Effectiveness of Agricultural Extension Programs on Crop Productivity in India
Authors: Raj Vihaan
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of agricultural extension programs on crop productivity in India.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Agricultural extension programs in India have significantly enhanced crop productivity by providing farmers with access to modern techniques and technologies. Studies indicate that these programs have effectively increased yields by facilitating better pest management, improved seed quality, and efficient water use. However, the effectiveness varies widely depending on the region and the specific crops involved, with some areas showing much greater improvement than others.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Diffusion of innovations theory, theory of planned behavior (TPB) & human capital theory may be used to anchor future studies on analyze effectiveness of agricultural extension programs on crop productivity in India. Practically, these recommendations aim to transform the implementation of agricultural extension programs by emphasizing the role of extension agents as both educators and facilitators of change, enhancing their training in both agricultural techniques and effective communication skills. Policies promoting the legal and financial backing for farmer cooperatives and requiring the incorporation of robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks in extension programs are crucial.

Authors: Shalash Mona Jabbar
Published: May 2024

This research paper examines the field of language assessment and evaluation. We shall primarily concentrate on the sophisticated techniques used in the specialized domain of English instruction. With the growing need for enhanced language training, educators are striving to enhance assessment techniques in order to precisely gauge language competency and provide focused instructional interventions. We acknowledge that the process of acquiring language is always evolving. Therefore, our study advocates for the use of adaptable and varied evaluation techniques that surpass conventional approaches. We are exploring the use of technology, artificial intelligence, and data analytics to develop customized assessment tools. These technologies would enable the assessment of individual student performance and provide targeted support for their unique learning requirements. Furthermore, the research explores the use of performance-based evaluations and proposes that instructors have to design activities that emulate authentic language scenarios. This strategy enhances the credibility of evaluations and provides vital insights into a learner's practical language application abilities. We use case studies and practical examples to demonstrate the effective implementation of these advanced tactics in various specialized English teaching contexts.

Hybrid Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors (HPNST) were first included in the 4th edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Central Nervous System in 2016. These tumors are a combination of schwannoma and neurofibroma, and are typically found in the limbs, trunk, and soft tissues. In this case report, we present a rare intracranial localization of neurofibroma/schwannoma with histological examination. Our patient was a 36-year-old man without any tumor genetic syndromes. The tumor measured 1.6 × 1.1 cm and was completely excised. The pathology report showed no significant nuclear atypia, mitotic activity, or necrosis. At the time of writing, the patient is alive and well with no recurrence. It is important to note that HPNSTs are usually benign tumors, but can occur in various locations, including the intracranial region. Further studies with a larger number of cases are needed to determine the exact pathogenetic basis of these tumors.

Published: May 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic that began in 2020 has been widely described as an unprecedented occurrence that could not be anticipated. The reality of overwhelmed emergency rooms and hospitals was reported as perhaps tragic but certainly unexpected. So, too, were the number of patients who while recovered suffered long term respiratory and neurological conditions. And, when a vaccine was introduced, there was surprise at the number of persons who rejected it, and the science that had produced it. In fact, however, none of this was unprecedented. The history of pandemic occurrences is replete with antecedents that could have but were not employed both in planning for this viral event and as guidance during its virulent years. That history is briefly reviewed here as is the identification of what was unique in practitioner and public response to the course of the respiratory virus.

Published: May 2024

Systemic reactions to insect sting can be life-threatening. Life-threatening systemic reactions to insect sting are estimated to occur in 0.4% to 0.8 % of children and in 3 % of adults. Hymenoptera stings that includes Apoidea (bees), Vespoidea (wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets), and Formicidae (ants) cause more deaths than other insects all over the world. Hymenoptera venom include mixtures of numerous relevant allergens .The diagnosis of venom allergy is based on both of clinical history and positive skin test response, and/or specific immunoglobulin E antibodies. Allergic reactions may develop after stinging by hymenoptera venom. It is ranging from local up to severe systemic reactions and even fatal anaphylaxis. The treatment of large local reactions is oral antihistamines and corticosteroid therapy. Patients with any signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis should immediately receive epinephrine intramuscularly, emergency medical attention and treatment. After acute treatment of a sting reaction, patients should be given a prescription for an epinephrine autoinjector. Patients with experiences of systemic reactions after hymenoptera venom sting with positive specific IgE should receive venom immunotherapy. Venom immunotherapy is the only causal treatment to prevent further systemic sting reactions. The protective rate of venom immunotherapy is reported 98% in patients with had venom anaphylaxis history.

Corn kernel breakage is an important cause of corn losses. Beginning at harvest, corn kernels are broken by collisions with farm machinery and equipment, drying induces increased kernel breakage susceptibility, and equipment transfers and grain loading generate collisions between corn kernels and with equipment, increasing the amount of broken kernels. Meanwhile, broken kernels increase the risk of insect damage, mold and mildew, as well as aggravate segregation during warehousing, which is detrimental to the safety and quality of corn storage. The causes of corn kernel breakage from harvest to storage are summarized, the water content is a key factor in the post-production quality and quantity of corn, the research results on kernel breakage in recent years are summarized, and suggestions are made for the research related to the reduction of corn kernel breakage rate.

Arsenic is a metal with strong impact on the aquatic environment but its effects on marine fish immunity is little known. In this study, we have evaluated the regulation in the expression of genes encoding important acute-phase proteins (ceruloplasmin, transferrin and vitellogenin), antimicrobial peptides (b-defensin, hepcidin and histone 2B) and apoptosis (caspases 3, 8 and 9) in the skin, liver and head-kidney (HK) of the marine gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) after waterborne As acute exposure for 2 or 10 days. Ceruloplasmin and vitellogenin transcription was significantly increased at 2 days on skin whilst the transferrin gene was down-regulated in HK and skin after 2 and 10 days, respectively. Concerning the antimicrobial peptides, b-defensin and hepcidin were firstly up-regulated in the HK and later they were up-regulated in the skin as well as the histone 2B gene. Finally, apoptosis was induced in all the tissues after As-exposure as indicated by the up-regulation of caspase genes. The data obtained provide an approach for elucidating the different molecular mechanisms induced by arsenic toxicity in marine fish.

Abrikossoff’s granular cell tumour is rare, developing between the ages of 20 and 60, with a female predominance, ubiquitous location and a predilection for the mucosa of the ENT and oral cavity. We report here the case of an Abrikossoff’s tumor localized on the inner side of the right thigh. Usually benign and single but can be malignant and multifocal. The pathogenesis has long been debated but recent studies favour a Schwannian origin confirmed by immunohistochemical study. The treatment of granular cell tumours is surgical, allowing a diagnosis of certainty by anatomical-pathological examination of the excisional piece. The outcome is often favourable if complete surgical resection is performed.

We present the case of a 74 year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and established osteoporosis who initially presented with increasing pain and disability of the shoulders. Investigations showed severe rotator cuff disease. This was treated conservatively with physiotherapy and corticosteroid injection into both joints with good pain relief but no improvement in function. She subsequently presented with increasing posterior thoracic pain with plain films reporting no evidence of rib fracture. Bone scintigraphy showed severe rotator cuff disease and degenerative joint disease at multiple sites. The single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/ x-ray Computed Tomography (CT) showed bilateral scapula spine fractures of long standing with a probable non-union on the left side. These fractures are rare and difficult to treat when associated with rotator cuff disease.

Can Phase Change Materials Clothing be worn to Avoid Viral Thermal Fever Complications? A Numerical Study
Authors:   Department of Physics, LPMMAT Laboratory,Hassan II University of Casablanca,  Morocco, Faraji Mustapha
Published: May 2024

This paper is concerned about the cooling ability of phase change materials (PCM) cold clothing (uniform suit) wearied to a body subject to thermal viral fever. These PCM integrated cloths perform the action of either absorbing or releasing heat to keep the body in safe thermal conditions. In order to investigate the performances of PCM suit in the control of viral thermal fever evolution, the transient thermal balance, taking into account the sensible energy storage in the body coupled with the melting process within the PCM clothing, is developed using the dynamic two-nodes human body thermoregulation model. The enthalpy method is used for the energy equation in the PCM. The cooling capabilities of six different PCM suits (Tmelt= 14.4, 21, 23, 26.6, 29 and 32°C) were tested for a body suffering from high metabolic rate due to rigorous thermal viral fever with core temperature above 41.1°C. The results showed that the convenient PCM clothing reduces the core temperature from Hyperpyrexia to Moderate grade fever during four hours. When no effective therapy lysis was prescript, the fever intensify to High-grade fever due to the complete melting of the PCMon the following hours nevertheless, the heating effects of fever is lasted about 6 hours. The PCM cloths contribute to deep cooling of the skin and the body rejects more heat than the case of normal suit. Moreover, water loss due to sweating is reduced by about 10 % and 1.5 % during the two first and fifth hours, respectively, compared with the case of normal cloths. Besides, the results showed that the PCM uniform with higher latent heat of fusion had a greater and longer cooling effect giving additional time scheme to prescribe suitable fever therapy.

Authors: Quintana-Hernández Daniel , Fajardo-Peña Yanisbell
Published: May 2024

Introducción: La displasia craneofrontonasal (DCFN), es un trastorno malformativo poco frecuente que afecta fundamentalmente los ojos, la nariz y la frente. De todos ellos, el hipertelorismo es el componente principal e invariable. Ocurre esporádicamente en la mayoría de los casos. En la literatura se han informado sólo unos pocos casos diagnosticados antes del nacimiento. Objetivo: Describir un caso diagnosticado prenatalmente de displasia craneofrontonasal ligada al cromosoma X. Presentación de caso: Gestante de 21 años con evaluación inicial de riesgo genético incrementado de enfermedad hereditaria por antecedente personal y familiar de DCFN. Con 24 semanas de embarazo se realiza ecografía en el Centro Provincial de Genética Médica de Mayabeque- Cuba, consulta de confirmaciones que describió anomalías faciales en feto femenino con hipertelorismo, puente nasal amplio y boca entreabierta mantenida durante todo el estudio. No se reportaron hendiduras faciales ni otros defectos asociados. Se ofreció asesoramiento genético. Atendiendo a los antecedentes obtenidos, la valoración del árbol genealógico confeccionado y los hallazgos ecográficos reportados se concluyó que podía corresponder con un feto afectado por DCFN. La pareja solicitó la terminación voluntaria del embarazo. La necropsia fetal confirmó el diagnóstico de DCFN. Conclusiones: Para realizar el diagnóstico prenatal de DCFN, el fenotipado ecográfico fetal, el análisis de la historia familiar y de los hallazgos anatomopatológicos son la clave de un asesoramiento genético personalizado que permita a la pareja la opción reproductiva que considere más apropiada.

Introduction: The level of breast cancer awareness among female may vary depending on their level of health literacy.
Aim: It was aimed to investigate the relationship between breast cancer awareness and health literacy among female textile workers.
Method: This study was a cross-sectional study. The study population consisted of female employed as workers in a textile company. The sample included 360 female workers as participants. The Information Form, the Breast Cancer Awareness Scale, and the Health Literacy Scale are the data collection instruments used in the study. Independent samples t-test, ANOVA, and regression analyses were used to evaluate the data.
Results: The results were that 73.6% of the participants did not perform regular breast self-examination, and 55.3% had information on early diagnosis and treatment. Signifiant positive correlations were observed between women's breast cancer awareness and the functional (r = 0.135; p = 0.011), interactive (r = 0.145; p = 0.006), and critical (r = 0.156; p = 0.003) sub-scales of health literacy. According regression analysis to the established model, an increase in health literacy scores corresponded to increased breast cancer awareness, explaining 3.9% of the variation.
Conclusion: It was revealed that as the health literacy of working female increases, breast cancer awareness will increase. Therefore, the focus should be on supporting the health literacy of women in the risk group, reaching more women in collective institutions and breast cancer awareness activities.

In an increasingly interconnected world, ensuring personal safety remains a paramount concern. This research paper explores the design and implementation of a website dedicated to safety purposes, integrating online chatting and SOS message generation functionalities. The website offers two distinct login options: one for the individual seeking safety measures (self), and another for their designated guardian. When an SOS message is triggered, it is promptly sent as a notification to the guardian’s mobile device, providing immediate assistance. Additionally, the guardian has the capability to track the live location of the individual through an interactive map feature. In instances where the individual’s location services are disabled, the last known active location is relayed to the guardian along with a notification. Through a comprehensive examination of the website’s architecture, features, and implementation, this research aims to provide insights into leveraging digital platforms for enhancing personal safety and emergency response mechanisms

Published: May 2024

Diante de um cenário em que as plataformas digitais são palco de propagação de conteúdo danoso, bem como que seu modelo de negócio promove a geração de lucro a partir de publicações de usuários, emerge o debate sobre uma nova responsabilização de provedores de aplicação. Dessa forma, o trabalho objetiva estudar a proposta de autorregulação regulada presente no Projeto de Lei de Liberdade, Responsabilidade e Transparência na Internet, questionando: o modelo da autorregulação regulada é suficiente para conter o problema da propagação de conteúdo nocivo nas plataformas? Pela abordagem hipotético-dedutiva e pelos métodos de procedimento funcionalista e comparativo, o artigo propõe-se a compreender a dinâmica que ocorre nas plataformas e realiza uma comparação entre as recomendações feitas pelo Comitê Gestor da Internet no Brasil e o Projeto de Lei, a fim de compreender se os problemas podem ser endereçados pela previsão legal, bem como se as diretrizes do CGI foram observadas - tudo a partir das técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Conclui-se que o modelo de autorregulação regulada é parcialmente suficiente para responder à propagação do conteúdo nocivo e que o Projeto de Lei não enfrenta questões importantes, bem como, em outros aspectos, pouco acrescentou do que já havia previsão legal. Existem, ainda, discrepâncias quanto ao entendimento do CGI.br e o texto final do Projeto de Lei e, algumas indicações estabelecidas pelo Comitê inicialmente atendidas pelo projeto, foram retiradas após debate parlamentar.
