Introduction: The ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) depends on the amount of energy per minute transferred by the ventilator to the lung measured in Joules, which is called mechanical power. Mechanical power is a development variable probably associated with outcomes in ventilated patients.

Objective: To describe the value of mechanical power in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and ventilated for other causes and its relationship between days of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), and mortality.

Methods: A multicenter, analytical, observational cohort study was conducted in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection who required invasive mechanical ventilation and patients ventilated for other causes for more than 24 hours.

Results: The cohort included 91 patients on mechanical ventilation in three tertiary care centers in the city of Pereira, Colombia. The average value of the mechanical power found was 22.7 ± 1 Joules/min. In the subgroup of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, the value of mechanical power was higher 26.8 ± 9 than in the subgroup of patients without a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection 18.2 ± 1 (p <0.001).

Conclusion: Mechanical power is an important variable to consider during the monitoring of mechanical ventilation. This study found an average value of mechanical power of 22.7 ± 1 Joules/min, being higher in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection related to longer days of mechanical ventilation and a longer stay in the ICU.

This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of climate change and wastewater usage in Cyprus. Focusing on water resources, the study was done in Cyprus. The significance of selecting Cyprus as our case study arises from the fact that it is not only one of the Mediterranean Sea countries worldwide with water resource concerns but also faces a serious danger of drought in the next years. Documentary analysis and summation of what numerous sources mentioned regarding the freshwater situation in Cyprus were used to collect data. The objective of this research was to understand the water resources available in Cyprus and the quality of fresh water, then to examine the practices and mechanisms of freshwater resource management in Cyprus, and finally to investigate the challenges faced by various water resources in Cyprus and the various means to overcome them. The initial objective was to determine the different water resources in Cyprus. Second, we analyzed the many strategies employed to manage these resources and the diverse management structures in Cyprus. In light of the foregoing, this study's main objective was to understand climate change and wastewater utilization better. Thus, linking formal and informal institutions in the management of these water resources, as well as the issues and solutions they face in dealing with salt water. Water conservation is not an individual concern. All parties are involved, including the government, non-governmental groups, local inhabitants, and all stakeholders, with differing opinions.

. В связи с расширением области применения железобетонных конструкций особую актуальность приобрела разработка рациональной технологии контактной сварки арматуры железобетона диаметром около 10 мм. Особенно уделяется большое внимание контактной сварке металлической сетки из перекрещивающихся круглых стержней как с одинаковыми, так с и разными диаметрами. Установлена зависимость между осадкой и размерами контактной поверхности, которая не распространяется на деформацию стержней при сварке. Пластические свойства, вследствие неравномерного разогрева металла, резко меняются в направлении действия сжимающего усилия. Установлено, что условия пластического деформирования стержней при сварке отличаются от условий деформирования однородных стержней с одинаковыми по всему объему свойствами. Площадь контакта с увеличением осадки возрастает более интенсивно, чем при обмятии холодных стержней.

Ensaio sobre o superego invejoso
Authors: Marraccini Eliane Michelini
Published: September 2022

Este ensaio consiste em uma tentativa de compreender a complexa e intrigante dinâmica psíquica entre ego e superego, assim como as relações de objeto internas e externas sob a égide da inveja primária, revelando a estruturação de um superego que além de cruel e tirânico é fundamentalmente invejoso, com ação negativa e fundamentalmente destrutiva em relação ao ego. Um funcionamento psíquico de fixações na primitiva relação de objeto que obstaculiza a introjeção do bom objeto, impede o fortalecimento egóico, assim como a realização dos potenciais recursos subjetivos e o usufruir de relações gratificantes e saudáveis com seus objetos. Um caso clínico é ilustrativo da extensão da ferida narcísica, do profundo ressentimento e dos ataques destrutivos que entram em cena quando a inveja se apresenta na relação analítica, especialmente o superego invejoso produzindo efeitos destacados na transferência e contratransferência.

A field experiment was conducted at research farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana during winter (rabi) season 2018–19 and 2019–20 with an objective to study the polymers with irrigation effect on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop. The research was done in a split-plot design with four irrigation [(No irrigation (I0), One irrigation at CRI stage, crown root initiation stage; (I1), Two irrigation at CRI, Booting (I2), Three irrigation at CRI, Booting, milking (I3)] and three polymer treatments [(No polymers (P0), Gondkatira @5 kg/ha (P1), Pusa Hydrogel @2.5 kg/ha (P2)] in the main and subplot respectively. The wheat seed yield decreased by 11.90% from I3 to I2, 17.12% from I3 to I1, and 33.74% from I3 to I0. The polymer treatment was used to increase the wheat seed yield. The yield was increased by 7.41% and 1.15% by application of hydrogel and gondkatira over no polymer. The minimum water productivity was registered under three irrigations. The application of gondkatira in wheat increased the water productivity by 8.09% while hydrogel 11.56%. Water stress or no irrigation has a lower Fv/Fm (Maximum quantum efficiency of PS II) (0.73) ratio than to no stress or three irrigations (0.75).
Alternaria leaf blight (Alternaria spp.) – an emerging foliar fungal disease of winter-summer groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) : A review
Authors: KUMAR NARENDRA , DUTTA RAM , AJAY B C , RADHAKRISHNAN T
Published: September 2022

Alternaria leaf blight of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an economic important foliar fungal disease of winter (rabi)-summer groundnut. It is not only distributed in India, but also in other groundnut growing countries like Nigeria, Vietnam and Thailand. Its severity increases whenever the crop is facing any biotic and abiotic stresses. This disease significantly affects pod and haulm yield of groundnut causing a reduction in the pod (13–22%), haulm yield (24–63%) and kernel quality. In cultivated groundnut, very limited sources of moderate resistance are available to Alternaria leaf blight. Now efforts are being made to identify better and stable sources of resistance in cultivated groundnut germplasm and interspecific derivatives. Although cultural, biological and chemical control measures have been used for the management of Alternaria leaf blight but these involve high costs and time. Growing Alternaria leaf blight resistant cultivars is the most effective way to protect groundnut crop. However, conventional breeding approaches have been successful for developing moderate resistance groundnut varieties for Alternaria leaf blight. This review has made an attempt to consolidate the research developments in Alternaria leaf blight and resistance breeding in groundnut.

Over decades, the total wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production of the country has been able to meet the domestic consumption and export considerable amount of it. APEDA reports the export of 2.26 lakh MT of wheat for the worth of `424.94 crores/60.55 USD Millions during 2018–19. Further increase in production is only possible through varietal replacement with varieties having higher productivity potential in the existing production area through horizontal spread. Two reputed wheat varieties of ICAR-IARI, viz. HD 2967 and HD 3086 with good nutrient content and resistance as well as tolerance to major fungal diseases were distributed among 572 farmers of two villages of Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh respectively, with predominant rice-wheat cropping cycle to assess their acceptance level over space and time among villagers through assessment trials from winter (rabi) season 2014–15 to 2019–20. In selected, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh villages the relative yield advantage of HD 2967 was 21.7% and 19.9%, respectively and of HD 3086 was 17.5% and 14.3%, respectively over the local check. HD 3086 additionally reported bold grain, less lodging and less quality loss in the situation of repeated rainfall in maturity stage. The popularity and acceptance of the varieties were evident by the horizontal spread for HD 2967 i.e. 468.2 ha (Haryana) and 383.2 ha (Uttar Pradesh) from 6 and 6.4 ha, respectively from the winter (rabi) season of 2014–15 to 2019–20. The study re-affirms the philosophy of Farmer-to-Farmers spread of modern technologies including the HYV seeds.

The efficient use and management of natural resources are important factors for success in agricultural farming. An experiment was conducted on round the year fodder production at ICAR-Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur, Rajasthan during 2017–18 to 2019–20 by harvesting rainwater from the rooftop of buildings and irrigating crops using a solar operated water pump though drips and micro-sprinklers for efficient use of harvested water. In the 3 m inter-row spaces of bajra napier hybrid (BNH) variety CO 4, three legumes Vigna unguiculata (cowpea), Clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea) and Lablab purpureus (sem) received 40 and 60 kg P/ha, grown as intercrops during the rainy (kharif) season and lucerne in succession on residual P during winter (rabi) season. Among three kharif legumes, significantly higher green (11.19 t/ha) and dry (1.60 t/ha) fodder yields were recorded with cowpea that received 60 kg P/ha. An average 243.97 t/ha green and 37.55 t/ha dry fodder yields was recorded from the system in which share of BNH in green and dry fodder yield was 67.57 and 61.81% respectively. BNH gave 164.85 and 23.21 t/ha green and dry fodder from six cuts, kharif legumes contributed 7.43 t/ha in the green fodder and 1.12 t/ha in dry fodder from a single cut and lucerne produced 71.53 t/ha green and 10.32 t/ha dry fodder from the seven cuts in a year. This system has the capacity to meet out the green fodder requirement of 4–5 adult cattle unit (ACU) round the year from the land unit of 0.1 ha.

Citrus holds an important place in promoting the horticultural wealth and economy of India. Foot rot caused by Phytophthora spp. is a widespread problem of the citrus nursery. Citrus jambhiri, a widely used rootstock in nursery production, is found susceptible to the Phytophthora spp. Hence, the present study was carried out to evaluate antagonistic activity of Trichoderma spp. isolates against Phytophthora nicotianae var. parasitica causing foot rot in C. jambhiri under lab and net-house conditions. Seven isolates (parent and mutant) of Trichoderma spp. were tested in vitro. Amongst them, T20 mutant (Trichoderma asperellum) exhibited maximum mycoparasitism, volatile activity and non-volatile activity, i.e. 83.70%, 79.26% and 84.81%, respectively. The same T20 mutant (T. Asperellum) also showed maximum glucanase activity, i.e. 1.98 unit/ml. Further, talc-based bio formulations of T. asperellum T20 isolate (parent and mutant) were tested under net-house conditions over a period of two years (2016–2017 and 2017–2018) at the research farm of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab. Amongst all the treatments, the application of T20 mutant (T. asperellum) (seed + soil 15 g) had minimum disease incidence (13.33%), maximum disease control (83.30%) and maximum growth promotion i.e. shoot length (37.67 cm) and root length (30.67 cm). Based on our findings, T. asperellum T20 mutant strain used as seed + soil treatment was able to effectively manage the foot rot, in C. jambhiri nursery under net-house conditions and also promoted the plant growth.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the epidemiological profile of patients aged 60 years or older with AML treated at a referral hospital in the ABC region in Sao Paulo, Brazil, assessing the impact of the therapeutic strategy on the overall survival (OS) of this cohort. METHODs: Descriptive retrospective cohort study evaluating patients treated at Mario Covas State Hospital (HEMCO), for a period of 8 years, divided into groups according to the applied therapy. RESULTS: A total of 44 patients were evaluated. There were no significant differences in OS when groups of patients treated in an intensive and non-intensive way were compared. However, there was a strong tendency, in patients older than 70 years, to present better results when submitted to reduced doses of QT. Regarding mortality, in the first month it was slightly higher in the subgroup of intensive chemotherapy, reflecting mortality related to induction, but the values ​​tend to be equal in the first year. CONCLUSION: The results obtained allow us to know the epidemiological profile and the evolution of the treatment in elderly patients diagnosed with AML treated in a reference unit for acute leukemia in a developing country.

Authors: Jaiswal Annu , Goswami G K , Srivastava S K
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we have investigated an exact solution of Einstein’s field equation of isotropic and homogeneous universe. We have performed $\chi^{2}$ test to obtain the best fit value of model parameters of derived model with its observed values. It is obtained that the best fit values of Hubble constant and density parameters are $H_{0} = 68.13 \pm 1.17$, $(\Omega_{m})_{0} = 0.27 \pm 0.005$ and $(\Omega_{\Lambda})_{0} = 0.718 \pm 0.015$ by bounding the derived model with latest $H(z)$ data while with Pantheon data, its values are $H_{0} = 71.47 \pm 0.53$, $(\Omega_{m})_{0} = 0.276 \pm 0.006$ and $(\Omega_{\Lambda})_{0} = 0.74 \pm 0.01$. The dynamics of deceleration parameter shows that in the derived model, the universe was in decelerating phase for the transition red-shift $z_{t} > 0.723$. At $z_{t} = 0.723$, the present universe has entered in accelerating phase of expansion. The age of current universe is obtained as $13.89 \pm 0.017$ Gyrs which is in good consistency with its value observed by Plank collaboration results and WMAP observations.

Published: September 2022

This article discusses a research study conducted to evaluate whether young students’ educational experiences prior to entering kindergarten affects their accomplishments within the content of English language arts and social development. Data from the Georgia Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (GKIDS) and Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) were analyzed in one high-poverty elementary school over the course of a full academic year. Learning more about students’ early literacy and development can allow teachers to have a much greater understanding of their students’ needs. This, in turn, can benefit all students as they begin their formal educational experiences and as they learn and grow socially, emotionally, and cognitively.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the optimal dose of novel iron amino acid complexes (Fe-Lys-Glu) by measuring laying performance, egg quality, egg iron (Fe) concentrations, and blood biochemical parameters in laying hens.Methods: A total of 1,260 18-week-old healthy Beijing White laying hens were randomly divided into 7 groups with 12 replicates of 15 birds each. After a 2-wk acclimation to the basal diet, hens were fed diets supplemented with 0 (negative control, the analyzed innate iron content was 75.06 mg/kg), 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 mg Fe/kg as Fe-Lys-Glu or 45 mg Fe/kg from FeSO4 (positive control) for 24 wk.Results: Results showed that compared with the negative and positive control groups, dietary supplementation with 30 to 75 mg Fe/kg from Fe-Lys-Glu significantly (linear and quadratic, p<0.05) increased the laying rate (LR) and average daily egg weight (ADEW); hens administered 45 to 75 mg Fe/kg as Fe-Lys-Glu showed a remarkable (linear, p<0.05) decrease in feed conversion ratio. There were no significant differences among all groups in egg quality. The iron concentrations in egg yolk and serum were elevated by increasing Fe-Lys-Glu levels, and the highest iron content was found in 75 mg Fe/kg group. In addition, hens fed 45 mg Fe/kg from Fe-Lys-Glu had (linear and quadratic, p<0.05) higher yolk Fe contents than that with the same dosage of FeSO4 supplementation. The red blood cell (RBC) count and hemoglobin content (linear and quadratic, p<0.05) increased obviously in the groups fed with 30 to 75 mg Fe/kg as Fe-Lys-Glu in comparison with the control group. Fe-Lys-Glu supplementation also (linear and quadratic, p<0.05) enhanced the activity of copper/zinc-superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) in serum, as a result, the serum malonaldehyde content (linear and quadratic, p<0.05) decreased in hens received 60 to 75 mg Fe/kg as Fe-Lys-Glu.Conclusion: Supplementation Fe-Lys-Glu in laying hens could substitute for FeSO4 and the optimal additive levels of Fe-Lys-Glu are 45 mg Fe/kg in layers diets based on the quadratic regression analysis of LR, ADEW, RBC, and Cu/Zn-SOD.

Background: The high prevalence of insomnia in children and its adverse consequences on children and their family indicate that investigation about treatment of insomnia is necessary. Objectives: This research was conducted to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy program for insomnia, named the KiSS program (Kinder mit Schafstörungen Programm) and reflexotherapy on insomnia in children. Methods: The method of the present research was quasi-experimental in which a pretest, posttest and follow-up design was used in two experimental and two control groups. In order to perform this study among children of 8 to 10 years with insomnia referring to Medical & Psychology Clinic of Shokoufeh in, Tehran, Iran, within July to October 2021, 80 children were selected through the convenience sampling method based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and were assigned randomly into two experimental and two control groups. The Personal Information Questionnaire, Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC), Child Symptoms Inventory-4 (CSI-4) were used to collect data. In the experimental groups, the KiSS program and reflexotherapy were performed. In the control groups, the interventions of watching cartoon in group and watching cartoon individually were performed. The data were analyzed with SPSS 22 using descriptive statistical indicators including mean and standard deviation as well as inferential statistics indicators, including mixed-design analysis of variance (ANOVA) method. Results: The results of data analysis showed that the KiSS program reduced mean scores of insomnia in the posttest stage significantly compared to the first control group and the changes in the follow-up stage remained stable. The mean scores of insomnia in reflexotherapy group also decreased significantly in the posttest stage than second control group. However, the effectiveness of the reflexotherapy intervention is temporary, and after two-months follow-up, the insomnia reappear in children. Conclusions: Both the KiSS program and reflexotherapy can be used as uncomplicated and safe nondrug intervention to improve insomnia in children of 8-10 years. Nevertheless, the KiSS program showed more promising results.

The classic Philadelphia chromosome–negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) consist of myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, and essential thrombocythemia and are a heterogeneous group of clonal blood disorders characterized by an overproduction of blood cells. The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for MPN were developed as a result of meetings convened by a multidisciplinary panel with expertise in MPN, with the goal of providing recommendations for the management of MPN in adults. The Guidelines include recommendations for the diagnostic workup, risk stratification, treatment, and supportive care strategies for the management of myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, and essential thrombocythemia. Assessment of symptoms at baseline and monitoring of symptom status during the course of treatment is recommended for all patients. This article focuses on the recommendations as outlined in the NCCN Guidelines for the diagnosis of MPN and the risk stratification, management, and supportive care relevant to MF.

Background: Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is used in borderline resectable/locally advanced (BR/LA) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Anatomic imaging (CT/MRI) poorly predicts response, and biochemical (CA 19-9) markers are not useful (nonsecretors/nonelevated) in many patients. Pathologic response highly predicts survival post-NAT, but is only known postoperatively. Because metabolic imaging (FDG-PET) reveals primary tumor viability, this study aimed to evaluate our experience with preoperative FDG-PET in patients with BR/LA PDAC in predicting NAT response and survival. Methods: We reviewed all patients with resected BR/LA PDAC who underwent NAT with FDG-PET within 60 days of resection. Pre- and post-NAT metabolic (FDG-PET) and biochemical (CA 19-9) responses were dichotomized in addition to pathologic responses. We compared post-NAT metabolic and biochemical responses as preoperative predictors of pathologic responses and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: We identified 202 eligible patients. Post-NAT, 58% of patients had optimization of CA 19-9 levels. Major metabolic and pathologic responses were present in 51% and 38% of patients, respectively. Median RFS and OS times were 21 and 48.7 months, respectively. Metabolic response was superior to biochemical response in predicting pathologic response (area under the curve, 0.86 vs 0.75; P<.001). Metabolic response was the only univariate preoperative predictor of OS (odds ratio, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.13–0.40), and was highly correlated (P=.001) with pathologic response as opposed to biochemical response alone. After multivariate adjustment, metabolic response was the single largest independent preoperative predictor (P<.001) for pathologic response (odds ratio, 43.2; 95% CI, 16.9–153.2), RFS (hazard ratio, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.2–0.6), and OS (hazard ratio, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.1–0.4). Conclusions: Among patients with post-NAT resected BR/LA PDAC, FDG-PET highly predicts pathologic response and survival, superior to biochemical responses alone. Given the poor ability of anatomic imaging or biochemical markers to assess NAT responses in these patients, FDG-PET is a preoperative metric of NAT efficacy, thereby allowing potential therapeutic alterations and surgical treatment decisions. We suggest that FDG-PET should be an adjunct and recommended modality during the NAT phase of care for these patients.
