Present investigation was conducted at Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh state, India during 2014−15 to assess the genetic diversity among 66 accessions of tomato maintained at Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University. The techniques of principal component analysis and D2 analysis were used for genetic diversity assessment. The analysis revealed significance of four principal components representing 70.12% of the total variability. Some of the important yield traits like average fruit weight, fruit yield plant-1 and number of locules fruit-1 were the most important traits in PC1 indicating that selection for diversity must be based on these traits. The correlation plot depicted that the traits plant height, number of fruits cluster-1 and number of fruits plant-1 were closely related to each other. Based on the scores of 1st and 2nd principal component, the genotypes were distributed in biplot. Most of the genotypes were congregated near the centre and revealed narrow genetic diversity existing among the germplasm accessions. The coordinates of the genotype EC 538380 indicated it as the most unique. The entries EC 538155, Pant T3, EC 521069, EC 538434 and EC 168283 were standing separate from the majority of entries. Cluster analysis also indicated congregation of most of the genotypes in one group. Overall, the study indicated limited genetic diversity in the test material.

Published: July 2022

The field trials were conducted for two consecutive years during kharif, 2015 and 2016 seasons at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Warangal, Telangana, India to study the bio efficacy of sulfoxaflor and other broad-spectrum insecticides on sucking pests and natural enemies of cotton under rain fed black soils. Among the treatments, a significant (47.6%) reduction of aphids was recorded with sulfoxaflor at 100 g a.i. ha-1 followed by flonicamid at 75 g a.i. ha-1 (42.8%) and sulfoxaflor at 90 (42.8%) as compared to other treatments. The highest reduction (61.0 %) of jassid was observed in flonicamid at 75 g a.i. ha-1 followed sulfoxaflor at 90 (50.8%) as compared to other treatments. The highest reduction (30.2%) of thrips was observed in sulfoxaflor at 100 g a.i. ha-1 followed by flonicamid at 75 g a.i. ha-1 (19.8%) and sulfoxaflor at 90 (19.8%) respectively, as compared to other treatments. The highest reduction (41.9%) of whitefly was observed in buprofezin at 250 g a.i. ha-1 followed by dinotefuran at 150 g a.i. ha-1 (35.5%) as compared to other treatments. None of the insecticidal treatments has affected the abundance of the natural enemy population during both the years of study. Overall, the study further revealed that, Sulfoxaflor at 100 g a.i ha-1 and flonicamid at 75 g a.i. ha-1 have shown good efficacy against sucking pests as well as recorded the highest seed cotton yield compared to other treatments and can be used as an alternative to other insecticides in the control of Cotton sucking pests.

The field experiments were conducted for two consecutive rabi seasons (November –March) of 2017–18 and 2018–19 at the Wet land farm of S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati to calibrate leaf colour chart (LCC) for increasing growth yield, nitrogen uptake under varied plant density to establish and evaluate threshold leaf colour greenness as a guide for in-season need based fertilizer N in maize. Research results indicated that the planting density, nitrogen levels and LCC threshold values significantly influenced all the growth and yield attributes, yield and nitrogen uptake. Plant height, days required to 50% tasselling and silking, cob yield, harvest index and nitrogen uptake increased significantly with increase in plant density i.e., 1,11,111 plants ha-1 with application of fertilizer nitrogen at higher dose i.e. 40 kg ha-1 and by using higher LCC threshold value (LCC 5) in different splits. Whereas, leaf area planr-1, cob girth, number of kernels rows cob-1 and number of kernels cob-1 was lessened significantly with increase in planting density, however it was increased with application of nitrogen at higher rate i.e., 40 kg ha-1 by using higher LCC threshold value (LCC 5) at various splits. Eventually, experimental results manifested that, fine-tuning of N dose and time of application by number of splits which synchronize the crop demand was the best management strategy for sustainable crop growth, production and productivity of maize.

The investigation was carried out in the Department of Vegetable Science, Dr. YSPUHF, Nauni, Solan, HP, India during kharif May, 2011-January, 2012. The objective of the study was to assess the genetic variability of 40 diverse genotypes of turmeric collected from different parts of the country including 2 recommended varieties as checks viz. Palam Lalima and PalamPitambar.This research work can be valued of immence importance over the time, as it may be of use for global breeders through exchange of germplasm in future.The observations were recorded on various growth, yield and quality parameters. High GCV and PCV were found for weight of mother and primary rhizomes, incidence of rhizome rot and curcumin content, indicating wide range of variations and offered better scope for improvement through clonal selection. High heritability coupled with high genetic gain were estimated for weight of mother and primary rhizomes and girth of primary rhizome, indicating that these characters were under additive gene effects and more reliable for effective clonal selection. High heritability coupled with moderate genetic gain for length and core diameter of mother, primary and secondary rhizomes, girth and weight of secondary rhizome and yield plant-1, plot-1 and ha-1 were also observed, which indicated that clonal selection for these characters can also be effective. The overall assessment showed that there was wide variability among turmeric genotypes which has important implication for clonal selection of turmeric genotypes for yield and quality attributes.

Introduction: The clinical pathway (CP) is one of the most recommended tools for ensuring the best quality of care and has been proven to reduce the cost and time spent in hospital. The development of a CP for influenza is crucial, especially for the elderly, as they are vulnerable to influenza-related complications. The main aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive protocol for each component of influenza management among the elderly in Malaysia.
Methods: An expert group meeting was conducted involving family medicine specialists, public health specialists, geriatricians, respiratory physicians and infectious disease physicians. The CP was designed following a 6-step protocol: 1) Selection of expert panel, 2) discussion and information gathering, 3) development of CP draft, 4) refinement of CP draft, 5) implementation of CP, and 6) finalisation of CP. The CP for influenza was designed based on service type and disease severity.
Results: The panel described both outpatient and inpatient CPs for managing elderly patients with influenza. The outpatient CP covered mild and moderate influenza cases, while the inpatient CP addressed the management of moderate and severe influenza. The estimated length of hospital stay for moderate and severe influenza cases with pneumonia was 6 and 14 days, respectively.
Conclusions: The CP for influenza supports existing treatment according to illness severity leveraged on current clinical practice guidelines and the best-care practices in primary and tertiary care settings. Continuous use of the CP is required to assess its effectiveness, thereby enabling optimisation of the healthcare process in influenza treatment.

Apples and oranges: political crops with and against the state in rural China
Authors: Rogers Sarah , Han Xiao , Wilmsen Brooke
Published: July 2022

In this article we bring together conceptual threads from political ecology, commodity geographies and agrarian studies to enable an inquiry into the political nature of crops. This inquiry is underpinned by the idea that crops are not just a means or a target of political projects, but can have effects through their webs of relations, and that their different capacities might mean that they may differently engage in political projects. This article examines how specialized cash crops in rural China are enrolled in state projects. We explore the cases of orange orchards and apple orchards in different locations in Hebei by detailing flows of capital and expertise, and smallholder-crop relations. Our analysis demonstrates that a political ecology of cash crops can provide insight into the politics of successive state projects that have been rolled out in China's agricultural communities. We argue that through evolving relations with smallholders, the attributes of the crops themselves, and particular market dynamics, robust smallholder-crop complexes have emerged that are currently proving resistant to the latest state project to achieve at-scale, industrialized agriculture. If we take political crops and their relations seriously in the story of contemporary agrarian change in China, we find that apple and oranges, previously with the state, can also come to act against it.
The Propensity to Risky Behaviour and Subjective Risk Assessment Among Selected Groups of Divers
Authors: Wiesner Wojciech , Siermontowski Piotr , Pawelec Iwona
Published: July 2022

In this study, it was assumed that the propensity to risk behavior is a relatively persistent feature of an individual’s behavior. A person prone to risk, having the choice of taking a risky or cautious behavior, usually chooses to choose a risky behavior. The level of propensity to risk is related to the perception of the size of the threat and the motivational tendency to risk behavior. Risk management, and therefore managing your own safety, is a skill that is particularly important among people who undertake activities with a high level of risk. These include all underwater activities. The aim of the research was to find an answer to the question of whether there is a relationship between the level of risk behavior and the subjectively assessed risk in diving? Also, are there differences between different groups of divers in terms of risk behavior?

112 divers from public services (military formations, police, PSP) participated in the study, of which the results of 67 people were finally analyzed. The Ryszard Student’s Risk Behavior Test, the Makarowski Risk Acceptance Scale and the proprietary subjective risk assessment questionnaire were used. It has been shown that among all professional groups of divers, the group of policemen is more prone to risky behaviors than the other groups. No other dependencies have been confirmed.
The Effect of Subacute Poisoning with Deltamethrin on the Levels of Interleukin 1ß and Tumour Necrosis Factor Α in the Livers and Kidneys of Mice
Authors: Nieradko-Iwanicka Barbara , Borzęcki Grzegorz , Orłowski Marcin
Published: July 2022

Deltamethrin is a type II pyrethroid. Deltamethrin’s action is characterised by nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and immunotoxicity.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of poisoning with deltamethrin on the levels of interleukin1ß and TNFα in the livers and kidneys of mice.

A total of 24 female mice were divided into 3 groups of 8:

- controls,

- receiving deltamethrin i.p. at the dose of 41.5 mg/kg for 28 days

- receiving deltamethrin i.p. at the dose of 8.3 mg/kg for 28 days.

On day 29 the animals were euthanised, livers and kidneys were obtained, homogenised and centrifuged. The supernatant was used for measuring IL-1ß and TNFα concentration with ELISA tests. The results were analysed with Statsoft Statistica.

The interleukin 1ß concentrations were significantly higher in the kidneys (18.30±16.85) of mice exposed to the higher dose of deltamethrin than in the controls (8.15±4.66) (p<0.05). In the livers of mice receiving 41.5mg/kg deltamethrin it was 203±71.63 vs 46.77±34.79 (p<0.05). In the livers of animals receiving the lower dose it was higher than in the control group (96.51±24.73) (p<0.05). The TNF α was elevated in the kidneys of mice exposed to the higher dose of deltamethrin (6.56±3.26 vs 2.89±1.57)(p<0.05).

Conclusion: Deltamethrin produces a significant increase of interleukin 1ß in the livers and kidneys of mice and so the cytokine seems to be a good marker of hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in the course of subacute poisoning.

There are several reasons why families adopt in Lubuk Barumun District, namely to make the adopted child their biological child and result in the child's blood relationship. And the family adopted a child because they had been married for a long time and had no children. There is also a reason that because of economic factors and because they do not have a son, so they are interested in adopting a boy with the aim of provoking the birth of a boy in their family. The understanding of the people of Lubuk Barumun District, Padang Lawas Regency regarding the verses about child adoption is that it is permissible to adopt a child but not to lose the original lineage. You may adopt a child but you may not be a guardian in your adopted child's marriage. You can adopt children but you can't inherit each other.

Buying and selling (Al-Bai') is a sale and purchase between objects and objects, or the exchange of objects for money, in this case the exchange of objects for money in other words the occurrence of a sale and purchase agreement that transfers the property rights of an object being traded, in this case it can be in the form of the benefits of clothing, food and housing including the needs of daily life. The problem in this research is how the practice of buying and selling used clothes in the city of Tanjung Balai in terms of the Sharia Economic Law Compilation. This research is field research or commonly called empirical normative research. Empirical normative or non-doctrinal research is research based on actual human behavior or actions and interactions. There are two sources of data, namely primary and secondary, while the data collection instruments are interviews, observation and documentation. This study found that the practice of buying and selling used clothes in the city of Tanjung Balai is something that is usually done by traders and consumers, the problem is the condition of objects being traded by traders where the object cannot be seen directly by buyers who want to resell. Because in the Compilation of Sharia Economic Law Article 76 explains the terms of the object being traded "Goods being traded must be known by the buyer" "The specifics of the goods being traded must be known". This explanation can be concluded that the terms of the object being traded have been regulated in the Compilation of Sharia Economic Law, and when buying and selling cannot be seen, the goods being sold are still in doubt, because of the element of gharar, namely the lack of clarity of the item.
Pelaksanaan Legalisasi Tanah Wakaf

Waqf land is a type of waqf of immovable objects intended for worship and muamalah facilities with the aim of prospering the people. Land that has been waqf has changed its original ownership from private property to belong to the community, the waqf land should be given legal protection to avoid misuse of ownership. Law No. 41 of 2004 concerning waqf and PP No. 28 of 1977 concerning the procedures for waqf property is a guideline for legalizing waqf land. The registration of the Waqf Pledge Deed (AIW) and the waqf certificate are authentic evidence of valid waqf land, without both waqf land being vulnerable to the law, because waqf land that has not been legalized can end up in a dispute between the parties concerned. The main factor that many waqf lands have not legalized is the lack of public knowledge of the laws that govern it. In the implementation of the legalization of waqf land, there are problems with the long processing time, a lot of costs, the lack of administrative requirements and the negligence of the staff of the National Land Agency office (BPN). In Islamic law, the legalization of waqf land is not explicitly explained, but there is a legal value in the Qur'anic verse: "write it down", so that recording is carried out on something that binds rights, one of which is waqf land.

Background. We evaluate here the effect of the ketogenic diet (KD) on children with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in terms of clinical effectiveness, anthropometric measurements, and some electroencephalogram (EEG) and biochemical findings.
Methods. Included in the study were 18 children (median age 70 months, 61.1% female) who received the classical KD and modified Atkins diet (MAD) for at least one year due to DRE. The patients` demographic and laboratory data; weight, height and body mass index values; EEG and electrocardiographic findings; abdominal ultrasonography findings; and biochemical parameters were recorded at baseline and at 12 months after the initiation of the diet. A reduction of ≥50% in the number of seizures was accepted as a response to KD.
Results. Classic KD was chosen for 14 patients (77.8%), and MAD for four patients (22.2%). The response to KD therapy (≥50% reduction) was 55.5% (n = 10) (p = 0.008), and one patient even became seizure-free. By the 12th month of treatment, 10 patients had experienced a reduction of more than 50% in epileptiform discharges, as indicated by EEG findings. There was no difference in seizure reduction between the patients who received classical KD and MAD. A total of 11.1% of the children lost weight during KD treatment. The most common side effect was constipation (n = 10, 55.6%). At the end of one year of treatment, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) LDL-C levels had increased dramatically, while fasting blood glucose levels had decreased significantly.
Conclusions. Our study suggests that KD treatment provides good clinical efficacy in the treatment of pediatric DRE, and can significantly reduce the frequency of epileptic discharges. Also, total cholesterol and LDL-C levels increased significantly, and fasting blood glucose levels decreased significantly compared to the baseline levels.

Background. Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is one of the leading causes of acute respiratory infections and bronchiolitis in infants. A history of prematurity and chronic diseases such as congenital heart disease or asthma/reactive airway disease (RAD) increases the risk of severe lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) due to hMPV. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to analyze the clinical outcome and risk factors for severe disease in children with LRTI due to hMPV.
Methods. The current cross-sectional study included children between 28 days and 18 years of age with the diagnosis of hMPV-associated LRTI hospitalizations, over two years from January 2016 to September 2018 in Health Science University Dr. Behçet Uz Child Disease and Pediatric Surgery Training and Research Hospital. hMPV virus was detected by the multiplex polymerase chain test (PCR) (Commercial Multiplex Real-Time PCR: FTD Respiratory 21 plus, Fast Track Diagnostics, Luxembourg) from a nasopharyngeal swab. Patients who had positive results in multiplex PCR tests with other viral agents simultaneously were not included in the study. Data were retrospectively collected from the computerized hospital system.
Results. In this cross-sectional study, 62 patients who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of LRTI due to hMPV infection were included. Thirty-five (55.7%) of the patients were male. The median age was one year (2 months-15 years). Fifty-one (82.2%) patients were younger than two years. The median hospital length of stay was found to be 10 days (2-33 days) in patients with an underlying disease and 7,5 days (ranging from 2 to 20 days) in the patients without an underlying disease, this difference was significant (p=0.031).
Conclusions. Clinicians should consider hMPV as an important pathogen of LRTI even in healthy children, although we expect a poor course of disease in children with an underlying disease.

Published: July 2022

Background. Phenylketonuria (PKU), is an autosomal recessive disease leading to the conversion defect of phenylalanine (Phe) into tyrosine. Severe neurocognitive and behavioral outcomes are observed in untreated cases. The present paper aims to review clinical experiences and expert recommendations in diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of pediatric PKU patients in Turkey.
Methods. Two advisory board meetings were held in the year 2016 and 2017 with contributions of four leading experts in this field, and an online update meeting was held for final decisions about statements, and conclusions in January 2021. Considering management gaps in diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of PKU, discussion points are defined. The Committee members then reviewed the Turkish and general literature and the final statements were formulated.
Results. The diagnostic cut-off for dried blood spots should remain at 2 mg/dl. Treatment cut-off value is acceptable at 6 mg/dl. Compliance with an ideal follow-up list is strongly recommended. Total protein intake should not be limited. Age-related safe levels of protein intake should be encouraged with an additional 40% from L-amino acids supplements, a 20% compensatory factor to account for the digestibility and utilization of amino acids from the supplement, and a further 20% compensation to optimize Phe control. Cognitive impairment and intelligence quotient evaluations should be performed at least twice before 3 years of age. In pregnant women, the target Phe level should be < 5 mg/dl, and they should be followed-up weekly in the first trimester, then every 2 weeks after organogenesis. Novel pharmacological treatments are promising, but some of them have limitations for our country.
Conclusions. Early diagnosis and treatment initiation; determination and standardization of diagnostic and treatment thresholds; treatment modalities and follow-up parameters are significant steps in treating PKU in the long term. PKU follow-up is a dynamic process with uncertainties and differences in clinical practice.

Background. There was a contradiction in the previous literature on whether the D/D genotype of angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) is a protective or risk factor for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature neonates. To solve this debate, we intended to examine the association between ACE gene polymorphism and RDS in premature neonates.
Methods. We enrolled a total of 100 premature neonates with gestational age below 37 weeks. They were divided into 2 groups, the case group included 50 premature neonates diagnosed with RDS. While the control group included 50 premature neonates with no signs of RDS. We assessed ACE gene polymorphism using polymerase chain reaction. All neonates underwent chest x-ray, echocardiography, and routine laboratory investigations.
Results. D/D and D/I genotypes were higher in the control group (48% and 50%) than in the case group (26% and 40%). Whereas, I/I genotype was lower in the control group (2%) than in the case group (34%) (p < 0.001). By counting D alleles among members of both groups, D-alleles were significantly higher in the control group (73%) than in the case group (46%) (p < 0.001).
Conclusions. In premature neonates, D/D and D/I genotypes and D-alleles are protective factors for RDS. Whereas, I/I genotype and I-alleles are associated with the incidence of RDS with complications.
Pediatric head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma; the role of MRI in differentiation from other common pediatric malignant head and neck tumors

Published: July 2022

Background. The tumor localization/extent and imaging characteristics of rhabdomyosarcomas (RMSs) especially parameningeal type, could overlap with the common tumors of the head and neck (H&N) such as lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Our goal was to investigate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features that could favor the diagnosis of RMS over lymphoma and NPC in H&N region.
Methods. Pretreatment MRI of 42 pediatric patients (mean: 9.7±5.1 years, min-max: 2-18 years) with a recent diagnosis of RMS (n=12), lymphoma (n=14) and NPC (n=16) were retrospectively studied. Tumor localization, extension and spread were evaluated. Signal and enhancement characteristics of the tumors and the presence of necrosis were noted. ADC values were measured by using both the small sample and single slice methods. For comparison of three groups, the Kruskal Wallis test and Pairwise comparisons were used. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated for the assessment of inter-observer agreement.
Results. Nasopharynx ±parapharyngeal space involvement was detected in 58.3% of RMSs. Rhabdomyosarcoma was more heterogeneous in T2 images compared to lymphoma (p=0.014). Rhabdomyosarcoma showed significantly higher frequency of heterogeneous enhancement (p < 0.001) and necrosis (p < 0.001) among these tumors. The mean ADC values of lymphoma were significantly lower than the values of RMS (p < 0.001) and NPC (p < 0.01) for both observers. The mean ADC values were higher in RMSs than NPCs (p > 0.05). Intra-class correlation in ADC measurements was higher for the single slice method (ICC=0.997) than the small sample method (ICC=0.989).
Conclusions. Rhabdomyosarcoma tends to have higher ADC values than lymphoma and has a higher frequency of heterogeneous enhancement and necrotic parts than both lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. These features could help radiologists to differentiate RMS from the above-mentioned mimickers.

Background. There is limited information about the prevalence and risk factors of inguinal hernia and undescended testis in patients with spina bifida (SB). The aim of this study was to identify the properties and prevalence of inguinoscrotal diseases in these patients.
Methods. A questionnaire was completed by parents of patients with the diagnosis of SB in our center. Together with demographic data, presence an of inguinal hernia, side, operation history, presence of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, type of SB aperta or occulta, recurrence and presence of undescended testis were questioned. Patients were grouped into 2 as SB aperta and occulta. The prevalence of these pathologies and their clinical properties were evaluated.
Results. In this study, 388 patients were evaluated. Of these, 238 patients had SB aperta and 150, SB occulta. There was no significance in comparison of gender. The prevalence of inguinal hernia was 12.6% in general. A hernia was noted in 37 SB aperta patients (15.6%) whereas this was seen in 12 of the SB occulta patients (8%) (p=0.029). When there was a VP shunt, hernia prevalence was 21.5% and when there was no shunt, this ratio was 7.1% (p=0.0001). Prevalence of inguinal hernia was 21.8% in males and 3.2% in females (p=0.0001). When there was a VP shunt with SB aperta the prevalence was 21.9% and when a VP shunt was present with SB occulta, this number was found to be 13.3% (p=0.006). The prevalence of undescended testis was 17.7% and there was no difference between SB aperta and occulta patients.
Conclusions. Inguinal hernia and undescended testis are more frequent in SB patients when compared to the normal population. VP shunts and male gender may be risk factors for inguinal hernia in these children. These findings may imply neurological factors in the etiology of inguinal hernia and undescended testis.
