Published: May 2024

An experiment was conducted to study the efficacy of three sprayers, namely spinning disc type low volume sprayer, hand compression sprayer and air assisted power sprayer in controlling some commonly found pests in paddy crop. The spray characteristics revealed that the ratio of VMD to NMD was near to unity (1.06) in case of low volume sprayer followed by 1.33 in hand compression sprayer and 1.39 in power sprayer with a droplet density of 37.67, 25.67 and 21.0 numbers/cm2. The efficacy of the power sprayer in  controlling the stem borer (Dead Heart), stem borer (White Ear Head), Leaf Folder Damaged Leaf (LFDL), Whorl Maggot (WM), White Back Plant Hopper (WBPH) and Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than low volume sprayer and hand compression sprayer with damage control of 82.90, 59.20, 88.25, 87.85 75.30 and 92.40% respectively. Damage control of Gall Midge (Silver Shoot) did not vary significantly between power sprayer (15.30%) and hand compression sprayer (13.05%). The low volume sprayer and hand compression sprayer were found equally good to control White Ear Head (53.76% and 52.60%) and Whorl Maggot (72.45% and 68.85%). The field capacities of the sprayers were 0.08, 0.1 1 and 0.30 hah in low volume sprayer, hand compression sprayer and power sprayer respectively. The cost of spraying was found to be Rs. 65.00, Rs. 114.00 and Rs. 134.00lha in low volume sprayer, hand compression sprayer and power sprayer respectively.

Authors: P Panigrahi  , A K Srivastava  , A D Huchche
Published: May 2024

The loss of abundant runoff and soil during the rainy season (June-September) followed by sub-optimal available soil moisture at root zone of the plants during critical growth stages during post-monsoon is one of the major causes of low productivity and declining of Nagpur mandarin orchards in central India. A study was conducted during 2003-2007 to evaluate the effects of different in situ soil and water conservation treatments on one year old Nagpur mandarin (Citrus reticulata blanco). All conservation treatments (continuous bunding, continuous trenching, and staggered trenching between rows) were effective in reducing loss of runoff, soil and nutrients, and imparted a favourable response on vegetative growth, fruit yield and quality as compared to the control. Continuous trenching gave the best response conserving 28.4% runoff, 24.9% soil loss, 42.6% N, 45.8% P, and 47.6% K over control, besides 29.2% higher fruit yield (9.60 kg/plant). Among different fruit quality parameters (TSS, juice percentage and acidity), juice percentage and TSS were significantly higher in continuous trenching over control.

“The Aesthetics of Sensations in Mexican Electronic Art” addresses the study of the origins of electronic art in Mexico, the differences between contemporary art, electronic art, and digital art. It takes a turn to dwell on the analysis of the fundamentals in the processes of creation with a focus on the processes of Mexican electronic artists. It also studies the role of the interaction of the public in the artistic works of electronic art and how, due to the interaction, it is possible to induce a certain range of emotions in the user. In such a way that it becomes necessary to establish thematic categories in Mexican electronic art and its works, due to the existence of an interrelation between emotions and interaction. Therefore, we have created a model for the induction of emotions to contribute to the understanding of this branch of contemporary art and its didactics, both inside and outside educational institutions. “The Aesthetics of Sensations in Mexican Electronic Art” is a book for art lovers, as well as for novice and experienced artists who wish to implement conscious strategies in their artistic production processes. “The Aesthetics of Sensations in Mexican Electronic Art” is the author’s ninth book on creation processes focused on electronic art, digital art and design.

On some properties of $\mathcal{I}^\mathcal{K}_{sn}$-topological spaces
Authors: Sharmah Ankur , Hazarika Debajit
Published: May 2024

In this paper, we introduce the notion of I^K_sn-open set and show that the family of I^K_sn-open sets in a topological space forms a topology. The category of I^K-neighborhood spaces is introduced and several properties are obtained there after. Moreover, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the coincidence of the notions ``preserving I^K-convergence'' and `` I^K-continuity'' for any mapping defined on $X$. Several mappings that are defined on a topological space are shown to be coincident in an I^K-sequential space. The entire investigation is performed in the setting of I^K-convergence which further extends the recentdevelopments [11,13,1].

Various methods have been proposed for cervical ripening. Due to conflicting results and significant heterogenisity among previous studies, we designed a randomized clinical trial to find out wether concomitant use of Misorostol and extra-amnitic saline infusion (EASI) would lead to better outcomes or not. Ninety term pregnant women were randomly assigned to three different groups of ripening methods: vaginal misoprostol, EASI, and concomitant use of both. Time interval to reach a bishop score of five (primary outcome), time interval to amniotic membranes rupture and delivery rate, delivery route, need to oxytocin infusion, fetal distress associated cesarean delivery, meconium staining, and 1st and 5th minute Apgar scores were study outcomes.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic CD8+ T-cell lymphoma: A case report
Authors:   Lozano Blesa University Clinical Hospital, Zaragoza, Spain., Sopena Lucia
Published: May 2024

Primary Cutaneous Aggressive Epidermotropic CD8+ T-Cell Lymphoma (PCAETCL), a rare subtype of Primary Cutaneous Lymphoma (PCL), is known for its aggressive clinical course and refractoriness to standard treatments. Clinically, PCAETCL often presents with skin lesions that rapidly disseminate to various extracutaneous sites, resulting in a grim prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of less than 40%. This article presents a case of a 43-year-old male patient initially diagnosed with CD8+ cytotoxic Mycosis Fungoides (MF). The patient’s treatment course involved multiple therapeutic modalities, including methotrexate, bexarotene, gemcitabine, peginterferon alfa 2a, and radiation therapy. Despite several lines of treatment, disease progression persisted. Eventually, the patient underwent allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (allo-HSCT) from his sister, marking a turning point in his therapeutic approach. The case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with PCAETCL. It shows the heterogeneous responses found in literature, ranging from brief remissions to unfavorable outcomes, including severe infections. This highlights the lack of standardized treatment protocols for PCAETCL, with HSCT, both allogeneic and autologous, emerging as potential options for achieving prolonged responses. In conclusion, PCAETCL remains a rare and aggressive clinical entity with no established standard treatment. This case report illustrates the aggressive nature of the disease and the importance of individualized treatment approaches, including transplantation. Collaborative research efforts are crucial to enhance our understanding of PCAETCL, identify prognostic factors, and develop more effective therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.

Need for Comprehensive Attention to Epilepsy as a Health Problem
Authors: del Busto Juan Enrique Bender ,   Philosopher Doctor, Second Degree Specialist in Neurology, Full Professor and Researcher, International Center of Neurological Restoration (CIREN), Havana, Cuba.
Published: May 2024

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases, affecting between 50 and 65 million people of all ages, races, social classes, and geographic locations [1,3]. It is considered by some authors that around 8% of the general population will suffer an epileptic seizure throughout their life [4]. In addition to the recurrence of epileptic seizures, the underlying cause and the adverse effects of treatment have neurological, cognitive, psychological and social consequences that significantly affect the quality of life of those affected and make the disease a complex nosographic entity and, therefore [1], a global public health problem, which requires adequate attention [5].
Duration of Breastfeeding and the Risk of Diarrheal Illness in Children Below Age of 2 Years in South Africa, 2016: A CrossSectional Study
Authors:   Epidemiology and Surveillance Section, National Institute for Occupational Health, National Health Laboratory Services, 25 hospital St, Construction Hill, Braamfontein, South Africa., Ssekandi Nathan
Published: May 2024

Background: Childhood diarrheal illness is a threat to public health in relation to child health. The prevalence is high in regions like South Asia and Sub-Saharan regions. These regions contribute to over three-quarters of the diarrheal illness cases in the world. However, there has been evidence on how the duration of breastfeeding reduces the risk of childhood diarrheal illness in infants. Aim: To explore the impact of the duration of breastfeeding on the occurrence of childhood diarrheal illness in a sample of children below the age of 2 years in South Africa, 2016. Methods: A cross-sectional study was employed that used secondary data for analysis from the South Africa Demography and Health Surveys, 2016. Six Hundred and Sixty-one participants that were mother-child pairs were used in the final study. Frequency and distribution were used to describe the study population baseline characteristic. Bivariate and multivariate were used to find the relationship between diarrheal illness and other factors (vaccination, rotavirus vaccine etc.). Poisson regression was used to find the predictors of diarrheal illness. Results: The prevalence of childhood diarrheal illness was 13.2% (n=87) for breastfeeding infants. Multivariate analysis showed that the duration of breastfeeding is associated with childhood diarrheal illness (RR:2.34: 95% CL: 1.11-4.94 p=0.03). Chi-square was employed, and it showed a significant interaction between the duration of breastfeeding and diarrheal illness ((X2 (2) = 8.06, p<.05) and therefore null hypothesis was rejected. The age of a child and the duration of breastfeeding were the only significant variables in the study, and the rest were not significant. Conclusion: The longer the duration of breastfeeding, the more the child suffers from a diarrheal illness. Breastfeeding alone does not prevent diarrheal illness among infants, so more exploration in future is required to verify factors that are associated with breastfeeding in the prevention of diarrheal such as the biological nature of the child and the mother’s milk content. More emphasis on health education concerning breastfeeding and diarrheal illness with mainly targeting the rural areas.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history and rich experience in treating Heart Failure (HF), with good clinical effect and little side effects. Saponins, as one of the active substances in TCM, have a variety of pharmacological activities, wide sources and low toxicity, and their functions can not be ignored. Further research on the role of saponins in the treatment of HF found that saponins have the advantages of multi-level, multi-target and multi-channel comprehensive regulation effects, which has important research and development value in the treatment of HF. Through the analysis and summary of the related literatures on the mechanism of treating HF with saponins, it is found that saponins can improve heart function mainly by inhibiting inflammatory reaction, regulating energy metabolism disorder, resisting myocardial ischemia, inhibiting myocardial apoptosis and other ways. The purpose of this paper is to further explore the mechanism of saponin in treating different HF, and to provide further ideas and references for the research and drug development and application of TCM in preventing and treating HF.

Epilepsy is a serious neurological disorder that can greatly impact a person’s quality of life and even result in disability. Unfortunately, despite the use of various antiepileptic drugs, more than 30% of patients develop a form of the disease that is resistant to medication, leaving surgery as the only treatment option. In order to better understand and potentially treat epilepsy, there has been a focus on the role of glial mechanisms and the potential for pathogenetic treatment. Specifically, researchers have looked at the expression of cytoskeletal proteins, such as Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and vimentin, in nervous tissue. Our study examined the expression of these proteins in the hippocampus of patients with different types of hippocampal sclerosis and Drug-Resistant Epilepsy (DRE). We found a significant increase in the expression of GFAP and vimentin in these structures, suggesting a potential role in the development of reactive gliosis. However, we did not find any correlations between these proteins in all areas studied. This suggests that the activation of these cytoskeletal proteins may occur independently and ultimately contribute to the development of reactive gliosis. These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of epilepsy and may help improve diagnostic and treatment approaches.

Hydrodynamics and shape reconstruction of single rising air bubbles in water using high-speed tomographic particle tracking velocimetry and 3D geometric reconstruction

Time-resolved tomographic particle tracking velocimetry (TR-3D-PTV), also called 4D-PTV, is used here to obtain the instantaneous 3D liquid flow field information in the wake of a single rising bubble in water. Simultaneously the bubble shape, size and velocity are determined by tomographic reconstruction of the 3D bubble shape. Both, tracer particles for PTV and bubbles are imaged in a shadow mode with background illumination. The Lagrangian method used in this paper, especially combined with the shake the box algorithm (STB), has big advantages compared to particle image velocimetry (PIV), in situations, where only low particle per pixel (ppp) values can be obtained. In this research, single air bubbles of different sizes, with diameters of around 2.4 mm, 4.0 mm, 6.0 mm and 9.6 mm, were injected into stagnant de-ionized water. Their shape was reconstructed in 3D and an equivalent bubble diameter was determined from this reconstruction. Compared to conventionally used 2D shadow imaging, this diameter is about 13% smaller. The 3D bubble trajectory can be analysed and decomposed into a sinusoidal function curve lateral projection and an ellipsoidal shape vertical projection. As the bubble diameter increases, the radius of the spiral trajectory is decreasing, as well as the amplitude of vertical sinusoidal oscillation. The wake structure in the liquid behind the bubbles is also changing with bubble size: from simple vortex pairs for smaller bubbles, to an intertwined structure of several twisted vortices for the bigger ones.

Lensless Particle Image Velocimetry

The application of lensless imaging to particle image velocimetry (PIV) is demonstrated. Lensless PIV eliminates the need for imaging lenses to measure flow fields near a surface. Only the camera sensor, a thin mask, and computations are required to image particles in a flow field and to compute the velocity field. The small form factor could enable embedded sensors for near-wall measurements. Flow field measurements are obtained simultaneously for a lensless system and lens-based 2D PIV system, and several different reconstruction techniques are demonstrated. The reconstructed particle images and computed velocity fields compare well for both a uniform and shear flow. The potential for stereo and 3D volumetric PIV with a single camera sensor is demonstrated through different image reconstruction approaches.

Do High School Industry Certifications Reflect Local Labor Market Demand? An Examination of Florida
Authors: Dalton Ben , Glennie Elizabeth , Studley Roger , Warkentien Siri , Lauff Erich
Published: May 2024

Industry-recognized credentials, or certifications, provide one path to match people with jobs effectively. Certifications are nationally recognized, standardized credentials created by businesses and industry groups to demonstrate proficiency in skills related to specific jobs. State
education systems increasingly provide students the opportunity to earn certifications in secondary school. In this study, we examine whether local labor market demand for certifications is associated with the likelihood of earning a certification in high school. Using comprehensive administrative
data on a cohort of first-time ninth graders from the state of Florida, which has legislation encouraging certification attainment in high school, we find limited evidence for a relationship between certification demand and certification earning. However, high school students are more likely
to earn certifications in some fields, such as health science, when local labor market demand for those certifications is high.

Authors: Hamad Abdullah Ashraf , Jaradat Jaber H. , Alsalhi Hamza K. , Alkhawaldeh Ibraheem M
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Language barriers in medicine can hinder effective communication, comprehension, and patient care. While English has emerged as the dominant language in global medicine, the importance of native languages should not be overlooked. This article aims to examine the extent of publishing in native languages by analyzing the PubMed database literature to gain further insights into the usage of native languages in medicine and medical research.

Methods: In December 2023, a comprehensive examination of the PubMed literature was conducted for each of the 55 registered languages. We searched for records published in each language (e.g., German[lang]) by applying language filters. Ethnologue provided data on the number of worldwide native speakers for each language, facilitating a comparative analysis.

Results: By December 2023, PubMed contained over 36 million publications, with 86.5% of them published in English. German, French, and Russian came after English, with over 700 thousand publications each. Among the languages analyzed, fourteen had fewer than 50 publications, nineteen had fewer than 100, twenty-two had fewer than 500, and twenty-five had fewer than one thousand publications. European languages were well-represented with thousands of publications each, while widely spoken languages such as Hindi and Arabic had limited representation.

Conclusion: The production of medical research in native languages reflects the attention given to native languages in medicine and medical education within each country. It is crucial to provide due attention to these language-related issues and explore strategies for including native languages in medicine to bridge the gaps in language and medicine.

Authors:   Sofia University, Raycheva Nadezhda , Kirova Milena
Published: May 2024

Digital competence has been identified as a key competence in European education policy. In Bulgarian education, it is developed both directly through subjects aimed specifically at it, and indirectly through training in all other subjects. The aim of the study is to elucidate the presence of elements related to the digital competence in the educational documents defining the curriculum of natural science education. As a result of the analysis, it was found that for science education, digital technologies are to be applied as a means of accessing information and mainly the skills of searching, analysing and presenting information and data are to be developed. There is a lack of specific focus on assessing the authenticity of digital content, which is particularly important for health and environmental education. The possibilities of technologies for collaborative learning, their importance for the development of individuals and society, for the development of science and the importance of science for the development of digital technologies are also underestimated.
