The Effect of Dried Powdered Leaves of Radish (Rhaphanus sativus L.) in Decreasing the Parasitism of Orobanche ramosa L. on Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Grown in Greenhouses. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 40(3): 280-285. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-40.3.280285 The allelopathic effect of dried leaves powder mixed with soil at concentrations of 1, 2, 4% of Raphanus sativus on both parasitic weed Orobanche ramosa L. germination and growth of tomato Solanum lycopersicum L. plants was studied. The results obtained showed that the R. sativus powder at 2 and 4% concentrations, was effective in decreasing the average number of O. ramosa tubers which reached 4.20 and 2.00 tubers/plant, respectively, compared to the control which was 48.80 tubers/plant, and decreased the average length of Orobanche branches to 2.67 and 0.53 cm, respectively, compared to 10.33 cm for the control. Furthermore, Orobanche dry weight reached 0.80 and 0.02 g, respectively, in response to the two concentrations of the radish powder, compared to 4.24 g for the control. There was no negative effect on the growth and weight of tomato plants when treated with radish powder, suggesting the effectiveness of radish leaves powder added to the soil as an effective biological material in reducing the incidence of branched broomrape Orobanche ramose L., and protecting tomato plant Solanum lycopersicum L. from this parasitic weed.

Authors: S. Nair Sandra. , Peerkhan Nazni
Published: December 2022

The dairy-based probiotic products dominate the functional food market primarily yogurts. Fibers derived from byproducts of the fruit processing sector, herb extracts, and fresh spices have all been introduced to the milk and yogurt product portfolio. The main objective of this study was to investigate to what extent the addition of barnyard millet milk and different herb oleoresins in yogurts will improve its qualitative properties and antioxidant activity. The cow's milk, barnyard millet milk, and the oleoresins obtained from three other herbal plants are considered in this study, respectively, Sage (Salvia Officinalis L.), Oregano (Origanum Vulgare L.) and Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis). On day1, day 14 and day 28 after yogurt preparation, the effect of millet milk and oleoresins prepared from different herbs (0.5, 1, 1.5 percent) on yogurt qualitative features (pH, titratable acidity, syneresis, color parameters, viscosity total polyphenol and flavonoid and antioxidant activity) was evaluated. The final results demonstrated that after 28 days of storage, the physicochemical parameters of the yogurt with millet milk and herb oleoresins were improved over CM samples. As the proportion of herb extract increased, so did the total polyphenol and flavonoid values. Yogurt containing herb extract exhibited antioxidant activity that was notably higher than the standard and improved proportionately as herb extract concentration increased. When Oregano (Origanum Vulgare L.) oleoresin and barnyard millet milk were combined, the best antioxidant capability was obtained. As per the results, the apparent viscosity of the CM yogurt was higher than that of enriched yogurt samples, while the model with 0.5 percent Oregano (Origanum Vulgare L.) oleoresin addition seemed to have the best nutritional value. The findings of this study lead to the conclusion that yogurts enriched with barnyard millet milk and natural extracts could be used as functional foods with significant health benefits.

Published: December 2022

Infants with trisomy 13 or trisomy 18 frequently suffer from cardiac anomalies. Our study aims to look at the impact of using cardiac surgery on mortality and functional outcome in patients with trisomy 13 and trisomy 18. A search for articles was done on PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct and CENTRAL databases; from inception until 30th October 2022. Quantitative analysis was done using Meta XL and Review Manager 5.4. A p=-value of 0.05 was adopted as the significance threshold. The database search yielded 1,127 articles but only 17 were included in this systematic review. This paper reports a total of 2,551 trisomy cases. 672 cases were T13, 1478 cases were T18 and 401 cases were undefined. The calculated Odds Ratio (OR) was 4.20 95%CI, 2.70 - 6.52], with a p-value < 0.00001. There was also the finding that cardiac surgery had a more positive impact on mortality and discharge outcomes for T18 patients than T13 patients. The difference, however was statistically insignificant. In conclusion, the use of cardiac surgery to manage T13 and T18 patients is plausible, but other factors like post-operative complications should be taken into account.

El propósito de este artículo fue analizar el desempeño financiero y operativo de las empresas del sector de energía eléctrica en Colombia y evidenciar las prácticas implementadas para contribuir con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), que son una iniciativa global que busca a través de diferentes metas contribuir al cumplimiento de la agenda 2033 de desarrollo sostenible. Este estudio se fundamentó en el llamado a las compañías a articular su gestión financiera y no financiera en sintonía con la agenda 2030, en un sector que es sensible y relevante para el desarrollo del país. La técnica empleada fue un análisis univariante de indicadores financieros y operativos entre los años 2014-2019, de las empresas generadoras de energía eléctrica en Colombia, con participación superior al 1 % en el mercado, y mediante un análisis de contenido se revisaron los informes de sostenibilidad de diez empresas en el 2019, para estudiar las estrategias y mecanismos que den cumplimiento a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. Se evidenció que los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible son priorizados en la estrategia y revelados dentro de los informes de sostenibilidad en la mayoría de las empresas, siguiendo los lineamientos de divulgación del Global Reporting Initiative y la guía para la acción empresarial sobre los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible del SDG Compass. En cuanto a los resultados financieros, medidos a través del estudio de las rentabilidades, mostró cómo se pueden apalancar las acciones de sostenibilidad empresarial; sin embargo, no se pudieron determinar montos invertidos o presupuestos de gasto destinados a cumplir los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de manera oficial o su reflejo en los estados financieros. La generación de buenos resultados financieros debe de ir de la mano de una inclusión en las empresas de una cultura socialmente responsable que promueva, impulse y asegure el desarrollo del país.

Published: December 2022

La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 constituye una condición clínica debilitante, degenerativa y multifacética de alta prevalencia a nivel mundial. Dada la complejidad de su fisiopatología y las variadas opciones terapéuticas que existen esta enfermedad presenta un desafío para el médico general, se hace imperativo describir comprensiblemente esta patología para mejorar la resolutividad de ésta en atención primaria. Tras una búsqueda bibliográfica exhaustiva de 103 estudios publicados hasta el año 2010, se identificaron los aspectos más importantes tanto de la fisiología, fisiopatología, complicaciones y terapéuticas de esta patología. La resistencia a la insulina (RI) es una condición metabólica central en la etiopatogenia de esta patología donde se logra reconocer de manera clásica tanto la pérdida de la acción periférica de la insulina por parte de los diferentes tejidos, así como defectos en la secreción de insulina conllevando estados de hiperglucemia constantes asociados tanto a complicaciones agudas como crónicas caracterizadas por provocar disfunción y fallo en diferentes órganos. Es de conocimiento general que parte importante de los resultados en el manejo de esta patología se logran con cambios en el estilo de vida que van desde modificaciones en la dieta a cambios en el patrón de actividad física con pérdida de peso corporal. No obstante, existe a su vez una amplia gama de terapias farmacológicas orientadas a controlar estados hiperglucémicos ante la falla de la terapia no farmacológica. Dentro de este mismo contexto varias son las dianas y objetivos terapéuticos en el tratamiento del diabético tipo 2, sin embargo, todas confluyen en el control metabólico de los estados de hiperglucemia y la prevención de sus complicaciones.

La falta de adherencia al tratamiento de la Tuberculosis (TB) por parte de la población migrante venezolana en Colombia, se ha convertido en un problema de salud pública. Esto se explica por un conjunto de barreras que impiden una adherencia terapéutica exitosa de estos pacientes que son importantes de reconocer. Objetivo. Identificar los Determinantes Sociales de la Salud (DSS) que impidieron la adherencia al tratamiento de la TB en la población migrante venezolana atendida durante el período 2018-2019 en la Subred Centro Oriente de la ciudad de Bogotá D.C. Metodología. Estudio cuantitativo descriptivo en la ciudad de Bogotá D.C., muestra no probabilística, compuesta por 19 migrantes venezolanos, 12 hombres y 7 mujeres, quienes fueron diagnosticados y notificados con TB pulmonar. Resultados. El acompañamiento y apoyo familiar inciden en una mayor probabilidad de adherencia al tratamiento; así mismo las variables de ocupación, afectación laboral y gastos extras, sorpresivamente como el desempleo mejoran la adherencia al tratamiento. Se infiere que la ausencia de vinculación laboral aumenta la disponibilidad de tiempo para acudir a las instituciones y recibir un tratamiento efectivo.

This study shows statistical information regarding COVID-19 in Colombia up to this date (March 1-2022). Specifically, the daily, monthly and cumulative evolution of infections and deaths, correlated with the distribution of the population according to age and gender. Objective. Show statistical information about COVID-19 that allows help to plan and design, in future Pandemics, public health policy strategies in Colombia. Methods. Daily information since the official declaration of Pandemic in Colombia (March 16 – 2020) was obtained by the National Health Institute (INS) and was organized in a database in order to conduct respective analysis. This information was compared to similar studies obtained based on the bibliographical review. Results and Conclusions. Results and conclusions are similar to those found in the reference literature: most part of those dead by COVID-19 are of senior age and male gender. Regarding Case Fatality Rate (CFR), it notoriously increases with age. The most vulnerable population displays an average age of ≥ 52.8 years. The less vulnerable population are young persons under 30 years of age, but specifically, those within the age range of 10 and 20 years. Gompertz and Logistic models can mathematically simulate the evolution of deaths and the evolution of CFR according to age.
Investigating the Incorporation of Digital Literacy and 21st-Century Skills into Postgraduate Students’ Learning Activities
Authors: Maya Lailatul , Suseno Muchlas
Published: December 2022

Students in higher education institutions require digital literacy and 21st-century skills for their learning activities. Despite the reality of students born into digital technologies that have become increasingly integrated into learning activities, no studies have looked into the situation, particularly study in the context of postgraduate students. This study aims to determine the extent of Master of English Language Education (MELE) students’ incorporation of digital literacy and 21st-century skills within their learning activities. This study was carried out using a survey research method. The sample consisted of 34 MELE students from Jakarta State University enrolled in various gap years (2019-2021) in the Master English Language Education department. The data were collected using 24 questionnaire items. The instruments were employed based on the International Society for  Technology in Education (ISTE) Student Standard and disseminated using Google Form. The findings revealed that most MELE students had a high level of digital literacy and 21st-century skills. However, some students marked themselves as having low levels on it. Thus, the researchers recommended that the students enhance their engagement with technology, incorporate 21st-century skills, and develop digital literacy according to today’s requirements for completing their learning goals.
Classroom Activities and Student Motivation in Learning an English Subject: A Case Study at a Public Secondary School in Cambodia
Authors: Bon Saban , Sorn Tive , Mon Mab , Muon Mon , Mon Malis
Published: December 2022

This study sought to investigate students’ perceptions of classroom activities and their motivation levels in learning an English subject. The study also examined the affiliation between classroom activities and student motivation. The survey questionnaires were employed to collect the data from 120 upper secondary graders studying at a public secondary school in Cambodia. Social Science Version 16.0 (SPSS 16.0) was utilized to analyze. Descriptive statistics and Pear Product Moment Correlation were performed. The results revealed that EFL teachers frequently employed ‘Mechanics’ and ‘Exclusive Use of Language’ in their teaching. The results apropos of student motivation indicated that students had a higher level of motivation in ‘Confidence’, and ‘Motivation about Language’ and the lowest level in ‘Motivation about Class’. The result also revealed that ‘Fun’ positively correlates with ‘Confidence’ and ‘Motivation about Class’. Conversely, ‘Mechanics’ is negatively correlated with ‘Motivation about Class’. Therefore, the study argued that the teachers less frequently employed ‘Fun’ activities that could boost student motivation. In contrast, ‘The teachers commonly practiced mechanics’ activities that could decrease student motivation. In this sense, the study suggested that teachers maximize ‘Fun’ activities and minimize ‘Mechanics’ activities. However, because of the weak and moderate correlation between classroom activities and students’ motivation, the level of student motivation was not mostly determined by classroom activities. Thus, scrutiny of other factors enhancing the level of student motivation could be a topic for future study.

Published: December 2022

Using seismic recordings of event S1222a, we measure dispersion curves
of Rayleigh and Love waves, including their first overtones, and invert
these for shear velocity (Vs) and radial anisotropic structure of the
martian crust. The crustal structure along the topographic dichotomy is
characterized by a fairly uniform vertically-polarized shear velocity
(Vsv) of 3.17 km/s between ~5-30 km depth, compatible
with the previous study by Kim et al. (2022). Radial anisotropy as large
as 12 % (Vsh > Vsv) is required in the crust between 5-40
km depth. At greater depths, we observe a large discontinuity near 63 ±
10 km, below which Vsv reaches 4.1 km/s. We interpret this velocity
increase as the crust-mantle boundary along the path. Combined
gravimetric modeling suggests that the observed average crustal
thickness favors the absence of large-scale density differences across
the topographic dichotomy.
HIGH RESOLUTION, LOW ALTITUDE AEROMAGNETIC SURVEYS OF THE ACTIVE ”LA FOSSA DI VULCANO CALDERA AND LIPARI ISLANDS VOLCANIC COMPLEX (AEOLIAN ARCHIPELAGO, SOUTH ITALY)
Authors: Ritis Riccardo De , Chiappini Massimo
Published: December 2022

We present the new high-resolution magnetic anomaly map of the La Fossa
di Vulcano Caldera and Lipari active Volcanic Complex (Southern Italy),
obtained by merging two low-altitude aeromagnetic surveys. Magnetic
anomalies range from -600 to 2600 nT and have different characteristics
moving from South to North. La Fossa di Vulcano Caldera is characterized
by very high intensities and short wavelengths which align along the
NW-SE and NS Tindari-Letojanni strike slip fault where the Southern part
of the Aeolian Archipelago emplaced. The Lipari island is instead
characterized by lower intensity anomalies elongated in the NE-SW
direction of the subordinate faults. The Lipari area can be further
subdivided into Northern and Southern zones with distinctive signatures.
The Southern side is characterized by negative magnetic values whereas
the central-Northern side by positive anomalies. This anomaly pattern is
caused by the interplay among strike slip tectonics, chemistry of the
uprising magmas and the still little-known effect of thermal setting,
especially on the Lipari island. To support the interpretations, we
applied a digital enhancement on the total intensity magnetic anomaly
field and the spatial correlation analysis of the magnetic and
volcano-tectonic features. The insights we obtained are helpful to
better understand the relationship between the arc volcanism and the
strike slip tectonics and to define new inferences useful to forecast
future eruptions of the La Fossa Caldera active system. In fact, recent
unrest signals were registered at La Fossa Cone which, together with
Stromboli island, are the present-day active volcanoes of the
Archipelago.
Normalized Steepness Index along the Himalayan Arc as a proxy for Indian plate segmentation
Authors: Kangregula Raj Sunil , Gayatri Pavankumar , Manglik Ajai
Published: December 2022

The Indian plate underthrusting the Himalaya is considered to be
segmented along the collision belt arc and seismic images of the Indian
mantle lithosphere (IML) suggest along-arc variations in the angle of
underthrusting and its northern limit beneath Tibet. The pre-existing
transverse tectonic structures of the Indian plate mapped in the Ganga
foreland basin have been related to these segmentation boundaries. These
segmentations imply changes in mechanical properties of adjoining blocks
which should manifest in the form of spatial variations in topography
build-up. We have analysed a geomorphic index, normalized channel
steepness (ksn), along the Himalayan arc using the ALOS elevation
dataset to test whether there is any correlation between the and these
segmentation boundaries. Our results bring out spatial variability in
the along the arc. Based on these results, the arc can be segmented into
five blocks, similar to the ones delineated based on correlation between
the width of the Ganga foreland basin and the disposition of major
Himalayan thrusts from the foothills. Thus, the can be used as a proxy
to demarcate different tectonic blocks along the Himalayan arc. Further,
we have found a good correlation between the basin width and the
northern limit of the IML for all block except the Uttarakhand block. We
infer that transverse crustal heterogeneities in this block due to the
continuation of different litho-units of the Aravalli-Delhi Fold Belt
could be a plausible cause for this anti-correlation.
Relating hydro-mechanical and elastodynamic properties of dynamically-stressed tensile-fractured rock in relation to fracture aperture and contact area
Authors: Wood Clay , Manogharan Prabhakaran , Rathbun Andy , Rivière Jacques , Elsworth Derek , Marone Chris , Shokouhi Parisa
Published: December 2022

We exploit nonlinear elastodynamic properties of fractured rock to probe
the micro-scale mechanics of fractures and understand the relation
between fluid transport and fracture aperture and area, stiffness proxy,
under dynamic stressing. Experiments are conducted on rough,
tensile-fractured Westerly granite specimen subject to triaxial
stresses. Fracture permeability is measured from steady-state fluid flow
with deionized water. Pore pressure oscillations are applied at
amplitudes ranging from 0.2 to 1~MPa at
1~Hz frequency. During dynamic stressing we transmit
acoustic signals through the fracture using an array of piezoelectric
transducers (PZTs) to monitor the evolution of fracture interface
properties. We examine the influence of fracture aperture and contact
area by conducting measurements at effective normal stresses of 10,
12.5, 15, 17.5, and 20~MPa. Additionally, the evolution
of contact area with stress is characterized using pressure sensitive
film. These experiments are conducted separately with the same fracture
and they map contact area at stresses from 9 to 21~MPa.
The resulting ‘true’ area of contact measurements made for the entire
fracture surface and within the calculated PZT sensor footprints,
numerical modeling of Fresnel zone. We compare the elastodynamic
response of the the fracture using the stress-induced changes ultrasonic
wave velocities for a range of transmitter-receiver pairs to image
spatial variations in contact properties, which is informed by fracture
contact area measurements. These measurements of the nonlinear
elasticity are related to the fluid-flow, permeability, in response to
dynamic stressing and similar comparisons are made for the
slow-dynamics, recovery, of the fracture interface following the stress
perturbations.
Towards Cloud-Native, Machine Learning Based Detection of Crop Disease with Imaging Spectroscopy
Authors: Rubambiza Gloire , Galvan Fernando E Romero , Pavlick Ryan , Weatherspoon Hakim , Gold Kaitlin M
Published: December 2022

Developing actionable early detection and warning systems for
agricultural stakeholders is crucial to reduce the annual
\$200B USD losses and environmental impacts associated
with crop diseases. Agricultural stakeholders primarily rely on
labor-intensive, expensive scouting and molecular testing to detect
disease. Spectroscopic imagery (SI) can improve plant disease management
by offering decision-makers accurate risk maps derived from Machine
Learning (ML) models. However, training and deploying ML requires
significant computation and storage capabilities. This challenge will
become even greater as global scale data from the forthcoming Surface
Biology \& Geology (SBG) satellite becomes available.
This work presents a cloud-hosted architecture to streamline plant
disease detection with SI from NASA’s AVIRIS-NG platform, using
grapevine leafroll associated virus complex 3 (GLRaV-3) as a model
system. Here, we showcase a pipeline for processing SI to produce plant
disease detection models and demonstrate that the underlying principles
of a cloud-based disease detection system easily accommodate model
improvements and shifting data modalities. Our goal is to make the
insights derived from SI available to agricultural stakeholders via a
platform designed with their needs and values in mind. The key outcome
of this work is an innovative, responsive system foundation that can
empower agricultural stakeholders to make data-driven plant disease
management decisions, while serving as a framework for others pursuing
use-inspired application development for agriculture to follow that
ensures social impact and reproducibility while preserving stakeholder
privacy.

Published: December 2022

Purpose: High sensitivity is among the risk factors that increase psychological burden, increasing the risk of suicide in some people. The aim of the study was to develop a Korean version of the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) scale and investigate its psychometric properties. Diagnostic validity was evaluated to identify those with high suicidal risk.Methods: A total of 176 participants were recruited from the 12 hospital-based Crisis Response Centers across South Korea. As a case-control study, we used two groups: suicidal risk group and control group. Those with suicidal ideation or attempts were classified as suicidal risk group, and the control group sample were recruited from the Crisis Response Centers workers. Tests for internal consistency and concurrent validity with other scales were conducted.Results: Results showed strong item-total correlation and concurrent validity. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed an area under the curve of 0.881. The HSP cutoff score of 13 yielded the best balance between sensitivity (74%) and specificity (87%). Construct validity was supported by a one-factor model using exploratory factor analysis.Conclusion: Overall, the current study supports the use of HSP in psychiatric settings as a valid screening tool for suicidal risk.

A 35-year-old Syrian patient presented to our department complaining of 7-year history of asymptomatic hard swelling in right side of the frontotemporal and naso-orbito-ethmoidal region, reaching the contralateral side (Panels A and B). Patient stated that from 1 year back his visual acuity has been decreased compared with the previous 6 years. Computed tomography (CT) with contrast (Panels C–F) showed diffuse bony expansion involving the frontal bones bilaterally. Bone expansion was more on the right side extending into the vertical plates as well as the horizontal plates forming the roof extending to involve the cribriform plates and into the crista galli extending posteriorly to involve the sphenoid bone including the body, greater and lesser wings of the sphenoid bone as well as the clinoid processes ends extending to the roots of the pterygoid plates. Multidisciplinary decision team meeting was done, with neurosurgery, anesthesiology, and maxillofacial surgery to decide the treatment. Under the general anesthesia the patient underwent remodeling and recontouring of the facial and cranial bones through bilateral occipital approach. Using the unilateral fronto-temporal extradural approach and retracting the dura and reaching the base of the skull the anterior clinoidectomy for optic nerve decompression was performed. Right clinoid process surgery reshaped the base of the skull releasing the bone which compressed the right orbital nerve. Affected bone which involved the frontotemporal area was removed and reconstruction was performed with cranioplasty fixed with osteosynthesis to the adjacent and healthy bony structures. The resected bone was submitted to Hamad general hospital histopathology laboratory which reported following fixation and decalcification irregular shaped trabeculae of immature woven bone scattered in a loosely hypercellular stroma histopathological diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia (Panels G and H: H&E staining). After 5 days of medical management as inpatient, the patient was discharge with close follow up. Patient was followed up in a weekly basis with a normal postoperative status. 5 months after the surgery (Panel I, photography on postoperative day 120 showed remanent dystopia but generalized acceptable craniofacial projection), patient stated to have improvement in his visual acuity compared to his base line as well as craniofacial projection with a remanent vertical dystopia. Panels J and K compare preoperative CT (Panel J) where anterior clinoid process involved with the pathology is noted and postoperative CT (Panel K) which reveals removal of anterior clinoid process for orbital nerve decompression.
