Authors: Chandra Ravish , Chandan Vipin , Kumar Manish
Published: September 2023

Irrigation has a major role to play in the productivity of winter maize. Precise information about the quantity and quality of irrigation water is the key for higher productivity of winter maize. In the present study attempt has been made to asses the impact of different depth of irrigation water on crop yield and biomass of winter maize using FAO-Aquacrop Model. In the first case crop yield and biomass was simulated for irrigation water depth varied from 20 mm to 80 mm, keeping the irrigation water quality constant. Similarly, in another case the optimum irrigation depth was kept constant and irrigation water quality varied from 1 to 10 ds/m. The simulated crop yield and biomass increases up to 40 cm depth of irrigation water application for all three seasons. When a similar comparison was made for 30 cm depth of irrigation water application the simulated yield reduction was only 0.79%, 2.2% and 2.4 % for the year 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively. The analysis suggested that this yield reduction can easily be compromised for saving 10 cm of irrigation water.  This study indicated that 30 cm depth of irrigation water is optimum for Winter maize in BurhiGandak river basin of  North Bihar In case of deficit irrigation of 20 cm depth of irrigation water application the simulated yield reduced by 14.4 %, 25.4 % and 11.4 % for the year 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively. Assessment of response of different quality irrigation water on simulated crop yield and biomass of winter maize using FAO-Aquacrop model suggests that simulated yield was found maximum with 1 ds/m. The reduction in simulated yield with 10 ds/m water quality was observed maximum with a value of 41.3 %, 44.4 % and 38.4 % respectively for the year 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19. FAO-Aquacrop model can be used as an important tool for efficient planning of irrigation water under diminishing water supply and deteriorating water quality.

Published: September 2023

Rice seedlings and weeds emerge concurrently in direct-seeded rice (DSR) production systems, while there is no flooding water to inhibit weed germination, emergence and development at crop emergence. Because of this, weeds are considered the biggest living barrier in DSR and significantly reduce yield. The purpose of the research was to devise an approach for management of weeds in the direct-seeded rice crop cultivated under various agroecosystems, while optimizing growth and production utilizing herbicides or herbicidal combinations. The impacts of several weed management techniques were assessed to determine the most efficient and cost-effective approach of managing weeds in DSR at the CoA, JNKVV, Jabalpur (MP) during 2019 rainy season under spilt plot design with 2 main plot treatments viz., rainfed agroecosystem, irrigated agroecosystem and 8 sub-plot treatments, i.e. different herbicide treatments with hand weeding and weedy check. Further growth parameters as well as yield attributes were documented. Conventional statistical techniques were used to evaluate the data. Bispyribac sodium at the dose of 25 g/ha efficiently controlled both narrow and broad leaved weeds under agroecosystems. Highest growth as well as yield parameters were recorded for irrigated agroecosystems compared to rainfed agroecosystems. The treatment with bispyribac sodium at the dose of 25 g/ha produced the greatest values for growth and yield indices as well as the maximum yield (3.68 t/ha), with the exception of manual weeding.

The F2 populations of the crossings CO 14 × NDLH 1938 and CO17 × NDLH 1755 were used to investigate variability and heritability studies in order to better understand the gene action involved in each characteristic studied. Morphological data viz., days to first flowering, plant height (cm), number of sympodials, number of bolls per plant, boll weight (g), ginning outturn (%), upper half mean length (mm), elongation percentage (%) and micronaire value (µg/inch) were all recorded in each plant of both the populations. Studies of heritability and genetic advance as a percent of mean help us determine if a gene is additive or epistatic in nature, and so undergo appropriate breeding programmes for population enhancement. The value of PCV (Phenotypic Coefficient of variation) was always greater than GCV (Genotypic coefficient of variation) indicating the environment also plays a major role in contributing to the variations. The seed cotton yield per plant alone was shown to exhibit additive gene action with high heritability and strong genetic advance as percent of mean, suggesting that it might be used in direct selection since it is the most important attribute for population development.

Objectives. To analyze the modifications of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and their economic impact on daily clinical practice. Material and methods. Observational, retrospective study of patients who started ART between 01/2017-12/2021 (follow-up until 12/2022). Variables collected: prescribed ART, duration, the reason for the change, and treatment costs. Results. A total of 280 patients initiated ART therapy. The median durability of 1st line was: 19.9 months in 2017 (95%CI 13.9-25.9), 12.2 months in 2018 (95%CI 4.7-19.7), 27.4 months in 2019 (95%CI 6.8-48.1) and the median was not reached for the years 2020 and 2021 (p<0.001). Triple therapy with protease inhibitors was changed in 63.8% (81/127) of cases, followed by integrase inhibitors 52.1% (159/305), while dual therapy (DTG/3TC) only in 8.3% (7/84). The main cause of discontinuation was simplification/optimization 47.5% (124/261), followed by adverse effects 21.8% (57/261), with 2017 being the only year where simplification/optimization was at the same level as adverse effects. The economic impact of ART changes resulted in an average cost reduction of 34.0€ [-391.4 to +431.4] per month per patient. The year 2019 stands out as the only year where these changes were associated with an increase in mean additional cost (23.4€ [-358.3 to +431.4]). Conclusions. Optimization/simplification accounts for almost half of the reasons for TAR change, with an economic impact that, despite the inflection point of 2019, each year manages to exceed the previous one, achieving a progressive cost reduction maintained over time.

Published: September 2023

An oriented graph is a digraph that does not contain a directed cycle of length two. An (oriented) graph $D$ is $H$-free if $D$ does not contain $H$ as an induced sub(di)graph. The Gyárfás-Sumner conjecture is a widely-open conjecture on simple graphs, which states that for any forest $F$, there is some function $f$ such that every $F$-free graph $G$ with clique number $\omega(D)$ has chromatic number at most $f(\omega(D))$. Aboulker, Charbit, and Naserasr [Extension of Gyárfás-Sumner Conjecture to Digraphs, Electron. J. Comb., 2021] proposed an analogue of this conjecture to the dichromatic number of oriented graphs. The dichromatic number of a digraph $D$ is the minimum number of colors required to color the vertex set of $D$ so that no directed cycle in $D$ is monochromatic.

Aboulker, Charbit, and Naserasr’s $\overrightarrow{\chi}$ -boundedness conjecture states that for every oriented forest $F$, there is some function f such that every $F$-free oriented graph $D$ has dichromatic number at most $f(\omega(D))$, where $\omega(D)$ is the size of a maximum clique in the graph underlying $D$. In this paper, we perform the first step towards proving Aboulker, Charbit, and Naserasr’s $\overrightarrow{\chi}$-boundedness conjecture by showing that it holds when $F$ is any orientation of a path on four vertices.
An Aα-Spectral Erdős-Sós Theorem
Authors: Chen Ming-Zhu , Li Shuchao , Li Zhao-Ming , Yu Yuantian , Zhang Xiao-Dong
Published: September 2023

Let $G$ be a graph and let $\alpha$ be a real number in $[0,1].$ In 2017, Nikiforov proposed the $A_\alpha$-matrix for $G$ as $A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G)$, where $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ are the adjacency matrix and the degree diagonal matrix of $G$, respectively. The largest eigenvalue of $A_{\alpha}(G)$ is called the $A_\alpha$-index of $G.$ The famous Erdős-Sós conjecture states that every $n$-vertex graph with more than $\frac{1}{2}(k-1)n$ edges must contain every tree on $k+1$ vertices. In this paper, we consider an $A_\alpha$-spectral version of this conjecture. For $n>k,$ let $S_{n,k}$ be the join of a clique on $k$ vertices with an independent set of $n-k$ vertices and denote by $S^+_{n,k}$ the graph obtained from $S_{n,k}$ by adding one edge. We show that for fixed $k\geq2,\,0<\alpha<1$ and $n\geq\frac{88k^2(k+1)^2}{\alpha^4(1-\alpha)}$, if a graph on $n$ vertices has $A_\alpha$-index at least as large as $S_{n,k}$ (resp. $S^+_{n,k}$), then it contains all trees on $2k+2$ (resp. $2k+3$) vertices, or it is isomorphic to $S_{n,k}$ (resp. $S^+_{n,k}$). These extend the results of Cioabă, Desai and Tait (2022), in which they confirmed the adjacency spectral version of the Erdős-Sós conjecture.

Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Testing for Monitoring the Degradation of Infill Masonry Walls and Access Their Impact on the Durability of the Envelope of Buildings with Reinforced Concrete Structure
Authors: Dias José Miranda
Published: September 2023

Buildings with reinforced concrete structure (RCS buildings), including unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls, can be negatively affected by anomalies in their envelope, such as cracking and water penetration, which worsen the aesthetic aspect and reduce the safety and level of comfort of those buildings. To access the relevance of these anomalies and their evolution along service life, a corresponding survey and monitoring during service life are essential. Non-destructive test methods (NDT), in particular ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) testing, are currently used in that survey and monitoring. In the context of monitoring the degradation of the URM infill walls and access their impact on the durability of the RCS building envelope, UPV testing can be a type of NDT method to be used, considering that it can contribute to the evaluation of the state of conservation of the construction elements, such as masonry and concrete. It is intended here to access the potential use of UPV testing in the monitoring of anomalies related to the degradation of building facades due, particularly, to cracking and to water penetration associated with WDR (wind driven-rain). The preliminary assessment of the use of UPV testing is made through the previous analysis of the results of the application of UPV testing for the detection of sub-surface and surface cracking in compression tests of masonry specimens. Following that analysis, an evaluation is made of the conditioning aspects of the use of UPV testing to access durability problems of the building envelope. Particularly, the main characteristics of cracking with interest for the assessment of the potential use of UPV testing are generally discussed. And, finally, an evaluation is made of the risk of water penetration through the cracks, for potential use of UPV testing in monitoring the presence of humidity in the cracks.

SMEs in developing countries often face the problem of the policy determining the competitive strategy quality system to develop business performance. Analyzing how to improve the performance of handicraft SMEs within the context of the effect of the competitive strategy and quality system of SMEs is required to address the issues raised above. Thus, a research model was developed using four research variables: strategic asset quality, adaptability, the entrepreneurial orientation of SME owners, and competitive strategy quality. Data regarding the variables studied used a structured questionnaire so that the structured statements in the questionnaire were able to answer the research variables, which 110 handicraft owners then answered in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Following the collection of the data, the structural equation modeling (SEM) method was used to analyze it. The model created for this study is a fit, according to the findings of the model testing. The competitive strategy quality system is positively and significantly impacted by the analytical findings about the role of strategic asset quality, environmental adaptability, and entrepreneurial orientation. According to the results of the hypothesis, enhancing the capability of asset quality indicators and the company's environmental adaptability may be used to improve the competitive strategy quality system of the Handicraft Product Small Business Group in Central Java Province, Indonesia.
Visualización de los objetos cuánticos en la interpretación de Copenhague

Published: September 2023

Este artículo trata de la importancia concedida a las imágenes verbales en el discurso descriptivo utilizado en la física cuántica y, más concretamente, en la concepción de lenguaje científico defendida por los partidarios de la interpretación de Copenhague de la mecánica cuántica a principios del siglo XX. La interpretación de Copenhague, cuyas raíces se remontan al principio filosófico de complementariedad de Niels Bohr, considera que los fenómenos subatómicos no pueden ser evocados directamente, sin hacer referencia al contexto observacional y experimental.

Tyrimo tikslas. Išanalizuoti mokslinėje literatūroje aprašomą nėštumo nutraukimo vaistais pirmuoju nėštumo trečdaliu veiksmingumą, privalumus ir trūkumus, lyginant su chirurginiu nėštumo nutraukimu. Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. Straipsnių paieška vykdyta „PubMed“ duomenų bazėje, vartojant šiuos reikšminius žodžius: „Abortion, Induced“ [Mesh], AND „Pregnancy Trimester, First“ [Mesh] AND „Abortifacient Agents [Mesh]“, OR „Misoprostol“ [Mesh], AND „Mifepristone“ [Mesh]. Apžvelgta 11, ne senesnių kaip 10 metų, šaltinių anglų kalba. Rezultatai ir išvados. Nėštumo nutraukimo vaistais veiksmingumas patvirtintas, palyginus su chirurginiu, jis veiksmingas pirmojo nėštumo trečdalio pabaigoje. Nėštumo nutraukimui vaistais skirtų veikliųjų medžiagų (mifepristono su misoprostoliu) derinio skyrimas veiksmingesnis nei skiriant tik misoprostolį. Veiksmingumas didesnis, jei tarp mifepristono ir misoprostolio vartojimo išlaikomas 24–48 val. intervalas. Mažesnės mifepristono dozės lemia trumpesnį kraujavimo iš makšties laiką, sukelia mažiau šalutinių poveikių ir yra tokios pat veiksmingos kaip ir didesnės šio vaisto dozės, o misoprostolis lemia didesnius nėštumo nutraukimo sėkmės rodiklius, kai yra vartojamas pakartotinai. Nėštumo nutraukimas vaistais, lyginant su chirurginiu, turi daug privalumų: kelia mažesnę dubens organų infekcijos riziką, nereikalauja anestezijos, išvengiama invazinių procedūrų, procedūrą galima saugiai, savarankiškai atlikti namuose. Kita vertus, nėštumo nutraukimas vaistais gali sukelti stiprius šalutinius poveikius, tokius kaip pykinimas, vėmimas, viduriavimas, gausus kraujavimas, karščiavimas, bei reikalauja ilgesnės pacientės stebėsenos po įvykusio aborto. Dėl geros kainos ir kokybės santykio bei didelio procedūros prieinamumo, nėštumo nutraukimas vaistais yra konkurencingas chirurginei nėštumo nutraukimo procedūrai.

α-(Aminomethyl)acrylates as acceptors in radical–polar crossover 1,4-additions of dialkylzincs: insights into enolate formation and trapping
Authors: Palillero-Cisneros Angel , Gordillo-Guerra Paola G , García-Alvarez Fernando , Jackowski Olivier , Ferreira Franck , Chemla Fabrice , Terán Joel L , Perez-Luna Alejandro
Published: September 2023

We demonstrate that α-(aminomethyl)acrylates are suitable acceptors for 1,4-additions of dialkylzincs in aerobic conditions. The air-promoted radical–polar crossover process involves the 1,4-addition of an alkyl radical followed by homolytic substitution at the zinc atom of dialkylzinc. Coordination of the nitrogen atom to zinc enables this SH2 process which represents a rare example of alkylzinc-group transfer to a tertiary α-carbonyl radical. The zinc enolate thus formed readily undergoes β-fragmentation unless it is trapped by electrophiles in situ. Enolates of substrates having free N–H bonds undergo protodemetalation to provide ultimately the 1,4-addition adduct. In the presence of carbonyl acceptors, aldol condensation occurs providing overall a tandem 1,4-addition–aldol process. When a tert-butanesulfinyl moiety is present on the nitrogen atom, these electrophilic substitution reactions occur with good levels of chiral induction, paving the way to enantioenriched β2-amino acids and β2,2-amino acids.
Deepening Self-Efficacy and Emotional Expectation in Learning through Interpersonal Interaction: An IEEP Perspective
Authors: Sofeia Noorzareith
Published: September 2023

This study explores the potential for deep learning among students participating in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Program (IEEP). Drawing on ecosystem theory and expected value theory, this research investigates how teacher-student and peer interactions can influence students' willingness to engage in deep learning, as determined by their self-efficacy and emotional value expectations. The study examines the relationships between perceived teacher-student and peer interactions, self-efficacy, emotional value expectations, and deep learning. A sample of 265 students from a Chinese university participated in the study. Research tools were developed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the research hypotheses. The results indicate that perceived teacher-student and peer interactions significantly impact students' self-efficacy and emotional value expectations, which in turn, influence deep learning behaviour. Self-efficacy and emotional value expectations mediate the relationship between perceived teacher-student and peer interactions and deep learning. The findings suggest that micro ecosystems can influence individuals' intrinsic belief values, which can, in turn, affect their behaviour. The study highlights the significant impact activities promoting such interactions can have on enhancing students' deep learning, innovation, and creativity abilities.

Hotels play a significant role in the growth of global tourism. With intense competition in the hotel industry, hotels are shifting their focus from solely providing superior services to identifying potential tourists. In a previous study, the J48 algorithm was employed to extract hotel transaction patterns, achieving an accuracy level of 71.6418% by considering gender and age characteristics[1]. In a separate study, foreign guest ratings by province were classified into three clusters. The study concluded that nearly 90% of provinces in Indonesia exhibit low levels of tourism, supported by the analysis of the number of tourists staying, as reported by the statistical center[2]. To identify potential tourists who can bring benefits to the hotel, hotel managers can utilize the k-means algorithm. In this study, a data mining process was conducted using data collected from tourists who stayed at the Bendesa Hotel. The process began with tourist segmentation using the K-means algorithm divided into clusters. Subsequently, the accuracy of the obtained data was calculated. This research employed room class as a reference value to discover tourist characteristics at the Bendesa Hotel. The results of applying the K-means model with 4 clusters indicated that the accuracy level for identifying potential tourists reached 84.4%.

This research focuses on accurately classifying pneumonia in children under the age of 5 using X-ray images, considering the challenge of an imbalanced dataset. A modified VGG-16 CNN architecture is evaluated for pneumonia classification in Chest X-Ray Images. The study compares testing results with and without data augmentation techniques and explores the potential application of the model in an Android-based machine learning system for pneumonia diagnosis assistance. Using a dataset of 5,856 Chest X-Ray images categorized as normal or pneumonia, obtained from Kaggle, the research conducts two test scenarios: one without data augmentation and another with data augmentation techniques. The modified VGG-16 CNN algorithm's performance is evaluated using the accuracy metric. The results highlight the effectiveness of data augmentation in improving pneumonia classification accuracy. The augmented tests outperform the non-augmented ones, achieving an impressive 92% accuracy, indicating a significant 15% improvement over the non-augmented scenario. This improvement underscores the efficacy of data augmentation techniques in enhancing the CNN's ability to accurately classify pneumonia, particularly when faced with an imbalanced dataset. Furthermore, the research explores the potential integration of the trained model into an Android-based machine learning system for pneumonia diagnosis assistance. This integration would enable doctors to analyze X-ray images and identify potential pneumonia cases in patients. The integration of advanced machine learning systems in healthcare holds promise for improving patient care and the accuracy of pneumonia diagnoses. In summary, this research contributes to the accurate classification of pneumonia in children under 5 years old using X-ray images. It emphasizes the efficacy of data augmentation techniques in enhancing classification accuracy and explores the practical application of an Android-based machine learning system for pneumonia diagnosis assistance.

Authors: Suárez Daniel , Lugo David , Pérez-Gil Mónica , Peña Gustavo , Ruiz Carlos
Published: September 2023

The Canary Islands are an archipelago of volcanic origin, located off north-west Africa comprising eight islands. Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are the oldest (20 and 15 millon years old, respectively) and the easternmost islands. The order Diptera is one of the most relevant taxa in the Canary Islands as they constitute the second highest species richness. Within this order, the family Tachinidae is especially interesting as all species are endoparasitoids of arthropods and most species play a key role as pollinators. In the Canary Islands, the family comprises 52 species, with Fuerteventura and Lanzarote harbouring up to 20 species each.

Aphria latifrons, a Palaearctic tachinid fly, is reported for the first time from the Canary Islands, where it was found on Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. Morphological examination was carried out and the first known barcode of the species is presented. Its potential distribution and source of origin are discussed.

Authors: Grigorova B. , Chobanov Al.
Published: September 2023

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and mild mitral regurgitation (MR) are ones of the most common structural changes of the heart and affect many young individuals, who aspire to partake in competitive sport or high intensity recreational exercise. These two conditions are associated with a different prognosis and possible omplications such as heart failure (HF), malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Therefore it is essential to determine the risk factors predicting these complications and to define a follow-up algorithm. The objective is to present a literature review of consensus recommendations addressing criteria for eligibility and disqualification from organized competitive sports for the purpose of ensuring the health and safety of young athletes.
