Published: July 2023

Being a staple food for human and animal nutrition, the cultivation of wheat needs the integration of new technologies, agronomic practices, and products to maximize profitability and achieve higher-quality kernel production. This study aimed to investigate the effects of two plant elicitors, Acibenzolar-S-Methyl and Carrageenan, in conditioning wheat plants to enhance the activity of both primary and specialized metabolisms. The objective was to attain qualitative and quantitative improvements in crop yield. The research was conducted during the 2021 harvest season in Chapecó-SC, employing a randomized complete block design with eight treatments and four replications. The TBio Noble cultivar was used for the experiment. The variables analyzed included physiological, morphological, biochemical, and phytosanitary aspects, along with yield components, qualitative parameters (including the presence of pathogens and mycotoxins in the kernels), and seed quality assessments. The application of the elicitors resulted in larger plant size, reduced the severity of powdery mildew, and seeds exhibited increased vigor. However, it is important to note that the experimental design, the meteorological conditions, and the number of treatments employed might have significantly influenced the obtained results. Based on the findings, the tested elicitors can be recommended as additives to fungicides to enhance disease control and contribute to greater crop gains.

Goals, Services, and Target Patient Populations of Community Paramedicine in Rural United States
Authors: McAuslan Chelsea , Roll John , McAuslan Mitchell
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Rural areas contain one-fifth of the US population and only 10% of the nation’s physicians. Community paramedicine (CP) is a growing healthcare delivery model in which emergency medical personnel provide non-emergent medical care. Community paramedics may help fill the primary healthcare gap for rural residents. This literature review provides an overview of the common goals, services, target populations, and setbacks of rural CP programs in the US.

Methods: A systematic search following PRISMA protocols was completed on PubMed and Google scholar using the search terms: “community paramedicine/paramedic” and “rural, remote, frontier” between 2000-2021.

Results: Rural CP program goals are to aid patients in chronic disease management and reduce emergency department visits, hospital admissions/readmissions, and healthcare costs. Programs target services toward patients who are chronically ill, post-hospital discharge, and frequent EMS users.

Conclusion: CP provision of preventative and primary care services has improved health outcomes for patients with chronic disease. Programs report cost savings for the healthcare payer and patient and a reduction in ED transports and hospital readmissions. The problems identified are acquiring sustainable funding to develop CP programs and reimburse CP services, lack of consistency between CP scope of practice and educational requirements across states, role tensions with other healthcare professions, and lack of research about the safety of CP programs for patients. Future research is needed to investigate patient outcomes secondary to CP preventative and primary care services, which may identify if CPs are an effective means of helping fill the primary care gap for rural communities.

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar o panorama histórico – contábil das fontes de recursos, também conhecidas como vinculações orçamentárias no Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, de revisão bibliográfica, narrativa. Os resultados apontam o princípio da não afetação prima pelo conceito de que uma receita não deve ser influenciada por sua despesa. E uma vez criada a vinculação de receitas, esta pode, a depender do momento político, social ou econômico, eliminar a vinculação, porém há fatores que mantém as vinculações, destacando-se a premissa que as vinculações podem trazer um maior controle dos gastos públicos. Contudo há os que entendem que elas trazem um maior engessamento dos recursos públicos, o que corrobora, na presente pesquisa, a relevância de apresentar mais dados para ambos os lados. Neste cenário até o exercício de 2022 cada Tribunal de Contas criava uma codificação de fontes o que impossibilitava uma avaliação plena de todos os recursos na nação, fato que foi alterado em decorrência da decretação de pandemia, criando-se uma padronização a ser adotada por União, Estados, Distrito Federal e Munícipios a partir do exercício de 2023.

Published: July 2023

Background and objective:

Addiction to social networking sites (SNSs) is their unhealthy use that interferes with daily functionality and results in unwanted outcomes. This study investigates the prevalence and intensity as well as the impact of SNSs addiction on the daily routine among young undergraduate students. In addition, it evaluates the relationship between psychological suffering and SNSs addiction.

Methods:

A cross sectional study was conducted among undergraduate students of Karachi, Pakistan from January to June 2022. Data was collected using non-probability convenience sampling technique. A self-administered questionnaire was used, compiled from two validated questionnaires, Young’s internet addiction (YIA) test and Depression-Anxiety-Stress scale (DASS 21). The SPSS software version 25.0 was used to analyze the collected data. In the 95% confidence interval, statistical analysis was set at a p-value of 0.05 as the threshold for statistical significance.

Results: Total 40.7% undergraduate students were found to have no internet addiction, followed by 34.3% mildly, 21.0% moderately and only 4% students severely addicted. Around 28% young undergraduate students were suffering from extremely severe depression (DASS score 28+) followed by 24.0% with moderate (DASS score 14-20), 14.0 % with severe (DASS score 21-27) and 13.7 % with mild depression (DASS score 10-13), while 20.3 % were found not depressed (DASS score 0-9). Mean age of 21 years was found to be consistent for having internet addiction and depression both. Cross study of internet addiction shows highly suggestive behavior with depression (p < 0.01).

Conclusion:

Social networking sites addiction is found to be a major contributing factor for depression in young undergraduate students. Out of all the aspects of life, education is found to be the most severely affected domain of life among students with SNS addiction.

Application of Multiphase CT Angiography in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Authors: Mansoor Salman
Published: July 2023

This article explores the use of multiphase CT angiography (CTA) as a valuable tool in acute stroke management. Unlike traditional imaging methods, multiphase CTA provides a more comprehensive view of the neurovascular system and can detect occlusions and aid in treatment decision-making. Recent studies have shown that multiphase CTA has high accuracy in identifying patients who are suitable for endovascular treatment. Furthermore, it has also been used to visualize intracranial aneurysms and track the development of collateral circulation during and after treatment. Despite concerns regarding radiation exposure and image interpretation, multiphase CTA remains an essential imaging modality in the management of acute stroke patients.
Tapping into the Present Political Translation and Editing in China: Problems and Pathways as Reported by Multi-players
Authors: Wang Junchao
Published: July 2023

This study explores the recent history of political translation in China by analyzing the data reported by different players – the translators, foreign (language) experts and editors from China International Publishing Group and Foreign Languages Press – involved in the National Political Discourse Translation projects as represented by the translation and editing of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China. They provide retrospective think-aloud data of the recent (political) translation history. By mining the data quantitatively and qualitatively, we gain access to the translation idea of the players, and it shows that actors of different identities and backgrounds play different roles. These players identify different issues in the translating and editing process and offer their solutions through varied pathways. Specifically, the translator-in-chief oversees the communicative effects of the core political ideas and ideology, and advocates the principle of “Chinese-primary Foreign Expert-secondary Cooperation”; the foreign expert, seeing himself as a guest, deals with the issues of cultural differences and the story-telling of Chinese thoughts, and puts forward the “Double-track Communication” pathway; the editor, positioning herself as the gatekeeper and quality-checker, stresses language accuracy and punctuation formats at a micro level and practices the “Three-editing & Three-proofreading” principle. The findings underline the power imbalance in translaboration that needs to be addressed in political translation projects. This study provides a practice-based perspective for the political translation projects of the day, and it also has implications for recent translation history research.

Published: July 2023

Learning strategies cannot be separated from language learning programs. This study aimed to reveal language learning strategies (LLSs) used by Indonesian students enrolled in an international management and accounting program (ICMAP) class. It is a case study of ICMAP 23 learners and five EAP lecturers with extensive EAP backgrounds. Data were gathered through questionnaires and interviews. The findings showed that the participants had various LLSs, and several strategies varied according to individual learning styles and learning needs. All the ICMAP students in this study, except for student six, had more than one strategy, but every learner in the sample chose strategies that could be different from other students. They tend to use direct and indirect strategies in their learning, with compensation strategies being the most commonly used. In addition, they employed cognitive, metacognitive, social, and memory strategies, respectively. The significance of employing diverse learning strategies was strongly emphasized by lecturers who were interviewed and recommended many strategies to address language learning challenges. The findings inspire researchers in the SLA field, particularly regarding second language learners’ strategies.

High-resolution connected vehicle (CV) trajectory and event data has recently become commercially available. With over 500 billion vehicle position records generated each month in the United States, these data sets provide unique opportunities to build on and expand previous advances on traffic signal performance measures and safety evaluation. This report is a synthesis of research focused on the development of CV-based performance measures. A discussion is provided on data requirements, such as acquisition, storage, and access. Subsequently, techniques to reference vehicle trajectories to relevant roadways and movements are presented. This allows for performance analyses that can range from the movement- to the system-level. A comprehensive suite of methodologies to evaluate signal performance using vehicle trajectories is then provided. Finally, uses of CV hard-braking and hard-acceleration event data to assess safety and driver behavior are discussed. To evaluate scalability and test the proposed techniques, performance measures for over 4,700 traffic signals were estimated using more than 910 million vehicle trajectories and 14 billion GPS points in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. The contents of this report will help the industry transition towards a hybrid blend of detector- and CV-based signal performance measures with rigorously defined performance measures that have been peer-reviewed by both academics and industry leaders.

Published: July 2023

Electrical energy use at an agency that results in waste is a severe concern. One of them is in the toilet, which is often a waste of energy due to the lights being on while the toilet is not in use. As a result, energy waste is proportionate to an agency's monthly operating expenses. If waste can be eliminated, additional expenses will also be lowered. This study provides an algorithm that begins with the user pressing the push button to turn on the light and ends with the activated motion sensor. When a user enters the toilet and motion is detected, the toilet light remains on automatically. If, however, the user is not on the toilet after hitting the push button, the toilet light will automatically switch off after 60 seconds. Similarly, if the user exits the toilet, the toilet light will switch off automatically after roughly 60 seconds. The findings of a test conducted in a toilet for around two weeks using a motion sensor whose algorithm was optimized revealed a 7.08 per cent reduction in electric power usage after utilizing the equipment. Then, the device's test results indicate that the motion sensor detection is 100 per cent successful.

Authors: V. THULASI BAI  , D. SEVA NAYAK  , A.V. AMRUTHA*
Published: July 2023

Fusarium wilt is a serious disease in tomatoes leading to yield loss. In the study liquid formulations of two endophytic bacteria viz., Pseudomonas aeruginosa KM236234 (FR3) and Bacillus sp. KC817016 (FR19) were used for evaluating disease control potential and plant growth promotion (PGP) of tomato crops. Cell-free supernatants of both FR3 and FR19 could reduce the radial growth of Fusarium oxysporum (MTCC10270). FR3 and FR19 could also able solubilize phosphate and produce IAA at 28 °C and 37 °C. In this study, investigation was done on the effect of two plant growth-promoting (PGP) endophytic bacteria viz., Pseudomonas aeruginosa-FR3 and Bacillus sp.- FR19 when utilized alone, and in combination with each other on morphology and growth of tomato plants. Inoculation of endophytes significantly increased the plant growth parameters when compared to control. Plant biomass and root biomass 205,189,311%; 200,189,317% were increased in inoculated plants compared to non-treated control plants. The combined use of FR3 and FR19 had a positive impact on tomato morphological parameters and increased shoot biomass. P. aeruginosa (FR3) was found to have higher efficacy than Bacillus spp. (FR19) for plant growth and development, while the FR19 strain had higher antifungal activity than the FR3 strain.These results suggested that inoculation with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (FR3)and Bacillus sp (FR19) could be successfully used to enhance tomato biomass. A complete correlation was observed in plant growth parameters with inoculated FR3 and FR19-tested endophytic stains.

Published: July 2023

The digital economy industry plays a transformative role in reshaping the global production networks, the local division of production, and the integration and innovation of business forms. However, to what extent the industry enables the high-quality development and upgrading of urban economies is unclear. Based on the census data of digital economy enterprises in Hangzhou in 2008, 2013 and 2018, this paper verifies the characteristics of the digital economy industry and its enabling mechanism for high-quality urban economic development. It is found that: firstly, the digital economy industry has three main forms for the economy, namely, the sharing, scale and scope economy. Secondly, the industry has four major mechanisms to improve the quality of urban economies. That is, it can restructure the global industrial division of labor and value chains, promote the transformation of scale economy from the supply side to the demand side, enable the softening and servitization of industrial structure, and generate the scale of economies. This paper thus contributes to understanding the evolution of enterprise organizational structure and industrial competitiveness and the endogenous technological change under the digital economy.
Do policy coordination dynamics matter? A quantitative analysis perspective on China's scientific and technological policy evolution
Authors: Yang Yu , Khalid Nur Ajrun
Published: July 2023

Even though policy coordination is one of the oldest challenges that governments have to confront, as problems evolve and "New Public Management" concepts emerge, it has become even more essential. The current literature on policy coordination among government agencies, however, shows little regarding the way coordination is managed under centralized political systems. This study, based on the science and technology (S&T) policy documents issued by China's central government agencies between 1978 and 2020, provides a quantitative and dynamic analysis of the coordination of policies in China and presents a comprehensive overview of policy coordination paths and processes in centralized political systems. As a result, it provides a way that contributes to the analytical methods available for quantitatively analyzing policy documents. On the other hand, the key findings of the study show that, first, state council-administered ministries have taken the lead in coordinating policy while other types of organizations have collaborated in more subordinate capacities. Second, national themes that are democratic and driven by demand have been the core concern of coordination activities, such as social development, high-tech industrialization, and rural S&T. Third, policy coordination has evolved continuously and has mostly contributed to interpreting macrostrategies and implementing more specific implementation measures.

K-Pop fans’ consumptive behavior is reflected through the act of a variety of K-Pop merchandise and one of these merchandises is photocards. This article highlights photocards as a microscopic case study to explore the problematic fan practice of humanizing these photocards particularly as fans post contents related to their photocards on social media. Fans who actively collect K-Pop photocards treat them as if they are a substitute of their idols and they need to be always protected with care. Research findings show that fans treat photocards as a living human being for example by bringing these photocards while they do their activities and addressing them in their social media posts reflecting an intimate relationship between fans and the imagined presence of their idols through the photocards. By utilizing content analysis and ethnography method, data were collected through TikTok and interview session with several respondents (K-Pop photocard collectors). This research aims to observe how photocard is not only a material object that is meaningless. These photocards are humanized like a friend and become a replacement from the absence of the real form of the idols. Photocards’ meaning making process is dynamic while reflecting fans’ behavior in the context of K-Pop fandom in Indonesia

Birçok meyve türünün yetiştirilebildiği ülkemizde üzümsü meyve türleri yetiştiriciliği giderek artmaktadır. Üzümsü meyve türleri içerisinde gerek meyve içeriğinin zengin olması gerekse gıda sanayisinde yoğun kullanımı bakımından önemli bir yere sahip olan böğürtlen ülkemizin hemen hemen her yerinde yetiştirilebilmektedir. Gerek insan sağlığı açısından gerekse bitki büyümesi üzerine önemli olan triptofan esansiyel bir aminoasittir. Çalışmada dışsal triptofan uygulamasının böğürtlen bitkisinin bazı biyokimyasal ve meyve kalitesi üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir. Araştırma, 2021 yılında Yozgat Bozok Üniversitesi Tarımsal Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi’ne bağlı Gedikhasanlı istasyonundaki böğürtlen parselinde bulunan Bursa-1 çeşidi ile yürütülmüştür. Denemede ilk triptofan uygulaması, tomurcuk patlamasından sonra 50 ppm dozunda 1. ve 2. gruptaki bitkilere yapraktan püskürtülerek uygulanmıştır. 1 ay sonra 2. gruptaki bitkilere aynı dozda bir uygulama daha yapılmıştır. Meyveler olgunlaştıktan sonra yaprak ve meyve örnekleri alınmış ve yapraklarda, klorofil a ve b, toplam klorofil, karotenoid, malondialdehit miktarı; meyvelerde, suda çözünebilir kuru madde miktarı, titre edilebilir asitlik miktarı ve C vitamini analizleri yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda dışsal triptofan uygulamasının yapraklarda toplam klorofil miktarı vejetatif sürgünlerde 114.27-230.48 mg.g-1 taze ağırlık aralığında değiştiği bulunmuştur. Karotenoid miktarı en fazla, iki kez TRP uygulaması yapılan bitkilerden (vejetatif sürgünlerde 10.46, generatif sürgünlerde 9.6 mg.g-1 taze ağırlık) elde edilmiştir. Meyvelerde yapılan analizlerde, suda çözünebilir kuru madde miktarı (kontrole göre %33) ve C vitamini miktarının (kontrole göre %37) triptofan uygulaması ile arttığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak triptofan uygulamasının böğürtlen meyvesinde bazı biyokimyasal özelliklerin ve meyve kalite kriterlerinin artmasında etkili olduğu bulunmuştur.
