Responding in a time of crisis: Assessing extension efforts during COVID-19
Authors: Narine Lendel , Meier Cristian
Published: April 2020

Extension was forced to rapidly adjust its efforts and program delivery methods to respond to clientele needs during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. The pandemic presents a range of unique challenges to Extension including revisions to resource allocations and shifts in programmatic focus. Guided by a needs assessment framework, this paper assesses the rapid response of Utah State University (USU) Extension to meet residents needs during COVID-19. This correlational study gathered data from 199 Extension professionals (n = 199) at USU Extension. Findings show Extension professionals had good capacity to implement outreach activities related to online education, engaging residents, and external partnerships. Further, Extension took rapid actions in several areas in response to COVID-19, including providing online learning activities for youth, and conducting online classes in place of traditional face-to-face classes. Findings show professionals’ outreach capacity was positively related to the total number of actions taken in response to COVID-19. Extension professionals addressed COVID-19 topics such as telehealth, temporary homeschooling kids, and stress management. This study demonstrates the adaptability of Extension to an unpredictable event and provides a framework to assess response. Findings are geared towards effective resource allocation to support Extension’s role in meeting residents’ needs during COVID-19.

Potrero de Garay y el espacio habitacional prehispánico tardío en las sierras de Córdoba (Argentina).
Authors: Medina Matías , Pastor Sebastián
Published: April 2020

Sin dudas, Potrero de Garay es un sitio clásico para quienes hacemos investigaciones arqueológicas en las Sierras de Córdoba (Argentina). Su significado fue lo suficientemente impactante como para que uno de los autores de esta nota, con sólo 15 años de edad y luego de leer el artículo, emprendiera una travesía de decenas de kilómetros en bicicleta, sólo para conocer el sitio y utilizando la revista Comechingonia nº 4 (1984) como GPS. El otro autor permaneció años obsesionado con analizar los restos arqueofaunísticos del sitio, de los cuales sólo se habían publicado datos generales sobre la presencia/ausencia de ciertas especies. Hasta que finalmente tuvo acceso a los mismos, para realizar su tesina de licenciatura en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Tiempo después el Dr. Eduardo Berberián, investigador del sitio y co-director de la tesina, comentó algo así como: “este chico habla de Potrero de Garay como si fuera Teotihuacán”. Pero, más allá de la exagerada comparación, Potrero de Garay es realmente un sitio que marcó un hito sin antecedentes en la arqueología regional, e incluso hoy ocupa un lugar central en la investigación del Período Prehispánico Tardío.
Conditions of Proving a Crime under Islamic Law and the
Prohibition of Leniency in Particular Crimes
Authors: Nasir Dr. Muhammad
Published: April 2020

Human Life has been granted great sanctity in Islam. In order to protect human
life against any form of aggression, two types of punishments have been
prescribed by Islamic Law; “hadd”, which is a fixed and unchangeable form of
punishment prescribed in certain cases, and “ta’zeer” which is the variable and
discretionary part of punishment prescribed for cases other than “hadd”. A deep
analysis of these two types of punishments reveal that Islam wants to protect
the life, honor and property of every individual because any violation against
these three will result n disturbing the peace of the society which will lead to
chaos and loss of trust among the society members. Since a society is seldom
free form crimes, Islam does not want the individuals to take action against any
type of crime because this will lead to arbitrary application of law which is
against the very raison d’étre of any legal system. In this article, we analyze the
conditions of proving a crime under Islamic law and we also shed light on the
Prohibition of leniency in applying particular types of punishments.
Environmental pollution and teachings of Islam
Authors: ضیاء سنا
Published: April 2020

Man is Allah’s vicegerent on earth. The fulfillment of this sacred role requires
immense power, and for this purpose, Allah has made Nature subservient to
human beings. All natural objects and phenomena not only beautify the
universe, but also are the source for its nourishment. That is why the survival of
earth depends on the integrity of environment.Environment plays an integral
role in human life. Providence has created balance in environment which is
being destroyed by harmful human activities. Pollution has become a worldwide
problem. Different toxic matters and deforestation has made our earth a
dangerous abode for us. As Islam has guidelines for every aspect of life, so in
the same way, it asks human beings to preserve the environment. Our prophet’s
traditions are full of golden principles to preserve our surroundings. He advised
his followers to cover the edibles to protect them from toxic elements in the
environment. Moreover, he encouraged us to plant more and more trees, and
ensured blessings for the cultivators if their fruits are eaten by other creatures.
Hence our environment can be better looked after, if we follow the principles of
Islam. This paper discusses our prophet’s teachings on the protection and
preservation of environment, and the following of these principles can save us
and the coming generations from all ailments and impurities.
Flattering and its nature/limitations in the light of
Quran and Hadith
Authors: حسین ڈاکرشبیر
Published: April 2020

Flattering or praising someone in front of him has become routine practice being
commonly noticed in our society. It seems that the practice, which is actually
disallowed in Islam, is not being discouraged. Flattery is spreading like an
epidemic in our society. It is being assumed that one is successful in worldly life
if he/she knows the art to flatter.
There is difference between flattering, encouraging, reinforcing and praising.
Flattering or praising is not just to say something kind about a person. Praising
is to glorify especially by the attribution of perfections. Flattering is to praise
excessively especially from motives of self-interest. Admiring someone or and
encouraging him is not bad if done in the right way but praising someone in
front of him/her is not something good because mostly people do it to make a
good impression upon that person for their vested interest. That interest could
even be seeking good behavior or remarks in return. Flattery makes a person
flustered to the extent that in return he cannot see the mistakes of the flatterer.
In this article we shall know that such type of person is disliked not only by
Allah and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلمbut he is looked down upon all. Such like people are
mostly interpreted in Islamic History as “munafiq” due to resemblance of their
acts with munafiqeen.

Published: April 2020

The Arab castes’ life in pre-Islamic era is totally depended in
oral quarrels whether on poet or on addresser. The status of an
addresser was not less than a poet. That is, why they celebrated
a festival for the birth of a new addresser amongst them. Thus
he was honored with title of “echo of the cast”. But the
question is that: “What kind of addresses they delivered?” is to
be analytically answered. To introduce for an Urdu literary in
a comparative study of literatures, this articles discusses the
structure of some selected addresses, the themes, its features
and the relevancy to the event. It also describes the famous
addressers of illiteracy era.
DETERMINANTS OF POVERTY IN PAKISTAN
Authors: Ali Asghar
Published: April 2020

This research is about the impact of determinants of poverty in Pakistan. In this paper five independent macroeconomics variables that are government expenditure, budget deficit, unemployment rate, exchange rate and inflation rate are studied. In methodology, we have applied the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method. The time series data is used which consist of 19 observation that is 1995 to 2013 which we collect from different sources such as (WDI) and (The Global Economy.Com). Through this model we inquired the effect of Government Expenditure, Budget Deficit, Unemployment Rate, Exchange Rate, and Inflation Rate on poverty in Pakistan. Government expenditure and budget deficit have inverse relationship while unemployment has a direct relationship with poverty in Pakistan. Furthermore in this model we seek the impact of inflation rate and exchange rate which help us show negative relationship with poverty while inflation has also a direct relationship with it. In this thesis all of the five variables have been used with three out of five have negative and the other two have a positive relationship with poverty. Theoretically we have proved the relationship of these macroeconomics variables with the help of reference articles by collecting historical data according to Pakistan perspective on these variables.
FINANCIAL AUTHORIZATION OF PROVINCES UNDER 18TH
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF THE 7TH NFC (NATIONAL FINANCE COMMISSION) AWARD
Authors: Khan Ansa Javed
Published: April 2020

Since inception, Pakistan is having a federal democracy. Provinces are
authorized in the important subjects with regard to public services of the
economy including security and law making at Provincial level. The first
part of the paper briefly discusses the 18th amendment which was
incorporated by the National Assembly of Pakistan on 8th April 2010. The
amendment has not only brought major changes in the constitution of 1973
but has redefined the correlation between the two significant tiers of the
governments. Central government was entrusted with the domains such as
defense, currency and foreign affairs etc. while all the residuary powers were
given to the Provinces. The second part of the paper primarily focuses the
empowerment of the provinces in terms of financial matters under 7th NFC
Award. Pakistan has designed an elegant fiscal arrangement under National Finance Commission (NFC) which has chalked out the procedure for
distribution of national revenue between the federal government and the
governments of federating units. Along with the comparison of previous six
NFC awards this paper briefly discusses the need and importance of the 7th
NFC Award. Similarly the challenges faced by the federal and provincial
governments are discussed in detail

THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN PASHTUN’S AND MUGHAL’S AND THE ROLE OF KHUSHAL KHAN KHATTAK
Authors: Khan Dr. Muhammad Anees
Published: April 2020

Pashtuns are followed back to Afghans in their way of life. The historical backdrop of the Pashtun individuals is antiquated and quite a bit of it isn't completely investigated. Among these Pashtun's Khushal khan khattak (1613-1689) was an incredible writer, courageous warrior, researcher and head of the Khattak clan. He gave much weight on the solidarity of Pashtuns tribes and supported insurrection against the Mughal's. He likewise advanced Pashtun patriotism through his verse and presumably the primary Afghan who exhibited his speculations for the solidarity of the Pashtun clans against outside powers and for the production of an afghan state. He spent a greater amount of his life, in battling against the severe Mughal Empires. But question is this whys Khushal Khan against the Mughal empires? What are the reasons behind this? This paper will resolve that issue.
SERVICE CONTINUANCE INTENTION IN THE HEALTH INSURANCE SETTING: A PLS-SEM APPROACH
Authors: Ahmad Munawar Javed
Published: April 2020

This study aimed to access service continuance intention and the mediating role of customer satisfaction in between the service quality, perceived price, and perceived value towards the service continuance intention of the health insurance customers in the context of Malaysia. Data were collected from international university students. Simple random sampling technique was used to collect the data from the 264 respondents. PLS-SEM technique was employed to test the model and proposed hypotheses. Findings of this study discovered that all three factors (service quality, perceived price, and perceived value) significantly affect customer satisfaction and service continuance intention. Moreover, this study demonstrated that customer satisfaction plays a significant positive role to mediate the relationship between the service quality, perceived price, and perceived value toward the service continuance intention. The findings of this research advocates that health insurance firms operating in Malaysia should focus to enhance the service quality, offer competitive price, and deliver the best value to the customer which significantly improve customer satisfaction. Consequently, customer satisfaction triggers the customer toward continues business transaction with the same insurance firm.

NEW DATA ON THE BUTTERFLIES OF WESTERN STARA PLANINA MTS (BULGARIA & SERBIA) (LEPIDOPTERA, PAPILIONOIDEA)
Authors: Langourov Mario
Published: April 2020

The paper represents results of surveys carried out in the Western Stara Planina Mts within the last four years in order to improve the knowledge of the butterfly fauna, especially in the Bulgarian part of the mountain. A total of 150 species of Lepidoptera (Papilionoidea) was recorded with comments on their distribution in the Bulgarian part of the studied region. Nineteen species were recorded for the first time in the Bulgarian part of the mountain and one species (Apatura metis) – for the Serbian part. It has been found that the highest butterfly diversity is linked to the largest limestone area in the mountain near Komshtitsa Village where 101 species were observed. Interesting records for some rare or endangered species (Muschampia cribrellum, M. tessellum, Lycaena helle, Kirinia climene, Apatura metis, Nymphalis vaualbum, Melitaea didyma, M. arduinna, M. diamina and Brenthis ino) are discussed in detail. The high conservation value of the studied region proves by the species considered as threatened at the European level, of which seven species are included in the Annexes II and IV of the Habitats Directive, 12 species are listed in the Red Data Book of European butterflies and 26 in the European Red List of Butterflies.

Authors: Teruel Rolando , Rodríguez-Cabrera Tomás M.
Published: April 2020

Two new, remarkable species of schizomids are described in the present paper, both from eastern Cuba. One of them is the second known member of Troglocubazomus Teruel, 2003, which allows the redefinition of the generic diagnosis and expands the known range of this genus more than 200 km to the west, but still in the same orographic system (the Sierra Maestra Mountains). The other represents the ninth Cuban member of Antillostenochrus Armas & Teruel, 2002, but the first to be found living here in a desertic habitat (only one Hispaniolan species was previously known to live under the same aridity conditions). As results, the schizomid fauna of Cuba reaches 59 species (58 national endemics), with 39 of them occurring in its eastern region (35 regional endemics).

ESTIGENA WALLACEI SP. NOV. FROM WEST FLORES, INDONESIA (LEPIDOPTERA: LASIOCAMPIDAE)
Authors: Spitsyn Vitaly M. , Bolotov Ivan N. , Kondakov Alexander V. , Tomilova Alena A.
Published: April 2020

Here we describe Estigena wallacei sp. nov., an endemic species from West Flores, Indonesia. No Estigena species were known from Flores Island so far, while E. caesarea (Zolotuhin & Witt, 2005) was described from Timor Island. The relationship between these two taxa is unclear, because E. caesarea was described based on four male specimens, whereas our species from Flores is known from a single female. However, the COI sequence of E. cf. caesarea from Timor available in the BOLD database is distant from that of the new species supporting our taxonomic hypothesis on the separate species-level status of E. wallacei sp. nov.

Görsel Medyanın ve Subliminal Mesajların Çocuk Sağlığı Üzerine Etkileri
Authors: KANBUR Bahar Nur
Published: April 2020

Görsel medya, çocukların yaşamlarında büyük etkiye sahiptir. Çocukların davranışlarını, tutumlarını ve dünya görüşlerini şekillendirmesi sebebiyle sosyalleştirici etkisi en fazla olan araçlardan birisidir. Çocukların yaşamlarını zenginleştirmesi, sağlıksız davranışları değiştirmesi, eğitimi ve bilgiyi yaygınlaştırması, milli ve manevi değerlerin çocuğa kazandırılması, hoşgörüye teşvik etmesi, toplumsal farkları azaltmasını sağlayabilmesi gibi işlevleri bulunmaktadır. Ancak diğer bir açıdan bakıldığında görsel medya çocuğun hayal gücünü sınırlandırır, öğrenme güçlüğüne ve okul başarısında düşmeye neden olur. Şiddet içeren davranışlara teşvik etme, ahlaki değerlerin bozulmasına öncülük etme, sosyal duygusal duyarlılıkları azaltma, anksiyete, depresyon ve intihar davranışları üzerinde kolaylaştırıcı etki yapma, yerel kültürleri baskılama ve yabancılaşmaya katkı sağlama gibi olumsuz etkileri vardır. Televizyon, sinema, internet gibi görsel medya araçlarının içerdiği subliminal mesajlar çocuk üzerinde direkt bir etkiye sahip değildir, ancak dolaylı yoldan bilinçaltını etkileyerek çocukların davranışları üzerinde değişiklik yaratır. Çocukların görsel medya ile geçirdikleri sürenin uzunluğu göz önüne alındığında, çocuklar üzerinde olumsuz kalıcı etkileri olmaktadır. Çocuklar bu konu karşısında savunmasız durumda oldukları için çocuk ve görsel medya ilişkisi üzerinde dikkatle durulması gereken önemli bir konudur. Bu derlemenin amacı, görsel medya araçlarının içerdiği subliminal mesajların çocuk sağlığı üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerini literatür bilgileri ışığında sunmaktır.
Memahami Tantangan Teologi Pluralisme dan Teologi Pembebasan
Authors: Paembonan Yafet M
Published: April 2020

The diversity of religious beliefs in today's society has the potential to cause conflict, that is if each group insists on the truth it believes. Theology of pluralism is presently offering a new religion based on all the truths that are recognized. But is theology pluralism really the answer, or does it have a greater negative impact? At first glance, the emergence of a theology of pluralism is similar to the emergence of liberation theology as an attempt to answer theological problems. So in this study, the relationship between pluralism theology and liberation theology is discussed, as well as the impact of plural theology. Researchers conduct literature studies to examine the theology of pluralism, make comparisons, and ultimately draw conclusions. From this research, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between plural theology and liberation theology and that pluralism theology impacts relativism in standards, so there is no absolute moral standard. Abstrak: Keberagaman keyakinan agama di kalangan masyarakat masa kini berpotensi menimbulkan konflik, yaitu apabila masing-masing kelompok bersikukuh pada kebenaran yang diyakininya. Teologi pluralisme hadir menawarkan sebuah agama baru yang bertolak dari semua kebenaran yang diakui. Namun apakah teologi pluralisme sungguh-sungguh menjadi jawaban, ataukah justru memiliki dampak negatif yang lebih besar? Sekilas, kemunculan teologi pluralisme mirip dengan kemunculan teologi pembebasan sebagai sebuah upaya menjawab masalah teologis. Maka dalam penelitian ini dibahas hubungan antara teologi pluralisme dan teologi pembebasan, serta dampak dari teologi pluralisme. Peneliti melakukan studi pustaka untuk mencermati teologi pluralisme, melakukan komparasi, dan pada akhirnya menarik kesimpulan. Dari penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa ada hubungan antara teologi pluralisme dan teologi pembebasan, dan bahwa teologi pluralisme berdampak pada relativisme dalam standar, sehingga tidak ada standar moral yang absolut.

Does FDI Caused Profit Repatriation: Exploring the Moderating Role of Governance Institutions
Authors: Faheem Ghalib Bin , Siddiqui Danish Ahmed
Published: April 2020

This paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment, institutional quality on profit repatriation and net primary income taken as a proxy of profit repatriation. Inflation and GDP per capital were taken as controls. Data sample of 54 countries (developing) has been used for the first model of this research. And data sample of 100 countries (developed and developing both) has been used for the second model. The sample period is from 2008-2017. Finding of this study indicate that institutions quality is negatively impacting profit repatriation and net primary income. It also reveals foreign direct investment is negatively affecting profit repatriation but positively impacting net primary income. Results reveal that investors are unwilling to invest in countries where institutions encourage corruption, because these factors increase the cost of doing business. Developing countries have weaker institutions than developed countries and so, investors will be taking their profit back and not willing to re-invest in that particular country.

Genetic Diversity Based on Morphological Traits of 19 Maize Genotypes Using Principal Component Analysis and GT Biplot
Authors: Al-Naggar A. M. M. , Shafik M. M. , Musa R. Y. M.
Published: April 2020

Among the phenotypic, biochemical, and molecular methods employed in assessment of genetic diversity, the phenotypic method has proven efficient for the assessment, description and classification of germplasm collections to enhance their use in maize breeding. The objectives of the present study were: (i) to assess the extent of genetic diversity in a collection of Egyptian commercial maize hybrids and populations, through field evaluation under water and N stressed and non-stressed conditions, using morphological data based on Principle Component Analysis (PCA), (ii) to measure the genetic distance among these genotypes using UPGMA cluster analysis and (iii) to assess the relationship between grain yield and yield-related traits of maize genotypes using GT-biplot analysis. A two-year field experiment was conducted in a split-split plot design with 3 replications, where 2 irrigation regimes, three N rates and 19 maize genotypes occupied the main plots, sub plots and sub-sub plots, respectively. The germplasm was assessed for 21 agronomic traits. Highly significant differences (P ≤ 0.01) were observed among the maize hybrids and populations for all measured traits.  Results of the GT biplot in the present study indicated that high values of 100-Kernel weight, ears/plant, kernels/plant, kernels/row, plant height, nitrogen use efficiency, nitrogen utilization efficiency, and grain nitrogen content and short ASI could be considered reliable secondary traits for improving grain yield under stressed and non-stressed conditions. The highest genetic distance was found between G9 (SC-2055) and each of G15 (American Early Dent), G18 (Midland) or G19 (Ried Type). The Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering based on phenotypic data assigned the maize genotypes into five groups. The different groups obtained can be useful for deriving the inbred lines with diverse features and diversifying the heterotic pools.

Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for rural areas in Bihar. Agriculture being mostly dependent on monsoon is highly affected by scanty rainfall, weather variations, flood, etc. The study was conducted in Bhagalpur district of Bihar to assess role of different technologies in enhancing income and mitigate challenges faced by farmers. Three villages of Sabour block in Bhagalpur district namely Farka, Ghospur and English were selected for study. A total of 150 farmers (50 from each village) were selected randomly and data was collected using semi-structured interview schedule. Production innovations like high yielding varieties, new techniques, and home-made remedies of costly designs were identified, along with a marketing channel to sell vegetables from diara region. Some new crops like strawberry and fruits plantation in large area seemed to have good scope; poultry business also appeared to be promising. Some constraints were also identified which when rectified can give new potentials to agricultural production in this area.

Published: April 2020

Aim: An indigenous Bacillus thuringiensis strain G5-8-3T02 earlier isolated from healthy shrimp intestine and established to safeguard Penaeus monodon from Vibrio mimicus infection was assessed as a potential candidate bacterium for drug enhancement for shrimp culture systems.

Methodology: Optimal temperature, pH and salinity for growth and antibacterial activity of Bacillus thuringiensis against Vibrio mimicus were determined. The effects of enzymes (pepsin, catalase, lipase and α- amylase), pH (2-9), heat (37°C – 121°C) and surfactants (Sodium dodecyl sulphate and Tween 80) on antibacterial activity were also evaluated. Cell growth and antibacterial activity were monitored daily for 5 days via spectrophotometric method at 600 nm and agar well diffusion assay respectively. The metabolite extracted with methanol was analyzed for bioactive compounds using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).

Results: The optimum temperature, pH and salinity for growth and metabolite production were 35°C, pH 6-7 and 10-15 ppt. respectively. The crude extract did not totally lose its activity when treated with enzymes, various pH values, heat and surfactants. The quantitative composition of the metabolite revealed 15 bioactive compounds. The main compound produced was 2, 6, 10-Trimethyltridecane with peak area of 14.58%.

Conclusion: The non-pathogenic, antagonistic, indigenous Bacillus thuringiensis strain G5-8-3T02 could be engaged in the management of vibriosis in shrimp culture since the use of antibiotics in aquaculture for disease control yields objectionable effects. The identified bioactive compounds might be valuable for drug development for shrimp culture system.

We describe a copper‐catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reaction of alkyl halides with terminal alkynes under ambient conditions, efficiently providing a versatile tool for the construction of substituted alkynes. A new proline‐based N,N,P‐ligand is utilized to promote the transformation under a mild reaction condition. Diverse alkyl halides, such as primary and secondary (hetero)benzyl chlorides and bromides, secondary and tertiary α‐bromo amides and propargylic bromide, are applicable to provide a wide array of alkynes.

A flexible design framework for process systems under demand‐side management
Authors: Liu Yu , Fan Yueyue , Palazoglu Ahmet , El‐Farra Nael H.
Published: April 2020

Demand response (DR) has been an appealing strategy for both residential and commercial/industrial customers of electricity due to the increasing penetration of renewable energy resources into the power grid and the deregulation of the energy markets. For industrial DR participants, the management of energy consumption along with the satisfaction of production expectations is generally referred to as demand‐side management. Recent research in this area has focused mostly on process scheduling and capacity planning, especially for energy‐intensive processes. This article presents a new direction through an optimization‐based process design paradigm that allows for the potential reconfiguration of the process flow sheet in real time. Based on a case study of pump network design, a network superstructure is first defined, followed by a two‐stage stochastic optimization model. The method of progressive hedging is used to solve the resulting mixed‐integer stochastic programming problem. The results demonstrate that, under various scenarios, the reconfigurable design offers significant benefits compared to a fixed network structure in terms of total design cost and expected operating cost.

Premise

Difficulties in comparing extremely divergent features in fully mycoheterotrophic plants with those in closely related chlorophyllous plants have complicated attempts to reveal the evolutionary patterns and processes of fully mycoheterotrophic plants. Albino mutants of partially mycoheterotrophic plants, generally observed in Orchidaceae, have provided an ideal model for investigating the evolution of mycoheterotrophy within similar genetic backgrounds. In 2018, we found a putative albino population of Pyrola (Ericaceae). Here we aimed to reveal the identity of the albino pyroloid and confirm its fully mycoheterotrophic status.

Methods

To reveal the putative albino pyroloid's identity, we examined its morphology and sequenced its chloroplast DNA. In addition, we assessed the trophic status of the putative albino pyroloid by analyzing chlorophyll fluorescence, chlorophyll concentration, and natural 13C and 15N abundances.

Results

We identified albino individuals as P. japonica—otherwise a partially mycoheterotrophic species. We confirmed their albino status by their considerably lower chlorophyll fluorescence and concentrations than those of sympatrically occurring chlorophyllous plants. 13C abundance in the albino individuals was significantly higher than in the green individuals of P. japonica.

Conclusions

This first report of albino mutants from partially mycoheterotrophic species in angiosperms other than orchids will play a valuable role in further studies focused on mycoheterotrophy. For instance, their δ13C and δ15N values represent a reference for fully mycoheterotrophic plants in Pyrola. Our findings also indicate the strong dependence of some leafy Pyrola species on fungal C during their entire life cycle.

Published: April 2020

In this study, Schiff base network (SNW)‐1 nanoparticles with high hydrophilicity and large specific surface area were used to prepare polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)‐based mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), which were evaluated for ethanol dehydration. Because of the low difference of density between SNW‐1 and PVA, the as‐prepared nanoparticles can be uniformly distributed into the PVA active layer. The effects of SNW‐1 loading, feed temperature, and water concentration on pervaporation (PV) performance were further studied. The results showed the MMM with 10 wt% of SNW‐1 loading exhibited a separation factor of 1,501 and a permeation flux of 187 g m−2h−1for feeding 95 wt% ethanol/water binary solution at 75°C. Overall, the SNW‐1/PVA MMMs showed great prospect in ethanol dehydration via PV.
Novel chyme reinfusion device for gastrointestinal fistulas and stomas: feasibility study

Published: April 2020

Background

High-output enterostomies and enteroatmospheric fistulas are common causes of intestinal failure, and may necessitate parenteral nutrition and prolonged hospital stay. Reinfusing lost chyme into the distal gut is known to be beneficial, but implementation has been limited because manual reinfusion is unpleasant and labour-intensive, and no devices are available. A new device is presented for reinfusing chyme easily and efficiently, with first-in-human data.

Methods

The device comprises a compact centrifugal pump that fits inside a standard stoma appliance. The pump is connected to an intestinal feeding tube inserted into the distal intestinal limb. The pump is activated across the appliance by magnetic coupling to a hand-held driver unit, effecting intermittent bolus reinfusion while avoiding effluent contact. Safety, technical and clinical factors were evaluated.

Results

Following microbiological safety testing, the device was evaluated in ten patients (median duration of installation 39·5 days; total 740 days). Indications included remediation of high-output losses (8 patients), dependency on parenteral nutrition (5), and gut rehabilitation before surgery (10). Reinfusion was well tolerated with use of regular boluses of approximately 200 ml, and no device-related serious adverse events occurred. Clinical benefits included resumption of oral diet, cessation of parenteral nutrition (4 of 5 patients), correction of electrolytes and liver enzymes, and hospital discharge (6 of 10). Of seven patients with intestinal continuity restored, one experienced postoperative ileus.

Conclusion

A novel chyme reinfusion device was developed and found to be safe, demonstrating potential benefits in remediating high-output losses, improving fluid and electrolyte balance, weaning off parenteral nutrition and improving surgical recovery. Pivotal trials and regulatory approvals are now in process.

Among visceral metastatic sites, cutaneous melanoma (CM) metastasises initially to the liver in ~14–20% of cases. Liver metastases in CM patients are associated with both poor prognosis and poor response to immunotherapy. Histopathological growth patterns (HGPs) of liver metastases of the replacement and desmoplastic type, particularly from colorectal cancer and uveal melanoma (UM), may impart valuable biological and prognostic information. Here, we have studied HGP in 43 CM liver metastases resected from 42 CM patients along with other prognostic factors from three institutions. The HGPs (replacement, desmoplastic, pushing) were scored at the metastasis–liver interface with two algorithms: (1) 100% desmoplastic growth pattern (dHGP) and any (≥1%) replacement pattern (any‐rHGP) and (2) >50% dHGP, >50% rHGP or mixed (<50% dHGP and/or rHGP, pushing HGP). For 1 patient with 2 metastases, an average was taken to obtain 1 final HGP yielding 42 observations from 42 patients. 22 cases (52%) had 100% dHGP whereas 20 (48%) had any replacement. Cases with rHGP demonstrated vascular co‐option/angiotropism. With the development of liver metastasis, only rHGP (both algorithms), male gender and positive resection margins predicted diminished overall survival (p = 0.00099 and p = 0.0015; p = 0.034 and p = 0.024 respectively). On multivariate analysis, only HGP remained significant. 7 of 42 (17%) patients were alive with disease and 21 (50%) died with follow‐up after liver metastases ranging from 1.8 to 42.2 months (mean: 20.4 months, median: 19.0 months). 14 (33%) patients with previously‐treated metastatic disease had no evidence of disease at last follow up. In conclusion, we report for the first time replacement and desmoplastic HGPs in CM liver metastases and their prognostic value, as in UM and other solid cancers. Of particular importance, any rHGP significantly predicted diminished overall survival while 100% dHGP correlated with increased survival. These results contribute to a better understanding of the biology of CM liver metastases and potentially may be utilised in managing patients with these metastases.
