Published: November 2020

Background: Globally, rice yellow stem borer alone causes yield losses of 10 m t accounting for 50 per cent of all insecticides usage in the rice field farmers depend upon a plenty of insecticide applications, even though a lot of insecticide applications are not effectual (Sarwar et al., 2005). The over- reliance on use of chemicals to manage this pest had lead to numerous undesirable consequences like disrupting natural enemy complexes, secondary pest outbreaks, pest resurgence, development of insecticide resistance and environmental pollution. Keeping in view the deleterious effects of chemical pesticides, there is a need to evaluate alternate methods or integrated methods to manage the rice stem borer effectively without any menace to the ecological niche. Hence, a research trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of various pest management modules against rice stem borer in comparison to farmers practice and sole chemical control, besides in concern to yield and cost economics.
Methods: The field efficacy of various pest management modules viz., non-chemical based, non-chemical + biorational methods, chemical-based, IPM module and farmers practice against rice yellow stem borer were evaluated during the wet season and dry seasons of 2016 and 2017. The experimental was laid in a net area of 10 m x 20 m each plot laid in Randomized Block Design which comprised of five treatments (modules) with four replications. The incidence of rice yellow stem borer (YSB) in various modules in terms of percent dead hearts (% DH) during tillering stage and percent white ears (%WE) during maturing stage were recorded.
Result: It was evident from the pooled mean data that among various modules, the least per cent dead hearts (2.68 and 2.56% DH ) and white ears (2.79 and 2.31% WE) were registered in IPM based module followed by farmers practice (2.31 and 2.32% dead hearts and 3.92 and 4.77% white ears) and chemical-l based module (2.90 and 4.24% dead hearts and 5.59 and 5.18% white ears) as against highest incidence in non- chemical (13.78 and 13.7% dead hearts; 18.24 and 17.94% white ears) and non- chemical + bio rational (11.40 and 9.88% dead hearts; 13.09 and 11.25% white ears ) based modules during the wet season and dry season, respectively.

Published: November 2020

Background: Pulses in Indian agriculture hold a vital position. They are considered as a rich source of vegetable protein, vitamins, minerals and calories to the entire vegetarians in India. Due to long and indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers, there is deterioration of soil health and hence decrease in productivity. Nutrient mobilizers such as Rhizobium, PGPRs are biological microorganisms that help in atmospheric N2 fixation along with phosphorous solubilization hence; increase the availability of nutrients to the plants.
Methods: In this paper a field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the influence of nutrient mobilizers along with recommended dose of fertilizers on productivity and nutrient uptake in blackgram.
Result: A pronounced effect of nutrient mobilizers was observed on the yield attributing characters of urdbean. Maximum number of seeds per pod, 1000-seed weight, grain yield, straw yield, harvest index, maximum nutrient content and uptake in grain and straw was observed in the treatment T11 (Zn Nm + PGPR + ZnO @ 28.0 kg/ha + Rh+ RDF) followed by T10 (Rh + Zn Nm + PGPR + ZnO @ 14.0 kg/ha + RDF). It can be concluded that nutrient mobilizers not only increase the yield attributes in blackgram but also responsible for increase in nutrient content in the grains which ultimately signals positive attitude regarding nutritional security of the nation.

Published: November 2020

Background: Cluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.], with vernacular name of Guar, is annual, economically important and drought-hardy legume (Mondal and Gera, 2020) salinity tolerant grown under semiarid and subtropical regions. It is cultivated under both irrigated and rainfed condition in India (Rathod et al. 2020). India is its major producer, accounting for 80% of world’s total production (Meena et al., 2018). Cluster bean is grown in India on 5.60 Mha and produces of 2.82 million tonnes with a low national average yield of merely 504 kg/ha (Anonymous, 2019).
Methods: The experiments were conducted at the Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, SK Rajasthan Agricultural University (SKRAU), Bikaner during kharif seasons of 2018 and 2019. The Farm is situated on Bikaner - Sriganganagar road situated at 28°4’21" NL latitude and 73°20’17" EL longitude with an altitude of 234.7 meters above the mean sea level. The experiment was laid out in strip plot design in three factors with 32 treatments comprising four tillage, two herbicide and four planting delay treatments. Statistical analysis by using STAR (R-Packages 1.5 STAR 2.0.) (Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research), software developed by Department of Plant Breeding Genetics and Biotechnology, IRRI (International Rice Research Institute), Manila, Phillipines.
Result: The disc plough (T2), control (H0) and early planting P1 (July 10) significantly increased N, P, K, total nutrient uptake and partial nutrient balance (PBN) than other treatments. All the interactions were found significant in nutrient of cluster bean. The seed and straw yield of cluster bean was found significantly higher in disc plough (T2), control (H0) and early planting P1 (July 10) compared to other treatments of pooled basis. The interactions were found significant between tillage × herbicide × planting delay in yield of cluster bean.

Authors: Jain S.K. , Sharma L.D. , Gupta K.C. , Kumar Vipen , Yadav M.R.
Published: November 2020

Background: Among all the pulses, chickpea is the most important rabi crop with high acceptability and wider use in India. More availability of quality seed of improved varieties being made available to the famers is one of the most important factors contributing to better harvest of chickpea in recent years. Therefore, there is urgent need for developing high yielding varieties of chickpea employing sound and effective breeding strategies. The study of variability, correlation and path coefficient analysis for seed yield with other yield contributing characters is of immense importance to get information regarding exercising selections for genetic improvement in chickpea.Methods: A total of 40 genotypes of chickpea were undertaken for present study and these genotypes evaluated in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications at Rajasthan Agricultural Research Institute (SKNAU), Jaipur Rajasthan, India under late sown conditions during rabi 2019-20. The experimental unit was four row plots of 4 m long and spacing between row to row was kept to 30 cm and plant to plant was 10 cm. The genetic parameters viz., mean GCV, PCV, broad sense heritability, genetic advance (GA), correlation coefficient and path analysis were estimated.Result: Genotypes revealed significant wide genetic variation for almost all the quantitative traits. Number of pods plant-1 exhibited highest PCV and GCV. The highest broad sense heritability (h2b) was recorded for days to maturity followed by days to 50% flowering and 100-seed weight. The 100-seed weight, number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1 and primary branches plant-1 had positive genotypic correlation with grain yield. Path coefficient analysis depicted that among the 9 causal (independent) traits; number of seeds pod-1, number of pods plant-1, number of primary branches plant-1, plant height from ground to first pod (cm) and days to 50% flowering had positive and directly influence on grain yield. Therefore these traits can be taken into consideration while exercising selection for grain yield in chickpea.

Triglycerides are one of the blood lipid components and their increasing values are a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Working out helps to reduce fat in the body as well as to balance the amount of energy uptake vs. energy use. Vitamin E is a liposoluble antioxidant tissue that supports the lipid peroxidation chain, thus preventing the oxidation and, in turn, acting as a triglyceridemia reducing agent. This study aims to evaluate the serum concentrations of triglycerides in Equi after doing a physical effort and receiving vitamin E. The study included ten horses that did a long-run workout session in two rounds: the first one without receiving any supplement; the second one, receiving vitamin E supplements. Blood samples were collected in the rounds: one before the test (M0), immediately after the workout (PE) and at the 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 96 hours. An increase was observed in the serum concentration of triglycerides in both rounds, with higher values in the second round. The study did not find any reduction in the triglyceridemia among Equi receiving vitamin E supplements
The Strategy of Russia's Demographic Development: Its Determinants and Centuries-old Vector
Authors: Rybakovsky Leonid , Kozhevnikova Natalia
Published: November 2020

The article gives the author's idea of the concept of "strategy" and its specification in relation to demographic development. The difference between the concept of "strategy" and the concept of "concept", which defines a particular policy, carried out in a certain tactical period of the country's demographic development, is shown. Such is, for example, the time of the collectivization and industrialization of the country in the Soviet Union or the 90s of the twentieth century in modern Russia, when the replacement of the socialist structure by the capitalist (market economy) was intensively carried out. The concept of "strategy of demographic development" means a unidirectional vector, focused on achieving certain results, calculated for a long historical period and conditioned not by momentary considerations or temporarily emerging situations, but by the fundamental national interests of the state. The article shows what economic and, most importantly, geopolitical features of a particular country determine the nature of its demographic development strategy. Based on the history of the formation of the Russian state, its territorial expansion, and the centuries-old attitude of the states that determined world politics to it, the substantiation of the geopolitically necessary strategic goal of its demographic development is given. It is shown that in the modern world Russia can maintain its geopolitical status, inviolability of borders, i.e. its territory with its natural resources and geographical advantages only if it builds up its demographic potential. The article examines the periods of the demographic development of Russia, the first of which dates back to the time of the formation of the Russian Empire up to the October Revolution. The second period covers the Soviet period with its pre-war and post-war years, during which, with a few exceptions, there was an upward demographic dynamics. In the third period, and this is the functioning of Russia as an independent state, in the demographic development of which radical changes took place. These periods have not only different socio-economic and political features, but also differ in the nature of population dynamics and changes in its geographical distribution.
Trends in standardization of toponyms ending with -ova/-ovo, -eva/-evo, -ina/-ino
Authors: Dambuev Igor A.
Published: November 2020

We investigate the features of variable names standardization of villages ending with
-ova/-ovo, -eva/-evo, -ina/-ino. The relevance of the study is to improve the standardization of geographical names in order to ensure their unified and consistent use. The novelty of the study consists in the use of quantitative research methods towards the toponymy of different time sam-ples covering the last century and a half. As a source of variable and standardized names of villages, the State catalog of geographical names, normative legal acts, reference books of administrative divisions, lists of localities of the Russian Empire, and topographic maps are used. The toponymy of the territories of the modern Moscow, Bryansk, Vologda, Kaluga, Kurgan and Sverdlovsk regions is subjected to quantitative analysis. We establish that in the second half of the 19th century the names of villages ending with -ova, -eva, -ina prevailed in a quantitative sense over the names of villages ending with -ovo, -evo, -ino. Over the next century and a half, the proportion of names ending with -ova, -eva, -ina in all the analyzed regions consistently decreased, while the proportion of names with -ovo, -evo, -ino grew. If currently in some regions the names of villages with -ova, -eva, -ina are practically absent, in others they may still prevail over names with -ovo,
-evo, -ino. This fact should be considered when standardizing variable toponyms.
Emotive boundaries of ecology
Authors: Solodovnikova Nataliia G.
Published: November 2020

We describe the established relationship between linguoecology and emotioology, which is manifested in the emergence and development of emotive linguoecology. We substantiate the use “ecology” concept in the refraction of emotivity. We consider the influence of emotivity on the boundaries of ecology. The material of the work is an artistic emotive text, on the example of which its ecology is established by the method of emotive analysis. As an assumption, the follow-ing is accepted: emotive analysis is universally applicable to any text, both in terms of its func-tional, stylistic, and genre affiliation, and in terms of its temporal relevance; ecology of the text is related to the emotional motivation of its author and is determined by the rating sign of emotives in the text. The main result of the work is to clarify the emotional coordinates of ecology by refer-ring to the role of emotions as the motivational basis of all human activity. The work concludes that ecology is manifested in the emotional motivation of the author who produces an emotive text. We noted why the relationship between emotive and ecological linguistics ensures their mutual development and resilience. We list the main emotive perspectives of linguoecology and linguoecological perspectives of emotionology. We predict the possibilities of their further integration.

In the article we determine the suitability of the phytocenose as a basic unit for determining soil susceptibility to mechanized logging. A total of 90 measurements of skid trail profiles were taken on a 13.9 km long sample transect. The forest infrastructure studied was categorized into primary and secondary skid trails, trails intended for CTL harvesting and undocumented trails. The following indicators were determined on the profiles: tyre track depth, trail width, trail slope, amount of rock present, presence of roots and road category. The deepest ruts were found in Blechno-Fagetum (6.9 cm), followed by Galio rotundifolii-Abietetum (6.4 cm) and Hacquetio-Fagetum (5.6 cm), while the shallowest ruts were found in Omphalodo-Fagetum (5.3 cm). The deepest ruts were found on primary skid trails (7.0 cm), followed by secondary skid trails (5.8 cm), while the shallowest ruts were found on skid trails used by CTL technology and on undocumented trails (1.9 cm). No significant difference in track depth was found between the four individual phytosociological units, but more extensive research should be conducted in the future.

Published: November 2020

A cerebral aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of a brain blood vessel with a risk to rupture. It occurs in about 2% of the population, somewhat more often in women. Most aneurysms are located in the anterior circulation area. Aneurysm rupture is relatively rare and accounts for 5% of all cerebrovascular brain incidents. Ruptured and asymptomatic/unruptured aneurysms are often treated surgically at the Department of Neurosurgery, Medical School University of Zagreb. The study included 134 patients after cerebral aneurysm surgery during the last 10 years, and neuropsychological testing was performed on average 77 days after surgery. The average age was 52 years and they completed an average of 12 years of education. In the group of patients included in this study, 40.3% of them were operated after ruptured, and 59.7% for unruptured cerebral aneurysm. Most aneurysms were located in the middle cerebral and anterior communicating arteries. With regard to lateralization, there was an equal number of aneurysms located in the right and left hemisphere and bilaterally (on the anterior communicating artery). As part of regular neuropsychological assessment, tests of verbal learning and memory (numerical, logical and mechanical memory) were applied. The aims of the study were to find out whether patients operated for ruptured cerebral aneurysms show greater verbal memory impairments than patients operated for unruptured cerebral aneurysms and whether there was the significant effect of lateralization of aneurysm (to check the interaction effect of both rupture and lateralization on those functions). The results obtained show that, even though there are no statistically significant differences between groups of patients that underwent surgery for ruptured and unruptured brain aneurysm, patients show a trend of somewhat better results on most of the verbal memory functions after surgery for unruptured brain aneurysm. The results show statistically significant difference between groups of patients that underwent surgery for ACoA aneurysm and those with right lateralized cerebral aneurysms on most of the trails on AVLT test. Also, patients with operated ACoA aneurysm have significantly worse scores in learning process (AVLT 3 and AVLT 4) and especially on short-term and long-term verbal memory than the patients who were operated for left or right lateralized aneurysm.
Memahami Sensionalisme dalam Berita Televisi: Perspektif Evolusi Biologi
Authors: Naru Gentur Agustinus
Published: November 2020

Although there have been many studies regarding sensationalism on television, there have not been enough studies to explain why sensational news always attracts viewers' attention regardless of space or time difference. Encouraged by this background, this research tries to answer the question, "What makes sensational news interesting to television viewers?" Inspired by a biological evolutionary perspective, this article formulates a hypothesis that reads, "Sensationalism can draw the attention of the audience because sensational news arouses the most basic instincts of humans, namely the mode of survival (Gurven, 2017)". In this view, the model has become inherent in humans as a result of the evolutionary process. In other words, this hypothesis also believes that audience interest in sensational news is universal rather than contextual.

 

This article explores a variety of literature in biology, psychology, and communication to try to answer that hypothesis. In order to that, this article is divided into three main sections. We will first explore the history of sensational journalism on television to show the historicity of sensational topics and techniques on television. Second, we will demonstrate the philosophical roots of an evolutionary biology view that explains the relationship between information stimuli and the workings of the human brain and the basic instincts we have carried since evolution thousands of years ago. Finally, we will show studies that prove empirically how news patterns (both sensational topics and production formats) impact viewing interest.

On Carboniferous Gigantism and Atomic Shrinking
Authors: Haraux Alain
Published: November 2020

A long standing problem in paleontology is the presence of giant arthropods during the so-called carboniferous era. The same difficulty occurs for the size of plants at the same period. We devise a possible answer to this question entirely different from the theories developed until now, based on the hypothesis that the size of atoms is decaying for very large times and the dimensions of polymers such as chitin and cellulose, containing expansible holes, are decreasing more slowly than rigid materials such as metals, alloys, composite materials and stone. Incidentally, this hypothesis might also give an alternative statement to the expansion of space.

Heavy load carrying of water, firewood, and sand/stones is a ubiquitous activity for women living in developing countries. Although the intra-abdominal pressure associated with heavy load carrying is hypothesized to increase the risk of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) among women, relevant epidemiologic data are lacking. We conducted a comparative study involving two exploratory cross-sectional studies among convenience samples of women carrying heavy loads, with different characteristics: (1) as part of their activities for daily living, in Shinyanga region, Tanzania; and (2) working as sand miners in Pokhara, Nepal. Women were categorized has having “low” or “high” load-carrying exposures based on the measured weights of the loads being carried at the time of the survey, as well as on self-reported duration and frequency of load carrying. A summary score for reproductive health discomfort suggestive of POP was generated using questions from the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory (POPDI-6). Women with higher load carrying exposures had on average higher reproductive health discomfort scores in both Tanzania (adjusted prevalence difference (PDa)=3.7; 95% CI: -3.8-11.3; p=0.33) and Nepal (PDa=9.3; 95% CI: -4.9-23.6; p=0.18). We identified trends suggestive of an association between increasing heavy load carrying exposures and symptoms of reproductive health discomfort. Our findings underscore the need for larger epidemiologic studies of the potential adverse reproductive health effects of heavy load carrying activities on women in developing countries.

Citrus essential oils (EOs) have various bioactivities like antioxidants, with many applications. Antioxidant activities depend on the chemical compositions of the EOs, which are affected by climate, soil, and geographical region. Thus, investigations on chemical compositions and antioxidant activities of Citrus EOs in different countries are valuable. In this study, we distilled EOs from peels of Indonesian-grown Citrus, including C. nobilis, C. limon, C. aurantifolia, C. amblycarpa, and Citrus spp.Chemical compositions of EOs were analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS), whereas the antioxidant activities were determined by employing 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to elucidate the main contributing compounds for antioxidant activity. The results show that all EOs possess unique chemical characteristics, with limonene as the majority constituent. For antioxidant activities, C. limon and C. amblycarpa EOs are the two strongest, IC50 values below 7.00 μL/mL. PCA approach suggests that -terpinene mainly contributes to the high antioxidant activities of C. limon and C. amblycarpa. Moreover, o-cymene, thymol, p-cymene, and α-pharnesene may also be responsible for the antioxidant activity of C. limon EO. These results are valuable information for the applications of Citrus EOs as antioxidant sources.

Published: November 2020

The paper makes a critical assessment of urban development in Nigeria against the backdrop of a rapidly changing population and growth rate. The Authors interrogated the effects of development control- mechanisms through the lenses of identified social anomalies in three selected pilot cities of Nigeria (Kaduna, Abuja FCT, and Lagos). Thematic areas examined include, the state of critical infrastructure, population dynamics, urban sprawl, city polarization, transportation, waste management systems, security/crime and economics. The Authors identified structural transformation of three Nigerian cities with focus on the causes and attendant consequences on urban development. The study found that urban growth has over-stretched the state of critical infrastructure in the cities and the mechanisms of development control seem ineffective in stemming unregulated growth, compromises and unplanned ‘development’. The paper noted that the impact of these developments has overstretched the state of critical infrastructure with far-reaching consequences. The authors conclude with some recommendations for strategic planning and sustainable development strategies aimed at mitigating the problems of urban development in Nigeria.
Az egészséges környezethez való jog, mint alapvető emberi jog – Lehetséges megközelítések az egyes emberi jogvédelmi mechanizmusok gyakorlata alapján, különös tekintettel az őslakos népeket érintő kérdésekre
Authors: Marinkás György

The aim of the author is to examine the nexus between the development of the indigenous peoples’ rights – which came like a blast – and the prevalence of the right to a healthy environment. As another goal, the author aims to reveal how the protection of indigenous peoples’ rights can facilitate the realisation of environmental protection and sustainable development goals. In order to achieve his goals, the author – after clarifying the definitions in the first chapter – introduces the indigenous peoples and healthy environment related practice of the three regional human rights protection mechanisms – namely the European, the Inter-American and the African – in the second chapter. In the third chapter, the author briefly introduces those rights of the indigenous peoples, which could serve the protection of indigenous peoples’ rights and the positive and negative examples. The author draws his conclusions in the last chapter.

Published: November 2020

The purpose of this study was to describe how Ma’had Al-Jami’ah designed the message of religious antiradicalism in Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN, State Islamic Institute) Salatiga. In this study, communication design was interpreted as a creative strategy from Ma’had Al-Jami’ah through informative and transformative messages. The strategy started from how the idea was expressed and who would be the messenger. This study used a qualitative method with descriptive case studies. The collecting data techniques in this study were in depth interview, observation, and documentation techniques. The results obtained from this study were that although there is no antiradicalism communication design that is detailed, structured, and massive and is still on a small scale, but efforts to counteract radicalism have been carried out by Ma’had Al-Jami’ah IAIN Salatiga. This is done by the manager, instructor, caregiver and management. Starting from the selection of teachers, the contents of the material, and presenters in a variety of formal and informal activities, updating maqalah (quote) about the love peace message of Islam the WhatsApp group management. The recommendations found in this study are: (1) the importance of a comprehensive explanation of the antiradicalism benefits; (2) revitalizing the role of Ma’had Al-Jami’ah as an antiradicalism agent on campus; and (3) a structured and massive campaign is needed that covered the entire academic community of IAIN Salatiga, given the heterogeneous input of students.

Background: Ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal condition in which implantation of the blastocyst occurs outside the endometrium of the uterus. It is gynecological important, particularly in the developing world, because of associated with enormous rate of high morbidity, during the first trimester of pregnancy. A better understanding of its risk factors can help to prevent its prevalence. However, the determinants of ectopic pregnancy are not well understood and few researches conducted in our country were based on secondary data covering small scale area. This study aimed to identify determinants of ectopic pregnancy among pregnant women attending referral hospitals in Southwestern part of Oromia regional state, Southwest Ethiopia.Methods: Hospital-based case control study was employed from June 1 to September 30, 2019. The study was conducted in five referral hospitals in Southwestern part of Oromia regional state. Final sample size includes 59 cases and 118 controls. Data were entered by using Epidata version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Descriptive statistics were used to explore the data. All explanatory variables with p-value of <0.25 in bi-variable analysis, then entered into multivariable logistic regression. Associated factors were identified at 95% confidence interval (p <0.05).Results: Out of 177 (59 cases and 118 controls) participants, 174 (58 cases and 116 controls) were participating in the study. Prior two or more induced abortions [AOR=3.95:95% CI: 1.22-13.05], previous history of caesarean section [AOR=3.4:95% CI: 1.11-10.94], marital status (being single) [AOR=4.04:95%CI: 1.23-13.21], reporting prior recurrent sexual transmitted infection [AOR=2.25:95%CI: 1.00-5.51], prior history of tubal surgery [AOR=3.32:95%CI: 1.09-10.13], were more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy with their respective AOR with 95%CI.Conclusions: It was found that having a history of more than two induced abortions during previous pregnancies, marital status (single), recurrent sexual transmitted infection, prior history of tubal surgery and experiencing prior caesarean section were found to be determinants of ectopic pregnancy. Hospitals should give emphasis on prevention and early detection of risks of ectopic pregnancy and create awareness in order to reduce the burden of ectopic pregnancy.
A prospective observational case-controlled pilot study protocol on natural killer cell activity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus taking empagliflozin
Authors: Roy Sayak , Chatterjee Anindita
Published: November 2020

Belonging to the innate immune system, natural killer (NK) cells play crucial roles in various kinds of cancers and other pathologies. The function and development of NK cells are regulated and enhanced by various inflammatory cytokines like common-γ chain family cytokines, transforming growth factor-β, interleukin (IL)-3, IL-10, IL-12, and IL-18. It has been found that their activity, as measured by interferon gamma assay release method, is decreased in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as well as prediabetes and is directly related to the degree of glycemic control. The multiple mechanisms shown by sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors (SGLT2Is) to address glycemic as well as non-glycemic inflammatory pathways make them an ideal candidate in most of our obese patients with T2DM since most of them are at higher cardiovascular (CV) risk. Obesity, a common comorbidity in T2DM, is also a known contributor of decreased NK cell activity. Since SGLT2Is have an indirect anti-inflammatory property, hence this study is intended to investigate any change in the NKC activity after initiating empagliflozin over 4 weeks in a cohort of well-controlled diabetic population.
