Public Health Series: Social inequalities and stillbirth
Authors: Falk Perlman Jessica
Published: January 2023

The newest MBRRACE-UK report on perinatal mortality noted a steady reduction in the overall rates of stillbirth nationally.1 Across the whole of the UK, the rate of stillbirth fell from 4.2 per 1,000 births in 2013 to 3.3 per 1,000 births in 2020.1 However, the same report highlights stark inequalities in outcomes for Black and South Asian families. On average, Black African women are more than twice as likely to experience a stillbirth compared to white women, while for Black Caribbean women the risk is 87% higher.

Handwriting is a component of the complex language that came about late in the history of mankind and which develops late in human beings. Numerous works have raised changes in both the graphic and kinematic characteristics of writing. Although, age does not modify the lexical and syntactic parameters of language, it can however modify its spatial structure, especially pressure and speed. Many neurodegenerative pathologies, especially Alzheimer's disease, are characterized by a progressive disorganization of writing. Depending on the cognitive stage of the dementia, the graphic gesture deteriorates as does the spatial construction. Objective: Our study aims at assessing the characteristics of Arabic writing in a healthy Moroccan population and to compare it to people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Our objective is to help health professionals detect early cognitive deterioration in neurodegenerative diseases by analyzing the graphic gesture.

Handwriting is captured on a graphic tablet (WACOM) and is analyzed "online" as a sequence of acquired signals (position, pressure, speed and pen inclination) in Moroccan patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease and these were compared to those of normal volunteers.

We performed a first analysis of the results from 18 Alzheimer's patients compared to 18 control subjects. The results reveal differences between the control and Alzheimer's groups. AD subjects had lower speeds and accelerations compared to the control subjects. The time spent on paper and in the air was significantly greater in the AD subjects.

This preliminary analysis of the results allowed us to identify distinguishing characteristics through the analysis of different handwriting parameters in order to identify the two groups studied.
How Are Czech Individuals Willing to Protect Themselves: A Comparison of Cyber and Physical Realms

Published: January 2023

Endpoint users are usually viewed as the highest-risk element in the field of cybersecurity. At the same time, they need to be secured not just from the individual-level prism, but also from the state's perspective to counter threats like botnets that harvest weakly secured endpoints and forge an army of so-called zombies out of them that are often used for attacks on critical infrastructure or other systems vital to a state. We can already see steps like the Israeli hotline for cybersecurity incidents of Estonian educational efforts in this area aimed at citizens. Little effort is although made to understand recipients of such measures. Our study partly fills this gap and investigates how endpoint users (citizens) are willing to secure themselves against cyber threats using the survey method. To make results more valid, a unique comparison with comparable physical threats through their impacts was made. The results show statistically significant differences between comparable cyber-physical pairs indicating that a large portion of the sample was not able to assess the threat environment appropriately and that state's intervention with fitting countermeasures is needed. The resultant matrix containing frequencies of answers denotes what portion of respondents are willing to invest a certain amount of time and money into countering given threats providing a possible identification of weak points where state investments are needed the most.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is effective in the management of patients with depression and anxiety. However, it is not known if it is effective in the case of anxiety and depression following SARS-CoV2 and NeuroCOVID-19 infection. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of stimulating the brain with the use of a tDCS protocol ameliorated by a functional neuromarker, and here based on HBI methodology to reduce anxiety and depression following SARS-CoV2 infection and NeuroCOVID-19 contraction.

A 47-year-old patient manifested severe anxiety and depression following a stroke following SARS-CoV2 infection and Neuro- COVID-19 contraction. The anxiety and depression were diagnosed using the HAD-Scale (Zigmond, Snaith 1983). A score of 8 to 10 is broad ly accepted as indicating mild symptoms, a score between 11- 16 suggests moderate anxiety or depression, and a score of 16 or more indicates severe anxiety or depressive symptoms. The patient received anodal tDCS to the left DLPFC using two different application protocols. Initially, a stimulation session of 2 milliamperes (mA) intensity for 20 minutes was administered every working day for 2 weeks. After 3 weeks, she subsequently received 7 daily sessions of periodic stimulations of an intensity of 2 mA for 13 minutes each with 20 minutes intersession intervals for 1 week. It was found that tDCS delivered via the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) was effective in the reduction of post-stroke anxiety and depression following SARS- CoV2 infection and NeuroCOVID-19 contraction. Immediately follow- ing the final session of the initial protocol of stimulation, the Had Score was reduced for anxiety from 18 to 6 points, and for depression from 17 to 5 points and the symptoms disappeared.

The HBI methodology allowed for the detection of a functional neuromarker of anxiety and depression and the development of a tDCS protocol. It was found that tDCS delivered via the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) was effective in the reduction of post-stroke anxiety and depression following SARS-CoV2 infection and NeuroCOVID-19 contraction.
NEUROSCIENCE OF SLEEP AND COGNITION: INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE NEW DREAM LUCIDITY INDUCTION PROTOCOL – A PILOT STUDY
Authors: Maciejewicz Berenika
Published: January 2023

The lack of standardized, efficient, and dependable lucid dream induction methods is one of the major barriers to studying the clinical and non-clinical applications of dream lucidity. Although the interest in therapeutic usage of lucid dreaming strategies in neuroscience of consciousness studies has increased in recent decades, many of the current induction approaches appear to not be replicable reliably.

In this study, a new protocol for bringing on lucid dreaming was created, implemented, analyzed, and contrasted with two distinct other approaches. Techniques to induce dream lucidity include reality testing methods, the wake-and-go-to-bed technique, mnemonic initiation, senses-initiation, and a combination of the above. Before beginning their 2 weeks of lucid dream induction new protocol study, a total of 36 participants filled out a pre-test survey, maintained a dream recall diary and sleep log for the duration of the experiment, and completed a final survey.

The findings showed that both the mnemonic induction and senses-initiation techniques were mildly effective in bringing about lucid dreaming. The new hybrid protocol, combining the reality check stra- tegy with dream recall amplification, performed significantly better. For lucid dream induction to work optimally, participants needed to become more proficient at remembering their dreams after waking up, so they were requested to maintain a sleep journal for 7 days before the experiment and throughout the study to enhance their ability to dream recall. There was no correlation found between the quality of one's sleep and the frequency of dream lucidity.

The results demonstrated that the new induction protocol was more successful than the other two investigated methods. There are many clinical applications for dream lucidity, such as treatment of recurring and debilitating nightmares, narcolepsy, and PTSD. Therapeu- tic potential also includes future usage for anesthesia awareness and locked-in syndrome. As such, further dream lucidity research remains important.

Published: January 2023

The present study was carried out at Livestock Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat to investigate the effect of parity on milking parlour behaviour, temperament and welfare of postpartum Surti buffaloes. Fourteen postpartum Surti buffaloes were selected and grouped based on parity as primiparous and multiparous (2nd to 5th lactation). The milking behaviour of experimental animals was observed on the day of calving, 7th, 15th, 30th, 45th, 60th and 80th day post-calving keeping in view the peak production of buffaloes. The primiparous animals showed higher milk let down time and milking time, and lower rate of milk flow as compared to multiparous animals. The frequency of incidences of urination, defecation, kicking and stepping were significantly higher in primiparous group. The primiparous animals exhibited more avoidance behaviour when approached by a test person, indicative of more agitation. During milking and in paddock, primiparous animals were more aggressive and restless as compared to multiparous animals which exhibited calmer and docile temperament. From the present study, it could be conferred that parity significantly influences the parlour behaviour, temperament and welfare in postpartum Surti buffaloes.

An experiment was conducted during 2014–18 at Agricultural Research Station, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, Karimnagar, Telangana to find out the relationship between heterosis, potence ratio and genetic distance for yield contributing characters in maize (Zea mays L.). Heterosis was trait dependent exhibiting high level for plant height, ear height, ear length, kernels/row, 100-kernel weight, grain yield and fodder yield. Two hybrids BML-51 × BML-14 (22.1%) and BML-51 × BML-6 (13.2%) recorded heterosis of greater than 10% over the check NK6240 and exhibited negative heterosis for flowering and maturity traits and positive heterosis for the remaining traits. Potence ratio indicated that majority of the traits in the hybrids had over dominance gene effect and expressed over dominance for ear length, ear diameter, kernels/row, fodder yield and grain yield suggesting heterosis breeding is an appropriate strategy for improvement of these traits. Standard heterosis of greater than 5% was observed in 7 crosses and out of these 6 belonged to mid parental divergence group. Five crosses, viz. BML-51 × BML-14, BML-51 × BML-7, BML-51 × BML-6, BML-32 × BML-13 and BML-32 × BML-6 with yield ranging from 7637 to 8733 kg/ha belonged to the medium parental divergence group comprising of high yielding inbreds, viz. BML-51 or BML-32 as parents. Grain yield heterosis was found significant and positively correlated with heterosis for ear length and 100-kernel weight. Therefore to maximize the full genetic potential of hybrids, inbreds with high per se performance and intermediate genetic divergence are to be involved in maize crop improvement programmes.

Published: January 2023

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an economically important dicotyledonous and tuber crop which is ranked as the fourth most cultivated food crop after wheat, rice and maize. Asexual propagation of potato is done through tubers which are prone to large number of fungal and viral diseases. Microtubers produced through tissue culture serve as an essential component for production of disease-free quality potato seed. The present study was carried out during 2018 and 2019 at School of Biotechnology, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agriculture Science and Technology of Jammu, Jammu to standardize in vitro microtuber production protocol in potato variety Kufri Sindhuri using different explants. Nodal segments were the most suitable explants for culture establishment which resulted in maximum survival with least contamination and mortality. Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with BAP (1.5 mg/litre) and NAA (0.1 mg/litre) resulted in 100% shoot regeneration with 3.75 shoots per explant. Vigorous shoot proliferation was achieved by fortification of calcium pentothenate (2 mg/litre) and gibberellic acid (0.25 mg/litre) in establishment medium. Pre-tuberization was done by incubating cultures for 28 days in liquid multiplication medium supplemented with NAA (0.5 mg/litre). Maximum microtubers (24) per culture flask were obtained in 10 days when tuberization medium was fortified with 80 g/litre of sucrose while maximum diameter of 0.9 cm was recorded in the presence of growth retardant chlorocholine chloride (500 mg/litre). Complete darkness was an essential factor for microtuber induction. The harvested microtubers (G0) were stored at 4°C after treating them with fungicides.

Published: January 2023

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important crop cultivated in jhum farming (shifting cultivation) practiced in north-east India. However, productivity of maize in jhum is very low due to use of local cultivars and poor management practices. A participatory field trial was conducted in 2015–16 and 2016–17 to assess the impact of high yielding varieties/ cultivars and improved management practices on maize productivity and soil fertility in farmer’s jhum field of Ri- Bhoi District, Meghalaya. Nine cultivars/varieties of maize (Improved cultivars/varieties: Hemant, Vijay Composite, Megha Maize 1, Megha Maize 2, RCM 1-1, RCM 1-3, RCM 75 and local cultivars: SaruTangring and SaruBhoi) were evaluated under improved agronomic management practices (IAMP) and farmers’ practice in a factorial randomized block design. Results revealed that number of seeds per cob, seed weight per cob and seed index were significantly higher under IAMP compared to that of farmers’ practice during both the years. The IAMP produced significantly higher grain and stover yields of maize than farmers’ practice. The maize variety Megha Maize 1 recorded significantly higher grain yield (3.15 and 2.92 t/ha in 2015–16 and 2016–17, respectively) than the rest of varieties/cultivars. The variety RCM 75 (7.13 t/ha) being at par with Megha maize 1 (6.83 t/ha) produced higher stover yield than others in year 2015–16. IAMP recorded significantly higher soil organic carbon, pH and available N, P, K over farmers’ practice after two years. Thus, the study recommends adoption of improved agronomic management practices and high yielding cultivars like Megha Maize 1 and RCM 75 for sustaining soil fertility and enhancing productivity of maize under jhum farming in the north eastern region (NER) of India.

Published: January 2023

Drought and heat stress have become the most prevailing problems for maize (Zea mays L.) crop production. Therefore, development of stress tolerance has become an essential goal in a breeding programme. Hence, an experiment was conducted at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab to identify heat tolerant DH lines in maize during spring season, 2016 and 2017. A total of 32 DH lines were evaluated under heat stress and non-stress conditions. Five stress tolerance indices such as Tolerance Index (TOL), Mean Productivity (MP), Geometric Mean Productivity (GMP), Stress Susceptibility Index (SSI) and Stress Tolerance Index (STI) were calculated based on grain yield under heat stress (Ys) and non-stress conditions (Yp). Grain yield under stress condition showed a negative significant association with TOL and SSI while positive significant correlation with MP, GMP and STI. Similarly, grain yield under non stress condition showed positive significant association with TOL, MP, GMP and STI. Based on two years data and using MP, GMP and STI, DH line DH_4_23 and DH_4_47 were found to be the most heat tolerant. These lines may be used as a potential source for heat stress tolerance and can be further used in heat stress tolerant breeding programme.

Published: January 2023

Present study was carried out during 2018–19 and 2019–20 at ICAR-Directorate of Rapeseed-Mustard Research, Bharatpur, Rajasthan to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (N) and sulphur (S) nutrition on production efficiency, water productivity, and economics of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss.] under irrigated conditions. The experiment was conducted in a split plot design with 5 nitrogen levels (0, 60, 80, 100 and 120 kg/ha) as the main plot treatment and 4 sulphur levels (0, 20, 40, and 60 kg/ha) as subplot treatment with 3 replications. Results revealed that the application of 120 kg N/ha recorded the highest plant height (205 cm), leaf area index (5.4), number of leaves/ plant (47.3), primary branches/plant (6.8), secondary branches/plant (18.9), SCMR (46.5), number of siliquae/plant (382), number of seeds/silique (18), stem girth (6.65 cm), test weight (5.79 g) and seed yield (3.04 t/ha). Among the different S levels, the maximum values of growth and physiological parameters, yield attributes and seed yield were recorded at 60 kg S/ha (2.71 t/ha). Similarly, production efficiency (22.1 kg/ha/day) and water productivity (1.53 kg seed/m3) were found higher than 120 kg N/ha and 60 kg S/ha. The highest net monetary returns and Benefit cost (B: C) ratio were recorded with 120 kg N/ha and 60 kg S/ha.Thus, the application of N and S may be revised to 120 and 60 kg/ha, respectively for Indian mustard in the irrigated semi-arid climates to achieve higher productivity, efficiency and profitability.

Published: January 2023

Not all contemporary innovation is about exploiting digital fabrication or creating wild new forms. By applying a new way of thinking to traditional materials and craft, geometrically simple and innovative structures can be realised that are both elegant and environmentally ethical. Webb Yates, in conjunction with The Stonemasonry Company, has begun to develop a building system that would be a low-energy alternative to more common steel and concrete-framed structures. In this article, we hope to demonstrate how a creative approach to engineering design can utilise stone to exploit its inherent strengths.

Background: Peru has become the leading exporter of table grapes focusing its production in the Piura and Ica regions. However, most of the young vineyards (<5 years) in the Piura region have been showing symptoms of Petri's disease. Objective: To isolate, identify and pathogenicity evaluation of fungi associated with Petri disease. Methodology: Isolates were obtained from necrotic streaks in vascular bundles in plants with symptoms of the Petri disease. Identification was performed with the keys proposed by Mostert, by means of macro and microscopic observations. Pathogenicity tests were also performed by measuring the advancement of the length of the necrotic streak (LNE). Results: By their cultural and microscopic characteristics, the following were identified: Phaeoacremonium spp, P. krajdenii, P. inflatipes, P. parasiticum and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora. All the selected isolates were pathogenic in pathogenicity tests 75 days post inoculation (DPI), being the Phaeoacremonium species the ones that presented higher LNE compared to Pa. chlamydospora, which demonstrates their capacity for colonization of vascular bundles and wood degradation. Implications: The pathogens Phaeoacremonium spp, P. krajdenii, P. inflatipes, P. parasiticum and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora are related to Petri's disease in the Piura-Peru region.

РЕЗЮМЕ
В статье мы представили лингвистические особенности проповеди Католикоса Гарегина Кесабци, который классический пример проповедника. Проповеди Патриарха отличаются убедительностью, христианской верой, патриотическими идеями, богатой лексикой, характерной для риторического стиля, образным языком, разнообразными выразительными средствами, характерными для художественной речи. Язык произведений Его Святейшества Айрапета – литературный западноармянский. В последние годы жизни восточноармянская среда наложила свой отпечаток на речь Гарегина А. Богатый язык его проповедей и описательная лексика соединяют современные литературные восточноармянский и западноармянский языки, способствуя взаимообогащению двух ветвей литературного языка. Мы рассмотрели особенности литературных слов, авторских неологизмов, архаизмов, поэтических и редко используемых слов, терминов, заимствований, а также средства изображений, характерные для художественной речи: наречий и сравнений, метафор, олицетворений и т.д.
SUMMARY
In the article, we presented the linguistic features of the sermon of Catholicos Garegin Kesabtsi, who is a classic example of a preacher. The sermons of the Patriarch are distinguished by persuasiveness, Christian faith, patriotic ideas, rich vocabulary, characteristic of the rhetorical style, figurative language, and various expressive means characteristic of artistic speech. The language of the works of His Holiness Hayrapet is literary Western Armenian. In the last years of his life, the Eastern Armenian environment left its mark on the speech of His Holiness. The rich language of his sermons and descriptive vocabulary connect the modern literary Eastern Armenian and Western Armenian languages, contributing to the mutual enrichment of the two branches of the literary language. We examined the features of literary words, author's neologisms, archaisms, poetic and rarely used words, terms, borrowings, as well as means of images characteristic of artistic speech: adverbs and comparisons, metaphors, personifications, etc.

This study aimed at the effect of spent hydrocarbon contamination on microbial population in soil. Standard microbiological methods were used to determine the total heterotrophic count hydrocarbon utilization, isolation and identification of bacterial and effect of pH and spent hydrocarbon concentration on bacterial. The total heterotrophic bacterial count (THB) ranges from 6.2 ± 0.13 x106 to 3.2± 0.10 x106 cfu/g. The total hydrocarbon utilizing bacterial count ranges from 3.2 ± 0.13 x106 to 1.2± 0.10 x106 cfu/g. The bacterial isolated were Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas flourescens, Klebsiella aerogenes and Proteus hauseri. It was observed that Bacillus subtiliis had the highest occurrence from location E (50.0%). Pseudomonas flourescens from location A and B (33.3%) and Proteus hauseri had the highest occurrence from location C (66.6%). The effect of pH on bacterial growth rate analyzed showed that Bacillus subtilis had the highest turbidity at pH 6.5 (0.511 ± 0.15 nmm), Klebsiella aerogenes had the highest turbidity at pH 7.5 (0.233 ± 0.33nm), Pseudomonas flourescens was at pH 6.5 (0.723 ± 0.61 nm) and Proteus sp recorded highest turbidity at pH 6.5 (0.373 ± 0.22nm) followed by pH 5.5 (0.237 ± 0.19 nm). The effect of spent hydrocarbon concentration showed that Bacillus subtilis recorded highest turbidity at 10% concentration (0.744 ± 0.03 nm), Klebsiella aerogenes recorded highest at 10% concentration (0.321 ± 0.21 nm), Pseudomonas flourescens was at 10% concentration (0.887 ± 0.23 nm) and Proteus sp recorded highest turbidity at 10% concentration (0.378 ± 0.13 nm). From this study it was observed that indigenous bacterial had the ability to utilized the spent hydrocarbon if the pH of the soil is regulated.
