Myoglobin cast nephropathy following multiple bee stings
Authors: Madireddy Nishika , Swain Meenakshi , Yalamarty Ravishankar
Published: January 2023

Bee stings usually result in mild allergic reactions; however, mass envenomation can cause severe complications such as rhabdomyolysis, hemolysis, shock, or multi-organ damage. Rhabdomyolysis can result in acute renal failure either by tubular obstruction by myoglobin casts or by direct cytotoxic injury. We present a case of a 12-year-old female child who presented with sudden onset anuria and hypertension following mass envenomation by bees. A renal biopsy was performed, the microscopic evaluation of which revealed tubular injury, with associated intratubular pigmented casts. The casts stained positive for myoglobin immunohistochemical stain, thus confirming a diagnosis of myoglobin cast nephropathy. The patient was given IV steroids and underwent seven sessions of hemodialysis, following which there was complete recovery of renal function.

Published: January 2023

Purpose We aimed to determine the trends in the use of radiotherapy (RT) and the expenses associated with it in South Korea.Materials and Methods The statistical data of the claims and reimbursement records provided on the Health and Insurance Review and Assessment Service website were utilized. This included information such as the number of patients, fractions, medical expenses according to treatment codes, in/outpatient, sex, age, and regions of hospitals. We analyzed data from 2016 to 2020.Results With a growing RT infrastructure and an increase in the number of radiation oncologists, the expenses for RT were 605.5 million USD in 2020, which had increased 1.5 times from 394.7 million USD in 2016. This growth was mainly because of the increased usage of advanced RT techniques. Furthermore, the proportion of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) expenses in the total expenses increased by 1.6 times from 48.8% in 2016 to 76.9% in 2020. Advanced techniques were used more commonly in older individuals or children. However, the proportion of IMRT expenses increased mostly in young women. Additionally, geographical differences in RT use and expense were observed, although the gap in the IMRT fractions decreased among the regions.Conclusion Recent medical expenses associated with RT in Korea have increased in tandem with technological advances and changes in demographics.

Authors: Frydrychová Michaela
Published: January 2023

The story of a young student of wizardry Harry Potter is still famous all over the world even though the first book was published more than 20 years ago. The author of this heptalogy J. K. Rowling made up a whole new world full of spells, potions and magical creatures. When creating new words, she proved her talent for creating various puns. These expressions became a major challenge for translators of various languages, including Chinese. This study presents the results of a lexicological analysis of the neologisms that occurred in Harry Potter films. The main aim of the analysis was to determine which loanword categories were used for borrowing every single neologism from English to Chinese and which category was the most productive one within various groups of neologisms and within the whole corpus.

Monache di area francescana: qualche riflessione non soltanto lessicale
Authors: Marini Alfonso
Published: January 2023

L’articolo discute alcune concezioni storiografiche correnti sulle pauperes moniales inclusae e sull’Ordine di San Damiano, analizzando fonti agiografiche e liturgiche e considerando i dati di recenti ricerche sui monasteri femminili. Anche se l’iniziativa di una nuova aggregazione di monasteri femminili si deve al cardinale Ugolino di Ostia (poi papa Gregorio IX, 1227-1241), è difficile negare che nel corso degli anni, a partire già dalla fine del terzo decennio del Duecento, nelle opere dei frati Minori si parlasse di secondo Ordine iniziato da Francesco d’Assisi, di cui Chiara era la prima pianta. La documentazione sui monasteri mostra, poi, che non soltanto Chiara e poche altre monache si sentissero legate ai Minori, anche se la concezione pratica della povertà fosse tra loro diversa. Recenti studi, infine, hanno dimostrato che varie comunità claustrali rifiutarono il passaggio all’Ordo Sanctae Clarae nel 1263, mantenendo per tutto il Duecento e nei primi decenni del Trecento la vecchia formula vitae di Ugolino e la denominazione di Ordo Sancti Damiani. Risulta quindi corretto parlare di monache di area francescana.
HERESIA E SANTIDADE NOS REGISTROS ECLESIÁSTICOS SOBRE MULHERES NO SÉCULOS XIII
Authors: Reis Ferreira Torres Andréa
Published: January 2023

É objetivo do presente artigo apresentar um debate sobre a constituição dos processos de canonização e de inquisição como instrumentos de exercício de poder eclesiástico que buscava normatizar a vida religiosa, em particular a feminina, a partir do século XIII. Para realizar tal exercício, partimos de dois documentos, o Processo de Canonização de Clara de Assis (1255) e o Processo inquisitorial contra os Devotos e as Devotas de Santa Guglielma (1300). Em outras palavras, nos interessa verificar a forma pela qual a santidade e a heresia são associadas às mulheres nos registros das fontes e debater a construção das categorias de santa e herege a partir dos registros processuais que, em seu tempo, as definiram como tal.
Libros que se salvaron de la quema: la exégesis bíblica y la reivindicación femenina en Valentina Pinelo, la Cuarta Gracia de Lope de Vega
Authors: Tinajero Márquez Laura
Published: January 2023

Siguiendo la tradición literaria femenina que se desarrolla en castellano desde el siglo XV –uno de cuyos máximos exponentes fue Teresa de Cartagena, y posteriormente en el XVII María Jesús de Ágreda, Santa Teresa de Jesús, Gregoria Francisca de Santa Teresa y Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz–, Valentina Pinelo, monja agustina del monasterio de San Leandro de Sevilla, publicó en 1601 una exégesis bíblica y hagiografía en prosa sobre Santa Ana, la madre de la Virgen María, reivindicando el matrilinaje de Jesús de Nazaret. En esa misma obra aseguró que no sólo empezó a escribirla a finales del XVI, sino que también se atrevió con la poesía componiendo un cancionero hoy día perdido y por el que Lope de Vega la bautizó como “la Cuarta Gracia”. Además, recibió la censura de un anónimo, pero su obra finalmente no fue retirada por el Santo Oficio, ni llegó siquiera a ser procesada ni interrogada por ello, como ocurrió en el caso de los procesos contra Teresa de Ávila, María Jesús de Ágreda y Juana Inés de la Cruz. Por tanto, intentaremos en este artículo dilucidar las posibles causas de por qué la obra de Valentina Pinelo no fue finalmente prohibida por la Inquisición.

Production Function and Resource Use Efficiency of Milk Production in Rural Punjab
Authors: Kaur Napinder
Published: January 2023

Aiming to make an empirical assessment of the resource use efficiency in milk production of different milch breeds in rural Punjab, the present study reveals that both green fodder and concentrates in case of buffalo milk production and concentrates alone in case of crossbred cow milk production, have been found as significant factors affecting the milk yield in rural Punjab. However, not even a single input is found as statistically significant for local cow milk production. The marginal value productivity of all inputs is worked out as positive in the case of buffalo and crossbred cow milk production, but negative for local cow milk production. The deviation of marginal value productivity of inputs from its unit price reveals resource use inefficiency in the study.
Study on Economics of Pineapple Cultivation in Manipur, India
Authors: Singh Koijam Johny
Published: January 2023

"The present study was conducted in Manipur which has the highest area and production of pineapple among the North Eastern Hill Region of India. Two hilly districts of Manipur namely Senapati and Churachandpur were selected based on highest area under pineapple. It was found that the pineapple cultivation is economically feasible. It is evident that the cost C3 of pineapple for 4-year period is ` 315620.60 per hectare with a total return of ` 571459.64 per hectare and the overall net return is ` 255839.04 per hectare. The investment in cultivation of pineapple in hilly districts of Manipur is profitable as further indicated by the benefit cost ratio which is 1.71. Therefore, pineapple cultivation could be an important source of livelihood and income of the farmers. It was found that farmers in Manipur faced many problems in the marketing of pineapple. These are lack of proper transportation which ranked first followed by unavailability of nearby market, unavailability of storage facility, low price of the product and lack of processing unit. It is suggested that the early fruit bearing and stress tolerant varieties may be recommended to make pineapple orchard more profitable as there is no return in 1st year of its establishment. Similarly, organic certification of this crop may be initiated either by the government or private agencies as organic cultivation is followed by default in this state which may attract the exporters and consumers and thereby investment in marketing may be enhanced."
Quantification of Linkages within the Prevailing Integrated Farming Systems of Punjab
Authors: Horo Aniketa
Published: January 2023

With the emerging problems owing to mono-cropping of paddy-wheat, diversification and integrated farming systems (IFS) is the need of the hour in Punjab, government of state is making efforts through earmarking budgetary allowances and several remunerative schemes to encourage farmers for its adoption. Hence, this study was taken upto understand the dynamics and the level of integration between the sub-components of widely adopted IFS models of Punjab. More than 80 percent of the farmers adopt the crop + dairy model in the study area therefore this prevalent model was studied as IFS-I model along with its variants of crop + dairy + mushroom (IFS-II) and crop + dairy + beekeeping (IFS-III) models. Leontief’s input-output model (1966) were used to quantify the inter component relationship by considering crop, dairy, mushroom, beekeeping, household, and the market as separate sectors of the farming economy. It was concluded that component enterprises, depended upon each other for input supplies and disposal of output. Forward linkage from crop to dairy enterprise was stronger than backward linkage in all the IFS models and the dairy enterprise was self-sufficient in providing inputs for itself from within the system.
Farmers Acreage Allocation Response in districts of Chhattisgarh Plains Zone: An Acreage Response Analysis of Paddy, Wheat and Gram
Authors: Wasnik Sumit B.
Published: January 2023

The study has been undertaken with the major objective to estimate the acreage allocation decision of paddy, wheat and gram farmers in selected districts (viz., Raipur, Mahasamund, Dhamtari and Durg) of Chhattisgarh plains zone with using 20 years (2000-01 to 2019-20) of secondary data of area and yield of paddy, wheat and gram and the different variables identified viz., lagged relative prices, current season rainfall, area and yield of competing crop maize, wheat and gram. Findings of the study include that the lagged area along with the current year rainfall had significantly contributed more in increasing acreage allocation of farmers of paddy under Raipur and Dhamtari districts. The area under wheat in Dhamtari district had declined, this decline was significantly contributed by lagged relative prices, area and lagged yield under gram. While the acreage of wheat in Durg district had found increased which was contributed more by the significant move with the last year’s absolute area and yield, current season rainfall and lagged relative prices. The lagged area, lagged relative prices, lagged yield and current season rainfall had highly significantly helped to boost the gram in terms of absolute area and had maximum area in Durg compare to other selected district of Chhattisgarh plains. The lagged relative prices, area of wheat and lagged yield of wheat had significant led to decrease area under gram in Raipur as well as in Mahasamund district over the study period. Further, the estimates of short-run and long-run price elasticities with respect to acreage of paddy, wheat and gram indicated the inelastic supply of these crops. Study suggested need for education and training to the farmers in respect of new crop production technology, etc., which will help in bringing about the desired changes in the cropping pattern.
Estimation of Post-harvest Losses and their Management Strategies Adopted by the Vegetable Cultivators
Authors: B.H. Manohar,
Published: January 2023

The present study estimated the post-harvest management of selected vegetables in Karnataka. The study was based on primary data collected for the year 2021-22 from 15 farmers for each crop, in both open and protected conditions and from two major vegetable producing districts of the state. The data pertaining to wholesaler and retailer were collected from 15 wholesaler and 15 retailers from each districts who were involved in marketing of vegetables. Descriptive statistics was the analytical tools adopted for the analysis of the data which includes percentages and averages. The reduction in post-harvest loss in protected cultivation was due to controlled environment in protected condition. Similarly, the post-harvest loss was higher in wholesaler against retailer because the huge quantity handling of vegetables found at wholesaler. Results depicted that the difference in post-harvest loss under open cultivation and protected cultivation are 14.13 kg/q, 6.27 kg/q, 14.64 kg/q and 14.93 kg/q of tomatoes, capsicum, cucumber and french beans, respectively. In between wholesaler and retailer, the difference in post-harvest losses are 4.43 kg/q, 2.47 kg/q, 7.40 kg/q and 2.57 kg/q for tomato, capsicum, cucumber and french beans respectively. Findings shows that the post-harvest management practices followed by farmers are harvesting at proper stage, use of crates for transportation, establishing better storage facilities and processing of mechanically damaged products. Similarly, the post-harvest management practices followed by market intermediaries are cold storage, better transportation facilities, procurement of good quality material, usage of cushioning material and other better management practices. The establishment of small sized cold storage units and employing better transportation facilities led to reduction in post-harvest losses which in turn led to additional returns to farmers and market intermediaries.

Constrictions Encountered by Mushroom Farmers in Haryana: A Study of Sonipat District
Authors: p Pooja
Published: January 2023

Mushroom cultivation is one of the way of upgrading the income of the farmers other than field crops, which eventually increase human resource directly or indirectly and paves the way for self-sustaining business opportunities for unemployed and weaker sections of the society. This study was an attempt to get the response of the respondents related to production, finance, marketing and social constrictions faced by them in mushroom farming in Sonipat district of Haryana. From Sonipat, two blocks i.e. Sonipat and Ganaur were selected purposively and from each block four villages were selected randomly. Further, from each block, sixty respondents were selected randomly. Thus, total one hundred twenty respondents were selected. The structured schedule was developed for data collection. The Study revealed that ‘pests and diseases’ and ‘high perishability of produce’ was the most important production constriction responsible for low economic viability of mushroom production. Whereas, ‘Inadequate support from government’ and ‘difficulty of loan process’ were the major obstacles related to Finance. In case of marketing the constraints like ‘malpractices of middleman’, ‘lack of fixation of support prices’, ‘absence of regulated marketing channel’ and ‘price variation during season and off-season’ were observed by the mushroom farmers in the study area. Similarly, ‘lack of training facilities’ for mushroom cultivation was a major social constraint.
Study on Marketing of Green Chili in Jorhat District of Assam
Authors: Borbaruah Niharika
Published: January 2023

"The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying factors affecting marketing, marketing channels and analysing the marketing cost, margin, price spread, and marketing efficiency of farmers in the marketing of green chilies in Jorhat district of Assam. A sample of 80 farmers was selected using multistage stratified random sampling, and 30 market intermediaries were selected from the study area. Production was kept for home consumption, and the seed was one of the factors that indirectly affected the marketable surplus of green chili, significant at 1 percent. However, transportation costs of green chilies directly affected the markable surplus, significant at 10 percent. Among the two marketing channels identified, total marketing cost was low in channel I (` 124.06 per quintal) as compared to channel II (` 178.04 per quintal), signifying that marketing cost was low if the channel has lesser market intermediaries. The best channel for both producer and consumer was found to be channel I, in which producers receive the maximum share of consumers’ rupee (77.06 percent), and consumers purchase the product at the low price ` 7700 per quintal. Marketing efficiency was found to be higher in channel I (3.36). The major constraint faced by the producers in the marketing of green chili was the low selling price that prevailed during the Covid-19 pandemic in the local and distant markets during the peak harvesting time."

"An investigation was conducted to study the economic analysis of milk production in Southern India. A total of 240 dairy farmers were selected comprising 80 each from the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The study revealed that the average gross maintenance cost of milk production per milch animal per day was higher in crossbred cow (` 234.12), followed by buffalo (` 163.82) and local cow (` 143.54), respectively. The net cost per milch animal per day was observed to be higher in crossbred cow (` 227.94), followed by buffalo (` 159.67) and local cow (` 139.93), respectively. The cost of milk production per litre was higher in local cow (` 33.13), followed by buffalo (` 31.84) and crossbred cow (` 20.99), respectively. The net return per litre was observed to be positive in case of crossbred cow (` 5.67) and buffalo (` 3.30) for all the herd size categories whereas negative net return per litre of milk was observed in case of local cow (` -3.93) for all the herd size categories because of high cost of feed and fodder and also low milk yield."
Growth Trend and Instability in Area, Production and Productivity of Sugarcane in Uttar Pradesh: An Overview
Authors: Singh Shyam Prakash
Published: January 2023

The present study was conducted to analyze the growth rates and instability in the area, production, and productivity of sugarcane in Uttar Pradesh for the last 71 years from 1950-51 to 2020-21. A Semi-log regression model was used to assess the growth rates and trend, while instability was determined by an adjusted coefficient of variation and the Cuddy Della Vella Instability Index. The results of the growth analysis revealed that area, production and productivity accounted to be positive and statistically significant, whereas the highest growth rate was registered for sugarcane production i.e. 2.25 percent per annum rather than area (1.19% per annum) and productivity (1.05% per annum). In case of instability for the entire study period, the area, production and productivity of this crop accounted to be 24.01, 44.82 and 23.64 percent respectively. It shows that the variation in sugarcane production is higher compared with crop acreage and productivity. It implies that farmers should need to pay adequate attention to adopting improved production technologies and advanced management to address the problems of fluctuation in sugarcane production. Moreover, the higher stability of productivity and area implies a low risk in the supply of raw sugarcane to the sugar industries.

Bariatric surgery (CB) is the most successful method for weight loss in patients with Grade III obesity and morbidities. However, patients submitted to CB generally do not reach the protein intake recommendation. Thus, protein supplements could minimize muscle mass loss, preventing protein malnutrition. Whey protein has a high biological value, with a high content of branched-chain amino acids that stimulate protein synthesis and reduce the loss of muscle mass seen in low-calorie diets. Thus, whey protein would contribute to maintaining body composition and preventing muscle loss. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of 8-week whey protein supplementation in female patients submitted to CB, regarding metabolic and nutritional status. After the eight weeks of the experiment, there was an increase in lean Mass and a reduction of fat Mass and fat percentage in the Whey group compared with the initial time, a result not seen in the control group. There was no difference in biochemical parameters, except for the increased fasting glucose in the Malto group that was prevented in the Whey group. We conclude that whey protein supplementation could reduce the loss of fat-free Mass and increase the body fat Mass regardless of changes BMI evolution in the later postoperative period of bariatric surgery, a period of weight loss is minimized, and weight reacquisition occurs more frequently.

Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) commonly known as ”tomato leafminer” or ”South American tomato moth” is the main pest in tomato crops in greenhouses, that can cause economic losses of up to 80-100%, if appropriate control measures are not taken. The experience was carried out during 2 years (2020-2021), between July and September, in greenhouse conditions (second cycle) in Vărăști village (Giurgiu county). The pest population was dynamically monitored by placing pheromone traps in the tomato crops in the high plastic tunnels, the average of the captured adults being 3367.5. In both years, the climatic conditions were favorable for the appearance and evolution of the pest attack. To prevent the spread of the attack, chemical treatments were applied at intervals of 7-10 days. In 2021, the yield obtained was with 4.76% higher than in 2020.

On tropical hillsides, torrential rains cause surface runoff that removes soil particles, nutrients and agro-inputs. This process limits soil fertility, agrosystem productivity and the rural economy. A descriptive study was conducted on a hillside in Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico, to study water runoff and its runoff coefficients in four modalities of the “milpa intercropped with fruit trees” (MIAF) system, traditional and zero tillage, under rainfed conditions. The systems were established with a systematic design of treatments, without repetitions, between 2003 and 2011: 1) Milpa intercropped in chicozapote (Manilkara zapota), with sediment filter and minimum tillage (MIAF-CH-CF-LM); 2) Milpa intercropped with Persian lemon (Citrus x latifolia), with sediment filter and minimum tillage (MIAF-L-CF-LM); 3) Milpa intercropped in carambolo (Averrhoa carambola), with sediment filter and minimum tillage (MIAF-C-CF-LM); 4) Milpa intercropped in carambolo, without sediment filter and zero tillage (MIAF-C-SF-L0); 5) Zero tillage with crop residue distribution over the surface (Lo); and 6) Minimum tillage with crop residue burning and tracking (LM-QR). From August 2016 to February 2018, a 50 m2 runoff lot was installed in each system. Surface runoff was measured every 24 h; runoff sheet and runoff coefficient. The MIAF.system reduced surface runoff by 46.13 % with respect to that obtained in LM-QR. The MIAF systems with sediment filter and zero tillage without filter presented similar runoff and runoff coefficient values. The MIAF-CH-CF-LM system recorded the lowest runoff value among systems with tillage and filter. The L0 system showed the lowest volume and runoff coefficient.

Avaliação da utilização do concreto de pós reativos reforçado com fibras de aço em vigas de concreto armado
Authors:   , Vasconcellos Fabrício Cota
Published: January 2023

Para controlar o avanço de manifestações patológicas em elementos de concreto armado, são realizadas intervenções, como recuperação e reforço, para reestabelecer o desempenho da estrutura. Neste cenário, o Concreto de Pós Reativos (CPR) surge como uma opção viável a ser utilizado com esse propósito. O CPR é um material caracterizado pela sua granulometria fina e elevada resistência mecânica, boa durabilidade e tenacidade. Sendo assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo a avaliação do desempenho do CPR com adição de fibras de aço como material de reforço de uma viga de concreto armado (CC), na região onde predominam os esforços de flexão. Para isso, foram produzidas vigas de CC de dimensões reduzidas, solicitadas até o Estado Limite de Serviço e, posteriormente, reforçadas com um encamisamento de CPR, com adição de fibras na região de flexão pura. Previamente a esse estudo, foram confeccionados corpos de prova prismáticos de CPR variando-se a proporção das fibras em 0%, 6%, 10% e 14%, com o intuito de encontrar uma dosagem que melhor aprimorasse o desempenho à flexão do material, para ser utilizada no modelo de reforço. Observou-se que o aumento da dosagem de fibras não influenciou na resistência à flexão do CPR ao nível de significância de 5%, porém aumentou sua ductilidade, evitando a ruptura brusca e explosiva. Os resultados dos ensaios de flexão nas vigas reforçadas indicaram um aumento da rigidez dos elementos reforçados durante o carregamento, obtendo-se, ao menos, uma recuperação completa da resistência original das vigas de classe C30, e um ganho de resistência de até 40% para vigas de classe C20. Além disso, foi constatada uma boa aderência entre o CPR e o substrato de CC até cerca de 80% da carga última da viga, sendo observado o desplacamento da camada de reforço, antes do colapso do elemento. Dessa maneira, concluiu-se que a utilização do CPR como material de reparo e reforço de vigas de concreto armado foi eficaz. O material contribuiu para o aumento da rigidez e da resistência à flexão do elemento reforçado, além de reduzir a flecha no centro do vão durante o carregamento. Palavras-chave: concreto de pós reativos, reparo, reforço, flexão, fibras de aço.

Background: The specific etiology of spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains elusive. Both can present acutely without antecedent signs and can be difficult to differentiate. Neonatal nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) counts are part of the routine admission and serial CBCs drawn on premature neonates. Elevated NRBC counts could represent relative intrauterine hypoxemia, a possible risk factor for the development of SIP or NEC.
Methods: We compared premature neonates with SIP to premature neonates with NEC and controls, matched gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW). Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-Square, or Fisher's exact tests and univariate and multivariate nominal logistic regression models were used to estimate the association of baseline NRBC. Median times to SIP and NEC were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. All analyses were performed with SAS 9.4.
Results: Male sex (72.5%), lower GA [Median (Q1, Q3): 25.1 (23.8, 28)], and lower BW [Median (Q1, Q3): 690 g (585, 1072)] had the highest incidence of SIP compared to NEC or controls. Increased baseline NRBC was associated with lower odds of developing NEC compared to controls [Median (Q1, Q3): 9 (5, 29) vs 19 (10, 51); OR (CI) 0.70 (0.55, 0.89), p-value = 0.0033]. Increased baseline NRBC was associated with higher odds of developing SIP compared to NEC [Median (Q1, Q3): 9 (5, 29) vs 19 (10, 51); OR (CI) 1.61 (1.18, 2.20) p-value = 0.0027]. There were no significant differences between intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), maternal hypertension, chorioamnionitis, multiple births, or depressed APGAR scores in all three groups. NRBC for SIP neonates remained significantly higher at the day of life (DOL) 1-3 compared to other groups [Median (Q1, Q3): 23 (6, 93), p-value = 0.0020]. The percentage of patients with NRBC >4, remained elevated for patients with SIP as late as week three (p = 0.0023).
Conclusion: ELBW, male sex, and elevated baseline NRBC were significantly associated with the risk of developing SIP compared to NEC or controls. NRBC remained significantly elevated on DOL 1-3, compared to NEC or controls. Between the groups, there were no significant differences in perinatal stressors.
