Authors: Billah MB , Sikder MM , Mallik MRI , Hossain MK , Alam N
Published: January 2022

Present studies were conducted to isolate and identify the seed-borne pathogenic fungus from the selected tomato variety through morphological and molecular techniques based on the sequencing of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of 18S rDNA. According to the colony and conidial features, the fungus was identified as Curvularia sp. The obtained ITS sequencing showed above 99% similarity with Curvularia lunata in the NCBI database. The sequence of the fungus was deposited in NCBI GenBank under the accession number: ITS, MH382879.1. Besides, the phylogenetic tree further confirmed the taxonomic position of the studied fungus. Growth characteristics of the fungus on nine different fungal culture media were evaluated, in which Honey peptone agar, Carrot agar, Potato sucrose agar, and Kauffman’s agar were found the most suitable. The maximum vegetative growth of the fungus was recorded at 30°C temperature and pH conditions. The bio-control potential of five different antagonists against the studied fungus was assessed, in which Trichoderma harzianum showed the better performance to restrict mycelial growth. Three ethanolic plant extracts were also evaluated, in which Lowsonia inermis L. exhibited above 60% mycelial growth inhibition of the fungus. Among three tested fungicides, Tilt 250 EC was found as an excellent fungicide to inhibit mycelial growth of C. lunata under in vitro conditions.

Authors: Asmera A , Yidnekachew A
Published: January 2022

The study investigated the socioeconomic impacts of irrigated agriculture and factors affecting the decision of agro-pastoralists to participate in irrigation during 2017-2018. The result depends on cross-sectional data collected from a sample of 120 households of which 90 irrigation users and 30 non-users using a combination of purposive and random sampling. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression to assess factors that affect participation in irrigation. The logistic regression model revealed that age, credit access, extension contact, distance to water, and labor force significantly affected the decision of given agro-pastoralists to participate in irrigation practices at less than 5% probability levels. This indicates that the explanatory variables included in the model influence the decision of agro-pastoralists to participate in irrigation practices. Therefore, the provision of credit service to allow rapid progress in introducing technologies like tractors for farming practices and frequent extension contact with irrigation users could enhance the productivity in the area.

Published: January 2022

Field experiment was carried out during the 2017-18 cropping season at Kako, Bena-Ttsemay woreda, South Omo zone, Southern Ethiopia to determine the effect of intercropping of maize and cowpea on the yield, land use efficiency and profitability of both crops. The experiment consisted of 4 treatments (sole maize, sole cowpea, one row maize to one row cowpea and one row maize to two-row cowpea) and laid in RCBD in four replications. Intercropping of one row maize to one row cowpea and one row maize to two-row cowpea, resulted in 55.8% and 27.9% greater land use efficiency than for either crop grown alone. The highest MAI was obtained by growing one row of maize to one row of cowpea (11563.17) followed by one row maize to two-rows of cowpea (6783.50).Based on the present finding, intercropping of one row maize and one row cowpea more economic advantage than the other crop combination or grown alone. Therefore, intercropping of one row maize to one row cowpea is an advantageous to farmers in the study area since it would provide additional crop yield with the same piece of land and more profitable related to cost benefit.

Authors: Rahman Mohammad Syfur , Haque Mohammad Farhadul , Sultana Tayeba , Sultana Tahera , Ul Alam Syed Asif
Published: January 2022

Background: Patients under maintenance hemodialysis are at increased risk of malnutrition, causing from multitude of factors. Present study aims to assess the prevalence of malnutrition among maintenance hemodialysis patients using both modified subjective global assessment score and body mass index, compare them and assess the sensitivity and specificity of body mass index for detecting malnutrition, along with determining a new cutoff value for BMI that better represent the maintenance hemodialysis patient’s nutritional status.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the hemodialysis unit of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital, BIRDEM General Hospital and National Institute of Kidney Diseases & Urology; among 80 adult CKD patients who were on regular (≥2 sessions per week) maintenance hemodialysis for more than 3 months without any acute infection, during the period of July 2016 to June 2017. Nutritional assessment was done for each patient using modified SGA score along with BMI. Sensitivity analysis of WHO recommended cutoff value for BMI was done among the study population using modified SGA score as gold standard test for detection of malnutrition among the respondents. ROC curve was used to estimate the best fitting cutoff value of BMI that showed highest sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for detracting malnutrition among maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Results: The study participants were predominantly male (66.3%) and from age group 45 to 59 years (36.3%). Modified SGA score detected 90.0% of the study population as malnourished. WHO recommended 18.5 kg/m2 cutoff value was also used to detect malnutrition among study population and 13.8% were found to be malnourished, with a sensitivity and specificity of 12.5% and 75.0% respectively. Accuracy was found to be 18.8%. Using ROC curve, 23.1 kg/m2 was found to be the best fitting cutoff value of BMI for the study population to detect malnutrition. With a sensitivity of 47.2%, specificity of 37.5% and accuracy of 46.3%.
Conclusion: BMI showed low sensitivity for detecting malnutrition among patients under maintenance hemodialysis, compared to modified SGA score and should be avoided as a screening tool, but 23.1 kg/m2 cutoff value for BMI showed potential to be used as an easy to use and quick tool for detecting malnutrition among such patients. Further study with larger sample size could shed more light on this.

Zika virus (ZIKV) a mosquito-borne, causing acute febrile illness associated with rash, arthralgia and conjunctivitis in the patient, was reported from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, as an outbreak with 83 cases. Entomological surveillance revealed the presence of aedine mosquitoes viz., Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762), Ae. albopictus (Skuse, 1894) and Ae. vittatus (Bigot, 1861) and nonaedine mosquitoes viz., Anopheles stephensi Liston,1901, Mansonia uniformis (Theobald, 1901), Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles, 1901 and Cx. gelidus Theobald,1901. Aedes (Ae. aegypti, Ae. vittatus and Ae. Albopictus) mosquito larvae were high in the Zika affected areas. Moreover ZIKV was detected in An. stephensi mosquitoes collected from Parassala, Thiruvananthapuram (the native place of the first ZIKV confirmed case in the present outbreak in Kerala). Molecular diagnostics of Ae. Aegypti, Ae. vittatu and An. stephensi mosquitoes revealed that the species were loaded with ZIKV. Significantly this is the first ever report of ZIKV detecting in An. stephensi in the world. Aedes adults (male and female) and An. stephensi emerged from fourth instar larvae and pupae were found to have ZIKV, indicating transovarial transmission of the virus.

Authors: SOJKA VLADIMIR , LEPSIK PETR
Published: January 2022

When precise planning of capacities and times of production is needed, there must be precise data for calculation. Not all operations have to have a normal time duration distribution. Counting with average values or use values from guessed distribution can lead to mistakes in actual production planning. This article aims to determine time probability distributions to manual operations. Tests of goodness of fit are used to search for more suitable distributions. This approach is presented in a case study of glass eyes manufacturing. Results show that there can be differences between the estimated normal distribution and another more suitable one. By using tests of goodness of fit to define the correct distribution, more precise production and capacity planning results can be achieved.

Authors: YAĞCI İbrahim , TAŞDELEN Yasin , AYDIN Fatih
Published: January 2022

Amaç: Göğüs ağrısı şikâyeti toplumda yaygın olarak görülür. Göğüs ağrısının etiyolojisinde en sık olarak kardiyak nedenler olmakla psikiyatrik bozukluklarda sık görülen nedenler arasındadır. Bu şikayet kalp rahatsızlığı ile ilgili sürekli endişeye ve sağlık hizmetlerinin tekrarlayan kullanımına neden olması açısından önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Nonkardiyak göğüs ağrısı (NKGA) şikâyeti olan hastalarda psikiyatrik belirtiler araştırılmış olmakla birlikte D Tipi kişilik araştırılmamıştır. Bu nedenle göğüs ağrısı şikâyeti olan bireylerde psikiyatrik belirtiler ile bu belirtilerle hissedilen ağrı şiddeti arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek için bu çalışma planlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: NKGA tanısı konulan 100 kişi ile hasta grubu, sağlıklı 100 kişi ile kontrol grubu oluşturuldu. Olgulara Sosyodemografik Veri Formu, Beck Depresyon ölçeği, Çocukluk Çağı Travmaları Ölçeği, D Tipi Kişilik Ölçeği, bedensel duyumları abartma ölçeği, Toronto Aleksitimi ölçeği uygulandı.

Bulgular: Sosyodemografik verilere bakıldığında hasta grubu ile kontrol grubu arasında yaş, cinsiyet, medeni hal, çalışma durumu ve eğitim düzeyleri bakımından anlamlı fark bulunmadı. Hasta grubundaki bireylerde kontrol grubuna göre depresyon, aleksitimi, bedensel duyumları abartma, D Tipi Kişilik ve çocukluk çağı travmatik yaşantılar ölçek puanlarının anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğu ayrıca D Tipi kişilik özelliklerinin ağrı şiddeti ile ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur.

Sonuç: NKGA şikâyeti olan hastalarda psikiyatrik belirtiler sık olarak görülmektedir. Psikiyatrik bozuklukların tespit edilmesi ve tedavi edilmeleri ile birlikte tekrarlayan hastane başvurularının azaltılabileceğini düşünüyoruz.

Soil organic matter contains more carbon than global vegetation and the atmosphere combined. Gaining access to this source of organic carbon is challenging and requires at least partial removal of polyphenolic and/or soil mineral protections, followed by subsequent enzymatic or chemical cleavage of diverse plant polysaccharides. Soil-feeding animals make significant contributions to the recycling of terrestrial organic matter. Some humivorous earthworms, beetles, and termites, among others, have evolved the ability to mineralize recalcitrant soil organic matter, thereby leading to their tremendous ecological success in the (sub)tropical areas. This ability largely relies on their symbiotic associations with a diverse community of gut microbes. Recent integrative omics studies, including genomics, metagenomics, and proteomics, provide deeper insights into the functions of gut symbionts. In reviewing this literature, we emphasized that understanding how these soil-feeding fauna catabolize soil organic substrates not only reveals the key microbes in the intestinal processes but also uncovers the potential novel enzymes with considerable biotechnological interests.
