Study of Diaspora Elements in Sunetra Gupta’s Novels
Authors: A. Tayade Prof. Dr. Shitalbhau
Published: October 2023

The Diaspora is a key element of colonialism because millions of people habitually travelled to industrialized nations in search of better opportunities overseas. Themes of transformation, alienation, loneliness, and self-discovery are prevalent in the novels written by diasporic authors. Whether you leave your own country deliberately or are forced to, it can be distressing. Authors of diasporic ancestry do a fantastic job of capturing the emotional and physical suffering that their heroes go through when they relocate. People from the diaspora are emotionally and physically cut off from their home country and the rest of the globe despite being crowned, projected, known, and adored in their new community. Sunetra Gupta, an experienced member of the Indian diaspora, looks at how immigrants do in the United States. Most diasporic authors' books deal with themes of change, Characters find tranquilly by staying in their own country in a Sunetra Gupta's novels. They are overjoyed and satisfied because their prior encounters have left them with positive and lasting impressions. This essay makes an attempt to describe and evaluate the problems and experience in her Memories of Rain and A Sin of Color. Examining Sunetra Gupta's works reveals how the West is beginning to recognize migrant Indians as well as how this diasporic Indian adjusts to such a shifting plane of recognition through the never-ending process of re- creation.

Entregamos este número en homenaje a nuestro querido colega Miguel Concha Malo, quien compartió con nosotros décadas de trabajo con sus apreciaciones críticas y angustias por el devenir de las problemáticas no resueltas de América Latina. Su profundo conocimiento de la realidad popular de nuestra región siempre fue una orientación para los latinoamericanistas del Centro de Estudios Latinoamericanos y del Programa de Posgrado en Estudios Latinoamericanos de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). Cuando Miguel Concha escribía o intervenía sobre alguna situación nos enriquecía con la perspectiva de valorar la acción de las grandes mayorías, sobre todo porque para él, la cultura, las creencias, la defensa de los derechos humanos y los valores éticos de las religiones eran el filtro con que dichas mayorías actuaban social y políticamente. Además, nuestro compañero tenía una percepción de las necesidades y sentires populares que permitía entender los complejos procesos de resistencia comunitaria de las grandes masas a los autoritarismos, imposiciones y manipulaciones de las élites reaccionarias de los Estados que se inclinaron por aplicar las políticas neoliberales en las últimas décadas. Miguel Concha nos deja una herencia de pensamiento, de acción y de ética fundamental para los estudios latinoamericanos críticos.

Authors: Pinheiro Barbosa Lia
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo presentar la contribución teórico-analítica y de método de Pablo González Casanova a la construcción de una sociología militante y para la emancipación. Para ello, recupero cuatro categorías de la teoría social del pensador mexicano, las cuales considero centrales en su pensamiento intelectual y que marcan el tránsito de la sociología de la explotación a la sociología de la emancipación: colonialismo, explotación, hegemonía y crisis, y autonomía de clase. Al presentarlas, destaco las rutas analíticas de González Casanova y, en particular, sus articulaciones con la historia, la cultura y las luchas emprendidas por el campo popular para pensar y construir horizontes emancipatorios.

Authors: Salles de Albuquerque Severo , Zendejas Maximo Julio Diego
Published: October 2023

Enmarcado en la disputa regional entre la continuidad del progresismo y la reconfiguración conservadora en América Latina, el trabajo realiza un balance de la lucha de clases en Brasil durante la última década, y examina sus expectativas inmediatas. Primero se analizan las características de los gobiernos del Partido de los Trabajadores (PT) y del lulismo, y su relación con el ascenso conservador encarnado por Jair Bolsonaro. Enseguida se muestra que el golpe parlamentario y el bolsonarismo son parte de un proceso de reestructuración autoritaria del Estado para profundizar el patrón neoliberal de acumulación. Se concluye reflexionando en torno a las perspectivas populares frente a un posible nuevo gobierno de Lula y lo que nos indican sobre el alcance del renovado ciclo progresista.

Las actitudes relacionadas con las ciencias naturales y sus repercusiones en la práctica docente de profesores de primaria
Authors: García-Ruiz Mayra , Sánchez Hernández Beatriz
Published: October 2023

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo identificar las actitudes relacionadas con la ciencia y sus repercusiones en la práctica docente de profesores de educación primaria. Se investigaron las actitudes mediante entrevistas, observaciones y cuestionarios aplicados a una muestra de 100 profesores. En los resultados se advierte que los docentes poseen actitudes poco favorables relacionadas con la ciencia y que éstas se ven reflejadas negativamente en su enseñanza. Esto se debe principalmente a: a) poco dominio de los contenidos científicos, b) preferencia por las materias de español y matemáticas, c) falta de conocimientos sobre actividades experimentales y d) un gran agobio por el trabajo administrativo que se les asigna. Empero, una buena proporción de los docentes manifestaron deseos de lograr un cambio de actitud para mejorar su docencia. Este estudio enfatiza la relevancia de incluir en la formación docente, inicial y continua, no solamente elementos disciplinares y pedagógicos, sino también elementos actitudinales.
Cine mexicano de migraciones a Estados Unidos (1922-1988)
Authors: De la Vega Alfaro Eduardo , Vidal Bonifaz Rosario
Published: October 2023

Prácticamente desde sus inicios como industria, la cinematografía mexicana se sintió muy atraída por plasmar en la pantalla los problemas y asuntos derivados por la siempre compleja y acuciante migración de gente nacida en México rumbo a los Estados Unidos. El presente artículo establece un recorrido por los dos primeros periodos en los que el cine mexicano se dedicó, de manera sistemática, a explorar diversas aristas de ese fenómeno migratorio, centrando sus vías de análisis tanto en las cintas más significativas como en las estrategias esgrimidas por los cineastas que sentaron sus bases de representación fílmica.

Published: October 2023

Abstract: With the increase in the number of branches, students, and examinations at VNRVJIET, a more efficient examination marks managementsystem is necessary. Currently, manually keeping track of all the examination data is time-consuming, prone to mistakes, and lacks a user-friendly interface. To address these shortcomings, we developed a new Examination Marks Management System. Our solution is a web application designed to manage the marks of the Semester End Theory and Laboratory examinations at VNRVJIET. We utilized uploaded images to extract student data and marks, adding checkpoints to validate errors at each step of the process. The system also maps examination data to student ID data and generates necessary reports. Our team worked on the entire exam marks management system, from creating an exam and generating an exam ID to extracting marks data and storing it in a database. The web application we developed is user-friendly and provides a more accurate way to manage examination data. In summary, our new Examination MarksManagement System offers an efficient way to manage examination data at VNRVJIET. It eliminates the challenges associated with manual record keeping, reduces errors, and provides an intuitive user interface. With this system in place, VNRVJIET can easily manage examination data for its growing number of branches, students, and examinations.

Authors: Dudhani Sakshi , Mavlankar Guruprasad R. , Rangadal Deepa N. , Bhatu Minakshi N. , Patil Shubhangi P.
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Camphor is a natural and renewable antimicrobial agent. However, it is highly sublime, which limits its practical application as an effective antibacterial agent. To improve camphor's stability and retention properties, we have microencapsulated camphor into an almond essential oil-based Pickering emulsion (AO-PE), stabilized by cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). The CNC was synthesized from corn husk using an eco-friendly homogenization approach to stabilize the AO-PE. Various factors affecting the formation and stability of Pickering emulsions (PE) were studied, such as the source of cellulose (corn husk and mung hull), oil type (sesame oil and almond oil), oil in water concentration, and stability with time and shear. Camphor-loaded CNC-stabilized AO-PE exhibited a small droplet size and had long-term stability at 6.67% by volume oil concentration, owing to the presence of 0.2 g of CNC at droplet interfaces. The results showed that the PE exhibited better antibacterial performance against Staphylococcus aureus than the equivalent concentrations of camphor, almond oil, CNC, and camphor dissolved in almond oil, individually. This research shall provide fresh insights into the significant enhancement of the antimicrobial properties of medicinal natural products by incorporating them into PEs. Graphical abstract

Published: October 2023

Forestry companies have invested in genetic improvement to increase wood production in a shorter amount of time. Thus, studies are needed to compare the properties of clonal and seminal wood materials.  The objective of this study was to analyze physical and mechanical properties of Tectona grandis from clonal (C1 and C2) and seminal (S) origin and evaluate the yield and quality of sawn wood subjected to outdoor and oven drying. Genetic material was collected from six, 15-year-old trees. Clone C2 presented the lowest amount of bark, and 51 % heartwood up to half the commercial height, while the heartwood of C1 and S went up to 25 % of the height. The three materials did not differ statistically for maximum angular deviation, pith eccentricity, basic density, Janka hardness, anisotropy, commercial income of sawn wood and the presence of knots. After the drying processes, the bowing and crooking indexes were less than 5 mm.m-1, however, the seminal material showed a higher cracking incidence after outdoor and oven drying. In conclusion, the wood properties of the three materials are similar. In addition, the oven drying process is recommended.

Authors: Sarwani Novita
Published: October 2023

Humans as Allah's caliphs on earth have an important role in regulating the earth which is a mandate from Allah SWT. Because humans have a limited lifespan on earth, humans need regeneration so that this earth is not abandoned. This rebirth can be realized by the existence of a marriage, but in undergoing a marriage, not a few face trials in their household relationships. This can happen because one party does not carry out its obligations, so we call it nusyuz. This study aims to reconstruct the concept of nusyuz in the Qur'an. The method used in this article is a library research method. Regarding the contemporary reading of the letter An-Nisa verse 128 which explains the nusyuz of the husband. The data analysis method used is through a descriptive approach. This research the authors conclude that the concept of nusyuz does not only apply to wives but also applies to husbands, when he does not carry out his obligations as a husband.
A ciência de dados à luz da ciência do senso comum aristotélico: uma análise comparativa com a tecnologia sensorial
Authors: Fernandes Tereza Cristina , Rodrigues Marcello Mundim
Published: October 2023

"A pesquisa tem como objetivo comparar a percepção da compreensão aristotélica aplicável à Ciência de Dados, com o objetivo de buscar uma fundamentação teórica filosófica para esta disciplina emergente. A pesquisa apoia-se em duas metodologias: (a) a revisão bibliográfica, nas contribuições dos estudos críticos pertinentes à filosofia aristotélica da experimentação do senso comum; e (b) na análise de conteúdo, pela capacidade de inferência e dedução da compreensão. O argumento é construído a partir da análise dos três níveis de pensamento observados por Aristóteles, abordando os seguintes aspectos: (1) os sentidos e as sensações são os dados que a mente recebe; (2) as ideias são os dados que a mente produz; e (3) o pensamento produz conhecimento relacionando as ideias, juntando-as, separando-as e confrontando-as, formando a capacidade de cognição em busca da razão. Como resultado comparativo, são encontradas similaridades com as tecnologias atuais, que captam dados do ambiente, utilizando instrumentos que imitam as capacidades sensoriais do raciocínio humano, bem como a compreensão desses dados. Finalmente, a pesquisa considera a necessidade de identificar as raízes dos pressupostos teóricos filosóficos, a fim de consolidar a Ciência de Dados e estimular a produção de novos conhecimentos.

Published: October 2023

A produção de conteúdos audiovisuais tem se tornado uma atividade cada vez mais complexa a medida que novos recursos de interação, compartilhamento, diferentes telas e formas de visualização vem se popularizando. Diante deste cenário, surge a Arquitetura do Design Audiovisual (DA) como um instrumento teórico-metodológico de análise e criação de sistemas audiovisuais. O propósito deste artigo é descrever o processo de construção de um sistema audiovisual baseado em dados dos indivíduos para estabelecer uma fruição de conteúdo personalizada. A construção do sistema revelou que os elementos disponíveis no DA como linhas de design, papéis e gatilhos são elementos potenciais para criação deste tipo de sistema.

Direito de privacidade no Brasil: tendências
Authors: Carvalho Rossana Gleucy de Ávila Chagas e , Matias Márcio
Published: October 2023

A proposta deste artigo é constatar as tendências que uma decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal pode promover e a nova Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais, em relação à privacidade de dados pessoais na doutrina e jurisprudência brasileiras. Para tanto foi feita uma pesquisa qualitativa nos argumentos doutrinários e jurisprudenciais utilizados pela Ministra Cármem Lúcia, relatora, na análise do mérito da Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade no 4.815/DF, ajuizada em 5 de julho de 2012, pela Associação Nacional dos Editores de Livros – ANEL, e considerações sobre a efetividade da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais. Os resultados encontrados na pesquisa apontam para a desvalorização do direito à privacidade, intimidade e identidade em relação a outros princípios e direitos tais como: a liberdade de expressão, pensamento e opinião; direito de informação; princípio da transparência na gestão pública dentre outros. A conclusão a que se chegou é a de que o panoptismo idealizado por Bentham e destacado por Foucault não está, nos dias atuais, ligado apenas a atividades estatais. Há ainda interesses corporativos ou comerciais e pessoais que vêm enfraquecendo o direito constitucional à privacidade.

Published: October 2023

A proposta do presente estudo é a de desenvolver um método para a identificação automática de elementos relevantes em Relatórios de Inteligência Financeira. Então, inicialmente, explicamos a adoção de uma métrica específica para indicar suspeitas de lavagem de dinheiro, que é o uso de interpostas pessoas, comumente conhecidas como “laranjas”. Uma forma de se identificar tais pessoas é verificar coincidências de pessoas como empregadas e sócias de empresas que operaram entre si. Detalhamos a metodologia adotada, que se iniciou com a tabulação das operações financeiras do Relatório de Inteligência Financeira e depois com a coleta dos dados relativos aos quadros societários das empresas e dos vínculos empregatícios dos sócios. Posteriormente, foi explicado o desenvolvimento de um script de extração, tratamento e carga dos dados em um programa de Business Intelligence, que trouxe como resultado uma tabela com as prováveis interpostas pessoas. Esta tabela, juntamente com os demais dados, foi importada para um programa de análise de vínculos, que permite visualizar os dados por meio de grafos. O resultado final foi um grafo que destaca as pessoas suspeitas de serem “laranjas” e, desta forma, facilita a análise do investigador.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo pensar a função informacional dos letreiros de cidade. Acreditamos, a priori, ser uma estratégia de existência para a internet, atendendo as necessidades e valores contidos nas informações das redes sociais digitais. Desta maneira, partimos do pressuposto que o Instagram modificou os ambientes sociais pelas formas e fluxos de compartilhamento das práticas fotográficas, fazendo com que as coisas se tornem instagramáveis, sobretudo no universo dos viajantes fotógrafos. Para atender a esse regime informacional, proliferam-se os letreiros turísticos nas cidades. No caso específico do letreiro da cidade de João Pessoa, o qual nós abordamos, foi realizada uma análise de dados para averiguar o número de postagens e acessos baseado na hastag #euamojampa para, juntamente com nossas reflexões teóricas, atestar a função informacional dos letreiros de cidade em tempos de vida online.

Entrepreneurship education as a driver of entrepreneurial intentions amongst university students
Authors: Phiri Maxwell Agabu , Chasaya Wimbayi
Published: October 2023

Entrepreneurship has received much recognition worldwide in both the academic and corporate fields, mainly due to its contribution to job creation and economic development. Entrepreneurship education was identified across the literature as one of the key drivers of entrepreneurship intention. For this purpose, Jena (2020) argued that entrepreneurship education is a good predictor of how competitive a country’s economy is. However, in South Africa, few studies have been conducted on entrepreneurship education offered in local universities. This study, therefore, sought to investigate the impact of entrepreneurship education on students’ entrepreneurship intentions. A survey was conducted with a sample of 197 undergraduate students selected from two public universities in Durban. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27. The findings of the study concluded a strong positive significant relationship between entrepreneurship education and students’ entrepreneurial intentions (r = 0.79, p < 0.01). However, regression analysis concluded that subjective norms are a good predictor of students’ entrepreneurial intentions compared to entrepreneurship education (B = 0.347; t = 3.785; p < 0.01). Based on these results, policymakers, university management, and curriculum developers should promote entrepreneurship education and focus more on its design for effective results.
Epidemiological characteristics of common respiratory viruses among children in Hangzhou, China: comparison of COVID-19 before, during and after the pandemic
Authors: Zhou Jianming , Sun Yanhong , Shen Hao , Yang Liuqiao , ye qing , Zhu Zhiwen
Published: October 2023

Background: Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) against
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) not only
curbed the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) but also affected
common respiratory viruses infected by children. The purpose of this
study was to explore the effect of NPIs on common respiratory viruses in
children. Methods: Samples of children diagnosed with
respiratory tract infection in Children’s Hospital affiliated with
Zhejiang University from January 2019 to August 2023 were collected, and
ADV, Flu A, Flu B and RSV were detected. To analyze the changes in
common respiratory viruses in children in three stages: pre-COVID-19,
pandemic and late. Statistical analysis was carried out with R software.
Results: From January 2019 to August 2023, a total of 567,858
samples were tested, including 308,163 males, accounting for 54.26%,
and 259,695 females, accounting for 45.73%. Among them, there were
173,956 positive samples (30.63%), 40,279 ADV-positive samples
(23.15%), 78,580 Flu A-positive samples (45.17%), 26,888 Flu
B-positive samples (15.45%) and 28,209 RSV-positive samples (16.21%).
Among children of different ages in Hangzhou before, during and after
COVID-19, the highest total detection rate of respiratory virus was 1-3
years old (accounting for 40.24%), followed by 4-6 years old
(accounting for 26.59%). The distribution in different seasons shows
that the number of children infected with respiratory viruses reaches a
peak in winter and spring. Compared with 2019 (35.60%) before the
COVID-19 epidemic, the total detection rate of common respiratory
viruses in children was lower during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022)
(27.89%, 22.71%, 24.63%), and it was increased in 2023 while after
NPIs were cancelled (accounting for 33.75%). Conclusion: NPI
measures can effectively reduce the spread of common respiratory
viruses, but at the same time, they will weaken human immunity to these
respiratory viruses.

are commonly used as oral vectors for drug delivery. We hypothesized
that recombinantly expressed NAP on B. subtilis spores could be
an effective treatment for CAS allergy. Methods: After CAS
sensitization, mice were orally administered B. subtilis spores
expressing recombinant NAP for 6 weeks. Allergic symptoms and parameters
were evaluated after CAS challenge via gavage, including allergic
inflammation, splenic cytokines, and serum-specific antibodies. Protein
levels of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and c-JUN in the jejunum tissue
were measured by western blot. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs)
were stimulated with inactivated NAP spores to measure the influence on
cytokine profiles in vitro. Results: NAP recombinant
spore treatment significantly reduced allergic symptoms and intestinal
inflammation. Interleukin-12 and interferon-gamma levels increased,
whereas serum CAS-specific IgG1 and IgE levels decreased. TLR2 and c-JUN
expression levels were elevated in the jejunal tissue. Inactivated NAP
spores polarized BMDMs to the M1 phenotype and enhanced cytokine
expression, which were inhibited by a TLR2 neutralizing antibody.
Conclusions: NAP offers a new strategy in the treatment of CAS
allergy by inhibiting the Th2 response, while eliciting macrophages to
activate the TLR2-dependent signaling pathway and promote Th1 immune
responses.

Empty Mast Cell Syndrome, also named Post Anaphylaxis Mast Cell Anergy
(PAMA), is a temporary state of loss of mast cell responsiveness after a
severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction. We describe a case of PAMA
after accidental re-exposure to amoxicillin in a patient who developed
severe anaphylaxis to this drug three days earlier in the operating
room.

The Bonin Islands, comprising of the Mukojima, Chichijima, and Hahajima
Islands, are known for their isolated and distinctive habitats, hosting
a diverse array of endemic flora and fauna. In these islands, adaptive
radiation has played a remarkable role in speciation, particularly
evident in the Callicarpa genus that is represented by three
species: Callicarpa parvifolia and Callicarpa glabra
exclusive to the Chichijima Islands, and Callicarpa subpubescens,
distributed across the entire Bonin Islands. Notably, C.
subpubescens exhibits multiple ecotypes, differing in leaf hair
density, flowering time, and tree size. In this study, we used
double-digest restriction site–associated DNA sequencing to analyze
species, ecotypes and geographical variations within Callicarpa
in the Bonin Islands. We aimed to determine detailed phylogenetic
relationships, investigate species and ecotype diversification patterns,
estimate divergence times, and explore cryptic species using genetic and
phenotypic data. Genetic analysis revealed that C. parvifolia and
C. glabra formed a single, distinct genetic groups. Conversely,
C. subpubescens showed seven genetic groups corresponding to
different ecotypes and regions, with one ecotype derived from the
hybridization of two others. Phylogenetic and population demography
analyses, focusing on six Chichijima and Hahajima Islands–based
species/ecotypes, indicated the divergence of an ecotype adapted to tall
mesic forests approximately 170 kya, whereas the other five
species/ecotypes diverged nearly simultaneously around 73–77 kya.
Environmental changes during the glacial period likely contributed to
this process of adaptive radiation. Moreover, leaf morphology, flowering
time, and genetic analyses suggested the presence of two cryptic species
within C. subpubescens.

Published: October 2023

One monofacial and one bifacial string of PV modules were installed over
white and concrete ground surfaces, and their performance was monitored
for 2.5 years. During the entire study, the PV systems and ground
surface were maintained under natural conditions without human
intervention (e.g., cleaning or washing). A higher rear irradiance is
observed for a white surface than for a concrete surface. Additional
solar irradiance results in greater power generation, and hence, greater
bifacial gain. Bifacial gains of 4–15 and 4–22% are observed on
concrete and white surfaces, respectively. Over 50% relative extra
albedo and over 25% power generation are demonstrated on the white
ground surface compared to the concrete surface, particularly in summer.
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of the bifacial PV modules
installed on the white surface is lower than that of similar modules
installed on concrete, and we predict that in nine years, the LCOE of
bifacial PV modules will be lower than that of their monofacial
counterparts. These PV systems were monitored for a long period of time;
hence, we believe that this work provides reliable information for
energy researchers and industry.

Purpose: The first clinical biology-guided radiation therapy
(BgRT) system – RefleXion X1 - was installed and
commissioned for clinical use at our institution. This study aims at
evaluating X1 treatment planning feasibility of complex craniospinal
targets for pediatric medulloblastoma patients and comparing plan
quality to multi-isocenter linac-based VMAT plans. Methods:
Five pediatric patients treated with multi-isocenter craniospinal
irradiation (CSI), planned using Eclipse VMAT and delivered using Varian
Trilogy C-arm linac, were selected for this retrospective study. All PTV
targets had a craniocaudal length<50cm (current X1 TPS limit)
and received 36 Gy in 20 fractions. The target volumes and
organs-at-risk (OARs) used for VMAT plans were used to generate plans
using RefleXion X1. The near maximum dose to PTV (PTV D2%), OARs Dmean
and Dmax, and treatment times were collected for analysis. A
paired-sample t-test was performed to detect significance at p
<0.05. Results: All five RefleXion X1 CSI plans were
successfully generated and were clinically acceptable for treatment. PTV
D2% was higher for X1 compared to VMAT plans at 41.3 Gy and 39.2 Gy,
respectively, (p = 0.08). For the X1 plans, the average Dmean to the
bowel, cochleas, heart, kidneys, lungs, and oral cavity were 10.4 Gy,
38.5 Gy, 12.5 Gy, 18.2 Gy, 13.7 Gy, and 16.0 Gy, respectively. The
difference was not found to be statistically significant
(p>0.05) compared to VMAT plans which showed Dmean to the
bowel, heart, kidneys, lungs, and oral cavity at 11.7 Gy, 38.4 Gy, 11.6
Gy, 15.6 Gy, 13.3 Gy, and 15.0 Gy, respectively. The average treatment
beam-on time for X1 plans was 16.7 min versus 3.6 min for VMAT plans
(p<0.01). However, RefleXion X1 platform enabling
one-isocenter treatment and 90 cm long kVCT scan has a potential to
decrease the setup/imaging time, and thus the total treatment time
compared to multi-isocenter linac-based VMAT where the total treatment
time up to 43.5 min was observed. Conclusion: Apart from a
higher maximum dose to PTV, X1 plans showed comparable dosimetry to
multi-isocenter VMAT plans. Although the average beam-on time with X1
was longer, there is a potential for a more streamlined setup and IGRT
using a single-isocenter plans.

Published: October 2023

Objective：Cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEIs) is the first-line drug for
Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Understanding torsade de pointes (TdP)/QT
prolongation with different ChEIs is essential for its safe and rational
administration. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between
different ChEIs and TdP/QT prolongation. Methods：All ChEIs related
TdP/QT prolongation cases were retrieved from the FAERS database using
standard MedDRA query (SMQ) from the first quarter of 2004 to the third
quarter of 2022. Disproportionality and sensitivity analysis were used
to determine the signal of TdP/QT prolongation related to ChEIs.
Results：557 cases of TdP/QT prolongation related to 3 ChEIs were
searched by SMQ. The patients were mostly elderly people, with markedly
more female than male. The signals of TdP/QT prolongation for ChEIs were
detected by disproportionality analysis, and the signal of Donepezil was
the strongest. The sensitivity analysis results indicate a robust and
stable correlation between these signals with ChEIs. TdP/QT prolongation
usually occurs within one month after taking ChEIs. Conclusion：The
signals of TdP/QT prolongation related to ChEIs were strong and stable.
It is necessary to be vigilant about the TdP/QT prolongation of various
ChEIs, especially in the initial stage after taking ChEIs.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical
practice. The prevalence of AF is known to be constantly rising due to
an overall increased ageing population with multiple co-morbidities in
the Western world, predisposing to debilitating complications such as
stroke and coronary artery disease (CAD). Therefore, there has been a
great interest in improving clinical outcomes for these patients. Hence,
various screening strategies have come into guidelines in order to
identify individuals at an increased risk of AF and its complications.
It is speculated that assessment of risk factors using various screening
tools will aid in improving outcomes and reducing AF-related
complications. Thereby, there has been a recognised need for
investigating the diagnostic accuracy of key index tests in the
diagnosis and management of AF.

The maize root system architecture (RSA) influences the absorption of
water and nutrients and plays an important role in determining grain
yield. Selecting root traits could be an important consideration to
improve maize productivity. Traditional approaches in root measurements
are destructive, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Nowadays, the X-ray
Computed Tomography (CT) technology has been widely applied for
non-destructive root trait quantification of maize plants. The
root-based imaging technique can be integrated with
visible-near-infrared (VNIR) and short-wavelength-infrared (SWIR)
cameras to monitor the root and shoot development in the cycle of maize
growth. To evaluate the impact of X-ray radiation on maize development,
twenty-eight (28) plants were grown in the Ag Alumni Seed Plant
Phenotyping Facility (AAPF) at Purdue University and exposed to three
different X-ray doses during the growth. The plant root CT and shoot
hyperspectral images were collected several times from planting to
harvesting. The dry weight/biomass was measured for each plant
immediately after harvesting. The results showed that the plants under
the three X-ray doses did not exhibit significant differences in root
and shoot development. Since the plants were under different water
treatments, the water impact on the maize RSA configuration was also
studied.

Thermal remote sensing has been introduced as a robust technology for
monitoring water status in plants, in a real-time and non-destructive
approach, under a variety of environments. Canopy temperature is a key
indicator of water stress and is extensively used for the determination
of the water status in crops. A previous planting date study conducted
in South Africa revealed a large decline in yields between December and
January regardless of cultivar or location. This study aims to monitor
crop water status and plant health across the four monthly planting
dates and four weekly planting dates between December and January. The
trial was designed as a split plot with three replicates arranged in
complete randomized blocks in Pretoria, South Africa. A Thermal sensor
fixed to a UAV is used to monitor water status of maize across planting
dates and will be correlated with ground truth data. Aerial and ground
truth data were taken from week four to physiological maturity at a
weekly interval. Analysis of variance was used to determine the
influence of late planting on maize physiological traits. Preliminary
results revealed that planting date affected stomata conductance
(sg ), photosynthesis (A ) and transpiration (Tr ).
At the third weekly planting (WPD3), plants were exposed to water
stress, which led to a decrease in photosynthesis, stomatal conductance
and transpiration. These preliminary findings will be correlated with
thermal data and crop water stress index calculated to understand
changes in water status across planting dates.
