maternal asthma
(OR:5.38,95%CI:1.17-24.60, p:0.03) history were found to be risk factors for asthma.
Conclusion: Being IUGR may be an important risk factor for respiratory morbidity at school-age. Further studies are needed on this
subject.

Working-Class Poetry and Publics: The Example of Stig Sjödin

The Swedish poet Stig Sjödin (1917–1993) is generally recognized as an important figure in both Swedish literary history and thehistory of Swedish working-class literature. This status rests almost exclusively on poetry collections published in the 1940s, 1950s and 1970s. In addition to this, however, Sjödin was also active as a poet within the labour movement. By including his politicalinvolvement in the discussion of his poetry collections, this article aims at broadening the understanding of Sjödin’s oeuvre. It also argues that research on modern Swedish workingclass literature must transcend the traditional realm of literature.
Biocontrol Potential, Genome and Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetase Gene Expression of Bacillus velezensis 2211
Authors: Niemhom Nantawan , Kittiwongwattana Chokchai
Published: October 2022

Members of the genus Bacillus produced a diverse group of antimicrobial compounds. Here, we presented the antifungal activity and genome sequence analysis of Bacillus sp. 2211, a potential plant-growth-promoting bacterium. Bacterial supernatants from strain 2211 cultures in nutrient broth (NB) and potato dextrose broth (PDB) suppressed the mycelial growth of Pyricularia oryzae, Colletotrichum aenigma, Colletotrichum fructicola and Fusarium oxysporum. The supernatants were also able to suppress spore germination of these fungi, except for F. oxysporum. However, the supernatant from PDB displayed a significantly higher inhibition activity than NB. Additionally, the supernatant from PDB significantly reduced the disease severity caused by P. oryzae on rice seedlings. The genome of strain 2211 was sequenced. The highest digital DNA-DNA hybridization (80.1%) and average nucleotide identity (97.57%) levels indicated that strain 2211 was a member of the species Bacillus velezensis. The phylogenomic analysis showed that it clustered with B. velezensis NRRL B-41580T, B. velezensis KACC 13105 and B. velezensis subsp. plantarum FZB42T. The gene expression analysis showed the up-regulation of nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) genes bmyA, fenB and dhbE in PDB, compared to NB. This work demonstrated that the culture media affected the antagonistic activity of strain 2211 possibly through the modification of NRPS biosynthesis genes.

Virtue as Birth Control: An Examination of the Account of Rational Participation as a Component of Natural Law in Humanae Vitae and the Documents of the Papal Commission
Authors: Harms Arielle
Published: October 2022

Pope Paul VI’s 1968 encyclical Humanae vitae is one of the most controversial ecclesial documents issued in the last century, still dividing on account of the document’s teaching concerning the licitness of contraception. Related to its position as a flash point in the contraception debate within the Catholic Church, Humanae vitae also served as a major influence on moral theology in general, questioning not just the application of principles, but the principles themselves. While Humanae vitae does not provide a full account of natural law, the account used is a decidedly Thomistic one, where the acts of natural law are those corresponding to virtue.
Catholic Social Teaching, Liberalism, and Economic Justice
Authors: Heron Jason A. , Ranganathan Bharat
Published: October 2022

In this article, we focus on global economic inequality and global justice. Drawing on Rawls’s emphasis on the basic structure (i.e., a society’s economic, political, and social institutions) and the principle of subsidiarity, we address how individual nations are implicated in a global economy that benefits those of us in the affluent global north to the detriment of people in the severely poor global south. While it has focused explicitly on issues within nation-states, magisterial teaching about subsidiarity has thus far inadequately addressed subsidiary structures between interdependent but radically unequal societies in the era of globalization. In light of this inadequacy, we speculate how Catholic Social Teaching’s principle of subsidiarity benefits from Rawls’s (and Rawlsian) explication of the basic structure, especially if the Church is to speak normatively and precisely about global economic inequality.
A Good Moral Teacher Must Be A Good Pre-Moral Teacher: On the Pedagogical Limits of US Constitutional Law
Authors: Menno Justin
Published: October 2022

This article examines Cathleen Kaveny’s treatment of the “legal virtue” of solidarity in the context of U.S. constitutional law. In response, I argue that, given its apparent contractarian anthropological presuppositions, U.S. constitutional law cannot adequately inculcate the virtue of solidarity. In support, I enlist the thought of James Mumford on theories of interpersonal encounter, John Paul II on the virtue of solidarity, and Aquinas on competence in law. In the end, I point to two ways of better recognizing the virtue of solidarity in U.S. constitutional law in the respective work of Carter Snead and Helen Alvare.

Published: October 2022

Background : Individualized three-dimensional (3D) printed skull base tumor model for each patient was printed to discuss a surgical plan with the surgeon and assistant before surgery. This article would demonstrate 3D printer use in skull base tumor surgery. Materials and Methods : Between January 2019 and August 2021, an individualized 3D-printed model was produced for preoperative planning for skull base tumor cases. The radiologic image files were obtained from each patient. The skull and other structures were extracted from images and segmented via the commercialized program. The generated objects were exported to a 3D image file and implemented as a 3D model. Each segmented object was printed with a 3D printer. Results : Seven cases were enrolled in the study, and there were four male patients and three female patients. The median age was 61 years (range, 36-67 years). Four cases were skullbase meningiomas, one case was a schwannoma, one case was a giant pituitary adenoma, and one case was a cerebellar metastatic tumor. Two patients underwent total gross resection, four patients underwent near-total resection, and one case was resected sub-totally. There was no significant postoperative morbidities. Conclusions : Individualized 3D-printed models are beneficial in pre-planning for resection of the skull base tumor. Although there are time-consuming and limitation of economic budget, it is expected that more detailed models can be provided at a lower with an advanced technology in near future. This approach provides conceptual understanding of thorough knowledge around the anatomical complex.
A case of cartilaginous choristoma in epitympanum, presenting as attic cholesteatoma
Authors:   Korea Skull Base Society, Kim Hyojung , Park Soomin , Lee Dong-Hee
Published: October 2022

Choristoma, a type of heterotopia, is a rest of histologically normal tissue in an embryologically abnormal site. Although cartilaginous choristoma of bony external auditory canal has been found often, it is rare in the middle ear cavity. Because of the similarity of shape and color with cholesteatoma and the infrequency of middle ear choristoma, the diagnosis is unsuspected until surgical pathology is obtained. We report a case of attic cartilaginous choristoma in 21-year-old man. Initial diagnosis was attic cholesteatoma and surgical removal was done via transcanal approach. Histologically, it consists of mature cartilage without neoplastic features. This case highlights the importance of considering choriostoma when white mass is seen behind intact tympanic membrane and its feature looks like cholesteatoma.

Tumors developing in the inner ear are far less common than typical vestibular schwannomas involving the internal auditory canal and the cerebellopontine angle. Intralabyrinthine schwannoma with extension into internal auditory canal and middle ear, defined as transotic schwannoma, is an extremely rare type. We report here a case of transotic schwannoma that presented with profound hearing loss and intractable vertigo, which was removed using the transotic approach.
Championing the Challenge for Change

My journey began as a newly qualified Band-5 midwife, navigating preceptorship, and inspired by ways to make the transition smoother. Having trained at the Trust I now worked, I felt my face was better known than my name, so when I stumbled across #TheatreCapChallenge while using Twitter, I was motivated to give it a try, albeit with trepidation. One year ago, I would not have believed that that decision would result in me leading implementation of personalised scrub caps within maternity theatre across two sites, with cross-site plans for Trust-wide roll out progressing well. Now everyone knows who ‘Danni, Midwife’ is.
Research Unwrapped. The Mothers on Respect Index (MORi)
Authors: Bell Anneka
Published: October 2022

Research unwrapped is a popular series to help readers make sense of published research by undertaking a detailed appraisal of an article in a careful and considered manner. In doing so, we can advance our knowledge and understanding of a research topic and apply it to our practice. This process is designed to assess the usefulness of the evidence in terms of decision-making and application to practice. The research being discussed here is a quantitative study focusing on measuring quality, safety, and human rights in childbirth. Within maternity care the everyday provision of human rights is fundamental to women and their families’ wellbeing. I chose to review this article as it discusses the popular topic of improving women’s experience during childbirth, and the way in which medical professionals treat women at this time. As midwives, it is beneficial to reflect upon practice; this means revisiting the basic principles of midwifery with the interests of women and their families put first.
Humanisation of Childbirth 4. The Paradox of the Institution
Authors: Newnham Elizabeth
Published: October 2022

In this fourth article of the 19th Midwifery Basics series, Dr Elizabeth Newnham describes more of the research from the ethnographic study that is outlined in Towards the humanisation of birth: a study of epidural analgesia and hospital birth culture. The background to the study is described in the second article of the series (Newnham 2019). This article focuses on the concept of the paradox of the institution – which incorporates analysis of the beliefs and practices observed within the hospital labour ward, set against the behaviour of the hospital itself – the institutional momentum which added yet another component to the already contested space of birth. The institutional paradox also describes the way in which the hospital defines itself as a site of safety, yet behaves as a site of risk, and the way that technological, interventionist practices, which themselves may carry several risk factors, are perceived as safe, whereas practices that support birth physiology are constructed as risky.

Việc phát triển nông nghiệp theo hướng trên đã đem lại một số chuyển biến có ý nghĩa, nhưng bên cạnh đó cũng gây ra những hệ quả tiêu cực nhất định đối với sinh kế của người dân. Những hệ quả này, trên một số khía cạnh, là rất rõ nét đối với người nông dân ở vùng tái định cư khi họ bị tách khỏi môi trường sống quen thuộc, mà trường hợp những người dân - từng sống ở vùng lòng hồ thủy điện - tại một khu tái định cư ở Lai Châu là ví dụ. Bài viết này nhấn mạnh rằng tiếng nói của người dân về vấn đề đang bàn cần được quan tâm hơn nữa. Các tri thức bản địa và các nguồn lực nội tại của họ cần được chú trọng, vì chúng sẽ góp phần giúp người dân đạt được sự phát triển từ những gì họ có và họ mong muốn chứ không phải chỉ từ những gì họ nhận được. Điều này cũng gợi ra những tham khảo cho các địa phương khác, trong đó có Thanh Hóa.

"A magyarok többsége németül beszél [...] Nyári és téli színházaik, olvasmányaik, sőt könyvesboltjaik is szinte kizárólag németek" - ez olvasható E. M. Arndt 1798 augusztusában tett magyarországi útjáról szóló jelentésében. Bármennyire kevéssé ismert manapság, a királyság városai akkoriban valóban nagyrészt német nyelvűek voltak, élénk és virágzó német nyelvű kulturális és irodalmi élettel. A német verseket, elbeszéléseket, leveleket, folyóiratokat és drámákat messze földön olvasták. Ma olvasva őket meglepődik az ember, hogy ugyanazzal a magyar hazához való ragaszkodással találkozik bennük, mint a kor ismert magyar műveiben. Csak a nyelv választotta el őket. A németajkú magyarok műveikben - magyar honfitársaiktól nem eltérően - a magyarok dicsőséges történelméről emlékeztek meg, így a honfoglaló Árpádról is, de mindenekelőtt I. István keresztény szelleméről és Mátyás király világra nyitott kultúrájáról. A keresztény felvilágosult nézetek formálták magyar vonatkozású jelen-kritikájukat, és ezeket képviselték a reformkori utópiák mindenkori konstitúciójában éppúgy, mint minden aktuális gazdasági és kulturális jövővárásban. Magyar identitásuknak és német anyanyelvüknek köszönhetően mindig is európai értékeket közvetítettek a két nemzeti kultúra metszéspontjában.

A kötet ugyan (beszéd)hangokról szól, de nem „hangos”, vezetni próbál, de nem „vezér”. Olyan oktatási segédletként írtuk, amely a maga modernitásával és szemléletével áthidalja a régi és új közti űrt, olyan segédkönyvet szerettünk volna írni, amely hatékonyan használható gyakorlati útmutatóként szolgál a nyelvoktatást tanuló hallgatók kezében, egyben rávilágít a hangtan nyelvoktatásban elfoglalt szerepére. Ugyanakkor azt is hangsúlyozzuk, hogy a kötet elméleti anyaga és gyakorlati példái a magyar standard nyelvváltozat adekvát kiejtését követik, annak elsa- játításában nyújtanak segéd kezet. A nyelv ennél bonyolultabb, de reméljük, hogy az írás–beszéd–hallás hármas kötődését, egymásra utaltságát sikerült megfelelően ábrázolnunk.

Published: October 2022

The reflection on the academic status of social work presented in the article is the result of a discussion during a scientific seminar organized on the initiative of the Board of the Social Work Section of the Polish Sociological Association. In June 2022, in the Gułtów Palace and Park Complex, property of the Adama Mickiewicz University in Poznań, during a two-day meeting, academics and experts from all over Poland discussed the current status and challenges that are important for social work in the context of its professionalization and academic potential. As part of the seminar, five debates were held, each consisting of a substantive introduction and discussion. The authors of this report presented their opinions, conclusions, and recommendations. The participants agreed that such discussions should be a cyclical event because they integrate around important issues having consequences not only for the development of social work but also for effectively dealing with critical social problems.
Universities of the Third Age in Warmia and Mazury during the COVID-19 pandemic as local lifelong education centers
Authors: Lisowska Kinga , Łojko Majka
Published: October 2022

In social sciences, especially in educational sciences, it is emphasized that a lifelong education meaning lifelong learning, refers to the acquisition of knowledge throughout a person's life. It is a concept that combines many different formats of learning including both elements of adult education, lifelong learning, self-education as well as the promotion of the ideal of an individual who fully realizes their potential, both personal and professional. One of the forms of implementation of this concept of education are Universities of the Third Age (UTA), which focus primarily on the development and activation of elderly people.
The article focuses on the specificity of continuing education in the functioning of the University of the Warmia and Mazury during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The presented text was prepared based on the analysis of research material collected through semi-directed, problem-focused interviews and foundational databases – primarily at hand, traditional and electronic archives of the UTAs in Warmia and Mazury and digital reports of the Marshal's Office in Olsztyn.
The research presented in this article shows that the changing social and health conditions posed new challenges to the universities and caused the need to revise the existing curricula, forms and ways of transferring knowledge and practical skills. During the pandemic Warmia and Mazury UTAs didn`t cease contact with their students and did not renounce continuing education. The period of isolation contributed to an increase in digital competence of the UTA students and digitization of continuing education.

A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2017-18 and 2018-19 to investigate the effects of different methods of zinc fertilization on growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The experiment was laid-out in a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and 3 replications. Seed priming as well as soil application was effective in improving emergence count of wheat over control. Soil application of zinc sulphate heptahydrate @ 25 kg/ha could improve growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of wheat while nutripriming and foliar application failed to do so. The study suggested that soil application method alone or in combination with other application methods like nutripriming or foliar application can provide yield advantage of 10-15% over no zinc application. Considering the fact that combination of other application methods with soil application could not improve yield over soil application alone significantly, hence; soil application of 25 kg ZnSO4.7H2O alone can be recommended for achieving higher grain yield under irrigated mollisol.

In the 2013 curriculum, the implementation of Indonesian language learning is done on a text-based. One of the texts taught in response text. Indicators of the success of learning response texts include students being able to recognize the purpose and function of response texts. It was found that many students had difficulty in learning. This is caused by the selection of an inappropriate learning model. Therefore, research was conducted to increase the ability to recognize the purpose and function of the response text by using the learning community learning model. The research method used is classroom action research. The subjects of this study were students of class 9G MTsN 1 Tuban. The process of implementing classroom action is through four stages starting from (1) planning, (2) action, (3) observing, and (4) reflecting. The types of instruments used are student observation sheets and teacher observation sheets, group evaluation sheets, test questions, and questionnaires. To test the validity of the data, the researcher used method triangulation and source triangulation techniques. The results of this study indicate that the learning of simple response texts has increased by using the learning community learning model. This can be seen from the average score of students before being given the action was 55.5, after being given the action at the end of the first cycle the average score became 61.80. Furthermore, at the end of the second cycle, the average score obtained was 71.80. While in the third cycle obtained an average score of 80.08. Overall, at the end of the third cycle, all aspects and criteria for recognizing the purpose and function of simple response texts experienced a significant increase
Market Component of Economic Security of Agricultural Sectors

Published: October 2022

Market transformations modify the development of the agricultural sector and the possibility of uninterrupted operation in a market environment. At the same time, the subjects of the agricultural sector are subject to the potential destructive impact of risks that may threaten the profitability, solvency and have negative consequences for consumers of agricultural products. Under such conditions, strengthening the economic security of the agricultural sector is the basic principle of economic development. However, in the context of market transformations, there is a need to deepen research to assess the market component of economic security, as the latter is designed to protect against market errors, shortcomings in product and sales policy, as well as incorrect choice of pricing strategy. The research used methods: monographic, logical modeling, calculation-constructive, graphic, dynamic analysis, etc. The purpose of the article is to study the level of the market component of economic security of the agricultural sector and identify areas for ensuring its optimal level. An analysis of indicators and factors influencing the market component of the economic security of subjects of the agrarian sector was carried out. It was established that the level of the market component of economic security of subjects of the agrarian sector of the national economy and subjects of the agrarian sector of the Mykolaiv region during 2016-2020 was low. It is proven that increasing the level of the market component requires the subjects of the agrarian sector to develop and implement directions for improving the mechanism of managing the market component of economic security. An assessment of the level of the market component of the economic security of the subjects of the agricultural sector was carried out using the PESTEL-analysis based on expert assessments, and it was established that in the block of threats, the greatest number of points are economic (unstable exchange rate, difficulty of entering the market, “tinization” of the economy) and legal (insufficient legal justification of the market component of economic security) factors. Such threats are successfully leveled, as the change in the characteristics of doing business, the introduction of initiatives to stimulate access to markets, as well as the development of the legal framework for the market component of economic security will contribute to the transformation of threats into opportunities for growth
Impact of Cereal Rye Seeding Rate and Planting Method on Weed Control in Cotton
Authors: Palhano Matheus , Norsworthy Jason , Barber Tom
Published: October 2022

Costs related to herbicide use have increased greatly due to evolution and proliferation of glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S.). The use of cover crops in conservation tillage offers advantages such as weed suppression through physical and allelopathic effects. A field study was initiated in fall 2013 and 2014 in Fayetteville, AR to determine the impact of cereal rye (Secale cereal L.) seeding rate and planting method on weed control and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yield. Cereal rye seeding rates were 56, 112, and 168 kg ha-1 in absence or presence of a herbicide program. Planting methods consisted of drilled and broadcast. No differences were observed between planting methods in any parameter evaluated. In both years, cereal rye biomass production increased as seeding rate increased. When herbicides were not applied, cereal rye at 56 kg ha-1 provided the least weed control. Cereal rye at 112 and 168 kg ha-1 provided comparable levels of Palmer amaranth control. At 8 wk after cotton planting, all plots treated with a commonly used herbicide program had 99% or greater grass control, regardless of the seeding rate. Yields from plots with a standard herbicide program were greater than from plots without herbicide. Yield improvement was observed due to use of cereal cover crop compared to no cover crop in 2014, whereas no differences were observed in 2015.
Effect of Instrumental Leaf Grade On HVI Micronaire Measurement In Commercial Cotton Bales
Authors: Liu Youngliang , Delhom Christopher D.
Published: October 2022

The high volume instrument (HVITM) instrumental leaf grade index has been accepted in both domestic and international cotton fiber trading. There is interest in how trash content in cotton samples impact the HVI measurements. In this investigation, HVI micronaire attribute was measured on commercial cotton bales representing instrumental leaf grade categories one to six, pre- and post- Shirley Analyzer (SA) cleaning process. The SA system was used since it is a traditional gravimetric cotton trash reference method, and also plays a role as a small-scale cotton trash cleaner. This study first examined the variations of five repeated HVI micronaire measurements within one pre-SA or post-SA cleaned cotton, and it revealed an insignificant effect of trash presence in high instrumental leaf grade cottons on HVI micronaire measurement repeatability. A comparison of HVI micronaire between pre-SA and post-SA cleaned cottons indicated a good agreement, suggesting minimal effect of cotton trash presence in commercial cottons on their HVI micronaire determination. Meanwhile, higher instrumental leaf grade cottons were observed to show lower micronaire values.
COTTON GINNERS HANDBOOK: Cotton Gin Pneumatic Conveying Systems

Cotton gins use air to move seed cotton, lint, cottonseed, and trash through conveying pipes. In gins, pneumatic conveying systems are the principal means of moving material from one processing stage to another throughout the entire ginning plant. Further, material drying or moisture restoration can be accomplished by heating or humidifying the conveying air. Pneumatic systems are a critical and fundamental component of cotton ginning. Cotton gins use large quantities of air for pneumatic conveying. It is common for a gin to use 4,248 m3 (150,000 ft3) or more of air per minute in its various material conveying systems. Because the density of dry standard air is approximately 1.2 kg/m3 (0.075 lb/ft3), a typical gin using 4,248 m3/min (150,000 ft3/min) of air moves 305,860 kg (675,000 lb) of air per hour. This mass of air per hour is approximately 1.5 times the total mass of material handled per hour. Typically, more than 60 to 65% of the total electrical power consumed by a cotton gin is attributed to moving material pneumatically. Properly taking air measurements, determining air flow requirements, sizing conveying pipes, sizing fans to generate required air flow rates, and accounting for specific machinery air requirements are essential to maximizing machine utilization, minimizing energy costs, and decreasing system downtime. This update of the Cotton Ginners Handbook provides current technical information on cotton gin pneumatic systems. It draws heavily on previous versions of the Cotton Ginners Handbook (Stedronsky 1964; McCaskill et al., 1977; Baker et al., 1994) and the knowledge and experience of current and past instructors of the Air Systems classes from the National Cotton Ginners’ Association Gin Schools.
