Aim: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of combined application of rock phosphate with water soluble phosphorus fertilizers on its efficiency in relation to soil and crop production. Methodology: Rock phosphate and single super phosphate were used as supplemental source of phosphorus and applied in variable combinations at graded doses, with maize and groundnut as test crop. Lime was applied in combination with 100% SSP to analyse its effect. The composite surface (0-15 cm) soil samples were collected at critical growth stages of maize and groundnut and further analyzed for different physical and physico-chemical characteristics. The plant samples were collected from each treatment at harvest stage for nutrient analyses. Results: Application of rock Phosphate increased the available phosphorus in soil. The combined treatment significantly influenced the yield attributes and nutrient uptake of both maize and groundnut crops. Among the combination, equal proportion of soluble single super phosphate and insoluble rock phosphate source of P outreached the other combination ratios. The highest agronomic phosphorus use efficiency and relative agronomic efficiency of the cropping sequence was obtained with the combined treatment of Single super phosphate along with lime. Interpretation: Combination of rock phosphate which has been reported to be farmer’s pocket friendly along with single super phosphate under acid soil conditions holds the potential to produce better results as compared to use of lone conventional water soluble phosphatic fertilizer like single super phosphate.

Aim: The present study aimed to explicate the diversity and plant growth promoting (PGP) potential of actinomycetes present in the rhizosphere of an endangered medicinal plant, Arnebia euchroma. Methodology: Rhizospheric soil samples of A. euchroma collected from trans-Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh were processed for elucidating actinomycetes diversity and load by employing Standard Plate Count Technique. All recovered isolates were screened for their PGP potential using standard protocols. The potential strains were identified through 16SrRNA ribotyping and were deposited in the National Culture Collection Centre, NCMR, Pune, (India). Results: The rhizosphere of A. euchroma harboured a great deal of actinomycetes diversity (33 diverse morphotypes). Starch casein agar was best for isolating the actinomycetes. The same actinomycete isolate showed variations in their morphological features including pigments production on different isolation media. They exhibited multifarious plant growth-promoting activities like P- solubilization, phytase activity, N- fixation, siderophore production etc. The potential isolates were identified as Streptomyces silaceus CA7 (MK836019) and Streptomyces rectiviolaceus NA8 (MK836018). Interpretation: The actinomycetes evinced a considerable plant growth promoting potential that might be helpful in the adaptation and perpetuation of A. euchroma under prevailing harsh environmental conditions of Himachal Pradesh.

Aim: This study investigated the production of lipids and carotenoids and associated growth properties by the oleaginous red yeast Rhodosporodium toruloides strain ATCC 204091, using C5 and C6 sugar streams of lignocellulosic waste hydrolysate separately and in combination (C5+C6). Methodology: Cell density, wet and dry biomass weight, concentration of total sugars and reducing sugars were determined at various time intervals during cell growth in media containing C5, C6 and mixed sugars. Lipid and carotenoids were extracted and the media were compared with respect to production. Results: Production of lipid (22.25%) and carotenoids (19 mg l-1) was highest in C6 sugar, as compared to mixed sugars and C5 sugar. Interpretation: Due to the versatility of Rhodosporodium toruloides strain ATCC 204091 for utilizing C6 and C5 sugars present in waste hydrolysates, it has been projected as a good choice for cultivation in “waste” hydrolysates.

Aim: To assess yield loss in different rice varieties due to rice bakanae disease and to understand the role of weather parameters on disease incidence and losses. Methodology: Roving survey and surveillance was carried out for three consecutive years to assess the status of rice bakanae disease among twenty popular rice varieties growing in Eastern India. Field experiment was conducted for three successive years, i.e., 2016, 2017 and 2018 at Cuttack. Highly susceptible variety Pooja was selected for the experiment. Data on disease incidence was collected daily from 10 days after transplanting to harvesting stage and data were recorded at standard meteorological week. Correlation was performed to find the effect of different weather parameters on the incidence of bakanae disease on rice. Results: Disease being seed borne caused significant reduction in yield and quality. The maximum disease incidence was recorded in Pooja with 18.25, 28.50 and 40.25 per cent in three years. The same variety showed maximum yield loss of 35.26 per cent compared all other varieties. The data on relationship of bakanae disease incidence with weather parameters showed that the rainfall (-0.444) had significant negative correlation during 2018, while RH (0.525 and 0.606) had significant positive correlation during 2017 and 2018. Interpretation: This study gives some information for formulating breeding programs to develop resistant varieties and management measures for preventing Bakanae disease.

Aim: To investigate the integrated use of chemical fertilizer and potential tasar silkworm (Antheraea mylitta) excreta as fertilizer on the growth, yield and quality of rice.. Methodology: A pot experiment was designed in Completely Randomized Design with four replicates with nine treatments, where Terminalia arjuna leaf litter, tasar silkworm excreta and recommended dose of chemical nitrogen fertilizer at 25%, 50% or 100% alone or in combinations was applied in transplanted rice plants. The observations were recorded for different growth parameters at 30, 60 and 90 days interval, while yield traits were recorded at the time of crop harvest. Results: Leaf litter and tasar silkworm (Antheraea mylitta Drury) excreta on growth, yield and quality of rice revealed that application of 100% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) from tasar silkworm excreta recorded significantly higher plant height, panicle length, number of grains panicle-1 and 1000 grain weight at rice harvest. While, chlorophyll index, grain yield, number of effective tillers per hill, biological and protein yield of rice recorded significantly higher in 75% recommended dose of nitrogen through chemical nitrogen fertilizer + 25% recommended dose of nitrogen from tasar silkworm excreta. Nitrogen and protein content of grain recorded statistically higher in 50% recommended dose of nitrogen through inorganic fertilizer + 50% RDN from tasar silkworm excreta. Grain yield was significantly correlated with nitrogen uptake and protein yield, plant height, effective tillers per hill, 1000 grain weight, straw and biological yield. Interpretation: Integrated use of 75% RDN through chemical nitrogen fertilizer with 25% RDN from tasar silkworm excreta is suitable for higher production that may reduce the external input of chemical nitrogen fertilizers and promote zero waste management.

Aim: Goldfish (Carassius auratus L.), a freshwater fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae, is an important ornamental fish species in the world. Herewith, we report a case of systemic mycobacteriosis along with concurrent fibroma in goldfish. Methodology: The protruding mass and internal organs exhibiting lesions were collected for histopathology and molecular diagnosis. The sections of cutaneous mass were stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson trichrome, whereas sections from spleen as well as kidney were stained with H&E and Ziehl-Neelsen. For identifying the etiological agent, 16S rRNA gene fragment was amplified and sequenced, using genus-specific primers for Mycobacterium sp. Results: In histopathology, multiple granulomas could be observed in kidney and spleen sections. Importantly, typical acid-fast bacilli were demonstrated in granulomas in spleen. The sequence of 16S rRNA gene fragment amplified from spleen and kidney showed maximum similarity to Mycobacterium stomatepiae. Besides, the histopathological characteristics of the protruding mass were consistent with cutaneous fibroma. Interpretation: These findings assume significance as several Mycobacterium species, including the current one from ornamental fish are reported to be of zoonotic significance.

Aim: This study aimed to isolate, characterize and assess the plant growth-promoting traits of bacterial isolates inhabiting the rhizosphere of Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomato) against three plants—Eruca sativa, Lepidium sativum and Raphanus sativum—from Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahsa region. Methodology: bacterial isolate designated as SLK10 was obtained from the rhizosphere of tomato grown in the Al-Ahsa region, Saudi Arabia. SLK10 was further characterized morphologically, biochemically and genotypically using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The roles in alleviating salt stress effects on three important economic crops were also assessed by implementing a cross-inoculation strategy. Results: SLK10 formed a circular, non-pigmented and raised colony with an entire margin. The cells were rod shaped and Gram negative. SLK10 displayed multiple plant growth-stimulating features, such as the solubilization of inorganic phosphate and the production of phytohormones and acetoin. Comparative sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene revealed that SLK10 belonged to Pseudomonas monteilii, to which it exhibited 99.86% sequence homology. SLK10 significantly promoted the length of primary root, stem and number of leaves in Eruca sativa, Lepidium sativumand Raphanus sativus growing under 1000 ppm salt stress. The number of leaves in L. sativum and R. sativus growing under 2000 ppm salt stress was substantially enhanced by SLK10. Interpretation: SLK10 is a plant growth-promoting bacterium and can be used as a green fertilizer to increase soil fertility and plant productivity in the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia.

Aim: To evaluate the antimicrobial activities of some aromatic essential oils against a new pathogenic Escherichia coli strain with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) activity. Methodology: A total of 66 enteric bacteria were isolated from 250 urine samples that had been collected from human patients at different hospitals in Cairo, Egypt. Virulence factors of pathogenic isolates were determined, and the antibacterial activities of cinnamon bark oil and clove oil against E. coli EMH-542017 were estimated using the VITEK 2 system; this strain was confirmed as E. coli based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence, which was deposited in NCBI GenBank. Finally, modification of the bacterial cell wall following treatment with essential oil was observed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results: The results confirmed that E. coli EMH-542017 was capable of producing hydroxamate siderophores and was resistant to 11 antibiotics, which were significantly observed with different grades. Nevertheless, screening by the combination disc method showed that 20 isolates were ESBL producers. Polymerase chain reaction analysis confirmed that the selected isolate EMH-542017 was positive for both ESBL blaCTX-M-9 genes. The addition of cinnamon and clove oils at levels of 12.5, 25, and 50 mg ml-1 was revealed to have high bactericidal effects on bacterial growth, and a change in bacterial cell morphology was detected by TEM, in which the cell wall seemed to be damaged and the flagella were lost following essential oil treatments, demonstrating that essential oil treatments are an effective means of suppressing multidrug-resistant E. coli. Interpretation: Despite these results, there is an urgent need to identify effective, safe, and economical treatments to reduce and protect against urinary tract infections in Egyptian patients.

Single-Stage Peninsula-Shaped Lateral Tongue Flap Reconstruction for Buccal Defects in Two Patients: Revisiting a Simple and Safe Reconstructive Option
Authors: Kong Yu Taek , Lim Soo Yeon , Kim Junekyu , Shin Hyun Woo , Kim Kyu Nam
Published: June 2021

Intraoral defects are increasingly reconstructed using free flaps. However, certain situations may render free flap reconstruction difficult. This study presents two cases with underlying comorbidities that underwent reconstruction of buccal defects involving the retromolar trigone (RMT), using a single-stage peninsula-shaped lateral tongue flap (pLTF). A 58-year-old woman and a 75-year-old man were diagnosed with left buccal squamous cell carcinoma and right buccal adenoid cystic carcinoma, respectively. The buccal defects extending to the RMT area were detected and covered with an ipsilateral posteriorly based pLTF after wide excision of the lesion. All flaps survived without any postoperative complications. Moreover, no tumor recurrences or functional problems were observed during the final follow-up. A single-stage pLTF is believed to represent a good alternative to free flaps in buccal and RMT defects.

Published: June 2021

Background: Pilonidal sinus, occurring in 7% of the population, is a disease found in the cleavage of the buttocks, typically in young males after puberty. This study explored the utility of the leaf flap, a unilobed fasciocutaneous transposition flap, as a reconstructive method for treating pilonidal sinus on the sacrococcygeal area.Methods: We present cases of eight patients with pilonidal sinus who underwent unilobed fasciocutaneous transposition flap surgery. Patients complaining of an abscess in the sacrococcygeal region were initially treated with a minimal incision to drain the abscess, and 14 days of antibiotics administration. Afterwards, the patients were re-evaluated at the outpatient clinic and scheduled for a leaf flap procedure 4 weeks after drainage. Hospitalization, the time required for full activity, and complication rates were recorded.Results: Minor postoperative complications were observed in one patient (12.5%). The patient required re-suturing of his wound due to an infection and wound dehiscence. The mean hospitalization was 10 days (range, 5–23 days), and the period required to return to daily activities was 4 weeks.Conclusion: The leaf flap procedure is recommended because it is a relatively easy method for surgeons, and also because the flap has abundant perfusion. This surgical method was used as the first treatment of choice for sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus, with the advantages of less patient discomfort, fast healing of the site and short hospitalization. Our results support the leaf flap surgery as a favored treatment for pilonidal sinus.

Published: June 2021

O conceito de beleza sofreu, historicamente, muitas alterações baseadas no estilo de vida de cada época. Entretanto, os padrões estéticos mais aceitos em cada sociedade atenderam apenas a uma minoria populacional. No início do século XXI cresceu a busca pelo corpo magro, fortemente relacionado à noção de perfeição, autocontrole e atratividade sexual. Esse padrão de corpo constantemente leva adolescentes à auto-insatisfação e ao desenvolvimento de transtornos alimentares. Este trabalho relata a experiência de uma oficina temática voltada para alunas do Instituto Federal do Paraná, IFPR - Campus Paranavaí, na qual se trabalhou a pressão dos padrões estéticos. A oficina foi oferecida para estudantes de ensino médio do sexo feminino e contou com a presença de 39 participantes. Inicialmente, foram expostos os aspectos teóricos do conceito de belo e do desenvolvimento dos padrões estéticos. Após isso, vídeos e discursos veiculados nas redes sociais usadas pelas adolescentes foram usados a fim de estimular o diálogo e a aproximação, fomentando a discussão do tema. Um questionário anônimo previamente validado sobre percepção corporal foi aplicado e mostrou que 67% das meninas presentes na oficina tem uma percepção ruim envolvendo o próprio corpo. Ao final, foi realizada uma roda aberta para discussões e relatos pessoais, onde elas puderam exteriorizar seus medos, traumas, receios e pensamentos. Demonstrou-se a tamanha importância desse tema para a socialização das jovens, contribuindo para a desconstrução do estresse psicológico causado pela pressão midiática no público feminino.

Background: The introduction of integrated thoracic surgery residency
programs has led to increased recruitment efforts of medical students to
pursue a career in cardiac surgery. With little representation of
cardiac surgery in medical school curriculum, we assessed a cardiac
surgery mini-elective’s efficacy in improving perceived knowledge among
medical students. Methods: Preclinical medical students were offered the
opportunity to participate in a cardiac surgery mini-elective, which
consisted of five 2-hour sessions. These sessions consisted of didactic
and simulation components and covered topics including cardiopulmonary
bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), aortic
disease, aortic valve replacement (AVR), transplant and left ventricular
assist devices (LVAD), and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Students completed pre- and post-session survey’s describing their
perceived knowledge in these topics. Results: Overall, 22 students
completed at least one session of the mini-elective. Fourteen (73.7%)
of the students were male. Fifteen (68.2%) students completed at least
three out of five sessions. The post-session survey responses showed
significantly higher perceived knowledge compared to pre-session
responses for all survey prompts of all five sessions. The CPB/ECMO and
aortic disease sessions showed the greatest increase in post-session
familiarity and perceived knowledge after the session
(p<0.001) compared to the CABG, AVR, and transplant/LVAD
sessions (p<0.05). Conclusions: Beyond developing interest in
cardiac surgery, these data indicate that a well-planned didactic and
surgical simulation program may build confidence in students’ knowledge
of various cardiac surgical topics. Further studies will need to address
how this increase in perceived ability lasts over time and impacts
career selection.

High rates of erosion and runoff production on road infrastructure have
been documented, indicating that unpaved roads might be significant
sources of sediment in catchments. In this paper, the production of
surface sediments from unpaved rural roads at different scales is
assessed. The study took place in northeastern Brazil, in a semiarid
area of the Caatinga biome, vulnerable to desertification. Sediment
production data from road surface segments were monitored for two years
(2013-2014) under conditions of natural precipitation. By using
hydrosedimentological modeling and Geographic Information System (GIS),
the sediment budget was calculated at the meso-scale basin (aprox. 930
km²), in order to identify the relative contribution of roads to the
sediment balance. Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) associated with
Maner’s sediment delivery ratio (SDR) equation, proved to be an adequate
approach for predicting sediment yield on the road segment scale; the
best results were obtained for the road without traffic, due to the
non-interference in this segment of external factors, such as traffic
and maintenance activities, not explicitly considered in the model
formulation. The modeling procedure showed that the roads, which occupy
only 0.7% of the catchment surface, were responsible for approximately
7% of soil loss in the area. Furthermore, sediment connectivity might
be enhanced by roads, which cross the river network and, therefore,
deliver more directly the sediment generated at hillslopes. This is
particularly important in the studied environment, where sediment
connectivity is low due to limited runoff and the existence of a dense
network of surface water reservoir

Abstract Objective: This study aims to investigate the factors that lead
to poor compliance in initiating the treatment in patients with newly
diagnosed head and neck cancers. Design: Retrospective cohort study
Particpants: Data from a total of 271 patients were retrieved and
analyzed. After excluding patients with (1) multiple cancers (2)
inconclusive diagnoses, (3) rare primary cancer sites, such as the nasal
cavity, paranasal sinuses, or salivary glands and (4) primary site
unknown, a total of 194 patients were included in this study. Main
outcome measures: The variables included in the analysis were age,
gender, primary cancer site, T stage, N stage, M stage, overall stage
(I-IV), patient’s residential distance, and the impact of COVID-19.
Univariate and multivariate analyses were employed to evaluate the
significance of these variables in regard to affecting the time to
receiving on-time treatment based on the specialist’s suggestion.
Results: Upon multivariate analysis, the primary site, stage, and
residential distance were significantly associated with initial
compliance (P<0.05). The impact of COVID-19 showing a
borderline significance (p=0.137). Conclusion: The primary site, overall
stage, patient living distance to the healthcare facility, and the
impact of COVID-19 might affect the compliance of initiating a
curative-intent treatment in patients with newly diagnosed head and neck
cancers.

Authors: Daniel  Dudek  , Konieczny Kazimierz
Published: June 2021

Współczesny fibrobeton to materiał złożony ze spoiwa, z kruszywa mineralnego, piasku, wody i włókien dodawanych do matrycy cementowej. Dodatek tych włókien do mieszanki betonowej zmienia w zasadniczysposób zachowania się kruchego tradycyjnego betonu na materiał quasi-plastyczny, co powoduje, że nawet po pojawieniu się pierwszych rys w konstrukcji nie występują kruche zniszczenia. Podstawowymi czynnikami zewnętrznymi, które mogą wpływać na odporność na obciążenie, są w szczególności różne parametrymontażowe stalowych łączników, stan podłoża (możliwe pęknięcia), wielkość ziaren podłoży betonowych oraz dodatkowe zbrojenie w postaci rozproszonych włókien tworzywowych i stalowych. W pracy określono zmiany nośności stalowych łączników rozporowych w zależności od średnicy wierconego otworu, szerokościzainicjowanej rysy oraz domieszki włókien tworzywowych i stalowych. Badania przeprowadzono na podłożach betonowych klasy C20/25 z odpowiednimi domieszkami włókien. Do badań wybrano dwa powszechnie stosowane w budownictwie rodzaje stalowych łączników rozporowych: pierścieniowe i tulejowe o średnicy M12.
Nośność i stateczność konstrukcji z węzłami podatnymi na przesuw
Authors: Jan Zamorowski
Published: June 2021

W literaturze szeroko jest analizowane zagadnienie dystrybucji sił wewnętrznych w konstrukcjach prętowych w zależności od podatności węzłów na obrót. Rzadziej natomiast dyskutowane są wyniki badań takich konstrukcji z węzłami podatnymi na przesuw. W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono przykłady konstrukcji, w przypadku których podatność połączeń zakładkowych na przesuw decydowała o ich nośności i stateczności, a także stanach granicznych użytkowania. Opisano mało wyniosłą kopułę, przekrycie hali wystawowej w Chorzowie, która w 2006 r. uległa zawaleniu, oraz wieżę telefonii komórkowej. Wykorzystano przy tym modele mechaniczne opisujące metodą składnikową sztywność różnych połączeń zakładkowych na obrót i przesuw oraz przedstawiono model matematyczny Kishiego i Chena, który służy do modelowania podatności połączeń zakładkowych przy obciążeniach przemiennych. Uzyskane wyniki wskazały, że w przypadku mało wyniosłej kopuły o awarii zadecydowały luzy w połączeniach. W przekryciu hali wystawowej w Chorzowie podatność połączeń doprowadziła do nadmiernego wytężenia niektórych płatwi kratowych, co mogło zainicjować katastrofę. Z kolei rzadko uwzględniana podatność połączeń przy projektowaniu wież telefonii komórkowych może doprowadzić do nadmiernego wychylenia krawężników wież, na których są zawieszone anteny radiolinii, a przez to może zakłócać transmisję danych. Na podstawie przeprowadzonej analizy można wnioskować o potrzebie uwzględniania wpływu podatnych węzłów nie tylko w konstrukcjach wrażliwych na deformację (np. mało wyniosła kopuła), ale też w konstrukcjach, w których decydujący może być stan graniczny użytkowania (np. wieże telefonii komórkowej).

In this paper, an efficient numerical approach is proposed to maximize the minimal damping of modes in a prescribed frequency range for general viscous tuned-mass systems. Methods of decomposition and numerical synthesis are considered on the basis of the adaptive schemes. The influence of dynamic vibration absorbers and basic design elastic and damping properties is under discussion. A technique is developed to give the optimal DVA’s for the elimination of excessive vibration in sinusoidal and impact forced system. One task of this work is to analyze parameters identification of the dynamic vibration absorber and the basic structure. The questions of robustness at optimization of DVA are considered. Different types of control management for semi-active DVA’s are applied. Examples of DVA’s practical implementation are presented.
Meditatio mortis meditating on death, philosophy and gender in late antique hagioraphy
Authors: Munkholt Christensen Maria
Published: June 2021

According to Socrates, as he is described in Plato?s Phaedo, the definition
of a true philosopher is a wise man who is continuously practicing dying and
being dead. Already in this life, the philosopher tries to free his soul
from the body in order to acquire true knowledge as the soul is
progressively becoming detached from the body. Centuries after it was
written, Plato?s Phaedo continued to play a role for some early Christian
authors, and this article focuses on three instances where Christian women
mirror Socrates and/or his definition of philosophy. We find these instances
in hagiographical literature from the fourth and fifth centuries at
different locations in the Roman Empire - in the Lives of Macrina, Marcella
and Syncletica. These texts are all to varying degrees impacted by Platonic
philosophy and by the ideal of the male philosopher Socrates. As women
mastering philosophy, they widened common cultural expectations for women,
revealing how Christian authors in certain contexts ascribed authority to
female figures.
