Agricultural science performs a substantial function in monetary and societal growth in nearly all developing nations. Data on satisfactory excellence is an indispensable criterion for the development of all fields of farming. By means of the speedy growth of Information Technologies (ITs), data and information can be efficiently produced, warehoused, scrutinized, distributed, and utilized to reinforce agriculturalists and agricultural societies to enhance agricultural output and sustainability. Information facilities for agriculturalists at the nationwide and provincial levels are an auspicious novel field of investigation and presentation in the evolving field of e-agriculture. This paper aims to address the challenges associated with the dissemination of localized agricultural information to farmers within a localized region in Nigeria using mobile networks and explicitly examined the application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in disseminating agricultural information to farmers in Nigeria. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that the government should establish information centers with up-to-date information technology infrastructures and mini-community libraries in all rustic regions in Nigeria where modern agricultural information can be easily obtained by the farmers.

Att övertyga mellan raderna
Authors: Sigrell Anders
Published: April 2021

”När vi låter oss övertygas av andra eller själva lyckas övertyga sker det inte alltid tydligt och rationellt. Ofta är argumenten dolda mellan raderna.” Det är denna förtäckta retorik som är fokus för Anders Sigrells undersökning av språkets verktyg och fällor: hur effektiv är egentligen dold argumentation, går det att ställa upp en etisk norm för kommunikation? Boken tar retoriken på allvar som en sökande och problemlösande kunskap: en kunskap som griper in i grundläggande frågor om demokrati, vardagligt sunt förnuft och det komplicerade sambandet mellan vår omgivande verklighet och det språk vi är hänvisade till för att förhålla oss till denna verklighet. Retoriken handlar med Aristoteles ord om ”det som kan vara på annat sätt” – och om hur vi väljer, förstår och handlar i en värld utan entydiga moraliska eller praktiska facitlistor.

Euphemism of Human Physiological Needs From the Perspective of Chinese and Vietnamese
Authors: Le Pham Quoc Hung
Published: April 2021

It can be said that the language reflected a national identity, its contains the nation's cultural background and ways of thinking. Euphemism reflects a national cultural system and embodies different cultural patterns. There are a lot of cultural connotations in Chinese and Vietnamese language, although there are a lot of similarities between them, but there are still differences in the way of thinking and expression. By exploring the relationship between language and cultural factors and the influence of word euphemism, euphemism can be seen in two languages in language and culture two aspects of the homogeneous and heterogeneous. On language factor terms, two languages are using assonance to replace human nature discharge, whilst the dissimilaries are metonymy, loan word and personification. On culture factor terms, the convergences are metonymy and application of the semantically-contrary-word-euphemism, whilst the difference is Chinese euphemism using allusion but Vietnamese euphemism does not.
Faded copies: Reduplication as distribution of activity
Authors: Zimmermann Eva
Published: April 2021

This paper proposes a new theory of reduplication that is based on redefining phonological copying as distribution of underlying activity within the framework of Gradient Symbolic Representations (Smolensky & Goldrick 2016). This assumption correctly predicts that copied elements are more likely to undergo phonological reduction and that reduction in a non-copying context implies reduction in a copying context but not vice versa. These predictions are summarized in the new empirical generalization of the ‘Copying-Weakening-Implication’. It is illustrated with case studies of two language types that show different thresholds for reduction: languages can show reduction only for copied material or only for material that is copied twice. Another important result of the proposal is the fact that copying symmetrically weakens all elements that are involved in the copying and does not single out the ‘reduplicant’ as the best target for reduction processes. This prediction is an important difference to accounts of reduplication based on BR-faithfulness (McCarthy & Prince 1995).

Published: April 2021

Background: Swine flu had been established as seasonal influenza, but antigenic variation continues to result in epidemics that necessitate continued surveillance. Present study aims to describe the time trend of swine flu from its initiation in 2009 to 2019 from western zone of Rajasthan.

Material and Methods: This secondary analysis of swine flu data from established seasonal disease reporting was conducted at a tertiary care centre of western Rajasthan which was the only swine flu testing centre in this area. Only Lab confirmed cases from this centre were included for month wise distribution.

Results: First case from Jodhpur was seen in August 2009. Large peaked outbreaks were seen around every 4 years namely 2009-10, 2014-15, 2018-19 corresponding to the antigenic variation of this virus namely California, Michigan and Brisbane strain respectively. Cases were seen in mostly in winters with peak in December/January. Mortality rate among these lab confirmed cases varied from 0–22% in different outbreaks.

Conclusion: Continued laboratory surveillance is necessary to identify the time pattern of outbreaks and for early identification of emergence of new strain to ensure early and timely preparedness for impending epidemics.

Published: April 2021

The aim of the present study was to examine seven case studies and ascertain whether the imagos internalized by students of Fine Arts, a Young Person and an Elderly Person can be reworked, after the students have been submitted to a course in Anatomy. In the present study, we have combined two methods - gathering written responses and drawings - and examined what students know about the organs they drew and used a content analysis grid to evaluate the mental representation of the interior of the body of both profiles (Young Person and Elderly Person), before and after academic training (Anatomy classes). The preliminary data collected provided a prima facie scenario for the existence of at least one sequencial comulative progression in the development of the art students drawings. However further research is needed to establish the extent to which this finding might apply beyond the tasks assigned in the present protocol.
Glenohumeral Arthrodesis Using Pelvic Reconstruction Plates: a Series of 15 Patients
Authors: Chib Mohinder Singh , Charak Sumeet Singh , Singh Satvir , Oberoi IPS
Published: April 2021

Background. Glenohumeral joint arthrodesis has become a rare entity due to the introduction of shoulder arthroplasty. It is an excellent salvage procedure for patients with severe shoulder dysfunction, with limited treatment options, indicated for brachial plexus injury, tumour resection, chronic infection, failed prosthetic arthroplasty, or pseudoparalysis of the shoulder due to combined rotator cuff and deltoid deficiency. Shoulder arthrodesis relieves the patient of pain and gives a decent amount of function. The aim of this study was to examine the mid-term outcomes of glenohumeral arthrodesis with 2 pelvic recon plates.
Methods and methods. This study was done in a tertiary referral centre over a period of about 2 years. All the patients were operated on with 2AO 3.5mm recon plates and screws. Indications for surgery comprised unreconstructable rotator cuff tears, a neoplastic lesion, paralytic disorders, TB shoulder, arthritic disease unsuitable for arthroplasty, and sequelae of septic shoulder. Cancellous grafts were used in all operated patients, while a cortical graft was used in the tumour case to fill the bone defect after tumour excision. A minimum of 18 months was essential for inclusion into the study.
Results. 15 patients were included in the study. All the patients had decreased postoperative pain, which further decreased to pain-free status at further follow-up visits. All the arthrodeses produced bony union with average time to union of 5.4 months. All patients could feed and dress themselves with the ipsilateral limb. The only complication noted in this series was a superficial infection in 3 patients only, which subsided after wound wash, debridement and antibiotics for 10 days.
Conclusions. 1. With specific indications, shoulder arthrodesis results in a good painless postoperative shoulder function and thus presents an excellent operative option. 2. The position of arthrodesis chosen here ensures that the arm rests comfortably at the side. 3. The patients can move their hands to their mouth and facial regions. 4. Recon plates should be used for arthrodesis because they are easy to shape without compromising on strength. 5. Few complications of procedure are there but it is a great therapeutic measure in selected individuals.

Regulation of Exosomes in the Pathogenesis of Breast Cancer
Authors: Shi Congjian , Yang Hongqin , Wang Zhengchao , Zhang Zhenghong
Published: April 2021

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous group of endogenous nanoscale vesicles that are secreted by various cell types. Based on their biogenesis and size distribution, EVs can be broadly classified as exosomes and microvesicles. Exosomes are enveloped by lipid bilayers with a size of 30–150 nm in diameter, which contain diverse biomolecules, including lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Exosomes transport their bioactive cargoes from original cells to recipient cells, thus play crucial roles in mediating intercellular communication. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women and remains a major health problem worldwide, diagnostic strategies and therapies aimed at breast cancer are still limited. Growing evidence shows that exosomes are involved in the pathogenesis of breast cancer, including tumorigenesis, invasion and metastasis. Here, we provide a straightforward overview of exosomes and highlight the role of exosomes in the pathogenesis of breast cancer, moreover, we discuss the potential application of exosomes as biomarkers and therapeutic tools in breast cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
Authors: Ghosh Sukanya
Published: April 2021

Arrythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetic form of cardiomyopathy causing fibro-fatty replacement of the myocardium. Although usually transmission is autosomal dominant, 12 genes encoding cardiac desmosomes have been found to be closely linked to this disease process shifting the congenital disease theory to a genetic one. The categorisation of ARVC as a myocyte adhesion disorder was first suggested by a molecular genetic study involving patients with Naxos disease. Misnomeric to only affect the right ventricle, ARVC also affects the left ventricle - culminating into biventricular failure as a long term prognosis. Epidemiology is well established with a male to female preponderance. It is currently the second most common cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in population < 35 yrs. Pathological basis of the varied clinical presentation is explained at the molecular level with myocardial atrophy, fibro-fatty replacement and chamber dilatation. Diagnosing the condition by ruling out the pitfall differentials is an enormous challenge due to the broad phenotypic spectrum including syncope on one end and SCD on the other. Task Force Criteria combines electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography (ECHO), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI), myocardial biopsy for diagnosis; early detection, family screening and risk stratification being the cornerstones. Therapeutic options although limited due to the progressive nature of the disease is based on preventing life threatening arrhythmias encompassing primary and secondary prevention - Implantable cardioverter -defibrillator (ICD) implantation, radiofrequency ablation and heart transplantation are the main ones.

Authors: Made Arsana I , Agung Wahyuono Ruri
Published: April 2021

As shell and tube heat exchanger is widely employed in various field of industries, heat exchanger design remains a constant optimization challenge to improve its performance. The heat exchanger design includes not only the architectural geometry of either the shell and tube configuration or the additional baffles but also the working fluid. The baffle design including the baffle angle and the baffle distance has been understood as key parameter controlling the overall heat exchanger effectiveness. In addition, a room of improvement is open by substituting the conventional working fluid with the nanomaterials-enriched nanofluid. The nanomaterials, e.g. Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, increases the thermal conductivity of the working fluids, and hence, the more efficient heat transfer process can be achieved. This chapter provide an insight on the performance improvement of shell and tube heat exchanger by modifying the baffle design and utilizing nanofluids.

Published: April 2021

Cardiomyopathy includes a diverse and heterogeneous group of disorders affecting the myocardium and eventually leading to cardiac dysfunction. Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of hospitalization in patients older than 65 years of age and it is an important cause for enormous healthcare expenditure. All reversible cardiomyopathies can be associated with cardiomegaly, systolic heart failure, structural changes, and an increase in mortality, but when the offensive agent is identified and stopped, these conditions tend to stop their progression and reverse. The prognosis of reversible nonischemic cardiomyopathies is better than ischemic or other nonreversible cardiomyopathies. Additionally, it is important to diagnose etiology of HF early and precisely to determine prognosis and effective treatment. Most patients with reversible cardiomyopathy present with clinical picture similar to that of systolic heart failure. Here in this book chapter, we discuss about different types of reversible cardiomyopathy including pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment.
Sexual Violence and Women Empowerment in India: Findings from a Nationally Representative Sample Survey
Authors: Shabnam Shewli
Published: April 2021

Promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women and elimination of violence against women was recognised as an important component in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Intimate partner violence is one of the most common forms of gender based violence throughout the world. Empowering women is an effective measure required to tackle the problem of domestic violence. There are various parameters that are used to measure women empowerment like education, work force participation, women’s decision making capacity in the family etc. In this paper we have analysed the relationship between women’s experience of spousal sexual violence and women empowerment using the ecological model of domestic violence proposed by Heise. We have used the data of the 4th National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4) conducted in India in 2015–2016. Our results show that common empowerment related factors like education was not significantly associated with women’s experience of sexual abuse. Moreover, the likelihood of facing sexual abuse by husband was found higher among working women. We observe that relational and contextual factors like husband’s assertion of control over wife, cultural norms that condone wife abuse significantly increased women’s likelihood of experiencing sexual violence by husband.

Due to the fact that zeolite-like structures and their characteristics vary within wide ranges, materials with high-performance properties can be obtained through regulation of the structure formation processes. This can be provided by a proper choice of type of an aluminosilicate component, cation of an alkaline component and additives, including Ca-containing ones, and curing conditions. When the cement matrix formation process is appropriately directed, the zeolite-like products (hydrosodalite, analcime, chabasite, faujasite etc.) dominate in the microstructure that is formed. The ability of some zeolites to recrystallize with temperature increase into stable feldspar-like aluminosilicates without destroying the basic skeleton opens a pathway that is worth to explore in the production of materials similar to low temperature ceramics, intumescent coatings, high temperature and corrosion resistant structures, etc. The examples are given on how to use the above cement matrices for making some of the above listed materials.

Published: April 2021

O livro “Cidade e História na Amazônia” resulta de um esforço de tentar compreender o quadro complexo de discussões sobre a história das cidades na Amazônia brasileira. A obra apresenta compreensões sobre a natureza e a contraposição entre as visões sobre a bacia amazônica, nas quais a subjetividade se expressa no período contemporâneo pela forte manutenção da memória coletiva, vinculada às formas de vida florestal como resistência cultural e como modos de expressão de um inconsciente coletivo. Escrito por Yara Vicentini, o livro tem extensão de 290 páginas e possui configurações de texto argumentativo-dissertativo, sendo escrito em língua portuguesa (BR). Apresenta escrita coerente, coesa, possuindo conteúdo e estrutura bem articulados e desenvolvidos.
The Resolution of the Antinomy of the Teleological Judgment
Authors: Jáuregui Claudia ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

In §§62–82 of Kant’s Critique of the Power of Judgment we find several references to the supersensible in the context of the solution of the antinomy of the power of teleological judgment. It is not, however, plainly clear how these references relate to each other or how they contribute to the proposed solution. Specially puzzling is the way in which the idea of an intelligent author of the world is related to the idea of an intuitive understanding. Some interpreters have considered that the intelligent author of the world should possess an understanding capable of intuition. Kant, however, never expressly establishes this relationship. In this paper I intend to show that the idea of an intelligent author of the world cannot be enlarged with the idea of an intuitive understanding. Both of the references to the supersensible perform different functions.
A trajetória das divisões pesadas da URSS e Rússia e dos EUA ao início e ao final da Guerra Fria

Published: April 2021

Este artigo apresenta e discute o trajeto que levou os desenhos organizacionais das divisões pesadas da URSS e dos EUA ao início e ao final da Guerra Fria. Para tanto, explica as armas combinadas modernas centradas no tanque e o papel central do escalão de comando divisão (10.000-20.000 combatentes) para a disponibilização dos diferentes tipos de tropas necessários para que se possa tê-las quando necessário. Apresenta então os corpos de tanques e mecanizados da URSS, e a divisão blindada dos EUA em 1945, delineando como se chegou às divisões de rifles motorizados e de tanques da URSS e às divisões blindadas e mecanizadas dos EUA tomando c. 1985 como proxy para 1991 em função da turbulência do final da Guerra Fria. A conclusão afirma a continuidade e prevalência do enquadramento de disponibilização de armas combinadas modernas centradas no tanque na divisão como consideração principal no desenho organizacional de forças terrestres até o presente.
Conflito, discriminação e segregação na Palestina ocupada: etnocracia como síntese teórica possível
Authors: Sahd Fábio Bacila
Published: April 2021

O presente artigo opera uma revisão bibliográfica crítica acerca da discriminação e práticas de segregação na Palestina ocupada. São expostas as considerações de diferentes autores, divididas conforme entendem a ocupação, mas sobretudo a partir das forças históricas que constituem o Estado de Israel como etnocracia, quais sejam: o nacionalismo, o colonialismo e o capitalismo. Portanto, etnocracia é o conceito que faz convergir as diferentes interpretações aqui apresentadas, enfatizando-se suas aproximações. Ademais, a bibliografia é comparada a relatórios de direitos humanos da ONU e de ONGs, demonstrando sua complementaridade.
Mediastinal contrast extravasation after injection via central venous catheter with follow-up venography: a case report
Authors: Kastelic Marko , Kocijančič Igor , Nuredini Dašmir , Vidmar Jernej
Published: April 2021

A central venous catheter can occasionally be used for contrast injection during a CT scan, with mediastinal contrast extravasation as a possible rare complication in this setting. According to the published cases, interventional venography has never been performed to assess the venous system directly. We present a case of mediastinal contrast extravasation with follow-up venography, which clearly depicted a subintimal leak and no evidence of sustained extravasation. The contrast was reabsorbed shortly after the extravasation with no adverse effects for the patient. The presented case illustrates the importance of recognition of proper positioning of central venous catheters before performing angiographies with relatively high flow velocity, such as CT angiography, as well as the importance of performing staff being familiar with different aspects of working with central venous catheters.
Več kot le rak materničnega vratu: neoplazme v povezavi z okužbo s človeškimi papilomavirusi in njihovo preprečevanje

Človeški (humani) papilomavirusi (HPV) so heterogena skupina virusov, ki jih etiološko povezujemo z benignimi in malignimi novotvorbami ploščatoceličnega epitela. Prav tako pa se vpletajo tudi v karcinogenezo adenokarcinomov. Zmotno je prepričanje, da je okužba s HPV povezana zgolj z rakom materničnega vratu. Številne raziskave so potrdile povezavo med okužbo s HPV in nastankom anogenitalnih bradavic, papilomatoze grla, raka glave in vratu ter nenazadnje novotvorb zunanjega spolovila, nožnice, anusa in penisa. Okužba s HPV je danes v razvitih državah poznana kot najpogostejša spolno prenosljiva bolezen. Z njo se okuži večina spolno aktivnih ljudi vsaj enkrat v življenju. Pred okužbo se lahko zaščitimo s splošnimi ukrepi, kot so manjše število spolnih partnerjev, kasnejši začetek spolnega življenja ter varno in odgovorno vedenje. Trenutno ne poznamo specifičnega protivirusnega zdravljenja okužbe s HPV. Najuspešnejša metoda, s katero lahko preprečimo okužbo s HPV, je cepljenje. Z obstoječimi cepivi lahko preprečimo večino hujših predrakavih sprememb in raka materničnega vratu ter druge benigne in maligne neoplazme, povzročene z okužbo z virusi HPV.

Continuous bubble streams for controlling marine biofouling on static artificial structures
Authors: Hopkins Grant A. , Gilbertson Fletcher , Floerl Oli , Casanovas Paula , Pine Matt , Cahill Patrick
Published: April 2021

Biofouling accumulation is not proactively managed on most marine static artificial structures (SAS) due to the lack of effective options presently available. We describe a series of laboratory and field trials that examine the efficacy of continuous bubble streams in maintaining SAS free of macroscopic biofouling and demonstrate that this treatment approach is effective on surface types commonly used in the marine environment. At least two mechanisms were shown to be at play: the disruption of settlement created by the bubble stream, and the scouring of recently settled larvae through shear stress. Field trials conducted over a one-year period identified fouling on diffusers as a major issue to long-term treatment applications. Field measurements suggest that noise associated with surface mounted air blowers and sub-surface diffusers will be highly localised and of low environmental risk. Future studies should aim to develop and test systems at an operational scale.
Ni extranjeras, ni secretarias: discursos de las científicas chilenas sobre el trabajo académico

Las mujeres dedicadas al trabajo científico representan menos de un tercio de quienes producen conocimiento en Chile; esto se suma a condiciones laborales desiguales, así como a una red simbólica compleja para el desarrollo científico femenino. Los crecientes estudios sobre ciencia y género tienden a centrarse en describir y analizar las condiciones y entornos académicos; sin embargo, la experiencia de las mujeres, así como sus aspectos cualitativos, han sido escasamente explorados. Este artículo reporta los hallazgos de una investigación que busca relevar la perspectiva de las científicas, indagando en los significados que construyen sobre la academia y su experiencia laboral en ella. A partir del análisis discursivo pragmático de 20 entrevistas a investigadoras de diversas disciplinas, se reportan dos repertorios interpretativos: “No quiero ser tu secretaria” y “yo soy la única mujer”, y plantea los relatos de ser una minoría laboral en un orden simbólico androcéntrico. Ambos repertorios muestran como las científicas conviven creativamente con una academia que tiende a organizarse mediante prácticas que aseguran que el conocimiento producido y reproducido sea androcéntrico. Se espera que los resultados posibiliten un diálogo acerca de una academia pluralista y una comunidad científica comprometida con la justicia de género.
