El cambio de los cultivares tradicionales de palma Elaeis guineensis y dura por pisifera (DxP) a los cultivares del híbrido interespecífico OxG se debe a una res puesta de los palmicultores para contrarrestar la enfermedad de la pudrición del cogollo (PC). Esta, a la fecha, ha arrasado más de 70.000 ha de E. guineensis en toda Colombia. A diferencia de los cultivares de palma DxP, a las palmas del híbrido OxG se les debe hacer polinización manual o se les aplica un regulador de crecimiento, lo que causa, principalmente, disminución o ausencia total del contenido de nuez en los frutos. El procesamiento de los racimos de fruta fresca (RFF) provenientes de cultivos de palma de aceite con cultivares de híbridos interespecíficos OxG en las plantas de beneficio, con regulador de crecimiento y sin este, requiere de la adaptación del proceso de extracción de aceite convencional con respecto a los cambios evidenciados en la estructura de los racimos, en términos de conformación y composición. Las características morfológicas de los RFF provenientes del híbrido OxG generan un cambio en la forma del procesamiento del fruto, desde la recepción en tolva, la extracción del aceite hasta el consumo de energía (eléctrica y térmica) y agua. De igual manera, se afecta el potencial energético de la biomasa residual, recurso utilizado para suplir la demanda energética del proceso de extracción.

Las grasas en la alimentación son indispensables para el buen funcionamiento del organismo, ya que aportan ácidos grasos esenciales, son fuente energética para las células y tienen funciones estructurales. También son imprescindibles en la elaboración de productos alimenticios puesto que contribuyen en su palatabilidad. El aceite de palma extraído de los cultivares híbridos OxG es considerado como el equivalente tropical del aceite de oliva. Por otra parte, en los consumidores, este tipo de aceite trae consigo efectos positivos sobre la salud al incrementar el contenido de colesterol HDL (lipoproteínas de alta densidad) en la sangre, debido al gran volumen de ácidos grasos monoinsaturados (AGMI), especialmente ácido oleico en la matriz lipídica. El aceite de palma con mayor contenido de ácido oleico (APAO) es extraído del cultivar Coari x La Mé del híbrido OxG. Además de ser una fuente natural de polifenoles, el APAO presenta una gran concentración de carotenoides (provitamina A), biomoléculas necesarias para la síntesis de vitamina A (retinol) en el cuerpo humano, la cual tiene mucha importancia para el desarrollo visual (Ribeiro et al., 2018). Adicionalmente, un fuerte contenido de tocotrienoles (isoforma de vitamina E) están presentes en el APAO (Teixeira et al., 2013). La importancia de los tocotrienoles radica en que la vitamina E es un poderoso antioxidante (Arora et al., 2006), antiinflamatorio (Galli et al., 2017), anticancerígeno y neuroprotector (Jiang, 2014). Con el fin de divulgar las ventajas nutricionales del aceite de palma, en este capítulo se describen aspectos generales de los aceites vegetales en la salud y la nutrición humana y la importancia biológica de las grasas. Además, específicamente sobre el aceite del híbrido OxG, se presenta su valor nutricional, de sus vitaminas y de otros compuestos menores, al igual que los nuevos usos del APAO y la normatividad asociada.

Las mejores prácticas agrícolas en cultivares híbridos interespecíficos OxG (Elaeis oleifera x Elaeis guineensis) están relacionadas con el conjunto de actividades y labores agronómicas que, aplicadas de manera adecuada y oportuna, conducen a mejorar el estado fitosanitario y la productividad del cultivo de la palma de aceite y, por lo tanto, hacen al cultivo más competitivo y sostenible. Para lograr la competitividad de este sector, los palmicultores y beneficiadores del fruto que utilizan cultivares híbridos OxG deben adoptar y adaptar las mejores prácticas agroindustriales en sus plantaciones. De esta manera mejorarán la productividad, bajarán costos de producción y aprovecharán la versatilidad de los productos que se generan a partir del beneficio del fruto del híbrido interespecífico OxG. En este escenario, se presentan los resultados de las mejores prácticas agrícolas y la adopción de tecnologías alcanzadas por los productores durante cuatro años de trabajo, en las zonas Norte, Central, Oriental y Suroccidental de Colombia. A pesar de la variabilidad en las condiciones biofísicas entre las cuatro zonas productoras de palma, la implementación de prácticas agrícolas asociadas a la disposición de biomasa alrededor del plato, al manejo eficiente del recurso hídrico en aquellos predios con acceso al riego y en las zonas donde se utiliza principalmente drenaje superficial, a una nutrición balanceada y a un manejo fitosanitario llevó a un incremento promedio de 7,5 t RFF/ha y a una reducción promedio del 6 % del costo por tonelada. No obstante, se observaron lotes con incremento anual de 10 t RFF/ha, en las zonas Norte (subzona Urabá) y Suroccidental (Tumaco), y de 4,5 t RFF/ha en las zonas Central (subzona Puerto Wilches) y Oriental. El incremento en el ingreso neto permite un negocio rentable para los productores de pequeña y mediana escala. Por otro lado, la estrategia de transferencia de tecnología productor a productor ha permitido que la adopción de las tecnologías de ubicación de biomasa alrededor del plato, punto óptimo de cosecha y polinización artificial estén cerca del 40 % en el área cultivada con el híbrido interespecífico OxG

Farmers in the Maze of Problems
Authors: DR. MAYA BAPURAO MASRAM
Published: May 2023

India has been an agricultural country since ancient times. About 70 percent of India's population lives in villages. Most of this population is dependent on agriculture. Agriculture sector has given India a special reputation in the international arena. About 30 percent of India's total national income comes from agriculture. The organization of Indian society and the joint family system retains its importance in today's age only because of agriculture. Surprisingly, despite agriculture being the main and important occupation of the majority of people in our country, it is very backward and unscientific. Unless Indian agriculture improves, there is no possibility of improvement in the condition of the Indian peasantry, and the development of Indian villages is unthinkable before the improvement of the condition of the Indian peasantry. There is a huge difference between Indian agriculture and agriculture in other countries. Reason : Farming in other countries is done in modern scientific manner, while Indian agriculture is unscientific and underdeveloped. Indian farmers do not want to do modern farming and are based on traditional farming. Apart from this, the nature of Indian agriculture is unorganized as agriculture here depends on the bounty of nature. If there is rain in the right amount at the right time, the crop will grow well, otherwise, if there is a drought, the entire crop will be destroyed. Thus, Indian agriculture is not economically viable for the common farmer due to its dependence on the uncertainties of nature. The condition of agriculture and farmers in India is getting worse day by day due to which many farmers are forced to commit suicide. Even today 60% to 70% of people in India depend on agriculture. Every government is aware of this problem but there are no proper solutions. The condition of Indian farmers is very bad, people just argue, politicize and forget about it. But no effective solution has been found for this.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and potential effect of a physical exercise package on the motor proficiency of children and adolescents with Down syndrome. Methods: In this research, an experimental design was conducted in two special schools to evaluate the effectiveness of this package and identify its strengths and weaknesses. Forty students with Down syndrome were selected and randomly divided into intervention and control groups. A total of 36 (22 male and 14 female) students out of 50 at two special schools for children with special needs between October 2020 and March 2021 were recruited for the study. Participants were aged 12.888 ± 2.375 (12.954 ± 2.609 for boys and 12.785 ± 2.044 for girls) years. The 18 students in the intervention group participated in the exercise sessions, 2 or 3 sessions per week for 12 weeks. Pre- and post-tests were performed on both groups. The Physical Exercise Package included the principles of exercise, the preferred exercise methods, and the details of exercise planning for Down syndrome individuals (FITT-VP) based on the etiology of Down syndrome and the characteristics of people with this syndrome. Motor proficiency was measured using the Bruininks Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2). Results: The results of the study showed that the designed exercise package was adhered to with all the participants attending 93.2% of the sessions, and participants significantly improved their total motor proficiency score, manual dexterity, upper-limb coordination, strength, balance, upper-limb coordination, running speed and agility and fine motor Integration (P < 0.05). However, the exercises did not significantly change the bilateral coordination and fine motor precision (P > 0.05). Conclusions: the current study result shows that developing and implementing the individualized exercise package and observing the principles set out in the program could have significant positive impacts on the motor proficiency of students with Down syndrome.

Authors: Kemer Seda Nur , Celik Halil Ibrahim , Ozal Seyda , Kafa Nihan
Published: May 2023

Background: Insufficiencies of gluteus medius and maximus muscles in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) may restrict activity and participation by affecting gait, gross motor functions, and balance. Objectives: The present study aimed to elucidate the effect of Kinesio taping (KT) applied to the gluteus medius and maximus muscles on activity and participation in children with CP. Methods: The study was completed with 20 children with unilateral CP who were randomly divided into 2 groups: The KT group received KT and physiotherapy (n = 11), and the control group received only physiotherapy (n = 9). The KT application was administered for 4 weeks. The activity was evaluated with a BTS G-Walk Spatiotemporal Gait Analysis System, Timed Up and Go test (TUG), Functional Mobility Scale (FMS), Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), and Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS); in addition, participation was evaluated using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Results: The KT group showed significant improvements in the gait parameter (cadence; P = 0.009), pelvic tilt symmetry (P = 0.017), pelvic rotation symmetry (P = 0.018), gait symmetry (P < 0.001), FMS (P = 0.07), TUG, GMFM, PBS, and COPM scores (P < 0.001) in the medium-term compared to the control group. It was also found that gait (cadence; P = 0.004) and functional mobility (P < 0.001) improved in the immediate term than in the KT group. Conclusions: KT combined with conventional physiotherapy can improve cadence and functional mobility in the immediate term, as well as gait and pelvic symmetry, functional mobility, gross motor function, balance, and participation in the medium term in children with unilateral CP. Further randomized controlled studies addressing large samples and long-term effects are warranted.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) dramatically impacts healthcare delivery. Pulmonary diagnostic procedures have had frequent disruptions during this pandemic. Objectives: This study aimed to discover how the COVID-19 pandemic affected pediatric flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out on pediatric patients who underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy at a tertiary pediatric hospital affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Procedural analysis was done from 20 March 2019 to 20 February 2020 (the pre-pandemic period) and 20 March 2020 to 20 February 2021 (during the pandemic period). The two groups were compared with regard to bronchoscopic indications and findings. Results: Our results from the data registry showed that within (group 1), 290 patients vs. 241 patients from 20 March 2020 till 20 February 2021 (group 2) were admitted to the operation room at least once for bronchoscopy procedures. Although the findings of foreign body aspiration in bronchoscopy were more frequent in group 2, this difference was not significant in the two groups (P = 0.055). The number of cases without abnormality in group 2 was significantly less than in group 1 (P = 0.006). The prevalence of Laryngomalacia was also significantly higher in group 2 (P = 0.000). Conclusions: Our results confirmed the reduction of bronchoscopy in children after the COVID-19 epidemic. However, there was no change in the immediate indications for bronchoscopy, and this pandemic had the most significant impact on elective bronchoscopy.

The effect of cold restraint stress on plasma lithium concentration in rats
Authors: Sanal İbrahim , Gökalp Avni , Erkol Hayri , Aybastı Necdet
Published: May 2023

In the present study plasma lithium concentrations have been shown to be significantly higher in rats which were given lithium chloride (LiCl) and subjected to stress and given both LiO and indomethacin and subjected to stress than those which were given only LiO. Renal prostaglandins are important mediators of renal electrolyte excretion. When the previous report on the inhibitory effect of acute stress on the endogenous gastric prostaglandin synthesis was taken into consideration, our results suggest that acute stress may lead to increased plasma lithium levels by inhibiting renal PG synthesis similar to the effect of indomethacin.

The patients were randomly assigned to two groups patients in Group 1 received morphine sulphate orally (MST Continus tablets) 30 mg and patients in Group 11 received I.M. morphine (Chl) 10 mg. The effectiveness for premedication and subsequent postoperative analgesia, of two different formulations of morphine administration was investigated. The demand for postoperative analgesia was assessed subjectively employing a Linear 10 cm analogue scal. It was abserved that, oral morphine provided better postoperative analgesia. Which was of Longer duration, but when it was evaluated statiscally, it was found meaningless. The side effects depending on morphine were investigated. It was observed that the rate of nausea and vomiting with MST was less than with I.M. morphine. Pulse rate and mean arterial pressure values were compared with control values and no statistically difference was found finally. It was observed that; MST provided Longer postoperative analgesia and caused nausea and vomiting in a Lesser degree.

Behçet's disease was first reported by Prof.Dr.Hulusi Behçet in 1937 as a new disease which appeared as a triple symptom complex including recurrent oral genital aphtous ulceration and iritis. Becides these symptoms, such as vascular (% 6-50), Pulmoner (% 5), intestinal, articular, urogenital, cardiac and neurological involvements. The clinical course of Behçet's disease tends to show a certain order of appearence of the symptoms:Oral aphtous ulcers appear first, then skin eruptions, followed by ocular genital and articular involvements usually occur after the appearence of these symptoms. But some patients had vascular involvements initially. This may cause a delay in diagnosis. We present 20 case of Behçet's disease with vascular and pulmoner lesions and provide a brief review of the literature.

39 patients with pleural effusions were examined. Cases were classified according to etiologies as transudates, neoplastic exudates, tuberculous exudates and miscellaneous exudates. Pleural fluid protein, LDH, cholesterol concentrations were measured. Mean cholesterol values determined were 92 mg/dl far neoplastic fluids, 82 mg/dl far tuberculeus exudates, 62 mg/dl for miscellaneous group and 23 mg/dl for transudates. If 55 mg/dl taken as the cut­ off value in distinguishing between plevral exudates and transudates, ali transudates and 87.5 percent of exudates were correctly diagnosed. With these findings, it can be concluded that determination of the level of cholesterol in pleural fluid could be used as a simple and reliable test in distinguishing transudates from exudates.

Büyük Anadolu Depremleri Sonrası Türkiye’de Afet Yönetimi
Authors: ŞAHİN Ahmet Yavuz
Published: May 2023

–Afet yönetimi; genel olarak afet öncesinde ve sonrasında yapılabilecek olan her türlü yönetim ve organizasyonu kapsayan koordinasyon ve bu koordinasyonun yönetilmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Son yıllarda afet öncesi ve sonrasına afet sırasında kavramı da eklenerek kavram genişletilmiştir. Afet yönetimi afet oluşmadan önce yapılması gereken planlamaların en önemlisidir. Böylece afet gerçekleşmeden afete karşı alınabilecek önlemler, afet sırasında yaşanabilecek sorunlara karşı çözümler ve afet sonrası normalleşme süreci için atılacak adımlar yönetim ve organizasyonu planlanmış olacaktır. Türkiye’nin afet geçmişine bakıldığında, ülkemizin deprem kuşağında olması nedeniyle yaklaşık olarak %61 oranın da depremlerin olduğu geri kalan afetlerin ise %15 heyelan %14 sel %5 kaya düşmesi ve %1 lik kısımın ise çığ, fırtına, kar, yağmur kaynaklı olduğu görülmektedir. Bir toplum için afet sayılabilecek bir durum, başka bir toplum için ise afet olarak nitelendirilmeyebilir. Bu, genellikle toplumların gelişmişlik durumlarıyla doğru orantılıdır. Bu duruma en belirgin örnek Japonya’da gerçekleşen depremler verilebilir. Japonya gibi ülkelerde depremle yaşam günlük rutin olarak görüldüğünden deprem genel manada bu tip ülkeler için afet olarak görülmez çünkü yapıların dayanıklı olmasının yanı sıra halk bilinçlendirilmiştir. Fakat ülkemizde depremin büyüklüğü ve şiddeti farketmeksizin doğal afet olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu problemden yola çıkarak çalışmamızda 6 Şubat 2023 Büyük Anadolu Depremleri öncesi ve sonrası Türkiye’nin Afet Yönetim Politikaları ele alınmaktadır. Yaşanan afet öncesindeki politikalar ile afet sonrası ortaya konan politikalar değerlendirilerek Türkiye’nin yaşanan afet karşısındaki durumu değerlendirilmiştir.

Lung Cancer in today’s world is one of the major widespread dangerous diseases which is the subject of maximum deaths every year. Accurate detection of lung cancer could boost the endurance rate. Medical image processing has a significant impact on the recognition of lung tumors using Computer Tomography (CT) scan images. Images from a CT scan are widely used because they provide comprehensive imaging of tumor progression inside the lungs. Although different types of noise might be experienced while doing CT scans, producing it a monotonous task for recognizing tumors in the lung. Elimination of noise in CT images is a challenging task for medical diagnoses. The presence of noise in an image is inevitable. Hence reducing noise from the CT scan image is critical for further analysis. Hence various filtering techniques have been used that denoise and enhance the image and help in further evaluation of CT images for accurate lung cancer detection. This paper analyses the noises of different kinds in the CT images and different noise removal techniques which help in improving the accuracy of segmentation and feature extraction as they remove unwanted noise and contribute to the accurate detection of lung cancer. The various filtering methods are analyzed with salt along with pepper noise and speckle noise. The performances of different filters are computed in terms of metrics for evaluation like PSNR, SSIM, MSE, and SNR. The experimental results show that the median filter is more efficient in comparison to other filtering methods in eliminating noises that exist in lung CT images by owning fewer MSE values of 214.8522, high SNR value of 19.36304, SSIM value 0.595997, and high PSNR value of 24.80941.

ML based forecast systems have demonstrated their significance in expecting the preoperative result in to further develop independent direction in regards to the future course of action.ML models have for some time been utilized in numerous application regions requiring the ID and prioritization of troublesome variables for a danger. Understanding and characterizing chest x-beam (CXR) and figured tomography (CT) pictures are critical for the finding of COVID19. To resolve these issues, we utilized the CNN Vggnet19 engineering to analyse Coronavirus in light of CXR lung pictures. Such a device can save time in deciphering chest x-beams and increment exactness and consequently work on our clinical capacity to identify and analyse COVID19. Research is that arrangement of clinical x-beam lung pictures (which incorporate typical pictures, contaminated with microorganisms, and tainted infections including COVID19) were utilized to frame a profound CNN that could make the differentiation among clamour and helpful data then utilize this preparation to decipher new pictures by perceiving designs that show specific sicknesses, for example, Covid disease in individual pictures.
Research on the analytics of traffic pumping in telecommunications via data science using rehabilitated frog leaping algorithm

Published: May 2023

One kind of telecom crime known as "traffic pumping" occurs when local phone companies artificially overstate the volume of calls flowing into their systems so that they may charge the calling party a greater access fee than their own. Lacking labels for training set makes it difficult to determine whether congestion pumps has occurred. In this study, we suggested a decision-support system based on cluster analysis and decision trees for identifying fraudulent cases. In this study, we use the IBM Telco and Cell2cell datasets. The gathered information can be preprocessed using normalization. When we have collected enough data, we use the rehabilitation frog leaping algorithm (RFLA) to divide up the possible incidents of fraud into distinct groups. Next, we used the cluster participation labels to build a decision tree that led us to the criteria that must be met in order to pursue legal action against the circumstances that raised red flags. Professionals in the field of telecommunications (TC) verify these guidelines in an effort to find a legal remedy against accused offenders. The results are demonstrated and proved the efficiency of the proposed system by comparing it with the conventional techniques.

When a national conflict of laws rule chooses a foreign law, the court is bound to apply the foreign law. However, the court does not own foreign law, and the state must help the court to clarify the content of foreign law. National civil legislation provides for such mechanisms, but these mechanisms are not enough. A sufficient number of such mechanisms are provided by the European Convention on Information Relating to Foreign Laws of 1968, but the Republic of Armenia has not acceded to the European Convention.

Authors: Galin Claire , Shinn Alyson
Published: May 2023

Student-run clinics are a common and valuable educational resource for many medical institutions. While there is literature describing student-run clinics at allopathic medical schools, there is little literature describing student-run clinics at osteopathic institutions. The Touro University Nevada Osteopathic Childrenâ€™s Clinic (TUNOCC) is a student-run clinic that provides opportunities for Touro University Nevada College of Osteopathic Medicine (TUNCOM) medical students to practice their osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). The clinic exclusively serves pediatric and obstetric patients and provides osteopathic care for common musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal conditions. This article describes the mission and evidence base for an osteopathic student-run clinic in which students are able to practice osteopathic manipulative medicine and offers insight into the clinic flow, student participation, and leadership.

Published: May 2023

Background: The importance of preventive services has been well established, yet rates of preventive service delivery continue to lag behind national goals. While numerous studies have identified barriers to preventive service delivery and implemented interventions to improve delivery, research into this important area is lacking in the setting of student-run clinics.  Methods: In this study a multifaceted intervention consisting of patient and provider education, provider check list, pre-clinic chart review, and financial assistance for preventive services was implemented for 14 months in a student-run clinic.Results: Rates of delivery of United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) Grade A and B recommended preventive services were evaluated before and after implementation of the intervention with 16 of 26 services improving during the intervention but only tetanus immunization reaching significance. In addition, rates of delivery of preventive services were compared to reported national averages and targets set by Healthy People 2020 with 16 of 20 services being offered at or above reported national averages and 10 of 16 services meeting the targets laid out in Healthy People 2020.Conclusions: The rate of preventive services can be improved in student-run clinics through the implementation of multi-faceted interventions to a level that meets national averages and targets.

Published: May 2023

Background: Lifestyle counseling in the primary care setting has been shown to have significant health outcome benefits for patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. General physicians often do not provide adequate lifestyle and nutrition counseling due to time constraints or lack of knowledge and training. In order to increase access to nutrition counseling in a low-resource setting and to increase physician comfort in counseling patients, we designed an intervention in which medical students conducted nutrition counseling using goal-setting and teaching MyPlate.Methods: This study was conducted at the East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership, a student-run, physician-supervised free clinic that serves uninsured adults. Student clinicians used a standardized script to provide nutrition counseling to patients, and patientsâ€™ pre- and post-intervention knowledge of MyPlate and nutrition goals were recorded. Results: Fifty-seven patients and 36 students participated in the intervention with a significant increase in patientsâ€™ knowledge of MyPlate and health goals. Conclusions: We posit that this simple intervention can be implemented in primary care clinics, especially those in which medical students rotate.

Background: Laboratory follow-up is a critical aspect of patient care, and clinicians and patients communicate via both in-person and remote channels. Patient preferences for different modalities and the impact of experiencing in-person versus phone follow-up on future preferences are not well understood, especially in safety net settings.
Methods: We conducted a survey of 235 patients at two San Francisco Bay Area student-run free clinics to ascertain patient preferences for in-person and phone follow-up. We determined the clinical complexity of laboratory follow-up and overall patient care by conducting a chart review of 113 surveyed patients who received lab results and all 579 patients who received care at either clinic.
Results: Patients naÃ¯ve to laboratory follow-up reported similar preferences for in-person (32%) and phone (36%) follow-up (p=0.58). Patients who received results in-person subsequently reported a greater preference for future in-person follow-up (65%, p=0.003), whereas preference for phone follow-up (43%, p=0.69) did not shift after experiencing this modality. Patients with more complex follow-up (e.g., altering medications or ordering additional diagnostic studies, versus routine health counseling) reported a greater preference for receiving results in-person (p=0.013) and a lower preference for receiving results by phone (p=0.036).
Conclusions: Patientsâ€™ preferences for receiving test results shift significantly after experiencing certain modalities (i.e., in-person) but not others (i.e., phone), and these shifts may be associated with the clinical complexity of laboratory follow-up. Future research should explore the utility of these findings in personalizing laboratory follow-up to optimize care delivery and quality in safety net settings.
