Guayule (Parthenium argentatum, A. Gray) is a perennial desert shrub with ratoon-cropping potential for multiple harvests of its natural rubber, resin, and bagasse byproducts. However, yield expectations, water use requirements, and irrigation scheduling information for ratooned guayule are extremely limited. The objectives of this study were to evaluate dry biomass (DB), contents of rubber (R) and resin (Re) and yields of rubber (RY) and resin (ReY) responses to irrigation treatments, and develop irrigation management criteria for ratooned guayule. The water productivity (WP) of the yield components were also evaluated. Guayule plants that were direct-seeded in April 2018 were ratooned and regrown starting in April 2020, after an initial 2-year harvest at two locations in Arizona: Maricopa and Eloy on sandy loam and clay soils, respectively. Plots were irrigated with subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) at 50, 75, and 100% replacement of crop evapotranspiration (ETc), respectively, and furrow irrigation at 100% ETc replacement, as determined by soil water balance measurements. The Eloy location did not include the 100% irrigation treatment under SDI due to unsuccessful regrowth for this specific treatment. The irrigation treatments at the locations were replicated three times in a randomized complete block design. After 21–22 months of regrowth, the guayule plants were harvested in plots. The results showed that DB increased with the amount of total water applied (TWA, irrigation plus precipitation), while R and Re were reduced at the highest TWA received at both locations. Ultimately, the SDI treatments with 75% ETc replacement resulted in the best irrigation management in terms of maximizing RY and ReY, and WP for both locations and soil types. Compared to the initial 2-year direct-seeded guayule crop, ratooned guayule required less TWA and attained higher DB, RY, and ReY, as well as higher WP, with average increases of 25% in dry biomass, 33% in rubber yield, and 32% in resin yield. A grower’s costs for planting the initial direct-seeded guayule crop would be offset by the additional yield revenue of the ratooned crop, which would have comparatively small startup costs.
Environmental Heterogeneity and Salinity Gradient Impacted the Alpha and Beta Diversities of Diatom Assemblages in a Coastal Delta Wetland

Published: September 2023

The coastal deltas are ecologically diverse and complex ecosystems that can contain different habitat types. The effect of environmental heterogeneity on diatom beta diversity is a poorly understood research topic. Freshwater (floodplain forest, river) and brackish (three lagoons) water bodies in the study area construct distinct environmental heterogeneity at a small spatial scale. The connection of the lagoons with an inland sea caused a high salinity gradient. All water bodies in the wetland were determined as hypereutrophic. CCA, Cluster, ANOSIM, and SIMPER analysis clearly explained the distribution of diatom assemblages according to salinity gradient and environmental heterogeneity. The environmental heterogeneity resulted in the presence of freshwater, brackish, and marine diatom species in the studied wetland. Diatom assemblages generally consist of freshwater species with euryhaline character adapted to wide salinity gradients. We determined the rapid replacement and richness difference in diatom assemblages due to environmental heterogeneity and salinity gradient causes high overall alpha, beta, and gamma diversity. Unlike many other studies, the high beta diversity mainly consists of the richness difference rather than species replacement. The high overall beta diversity showed low similarity between the habitats, while high overall alpha diversity exposed high species diversity at the local scale in the study area.
Experimental Study on Effects of Triggering Modes on Thermal Runaway Characteristics of Lithium-Ion Battery
Authors: Dong Yuanjin , Meng Jian , Sun Xiaomei , Zhao Peidong , Sun Peng , Zheng Bin
Published: September 2023

As an important component of new energy vehicles, the safety of lithium-ion batteries has attracted extensive attention. To reveal the mechanism and characteristics of ternary lithium-ion batteries under different trigger modes, an experimental system was established. The effects of different trigger modes on battery surface temperature, battery internal temperature, injection time, and battery voltage were analyzed. Among them, acupuncture, overheating, and overcharging are used as trigger conditions for mechanical, thermal, and electrical abuse. The results show that the injection time and surface peak temperature are positively correlated with the energy input before thermal runaway. Before the cell triggers abuse, the more input energy, the higher the cell surface temperature, the more serious the thermal runaway, and the higher the damage to the surrounding battery system. Under the same conditions, the intensity and damage degree of overcharge thermal runaway are greater than those of internal short circuit and overtemperature. The abnormal change of voltage suddenly rising and rapidly falling can be used as a condition to judge whether overcharge thermal runaway occurs. Finally, according to the temperature curves at different positions, the thermal diffusion law under different abuse conditions is summarized, which provides a basis for the safety design of the battery module.

Information is provided on the seismicity of the Earth at the level of mb≥6.0 in the 2023 first half, as well as on 97 earthquakes felt on the territory of the Russian Federation according to the to the Alert Service of the Geophysical Survey RAS. For the 14 most severe earthquakes, information messages were publishing within one or two days after their implementation, the parameters of the mechanisms of foci were calculated and given. During the period under review, the strongest earthquakes on the globe with MS=8.0 (Mw=7.8) and MS=7.8 (Mw=7.7) occurred on February 6 in Kahramanmaras Province, Turkey. As a result of these earthquakes, 500 people were killed in Turkey, about 115 thousand were injured, about 10 thousand people were killed in Syria, and more than 10 thousand were injured. On the territory of Russia, the strongest earthquake was on April 3 with mb=6.4 (Mw=6.5) on the east coast of Kamchatka. It was also felt with the greatest intensity of concussions (5-6 points) in the settlements of Russia. The seismic energy released on the globe for the 2023 first half (1.93⋅1017 J) increased relative to similar values for the 2022 first and second half, coming close to the average half-year value for the period 2010-2022 (2.31⋅1017 J).
A neural network expert system that allows assessing the quality of the algorithm for choosing the parameters of optimal removal of low-frequency noise from seismograms using the fingerprint method
Authors: Silkin K.Yu.
Published: September 2023

The article summarizes the results of research on the application of the fingerprint method in seismology. This method can be successfully used in solving various practical problems. We have used it as an effective tool for a thorough analysis of noisy seismograms of regional explosions and earthquakes in order to select the optimal filtering frequency. The cut-off frequency selected with the help of fingerprints will allow you to design an optimal filter that not only reliably suppresses low-frequency noise, but also carefully preserves the signal it hides. Moreover, the method works well when the noise intensity exceeds the signal intensity many times over and under conditions of partial overlap of their frequency ranges. Fundamental is the initial orientation of the method towards automatic implementation with minimal use of additional information. In conclusion, this article proposes to use a neural network expert system that allows you to evaluate the quality of the fingerprint algorithm. To create such a system, we needed to explore current trends in seismology regarding the use of artificial neural networks. Based on extensive worldwide experience, it has been shown that there is a clear renewed interest in the use of small, lowcost networks. The principle on which they are based lies in their perception as training and input data of compact, complexly structured parameters of a high degree of transformation of primary seismograms. It is these parameters that include the characteristics taken from fingerprints using the algorithms we propose. So our experience in creating a neural network expert system naturally turned out to be successful. The reliability of the estimates obtained turned out to be very close to the practical limit of the fingerprint method.
Une littérature féminine ?

Le xixe siècle voit fleurir un vaste marché des manuels et des anthologies scolaires. Discours adressé, les anthologies pour jeunes filles dressent, en creux, des portraits de lectrices et cartographient les relations des femmes à la lecture et à la littérature. Cependant, ces anthologies sont également prises dans un mouvement plus général de « scolarisation » de la littérature. Dès lors, on peut se demander si elles déterminent une littérature féminine et une lecture féminine de la littérature, et jusqu’où le cadre scolaire infléchit (ou non) cette délimitation.

Water Resource Sustainability: Integrated Legislative Approach in Wastewater Management in Malaysia
Authors: Mohd Mahyudin Muhammad Nazrin Harith bin , Kamaruddin Hanim , Sayuti Hassan Muhamad
Published: September 2023

The adoption of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda in 2015, as well as the implementation of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), will mark the eighth year in September 2023. Nonetheless, as we approach the halfway point, our progress in achieving the objectives or goals remains unsatisfactory, not least due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of which is related to the sixth SDG that envisions access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene as the most fundamental requirement for human health and well-being. According to the 2022 SDG report, the global water stress level stayed at an acceptable 18.6% in 2019. However, it was further reported that Southern Asia and Central Asia reported water stress levels of above 75%, whereas Northern Africa reported a serious water stress level of over 100%. Since 2015, water stress levels in Western Asia and Northern Africa have increased dramatically. Unless progress quadruples, billions of people will lack access to potable drinking water and sanitation by 2030 due to rapid population increase, urbanization, and rising water demands from agricultural, industrial, and energy sectors that are driving up water demand. Despite the fact that the world's usable freshwater supply is only about 1%, the problems generally faced are ensuring the continued supply and access to this "liquid gold" regardless of geographical or economic boundaries. Thus, immense interest and development in wastewater initiatives as a source of water and nutrients have gained momentum at national and international levels including in Malaysia. Even though Malaysia receives an abundance of precipitation due to its equatorial location, it is nonetheless susceptible to water security and wastewater management issues. Effective national policies and adequate legislation governing wastewater management are implemented to help achieve sustainable water resources in most countries.

Determinants of Tourist Behavior Post Covid-19 and Their Implications on Future Tourism Intentions
Authors: Anggarawati Sularsih , Fajaryati Hijroini , Risdianto  , Apileslipi
Published: September 2023

Tourism has faced several major health crises in recent decades, in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic. Several researchers have investigated how the crisis affected the tourism industry. Health crises such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) have been regarded as a temporary tourism crisis, having a significant impact on China's and ASEAN's tourism industries (Tran et al., 2020). Aside from SARS, avian influenza has had a significant impact on tourist arrivals in Asia (Kuo et al., 2009). Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) has also been shown in studies to have a negative impact on tourism demand in the European region (Blake et al., 2003). Previous research has focused on dengue fever, Ebola, yellow fever, and malaria outbreaks, with an emphasis on the negative impact on tourist arrivals in affected countries (Novelli et al., 2018; Oduber et al., 2014; Rossello et al., 2017). During this health crisis, changes in tourist behaviour are expected to decrease. Because the COVID-19 pandemic is still in its early stages, there is a need to investigate how travellers behave in response to the pandemic and how it will affect their travel behaviour. Based on these considerations, this study seeks to investigate tourist behaviour following the Covid-19 pandemic and its implications for future travel intentions. In predicting personal behaviour principles, this study employs Ajzen's TPB (1985) concept. The TPB was founded on the theory of rational action (TRA) and included additional predictors such as perceived behavioural control and subjective attitudes and norms. As a result, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control are well-established predictors of behavioural intention. Because TPB has been widely used in fields such as psychology, marketing, and tourism, to name a few, other researchers have attempted to incorporate risk predictors into models in order to increase their explanatory power (Han et al., 2010).

Psychological Empowerment and Entrepreneurial Orientation for Women-Owned SMEs: Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Kadiyono Anissa Lestari , Fathoni Cahyono Aryo Bima
Published: September 2023

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are the backbone of advancing the Indonesian economy, which slumped during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the mapping of MSME players in Indonesia from the data of the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS), it is known that 64.5% of MSME players are women. This figure shows that women/mothers are empowered and play a significant role in their economy, families, and even the country. In the end, a gender perspective is essential so that the interventions that can be provided do not exclude women from being recipients or subjects only but view women as agents or crucial actors to advance the economy, society, and culture. Some strategies must be considered to help women become more successful business owners. These include turning informal businesses into formal ones, moving into the supply chain, making digital technology more up-to-date, and getting more women to start businesses that make money. Of course, this requires increasing human resource capacity, training, mentoring, access to financing facilities, legal aid facilities, information, and others, to develop together. The high growth of women's businesses will positively impact economic recovery. However, with the development of economic conditions, the number of MSMEs will increase, and the competition will be higher. In the process, women who can take advantage of the situation and have consistency and confidence in their abilities will be able to move forward more quickly than those who do not have these abilities. This capacity is called psychological Empowerment. Women's psychological Empowerment is the ability of women to have life choices, one of which is making a practical decision about the business or entrepreneurship that is being undertaken to reduce social and economic barriers (Digan et al., 2019). Psychological Empowerment has three dimensions: competence, self-determination, and meaningful impact perceptions.

Published: September 2023

Formal education is popular and taken seriously by parents (Agozino & Anyanike, 2007). However, there is also a strong desire among the Igbos to ensure that their male children learn one form of trade or another hence the interest in the Igbo apprenticeship system (IAS). The main emphasis of the system is to reduce poverty through the aggregation of enhanced opportunities for all, given their beliefs that every child belongs to the local communities and the communities make sure that the children are successful and prosper (Ekekwe, 2021). This system of apprenticeship has been long-standing practice whereby poor parents send their children/wards to live with wealthy or successful traders/businessmen and the wealthy entrepreneurs train the children in the rudiments of their business or profession (Agozino & Anyanike, 2007). In some circumstances, wealthy entrepreneurs during some of their trips to their villages or towns, pick some orphaned children (typically boys) of children from indigent families to train to give them meaningful lives. Generally, the aim of and the belief in the IAS is that the wards/children would be trained in the business (es) of the entrepreneurs and invariably the wards/children will be established in similar businesses at the end of the time agreed on at the start of the process. In addition, the masters also extend credit facilities to their graduates.

Examining the Purchase Intention of Generation Z towards Organic Food: An Empirical Study in Vietnam
Authors: Mai Nguyen Phuong , Phan Bao Trung , Luu Thi-Minh-Ngoc
Published: September 2023

As Vietnam is a densely populated country with stable economic growth and rising concern for environmental problems in these recent years, demand for organic food is increasing. This study explores the purchase intention of Vietnamese generation Z (Gen Z) towards organic food. We extended the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) with three specific pro-environmental factors that are health consciousness, environmental concern, and knowledge of organic food to investigate the purchase intention of Gen Z. A self-administered online survey was conducted in the three largest cities including Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City. After three months, 426 valid responses were received for data analysis. Linear regression analysis was run in SPSS software to test the proposed hypotheses. Research findings show that attitude has the most substantial influence on purchase intention of Gen Z, then followed by health consciousness, subjective norms, and lastly, personal norms. Notably, environmental concern and knowledge of organic food do not necessarily affect Gen Z's purchase intention. Our findings suggest that related stakeholders in the organic food market adjust their production and marketing tactics to attract Gen Z better.

Assessing the Level of Financial Sovereignty of Countries
Authors: Gospodarchuk Galina , Zeleneva Elena , Kolesnikov Dmitry
Published: September 2023

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of strategic documents covering the financial development of countries. These include Corporate Plan 2021–25 (ASIC, 2021), Strategic Planning 2013-2023 (CVM, 2013), Business Plan 2021-2022 (FCA, 2021), Digitalisation Strategy 2018-2023 (BaFin's, 2018), Strategic Plan 2020-2024 (DG FISMA, 2020), etc. However, an analysis of the content of these documents shows that the strategic management of financial development of these countries does not take into account such an important component as ensuring financial sovereignty. This is due to the fact that so far there has not been any proposals of theoretical ideas about the essence and content of this term, as well as no methodological approaches to its analysis, and evaluation. Studies on the sovereignty of countries are presented in only three areas: technological sovereignty, food sovereignty, and energy sovereignty. Financial sovereignty, as a kind of common sovereignty of countries, remains outside the scope of research. Meanwhile, the term "Financial sovereignty" is increasingly used in the rhetoric of public administration, which determines the relevance of scientific research in this direction. The desire to contribute to the development of a theoretical and methodological basis for the analysis and assessment of the financial sovereignty of countries served as the motivation of this study and determined its purpose - the development of the concept of analysis and assessment of financial sovereignty.

The food processing industry has a significant impact on the socioeconomic development of a nation. The total output of Indian food processing may touch $535 billion by 2025-2026. About 1.77 million people are employed in the Indian food industry (IBEF, 2022). However, the food processing industry in India is facing numerous challenges, including a lack of food quality, inadequate supply chain infrastructure, food waste, greenhouse gas emissions, and so on (Kumar et al., 2020; Sharma et al., 2019). These challenges are interrelated with each other and pose a significant threat to sustainability. Considering this background, this study aims to identify and analyse the interrelationships among the challenges associated with sustainability in the Indian food processing industry and then to prioritise those challenges. Additionally, this study also classifies those challenges based on driving and dependence power. The authors identified eleven challenges associated with sustainability in the Indian food processing industry with the help of a literature review. Then based on expert opinion, the interpretive structural modelling (ISM) was employed to determine the interrelationships among the challenges, and finally, a prioritisation order for those challenges was established. ISM is a methodology for identifying the interrelationships and modelling the challenges, especially while dealing with complex issues (Attri et al., 2013). Further, Matrices d'Impacts Croises Multiplication Appliqué a un Classement (Cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification) (MICMAC) analysis was also carried out to categorise the challenges according to the driving and dependence power.

Does Institutional Ownership Influence Construction Firms In Malaysia On Tax Avoidance?
Authors: Banchit Azilawati , Abidin Sazali Zainal , Mosses Ejau Kelly Armira
Published: September 2023

The study aims to investigate whether institutional ownership influences tax avoidance behavior among the listed construction firms in Malaysia. Whilst tax avoidance is legal as the amount paid to the Government is reduced within the law, it is still a risky activity which can eventually increase the costs of the firms (Badertscher, Katz, & Rego, 2013). This is explained in the context of agency theory where firms may use debt for tax avoidance in terms of reducing the tax, but institutional ownerships tend to also incur costs by imposing control on firms to avoid tax. Construction sector becomes the focus of study as there are numerous reports that advocate the sector being high in risk for evading tax payments (HM Revenue & Customs, 2020). It is interesting to also note how the ownership level may also impact the outcome of the study considering that developing markets, such as Malaysia is usually concentrated as opposed to those in the developed countries.

In travel and tourism, traveling by road is a popular means of transportation. In recent years, tourism development strategies and the creation of themed routes as tourist attractions have gained traction (Božić & Tomić, 2016). Transportation is not only an essential part of tourism infrastructure, but it is also an essential prerequisite for promoting tourism development. Self-drive tourism refers to people traveling from origins to destinations in their own or rented cars while engaging in tourism-related activities anywhere along the way (Prideaux et al., 2001). It is one of the major subsectors of the tourism industry that has benefited from the advancement of the road transportation system (Buckley & Ollenburg, 2012). For a long time, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on the global travel and tourism industry (Kim et al., 2021). Several countries, particularly those with a high tourism intensity, are now restoring their tourism industries through different recovery strategies. However, with the continuation of the COVID-19, private vehicles may now be positioned as temporarily safer modes of transportation (Butler et al., 2021). Building on this proposition, self-drive tourism may provide exceptional platforms for achieving well-being improvements, especially in light of the constraints and anxieties caused by COVID-19, which remains endemic.

Published: September 2023

Supervision is an integral part of counselor development and is a requirement for training according to licensing boards, credentialing agencies, professional organizations code of ethics, and the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). With the expectation of supervision by these entities, universities and counselor training programs must require students to be actively engaged in supervision while learning to become counselors. Instructions for supervision are clearly articulated in policies and procedures of that counselors must follow (ACA, 2014; CACREP, 2016; Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors, 2013) including qualifications for supervisors, sexual relationships, frequency of supervision, gatekeeping, and remediation, etc. While the guidelines for supervision are clearly stated, there are no expectations for how supervision is to be presented. The how of supervision is left to the selection of the supervisor including structure, focus, procedures, framework, model, expectations, etc.

The issue of determining the subjects of legal liability for harm caused by artificial intelligence: analysis of solutions
Authors: Balalaeva Yulia
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Introduction. The current processes of digitalization, the development and implementation of artificial intelligence have an impact on many spheres of public life. Law is no exception. The danger emanating from artificial intelligence, associated with technical failures, errors, machine learning defects, causes a high probability of harm to legally protected public relations. In this regard, the issues of legal liability are becoming acute.

The purpose of the research is to study the issue of determining the subjects of legal liability for harm caused by artificial intelligence, to analyze ways to solve it.

Research methods. The author used the dialectical method of cognition, a set of general scientific methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction), as well as a number of special methods of cognition (formal legal, comparative legal, systemic, functional).

Results. As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that today artificial intelligence cannot act as an independent subject of legal liability due to the fact that it is a technology, the implementation and its use needs legal regulation. Artificial intelligence is considered as an object of legal regulation. Only individuals and legal entities that ensure its functioning can be brought to legal liability for the damage caused by artificial intelligence. The idea of endowing artificial intelligence with legal personality, which is popular in science today, leads away from real issues that need to be solved to ensure its development and large-scale use. The author suggests focusing on those forms of artificial intelligence that surround us at the moment, and considering theoretical and practical issues as applied to them. Not only robotic devices can act as such forms, but also various programs (software) that do not have a cyber-physical shell.
Self-inspection as a new legal means of protecting consumer rights and enhancing the reputational status of entrepreneurs
Authors: Kostina Kseniya
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the procedure of self-inspection on compliance with mandatory requirements of consumer protection legislation as a recently introduced into law enforcement practice preventive means and the impact of its results on the reputation of entrepreneurs In order to improve the competitiveness of goods, works (services) in the consumer market and prevent possible violations, self-inspection of sellers of goods and performers of works (services) becomes especially important and allows to identify their strengths and weaknesses through internal audit before the state control (supervision) bodies point out and take appropriate measures. The purpose of the work is to analyse the peculiarities of implementation by business entities of self-investigation on consumer protection issues.

Methods. The study uses a systematic approach, as well as methods of interpretation of legal norms, analysis and synthesis. The use of these methods in the study allowed us to consider the mechanism of self-inspection as part of the system of prevention of violations of mandatory requirements of the business community, to identify the features of interaction with other elements of the system, as well as to form a holistic view of it.

Research results. The author proposes a scientific concept of self-inspection in the sphere under consideration (internal economic self-control). It is concluded that for the development of self-inspection as a preventive legal means it is necessary to expand its toolkit. The introduction of additional forms of selfcontrol is proposed.
Emotional intelligence, success and psychological adaptability to the environment as factors in ensuring the effectiveness of social management
Authors: Astaficheva Elena
Published: September 2023

Abstract: The problems of emotional intelligence (emotional quotient, EQ), success and psychological adaptability to the environment in the complex and systemic integrity are important factors in ensuring the effectiveness of social administration. The modern form of social administration involves the factors of emotional leadership and emotion management, including the ability to connect with people, inspire and encourage them, keep them highly motivated and achieve the development and prosperity of the social organisation as a whole. The concept of «emotional intelligence» is closely related to the categories of «social success» and «psychological adaptability to the environment». The latter two factors should be interpreted as a consequence of sufficient development of emotional intelligence of a fully developed person. People due to objective reasons have different levels of EQ. Following this, they are differentiated as either socially successful or not socially successful, adaptive or not susceptible to the mechanisms of psychological adaptation to the environment. This differentiation is partly a genetic predisposition of a person to manifest organisational abilities and leadership qualities, but no less important are the purposeful and organised efforts of people to learn, develop and self-improve their emotional and intellectual qualities. In social management it is of particular importance, because it significantly affects the effectiveness of interaction between objects and subjects of administration, thus creating a favourable emotional climate in the team or, on the contrary, contributing to the rise of negative, pessimistic and emotionally unstable moods in the managed community.

Research methods. When studying the problems of emotional intelligence, success and psychological adaptability to the environment, the author used a wide range of methods of cognition, which are developed and tested by modern socio-psychological science. Among them there are analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, observation, survey, method of analysing documents and results of social activity.

Results. As a result, the author proposes a number of theoretical and methodological constructs and practical guidelines for social managers, which enable them to take into account the emotional content of administratively significant information, to maintain a proper sensual atmosphere of communication, to minimise socio-psychological conflictogens and to suppress unconstructive interaction between people.

We have investigated electronic structures and thermoelectric properties on six quintuple layers of Cr-doped Bi2Se3 as a model of quantized anomalous Hall insulator, Chern insulator. The Chern insulator might be a good transverse thermoelectric material exhibiting a large anomalous Nernst effect by the intrinsic contribution of anomalous Hall effect and large Seebeck effect. Based on rigid band approximation, we have performed first-principles density functional calculations of carrier-dependent anomalous Nernst coefficients. To optimize thermoelectric performance, we discussed the origin of the anomalous Nernst effect, divided into contributions from pure Nernst and Seebeck terms. We found the significant contribution of the Seebeck term in Cr-doped Bi2Se3.

High-speed growth of thick, high-purity β-Ga2O3 homoepitaxial layers on (010) β-Ga2O3 substrates by low-pressure hot-wall metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy was investigated using trimethylgallium (TMGa) as the Ga precursor. When the reactor pressure was 2.4–3.4 kPa, the growth temperature was 1000 °C, and a high input VI/III (O/Ga) ratio was used, the growth rate of β-Ga2O3 could be increased linearly by increasing the TMGa supply rate. A thick layer was grown at a growth rate of 16.2 μm h−1 without twinning. Incorporated impurities were not detected, irrespective of the growth rate, demonstrating the promising nature of β-Ga2O3 growth using TMGa.

As the use of electricity and electric equipments is increasing, electric burn has become a cause of mortality and morbidity. Amputaion of the upper
or lower limb as a consequence of an electric burn has profound impact on a patient's life. Aretrospective study was conducted on the electric burn
amputee patients at Pacic Institute of Medical Sciences, Udaipur from August 2017 to July 2022 to identify the important risk factors leading to
this devasting consequence. Our study concluded that 31-40 yrs age (57.5%), rural (77.5%), male (95%) and farmers (70%) were the groups at most
risk. High voltage electric burn (92.5%), delayed fasciotmy (37.5%) and myonecrosis (65%) were the major predisposing factors associated with
amputation. Education and awareness of safe use of electricity, early fasciotomy of appropriate candidates and aggressive management is the key to
salvaging limb and improving outcome in electric burn patients.

Background: Flupentixol decanoate is one of the most widely used depot antipsychotics in the UK. The solution to poor compliance is depot
medication where medication is given by injection and is slowly released over a period of weeks. For people with schizophrenia, it was hoped to be
able to maintain care in the community with regular injections. The common adverse effect of upentixol deaconate is hypotension after its
administration. Methods:We report the case of a 35-year-old female diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder with poor drug compliance who was
started on long acting upentixol deaconate. Results: Our patient presented with an episodic illness with stable decit of 12-year duration with
current episode for 2 months with insidious onset characterized by elated mood, auditory hallucinations, delusion of persecution, delusion of love,
delusion of grandiosity and disinhibitory behaviour. The patient was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. Since the patient was living alone
and has poor treatment compliance, she was started on long acting upentixol 20mg i/m, increase to 40mg i/m in next 10 days and 60mg i/m in
further 15 days. It was noted that baseline blood pressure would be 132/82 mmHg but 2 hours after injection it would go up to 172/108 and would
come back to base line after 6-7 hours of the injection on its own. Conclusion: We present the rare nding of hypertension induced as a result of
injecting long acting Flupentixol in patient with schizoaffective disorder. Injection long acting upentixol is known to cause hypotension due to its
alpha-adrenergic blocking property but in our case, it has led to hypertension instead of hypotension after every injection
BREAST TISSUE IN MATURE OVARIAN TERATOMA – AN INTRIGUING CASE
Authors: Rajiv Patkar Rakesh , Mishra Shilpa
Published: September 2023

Mature teratoma is the most common ovarian tumor occurring in the reproductive age group. It constitutes 20% of all ovarian tumors and 95% of
all ovarian germ cell tumors. It's a benign tumor of the ovary composed of mature tissue representing at least 2 embryonic layers (ectoderm,
mesoderm or endoderm). Ectodermal tissue is the most common component, and may include squamous epithelium, sebaceous glands, hair
follicles, brain tissue. Although much has been published about ovarian teratomas, in English literature, there are very few reports describing breast
tissue in mature teratomas. Breasts are considered an epidermal gland, which develops as diverticula of epidermis into dermis. Here we present the
case of a 30-year-old female with a right ovarian cyst. The cystectomy specimen was a solid cystic mass with pultaceous material, grey white areas
and few hair shafts. On microscopy the impression was teratoma, mature. Breast parenchyma with ducts with intact myoepithelial layer and
bromyxoid/ collagenous stroma was noted. This case highlights the presence of an unusual nding of mammary gland tissue in a mature cystic
teratoma
THE USE OF GUIDED BONE REGENERATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF BUCCAL RIDGE DEFECT DURING SECOND STAGE IMPLANT SURGERY FOLLOWING AN IMMEDIATE IMPLANT PLACEMENT- A CASE REPORT

Adequate bone volume is one of the prerequisites for the successful implantation and osseointegration of an endosseous implant. Where there are
localized osseous abnormalities, xture stability and appropriate location for load distribution and aesthetics may be jeopardized. This case report
presents a case of a 23 years old male patient who had undergone immediate implant placement following a two-stage protocol in relation to
mandibular rst molar on the right side. During second stage implant surgery, it was revealed that there was presence of a buccal bony deformity
extending from the mid buccal aspect to the distobuccal aspect of the implant. This bone defect was subsequently managed with placement of
alloplastic bone material and a resorbable barrier membrane. The healing was uneventful and at 3 months postoperatively, bone regeneration was
achieved and successful osseointegration had been obtained around the implant. Thus, it can be concluded that placement of a bone graft material
along with a barrier membrane can provide a predictable outcome for regeneration of bone and achieving osseointegration around an implant.

Anti phospholipid syndrome (APS)is an autoantibody mediated acquired thrombophilia charecterized by recurrent arterial or venous thrombosis
and /or pregnancy morbidity. APS may occur alone (Primary) or (secondary) in association with other autoimmune diseases mainly systemic lupus
erythematoses (SLE).the major autoantibodies detected are against the negatively charged phospho lipids and/ or Beta 2 GP1, cardiolipin, lupus
anticoagulant and pro thrombin. We are reporting one young woman with digital gangrene, arthritis, livedoid rash, and history of early pregnancy
loss. Based on history and clinical examination we suspected this as a case of autoimmune disease and subjected her for further investigations. The
subsequent investigations showed Positive some auto antibodies (anti ds DNA, sm-B, RNP-A, RNP-C and anti Histone) which were suggestive of
patient had Systemic Lupus Erythematosis(SLE).

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) represents about 10-15% of all lung cancers and has high proliferative rate, strong predilection for
early metastasis and poor prognosis. Clinically, this is highly aggressive malignancy is characterized by rapid growth and early metastasis. Most
patients (65%) have metastatic disease at diagnosis, with only one-third having earlier-stage disease. Most of the available literatures on lung
cancer are mainly on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Clinical data on SCLC are scarce in literature. This study was done to report clinical
features and treatment outcome of Extensive stage SCLC treated at our centre.
Objectives:
1. To evaluate clinical characteristics of Extensive stage SCLC.
2. To know the impact of patient characteristics and types of chemotherapy on survival.
Material & Methods: This is a single institutional data review of biopsy proven 115 Extensive stage SCLC patients treated at Madras medical
college, Chennai, Tamil Nadu between March 2013 and December 2020. Patient's Demographical characteristics, treatment details were
retrospectively reviewed from patient's registry. Patients who received at least one cycle of chemotherapy were included for survival analysis as
intent-to-treat analysis. The Cox proportional-hazard model was used in the univariate analysis to detect outcome differences between groups.
Survival analysis was done by plotting Kaplan–Meier curves. Median age is 60.1 ye Results: ars and most are males (108). About 55.6% patients
present with poor PS 3. Smoking history is noted in 95.7% (n = 110) and 15.7% (n = 18) of patients had symptom of superior vena cava obstruction
at baseline. Cough is the most common symptom, noted in 86 patients (74.8%). Bone is the most common site of metastasis (34%), followed by
liver (30.5%), lung (24.4%), nodal, adrenal and brain metastasis. 110 patients received chemotherapy, Carbo only (6), carbo-eto (45), cis-eto (59).
32 patients (27.8%) had progressive/recurrent disease. After a median follow-up of 10 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.3
months, median overall survival (OS) was 10 months. Signicant difference between cis-eto and carbo+eto in terms of PFS and OS was seen.
Conclusions: Signicant difference between cis-eto and carbo+eto in terms of PFS and OS was seen. Even though SCLC is highly sensitive to
chemotherapy, future studies are required regarding role of maintenance and genomic proling to see any targets or prognosticate patients with
SCLC.
