Published: August 2022

La esterilidad genética masculina poco se ha empleado en el mejoramiento poblacional del trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) en México, a pesar de ser una técnica que facilita practicar esquemas de selección recurrente con la misma eficiencia teórica y con las ventajas que se logra en las plantas alógamas. El objetivo del presente trabajo es presentar resultados del uso de la androesterilidad en el mejoramiento poblacional de trigo en México y mencionar las perspectivas de su utilización. Empleando la técnica MSFRS (esterilidad masculina para facilitar la selección recurrente) se han logrado incrementos en el rendimiento de grano por ciclo hasta de 4.7 % en la evaluación de plantas individuales después de tres ciclos de selección y hasta de 6.8 % en la evaluación de familias F4 después de dos ciclos de selección. Así mismo, con esa técnica se logra un ciclo de selección recurrente en un ciclo de cultivo, es rápida y efectiva para mejorar una base genética, y es económica y práctica la forma como se lleva a cabo la recombinación y el mejoramiento poblacional de caracteres poligénicos; además, la ganancia genética se espera mantener a través del tiempo al conservar la variabilidad dentro de las poblaciones. Las perspectivas del uso de la androesterilidad en la genotecnia de trigo en México están en el mejoramiento poblacional de caracteres cuantitativos mediante selección recurrente para generar genotipos superiores, obtener germoplasma élite androestéril para facilitar la fase de la recombinación genética y, por último, favorecer la cruza con germoplasma exótico de introducción para aprovechar en forma rápida y económica genes valiosos en los programas de mejoramiento.
A Software Defined Networking-based Routing Algorithm for Flying Ad Hoc Networks
Authors: Erdemkılıç Berat , Yazıcı Mehmet Akif
Published: August 2022

Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANET) are wireless mobile ad-hoc networks composed of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) as communicating nodes. As with any computer network, routing is an essential problem that has to be solved efficiently for high performance. FANETs present unique challenges with respect to routing, due to their structures. FANET systems have high dynamicity as the nodes move at very high speeds and UAVs can behave in accordance with various mobility models. The nodes usually have line of sight between them, but FANET systems frequently operate on large topologies with low node density. Hence, the structure of the topology changes rapidly, and the frequency of link disconnections between UAVs increases. Traditional topology-based and position-based routing algorithms do not work well in the face of this problem. In this study, we propose a novel SDN-based Routing Protocol which comprises both proactive and reactive components in order to improve the performance. Software Defined Networking technology is used as the network management architecture. To investigate the performance of the proposed protocol against legacy MANET routing protocols, a comparison study was conducted in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay, and control packet overhead. Simulation results show that the proposed SDN-based Routing Protocol performs better than the selected legacy protocols.

Published: August 2022

Breast cancer is one of the most important global health problems affecting both developed and developing countries. The identification of anticancer compounds, effective on breast cancer cells, is of key importance in chemoprevention investigations and drug development studies. In the literature, there are numerous compounds that have been analyzed for their cytotoxic effects on breast cancer cells, but there is no database where the researchers who want to design a new study on breast cancer can find these compounds all at once. This paper presents a relational database that stores the data of natural and synthetic compounds cytotoxically active on breast cancer cells. The database contains 381 cytotoxicity results and data of 159 compounds, compiled from selected 80 studies. When all this data in our database was queried, it was found out that quercetin, which is a dietary flavonoid, is the most analyzed compound, and MCF-7 cell line is the most used breast cancer cell line.

Published: August 2022

Background and aim

The COVID-19 is an important urgent public health problem in the last century. Youtube has become one of the information points for COVID-19. Many COVID-19 patients have talked about their experiences on Youtube. It has been aimed to evaluate the proficiency of videos about COVID-19 symptoms on Youtube.
Methods

The terms “COVID 19 symptoms”, “coronavirus 19 symptoms”, “symptoms of coronavirus” and “symptoms of COVID 19” have been searched on Youtube on 01 April 2020, the videos that were uploaded in 2020 and viewed more than 10,000 times until then were scanned and 719 videos were examined. Videos with an inappropriate language, videos with a duration of shorter than 1 minute, videos that have been deleted by the uploader and videos that contain information incompatible with the title excluded. The videos were examined by two physicians in terms of discussing the symptoms and wrong information and graded.
Results

Totally 202 videos were included in the study. Among the uploaders Healthcare Personnel (HP) (3.5%) and Institutions (9.4%) are the two lowest groups. No difference has been found between Institutions, HP, Individuals Other Than Healthcare Personnel (IOHP) and Unknown Uploaders. Among the uploader groups with 12 and higher points, IOHP stood out among other uploaders significantly with a ratio of 46.7%. Only 4.1% of the videos included wrong/imperfect information and a statistically significant relation between uploader groups was not determined (p>0.05).
Conclusions

It is important that COVID-19 symptoms are reflected correctly on Youtube, which is one of the most frequently used sites all over the world, in terms of people recognizing the disease in the time of pandemic and isolating themselves and making the decision to apply for a healthcare provider. Creation of more content by healthcare personnel, in a period with such heavy social media usage, will be useful in terms of informing the public.

Authors: Amr Ayed S. , Ahmad Mousa N. , Abdullah Mai A.
Published: August 2022

Tannins from the root bark of Quercus aegilops L. were extracted in two successive seasons and their astringency score and antioxidant potential were evaluated using bovine serum albumin (BSA) radial diffusion and 2,2- Diphenyl – 1-Picrylhydrazyl  (DPPH) assay methods respectively. The results revealed that the root bark of this oak species contained on average 11.39 %( w/w) tannins as gallic acid, of which about  79%  are hydrolyzable ( HT) and 21%  condensed (CT) tannins with the former composed mainly of ellagitannins and much fewer gallotannins and free gallic acid. The results also revealed that the crude root bark powder and its purified tannins have astringency scores of 15.8 and 138.98 mg BSA/g respectively. The antioxidant potential was evaluated by DPPH assay and expressed as inhibition capacity (IC50) was 149.7 ppm and 19.24 ppm for the crude bark powder and its purified tannins respectively indicating the superior antioxidant potential of these tannins to that of ascorbic acid. The highly-antioxidant functional tea prepared from these tannins was clear and acceptable to tasters.

Authors: Al-Badarein Bushra Omar , Ahmad Mousa Numan
Published: August 2022

Ketogenic (KD) and high-fat (HFD) diets and vitamin D (VD) produce variable effects on insulin secretion and body weight (BW), but mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated the effects of normal fat diets (NFD), KD, and HFD with and without VD on BW and serum glucose, insulin, VD, insulin resistance, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in rats. Three isocaloric NFD, KD, and HFD containing respectively protein-carbohydrate-fat (NFD: 14.8%-75.7%-9.5%; KD:20.2%-10.3%-69.5%; HFD:15.2%-42.7-42.0%) and three other similar diets but with (1000 IU/kg) VD were used. Forty-five adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were used, 5 rats were sacrificed at the start, remainders were randomly divided into NFD (n=15) and HFD (n=25), and fed for 8 weeks, then 5 rats from each were sacrificed. NFD remainders were divided into 2 subgroups (n=5) and fed NFD and NFD-VD, and HFD remainders were divided into 4 subgroups (n=5) and fed HFD, HFD-VD, KD, and KD-VD for further 8 weeks, then all rats were sacrificed. BW and food intake were measured, food conversion ratio (FCR) was calculated, and biological variables were determined following standard protocols. BW change and FCR (-15.6± -10.13g; 0.033±0.350 respectively) of rats fed KD-VD were the lowest (P<0.05) compared to those fed KD (144.8±1.47g; 0.189±0.050), HFD-VD (143.0±8.49g; 0.187±0.100), HFD (155.8±0.3g; 0.203±0.010), NFD-VD (142.8±6.34g; 0.183±0.009), and NFD (51.0±1.02g; 0.074±0.110) respectively. BW change correlated (P<0.01) with food intake (r=0.752), % carbohydrate (r=0.292), and % fat (r=0.341). None of the diets affected other biomarkers. Results clearly show BW-reducing effects for KD-VD that may be mediated by changes in food intake and dietary fat and carbohydrate proportion.
Impact of Blended Treated Wastewater and Irrigation Frequency on Corn Production and Soil Nutrients
Authors: Freihat Hala A. , Abu-Awwad Ahmad M. , Tabbaa Mohammad J.
Published: August 2022

This research investigates the impacts of blended treated wastewater (TWW) reuse with freshwater (FW) and irrigation frequency on corn (Zea Maize L.) crop yield and NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) soil content. The experiment comprised of three irrigation frequencies IF1: daily, IF2: every other day, and IF3: every 3 days; and five blended water treatments T100(100%TWW), T75(75%TWW and 25%FW), T50(50%TWW and 50%FW), T25(25%TWW and 75%FW), and T0(100%FW), in four replications. Results indicate that the significant effect of the irrigation frequency was mainly on corn cobs yield and consequently crop yield. Crop yield increases as the ratio of TWW increased in the blended irrigation water, with the highest significant yield (58,036 kg/ha) by using pure TWW(T100) and the lowest yield (37,695 kg/ha) was obtained by using FW (T0). Regardless of the irrigation frequency, the highest soil NPK content was obtained by using pure TWW (T100), while the lowest NPK soil content was obtained by using FW treatment (T0). Available soil N, P, and K contents in T100 treatment were significantly higher than that in T0 treatment by 50.4%, 62%, and 53%, respectively. Thus, the use of TWW in agricultural irrigation could provide a good balance of plant nutrients which can markedly increase crop yield and reduced the need for expensive commercial fertilizers.

Published: August 2022

The beneficial vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are found in the rhizosphere of many plants. These fungi are promising for sustainable agriculture especially in poor soils and under stress conditions. Many genera were naturally found in Jordan soils, especially Glomus, and were significantly effective in improving plant growth of several vegetable crops whether they were growing under mineral deficiency or drought conditions. Also, many soil-borne fungi as Fusarium, Verticillium, and Rhizoctonia as well as root-knot nematodes were successfully controlled under Jordan’s conditions. This type of biological control has a lower cost impact, safe and environment friendly.

Authors: Sardashti A.R. , Assadi-Khanoki A.
Published: August 2022

Aloysia. triphylla (L, H, er.) Britton (Family Verbenaceae) is studded for nutritional and pharmacological purposes. Soil factors and climatic tensions affect the growth of the herbs. A. triphylla plants were planted in the University greenhouse (Zahedan) in March. Humic substances solutions were sprinkled onto the soil surrounding the root of the plant. This way of planting simultaneously was repeated in the Zahedan outskirts and Zarand area. In late June, the leaves of planted samples were collected and prepared for senescing through the hydrodistillation method. After collecting leaves and be sprinkled with humic substances solution onto the soil surrounding root of the same plant, the leaves were picked up again in late September for oil extraction. Oil yields (w/w%) of the greenhouse's June samples were 0.45 and 0.48 for the blank and humic samples respectively. By analyzing oils, using GC & GC-MS techniques, 47 and 46 compounds were identified from the blank sample and humic sample oils, constituting 93.21% and 91.58% respectively. The higher percent of which: limonene, 1, 8-cineole, Z-citral, E-citral, bicylogermacrene, trans-caryophyllene, panthenol compounds. Oxygenated terpenoids percentage in the humic sample oils varies between 43.70 and 60.16 of which 43.70 belongs to the oil of Zarand September humic sample (Sapropel) and 60.16 to the oil of the greenhouse's June humic sample (Sapropel). Oxygenated terpenoid compounds in September samples were less than those of June samples. These changes result from humic substances and climatic tensions. As a result, the flowering period is shortened and the oil quality has been optimized.
Animal Models in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Research: Pros and Cons
Authors: Zakaria Zainab Zaki , Ahmad Mousa Numan , Qinna Nidal Adel
Published: August 2022

Worldwide, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continues to rise at an alarmingly high rate, constituting one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Research is central to the investigation, creation, and design of new therapeutic approaches for T2DM. For this purpose, and because not many tests can be conducted on humans; so, animal models are the only currently available alternative. This article discusses the pros and cons of different animal models used in T2DM research. PubMed, Medline, Science Direct, ADI, and WHO databases were searched through June 2021. Mice and rats are the most widely used models for diabetes studies. Many other animals are also used, such as pigs and non-human primates. Animal models develop diabetes either spontaneously or by using chemical toxins, such as streptozotocin and alloxan, or by surgical or genetic techniques and depict clinical features or related phenotypes of the disease. Although their importance is generally accepted, animal models are criticized for their poor accuracy in predicting human outcomes due to the low rate of translation between preclinical and clinical studies. However, this problem is partly explained by inadequate methodologies and designs in animal trials. It remains to emphasize that animal models add an indispensable value to the basic, clinical, and applied science of T2DM by opening new avenues of research and innovation.

Authors: Lafi Zainab , Aboalhaija Nour , Afifi Fatma
Published: August 2022

Traditional knowledge of medicinal plant use in Jordan is poorly described. During the last years, many phytochemists and botanists from Jordan have conducted qualitative and quantitative several studies, to gather information from the local people in the different rural regions where herbal medicine flourishes. To assess the effectiveness of the specific plants used in the treatment of certain diseases, several ethnopharmacological studies were carried out in different regions of Jordan. The reported use value (UV) and informant’s consensus factor (Fic) of these studies were analysed and summarised. Artemisia and Achillea species scored the highest UV (above 0.8). Ajloun area, rich in medicinal plants, showed the highest average UV, followed by the rural area of Badia. Among all reported illnesses dental pain has achieved the highest homogenity of the information (Fic 0.97). This ethnopharmacological review revealed that despite the availability of modern medicine in Jordan, traditional medicine is also widely practiced, especially in the rural areas of the country.

Background: Antibiotic resistance is expanding worldwide at alarming rates. Middle East countries including Jordan have high prevalence of antibiotic resistance.

Aims: The main aims of this review are to summarize the situation with Gram-positive bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance in Jordan, identify areas where further investigation is required, and suggest strategies to combat antibiotic resistance.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted by two independent researchers using general and specific combinations of MeSH search terms using Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases.

Results: Staphylococci and Streptococci were commonly isolated from environmental, animal, and human samples, while Staphylococci, Enterococci, and Listeria were commonly isolated from food. Staphylococci, Streptococci, and Enterococci human colonization were documented at variable but high rates. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistance coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MR-CoNS) infections were common with high rates of antibiotic resistance. S. pneumoniae showed increased resistance rates to most antimicrobials. Enterococci and C. difficile resistance rates were moderate, while group B Streptococci (GBS), viridans group streptococci (VGS), C. perfringens and L. monocytogenes antibiotic susceptibility patterns were not reported. All MRSA and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) isolates were mec-A positive, while resistance genes among CoNS, S. pneumoniae, S. pyogenes, S. agalactia, C. perfringens, and L. monocytogenes were not investigated.

Conclusions: Gram-positive bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance rates were high in Jordan. Molecular epidemiology studies, a nationwide surveillance program, and action plans are urgently required to combat antibiotic resistance.

Authors: Türkmen Dila , Acer Kalafat Merve
Published: August 2022

Accepted and published version of this work can be accessed by  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.2022.113752 .

  

This paper introduces a new method for improved  integrated angle sensing in the foldable robot joints (hinges), using low-cost inkjet printed sensors and a novel physical intelligence based compensation approach. Silver nanoparticle angle sensors are inkjet printed on a flexible PET substrate as a hinge material and implemented as pairs of compression and tension side folding individuals into a rigid experimental setup. Resulting combined signals improved the individual sensor responses due to their compensating physical characteristics, and gave the far best performances in the existing literature in terms of linearity, sensor life-time, static and cyclic drift, hysteresis and dynamic dependency. Proposed approach is promising for eliminating the major limitations on the printed sensor use in flexible hinges and paving the way to reliable, fully soft and easy-to-fabricate all-integrated foldable robots.

Computable Artificial General Intelligence
Authors: Bennett Michael Timothy
Published: August 2022

The general reinforcement learning agent AIXI may be the only mathematical formalism of artificial general intelligence (AGI) supported by proof that its performance, measured according to a description of intelligence, is optimal. Unfortunately AIXI is incomputable, and its performance is subjective. This paper proposes an alternative, also supported by proof, which overcomes both problems. Integrating research from cognitive science (enactivism), philosophy of language (intension and extension), machine learning and planning (satplan), the notion of an arbitrary task is given mathematical rigour. This serves as an enactive, unified model of learning and reasoning within which a description of intelligence is formalised, along with a computable universal prior we prove grants optimal performance according to that description. This mathematical proof is then further supported with experimental results.  

The foremost limitation is that intelligence is computationally complex, and must be coupled with domain specific inductive biases to make real-world tasks of practical significance tractable (such as the domain of all tasks an average human might expect to undertake). Finally, by unifying concepts from AI, cognitive science and philosophy in one formalism, we have defined shared language to enable collaborative bridges within and beyond these fields.
FSAaCIT: Finite State Automata based One-Key Cryptosystem and Chunk-based Indexing Technique for Secure Data De-duplication in Cloud Computing
Authors: Kodada Basappa
Published: August 2022

The popularity of cloud technology is expanding day-by-day not only to the enterprises but also to the smart phone users due to its various service models available at lower cost. The storage service is one of the widely used service to outsource massive amount of data. With the growth of internet facility and availability, the massive amount of data is being outsourced to cloud storage server with duplicate entries. The duplicate data at server may leads to the consumption of more computational resources.It is essential to prevent the redundant data at cloud storage server to improve efficiency of storage service. These outsourced data contains sensitive information like health related information and can be compromised by inner and outer adversaries. Therefore, safety and security of sensitive information is essential in the cloud computing, but conventional crytosystem and deduplication contradicts to each other due to private keys used for encoding and decoding process, and also current cryptosystems are suffers from content distribution attack, fake key and fake ownership claiming attacks during data deduplication process. Therefore, This paper presents Finite State Automata based one-key cryptosystem and Hash-based indexing technique to achieve secure data deduplication process. The statistical analysis is carried out on system and results shows the strength of the proposed algorithms. The paper also presents Proof of Ownership and Data Integrity Verification protocol to protect the data from unauthorized access and modification. The overall analysis and results shows the strength of proposed approach as compared to existing system in reducing the utilization of

computational resources.

Skin cancers are a real scourge and a public health problem in our country. This facial localization in its advanced form is a source of aesthetic, functional, and life-threatening after-effects, which defines their seriousness and the difficulties of management both for carcinological excision and reconstruction. From a retrospective study spread over a period of 16 months, collected in the department of reconstructive and plastic surgery of the CHU Tanger Tetouan Al Hoceima, we analyzed the clinical and histological epidemiological characteristics, the time of diagnosis, the type of therapy, and the fate of 25 patients. The age of our patients ranged from 9 to 83 years with an average age of 53 years and a male predominance (sex ratio = 1.5). Rural origin represented 72% and the majority of the professions were exposed to the sun. All regions of the face were involved with a concentration of lesions in the midface (60%). Xeroderma pigmentosum was the most common precancerous condition (16%). Basal cell carcinoma was the most frequent histological type (60%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (36%) and melanoma (4%). The macroscopic appearance of the tumors was ulcerative in the majority of cases (52%). Tumors were classified as T4 in 48%. Tumor removal was the rule in all our patients, with a safety margin adapted to the histological type and tumor size. A lymph node curage was performed in 6 patients. An exenteration was performed on 6 patients. A parotidectomy was performed on 1 patient. The repair was adapted to the location and extent of the defect. Reconstruction was deferred in 64% of cases and involved direct sutures in 3 cases, skin grafts in 7 cases, and essentially loco-regional flaps in 15 cases. The carcinological evolution was marked by recurrences in 2 patients with 3 cases of pulmonary and bone metastases. Finally, the therapeutic strategy can only be established and thought out on a case-by-case basis, using all the means at our disposal: .......

Background: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide accounting for 7.6 million deaths (around 13% of all deaths) in 2008 and about 70% of all cancer deaths occurred in low and middle-income countries. Deaths from cancer worldwide are projected to continue to rise to over 11 million by 2030. A substantial proportion of cancer patients suffer from psychological distress. Recently the prevalence of common mental disorders among people with cancer varies widely. Objective: To describe the prevalence and risk factors of depression and anxiety among cancer patients of combined military hospital Dhaka. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 150 samples were selected by convenient sampling technique. The patients were studied after histopathological confirmation of diagnosis of cancer. Sociodemographic and other data were collected by face-to-face interview using semi structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0 and results were presented with appropriate graphs and texts. Results: The mean age was 46.5±9.5 years. 65.3% were male and 34.7% respondents were female. Male: female ratio 1.9:1. 40.7% patients had moderate depression symptom followed by 30.0% had mild depression symptom, 17.3% patients had severe depression symptom and 12.0% patients had minimum depression symptom that can be considered as no depression. The overall mean score of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) was 22.1±8.4 with range 5 to 45. Regarding anxiety of cancer patients, 45.3% patients had moderate to severe anxiety symptom followed by 29.3% patients had mild to moderate anxiety symptom, 25.3% patients had minimum anxiety symptom that can be considered as no anxiety symptom. The overall mean score of Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) was 21.6±6.7 with range 7 to 30. In present study showed cancer stage 2 in 33.3% cases, 28.0% patients’ stage 3, 21.3% patients had stage 4 and stage 1 in 17.3% cases. ...........
Heavy Metal Contamination of Pleurotus Tuberregium Sclerotia (Osu) Consumed in Enugu, South East Nigeria
Authors: Ogbonna Ogbuabor Alphonsus , Chibunna Igwe Mathew
Published: August 2022

Heavy metal contamination of food is a global public health problem especially in developing countries. The WHO 2015 report on global burden of food contamination stated that an estimated 600 million people are affected resulting in 420,000 deaths annually with children under 5 years of age constituting 40% of burden and 125,000 deaths annually. The present study was aimed at determining the concentrations of Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb) and Chromium (Cr) in some samples of wild type pleurotus tuberregium sclerotia consumed in Enugu, Southeast Nigeria. Heavy metal concentrations were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS 240FS) Varian, Varian Inc, Japan. The range for concentration of Nickel was (3.29+0.63-3.67+0.00), Cd (0.002+0.01-0.005+0.0), Pb(0.04+0.03)-0.07+0.02) and Cr(0.46+0.26-1.0+0.62),ppm respectively. These are within the WHO tolerable concentrations of Ni, Cd, Pb and Cr in food. These findings shows that pleurotus tuberregium sclerotia consumed in Enugu has lower concentrations of heavy metals compared to the WHO recommended values.

Introduction: Since December 2019, several cases of unknown-origin pneumonia started to be diagnosed in Wuhan, China. One month later, The World Health Organization (WHO) recognized the responsible pathogen as the 2019 novel coronavirus and the global catastrophe has since been a major mortality cause up until today. We report the first surgical series of five patients with COVID-19 who had empyema thoracic after bilateral interstitial COVID-19 pneumonia, presenting a complex medical challenge in Malaysia. Method: Single centre, retrospective study and collection of data done via EHIS system on 5 patients in cardiothoracic surgery department in 2021. Conclusion: This report highlights the importance of rare complications such as empyema after COVID-19 pneumonia and the need for continued monitoring for this complication in patients who fail to improve during their hospital stay clinically. COVID-19 pneumonia appeared as typical viral pneumonia on thin-section CT. Accurate identification of CT imaging manifestations may help in the precise staging of the disease for clinical diagnosis and treatment. The outcome of these effusions is related to the interval between the onset of clinical symptoms and presentation to the physician, comorbidities, and time management. The primary treatment of pleural empyema is a course of a single or a combination of antibiotics. However, an early antibiotic treatment alone is usually not enough if it progresses to a complicated PPE and empyema. The majority of cases require surgical treatment with drainage of the pleural cavity.
