The effect of tillage depth and traffic management on soil properties and root development during two growth stages of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Authors: Hobson David , Harty Mary , Tracy Saoirse R. , McDonnell Kevin
Published: May 2022

Abstract. The management of agricultural soils during crop establishment can affect
root development due to changes in the soil structure. This paper assesses the
influence of tillage depth (250 mm, 100 mm, and zero tillage) and traffic management
(conventional tyre pressure, low tyre pressure, and no traffic) on wheat
root system architecture during winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) tillering and flowering
growth stages (GS) at a long-term tillage trial site. The study revealed
that zero-tillage systems increased crop yield through significantly greater
root biomass (P<0.001), root length density, and deeper seminal
rooting analysed using X-ray computed tomography (CT) (P<0.001)
compared with trafficked treatments. In general, conventional-pressure
traffic had a significant negative influence on the crop yield (P<0.01), root development (0.001), bulk density (P<0.05), and total
soil porosity (P<0.05) of deep- and shallow-tillage conventional-pressure systems compared with no-traffic zero- and deep-tillage systems. Visual
improvements in soil structure under zero-tillage conditions may have improved crop
rooting in zero-tillage treatments through vertical pore fissures
(biopores), enhancing water uptake during the crop flowering period. This
study highlights the increasing implications of soil structural damage on
root system architecture created by machinery traffic in crop
production. Although the tillage method was less important, the constricted root
systems were more pronounced in conventional-pressure shallow-tillage and
deep-tillage systems, emphasizing the importance of using controlled-traffic
farming methods to improve soil management and reduce the trafficked areas
of agricultural fields.

Introduction: COVID 19 caused by SARS coronavirus two has halted life across the globe since its emergence in December 2019. Most of the infected persons are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. Serosurvey is vital for the estimation of the burden of infection. In this context, our study objective is to estimate the Seroprevalence of SARS CoV 2 IgG among the first-year medical students after the first wave in February 2021.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the first-year medical students of Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences And Research. All the students were enrolled, and their data & serum sample was collected. Serum samples were tested for the presence of Anti-Spike IgG. Data were analyzed by using appropriate statistical tests.Results: The Seroprevalence of anti-SARS CoV 2 IgG was estimated to be 38.8 %. Most (82 %) of the students used the mask per recommendation. Use of mask, BMI, Contact history with COVID 19 patient, attending social gathering & previous COVID 19 were associated with Seropositivity. Regular mask use, BMI, and Previous COVID 19 were significant predictors for Seropositivity. Conclusion: The Seroprevalence of SARS Cov 2 after the first wave of the pandemic is less than 40 %. It calls for the proper implementation of a vaccination program with strict vigilance and surveillance to stop subsequent waves.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: Awareness regarding Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) among antenatal women is necessary for early diagnosis and management of the disease for ensuring a safe motherhood and a healthy child. Objective: This study envisaged to assess the awareness regarding GDM and its determinants among antenatal women attending healthcare facilities in a rural area of West Bengaland to explore the perspectives of health workers with regard to gaps in proper awareness generation activities among antenatal women. Method: This mixed-method study was conducted from April 2021 to July 2021 at 4 health facilities in Singur, West Bengal. Quantitative data were collected from 195 antenatal women using a pretested questionnaire which were analysed using SPSS software. Qualitative data were collected via in-depth interviews among 6 health workers working in the health facilities and were analysed thematically. Results: Overall, 75.4% of participants were not aware of GDM. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that secondary education and below (AOR=3.48, 95% CI=1.63-7.42), no history of GDM among family & relatives (AOR=7.24,95% CI=2.12-24.66), lesser number of antenatal visits (AOR=3.48, 95% CI=1.63-7.42) and non-receipt of counselling regarding GDM during antenatal visits (AOR= 3.09, 95% CI =1.45–6.58) had a significant association with poor awareness. From health workers’ perspectives, lack of reorientation training, shortage of supplies for testing, and overburdening with other responsibilities were the major gaps identified in proper awareness generation activities. Conclusion: Present study revealed majority of study participants possessed poor knowledge regarding GDM. Reorientation training of health workers, organizing awareness campaigns at the community level, and relevant counselling regarding GDM during each antenatal visit should be given utmost priority for improving knowledge about the disease.

Decision making usually takes place in a highly uncertain external environment. In addition, the information possessed by the subject at the time of decision making is usually incomplete. These two factors inevitably create some level of uncertainty for the decision-maker. It is known that it is difficult to take into account many external interrelated factors, so the risk is considered as a consequence of lack of information. So, it is very important for the decision maker to have a quantitative assessment of the risk, as in that case reasonable decisions can be made taking into account the acceptable level of risk. In this paper, an attempt of assessment of the subjective side of credit risk by modeling is made, in terms of banks three main strategies: 1. Fairly cautious, 2. moderately cautious, 3. relatively brave.

Authors: Fong Sook-Fun , Loh Rui-Ying , Choi Sang-Long
Published: May 2022

The future of education industry is dependent on the university’s ability to develop an effective marketing strategies, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Marketing strategies are the plans that enables university to achieve competitive advantage. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between marketing strategies, namely packaging, relationship marketing, price, and brand image and customer satisfaction at the higher education institutions in Johor, Malaysia. Questionnaires were distributed to 90 students who currently studying in universities in Johor, Malaysia. SmartPLS 3.0 (M3) was applied to test the hypotheses and subsequently bootstrapping was conducted to investigate the standard error of the estimate and t-values. The findings indicated that relationship marketing and price have positive relationship with customer satisfaction. On the other hand, findings revealed that packaging and brand image does not show positive relationship on customer satisfaction. It is believed that packaging has a short lifespan and the respondents does not really concern about the popularity of the brand. There is limited research on this topic to guide the universities to cope up with the current situation. Thus, this research findings have provided significant insights that help stakeholders to better strategize and position universities, particularly in the scenario of Johor, Malaysia.
Opioid Use Consequences, Governmental Strategies, and Alternative Pain Control Techniques Following Total Hip Arthroplasties
Authors: Berardino Kevin , Carroll Austin H. , Popovsky Daniel , Ricotti Robert , Civilette Matthew D. , Sherman William F. , Kaye Alan D.
Published: May 2022

Over the last several decades, rates of opioid use and associated problems have dramatically increased in the United States leading to laws limiting prescription duration for acute pain management. As a result, orthopedic surgeons who perform total hip arthroplasty (THA), a procedure that often leads to significant postoperative pain, have been faced with substantial challenges to adequately mitigate patient pain while also reducing opioid intake. Current strategies include identifying and correcting modifiable risk factors associated with postoperative opioid use such as preoperative opioid use, alcohol and tobacco abuse, and untreated psychiatric illness. Additionally, recent evidence has emerged in the form of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols suggesting that a multidisciplinary focus on patient factors perioperatively can lead to reduced postoperative opioid administration and decreased hospital stays. A cornerstone of ERAS protocols includes multimodal pain regimens with opioid rescue only as needed, which often includes multiple systemic pain therapies such as acetaminophen, gabapentin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as targeted pain therapies that include epidural catheters and ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. Many hospital systems and states have also implemented opioid prescribing limitations with mixed success. As the opioid epidemic continues in the United States, while contributing to poor outcomes following elective surgeries, further research is warranted to identify multidisciplinary strategies that mitigate opioid use while also allowing for adequate pain control and rehabilitation.

Objective: In the present study, the researchers want to establish the outcome of spine fixation for unstable fractures at the dorsolumbar junction, including fractured vertebrae, while using pedicular screw fixation techniques. Study Design: Prospective study Place and Duration: The study was conducted at Orthopaedics Department, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar and Neurosurgery Department, Frontier Medical and Dental College, Abbottabad for the duration of six months from May 2021 to October 2021. Methods: There were hundred and nineteen patients of both genders had unstable fracture at dorslumbar junction. Patients were aged between 20-55 years. Transpedicular screws were used to secure the fractured vertebra. Both radiographic and clinical assessments of back pain and impairment were conducted using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) to evaluate patients (ODI). Before surgery, shortly after surgery, and eight months afterwards, all of these data were assessed. SPSS 23.0 version was used to analyze complete data. Results: Mean age of the patients was 33.5±5.42 years. 85 (71.4%) cases were males and 34 (28.6%) patients were females. Falling from the height was the most common reason found in 60 (50.4%) cases followed by road traffic accident 45 (37.8%) cases and 14 (11.8%) were others. L1 fractures were majority found in 67 (56.3%) cases followed by L2 in 40 (33.6%) cases. Post-operatively, we found significantly improvement in Cobb angle, anterior vertebral height, posterior vertebral height and sagittal index with p value <0.05. Oswestry disability index (ODI) was improved to 41.13±19.42% from 70.6±16.43%. Mean pain score (VAS) was reduced to 1.01±5.23. Post-operatively only 7 (5.9%) patients had complications. Conclusion: Our patients who had transpedicular screw fixation, which included fixing the broken vertebrae, had outstanding radiological and clinical outcomes. Treatment of the fractured vertebra in transpedicular screw fixation of dorsolumbar spine fractures is, thus, highly recommended.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of a proposed educational guide using advanced teaching styles on the achievement of female students who are specialized in volleyball in some tactical aspects. The experimental approach was used. The sample consisted of 36 female students selected purposively and divided into three equal groups. After preparing the educational guide, it was used for 6 weeks (2 teaching units per week and 120 minutes each). Data analysis revealed that each group developed in the post-test compared to the pre-test in both the cognitive and field aspects for the offensive and defensive tactics in volleyball. When the three groups were compared in the achievement post-test, the results revealed significant differences in favor of the group that used the brain storming compared to the other two groups (the multilevel group and the demonstration group). Also, a significant difference appeared between the multilevel teaching style and brain storming in favor of the multilevel group. It was recommended to use the brain storming as it encourages thinking, innovation and acquiring information from the teaching tools used. In addition, the results do not suggest nor encourage the demonstration teaching style for the university students.

Published: May 2022

This study aimed at constructing a scale to measurethe 10th grade students attitudes toward vocational work. To achieve the objectives of the study, an initial pool of 96 items was constructed using a 5-point Likert scale. The scale was first administered to a pilot sample of students and then reviewed by a jury of experts. The number of the resulting items was 68. The scale was then administered to a sample of 536 male and female students. The results revealed that 46 items obey the assumptions of the rating scale model derived from Rasch model (one of the Item Response Theory Models which is suitable for the scale used) . The results also showed that the 46-item scale in its final form was unidimensional and characterized by appropriate psychometric properties; the value of the reliability coefficients were 0.98 and 0.93 for the persons and for the items of the scale respectively. In addition, the scale provides large amount of information about individuals with medium ability (θ=b) which fits the assumptions of the model.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the automatic thoughts and depression in light of gender, specialization, level of study, achievement and hours of internet-usage. The sample of this study consisted of 329 (101 males and 228 females). Two instruments were used to collect the data: the Automatic Thought Questionnaire (ATQ) and the Beck Depression Inventory- second edition. (BDI-II). The results showed a positive correlation between depression and ATQ (r = 0.8, p. < 0.001). There was a negative correlation between ATQ and depression among non-depressed students (r = -0.78, p < 0.001). There were significant differences between male and female students (p < 0.05) in favor of females in ATQ. There were significant differences between the levels of achievement in favor of students with excellent GPA. The results also showed that there were no significant differences (p 0.05) that related to other variables.

Authors: Abdelmajead Ahmed S.
Published: May 2022

This research aimed at identifying the effect of using mathematical correlations and some visual teaching strategies on the levels of information processing and self-evaluation of the written mathematical knowledge patterns of the first year preparatory students. To achieve this aim, three groups were selected: two of them were experimental, and the third was a control one. An Algebra unit was taught to the experimental group (39 students) according to the mathematical correlations; and the second experimental group (38 students) studied the same content, according to some visual teaching strategies, and the third group (the control group) (40 students) studied the same content in the same time period according to the usual method used in teaching. The Algebra unit was prepared using the mathematical correlations strategy and some visual teaching strategies. A teacher's manual based on the aformentioned strategies was also prepared. A test for measuring mathematical information processing and a scale for evaluating the written mathematical knowledge patterns was administered to the three groups. The results showed that using mathematical correlations and some visual teaching strategies in teaching the Algebra unit contributed to raising the level of information processing as well as the written mathematical knowledge patterns of the first preparatory students.The results also indicated equal use of the mathematical correlations and some visual teaching strategies on the level of information processing and self evaluation of the written mathematical knowledge patterns of the first year preparatory students.

Reposicionamento de fármacos é uma estratégia muito utilizada atualmente pela indústria farmacêutica. Essa estratégia é baseada no emprego de medicamentos disponíveis no mercado, que terão outras aplicações e serão utilizados no tratamento de outras doenças. A principal vantagem dessa abordagem, é o ganho de tempo e custo considerável na comercialização do medicamento, já que estão disponíveis uma série de dados físico-químicos, farmacológicos, toxicológicos, dentre outros. Neste contexto, essa estratégia tem sido também empregada com sucesso na descoberta de fármacos capazes de combater a COVID-19, doença causada pelo novo coronavírus SARS-CoV-2. Um desses estudos está baseado no fármaco baricitinibe, empregado em pessoas com artrite reumatóide, que vem apresentando promissoras perspectivas contra essa doença e será abordado no presente artigo de revisão.
