Published: July 2023

Diversas técnicas cognitivo-conductuales buscan reestructurar pensamientos que intrusivamente irrumpen en el foco atencional de sujetos que padecen problemas de estrés y ansiedad. Las técnicas de reestructuración cognitiva de Beck, la desensibilización sistemática de Wolpe, el uso de EMDR de Shapiro y las más recientes intervenciones de imagery rescripting, han mostrado diversos grados de eficacia, cada una abordando el problema con intervenciones propuestas desde las limitaciones del propio marco teórico. El presente estudio se basa en la aplicación de la técnica PASER (Procesamiento Asistido de Situaciones Estresantes Recientes) la cual integra intervenciones de los tratamientos mencionados de una forma novedosa y en tiempos muy breves.  Dos sujetos adultos con Trastorno de Dependencia de la Personalidad fueron tratados individualmente en tres sesiones de PASER para reprocesar escenas altamente estresantes. Se evaluó el grado de perturbación emocional con el Inventario APPEM en seis fases de un diseño de sujeto único de reversión (ABABAB). Se complementó el estudio con una entrevista en profundidad. Se observó una reducción muy notoria de los niveles de perturbación emocional, reactividad ansiosa predominantemente cognitiva y fisiológica en uno de los casos y resultados modestos en el otro. Se requieren nuevas investigaciones para comprender los diferentes grados de eficacia.

The study was conducted on Agro-industrial farm of Brimbo, property of S.C.B, located in the Agneby-Tiassa region. The study aimed to contribute to the sustainable production of dessert bananas in Côte d’Ivoire through the development of new technical itineraries. The Grand Nain and Williams cultivars were planted in a block design with total randomisation, comprising eight treatments. During plant growth, the effect of density and cultivar on phytopathological parameters of Black Leaf Streak Disease and on growth and production parameters of the banana plant were evaluated. The results showed that planting density influenced the rank of YLS in both cultivars with the highest mean values at 1550 ; 1600 ; 1650 and 1700 plants/ha, with 7.0 ; 7.1 ; 7.0 ; 7.2 for Grand Nain and 7.2 ; 7.0 ; 7.1 ; 7.1 for Williams respectively. The height of the banana plants ranged from 216.9 to 227.1 cm in Grand Nain and from 228.6 to 237.0 cm in Williams. A significant difference was observed for the pseudotruncular circumference with values between 67.5 and 71.5 cm in the cultivar Grand Nain and between 70.6 and 75.5 cm in the cultivar Williams. NLF was significantly influenced by density and cultivar. The best bunch weights were obtained at 1900 plants/ha for Grand Nain and 22.6 kg for Williams at 1550 plants/ha. This study showed that the removal of immature lesion-bearing areas combined with planting density had varying effects on Black Leaf Streak Disease status, growth and productivity of banana plants of the Grand Nain and Williams cultivars.

Obesity is a medical problem that increases the risk of other diseases and health problems known as complications of obesity. In view of the side effects that resulted from the use of drug therapy and surgical interventions in the treatment of obesity, some of which posed a threat to health, which called for the search for safe and alternative alternative/natural methods. Therefore, the current study was conducted with the aim of exploring the effect of dietary intervention using marine algae (Sargassum subrepandum) on obesity and its complications in experimental rats. Sargassum subrepandum powder (SSP) showed a high nutritional composition through its high of essential nutrients (carbohydrates, fiber, protein and ash), minerals (K, Na, Ca, Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn) and vitamins (A, C, B2, B3, B9, E). It also contains many of the following bioactive constituents: polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, tannins, terpenoids, triterpenoids, polysaccharides, anthocyanin’s and kaempherol, which resulted in high antioxidant activity. On the other side, biological experiment indicated that rats of the model obese group recorded 335.01 g i.e. increased by the rate of 115.60% when compared to the base line. Intervention with SSP by 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0% lead to significant (p≤0.05) decreasing on body weight of the model obese rats which recorded 108.06, 94.46, 77.28 and 73.18 %, respectively when compared to the base line. Also, SSP was effective in protecting against obese complications including inhibit liver disorders through liver serum enzymes-lowering activity, improvement of the serum antioxidant status (increase the glutathione fractions and decrease the formation of malonaldehyde and reactive oxygen species). The histological examinations of the heart and adipose tissue confirmed these results. In conclusion, we recommended SSP by a concentration up to 6% to be included in daily diets, drinks and food supplementation of normal and obese people.

Authors: N U
Published: July 2023

Mitochondrial coexistence in eukaryotic cells is an important theme in biology, and its process and relationship with the subsequent evolutionary history of life continue to be studied. The roles and functions of plants remain unknown and continue to be studied. Mammals have complex organs and well-developed immune systems, and reproduce by a specialized method called embryogenesis. In this study, we propose several novel hypotheses to explain the evolutionary process and current state of these topics. In Chapter 1, we propose several hypotheses regarding the advantages gained by mitochondria through their symbiosis within eukaryotic cells. Then, we discuss the relationship between the sharing of functions between mitochondria and multicellular organisms in the symbiosis of mitochondria within eukaryotic cells. In Chapter 2, we propose several hypotheses regarding the roles of plants in the environment, ecosystems, and strategies for species expansion are summarized. In Chapter 3, we propose several hypotheses regarding the ecology of mammals and the advantages of reproduction by embryogenesis are reviewed.
STRyper: an open source macOS application for microsatellite genotyping
Authors: Peccoud Jean
Published: July 2023

In the context of population genetics, microsatellite markers analyzed by capillary sequencing remain useful tools for quick genotyping and low-cost studies. This contrasts with the lack of a free application to analyze chromatograms for microsatellite genotyping that is designed for population geneticists. To fill this gap, I have developed STRyper, a macOS application whose source code is published under the General Public License. STRyper only uses macOS libraries, making it very lightweight, responsive, and behaving like a modern application. Its three-pane window enables easy management, searching and viewing of chromatograms imported from .fsa and. hid files, the creation of size standards and of microsatellite marker panels (including bins). The application has unique features allowing DNA ladder and genotype correction by drag-and-drop, and the management of variations in electrophoretic conditions. STRyper is available at https://github.com/jeanlain/STRyper.

Authors: Arraichi Amale , GHOURDOU Tayeb
Published: July 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted various aspects of human life, including the dynamics of intimate relationships. In particular, the lockdown and subsequent restrictions have amplified stresses in relationships, triggering a surge in marriage breakdown worldwide. This study aimed to explore the impact of the pandemic on divorce rates in England- London in particular, after the lockdown measures were lifted. Using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, data were collected from divorced people, a literature review and online surveys completed by divorcing individuals or those considering it. The results showed a noticeable increase in divorce cases after the lockdown measures were eased, with many attributing the strain of the pandemic on their relationships as the primary reason for the divorce. Consequently, it is recommended that policymakers and professionals in the legal and mental health sectors recognise these impacts to better understand how to support couples through periods of crises, such as pandemics. The paper concludes by emphasising that more research is needed to understand the long-term effects of the pandemic on relationships in the post-COVID world.

An automated approach to identifying offenders in Sri Lanka would be better than the current system. Obtaining information from eyewitnesses is one of the less reliable approaches and procedures still in use today. Automated criminal identification has the ability to save lives, notwithstanding Sri Lankan culture's lack of awareness of the issue. Using cutting-edge technology like biometrics to finish this task would be the most accurate strategy. The most notable outcomes will be obtained by applying fingerprint and face recognition as biometric techniques. The main responsibilities will be image optimization and criminality. CCTV footage may be used to identify a person's fingerprint, identify a person's face, and identify crimes involving weapons. Additionally, we unveil a notification system and condense the police report to Additionally, to make it simpler for police officers to understand the essential points of the crime, we develop a notification system and condense the police report. Additionally, if an incident involving a weapon is detected, an automated notice of the crime with all the relevant facts is sent to the closest police station. The summarization of the police report is what makes this the most original. In order to improve the efficacy of the overall image, the system will quickly and precisely identify the full crime scene, identify, and recognize the suspects using their faces and fingerprints, and detect firearms. This study provides a novel approach for crime prediction based on real-world data, and criminality incorporation. A crime or occurrence should be reported to the appropriate agencies, and the suggested web application should be improved further to offer a workable channel of communication.

Published: July 2023

Background

Despite recent advances in the treatment of aggressive lymphomas, a significant fraction of patients still succumbs to their disease. Thus, novel therapies are urgently needed. As the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab and the CD19-targeting antibody tafasitamab share distinct modes of actions, we investigated if dual-targeting of aggressive lymphoma B-cells by combining rituximab and tafasitamab might increase cytotoxic effects.

Methods

Antibody single and combination efficacy was determined investigating different modes of action including direct cytotoxicity, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) in in vitro and in vivo models of aggressive B-cell lymphoma comprising diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt lymphoma (BL).

Results

Three different sensitivity profiles to antibody monotherapy or combination treatment were observed in in vitro models: while 1/11 cell lines was primarily sensitive to tafasitamab and 2/11 to rituximab, the combination resulted in enhanced cell death in 8/11 cell lines in at least one mode of action. Treatment with either antibody or the combination resulted in decreased expression of the oncogenic transcription factor MYC and inhibition of AKT signaling, which mirrored the cell line-specific sensitivities to direct cytotoxicity. At last, the combination resulted in a synergistic survival benefit in a PBMC-humanized Ramos NOD/SCID mouse model.

Conclusion

This study demonstrates that the combination of tafasitamab and rituximab improves efficacy compared to single-agent treatments in models of aggressive B-cell lymphoma in vitro and in vivo.

For social protection policies to be inclusive they must address the extra costs that people with disabilities incur. Studies show that these costs are highly significant and if not taken into account the economic wellbeing of people with disabilities is underestimated. Additionally, disability costs vary significantly by the type and degree of disability. To align the structure of social protection programs with how costs are incurred to promote equal participation requires estimating those costs. The Goods and Services Required approach, it is argued, is better than the often used Standard of Living Approach, and has implications for policy design.
The Effect of Imidacloprid on the Volatile Organic Compound Profile of Strawberries: New Insights from Flavoromics

Organic agriculture is of great socioeconomic significance because it can promote the nutritional quality of horticultural crops and is environmentally friendly. However, owing to the lack of techniques for studying complex aroma-related chemical profiles, limited information is available on the influence of organic practices on the flavor quality of strawberries, one of the primary factors driving consumer preferences. Here, two-dimensional gas chromatography combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOF-MS) and flavoromics analysis was employed to investigate the profiles and differences in the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of strawberries under organic (without imidacloprid) and conventional (with imidacloprid) agricultural practices. A total of 1164 VOCs, representing 23 chemical classes (e.g., aldehydes, terpenes, and furanone compounds), were detected, which is the highest number of VOCs that have ever been detected in strawberries. The sensory evaluation results indicated that there was a notable influence of imidacloprid (IMI) on the aroma of the strawberries. Principal component analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis results suggested that the composition of volatile compounds significantly differed in the present study between the IMI-treated and non-IMI-treated groups. Furthermore, the flavor-related indicators of 25 key contributors to the differences between the two treatment groups suggested that VOC profiles can be considered an indicator for distinguishing between strawberries from different agricultural practices. Flavoromics can provide new insights into the quality of strawberries from different agricultural practices.

Published: July 2023

Encouraging members of the public to get engaged in local decision-making is a key role of Extension educators. The study reported here explores whether local context influences which individuals choose to attend public meetings about the community and the environment. The study surveyed meeting attendees and non-meeting attendees in three contextually different counties in Northern Indiana. Findings are that determinants of participation are different in all three of these counties, suggesting that context is much more important in explaining participation than was earlier thought. Therefore, it is critically important that Extension personnel be able to understand the local context.

Authors: Burgus Shari , Schwab Charles , Shelley Mack
Published: July 2023

Community coalitions can help national organizations meet their objectives. Farm Safety 4 Just Kids depends on coalitions of local people to deliver farm safety and health educational programs to children and their families. These coalitions are called chapters. An evaluation was developed to identify individual coalition's strengths and weaknesses. Ten FS4JK chapter locations conducted a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) and community focus groups to identify what strategies could be incorporated to improve each coalition's functionality. The findings will help strengthen program delivery, which will guide the national organization toward a more effective support system.

Published: July 2023

Team leadership by Extension personnel in coordinating regulatory efforts, research, and farmer education culminated in rapid suppression of the cereal leaf beetle pest in the West. The Western Cereal Leaf Beetle Team, consisting of 37 federal, state, and university personnel from seven states and two Canadian Provinces, tracked the pest, assessed its economic impact, and implemented a biological control program. They were successful largely due to the simultaneous education of growers on biological control and pesticide use. Program success followed Extension's commitment to an integrated approach, communication, and rapid dissemination of results between team members and the grower community.

Extension Newsletters and Individual Counseling: Equally Effective in Changing Worksite Wellness Participants Dietary Intakes
Authors: Chipman Kristi , Litchfield Ruth
Published: July 2023

The Affordable Care Act provides impetus for Extension efforts in worksite wellness. The study reported here examined the influence of two worksite wellness interventions, newsletters and individual counseling. Surveys examined dietary and physical activity behaviors of participants pre- and post-intervention (N=157). Descriptive statistics, paired samples t-tests, and repeated measures ANOVA identified change in nutrient intakes; McNemar's Test evaluated physical activity participation. Both interventions significantly increased fruit/vegetable servings, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, and dietary fiber while decreasing total fat, saturated fat, percent fat, and dietary cholesterol. There is opportunity for Extension in worksite wellness programming and research to strengthen evidence-based practice.
In Vermont, Se Habla Español: Using Occupational Spanish to Help Dairy Farmers Manage a Changing Workforce
Authors: Baker Daniel , Chappelle David
Published: July 2023

Hispanic workers are an important part of the agricultural labor force in the United States. In the past decade the geographical range of this largely Spanish-speaking workforce has expanded into areas, such as the state of Vermont, where few farmers speak Spanish. In order to safely and productively manage these new workers, methods to teach farmers how to communicate with this changing labor force are needed. This article reports on the use of an intensive occupational Spanish program designed to efficiently improve communication between Vermont dairy farmers and their Hispanic workers.

Authors: Bradley Carl
Published: July 2023

Foliar fungicide use on corn in Illinois has increased drastically beginning in 2007. In an effort to better understand the factors considered in corn fungicide application decisions, attendees of a series of meetings in Illinois were surveyed. Results indicate that disease pressure was the most important factor considered by the greatest percentage of survey respondents (38%). Factors not related to disease or disease risk were considered the most important factor for 23% of the respondents. These results indicate that additional Extension programming is needed to teach the importance of considering disease and disease risk when making a fungicide decision.
