In the course of Tantra found traces of learning from very ancient times. Of course the journey is accompanied by success and failure. This dynamic process has made Tantra still have loyal adherents to this day. Apart from showing maturity, the Tantric method also displays natural honesty. Every human being needs a natural way of learning. Because education that is too artificial seems to lead individuals to dehumanization. In forming a complete human being, the most primary education is needed. This study aims to describe the advantages of Tantric educational values ​​which are often misinterpreted. The method used in this research is a qualitative method that uses literature as a basis for descriptions and narratives to get meaning. The results of the study, primary education in Tantra seeks to achieve holisticity, serve gender determinism, anticipate future chaos, and interpret masculine and feminism aspects as strengths. The conclusion of this study is that the scope of Tantric education is much wider than the scope of modern education which only includes the family education.

Authors: Raj Lavanya , McManus Pam
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of Cigna’s site-of-care home-redirection program on pegfilgrastim effectiveness and timing of administration in preventing complications from chemotherapy-induced neutro­penia among Cigna’s commercially managed patients receiving myelosuppres­sive chemotherapy. Commercial medical claims data from Cigna were used for the study. The sample consisted of 13,493 patients receiving chemotherapy be­tween September 1, 2020, and August 31, 2022. Descriptive and chi-square sta­tistics and logistic regression were conducted to estimate the magnitude and di­rection of associations between pegfilgrastim home redirection and outcomes, such as pegfilgrastim effectiveness and timing of administration. Logistic re­gression analyses revealed that the incidence of neutropenia, fever, pneumo­nia, and sepsis was 32% less likely in patients that underwent home redirection vs those who did not. Similarly, the odds of same-day pegfilgrastim administra­tion were 43% lower in patients that underwent home redirection. This retro­spective, real-world claims study presents significant evidence supporting fa­vorable clinical outcomes associated with Cigna’s site-of-care home-redirection program for pegfilgrastim.

Published: June 2023

Science and art have been connected for centuries. With the development of new computational methods, new scientific disciplines have emerged, such as computational chemistry, and related fields, such as chemoinformatics that use informatic methods to solve chemical problems focusing on small molecules. Chemoinformatics is grounded on the chemical space concept: a multi-descriptor space in which chemical structures are described. In several practical applications, visual representations of the chemical space of compound datasets are low-dimensional plots useful for identifying patterns. However, the authors propose that the plots can also be used as artistic expressions. This manuscript introduces an approach to merging art with chemoinformatics through visual and artistic representations of chemical space. As case studies, we portray the chemical space of food chemicals and other chemicals to generate visually appealing graphs with twofold benefits: sharing chemical knowledge and developing pieces of art driven by chemoinformatics. The art driven by chemical space visualization will help increase the application of chemistry and art and contribute to general education and dissemination of chemoinformatics and chemistry through artistic expressions.

Existing mass spectrometric assays used for sensitive and specific measurements of target proteins across multiple samples, such as selected/multiple reaction monitoring (SRM/MRM) or parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), are peptide-based methods for bottom-up proteomics. Here, we describe an approach based on the principle of PRM for the measurement of intact proteoforms by targeted top-down proteomics termed Proteoform Reaction Monitoring (PfRM). We explore the ability of our method to circumvent traditional limitations of top-down proteomics such as sensitivity and reproducibility. We also introduce a new software, Proteoform Finder, specifically designed for easy analysis of PfRM data. PfRM was initially benchmarked by quantifying three standard proteins. Linearity of the assay was shown over almost three orders of magnitude in the femtomole range. We later applied our multiplexed PfRM assay to complex samples to quantify biomarker candidates in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from liver transplanted patients, demonstrating its possible translational applications. These results demonstrate that PfRM has the potential to contribute to the accurate quantification of protein biomarkers for diagnostic purposes and to improve understanding of disease etiology at the proteoform level.

Authors: Lui Nathan Mancheun , Li Max D , Ford Matthew
Published: June 2023

Deep generative models for molecular graphs offer a new avenue for property optimization in drug discovery. Optimizing differentiable models that generate molecular graphs is certainly faster, cheaper, and much more accessible than traditional methods of chemical synthesis. Recent advances in generative modeling have managed to address many of the challenges surrounding generation of chemically-valid molecular graphs from latent representations, however the question of generating high-quality molecules remains. Herein we introduce MoFlowGAN a tandem normalizing flow model that can also be trained on both adversarial and reward objectives. We train our model on QM9 to generate high-quality and drug-like compounds. Our experiments show that MoFlowGAN is competitive with current state-of-the-art generative models while requiring far fewer training resources.
A simple, efficient and universal energy decomposition analysis method based on dispersion-corrected density functional theory
Authors: Lu Tian , Chen Qinxue
Published: June 2023

Energy decomposition analysis (EDA) is an important method to explore the nature of interaction between fragments in a chemical system. It can decompose the interaction energy into different physical components to understand the factors that play key roles in the interaction. This work proposes an energy decomposition analysis strategy based on dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT), called sobEDA. This method is fairly easy to implement and very universal. It can be used to study weak interactions, chemical bond interactions, open-shell systems, and interactions between multiple fragments. The total time consumption of sobEDA is only about twice that of conventional DFT calculation for the entire system. This work also proposes a variant of the sobEDA method named sobEDAw, which is designed specifically for decomposing weak interaction energies. Through a proper combination of DFT correlation energy and dispersion correction term, sobEDAw gives a ratio between dispersion energy and electrostatic energy that is highly consistent with the symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT), which is quite popular and robust in studying weak interactions but expensive. We present a shell script sobEDA.sh to implement the methods proposed in this work based on the very popular Gaussian quantum chemistry program and Multiwfn wavefunction analysis code. Via the script, theoretical chemists can use the sobEDA and sobEDAw methods very conveniently in their study. Through a series of examples, the rationality of the new methods and their implementation are verified, and their great practical values in the study of various chemical systems are demonstrated.

Published: June 2023

Lighting modeling software packages often include a tool for processing and investigation of two-dimensional images that are the results of modeling. Functionality of these tools is usually minimal one and often consists of mapping of resultant images into monitor screen only. There are general image viewers and image processing programs. But in practice they either do not contain required functionality, or are so superfluous that result postprocessing becomes inconvenient with them. Therefore we had to implement own viewer that processes high dynamic range images generated by the lighting simulation and realistic computer graphics system as well as visualizes supplementary simulation information needed for engineer analysis. Lighting simulation module transfers to our viewer the generated image in physical values together with supplementary data. These data has per pixel nature and form additional layers of images. Our image processing module provides brightness high dynamic range compression for rendering of images generated with lighting modeling methods including stochastic ones, analysis of the image generation algorithms using additional data layers, applying additional visual effects for improving images appearance, and export of processed images to commonly used formats.

Published: June 2023

Medical records play a crucial role in delivering high-quality healthcare by facilitating accurate diagnosis, treatment, and patient monitoring. However, manual, paper-based record-keeping systems present various challenges, including storage burden and retrieval difficulties. Although electronic medical records (EMRs) have gained popularity, they are not risk-free, such as data manipulation. Inadequate medical records administration contributes to inefficiencies in the healthcare system, increased costs, incorrect diagnoses, and compromised patient care. This literature review investigates the potential of blockchain technology in enhancing medical record management and improving the quality, efficiency, and limitations associated with traditional manual methods. Specifically, the study explores the benefits of utilizing blockchain in medical records management. The findings suggest that blockchain technology can enhance the security, interoperability, and accessibility of medical records thereby mitigating concerns related to data manipulation while providing a more cost-effective and efficient solution for medical records management.

Published: June 2023

Knowledge management and information systems have garnered increased attention for their potential to enhance venture performance. However, there is limited research on the specific competences of information systems based on knowledge management within the context of micro and small businesses. This study aims to fill this gap by examining small businesses in the entrepreneurship field to determine whether they recognize the importance of these competences. The research focuses on a sample of 70 small businesses operating in lower-middle-income economies and employs a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) methodology. The findings reveal that smaller businesses acknowledge the significance of information systems competences in facilitating their organizational development and that these ventures are increasingly exposed to the value of knowledge management in their day-to-day operations. This study contributes to the existing literature by shedding light on the role of smaller businesses in lower-middle-income economies.

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea [L.] Verdc.) is a valuable but underutilised legume crop grown in sub-Saharan Africa. The objective of this study was to evaluate the yield and yield components of eight Bambara groundnut accessions obtained from the National Root Crops Research Institute in Umudike, Nigeria.  The experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research farm of the University of Uyo, Uyo Southern Nigeria during the 2021 cropping seasons, using a randomised complete block design with three replications. Growth, yield and nutritional parameters were collected and subjected to analysis of variance, correlation and principal component analysis. Plant height, number of leaves, and leaf area were all significantly different (P≤0.05) among the accessions three months after planting. Number of pods per plant, seed weight, and 100-seed weight differed significantly (P≤0.05). Caly PSC (2853 kg/ha), Caly SK 46 (2803 kg/ha), Zeina (2538 kg/ha), and BNT (2488 kg/ha) were the top yielders among the accessions. Yields of Bambara groundnut differ significantly (P≤0.05) between accessions studied, ranging from 1624.67 kg/ha to 2853.33 kg/ha. Principal component (PC) analysis identified eight influential components, two of which, PC1 and PC3, contributed 27% and 17% of the total variation, respectively. In this study, the correlation analysis revealed that plant height and petiole length, plant height and number of seeds per plot were all negatively correlated. The leaf area and the number of pods per plot, the number of seeds per pod and the fibre content, the leaf area and seed weight, and the plant height and seed weight were all noted positively correlated. The nutritive value of the eight Bambara groundnut accessions varied significantly (P≤0.05). The mean protein levels of eight Bambara nut accessions studied ranged from 18.82 to 20.39%. Findings from this study clearly indicate that Bambara groundnut is suitable for production in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Thus, high yielding accessions identified in this study are recommended for increased production in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria.

To investigate the performance of aromatic rice (cv. BRRI dhan34) in response to seedling age and nutrient management, an experiment was carried out at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka from July to December 2021. The experiment includes three different ages of seedlings to be transplanted viz., 30, 45 and 60 days old and six nutrient management practice viz. control (no manures and fertilizers), recommended dose of inorganic fertilizers (RDF), 50% of RDF + cow dung @ 5 t ha-1, 75% of RDF + cow dung @ 5 t ha-1, 50% of RDF + poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1 and, 75% of RDF + poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results revealed that in the case of transplanting of different aged seedlings, the highest leaf area index (5.74), dry matter hill-1 (32.86 g), number of tillers hill-1 (13.17), number of effective tillers hill-1 (11.53), plant height (113.34 cm), total grains panicle-1 (135.14), 1000-grain weight (12.45 g), grain yield (3.29 t ha-1), straw yield (4.01 t ha-1), biological yield (7.30 t ha-1) and were recorded from transplanting 30 days old seedlings. Different levels of nutrient management showed a significant impact on most of the parameters under study. The highest total dry matter hill-1 (34.02 g), the maximum LAI (5.35), plant height (115.70 cm), chlorophyll content (42.87), number of effective tillers hill-1 (12.99), panicle length (24.63 cm), total grains panicle-1 (140.17), 1000-grain weight (12.54 g), grain yield (3.27 t ha-1), straw yield (4.15 t ha-1), biological yield (7.42 t ha-1) and harvest index (43.03%)  were also recorded in F5 (75% of RDF + poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1) treatment. While considering the interaction effects between the age of seedlings and nutrient management, transplanting 30 days old seedlings along with the nutrient management of 75% of RDF + poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1 treatment improved yield contributing parameters and provided the highest yield (3.76 t ha-1) of BRRI dhan34 compared to other treatment combination. So, the application of 75% of RDF + poultry manure @ 2.5 t ha-1 along with 30 days old seedlings appeared as a promising practice to obtain better performance of fine aromatic rice (cv. BRRI dhan34).

Published: June 2023

This experiment was conducted for the development of induced breeding techniques of Aspidoparia jaya using the pituitary gland (PG) extract at the Floodplain Sub-station, BFRI, Santahar, Bogura, Bangladesh. Three breeding trials were conducted in May, June and July, 2021 where in May, none of the fish was ovulated. But breeding response was observed in June and July when we applied 8 mg (T1), 10 mg (T2) and 12 mg (T3) PG/kg body weight of female, and 5 mg (T1), 6 mg (T2) and 7 mg (T3) PG/kg body weight of male fish. Among all the treatments, significantly (P<0.05) highest breeding performance in terms of ovulation rate (78.87±1.71%), fertilization rate (79.39±1.40%) and hatching rate (86.98±1.20%) were observed in T3 treatment in the month of July when injected with single dose of 12 mg and 7 mg PG/ kg body weight of female and male, respectively. Significantly (P<0.05) higher values of mean gonado-somatic index were observed during June, July, August, December and January for females where July (10.15±1.50%) and January (9.55±1.30%) showed the highest peaks which indicated that they might be spawn twice in a year (from May to August and from December to January). The results from the present experiment reveals that induced breeding of Aspidoparia jaya, using PG extract is successful which might be helpful for the large-scale seed production of this species for the aquaculture as well as to conserve the species from being extinct from the biodiversity.

The aim of this field experiment conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, was to investigate the impact of different seed priming techniques and sowing dates on the yield and quality of wheat. The study aimed to identify the most effective seed priming technique and optimal sowing date to enhance wheat productivity and minimize yield reduction. The experiment employed a split plot design with two factors: seed priming techniques (no priming, hydropriming with distilled water, osmopriming with PEG, and halopriming with CaCl2) and sowing dates (November 20, December 05, and December 20). The trial was conducted from November 2019 to April 2020 at the research field. The study consisted of three replications for each treatment combination. Osmopriming exhibited the most favorable results among all priming techniques, showing significantly higher values for effective tillers hill-1 (3.91), number of grains spike-1 (43.82), number of spikelets spike-1 (16.16), grain yield (3.87 tons hectare-1), biological yield (6.02 t ha-1), and harvest index (39.03%). No priming condition resulted in the highest protein content (12.11%), while osmopriming had the lowest protein content (11.77%). The sowing conducted on November 20 yielded the highest number of effective tillers hill-1 (3.57), number of grains spike-1 (42.49), number of spikelets spike-1 (15.75), grain yield (3.71 t ha-1), biological yield (9.70 t ha-1), and lowest protein content (11.74%). Sowing on December 20 resulted in the highest protein content (12.20%). Based on the study's findings, it can be concluded that the osmopriming technique, combined with sowing on November 20, offers the most promising approach to mitigate the yield reduction of wheat. This combination demonstrated the highest grain yield (4.23 t ha-1) compared to other treatments. Therefore, farmers and agricultural practitioners are recommended to adopt the osmopriming technique with a sowing date of November 20 for optimizing wheat production and enhancing overall crop quality.

Published: June 2023

There is a difference of 45% to 55% between the attainable yield and the potential yield of rice. This gap may be due to insufficient inputs and poor mechanization status. In this regard, agricultural mechanization is of the utmost importance to obtain satisfactory yield. This study was conducted to determine mechanization level, power per unit area, probit regression, and challenges faced by farmers to understand the mechanization status in rice cultivation. For this, 98 households in the Pyuthan municipality of Pyuthan district and 87 households in the Bhimdutta municipality of Kanchanpur district were selected using a simple random sampling method. The highest mechanization level was found in the main field tillage (90.92%), followed by threshing (85.24%), the seedbed tillage (52.42%), and irrigation (20.10%). Mechanization is lacking in transplantation, bund preparation, fertilizer application, weeding, and harvesting. Power per unit area was found to be 4.67 hp/ha. Age and family size have a negative impact while male household heads have a positive impact on mechanized tillage and threshing, both statistically significant at a 5% level. The unavailability of farm machinery and land fragmentation were the major challenges in the adoption of farm mechanization. The mechanization status in the study areas is not satisfactory, thus, the strict policy against land fragmentation, dissemination of extension services at the grass root level, and the provision of subsidies for required farm machinery could help the improvement of mechanization status in rice production in Nepal.
Alternative fertilization approaches in enhancing crop productivity and nutrient use efficiency: A review
Authors: Yokamo Solomon , Milinga Amani Stephen , Suefo Buana
Published: June 2023

The greatest challenge of our time is to meet the global food demand by producing enough food without harming the environment. Over application and misuse of synthetic fertilizer is a major challenge that results in lower fertilizer use efficiency (FUE), stagnated crop yield, and environmental pollution. In this review study, three alternative fertilization options (AFOs), such as the use of organic fertilizer enhanced-efficiency fertilizer (EEFs), and secondary, and micronutrient fertilizers were evaluated. The adoption of appropriate fertilization practices was believed to improve crop yield and FUE over the conventional fertilization approach. As of late, the use of organic fertilizers has received more attention as a better alternative to counter the challenges posed by the inappropriate use of chemical fertilizers. The formulation of slow or controlled-release fertilizers contributes to preventing nutrient losses by slowing down nutrient release patterns in the soil and allowing better synchrony between crop nutrients requirement and nutrient supply. The use of secondary macronutrients and micronutrient also has considerable importance to improve nutrient uptake, grain yield, and quality. In summary, the review result showed that the adoption of AFOs can enhance crop yield and nutrient use efficiency.

Published: June 2023

Protected cultivation infers the cultivation under guarded conditions or we can say simply, cultivation under a modified atmosphere or man-made micro-climatic conditions such as alteration in the CO2 concentration also use of different temperature levels on specific protected structures such as hoop houses, cold houses, shade houses, hot frames or hotbeds, hot-bed manures as well as high tunnels which are less costly as well and can be easily afforded by Nepalese farmers. Horticultural crops rely heavily on specific environmental conditions i.e., temperature, soil moisture, sunlight, and soil fertility. However, with climate change, weather patterns worldwide are shifting, significantly impacting horticultural crops directly and indirectly in the mid-hills as well as high-hills of Nepal. The people of the mountainous region are getting malnutrition due to the scarcity of food. By adapting the different climate-smart practices we can increase the productivity of the seasonal crop as well as the availability of off-season crops throughout the year which not only improves the malnutrition status of Nepalese people but also helps the country to lower the vulnerability towards climate change. This review highlights the common protected practices used in Nepal and their need in the future.

Authors: Danilina Yulia V.
Published: June 2023

This article is devoted to “Declaration of Independents” written by Alexander Payne and published in April 2004. It presents the separate fragments of the essay, translated into Russian for the first time. Some principle features are highlighted, that distinguish, as Payne insists, an independent movie. There implementations are traced in director’s works from 2002 till 2017. Main attention is focused on screenwriting, editing and visual environment of this works. Director’s decision to make simple stories about disenfranchised man becomes a “political act” that opposes his art to studio movies and harsh reality.

Published: June 2023

Under the influence of constantly emerging new information technologies in several years there have occurred significant changes in both business and government organizations, not only large, but also in very small. Today, the prospects for the emergence of new organizational models are being thoroughly investigated, on the basis of which possible scenarios and areas of digital transformation of organizations are predicted. Research shows that special attention is paid to the formation of personal digital profiles of organizations, the search for the best digital models, and the study of the impact of digital technologies on personnel during the digital evolution of labor markets. Best practices show that every successful organization in the course of digital transformation determines the need to develop a personnel development strategy based on the goals and objectives, the degree of depth and timing of digital transformation. At the same time, during the formation and effective implementation of the digital strategy in the management of human resources of the organization, factors of professional readiness of personnel and cultural and psychological barriers to the introduction of digitalization of labor, hierarchical assessment of market and socio-economic benefits of digital transformation, etc. are not the least important. The study showed that if remote forms of employment, which were widely used during the spread of coronavirus infection, began to decline since the end of last year, then the trend towards digitalization of training of personnel of organizations after the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia not only persists, but also develops. The article analyzes the successful experience of implementing digital training for employees of the highest state audit body of Russia – the Accounting Chamber of the Russian Federation, which can be borrowed by other government and business organizations in order to make staff more efficient.

Today, the problem of bullying at school worries the entire Russian public. A school that should be a safe and comfortable environment for the development and socialization of a person turns into a psychologically and physically dangerous environment, which is unacceptable a priori. So the presence of bullying in the school environment is a fact that no one denies, then in order to resolve the issue of combating this negative phenomenon, its prevention it is necessary to identify at what age/class the first signs of the bullying situation are present, boys or girls are more often victims, etc. In the article, based on the experimental data obtained, it was determined that both boys, studying schools and girls are harassed. Bullying, as respondents note, is observed among students in grades 7, the severity of its manifestation is somewhat different among boys and girls, but bullying and pressure are present in representatives of both sexes. It should be noted that this phenomenon is not so characteristic of rural schools, and is quite pronounced in urban schools. The study was attended by schoolchildren of the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea. Moreover, more girls consider themselves victims. According to the data obtained, grades 8 and 9 are the most problematic, here the highest bullying rates. The results show that schools do not carry out sufficiently effective preventive work to combat this phenomenon. Solving this problem requires an integrated approach taking into account the territorial, national, cultural characteristics of the regions, since each region is specific and effective measures for one region may not be effective for another.

Digital modeling is being introduced into design, management, and research. With the help of a digital model, various scenarios of the object's existence can be played out. Rational technical solutions can be found and tested. In order to determine the optimal parameters of the object, a module for the economic evaluation of technical solutions should be created as part of the digital model. For an power plant facility, three levels of objects of the studied solutions are distinguished: design solutions of the power plant as a whole; system solutions of individual technological systems, buildings and structures; partial technical solutions of individual elements of equipment and structures. At each level, economic methods differ. Various formulations of economic calculations are proposed

The program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation", approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, is being actively implemented in the building construction industry, mainly at the stages of engineering surveys and architectural and construction design. Building information modeling (BIM) technologies are used by most foreign and domestic CAD system vendors. At the other stages of the building's life cycle, digitalization has not been widely distributed, despite the fact that the operation stage is the longest and the trouble-free existence of building structures at this stage is the key to the economic and social efficiency of building ownership. Flat rolled roofs in our country are the most common type of roofs and at the same time the most susceptible to defect formation structural element of a building. The standard operation period of such roofs is 10 years, despite the fact that the actual period of trouble-free operation of flat rolled roofs rarely exceeds 7 years. The assessment of the technical condition of the roofs is carried out by a construction and technical expertise, performed, as a rule, after the occurrence of leaks. Assessment of the degree of damage, as well as the prevalence of defects, is carried out by an expert visually, often without the use of measuring equipment. Due to the fact that the assessment of damage by an expert is purely subjective, it is impossible to correctly assess the development of the defect over time. The proposed technology of automation of construction and technical expertise of flat rolled roofs of a building allows timely detection of defects, assess the degree of their danger and make forecasts of their development over time. This approach allows you to make a timely decision on the need to carry out current repairs or to plan their implementation in the future. This will increase the service life of a flat rolled roof without increasing the cost of the life cycle.
