Lontar (Borassus sundaicus,Beck) adalah jenis palma yang tumbuh di daerah kering. Di Indonesia, lontar banyak ditemukan di Nusa Tenggara Timur. Produk utama lontar adalah nira dari sadapan bunga, dapat diminum langsung atau diolah jadi gula. Nira yang dijadikan sumberdaya unggulan daerah ini perlu dikembangkan, sebab memberi nilai tambah terhadap pendapatan perkapita dan kesejahteraan.Pemanfaatan nira lontar sebagai gula merah cetak di Kabupaten Timor Tengah Utara (TTU) masih dominan dilakukan oleh warga etnis Sabu dan Rote. Sedangkan masyarakat lokal, suku Dawan dominan memanfaatkan nira lontar untuk minuman beralkohol (sopi). Di Kabupaten TTU, Kota Kefamenanu Kelurahan Maubeli terdapat pohon lontar yang belum dimanfaatkan. Terutama  yang memproduksi nira lontar menjadi gula merah cetak. Alat, bahan seadanya dengan proses pembuatan tanpa melalui tahapan penyaringan secara baik. Sehingga penampilan gula merahnya kurang menarik. Dampaknya harga pasaran gula di bawah harga pasaran gula merah dari daerah lain yang sudah olah secara higienis.Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah pemanfaatan nira lontar sebagai gula merah cetak melalui pelatihan dan pendampingan serta perbaikan tahapan pengolahan secara higienis, dengan perlakuan media kemasan yang menarik untuk peningkatan harga dan pendapatan petani.

Published: October 2021

Fundamento: A síndrome metabólica representa um conjunto de fatores predisponentes para desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares e outras repercussões fisiopatológicas como diminuição da capacidade aeróbia, importante marcador de mortalidade. Devido a limitações na mensuração do VO2max, estudos sobre o comportamento dos parâmetros ventilatórios em fases submáximas do exercício se fazem necessários para que possa reproduzir o desempenho geral do paciente durante esforço físico máximo. Objetivo: Comparar a capacidade cardiorrespiratória entre mulheres com síndrome metabólica e mulheres eutróficas sedentárias. Métodos: Foram avaliados 277 indivíduos (42,1 ± 5,5 anos) do sexo feminino, divididos em dois grupos, Grupo 1 – Síndrome Metabólica (SMet = 210) e Grupo 2 – Controle saudável (CS = 67), todos os pacientes realizaram o teste ergoespirométrico, que consiste na execução de exercício graduado com análise direta dos gases respiratórios. Os dados foram expressos em média e desvio-padrão e a análise inferencial realizada com o Teste T student. Para as correlações multivariadas, foi utilizado o modelo de regressão linear de stepwise. Para todos os testes, o nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Resultados: O Grupo com SMet apresentou prejuízo quando comparado ao CS no peso, índice de massa corpórea e nos fatores de risco da SMet (circunferência abdominal, glicemia, triglicérides, HDL-c (lipoproteínas de alta densidade) e pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica, p < 0,05). No Teste de Exercício Cardiopulmonar (TECP), o grupo SMet apresentou menores valores de consumo de oxigênio pico (VO2pico, 21,2 ± 4,6; e 27,5 ± 9,3 ml/kg/min, respectivamente, Interação; P < 0,05) comparados com CS. Da mesma forma, o SMet obteve menor valor para o limiar anaeróbio VO2LA (14,3 ± 7,1; e 12,1 ± 4,0; Interação; P < 0,05), correlacionando-se diretamente com as IMC (R = -0,48; P < 0,05) e CA (R =-0,47; P = 0,05). Conclusão: Pacientes com SMet apresentam diminuição da eficiência cardiorrespiratória frente ao exercício progressivo máximo.

Published: October 2021

Objective: The present study aims to investigate the incidence and predictors of atrial high-rate events (AHREs) in patients with permanent pacemaker implants.

Methods: A total of 289 patients who were implanted with a dual-chamber pacemaker due to complete atrioventricular block or symptomatic sick sinus syndrome (SSS) and had no previous history of atrial fibrillation were included in the present study. AHREs are defined as events with an atrial frequency of ≥175 bpm and a duration of ≥5 min. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether or not AHREs were detected during the follow-up: group A (AHRE+, n = 91) and group N (AHRE–, n = 198).

Results: During the 12-month follow-up period, AHREs were detected in 91 patients (31.5%). The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that patient age [odds ratio [OR] = 1.041; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.018–1.064; and P < 0.001], pacemaker implantation due to symptomatic SSS (OR = 2.225; 95% CI, 1.227–4.036; and P = 0.008), and the percentage of atrial pacing after pacemaker implantation (OR = 1.010; 95% CI, 1.002–1.017; and P = 0.016) were independent AHRE predictors.

Conclusion: The AHRE detection rate in patients with pacemaker implants was 31.5%. Patient age, pacemaker implantation due to symptomatic SSS, and the percentage of atrial pacing after pacemaker implantation were independent AHRE predictors.
Asymmetrical Warming Between Elevations May Result in Similar Plant Community Composition Between Elevations in Alpine Grasslands
Authors: Wang Jiangwei , Yu Chengqun , Fu Gang
Published: October 2021

Asymmetrical warming between elevations is a common phenomenon and warming magnitude increases with increasing elevations on the Tibetan Plateau, which in turn may reduce temperature differences between elevations. However, it is still unclear how such phenomenon will affect plant community composition in alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau. Therefore, in this study, we performed an experiment at three elevations (i.e., 4,300 m, 4,500 m, and 4,700 m) in alpine grasslands, the Northern Tibetan Plateau since May, 2010. Open top chambers were established at the elevations 4,500 m and 4,700 m. Plant species and phylogenetic composition were investigated in August, 2011–2019. There were no significant differences in plant species and phylogenetic composition, environmental temperature and moisture conditions between the elevation 4,300 m under non-warming conditions and the elevation 4,500 m under warming conditions in 2019. There were also no significant differences in plant species composition, environmental temperature and moisture conditions between the elevation 4,500 m under non-warming conditions and the elevation 4,700 m under warming conditions in 2019. Therefore, the narrowing temperature differences between elevations may result in plant community composition between elevations tending to be similar in alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau under future elevational asymmetrical warming.
Altered Degree Centrality of Brain Networks in Parkinson's Disease With Freezing of Gait: A Resting-State Functional MRI Study
Authors: Jin Chaoyang , Qi Shouliang , Teng Yueyang , Li Chen , Yao Yudong , Ruan Xiuhang , Wei Xinhua
Published: October 2021

Freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD) leads to devastating consequences; however, little is known about its functional brain network. We explored the differences in degree centrality (DC) of functional networks among PD with FOG (PD FOG+), PD without FOG (PD FOG–), and healthy control (HC) groups. In all, 24 PD FOG+, 37 PD FOG–, and 22 HCs were recruited and their resting-state functional magnetic imaging images were acquired. The whole brain network was analyzed using graph theory analysis. DC was compared among groups using the two-sample t-test. The DC values of disrupted brain regions were correlated with the FOG Questionnaire (FOGQ) scores. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed. We found significant differences in DC among groups. Compared with HCs, PD FOG+ patients showed decreased DC in the middle frontal gyrus (MFG), superior temporal gyrus (STG), parahippocampal gyrus (PhG), inferior temporal gyrus (ITG), and middle temporal gyrus (MTG). Compared with HC, PD FOG– presented with decreased DC in the MFG, STG, PhG, and ITG. Compared with PD FOG–, PD FOG+ showed decreased DC in the MFG and ITG. A negative correlation existed between the DC of ITG and FOGQ scores; the DC in ITG could distinguish PD FOG+ from PD FOG– and HC. The calculated AUCs were 81.3, 89.5, and 77.7% for PD FOG+ vs. HC, PD FOG– vs. HC, and PD FOG+ vs. PD FOG–, respectively. In conclusion, decreased DC of ITG in PD FOG+ patients compared to PD FOG– patients and HCs may be a unique feature for PD FOG+ and can likely distinguish PD FOG+ from PD FOG– and HC groups.
Proficiency in Using Level Cue for Sound Localization Is Related to the Auditory Cortical Structure in Patients With Single-Sided Deafness
Authors: Kim Ja Hee , Shim Leeseul , Bahng Junghwa , Lee Hyo-Jeong
Published: October 2021

Spatial hearing, which largely relies on binaural time/level cues, is a challenge for patients with asymmetric hearing. The degree of the deficit is largely variable, and better sound localization performance is frequently reported. Studies on the compensatory mechanism revealed that monaural level cues and monoaural spectral cues contribute to variable behavior in those patients who lack binaural spatial cues. However, changes in the monaural level cues have not yet been separately investigated. In this study, the use of the level cue in sound localization was measured using stimuli of 1 kHz at a fixed level in patients with single-sided deafness (SSD), the most severe form of asymmetric hearing. The mean absolute error (MAE) was calculated and related to the duration/age onset of SSD. To elucidate the biological correlate of this variable behavior, sound localization ability was compared with the cortical volume of the parcellated auditory cortex. In both SSD patients (n = 26) and normal controls with one ear acutely plugged (n = 23), localization performance was best on the intact ear side; otherwise, there was wide interindividual variability. In the SSD group, the MAE on the intact ear side was worse than that of the acutely plugged controls, and it deteriorated with longer duration/younger age at SSD onset. On the impaired ear side, MAE improved with longer duration/younger age at SSD onset. Performance asymmetry across lateral hemifields decreased in the SSD group, and the maximum decrease was observed with the most extended duration/youngest age at SSD onset. The decreased functional asymmetry in patients with right SSD was related to greater cortical volumes in the right posterior superior temporal gyrus and the left planum temporale, which are typically involved in auditory spatial processing. The study results suggest that structural plasticity in the auditory cortex is related to behavioral changes in sound localization when utilizing monaural level cues in patients with SSD.

The use of Daijokito has not been thoroughly investigated in critical care. To investigate a new Kampo approach to defecation control in critically ill patients, our study aimed to assess the effects of Daijokito on fecal management.

Methods: We analyzed 30 consecutive patients treated with Daijokito in the intensive care unit (ICU) between March 2017 and February 2021. The eligibility criteria were patients who were newly prescribed Daijokito in the ICU during the study period. Exclusion criteria were patients who were started on other laxatives within one day of beginning Daijokito. The study's primary outcome was defecation volume three days before and three days after starting Daijokito. We recorded the most dominant stool quality within three days after the start of Daijokito.

Results: Twenty-one patients were included in the analysis. The median age was 69.0 years, and the median sequential organ failure assessment score on admission to the ICU was 6.0. Major diseases included trauma, pancreatitis, and burns. Administration of Daijokito resulted in defecation in 17 of twenty-one patients (81.0%). Comparison of defecation volume between 3 days before Daijokito administration and three days, including the day of Daijokito administration, showed that defecation volume increased significantly after Daijokito administration, with a median of 0 to 360 g (p < 0.001). At the three-day follow-up, six of 17 (35.3%) patients defecated on the day of Daijokito administration, and nine (52.9%) defecated on the day after administration. One patient was judged to have excessive defecation, and Daijokito administration was discontinued. Stool quality was normal in one (5.9%) of the 17 patients, soft-formed in two (11.8%), loose-unformed in 11 (64.7%), and liquid in three (17.6%).

Discussion:Daijokito administration in critically ill patients caused defecation in 81% of the patients and significantly increased stool volume. The novelty of this study is that it sheds light on the Kampo treatment of defecation control in critically ill patients. In addition to the present report, further studies are warranted to quantify the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Daijokito.

Household labour migration experiences may have a staggering impact within developing countries, especially in dynamic societies like China, where labour migration is obvious. The present study’s objective is to investigate whether household labour migration contributes to the probability of farmers’ access to productive agricultural services. The study’s empirical setup is comprised of household survey data of 541 farmers in Shaanxi, Henan, and Sichuan provinces. The study proposes a counterfactual model to evaluate the average processing effect of an urban migrant with the help of the endogenous transformation of the Probit model. The results show that labour migration for work directly affects farmers’ access to productive agricultural services and indirectly affects farmers’ access to productive agricultural services through three channels: labour input, land transfers, and planting structure adjustments. The study further confirms that labour migration for work has a significant heterogeneity in the probability of obtaining productive agricultural services for farmers with or without non-agricultural income. Simultaneously, the labour migration area for work has significant heterogeneity in the probability of farmer households’ access to productive agricultural services. The government should extend support towards productive agriculture services. Agricultural demonstration services and on-hand training of migrant labour should be highlighted.

Timely and accurate rice distribution information is needed to ensure the sustainable development of food production and food security. With its unique advantages, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can monitor the rice distribution in tropical and subtropical areas under any type of weather condition. This study proposes an accurate rice extraction and mapping framework that can solve the issues of low sample production efficiency and fragmented rice plots when prior information on rice distribution is insufficient. The experiment was carried out using multitemporal Sentinel-1A Data in Zhanjiang, China. First, the temporal characteristic map was used for the visualization of rice distribution to improve the efficiency of rice sample production. Second, rice classification was carried out based on the BiLSTM-Attention model, which focuses on learning the key information of rice and non-rice in the backscattering coefficient curve and gives different types of attention to rice and non-rice features. Finally, the rice classification results were optimized based on the high-precision global land cover classification map. The experimental results showed that the classification accuracy of the proposed framework on the test dataset was 0.9351, the kappa coefficient was 0.8703, and the extracted plots maintained good integrity. Compared with the statistical data, the consistency reached 94.6%. Therefore, the framework proposed in this study can be used to extract rice distribution information accurately and efficiently.

China is an important cotton production area in the world. Since 2014, China has implemented a cotton target price subsidy policy in Xinjiang for 7 years. As the policy implementation time has lengthened, some deep-seated problems have started to emerge. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize and evaluate to clarify the future policy direction of the cotton target price subsidy policy. Based on county-level panel data of Xinjiang and Shandong from 2011 to 2018, this paper used the Propensity Score Matching—Difference in Difference method to analyze the impact of the implementation of cotton target price subsidy policy on cotton planting in Xinjiang. The results showed that: (1) after the implementation of the cotton target price subsidy policy, cotton production was stimulated by the transition, cotton producers’ enthusiasm for cotton production was higher, cotton production increased rapidly, and the yield per unit area decreased, indicating that there was a ’bubble’ in cotton cultivation. (2) The target price subsidy policy mainly achieves the expansion of the cotton planting scale by reducing the area of competitive crops. In view of the above research conclusions, this paper further explains its policy implications. It is proposed that the future cotton target price level should be formulated to fully consider the comparative benefits between different crops, to restrict the subjects that enjoy subsidies and the upper limit of subsidies, and strictly implement the concept of green development; it is necessary to guide cotton production out of ecologically vulnerable areas.
Effect of Agronomic Techniques on Aroma Composition of White Grapevines: A Review

Published: October 2021

Climate change with rising temperatures and the unpredictability of rainy events during ripening leads to tough challenges for the winemakers in preserving the quality of white grape varieties. Grape quality is a complex concept that mainly refers to berry chemical composition, including secondary metabolites such as aroma compounds that in white berries play a key role in the identity of the wine. Terpenes, thiols, C13-norisoprenoids, methoxypyrazines, and nonterpenic alcohols are the most important aroma compounds in white grapes and several of them can be found as free volatiles or bound as glycoconjugate molecules. Agronomic practices in vineyards, such as biostimulant application, irrigation, defoliation, training systems, foliar fertilization, and bunch thinning, can have a positive effect on their concentration. This review aims to highlight the aromatic characteristics of the most utilized white grape cultivars and focus on agronomic techniques in the vineyard to enhance, implement, and intensify their aromatic characteristics. The purpose of this review paper is therefore to investigate the state of the art regarding the exaltation of aroma in white grapes in the scientific literature through sustainable agronomic techniques, but further future investigations are considered necessary given the uncertainty concerning some mechanisms of biosynthesis and their correlation with such agronomic practices.

Biochar, a carbon-rich material, is highlighted to improve soil fertility, simultaneously mitigating climate change by carbon sequestration. Combined with mineral fertilizer, it can increase weediness, the major source of yield loss in agricultural production. Research with biochar was conducted in Eastern Croatia in 2016, with the aim to investigate the influence of biochar and mineral fertilizer on weed infestation and winter wheat yield. Field experiments were set up as a split-plot where biochar (B) was the main factor and fertilization was the sub factor. The main treatments were: B0 (control without biochar), B1-5 t ha−1, B2-10 t ha−1 and B3-15 t ha−1. Fertilization sublevels were F0) without fertilizer and F1) optimal dose of fertilizer. Weediness was determined by counting and measuring aboveground biomass. The treatments with the greatest effect on weediness were B3 and F1 in the winter wheat tillering stage. In the winter wheat ripening stage, treatment B3 obtained the highest weediness and F1 significantly reduced weed density. Biochar treatment B3 increased winter wheat yield by 77% in relation to the control. The application of biochar combined with fertilization affected the level of weediness depending on agroecological conditions, but with a significant increase in yield.

Purple rice is a functional food with health benefits and industrial potentials. In northern Thailand, purple rice landraces are grown either as wetland or upland rice, in the lowlands and highlands, in small amounts along with the staple rice. This study examined diversity of 37 accessions of purple rice collected from farmers with InDel cytoplasm markers for subspecies differentiation, 16 SSRs markers for within and between accessions variation, and selected grain quality features, namely, anthocyanin, iron, zinc, and gamma oryzanol content, when grown together as wetland rice. Most of the purple rice, originally grown as upland rice in both the lowlands and highlands, were identified as tropical japonica, except the wetland accessions from the lowlands that almost all belonged to the indica group. A high degree of genetic differentiation was found between the upland and wetland ecotypes, but none between those from the lowlands and highlands. A highland origin of the purple upland rice populations in the lowlands, possibly with adaptation to the upland rice cultivation of the tropical japonica, is suggested by the close genetic affinity between the highland and lowland populations of the upland ecotype. Grown in a much smaller area than the staple unpigmented rice, purple rice landraces are also less diverse genetically. Identification of purple rice landrace populations with exceptional anthocyanin and gamma oryzanol contents demonstrates that purple rice landraces can be a source of agronomically useful traits, while being an important cultural heritage, and contributing to the genetic diversity of the local rice germplasm.
Decoding Seed Quality: A Comparative Analysis of Seed Marketing Law in the EU and the United States
Authors: Batten Lin , Plana Casado Maria José , van Zeben Josephine
Published: October 2021

The European Union’s (EU) approach to safeguarding seed quality and ensuring agricultural productivity includes a range of regulatory measures related to seed marketing, including the restriction of market access to seed varieties that are properly certified. In order for varieties to be properly certified, they have to be registered in a Plant Variety Catalogue. EU seed laws, and their Member State implementation, have traditionally favoured uniform crop production of commercialised breeds over conservation varieties, which has been a contributing factor to crop genetic erosion. The United States’ (U.S.) approach to seed marketing regulation is often presented as an alternative model to the EU’s approach. In the United States, any seed can be indistinctly marketed if properly labelled. In this regulatory framework, certification and registration of seed is voluntary. In light of the continued issues regarding crop genetic erosion and the recent developments in EU seed law reform, this article examines the key elements of both regimes and considers their different approaches to market access for conservation varieties. The most important differences relate to in truth-in-labelling (U.S.) and ex ante quality control mechanisms (EU). These differences highlight that EU and U.S. seed laws must be placed in their respective broader regulatory context and that their relative comparability hinges on policy aims related to seed quality. This raises the broader question as to what the key policy aims of seed laws are and whether these oft-compared regimes are in fact analogous in terms of goals and structure.
