The research aims at the comparative study of some varieties of autumn wheat in conventional cultivation system, in the conditions of the eutricpsamosol, from Poiana Mare, on an area of 300 ha cultivated with wheat, for a better knowledge of them, in order to the recommendation to cultivate in the area, the varieties that can express to the maximum, the productive and qualitative potential.For two years (2019 - 2020), within S.C. Primagrimar SRL Poiana Mare, Dolj were grown wheat varieties: MIRANDA, OTILIA - Romanian varieties and AVENUE, SORRIAL - French varieties. Regarding the obtained production, the Miranda variety registered the average value of 7800 kg / ha, and the Sorrial and Avenue varieties obtained an average production of 8050-8150 kg / ha.The high production of these French varieties is argued by the fact that they belong to the Premium group, very productive, very drought tolerant and with high ecological plasticity, with good resistance to wintering, falling, diseases and high twinning capacity, receptive to fertilizer doses, superior in terms of quality.The biological potential is very high reaching 11.000 kg / ha. Given the very high rainfall in June, when the plants reached physiological maturity, in both years of research, it was observed that foreign varieties lose their baking qualities very quickly, due to rains that "wash" gluten and reduce their hectoliter mass, which is not the case with Romanian varieties. Avenue, being extra early, was the most affected during the research period.

Rye (Secale cereale L.) is an important crop in Europe, where it occupies about 90% of the world's area cultivated with this cereal (FAOSTAT, 2018), mainly in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The main research highlights the mechanisms of adaptation of rye culture to climate change, aimed at identifying genotypes that have a good behavior in culture under conditions of abiotic (thermohydric) and biotic stress (pathogens and pests) in order of restoring the production capacity and protection of agroecosystems in the area of sandy soils by promoting in culture some genotypes tolerant to thermohydric stress. In the two experimented years of 2020 and 2021 the obtained results prove the new genotypes promoted on the market had a higher capacity of production than the Control (Suceveana variety), with an average yield of over 4555 kg/ha registered at Serafino genotype in the conditions of a sandy soil with a low natural fertility, poorly supplied with total nitrogen (0.05- 0.07%). In average, during the tested years, the attack frequencies of pests manifested in the comparative rye culture, as well as the attack intensities did not show significant differences from one variety to another, significant differences compared to the control variety (Suceveana) being observed only in the case of Serafino variety.

Recently, worldwide, there has been a decrease in wine consumption, as the consumer has become much more attentive to the quality of this food, refusing products that do not meet certain standards. At the same time, the new world wine regions specialize in quality production, coming on the market with a varied offer and at a convenient price. The fame of the particularly pleasant characteristics of Romanian wines is given not only by the extremely high value of several local varieties, which have given fame to some wine centers: Fetească alba by Alba Iulia, Grasa by Cotnari, Tămâioasă by Drăgăşani, or by Pietroasele, Busuioacă by Bohotin, Fetească neagră de Nicoreşti, Negru de Dragasani, etc., but also the fact that the most famous foreign varieties, which made famous certain regions and countries (Traminer, Sauvignon, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot), cultivated in Romania wines that have often equaled or surpassed, by their "generosity" and finesse, those of the countries of origin. For wine and especially red wine, it is important to establish its typicality and authenticity due to its impact on the large mass of knowledgeable consumers who value quality and safety.

In 2021 year, 120 cultivars of winter wheat were tested on the Caracal chernozem in microplots. The following traits were determined: yield, thousand kernel weight, test weight, days from 01.01 to heading date. The variability of the characters was studied by the method of boxplots and variability coefficients. The obtained yield registered values between 12306 kg / ha for the Romanian cultivar Ursita and 5803 kg / ha for the KWS Marvel cultivar. The plant height had values between 110 cm for the Kapitol cultivar and 69 cm for the Avenue cultivar. The test weight showed values in the range 78 kg / hl (Apexus) - 64.2 kg / hl (Atuan). The thousand kernel weight recorded values between 47.2 g for the SY Starlord cultivar and 29.29 g for the Amburgo cultivar. The period from 01.01 to heading date lasted between 143 days (Sophie and Lennox) and 123 days (Tata Mata and Felix). The highest coefficient of variability was presented by the yield, this being over 10%. The lowest variability was registered by the test weight and the period from 01.01 to heading date, the values being around 3%. The analysis of the variability of the yield by the boxplot method highlighted a negative outlier (KWS Marvel cultivar). From the point of view of plant height, by the same method, three positive outliers were observed - Kapitol, Bezostaia and Exotic. Their height - 110, 109, and 108 cm, respectively, is significantly larger than that of all other cultivars. The values of the calculated correlation coefficients suggested that in the climatic conditions of 2020-2021 agricultural year, the yield was not correlated with any of the studied characters, the coefficients being below Analele Universităţii din Craiova, seria Agricultură – Montanologie – Cadastru (Annals of the University of Craiova - Agriculture, Montanology, Cadastre Series) Vol. 51/1/2021 245 0.21 (the value from which the correlation could be considered significant at P = 5%).

Though the life has been totally changed after the covid-19 pandemic and one has never imagined being in such circumstances. The face mask was once thought to be the beauty for operating surgeons is now globally indicated to be prevented from the covid-19 infection. Every aspect of life has been affected by the pandemic including the routine hospital services for the elective cases.1As the evolution is the part of life so we all are growing to make our life adjustable with it. No doubt the prevention and protection is the key to survive but along with that one should have courage to fight with it. Hence it is an unpleasant and life threatening disease and also very distressing for the one who became its victim.2 Globally the covid-19 pandemic has an alarming effects on the precious lives and its causing huge challenges to the everyday routine3. By the April 2020, globally more than 8 lac cases of covid-19 has recorded. As the cancer patients are already immune compromised and more prone to get contacted with covid-19 infection, as is supported by a Chinese study that they are more vulnerable to develop complications as well4,5. When a cancer patient simultaneously contacted by the covid-19 infection then the treatment should be prioritize that which patient can be delayed until the control over active infection can occur. Though the risk of transmission to the health care workers (HCW) is significant while treating such patients.6As there should be a balanced practice for the management of covid-19 pandemic and for the cancer patients and being HCW we need to cover both the diseases at the same time to save the precious lives. There are international guidelines to manage the cancer patients during covid-19 pandemic but the decision is still vary from patient to patient according to the stage of the cancer and also the severity of covid-19 infection. It has been observed that multi-disciplinary approach plays the major role for the cancer patient management including surgeons along with the oncologist, radiologist, pathologist, psychiatrist, councilor and nurse. Meanwhile they all are facing the major risk of being contacted to the covid-19 when their patients are being the victim of it7.

Published: March 2022

Aim: To assess the efficacy of endometrial sampling using Pipelle compared with Conventional dilatation & curettage in women with bleeding from the uterus that is heavier/longer than usual or that occurs at an irregular time. Place and duration of study: Department of Obs & Gynae, Aviceena Medical College/Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021. Methodology: This comparative study was carried out in 57 women with abnormal uterine bleeding. Endometrial sampling was done by Pipelle without cervical dilatation followed by dilatation & curettage. Histopathology results were compared. Histopathological evaluation of the samples obtained by Dilatation & curettage was considered gold standard. Results: All endometrial tissue samples (100%) collected by dilatation & curettage while 98% obtained by the Pipelle sampler were acceptable for histopathology. Histopathological investigation of 57 samples acquired through dilatation & curettage confirmed proliferative and Secretory changes, Endometrial Hyperplasia, Endometritis in 15,13, 19, and 4 subjects while Endometrial Polyps and Malignant change in 2 and 4 specimens respectively. Conclusion: Pipelle endometrial sampling is an efficient outpatient procedure thus avoiding hazards of general anesthesia with a great precision for evaluating benign and malignant endometrial pathology.

Aim: To compare the sources of media versus Lady Health Worker in communication for EPI in Pakistan Methods: The study carried out by secondary analysis of “Pakistan demographic and Health Survey 2017-18”. It includes women who have a baby of age between twelve to twenty four months at the time of survey. The exposure is access to media / visit of LHW and outcome is immunization status of baby. T-test and chi square tests were conducted for continuous and categorical variables. To calculate association of communication variables and childhood vaccination, binary logistic regression and multiple logistic regression analysis was used. Results: Respondents who are not seen by LHW have 28% increased probability of inadequately vaccinated babies in comparison with households visited by LHW in previous one year, even when adjusted for socio-demographic variables. The association between “access to any source of information” and inadequate immunization status of the babies remains insignificant. Conclusion: It is concluded from our study that the women not met by Lady Health Worker have increased probability of incompletely vaccinated kids in comparison to women who are seen by Lady Health Worker during the previous year. Keywords: Immunization, communication

Published: March 2022

Background: "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome" (PCOS) has been identified as a hazard for growing diabetes. Although it indicates and symptoms of "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome" (PCOS) appear before the signs and symptoms of "Insulin resistance" (IR) first, According to an assumption "Insulin resistance" (IR) may have a part in developing PCOS instead of another factor. Insulin resistance caused by obesity modifies the function of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus in the brain, leading to an increase in the synthesis of androgenic hormones, which correlate to PCOS1. Aim: To analyze outcomes of insulin resistance in women having polycystic ovaries Methodology: A literature search was performed with the use of search engines. The following search engines provided the articles for this systematic review, PubMed, Medscape, NCBI, and Google Scholar. For article searching following keywords were used; Polycystic ovaries, insulin resistance. Results: As a literature review of 45 articles and only 39 were included in this review, it is found that the Mean age of all subjects was 24-37 years. Obese females were 20-30 years and non-obese were 18-34 years. Insulin resistance occurs in 70-95% of females who were obese and had PCOS and 30-75% of females who were lean and developed PCOS. Hirsutism was observed mostly in obese patients diagnosed of having PCOS. Incidence of Amenorrhea was found higher in lean patients. Conclusion: It is concluded that high insulin is not just a symptom of PCOS it's also one of the major drivers of this condition. Insulin resistance acts as a key factor of PCOS. It mostly occurs among people who are obese and had developed PCOS. Keywords: (PCOS) Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Resistance, Insulin

Major part of this project is the formation of different special economic zones (SEZs) to boost industrial growth. Additional energy plants would be required once these zones are set up. As the world is shifting its trend towards renewable energy, therefore major focus will be on risks related to renewable energy. Literature was studied, different risk factors were identified and risk solutions/measures were also identified. In the second phase, three renewable energy technologies. The main method used for research was Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) tool. Expert Choice software was used based on AHP structural concept. Pairwise questionnaire was formed while data were collected through three groups consisting of government officials, company representatives and officials and end users. The high risks were identified as a result according to each group and the risk solutions. The results provided priority of risks which were most important according to each group. The solutions were also ranked as identified by each group. The results obtained from second phase indicated which renewable technology was most affected by each of risk factor. This risk assessment can provide overview to government and investors about different risks. The evaluation of results and taking necessary steps can reduce these risks and provide better business and working conditions for this industry.

Math Anxiety and Mathematical Representations of Grade 7 Students
Authors: Escarez Jr. Yno Ferdinand D. , Ching Delon A.
Published: March 2022

Naturally, students are afraid to learn Mathematics that progresses as a fear of getting things wrong. This study utilizes the descriptive-correlational research design to test how the math anxiety and mathematics are connected to each other. Forty-two (42) Grade 7 students participated in the study during the school year 2020-2021. It used a researcher-made survey questionnaire on math anxiety and an examination on mathematical representations through modular learning. The math anxiety is indicated by mathematics test anxiety and numerical anxiety both with ten statements. Meanwhile, the examination was focused on the different components of mathematical representation such as pictures, manipulative models, written symbols, real-world situations and oral language. The result showed that students have high level of anxiety towards mathematics. Although students experience high level of test and numerical anxiety, their mathematical representations examination showed ‘developing’ level of performance. These two inverse results were supported by a no significant relationship between the math anxiety and students’ performance in mathematics. Although the inverse relationship proved the effect of the anxiety on the test scores, the null hypothesis on the relationship of the variables was rejected. The study recommends further testing involving different modalities of learning such as online and hybrid.

Published: March 2022

This study traced the surviving ancestral houses in Lucena City through cultural mapping. The participants were limited to the houses that were built during the Spanish and American period. The ancestral houses gathered are the Gabatin Ancestral House, Queblar Ancestral House, Aquilino and Laureana Daleon Ancestral House, Zaballero Ancestral House, Mauro Salvacion Ancestral House, Dr. Eufemio Jara Ancestral House, and the Villanueva Ancestral House. By utilizing the historical analysis approach, the researchers used the historical thinking standards which helped analyze the identifiable similarities among the houses based on the descriptions and short narratives associated with them. Upon interviewing the owners/heirs/representatives of the seven ancestral houses, the study found most ancestral houses were built during the American Occupation and mainly situated in the población areas, which are at the heart of the city. Furthermore, most of the ancestral houses were primarily built from wood and have a two-storey design. With this, owners were led to convert the house into commercial use for the financial consideration of the family and sustain the maintenance of the house. This study suggests a travel magazine to be developed not just feature each house but also promote the remaining ancestral houses in the City of Lucena. These historical tourism sites must be acknowledged by the people especially the residents of the city.

ME to WE Social Entrepreneurship: A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
Authors: Karsgaard Carrie , Shultz Lynette
Published: March 2022

The story of the WE enterprise, also known as ME to WE or WE Charity, presents us with a cautionary tale for teachers who welcome social enterprise into schools as a way of bringing community engagement and social justice into their educational programs. Our paper is a cautionary tale that, like all such tales, opens with the statement of a warning about social entrepreneurship in schools. As the narrative unfolds, this warning is disregarded, and the violator ultimately experiences an unpleasant fate. Using the large-scale data available on Instagram, this paper reveals in detail how WE represented itself, how others perceived it, and how it worked in and with schools to achieve its corporate goals. We conclude the tale by discussing how, by delinking education from corporate interests, schools may serve equity and the public good instead of creating brand fanatics in the service of elite interests.
Art Making Promotes Mental Health: A Solution for Schools That Time Forgot
Authors: Martin Brittany Harker , Colp S. Mitchell
Published: March 2022

This article presents art as a tool for promoting mental health in schools by examining the effects of art making in a sample of 104 school-based mental health professionals. It unites findings from unrelated disciplines to derive and test a new conceptual framework proposing that active engagement in a visual-tactile process over time mediates a shift to healthy mental states and that regular engagement in such process builds mental health capacity. Four hypotheses are tested through psychometrics with statistically significant findings for all (p < .05). Through this study, we advance Flow Theory in identifying a new causal mechanism for accessing Flow; and we make a novel, interdisciplinary contribution to the field of mental health in providing psychometric evidence that making visual art promotes mental health.

Published: March 2022

Cette étude qualitative décrit les expériences vécues par des étudiants universitaires québécois (n = 18) dont les parents sont nés en Amérique latine, tout au long de leur parcours éducatif. L’analyse révèle l’existence d’une frontière entre ceux qu’ils nomment les Québécois francophones et les autres. Pour eux, cette frontière axée sur une différence linguistique — souvent attribuée à leur accent — les amène à ressentir de l’anxiété langagière et de la discrimination linguistique. Ils relatent que le système éducatif ne prendrait pas suffisamment en compte leurs difficultés. La conclusion identifie des pistes d’intervention valorisant le plurilinguisme pour favoriser leur inclusion.

Published: March 2022

Background:

Hip fracture surgery is painful, and regional anesthesia (RA) has been used in an attempt to reduce pain and opioid consumption after surgery. Despite potential analgesic benefits, the effect of RA on inpatient and outpatient opioid demand is not well known. We hypothesized that RA would be associated with decreased inpatient opioid demand and has little effect on outpatient opioid demand in hip fracture surgery.

Methods:

This study retrospectively evaluated all patients of 18 years and older undergoing hip fracture surgery from July 2013 to July 2018 at a single, level I trauma center (n = 1,659). Inpatient opioid consumption in 24-hour increments up to 72-hour postoperative and outpatient opioid prescribing up to 90-day postoperative were recorded in oxycodone 5-mg equivalents (OE's). Adjusted models evaluated the effect of RA on opioid demand after adjusting for other baseline and treatment variables.

Results:

After adjusting for baseline and treatment variables, there were small increases in inpatient opioid consumption in patients with RA (2.6 estimated OE's without RA versus three OE's with RA from 0 to 24 hours postoperatively, 2.1 versus 2.4 from 24 to 48 hours postoperatively, and 1.6 versus 2.2 from 48 to 72 hours postoperatively, all P values for RA <0.001). However, there were no notable differences in outpatient opioid demand.

Discussion:

RA did not decrease inpatient or outpatient opioid demand in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery in this pragmatic study. In fact, there were slight increases in inpatient opioid consumption, although these differences are likely clinically insignificant. These results temper enthusiasm for RA in hip fracture surgery.

Level of Evidence:

Level III, retrospective, therapeutic cohort study.

Sensorineural hearing loss remains one of the main issues of otology and audiology in most patients suffering from tinnitus and hearing impairments. We differentiate congenital, acquired, symptomatic and asymptomatic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss is mostly due to pathological changes in the peripheral part of the acoustic analyzer because of numerous endogenic and exogenic factors such as viral and bacterial infections, ototoxic medications, household toxic materials, inner ear mechanic and acoustic traumas, pathological effect of tinnitus on the organism, general somatic, vasculocerebral and other genetic diseases. As a result of these different etiologic factors, the pathological changes in the inner ear are mainly vascular which brings about the disturbances and atrophy of the neuroepithelial hair cells of the organ of Corti. Hence, the investigation of the different etiological factors and symptomatics of sensorineural hearing loss will bring about to better understanding and treating this complex disease.

In series experiments on 9 Albino rats (250 g) the comparative analyses of single neuron’s impulse activity of Substantia nigra compacta – SNc at high frequency stimulation (HFS) of the brain primary motor cortex (M1) in norm (107 neurons, n=4) and on the model of Parkison’s disease (PD) (105 neurons, n=5) has been conducted. Analyses of relative degree of depressor and excitatory effects frequency intensity on the base of spikes average frequency diagrams, represented as a disc diagram (in %) resulted in the following conclusions. In SNc neurons on the model of PD the poststimulus manifestations of depressor activity completely absent, but tetanic potentiation in both sequences 1,65- and 2,02-multiple exceeded of those in the norm. The comparative analyses of pre- and poststimulus frequency activity of SNc neurons on the model of PD, led to the conclusion that it is considerably higher in comparison with the norm. It has been revealed vulnerability of depressor poststimulus effects of SNc neurons, even their full absence, that in its turn, testifies about more involvement of SNc in PD.

Online social networks have become a popular medium of sharing information and also major source for connecting the people on a network. As we know that the threats related to online social network is affecting people to great extent, and is resulting in loss of trust among the people. The trust is basically the measure of confidence that an entity and entities will show in different manners, and privacy is basically a set of actions for controlling personal information. Our basic purpose is to improve user privacy and to build user trust on online social networks. For this purpose, we have conducted survey of users especially teenagers and have taken their views about their knowledge of maintaining privacy on social networks, whether they review privacy settings or leave it as it is, without knowing the importance of privacy. After getting survey result we concluded that most of teenagers are unaware of maintaining privacy so they did not review their privacy settings, resultantly they became a victim of different threats related to online social networks. For this purpose, the tool is designed for reviewing or checking the user’s privacy settings and generating different alerts for achieving desired privacy level.
DNA Fingerprints Facial Prints and Other Digital Forensics as Evidence in Criminal Investigation and Court Proceedings
Authors: Aftab Ahmad Dr Aftab Ahmad
Published: March 2022

The purpose of this paper is to focus on the legitimacy and importance of digital evidence such as fingerprints, DNA, polygraph, auto-radiography, and facial-prints and their admissibility in investigations and court proceedings. The extracts from criminal databases are also relevant in this context. The modus operandi of criminals, particularly in case of repetition of similar type of offence is also of immense significance. Normally, the criminals operate adopting a specific manner or method. The killers have their own way or mode of committing the offence. The modus operandi changes from person to person or groups to groups in committing the offences. It may determine that the offence is committed by a group or an individual. In view of its impotence, the modus operandi must be included in criminal databases as a separate column. The criminal images sketched by artists on the bases of description of witnesses present on scene of offence have relevance and must be included in the criminal databases for future reference and use.

With digitization, the ever-growing threat of cyber-attacks increases. Thus, the need for cybersecurity professionals, with an excellent skillset, is on a rise. Alongside this, it is important to know the skillsets of cybersecurity, which are needed the most. This is also important because once an organization knows what skillsets, it requires the most, the spending of its resources will become efficient. As a result, the protection of its digital assets can be done properly. In developing countries, like Pakistan, organizations need to know what skillsets they require the most because many of them have limited resources. Considering this problem, this research makes an effort to list and describe the most in-demand skillsets of cybersecurity in the world. As the skillsets of cybersecurity increase in number and versatility, a good knowledge of what skillsets are required can prevent saturation in the job market. This research will also help people, who are amateurs in this field, understand the concept of cybersecurity and the knowledge required to excel in this field.

Published: March 2022

This paper presents a methodology to find out the spam comments on YouTube videos. The purpose of this research is to find out the comments of those spam users, who comment for their own promotional intentions or to detect users whose comments that have no relevancy with the given video.The monetization policy introduced by YouTube for its user's channel and advertisement of different ads on YouTube videos has attracted a large number of users. This increase in a large number of users has also lead to an increase in malicious users whose job is to create automated bots for commenting and subscription to different YouTube channels. These malicious users'comments hurt the channel publicity and also affect the normal user's experience. YouTube is also working on this issue by using different methods to limit these kinds of automated bots malicious comments by blocking those comments. These kinds of methods are ineffective so far as spammers have found out different methods to bypass those heuristic approaches. Different machine learning approaches provide somehow better classification accuracy with the introduction of new approaches to solve it better than that. In this work, different techniques used for classification of spam comments with those of normal user comments to improve the classification and recent trend going on in this area are briefly analyzed to tackle this major issue.
