Published: March 2023

Earias vittella is a serious polyphagous agricultural pest that can directly or indirectly damage crops and stored products worldwide. Using synthetic chemicals in pest control has resulted in physiological resistance and adverse environmental effects. However, this alternative to plant-based pest control systems is ecologically friendly and biodegradable. Moreover, Euphorbia cyathophora is a medicinal plant used for many therapeutic activities. Therefore, the present study is aimed at E. cyathophora leaf extract evaluation of the phytochemical, in vitro antimicrobial, larvicidal, and pupal activity of E. vittella. A preliminary phytochemical screening of E. cyathophora leaf extracts revealed numerous bioactive components such as alkaloids, flavonoids, sterols, terpenoids, anthraquinones, carbohydrates, and essential oils. GC-MS analysis of E. cyathophora leaf different extracts revealed the presence of 29 phytochemicals. Among the extracts tested, the methanolic leaf extract showed the highest range of growth inhibition against gram-positive bacteria Streptococcus iniae (15 ± 0.26) and gram-negative bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila (13 ± 0.6), while antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus (14 ± 0.2) and Aspergillus niger (12 ± 0.36) compared to other solvent extracts. In addition, the bioefficacy of E.Cyathophora leaf extract treated against IV instar larvae and pupae of E. vittella; however, the highest larval and pupal mortality was observed in the methanol extract at 750 ppm, followed by acetone and chloroform against E. vittella. Larvicidal activity of E. cyathophora leaf extracts showed LC50 and LC90 values: methanol 298.64 ppm (708.14); Acetone 362.61 ppm (848.56), and chloroform 415.18 ppm (937.31), respectively. Similarly, thepupicidal effect of E. Cyathophora leaf extracts showed LC50 and LC90 values: methanol 470.25 ppm (958.01); acetone 527.36 ppm (996.35) and chloroform 545.55 ppm (997.88). This study strongly suggests that E. cyathophora leaf extract exhibited significant larval and pupal mortality and potential antimicrobial activity, which can be observed as the development of a new botanical preparation for economic pest control.

Published: March 2023

An open-ended problem in learning mathematics is a problem with more than one answer or method of solving. In solving open-ended problems in learning mathematics, one of the abilities students must use is decision-making ability. Each student has a variety of capacities, so this study aims to determine students' decision-making abilities in solving open-ended problems in learning mathematics. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research. The subjects of this study were four students with different numbers of correct answers in working on open-ended problems. Data collection was carried out using tests and interviews. The results showed that (1) the decision-making ability of the subject who answers correctly for both problems is complete because they fulfill all indicators, the subject can identify goals, make decisions, evaluate the results of determination, and present and remember between problems with things known to the problem and related to decisions that have been taken correctly; (2) decision-making ability for subjects with wrong answers on one number or two numbers is incomplete because they only fulfilled two indicators, the subject can identify goals, make decisions, is less able to evaluate decision results and present and remember between problems with things known to the problem, and related to decisions that have been taken with correct. Mathematics teachers should often reinforce students to practice operating integers because it is a prerequisite for learning mathematics at the middle and high school levels.

Objectives Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) is a
pregnancy complication that increases the risk of preterm delivery and
cesarean delivery. This study aimed to investigate whether maternal
blood monocyte or neutrophil counts in the first trimester are related
to the development of HDP. Design, Setting and Sample Data were
collected from the Japan Environment and Children’s Study, a large birth
cohort study (n = 38194) that recruited pregnant women in 15 Regional
Centers across Japan between January 2011 and March 2014. The maternal
neutrophil and monocyte counts in the first trimester were divided into
quartiles. Results Compared with pregnant women with low
neutrophil counts, those with high neutrophil counts had higher adjusted
odds ratio (aOR) for both mild HDP (aOR [95% confidence interval]:
Q4: 1.29 [1.06–1.58]) and severe HDP (aOR [95% CI]; Q2: 1.49
[1.07–2.08], Q3: 1.40 [1.00–1.95], and Q4: 1.47
[1.06–2.03]). Furthermore, compared with pregnant women with lower
monocyte counts, those with higher monocyte counts also had higher aOR
for both moderate HDP (aOR [95% CI]; Q2: 1.28 [1.02–1.60], Q3:
1.42 [1.14–1.77], and Q4: 1.49 [1.20–1.85]) and severe HDP
(aOR [95% CI]; Q2: 1.33 [1.06–1.66], Q3: 1.46
[1.17–1.82], and Q4: 1.52 [1.22–1.89]). Conclusion In
conclusion, high leukocyte counts, especially high monocyte count, in
the first trimester is associated with a development of HDP. Thus, they
may be used to predict subsequent HDP.

Background: Pregnancies complicated with antepartum-haemorrhage is high risk pregnancies associated with adverse maternal, fetal-and-perinatal-outcomes. It contributes significantly to fetal and maternal mortality especially in the developing countries. Proper antenatal care and prompt intervention is necessary to forestall adverse and improve outcome. Objective: To determine the prevalence, sociodemographic characteristics, risk factors, fetomaternal outcome of pregnancies with antepartum haemorrhage. Methods: The case files of the patients were retrieved from the medical records department. The total number of deliveries within the study period was obtained from the labour ward records. The feto-maternal-outcome-measures were; prevalence of caesarean-section, postpartum-haemorrhage, hysterectomy, need for blood-transfusion, maternal-death, prematurity, need for admission in intensive-care-unit and still births. The data was analysed using SPSS version 21. Chi-square was used to test for significance. Results: Within the 5-year period under review, out of a total of 6974 deliveries, 234 had antepartum-haemorrhage (3.4% prevalence rate). Abruptio-placentae was the commonest cause and accounted for 69.5% of the cases (prevalence of 2.1%) while placenta praevia accounted for 28.2% of the cases (prevalence rate of 0.9%). The mean age of the women was 31.8±5.3 years. The mean parity was 3.4±1.7 and majority (63.8%) of the women were unbooked. The commonest identifiable risk factors were multiparity and advanced maternal age. One-hundred-and sixty-six (77.9%) women were delivered through the abdominal route. Postpartum-haemorrhage occurred in 22.1% (47) of the cases while prematurity was the commonest fetal complications. Maternal mortality was 0.47% (1) while still birth was 44.1% (94). Conclusion: There is high prevalence of antepartum-haemorrhage in our environment. Abruptio-placentae was the commonest cause and associated with significant adverse fetomaternal-outcome when compared with placenta-praevia. Thus, good and quality antenatal care as well as high index of suspicion, prompt diagnosis and treatment remain the key to forestall these complications and improve fetomaternal-outcome.

Skin manifestations have always been alarming to the patient and often warrant complete clinical evaluation. A thorough understanding of relationship between gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and skin diseases can alert the clinician to an underlying occult GI disorder. The aim of the study was to review the cutaneous changes in patients with co-existent, often masked GI diseases and to observe the underlying pathophysiology of such lesions. This was a retrospective, record based observational study. The archived histopathology reports & medical records of patients over a period of 5 years were searched and all patients who underwent skin biopsy with co-existent GI diseases were included. Out of a total of 218 patients of GI diseases who had dermatological manifestations, only 44 were biopsied. Pruritis (n=175), koilonychia (n=52) and erythematous rash (n=35) were the most common clinical features. Psoriasis (n=4), vasculitis (n=4), Dermatitis Herpetiformis (n=3) and pyoderma gangrenosum (n=5) were often seen associated with benign GI diseases like Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Chronic Liver Disease, Malabsorption syndrome etc. Sweets syndrome (n=2) and cutaneous metastatic nodules (n=3) were associated with underlying malignancy particularly of gall bladder and pancreas.

The purpose of the current experiment was to determine the anti-convulsant activity of methanolic extract of Plumbago indica L.  In a 50 ml beaker 200 mg of the methanolic extract of Plumbago indica L. was dissolved in water containing the experimental zebrafish. After about 20 minutes the fish was administered with pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) (30 mg in 0.5 ml water) intraperitoneally (i.p) to induce seizure in it. The experimental zebrafish immersed in methanolic extract of Plumbago indica L. and administered with PTZ i.p showed clonic seizure-like activity within a few seconds of administering the PTZ. After about 15 minutes, the experimental zebrafish was found to swim normally i.e., short swim at the top of the tank with no seizure activity. The behavioral profile during 15 minutes of immersion into methanolic extract of Plumbago indica L. and then intraperitoneum (i.p) administration of PTZ was characterized by stages defined as scores: (0) short swim (top of the tank), (1) increased swimming activity, (2) burst swimming (left and right movements), (3) circular movements, (4) clonic seizure-like behavior, (5) fall to the bottom of the tank and tonic seizure-like behavior, (6) death. To attain all scores, zebrafish was exposed to anti-convulsants and administered with PTZ showed varying seizure profiles, severity, and latencies. The study's findings revealed that Plumbago indica L. has significant pharmacological properties. Methanolic extract of Plumbago indica L. has a notable CNS depressive and anti-convulsant effect.

The sample members were divided into two groups (experimental and control), and the data were processed in the statistical program IBM SPSS 24 using the t-test for independent samples before and after the intervention with a significance level of (p <.05).  The survey showed that the performance of the participants was improved in tennis in the forehand, backhand and service in both teams (especially in the E.G.), after finding a statistically significant difference in the scores (increasing the mean of consecutive strokes and accuracy). In the second part of the research, the sample consisted of 408 students aged 12-15, 204 students in High Schools of the Municipalities of Tanagra and Chalkida, as well as 204 from tennis clubs of the Municipalities of Larissa, Chalkida and Thebes. A detailed plan of one hour reciprocal teaching was applied to the 3 main aforementioned tennis strokes and at the end the participants were given as a measuring tool, anonymously and confidentially the questionnaire of Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) by McAuley et al. (1989). Data processing in IBM SPSS 24 via one-way variance analysis (One-Way Anova) gave the results: There is a statistically significant difference between the first-grade and second-grade High School classes in the effort which is due to a systematic factor and the pleasure, the perceived ability, the pressure, the attitude / opinion towards tennis, the intention to try tennis and the physical activity are influenced by the highest level of education completed by the father.

Published: March 2023

Urban plazas provide opportunities for children to play, learn and explore. In particular, public art in urban plazas can be a medium to absorb more children. This research has developed the Inclusive Urban Plaza Design (IUPD) assessment tool, which complies with the principles and features of urban plaza design based on the children’s preferences, needs, wishes, and perceptions for their healthy growth. The AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) decision-making method was applied to measure the weights of the feature. AHP analysis determined that motor skills (W
C1.1 = 0.127) have the highest impact on children’s growth among all sub-criteria, followed by space shape and size (W
C2.1 = 0.100) and cognitive development (W
C1.6 = 0.097). The IUPD toolkit was implemented in Vivacity plaza in Singapore to be validated. The implementation analysis showed that Vivacity plaza was a ‘gold’ grade. It is a well-designed urban plaza that supports children’s growth through interaction with various shapes, colors, textures, and materials (like sand and water) that children love. However, it needs minor improvements in terms of inventiveness and creativity (WSMC1.4 = 0.65), cognitive development (WSMC1.4 = 0.57), and time and program schedule (WSMC2.7 = 0.65). The IUPD toolkit showed to be a universal tool that can evaluate the performance of urban plazas in children’s growth.

Byrsonima crassifolia L. Kunth is a plant native to the Americas that grows in tropical and subtropical areas. Fresh B. crassifolia fruits are a good source of ascorbic acid and carotenoids and contain volatile compounds such as butyric and caproic acids. Although B. crassifolia is commonly exploited from wild natural ecosystems, it exhibits the potential to become a crop plant. When optimal agronomic management systems support propagation by seed, fruits with more homogeneous characteristics can be produced compared to those obtained from wild or backyard plants. B. crassifolia fruits can be found in local markets in Central and South America. The pulp, peel, and other B. crassifolia fruit components can be processed to make traditional and innovative food products, namely candies, cookies, cakes, candied fruits, ice creams, sorbets, jellies, juices, liqueurs, jams, nectars, pickles, and fruit drinks as an alternative to avoid the waste of overripe fruits. Additionally, the woody fraction of the B. crassifolia tree is used as a source of firewood, as shade, and for constructing living fences. These uses also allow the maximum use of biomass by establishing support for cultivation with the circular economy and strengthening food security. Therefore, this review aims to provide insights into the generation and dissemination of knowledge supporting the development of strategies in the areas of agronomy, postharvest management, and technological processing of B. crassifolia to promote its sustainable use and exploitation.

Authors: Issa Helmi , Lakkis Hussein , Dakroub Roy , Jaber Jad
Published: March 2023

Purpose

Agricultural technologies (agri-techs) have focused on developing the AI perspective of human-AI interaction rather than human perceptions and responses. A lack of understanding of their employees’ behavioral responses when interacting with advanced technologies can lead to unexpected problems in the future. Drawing on the theoretical perspective of advanced user engagement, this paper examines the impact of five different technostressors on user engagement and, consequently, user experience.

Design/methodology/approach

For data collection, 464 participants from the U.S. and Asian (Singaporean) agri-tech sectors were interviewed via an electronic survey.

Findings

The U.S. study showed that techno-overload, techno-complexity, and techno-uncertainty were positively related to user engagement (t = 2.609; t = 6.998, and t = 6.013, respectively), whereas techno-invasion and techno-uncertainty were negatively correlated with user engagement (t = –2.167 and t = –3.119, respectively). The Singapore study showed that techno-overload, techno-complexity, and techno-invasion were negatively related to user engagement (t = –2.185, t = –2.765; t = –5.062, respectively), while techno-insecurity and techno-uncertainty surprisingly showed nonlinear correlations with user engagement. In both studies, user engagement is positively related to user experience (t = 2.009 for the U.S. study and t = 2.887 for the Singapore study).

Originality/value

First, this paper provides agri-techs with a modern framework to better predict the behavioral responses of their employees when managing AI. Second, this paper expands the equation of change in the discipline of change management by introducing the dimension of readiness.
Single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography imaging of gouty arthritis: A new voice
Authors: Wang Yan , Zha Yan , Liu Lin , Liao Ang , Dong Ziqiang , Roberts Neil , Li Yaying
Published: March 2023

Gouty arthritis, often referred to simply as gout, is a disorder of purine metabolism characterized by the deposition of monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) crystals in multiple systems and organs, especially in joints and their surrounding soft tissue. Gout is a treatable chronic disease, and the main strategy for effective management is to reverse the deposition of MSU crystals by uric acid reduction, and to prevent gout attacks, tophi deposition and complications, and thereby improve the quality of life. However, the frequent association of gout with other conditions such as hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney stones can complicate the treatment of gout and lead to premature death. Here, we review the use of medical imaging techniques for studying gouty arthritis with special interest in the potential role of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) in the clinical management of gout and complications (e.g., chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease).

Published: March 2023

Introduction: This paper describes the results of research aimed at developing a method of otolaryngological diagnosis based on computational fluid dynamics, which has been called Virtual Rhinomanometry.

Material and methods: Laboratory studies of airflows through a 3D printed model of nasal cavities based on computed tomography image analysis have been performed. The CFD results have been compared with those of an examination of airflow through nasal cavities (rhinomanometry) of a group of 25 patients.

Results: The possibilities of simplifying model geometry for CFD calculations have been described, the impact of CT image segmentation on geometric model accuracy and CFD simulation errors have been analysed, and recommendations for future research have been described.

Conclusions: The measurement uncertainty of the nasal cavities’ walls has a significant impact on CFD simulations. The CFD simulations better approximate RMM results of patients after anemization, as the influence of the nasal mucosa on airflow is then reduced. A minor change in the geometry of the nasal cavities (within the range of reconstruction errors by CT image segmentation) has a major impact on the results of CFD simulations.
May thermal imaging be useful in early diagnosis of lower extremities chronic venous disease?
Authors: Kajewska Joanna , Stanek Agata , Sieroń Karolina , Cholewka Armand
Published: March 2023

Introduction: World statistics confirmed that about 40-50% of men and 50-55% of women suffer from chronic venous disease. Currently, the Duplex ultrasound is the leading diagnostic method for chronic venous disease (CVD), but it has some limitations. Therefore, it is important to find a new diagnostic technique that will provide additional parameters, describing not only structural but also early metabolic and functional changes.

Materials and Methods: This study aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of the thermal imaging technique in the diagnosis of chronic venous disease. Results were obtained for two groups: 61 patients suffering from the primary chronic venous disease (CVD group) and 30 healthy people (control group). The obtained results compared the thermal imaging parameters to data obtained from the ultrasound examination. Parameters such as the reflux duration and extent of the CEAP classification were correlated with the mean temperature of the limb, the mean temperature of the lesion (determined using two methods), and the thermal range. Based on data obtained during the study, correlation coefficients were calculated for individual parameters.

Results: The results obtained show that the mean limb temperature, and especially the mean temperature of a proposed isothermal area, is significantly correlated with the range of reflux. The conducted tests showed the correlation between some thermal and ultrasonic parameters determined by Spearman's coefficient is 0.4 (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: Thus, parameters such as the isothermal area and the thermal range may be used as a preliminary quantitative diagnosis, similarly to those derived from the Duplex ultrasound.

Authors: Soderquist Melissa C. , Ren Emily , Kadakia Esha R. , Solarz Mark
Published: March 2023

Objectives:

Septic arthritis is an orthopedic emergency, delayed treatment results in rapid, and irreversible joint destruction with significant morbidity and mortality. The correlation between the infectious organism(s) isolated from blood and synovial fluid remains unclear. Native joint septic arthritis (NJSA) is often secondary to bacteremia and other contiguous sources of infection. This investigation examined the correlation in infectious organisms between blood and synovial fluid in patients with NJSA and concurrent bacteremia.

Methods:

A retrospective chart review was performed on 712 NJSA cases at an urban, level-one trauma center. Patients diagnosed with septic knee arthritis through synovial fluid analysis with white blood cell count >50,000 and/or positive culture from the knee joint on aspiration were included in the study. The organism identified on blood culture in the bacteremic patient was then correlated to the organism found on synovial fluid analysis.

Results:

We identified 104 patients at our institution with septic knees; 48 with bacteremia and 56 that did not have bacteremia. Of these patients with bacteremia, 34 patients (70.8%) had the same organism isolated in the knee and the blood. This correlation was statistically significant, with P = 0.003. Furthermore, patients with bacteremia underwent a mean of 1.85 ± 0.76 debridement procedures versus 1.21 ± 0.80 procedures in those without (P = 0.001).

Conclusion:

This study shows a correlation between the organism isolated from the knee and the blood in patients with NJSA in conjunction with bacteremia as well as a correlation between the bacteremic patient and the number of surgical interventions required per patient.
General diversity of marbled eel (Anguilla marmorata) population in central of Vietnam, based on 16S rRNA sequences by barcode DNA
Authors: Huyen Kieu Thi , Long Dang Thanh , Linh Nguyen Quang
Published: March 2023

The marbled eel has a distribution with great profitable, ecological and conservative values. Studies on the biology, population structure and phylogenetic of marbled eel are still incomplete. The research uses the large subunit ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) of mitochondrial sequences to evaluate the genetic diversity populations of marbled eels living in the different ecosystems the regions in Central Vietnam. There are 7 polymorphic sites. 8 haplotypes, haplotype diversity (Hd) = 0.534 ± 0.079 and nucleotide diversity (π) = 99 x 10-3 were identified. The negative values are based on analysis of the neutrality tests, Strobeck’s S (S) values between individuals in populations = 0.00 to 1.000 and the genetic intraspecific distance between (Fst) individuals are in the population = 0.0000 – 0.0032 (mean = 0.0010). The individuals in the population signs of recent population expansion. A random pattern of genetic evolution with a high probability of occurrence of rare alleles as populations expand geographically has been found in the population. All marbled eels collected from Central Vietnam were genetically closely related. This result lays the foundation for the conservation strategy of the species germplasm resources and develops this species in Central Vietnam.
