Plant Virus Interaction: Layers of Plant Antiviral Immunity
Authors: Noronha Souza Pedro Filho
Published: November 2019

Plant defense mechanisms are divided into two phases; (1) the Pathogen-Triggered Immunity (PTI), which is basal resistance and; (2) Effector-Triggered Immunity (ETI) or induced resistance, the second line of defense of plants [1,2]. The PTI response is rapidly active by plants after recognizing pathogens effectors, which could be MAMPS or PAMPs (Microbe/pathogen-associated molecular patterns, e.g., bacterial flagellin), DAMPs (Damage-associated molecular patterns, e.g., fungal haustorium), and VAMPs (Viral-associated molecular patterns, e.g., double-stranded RNA of viruses). The recognition of pathogens effectors is performed by Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRR) [3-6].

Evaluation on the improvement of the soil properties were carried out during the growing season through monitoring the changes on soil texture and structure, saturation percentage, bulk density, soil pH and soil salinity. Clods formation occurred at all of the treatments at the harvest time an indication of negative structure improvement due to field trafficking for soil ridging, and spraying during the growing season. The clods samples contained higher %calcium carbonate and higher level of % (Silt+Clay) and less %sand than normal soil samples. Bulk density in the sand treatment was 1.41 gram/cm3 which was significantly higher than the other treatments which ranged 1.13 - 1.19 gram/cm3. Saturation percentage increased at all of the treatments over the period of the experiment from 21 to 31 an indication of significant improvement on the soil water holding capacity. Salinity as measured by the soil Ec was significantly increased over the period of the experiment due to fertilizer application, and salinity at the cow manure treatment was higher than other treatments due to high salt level in the cow manure which reached an Ec average of 5.57 mS/cm over the period of the experiment. Chloride and bicarbonate levels were high and increased on all of the treatments at most sampling occasions of the trial, and sodium level was within the acceptable level.
The under appreciated need for maternal and newborn immunization: call to action
Authors: D FRENKEL Lawrence
Published: November 2019

In spite of clear evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of maternal and neonatal immunization, the accetance of maternal influenza and pertussis immunization and neonatal Hepatitis B vaccination has been disappointingly slow to reach optimal levels in the United States. Maternal influenza disease is associated with increased birth defects, premature delivery, and the delivery of small for gestational age infants. Influenza immunization has been recommended for all women who are or will be pregnant, regardless of trimester, during influenza season (October through May), but only about half receive them. Concerns about influenza immunization clearly overlook the solid data regarding the overall association between influenza immunization and decreased mortality and morbidity for both mothers and infants. Pertissis disease in infants under 2 months of age is associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality. Pertussis incidence in the US has seen a significant increase in the past two decades in most age groups including that of parents and siblings. Recommended attempts to decrease infant pertussis infection include both maternal immunization and immunization of individuals who are expected to come in contact with these newborn infants (cocooning). Transmission of maternal Hepatitis B infection to their infants is associated with a significant incidence of chronic disease with subsequent cirrhosis and death. The administration of both Hepatitis B immune globulin and a “birth dose” of Hepatitis B vaccine have been demonstrated to be very safe and effective in preventing infant acquisition of Hepatitis B infection from infected mothers. A birth dose of Hepatitis B vaccine should be administered to every newborn.

Twin pregnancy with one live fetus and one complete mole, also known as CMCF i.e. complete molar pregnancy with coexisting live fetus is a rare entity in obstetrics. This combination is associated with increased incidences of spontaneous abortions, vaginal bleeding, prematurity, intrauterine demise, pre-eclampsia, uterine ruptures, theca lutein cysts, persistent gestational trophoblastic disease. We report a rare case of a 24-year-old patient with CMCF at 14 weeks of gestation. After confirming the diagnosis, ruling out malignancy and proper counselling, decision was taken to continue her pregnancy. However, the patient had spontaneous abortion at 15 weeks of gestation. Her serum beta Hcg has shown a decreasing trend in her follow up visits with no signs suggestive of persistent gestational trophoblastic disease.
Female Genital Mutilation: A hope for its end. An Overview
Authors: Grácio Maria A , Grácio António J Santos
Published: November 2019

During human history we found several procedures which can be considered as strong attacks on the physical and psychological integrity of human communities. Amongst these procedures are male and female genital mutilation. We have selected for this manuscript female genital mutilation (FGM) because we have personal knowledge of this practice in Africa and as there is today a growing perception on the necessity of to stop FGM, we want to share our experience of the knowledge of FGM. Effectively, some years ago, when we were working in research projects in Angola (West Africa) we were present at ceremonies (not the act) of female genital mutilation (FGM, whose popular name in Angola is “fanado”) by invitation of the community where the FGM was carried out, and we can transmit the following : (i) the images then seen remain in our memory -men, women and the young had vestments with many colors and adornments of metal, straw etc, were singing and dancing with strong energy ; (ii) the girls were stressed and fearful, thinking of their future suffering. Then, in this context, here we have as:1) general objective: to give our modest contribution to reinforce the necessity to end with the FGM practice, in that the dignity and rights of all girls are not respected; 2) particular objectives: (i) to show the negative repercussion of the FGM on girls concerning their physical and psychological health, since we are convinced that a genuine awareness of the gravity of the problems is an essential pre-condition for the implementation of any tangible measures for its end; (ii) to transmit the actual hope for the end of this procedure, considering, principally, that on 6 February 2019, WHO joins individuals, organizations, and UN partners worldwide in marking the International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM [1]. To reach our objectives, we have selected information that we have considered as more relevant in the context of an edital.
Using Vegetable-Oil-Based Sustainable Metal Working Fluids to Promote Green Manufacturing
Authors: Shaikh Vasim A , Boubekri Nourredine
Published: November 2019

The ever-increasing awareness of the environmental and health hazards of petroleum and mineral-oil-based metalworking fluids (MWFs) is forcing the scientist and tribologists to develop alternative MWFs. Mineral and petroleum-oil based MWFs are also considered non-biodegradable which hinders their successful implementation in metal machining which requires regular disposal of used cutting fluids. On the other hand, vegetable-oil based MWFs are considered as sustainable green metalworking fluids/lubricants which are biodegradable and have superior cooling and lubricating properties. A review is done on current literature which shows that vegetable-oil based MWFs are not only better alternatives considering its eco-friendly nature but also offers better machining performance by enhancing the cutting tool lifetime and minimizing the cutting tool/workpiece interface temperature, friction and surface roughness. Different cutting methods like dry machining, flood cutting, and minimum quantity lubrication techniques are compared for a better understanding of the reported studies.

Toxoplasma gondii is a major neglected parasitic infection occurring in settings of extreme poverty in Africa. Apart from causing reproductive failure in animals it is also a significant zoonotic concern. The objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and associated risk factors of T. gondii infection in cats, chickens, goats, sheep and pigs in the southeast of South Africa, of which little is known. Sera was obtained from 601 domestic animals including 109 cats, 137 chickens, 128 goats, 121 sheep and 106 pigs managed under different production systems in different agro-ecological regions and evaluated by the Toxoreagent, a latex agglutination test for T. gondii antibody detection. Household-level and animal-level data were collected by interviewing animal owners and/or herders using a closed-ended questionnaire. The study revealed an overall farm seroprevalence of 83.33% (125/150 farms) with the highest rate of infection for the parasite found in sheep with 64.46% (78/121), followed by goats with 53.91% (69/128), pigs with 33.96% (36/106), cats with 32.11% (35/109 cats) and chickens with 33.58% (46/137). The risk factors that were found to be statistically significant (p 0.05) to different species of seropositivites were age, location, climate, animal production system, rodent control, seropositive cat, cat-feed access and cat faecal disposal. The relatively high seroprevalence of T. gondii detected in this region suggests that domestic animals may pose a substantial public health risk through the consumption of T. gondii-infected raw meat as well as via contact with cat faeces.

We herein report the first case of Mediterranean glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variant from Bangladesh. A boy had been admitted to hospital and was diagnosed with uncomplicated Plasmodium vivax infection and treated with 30 mg/kg body weight (BW) chloroquine for 3 days and 4.8 mg/kg BW primaquine (PQ) to be taken over 14 days. The boy was discharged but represented 4 days later with severe hemoglobinuria and fatigue. Hemoglobin was measured at 6.0 g/dL and serum bilirubin was at 5.6 mg/dL, although malaria microscopy was negative. The boy had taken the 4-fold recommended daily dose of PQ and was treated with two fresh blood transfusions. Subsequent molecular analysis showed the boy to have the Mediterranean G6PD variant and a G6PD activity of 0.93 U/gHb.
Surgical Management of Scaphotrapeziotrapezoid Arthritis

Published: November 2019

Scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) arthritis occurs commonly with basal joint arthritis, but can also occur in isolation or in conjunction with other patterns of wrist arthritis, such as scapholunate advanced collapse. Surgical options depend on the specific clinical scenario encountered. Isolated STT arthritis was classically managed with arthrodesis, but is now often addressed with distal scaphoid resection (open or arthroscopic), trapeziectomy (partial or complete) and partial trapezoid resection, or implant arthroplasty. Development of postoperative dorsal intercalary segment instability is a notable concern with any of these techniques. STT arthritis in conjunction with basal joint arthritis can be managed effectively with trapeziectomy and either partial trapezoid excision or distal scaphoid excision. STT arthritis with scapholunate advanced collapse is uncommon, but can be managed with proximal row carpectomy or scaphoidectomy and four-corner fusion. If basal joint arthritis is also present, trapeziectomy can additionally be performed, but grip strength is likely to be substantially diminished.
The Syntax of Sluicing in Omani Arabic
Authors: Algryani Ali
Published: November 2019

This study examines the syntax of sluicing in Omani Arabic to uncover its morpho-syntactic properties and underlying source. It also attempts to account for the apparent preposition stranding (p-stranding) effects displayed by Omani Arabic sluicing, which indicates that the language is a counterexample to the p-stranding generalisation (Merchant, 2001). The paper concludes that sluicing exists in the language and it is derived from regular wh-questions by wh-movement and TP ellipsis at PF. Furthermore, Omani Arabic displays pseudo-sluicing (i.e., an elliptical cleft wh-question), which can also be derived via wh-movement from spec-TP to spec-CP plus TP deletion at PF. Finally, the study argues that the apparent cases of sluicing under p-stranding are actually pseudo-sluicing. The drop of copular pronouns in the sluiced clause and omission of the preposition with the relative clause lead to the illusion that sluicing in Omani Arabic exhibits p-stranding effects.
The Use of Offer and Acceptance and their Commissive Implication in the Sulha Tribunal
Authors: Alidmat Ali Odeh Hammoud , Ayassrah Mohamed Ayed
Published: November 2019

This article focuses on the analysis of enactment of speech acts of offer and acceptance and their commissive effects in carrying out Sulha informal legal processes. Sulha is a method of resolving disputes used in the Middle East. These processes of Sulha are understood to operate within traditions set by communities that use the process in solving disputes. Just as formal legal processes, the success of a Sulha process is dependent on legal performative of a language used to carry out Sulha tribunals. This is based on the fact that it is through language that informal legal acts are enacted. The study is grounded on the Jordanian Bedouin dialect used in conducting Sulha tribunals whose translation equivalences are given in English. Data are collected through audio-recording which is backed up with note-taking. The audio-recorded data are then played back to identify the speech acts of offer and acceptance. The identified acts of offer and acceptance are then analyzed within the framework of Searle’s (1979) classification of speech acts. In terms of methodology, the study adopts descriptive research design whereby the speech acts of offer and acceptance are described as they occur in the legal discourses used in the informal legal process, Sulha.
