Dynamics of trace and rare earth elements during long-term (over four years) decomposition in Scots pine and Norway
Authors: Gautam Mukesh K. , Berg Bjorn , Lee Kwang-Sik
Published: June 2023

The temporal dynamics of 33 major, trace and rare earth elements (REEs) was studied in the Swedish Norway spruce-NSL (Picea abies) and Scots pine-SPL (Pinus sylvestris) litters with the aim to assess their release and accumulation dynamics. Litter bags (8×8cm) were incubated in paired monoculture stands of both the species for upto five years from 1979-1984 according to a randomized block design comprising 25 blocks (1×1 m) within an area of 625 m2. Decomposition rate was slightly higher for SPL (k = 0.315) compared to that of NSL (k= 0.217). During litter decomposition, until ~70% accumulated mass loss (AML), concentration of trace elements increased >50% in both litter types relative to initial concentrations. The pattern of concentration change was non-linear, and polynomial quadratic regression between concentration change and AML resulted in a significant relationships (adj R2= 0.20–0.97; P = 0.15–<0.0001). The changes in concentration and amount of trace elements resulted in two main types of dynamics; (i) both concentration and amount increased for Fe, Al, Ti, Cu, Mo, V, Zr, Sb, As, Cs, Pb, Th and U; (ii) concentration increased but amount decreased for Ni, Zn, Li and Sr. REEs’ amounts increased ~3-fold to 99-fold between the beginning and end of incubations suggesting accumulation during litter decomposition. Dynamics of different REEs were similar in their patterns of change in the two litters. Different REEs, had generally identical patterns of change during incubation, which is reflected in the high correlations among them (r2 = >0.95). A general upward convexity in the dynamics hints that if further incubated in the field, decomposing litter could have accumulated more REE in the organic matter. The results of this study can be useful for future studies in other ecosystems including metal-contaminated sites or element depleted sites. Plant litter accumulation, its decomposition and build-up of humic substances in the decomposing organic matter can act as sink for elements and can be used as a management tool for ecological amelioration of metal-contaminated sites as well as natural systems that are impoverished, especially recuperating ones. The study's findings have implications beyond such sites and can be useful in any research that seeks to understand the patterns of accumulation and release related to decomposition in different ecosystems.
Boraheterohelicenes: synthetic methodologies and properties of a novel class of boron π-conjugated systems
Authors:   , Menduti Luigi
Published: June 2023

Die Einführung eines trigonalen Boratoms in den Kern eines polyaromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffs (PAH) ist ein äußerst leistungsfähiges Werkzeug, um organische Gerüste mit optoelektronischen Eigenschaften und optimaler Verdichtung im festen Zustand zu versehen. Bor-dotierte PAHs (B-PAHs) lassen sich jedoch aufgrund ihrer schlechten Löslichkeit oft schlecht verarbeiten. Die Verzerrung des Molekülgerüsts ist eine geeignete Strategie, um die Löslichkeitseigenschaften von B-PAHs zu verbessern und gleichzeitig gute Stapelungseigenschaften und eine ausreichende elektronische Konjugation zu erhalten. Eine extreme Verzerrung der Molekülstruktur kann bei schraubenförmigen PAHs erreicht werden, nämlich bei Helicenen, bei denen es sich um schraubenförmige, inhärent chirale Polyzyklen handelt, die aus orthofusionierten aromatischen oder heteroaromatischen Ringen bestehen. Es wird erwartet, dass das Vorhandensein einer Helixstruktur in B-PAHs ihre physikalisch-chemischen Eigenschaften stark beeinflusst und zu Verbindungen führt, die sich durch besondere Merkmale auszeichnen, die für Anwendungen in funktionellen Materialien der nächsten Generation vielversprechend sind. Trotz des großen Potenzials dieser Verbindungsklasse sind in der Literatur nur wenige Beispiele für Borahelicene bekannt, die hauptsächlich aus Strukturen auf der Basis von Carbohelicenen bestehen. Die beträchtliche strukturelle Vielfalt, die durch die Einführung verschiedener Bora-Heterocyclen (Oxaborin, Borol, Borepin) und anderer heteroaromatischer Ringe (Thiophen, Furan, Pyrrol) in dasselbe helikale Gerüst erreicht werden kann, deutet jedoch darauf hin, dass eine große Vielfalt von Verbindungen mit faszinierenden Eigenschaften über derzeit unerforschte synthetische Wege zugänglich sein könnte. Der Entwurf, die Synthese und die Untersuchung der Eigenschaften neuer Boraheterohelicene (BHHs) ist daher ein wichtiges Forschungsthema und Gegenstand dieses PhD-Projekts, das darauf abzielt, mehrere BHHs mit struktureller Vielfalt zu erhalten, sowie ihre Reaktivität, elektrochemischen und photophysikalischen Eigenschaften zu untersuchen, um ihr Potenzial als Bausteine für die Materialwissenschaft besser zu verstehen. Die Arbeit wurde zum Teil an der Universität Mailand in den Labors von Prof. Emanuela Licandro und zum Teil an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Matthias Wagner im Rahmen eines Co-Tutelle-Programms durchgeführt. Aufgrund der langjährigen Erfahrung der Gruppe von Prof. Licandro in der Synthese von Tetrathiahelicenen (7TH) und der Gruppe von Prof. Dr. Wagner in der Synthese von Bor-dotierten PAHs (z.B. Borhelicen 4BH) habe ich dieses Promotionsprojekt konzipiert, um eine Reihe von Thiahelicenen zu entwickeln, die eine oder mehrere B-OBindungen im Helixgerüst enthalten.

The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of father involvement on physical activity behaviors among Black women in college. Data were collected at a large, predominantly White university. Forty-two (Mage= 19.79, SD=1.52) Black women wore Fitbit ZipTM activity trackers, completed father involvement scales, and demographic questionnaires. Height and weight status were taken to compute BMI. Seventy-one percent of participants reported high levels of father involvement, and most (86%) were moderately active, despite 62% having > 25 BMI. Fifty-seven percent did not meet minimal weekly step count recommendations for good health (>52,500); however, only 17% were sedentary (<35,000). Although all father involvement and physical activity relationships were weak, sixty-four percent of participants reported that fathers were directly involved in their physical activities, with 43% reporting that fathers were actively engaged. Fathers are involved in Black daughters’ lives, but their impact on physical activity needs further exploration. Findings can aid in the development of culturally appropriate physical education pedagogy, and encourage the inclusion of fathers/men in public health promotion, as they are excluded in the schooling of Black female and health and physical activity research.

The sciatic nerve is the thickest nerve of the body.1 It leaves the pelvis below the piriformis via the greater sciatic foramen and descends between the ischial tuberosity and greater trochanter in the back of the thigh, dividing into the tibial and common peroneal nerves proximal to the knee however, the level of bifurcation can be variable.2The levels of division of the sciatic nerve are important in anaesthesia, orthopaedics, rehabilitation, and neurology.3The study was done by dissection of forty-two human adult lower limb specimens, irrespective of sex from the Department of Anatomy, Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India. During dissection, 02(4.8%) specimens out of 42 specimens showed high division, 28(66.6%) specimens showed intermediate, and 12 (28.6%) specimens showed low division of the sciatic nerve.The bilateral highdivision of the sciatic nerve is a rare variation. Knowledge about the level of division of the sciatic nerve is important for clinicians and surgeons.

The Article is related to various forms of traditional knowledge belonging to indigenous communities in western ghats. Traditional knowledge includes innovations, expertise, know-how, medicinal properties, skills and various other components developed by various indigenous communities and passed from generations to generations. These communities are using these pieces of information as a part of their livelihood. When this traditional knowledge is exploited for commercial and industrial purposes, these communities have to be adequately compensated. They have to be consulted and have to ensure fair and equitable benefit sharing of traditional knowledge. Biopiracy is a serious emerging threat to this traditional knowledge and it is considerably affecting the rights and interests of indigenous community, who are developers and custodians of this traditional knowledge. There is misappropriation of traditional knowledge without giving benefit to the parties who had developed such a treasure of knowledge. Nagoya Protocol and Convention on Bio- Diversity mandates fair and equitable benefit sharing of traditional knowledge.The legal regime for protection as well as fair and equitable benefit sharing of traditional knowledge is still inadequate. Many forms of traditional knowledge are not yet documented. TKDL (Traditional Knowledge Digital Library) is having the database of documented information only.Therefore, here article tries to analyse existing legal mechanism for protection of traditional knowledge and will make recommendations for improvement of legal regime.

Mucormycosis is a fungal infection which get worsens with time if not diagnosed and treated. The present COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with mucormycosis, an infection caused by fungi. Patients who possess impaired immune systems are easy targets for COVID-19 and mucormycosis. As COVID-19 infection results in a weakened immune system, COVID-19 patients have relatively high infection risk. Additionally, as we pointed out in case studies below, diabetes, corticosteroids, and a compromised immune system are the most common risk factors for this infection. Patients with COVID-19 who get steroids can experience adverse impacts on their health, and the condition frequently experiences diseases such mucormycosis.There are therapies, however they are less successful and not as optimistic. Therefore, the focus of study is to investigate potential treatments for mucormycosis. According to reports, mucormycosis has been successfully treated early on using liposomal amphotericin B (AmB), manogepix, echinocandinsisavuconazole, posaconazole, and other promising therapeutic agents. Due to their higher safety and efficacy, lipid formulations of AmB have replaced other treatments for mucormycosis as the norm. We included case reports involving mucormycosis infections in COVID-19 patients in the present study.For component of an immediate worldwide reaction to prevent and treat this deadly disease, particularly for individuals with documented risks, we also focused on anti-mucormycosis drugs including mechanisms of action of different therapeutics, including coverage of new antifungal medications under investigation.

Acute kidney failure (ARI) is a common condition affecting approximately26.9% of pediatric age patients. Its severity is variable, ranging from a simple disturbance of the biological balance to the need to resort to extra-renal purification and the commitment of the vital prognosis. Acute renal failure is defined as a sudden (occurring within 1 to 7 days) and sustained (>24 hours) decline in renal function, reflected by an increase in plasma creatinine it is associated with the inability of the kidneys to excrete the waste products of nitrogen metabolism with an increase in blood urea.), other etiologies can be observed including the toxic origin. We report the case of a 14-year-old child from a non-consanguineous marriage, without particular pathological ATCDS, without notion of toxic or drug intake, admitted for AKI revealed by food vomiting and liquid diarrhea evolving for 5 days, with biological balance sheet urea at 1.69 and creatinine at 17.59. On examination the child was conscious stable normocardium at 92 bpm normotensive at120/80mmhg eupneic at 18 cpm diuresis at 1.1cc/kg/h weight and height inaverage, no edematous syndrome or sign of overload, the urine dipstick was negative without glucosuria, the etiological assessment was negative, the patient was put on oral hyperhydration alone (3L/d) with a marked improvement in renal function urea to 0.38 and creatinine at 5.4 after 24 hours, the questioning was resumed which noted the notion of consumption of tetrahydrocannabiol. In conclusion, ARI is considered a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency whose toxic origin is always to be mentioned above all in adolescents.

In the southern part of the Imiter inlier, the early Ediacaran basement of the Saghro Group is crosscut by an important swarm of aplitic and pegmatitic dikes that display an extension of several meters and which can exceed 10 in thickness. They are distributed according to two main directions: NE-SW and NW-SE. Petrographic analysis reveals that the pegmatites and aplite primarily consist of quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar, muscovite, biotite, allanite, and sphene. The BouTeglimt pegmatites, related to the large BouTeglimt granitic and granodioritic plutons, are exterior pegmatites type, hosted in the metamorphic country rocks. Pegmatite zoning is recognized at two scales: internal zoning, representing variations in mineralogy and texture within individual pegmatite bodies, and regional zoning, characterized by increased mineralogical complexity with distance from the granitic source. Using the ASTER sensor, the study investigated significant clayey, phyllitic, and propylitic alterations of the pegmatites, aplite, and their host rocks in the Imiter mine area. Field investigations and mineralogical characterization highlight four new mineralized zones in base and precious metals. These zones are commonly situated at the peripheries of granites or at the contact between the SG series and the late Ediacaran rocks of the Ouarzazate Group. The mineralization is observed in steeply-dipping veins along major E-W faults parallel to the Imiter fault, as well as in stockwork ore within tuffs, lapilli tuff, rhyolite, and disseminated mineralization within various Ouarzazate Group pyroclastic rocks. The ore mineralogy comprises sulfides and oxide minerals. Furthermore, the muscovite-rich BouTeglimt pegmatite and aplite can be considered an excellent exploration indicators due to their occurrence in fertile granites and rare-element pegmatites. They may hold potential as indicators of tantalum mineralization.

The transformation of follicular lymphoma to Hodgkin-like lymphoma is rarely reported to date. The diagnosis is based on histological and immunohistochemical features that show the presence of both centrocytes and centroblasts cells which isconsistent with follicular lymphoma, and also large neoplastic cells with classic Reed-Sternberg (RS) and Hodgkin cell-like (typically seen in Hodgkin lymphoma). The Immunohistochemical results confirm the diagnosis by the positivity of CD20, CD10, BCL2 in the centrocytes, and the positivity of CD30 and LMP1 in the Hodgkin-like cells. This report presents a case of follicular lymphoma with numerous CD30+ Hodgkin-like cells and compares morphologic and immunophenotypic results of the Centrocytes and centroblasts component and single Hodgkin-Reed Sternberg-like cells. This case also highlights the diagnostic pitfall of Hodgkin-Reed Sternberg-like cells in follicular lymphoma vs classic Hodgkin lymphoma.We expect that this case report adds to the existing literature on this subject.

The study investigated the influence of teachers distribution on teachers retention in public primary schools in Bayelsa state. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design. The population of the study was made up of was the 5322 teachers distributed to the 539 public primary schools in the eight local government areas of Bayelsa state. The sample of the study was 428 teachers representing 7%. The instruments for data collection include a check list and a questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed using percentages, mean and standard deviation which were used to determine level of teachers distribution and retention. While the z- test was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings from the study revealed that teachers were properly distributed among urban schools but poorly distributed among rural schools. Research questions 2 answered for both urban and rural schools showed average mean scores well above the bench mark of 2.50 indicating ways teachers distribution influence teachers retention. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that government of Bayelsa State should ensure that equity is maintained in the distribution of primary school teachers to promote teachers retention government of Bayelsa State should map out effective strategies that could help to monitor teachers distribution especially in rural primary schools for their retention and should provide better remuneration packages that would help to boost teachers retention in rural primary schools.

In patients younger than 40 years old, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is an extremely rare condition. Despite the fact that the clinical features of aSAH have been the subject of extensive research in the general population, there is still some debate regarding the formation of aneurysms and their rupture in the young population. Behaviors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and the use of sympathomimetic medications are all considered risk factors for aSAH. Being female, the existence of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm, a history of hereditary and family history of aSAH, and certain genetic syndromes all contribute to an increased risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage. An ambidirectional cohort study is utilized in the study on thepatients who are from 19-55 years old admitted at Quirino Memorial Medical Center, Quezon City. The respondents are selected using convenience sampling based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. The result showed that the Hunt and Hess score still play a significant role in determining the prognosis of young patients with ruptured aSAH. In addition, the survivability of patients in this population does not solely depend on the presence of any behavioral and non-modifiable risk factors for aSAH such as the Modified Fisher Grade Score, location, number, and type of aneurysms on radiographic findings but the clinical outcome and long-term functional outcome depend on the interplay of the above-mentioned factors, as well as the clinical condition of the patient on admission and the interventions given.

Background:Obesity and overweight are accompanied with several different chronic diseases. Both can be measured by using body mass index (BMI) and is also used widely as an index of relative adiposityamong any population. Objectives:To estimate the prevalence and contributing risk factors of overweight and obesity amongfemale university students in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia 2022 . Methods: Cross-sectional study the analysis was undertaken from a representative sample (N = 256) of the Tabuk University females. Anthropometric measurements including, height (in meters),and weight (in kilograms) of the subjects were undertaken by means of standard apparatus. SPSS 23.0 was utilizedfor statistical analysis of the data. Results:Majority of respondents (59.77%) were of healthy weight (BMI of mean Â±SD = 22.81Â±5.04). About 31.58% of the married participants were overweight and 5.26% of them were obese. While 8.03% single participants were obese and 16.46% of them were overweight. The average hours the participant spends in regular physical activity has significant reflection (p=0.048) on the participants` weight status. None of the participants who spend more than three hours daily in regular activity were obese and only 8.33% of them were overweight.As the number of sleeping hours decrease, there was higher risk for the participant to gain weight.There was a direct impact of frequency of unhealthyfood on the body weight status of the participants. Conclusions:The associated factors of obesity-overweight prevalence in females of the university are potentially preventable and modifiable. The regional barriers to lifestylemodifications and interventions to encourage active lifestyles,to limit the occurrenceof obesity and ultimately promote health and wellbeing, are warranted. Furthermore, prospective studies areneeded in future to confirm the etiological nature of such associations.

The Process of Mapping displays a geographic relationship between objects is done throughmapping. A map is a representation of features of a region on the ground that typically reveals their relative shapes,sizes, and locations under some representational rule or convention. Asample is used to illustrate the type, amount, or quality of the entire.This refers to the method of selecting a subset of the population for testing, analysis, classification, etc. known as sampling. The determination of population parameters and associated sample errors are made possible using appropriate sampling strategies. It may be best to measure or see certain necessary inventory data directly from maps. Area is the most typical measurement of data. Planimeters, dot grids, and other similar tools can be used to determine the area of an inventory item. For extending and reporting the findings of any sampling activities, area information is crucial. This paper has highlighted the process of four types of sampling on the population of the district of West Bengal and has represented it on the map.Mapping is significant for better understanding and a good way to demonstrate the processes for researchers and others aswell.

Background: Postoperative pain control is a critical component of patient care. Effective pain control can improve patient comfort and reduces the risk of complications. Multimodal analgesia is one of the approaches used for postoperative pain control. The idea of combining analgesics is to reduce the side effects of each drug yet effectively deal with postoperative pain. The present study aimed to compare the time for the first analgesia request and compare the total amount of analgesic consumption in the two groups in the postoperative period in the first 24 hrs. Methods: The present study was a single-blinded randomized control study, done in the Department of Anesthesiology, MRMC, and Basaveshwar Teaching and General Hospital, Kalaburgi, Karnataka State. Patients undergoing surgeries under General Anaesthesia with ASA I/II categories were randomly allocated to two groups. Group A n=25 patients with Tab. Paracetamol oral(2gm). Group B n=25 patients with Tab. Paracetamol oral(1gm). + Inj Diclofenac 75mg IM. Postoperative NRS and first demand for rescue analgesia and total consumption of analgesic in two groups were compared. Results: The mean values of NRS scores were found to be lesser in group B as compared to group A indicating better pain control in group B as compared to group A. The time for 1st analgesia request was seen in 60% of group A in 2nd hour and 32% in 1st hour. Time for 1st analgesia request was seen in 60% of patients in group B in the 3rd hour and 20% in the 2nd hour. The overall consumption of analgesics at the end of 24 hours was greater in Group A as compared to Group B. Conclusion: Pre-emptive analgesia with inj. diclofenac is more effective when compared to a tab. paracetamol group alone in post-operative analgesia following elective surgeries. It can further improve the quality of multimodal analgesia during the post-operative period and can reduce the hospital stay and financial burden on the patient. Both paracetamol and diclofenac drugs are safe to provide analgesia in the postoperative period without any major significant side effects.

Immediate loading of implant is the placement of a definitive or a temporary prothesis within the first week of implant placement. The prosthesis connected to an immediately loaded implant may or may not be function depending upon the existing condition of the patients oral health. It has become a widely reported practice with a success rate comparable to a conventionally loaded implant. The success of an immediately loaded implant not only depends upon the survival of the implant but also the hard and soft tissue stability underneath the prosthesis. This paper narratively discusses about different factors affecting immediate loading and the guidelines of immediately loaded implants in partially or completely edentulous arches.
