Amerta Masa Farmer Group is a farmer group in Asah Duren Village that focuses on cultivating cloves. The problem faced by the Amerta Masa Farmer Group is the lack of knowledge about the control techniques of Clove Plant Disturbing Organisms. Control using root infusion techniques is very effective, efficient and more selective, but this method requires expertise or trained personnel so that in its implementation there is no difficulty in obtaining roots suitable for this application. Therefore, the service team provides assistance and direct practice in overcoming the problem of controlling organisms that disturb clove plants. After the implementation of the activity, it was obtained that, partners have been able to practice controlling organisms disturbing clove plants so as to increase production by 10-20%. Mitra hopes to get continuous assistance in cultivating cloves so that they can remind the production of clove plants.

Mind the Gap: Understanding Coverage Breaks of Newly Launched Engineering and Computer Science Journals in Core Databases
Authors: Zhang Yuening , Yu Dylan
Published: October 2023

Journal coverage is an important factor to consider when evaluating a database. In this study, we counted the number of articles (including early access articles) in newly-launched journals (2018-2022) from two major association publishers in engineering and computer science: the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). We then compared these numbers with the number of articles from these journals in Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection, Scopus, and Google Scholar (GS). Results indicated that GS had higher percentages for coverage for all the journals that were assessed and outperformed WOS and Scopus in terms of how fast newly-launched journals were indexed. Findings from this study will help librarians evaluate each database in reference, instruction, and collection development.

Published: October 2023

Scholarly web-based application programming interfaces (APIs) allow users to interact with information and data programmatically. Interacting with information programmatically allows users to create advanced information query workflows and quickly access machine-readable data for downstream computations. With the growing availability of scholarly APIs from open and commercial library databases, supporting access to information via an API has become a key support area for research data services in libraries. This article describes our efforts with supporting API access through the development of an online Scholarly API Cookbook. The Cookbook contains code recipes (i.e., tutorials) for getting started with 10 different scholarly APIs, including for example, Scopus, World Bank, and PubMed. API tutorials are available in Python, Bash, Matlab, and Mathematica. A tutorial for interacting with library catalog data programmatically via Z39.50 is also included, as traditional library catalog metadata is rarely available via an API. In addition to describing the Scholarly API Cookbook content, we discuss our experiences building a student research data services programming team, challenges we encountered, and ideas to improve the Cookbook. The University of Alabama Libraries Scholarly API Cookbook is freely available and hosted on GitHub. All code within the API Cookbook is licensed with the permissive MIT license, and as a result, users are free to reuse and adapt the code in their teaching and research.

Line x Tester Analysis of Combining Ability and Its Interac- tion with Environment in American Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
Authors:   Cotton Botanist Agricultural Research Station , Sriganganagar 335 001 Rajastan, D.R BHANDARI
Published: October 2023

The present studies reveal that general combining ability was more important as compared to spacific combining ability in American cotton although latter was also operative. It would thus, be more appropriate first to concentrate additive genetic variance in the parents by selection procedures. This may be followed by a recurrent selection programme to utilize both additive and non-additive genetic variances in the segregating population. The g.c.a. component of variance was quite stable while s.c.a. was inconsistent from location to location except for halo length and ginning percentage for which both types of variances were stable. RS 455, H 297, RS 277 and PS 10 were overall the best parents for yield characters. TH 46. PS 10, CP 1998F, and Nectoriless were the best combining parents for ginning percentage, while RS 9, CPI 998F, RS 76, and SH 369 were superior parents for halo length. All crosses exhibiting the highest speci- fic combining ability and mean, possess at least one parent which is a good or average combiner. Except for instance, in no case a low x low combiner exhibited high specific effects. General combining ability is thus, a good guide for initial selection of parents for improvement of various traits in cotton.

The current methods of predicting P availability in rice soils need reconsideration. Anaerobic conditions due to submergence of the soil creates problems of assessment of this nutrient element. A pot experiment using three soils of Tamil Nadu and IR 22 rice as the test crop was conducted. Soils equilibrated with diammonium phosphate at the rate of 100 kg/ha were transplanted with rice. The moisture levels, viz., submer- gence, field capacity and wetting and drying were maintained. Soil samples were drawn at stages and analysed for available phosphorus by Olsen's. Bray's No. 1, 0.01M CaCl and water extraction methods. Phosphate potential (1/2 pCa + pH.PO,) was calcula- ted for these soil samples and all these values were correlated with phosphorus uptake and yield at the crop. In assessing the phosphorus availability under different moisture regimes. the suitability of buffer curves was indicated and discussed.

O acúmulo de borracha em pavimentos aeroportuários é um dos fatores responsáveis pela redução do coeficiente de atrito. Esse acúmulo tende a ser mais intenso nas zonas de toque das pistas de pouso e decolagem durante as operações das aeronaves. Dessa forma, essas zonas podem estar em condições mais críticas de deterioração que outras, que são levadas em consideração nas medições de atrito. Essas regiões podem ser identificadas e o emborrachamento mensurado por imagens, de satélite ou capturadas por veículos aéreos, devido ao aspecto visual caracterizado por uma mancha mais escura que o revestimento. Tendo isso em vista, o presente artigo tem por objetivo avaliar a zona de emborrachamento por meio de imagens de uma pista de pouso e decolagem determinando a área de acúmulo de borracha em relação aos valores de coeficiente de atrito in loco. Utilizam-se o algoritmo de agrupamento K-médias em imagens coloridas para realizar a segmentação dessas regiões pela tonalidade. Dessa forma, o presente artigo desenvolve uma ferramenta capaz de, baseada nas tonalidades da zona emborrachada na imagem do pavimento, identificar regiões de acúmulo mais crítico que outras. Isso deu-se pela análise do comportamento da tendência de crescimento entre os dados obtidos pelo algoritmo que retorna os dados de emborrachamento e pelos dados de medição de coeficiente atrito no pavimento nas respectivas sub-regiões.

Published: October 2023

O Estado de Goiás, localizado na região central do país e possuidor de grande extensão territorial, tem em sua malha viária a principal alavanca para seu desenvolvimento. Para conseguir se movimentar entre os fragmentos florestais os animais precisam atravessar as rodovias gerando atropelamentos e acidentes, causando mortes e prejuízos econômicos. Entre as rodovias que afetam a fauna local, destaca-se a GO-341, no município de Mineiros, que circunda o Parque Nacional das Emas (PNE). O trecho possui 114 quilômetros de extensão e abrange a divisa do estado de Goiás com Mato Grosso do Sul. O presente estudo teve como principal objetivo o levantamento de dados a respeito de atropelamento de fauna na GO-341 e posterior indicação de melhores locais para implantação de passagens de fauna na rodovia. Os pontos foram indicados levando em consideração a distribuição espacial dos pontos e a presença de corredores com vegetação florestal em pelo menos um lado da rodovia. Portanto, com o devido planejamento prévio, a instalação de passagens de fauna na GO-341 é uma alternativa adequada para garantir um meio de conexão segura entre os ambientes naturais das áreas adjacentes. Outra alternativa seria a instalação de redutores de velocidade na rodovia, físicos ou eletrônicos, proporcionando segurança na rodovia aos usuários e a diminuição de atropelamento da fauna silvestre. Pode-se concluir que as passagens de fauna, se implantadas corretamente junto a outras obras ou adaptações, são medidas indispensáveis para manter a conectividade dos habitats das espécies, conservação da biodiversidade, além de garantir a segurança dos usuários das rodovias.

Objectives: The study’s goals are to evaluate the management of Stroke Mimics (SMs), conditions with stroke-like symptoms but non-vascular origins. It seeks to assess the effect of unnecessary intravenous thrombolysis on therapy delays and determine the best SMs diagnosis approach. Materials and methods: A review was conducted of all patients admitted to the Emergency Department under a “stroke code” from January 1, 2018, to January 31, 2019. Anamnestic and clinical data, along with information on neuroimaging protocols and findings, were collected. Advanced MRI sequences, such as Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) MR perfusion and MR spectroscopy, were revised to confirm the diagnoses. Results: 513 stroke codes were found; a neurovascular disease was diagnosed in 414 cases: 282 ischemic strokes and 73 intracranial hemorrages and 59 TIAs. The 99 SMs included, 13 infections, 12 syncopes, 11 epileptic seizures, 11 hemodinamic conditions, 10 tumors, 9 metabolic disorders, 9 diziness, 7 migraines, 4 drug/alcohol intoxication, 3 functional disorders, 3 acute hydrocefalus, 2 multiple sclerosis, 2 arteriovenous malformations, 1 spinal cord compression and 2 unexplained conditions. Specific neuroimaging findings were evaluated for all cases. Positive and negative predictive values of clinical diagnosis of SM were respectively 0.23 and 0.35. 125 SM patients underwent MRI examination, 40 of which within 3 hours from the activation of stroke code. Advanced MRI sequences as ASL, MR perfusion, MR spectroscopy were used to reach the correct diagnosis. Conclusions: Advanced multimodal MRI can be a valuable tool in the assessment of, particularly in cases where conventional imaging techniques such as DWI-FLAIR mismatch are inconclusive. The novelty of this retrospective study is to demonstrate that the consistent use of arterial spin labeling perfusion in cases with stroke code leads to a rapid and accurate diagnosis of SMs. The implementation of an MRI-based pathway can expedite the diagnosis and treatment of underlying non-vascular causes such as SMs.

We present a case of type-1 diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) in a patient with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) treated with pembrolizumab. Following ten cycles of treatment, our patient was diagnosed with T1DM after being admitted for diabetic ketoacidosis and stayed hospitalized in the ICU. Later, they continued treatment with insulin, having shown disease response to pembrolizumab, and resumed immunotherapy while on insulin. Immunotherapy-induced T1DM can sometimes occur with PD1/PD-L1 blockage therapies. It has a rapid onset, is characterized by insulin deficiency due to the autoimmune destruction of beta-cells, and usually presents itself with diabetic ketoacidosis. Unlike most of the other adverse effects of immunotherapy, glucocorticoids don’t seem to be of therapeutic value, and insulin substitution is required. Regular glucose monitoring can be key to early diagnosis and prevention of hospitalization.
A New Edition of the List of Panathenaic Victors IG II2 2313
Authors: Tracy Stephen V.
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: This article provides a new edition of the Panathenaic victor list IG II2 2313, the first to be made based on autopsy of the stone as well as photographs and squeezes of it, and suggests a date for it in the years just prior to the Second Macedonian War. Such examination places this important text in the context of the games and demonstrates that it forms part of a connected series of Panathenaic victor lists of the late 3rd and first half of the 2nd centuries b.c. This stone preserves portions of three lists, which have fewer events and a markedly different organization from later lists. These early lists thus reflect a period of transition in the reestablishment of the games after the recovery of independence in 229 b.c.
Therapeutic Trial of Modified Levofloxacin (MOLVX) Against Induced Colorectal Aberrant Crypt Foci (Precancerous Tissue) in Mice
Authors: K Tarab Mohammed , M AL-Rekabi Falah

Colorectal cancer ranks as the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. ‎Fluoroquinolones, particularly Levofloxacin, have garnered interest for their potential anti-cancer effects, primarily due to their high affinity ‎for metallic ions like copper. This affinity enhances their spectrum of activity and enables greater interaction with DNA in cancer cells, ‎thereby inhibiting proliferation. Building on our prior work, where we synthesized copper-modified Levofloxacin (MOLVX), this study ‎explores its therapeutic potential in treating precancerous colorectal lesions, known as Aberrant Crypt Foci (ACF), in a murine model. Sixty ‎female Balb-C mice were randomized into six groups (n=10 per group). The first group served as a negative control and received no treatment. ‎The remaining groups were administered azoxymethane (AOM) at 10 mg/kg body weight (BW) twice weekly to induce ACF. Among these, the ‎second group acted as a positive control and received no further treatment. The third group was intraperitoneally administered doxorubicin at ‎‎16.2 mg/kg BW once a week for four weeks. The fourth group was treated with Levofloxacin at 25 mg/kg BW via oral lavage daily for four ‎weeks. The final two groups received daily oral lavage treatments of MOLVX at doses of 5 mg/kg and 2.5 mg/kg BW for four weeks, ‎respectively. Histopathological analysis of ACF tissues, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, revealed a statistically significant reduction ‎‎(P<0.05) in ACF count among groups treated with MOLVX, doxorubicin, and Levofloxacin, compared to the positive control. Additionally, both ‎MOLVX-treated groups showed a significant decrease (P<0.05) in proliferating cellular antigen (PCNA) levels. In conclusion, both MOLVX ‎dosages (2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg BW) demonstrated promising therapeutic efficacy against precancerous colorectal lesions in mice. However, ‎the 5 mg/kg BW dose appeared to be more potent.

Water stress prevents all cropping systems from reaching their production potential. This stress is likely to be amplified by increased climate variability. Cereals, food crops and staple foods for most of the world's population are significantly affected by drought. By 2050, grain production must increase by about 70% to meet global food needs. However, current studies of adaptive strategies to mitigate the effects of water stress remain limited. Varietal adaptation and the development of new ones, as well as the adoption of appropriate cropping practices, are among the solutions being considered. To reinforce and support these approaches, new ecological and natural methods, including the use of biostimulants, could be adopted for efficient management of production systems and to limit yield losses under stress conditions. In this context, this review focuses on the main cereal adaptation strategies to drought.

The aim of the work was to conduct a systematic statistical analysis of the spatial and temporal variability of sea surface temperature (SST) in the waters of the Tatar Strait based on satellite data accumulated in the Sakhalin branch of VNIRO using the TeraScan receiving station for 1998‒2021. It was revealed that in different seasons of the year the SST structure is similar and characterized by the highest values in the southeast and the lowest in the northwest of the strait. An important new result was obtained by expanding of the SST field in terms of the EOF, which is associated with a sharp change in the nature of the time function of the third mode, which occurred in 2013–2014. Such changes can be considered as a climatic shift in the studied area most pronounced in the northwestern part of the strait and near the southwestern coast of Sakhalin Island, where the change was about 1 °C. This circumstance can have a noticeable effect on the state of populations of several species of shrimp and commercial fish.

The design of multi-storey buildings is a natural trend in the development of a modern metropolis. Obtaining exact solutions when studying their own and forced oscillations within the framework of a continuous homogeneous medium model (continuum mechanics) with an infinite number of degrees of freedom is often difficult to implement. Therefore, in the article (as part of the modernization of the finite element method), the model of a multi-storey building is discretized and endowed with a finite number of degrees of freedom placed in the middle of the finite elements at the nodes (the mass of finite elements is also placed there), which elastically interact with the finite elements of the model that do not have mass. It is believed that the elements of a multi-storey building work only for bending, which is fully justified by comparing the frequencies of its bending and longitudinal oscillations. The resolving system of differential equations of oscillations of a multi-storey building, in which expressions for energies (potential, kinetic and Rayleigh) are written in quadratures, is obtained using Lagrange equations of the second kind. In the article, the problems of free oscillations of 3- and 100-storey buildings are solved using Green’s functions, stiffness, mass, compliance matrices, etc. The approximate results obtained in the article, when compared with the little-known approximate results obtained by other methods, as well as exact results (direct and indirect methods of boundary elements), showed a good correspondence.
