Dans la Commune de Mont Ngafula, Ville Province de Kinshasa, le changement climatique est une réalité. Les vallées de Kimwenza et Lukaya sont d’ores et déjà affectées par le glissement des saisons avec des pluies tardives et de courte durée. Cette situation affecte la production maraîchère et la sécurité alimentaire des ménages en termes de faibles rendements et de revenus. Cette étude a révélé que la grande majorité des maraîchers enquêtés, soit 84%, ont perçu l’un ou l’autre des indicateurs des changements climatiques. Tandis que les proportions de la perception des indicateurs des changements climatiques se présentent comme suit : fortes chaleurs (76%), pluies intenses (60%), pluies tardives (42%), vents violents (41%), inondations (13%), perte des cultures (36%), augmentation des adventices (88%), prolifération des ennemis de cultures (81%), diminution de la fertilité des sols (78%) et chute des rendements (86%). Les maraîchers enquêtés ont révélé de nombreuses pratiques par lesquelles ils se sont adaptés aux changements climatiques. C’est le cas de l’utilisation des variétés adaptées (16%) et des semences améliorées (19%), la modification des dates de semis (26%), la diversification des cultures (49%), l’association et la rotation des cultures (82% et 70%), l’usage de la fumure organique (46%), la pratique du paillage et de la couverture de pépinières (14% et 17%), l’installation de bandes enherbées et des haies vives/mortes (3% et 6%), l’agroforesterie (7%), l’arrosage fréquent (89%) et l’élévation de digues (16%). Nos résultats ont révélé que seuls 47% des maraîchers enquêtés se sont adaptés aux changements climatiques, en l’occurrence ceux qui ont adopté au moins une de ces pratiques. Les variables qui se sont révélés significatives ont permis d’identifier les facteurs explicatifs d’adaptation des maraichers des vallées de Kimwenza et Lukaya aux changements climatiques. Il s’agit de: l’utilisation de la main d’œuvre (familiale79%; familiale et journalière13%; journalière 8%), l’appartenance à une organisation paysanne (57%), du statut de terre (90), l’accès au crédit (13%). Ces facteurs sont déterminants dans l’élaboration des politiques d’adaptation des producteurs aux changements climatiques, en vue de promouvoir l’activité maraîchère et la production agricole.

Nos sociétés traditionnelles souffrent sur le plan du développement par l’esprit conservatoire et considérant tout de la tradition comme héritage même dans un sens négatif. Actuellement dans nos milieux traditionnels les pratiques coutumières se transforment en mode de vie. Surtout quand il faut résoudre un différend et les auteurs-acteurs adoptent le comportement silencieux du scorpion pour nuire. De ce fait, ces pratiques constituent un goulot d’étranglement du groupement Ntumu ; car elles ne servent qu’à résoudre le conflit du pouvoir coutumier surtout que la justice reste trop partiale et corruptrice, la conséquence est la vie misérable de la population qui caractérise son sous-développement.

This study aimed to compare the effect of 100-meter freestyle swimming and 400-meter running on the electrolytes of short-distance swimmers. The researchers used the descriptive method. The research sample included 8 short-distance swimmers from the team of Mosul University, specifically from the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. Tests, measurements, technical devices, and scientific sources were utilized as means of collecting research data. The data analysis was conducted using the statistical package SPSS (version 23.0). When we made the comparison between the pre-tests and the post-tests, we observed that 100-meter freestyle swimming resulted in a significant increase in the concentration of potassium, sodium and chloride ions during post-test. However, 400-meter running resulted in a significant increase in the concentration of sodium and chloride ions, but the increase was not significant in the case of potassium. When we compared the post-tests of all the variables studied, we found no significant differences in potassium between swimming and running. Regarding sodium, the concentration of this ion was significantly higher after 100-meter freestyle swimming than after 400-meter running. However, with chloride the opposite happened, being the concentration of chloride ion significantly higher after running than after swimming.

Land evaluation is the assessment of the suitability for specified land uses. Land evaluation and quantitative landuse systems analysis support the planning of sustainable use of land. Twenty-one soil series and their phases (sixty-one)identified and mapped during land resource inventory were evaluated for their soil-site suitability for major cereal crops inGanjigatti sub-watershed, Dharwad district in Hilly zone (zone 9) of Karnataka for sustainable land use planning. The soilseries were AKT (Attikatti), ASR (Adavisomapura), BGD (Bagadgeri), BGH (Bigudihala), BNK (Bhogenagarkoppa), BTP(Bettadapura), GJG (Ganjigatti), HNL (Hirehonnalli), HRG (Harugeri), KDK (Kadanakoppa), KMD (Kamadhenu), KRK(Kuradikeri), MLP (Mahalingpur), MRK (Mishrikoti), MVD (Mevundi), RMN (Ramanhala), SDK (Sangedevarakoppa),SGL (Singtalur), SSK (Surashettykoppa), UGK (Ugginakeri) and YSJ (Yelisirunj). Based on texture, depth, slope, erosion,graveliness and stoniness, the twenty-one soil series were mapped into sixty-one mapping units by using Arc GIS version10.8. The soils were evaluated for potential soil site suitability for major cereal crops viz., rice, wheat, maize, sorghum andpearl millet. Majority of soil mapping units are moderately (S2) and marginally suitable (S3) for cultivation due to moderateto severe limitations in climate, soil, drainage and slope per cent. The soil series BGD and MLP were currently not suitabledue to very severe limitations of soil depth. These results could be used as baseline information for identifying specific soilresource constraints for sustainable production of these cereal crops in the study area.

Two days old eggs, grubs (fourand seventeen days old) and three days old pupae along with green gram seeds were exposed to gamma radiation in range of0-50 Gy, 0-60 Gy, 0-100 Gy and 0-100 Gy, respectively. The radiation doses like 15 Gy, 40 Gy, 100 Gy and 100 Gy wereeffectively prevented adult formation from treated pre-imaginal stages mentioned above. For adult beetles response wasassessed by selecting five pairs of four days old adult male and females along with 30 g greengram seeds kept as a food andwere exposed to gamma radiation in range of 0-140 Gy. The fecundity of adults decreased with the increase of irradiationdose. There was 54.02, 61.59, 69.07, 87.80, 94.36 and 97.45 per cent reduction in egg laying in adults exposed to 20, 40, 60,80, 100 and 120 Gy, respectively. The adults exposed to a radiation dose of 80 Gy and above were capable of egg laying butsuch eggs were not developed to form adult . Therefore, from this study we concluded that all stages of C. maculatus canbe killed at 120 to 150 Gy expose dosage of gamma radiation.

This comprehensive study employed a multifaceted research methodology encompassing a systematic review of existing literature, clinical case analyses, and a series of controlled clinical trials to explore the complex relationship between orthodontic treatments and periodontal health. The study focused on evaluating the biomechanical impacts of orthodontic procedures on the periodontium, including risks such as gum recession and bone loss, particularly in patients with varying periodontal biotypes and pre-existing periodontal conditions. The research methodology involved detailed assessments of periodontal health pre- and post-orthodontic intervention, monitoring changes in gingival and bone structures using advanced imaging techniques, and recording patient-reported outcomes regarding oral health quality. The findings of this study revealed a significant correlation between orthodontic force application and changes in periodontal tissue health, highlighting the necessity of personalized treatment planning that incorporates the patient's periodontal status. Preventive measures, including the use of controlled orthodontic forces, meticulous monitoring of tooth movement, and enhanced oral hygiene practices, were shown to be effective in minimizing periodontal complications. This study contributes significantly to the dental field by providing a deeper understanding of the orthodontic-periodontal relationship and offers practical guidelines for dental professionals in managing orthodontic treatments for patients with periodontal considerations. The study's findings underscore the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in dental care, advocating for closer collaboration between orthodontists and periodontists to optimize treatment outcomes and ensure comprehensive oral health care.
Clinical Controversies and Research Progress in Lymph Node Dissection for Cervical Cancer
Authors: Siqingerile
Published: April 2024

Regional lymph node metastasis (LNM) is the main metastatic route of cervical cancer, whose rate of LNM increases in the cancer progression. LNM of cervical cancer is closely related to the cervical cancer staging, treatment method and prognosis. Lymph node dissection (LND) is an important part of standard cervical cancer staging surgeries. In recent years, Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) has been used in treatments of some tumors, being considered as an alternative to Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection (PLND) in early-stage cervical cancer. However, validation regarding the feasibility of using SLNB alone as an alternative to PLND is still needed. Some scholars support PLND for patients with suspicious lymph nodes detected preoperatively due to reasons such as lower diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of preoperative imaging and potentially better prognosis for surgical staging of advanced stage of cervical cancer. However, recent basic research suggests that lymph nodes are important organs for providing tumor-specific immunity, the preservation of which facilitates immunotherapy. In this way, controversies about whether to use PLND still exist. This paper presents a brief review of the relevant research progress and discusses the new clinical definition and value of lymph nodes in the era of immunotherapy, with a view to providing new directions and ideas for the rational application of LND.

In a study conducted on Iraqi medical students, a doctrine was outlaid; Iraqi med students were requested to complete anonymously in an online survey respectively. Analysis of the collected data was done by using SPSS21 software. Such an approach gave you the opportunity to investigate the behavioral patterns, trends and relations of the data, which allowed you to gain important outcomes about how the respondents see AI in medical education. The results showed that a total of 23 medical universities participated in the study and their response was collected to the extent of 318. The most of respondents (s=91,5%) is confident in the fact that AI is going to affect health care in the not so far future. Specially, the responses were summarized into those who are going to show strong agreement (33.6%, s = 107) and those who are going to show agreement (57.9%, s = 184). In this regard, the research found that Iraqi medical students find AI indeed adjacently affecting and are open to interacting with such new technology. Additionally, it leaves open a question - we should provide accompanying training programs against Artificial Intelligence during medical education for doctors.

Published: April 2024

In the evolving landscape of agricultural technology, recognizing rice diseases through computational models is a critical challenge, predominantly addressed through Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). However, the localized feature extraction of CNNs often falls short in complex scenarios, necessitating a shift towards models capable of global contextual understanding. Enter the Vision Transformer (ViT), a paradigm-shifting deep learning model that leverages a self-attention mechanism to transcend the limitations of CNNs by capturing image features in a comprehensive global context. This research embarks on an ambitious journey to refine and adapt the ViT Base(B) transfer learning model for the nuanced task of rice disease recognition. Through meticulous reconfiguration, layer augmentation, and hyperparameter tuning, the study tests the model's prowess across both balanced and imbalanced datasets, revealing its remarkable ability to outperform traditional CNN models, including VGG, MobileNet, and EfficientNet. The proposed ViT model not only achieved superior recall (0.9792), precision (0.9815), specificity (0.9938), f1-score (0.9791), and accuracy (0.9792) on challenging datasets but also established a new benchmark in rice disease recognition, underscoring its potential as a transformative tool in the agricultural domain. This work not only showcases the ViT model's superior performance and stability across diverse tasks and datasets but also illuminates its potential to revolutionize rice disease recognition, setting the stage for future explorations in agricultural AI applications.

Published: April 2024

Background: Sex, in the sense of gender, is a major social demographic characteristic that has been shown to affect health care outcomes. The concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is an effective perioperative management measure that can reduce the perioperative stress response in patients. However, there are few studies on the differences between male and female patients under this type of care. We aimed to analyze sex differences in clinical characteristics among patients undergoing hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery with accelerated rehabilitation. 
Methods: We enrolled patients who underwent liver, biliary tract, and gallbladder operations in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Taizhou Hospital, Zhejiang Province, China, from April 2021 to July 2021. Key measures were collected for patients undergoing perioperative accelerated rehabilitation (i.e., the case group). The study group was assembled by performing 1:1 matching for age, sex, chronic disease, and type of surgery. Postoperative risk assessment, postoperative recovery indicators, and postoperative length of hospital stay (days) were compared between male and female patients. 
Results: A total of 226 surgical patients were enrolled, including 109 male (48.23%) and 117 female patients (51.77%). The outcomes, presented as the median (min, max), were as follows: pulmonary rehabilitation risk assessment in females (1(0,3)) and males (0(0,2)), postoperative nausea and vomiting in females (2(1,3)) and males (1(0,2)), and time to first defecation in females (31(4,61)) and males (36(10,78)). Significant differences were indicated by p values < 0.05. 
Conclusion: We identified sex differences in the clinical prognosis and performance of perioperative patients undergoing hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery with accelerated rehabilitation. The perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation risk of male patients was higher than that of female patients, and the time to first defecation was longer in male than in female patients. The incidence of nausea and vomiting in women was higher than in men.
