Cancer in Kidney Transplant Recipients: Latest Findings
Authors: Tewes Federico R.
Published: November 2022

Acute renal failure in cancer patients may be due to the existence of tumor cell lysis, in which large amounts of potassium, phosphate, and nucleic acids are released into the bloodstream and cause a cancerous emergency [1]. In addition, it causes metabolic abnormalities that lead to the formation of calcium phosphate, which precipitates into the tissues and some into the kidneys. Metabolic abnormalities increase levels of uric acid, which precipitates in the kidneys. Both situations can lead to End-Stage Renal Failure (ESRF) [2]. The medical solution at this stage is for patients on dialysis or solid organ kidney transplantation.

A görögdinnye és a sárgadinnye Magyarországon is a magas kedveltségű nyári gyümölcsök közé tartozik, bár a sárgadinnye kedveltsége elmarad a görögdinnyéhez képest a nagyobb vásárlási és az élettani hatásai miatt. A vásárlási preferenciák esetében szinte kizárólagos a tapasztalati terméktulajdonságok, azon belül is főleg a dinnyehús színe és nem az íze, ami meghatározó. Az információkeresésre (egészségügyi hatások) épülő terméktulajdonságok szerepét a magyar fogyasztók kevésbé becsülik a nemzetközi szinthez képest, a népszerűbb görögdinnye kedvezőbb egészségügyi hatását magasabbra értékelik, bár a kulcsfontosságú pozitív egészségügyi tényezők számát és szintjét tekintve a tudomány a sárgadinnyét tartja jobbnak. A magyar dinnyefogyasztói magatartás jellemzői jelentősen eltérnek az amerikai és az ausztrál fogyasztókétól. A magyar fogyasztásban szinte kizárólagosan a friss dinnye fogyasztása jellemző, a feldolgozott termékek csaknem teljes egészében hiányoznak, holott ez tenné lehetővé a nyári hőségcsúcsok esetén a dömping levezetését így javítva az ágazat fenntarthatóságát a hulladékok és veszteségek csökkentése révén. A magyar fogyasztói magatartás keretében még ki sem alakultak azok az élelmiszer-termékkategóriák, amelyek lehetővé tennék az új életstílustrendekhez (snack étel, on-the-go termék, street food alkategória) való igazodást. A fentiek alapján célszerű lenne a dinnyeprogramokban eddig követett eladásösztönzési célokat megváltoztatni, mert a friss otthoni fogyasztás erősen korlátozott, illetve ebben nem tudják a termelők a belföldi és külföldi turizmus keresleti lehetőségeit kihasználni. További kulcsfejlesztési lehetőség lenne a feldolgozókapacitás kiépítése és a feldolgozott termékek piaci bevezetése.
A novel Hafnia-specific bacteriophage is capable of transduction of ampicillin resistance between bacterial species
Authors: Meah Ibnat , Singleton David R.
Published: November 2022

A bacteriophage isolated for its ability to infect the Gram-negative and ampicillin-sensitive bacterium Hafnia alvei was also able to infect a strain of ampicillin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. An apparatus was designed to allow cultures of the two bacterial species to be separated by a 0.2-μm filter. A phage-infected culture of K. pneumoniae was grown next to an uninfected H. alvei culture. Following incubation, samples from the H. alvei culture were plated on nonselective media (nutrient agar), and plated colonies were then replica plated to ampicillin-containing media. Several ampicillin-resistant colonies of H. alvei were identified. Of the potential methods for horizontal gene transfer (transformation, transduction, and conjugation), only viral transduction of antibiotic resistance is supported.

Weeds cause serious damage to the crop yield by sharing land, water, soil nutrients, and sunlight, etc.,which increase the cost of cultivation, impairment of quantity and quality. The objective of the research isto compare the water use efficiency, weed index, and weed control efficiency under a drip irrigation systemwith black polyethylene mulch, using four treatments, such as Drip, Drip with Mulch, Mulch, and Control.The acquired findings revealed that there is a significant difference between the treatment means, with theleast significant difference being (P>0.05). However, the maximum acquired water use efficiency in dripwith mulch treatment is 14.43 kg/ha-mm, followed by drip, mulch, and control were 10.89, 8.82, 6.55 kg/ ha-mm, respectively. Due to increasing weed infestation, the weed index in control was found to be high as33.69 percent, followed by mulch, drip and drip with mulch were 28.79, 12.81 and zero per cent duly. Theweed control efficiency was acquired to be high in drip with mulch treatment as 91.34 percent and 84.78percent at 30 and 60 days after sowing respectively. Plastic mulch improves the water use efficiency andproductivity with a controlled amount of water application with drip irrigation system. The researchconcludes that using a drip irrigation system in conjunction with black polyethylene mulch for the cultivationof groundnut crops in sandy soils is superior and beneficial for the farmers to achieve high yields, whichresults in economic benefit of the farmers.

Six different rice entries along with susceptible and resistant check varieties were evaluated under glasshouseconditions for different parameters of antixenosis and antibiosis resistance against brownplanthopper(BPH, Nilaparvata lugens StÃ¥l). In antixenosis studies, proportion of insects settled on test entries in relationto the susceptible control TN1 was recorded, with average lower proportion of nymphs settled on N22-CCDTM-893 and Ptb 33 in relation to those on TN1. In antibiosis studies adult population, adultlongevity andpopulation build-up were recorded. N22-CC-DTM-893 and Ptb 33 displayed significantly better performanceas compared to other test entries in these parameters studied and did not differ from each other. Theseresults helped in relative quantification of BPH resistance levels in different test entries and N22-CC-DTM-893 show substantial levels of antixenosis and antibiosis effects on BPH and it is considered as new effectivesource of BPH resistance and can be used in resistance breeding after tagging of resistant genes/QTLslinked to brown planthopper resistance with selectable molecular markers.

Surface irrigation is most common method of irrigation and most widely used in the world, due to low costin the initial stage and easy to operate. Realizing the fact that surface irrigation will remain as the mostadoptable irrigation method for the farmers of India, a surface irrigation method which is a modification ofsurge irrigation is proposed in the present study. In the proposed irrigation method irrigation is accomplishedby applying inlet stream into furrows intermittently in place of conventional continuous stream application.The hydraulic behavior is studied under intermittent water application. The study involves developmentof relationship between advance function. The analysis of variance was also carried out for water frontadvance length, depth of infiltration time and water required under different spells of irrigation.The advanceunder first spell was found similar to continuous application while during second spell and subsequentspells the water front travel fast over the portion which was already wetted by previous spells. Fasteradvance in intermittent irrigation suggested reduction in infiltration rate relative to continuous application.Stream size significantly affected water front advance time and water utilized. Stream size of 1.5 lps streamin spell irrigation resulted in to maximum saving in time (13.0 %) and water (12.8 %) followed by 1.0 lpsstream. However 2.0 lps stream consumed more time and water to cover a targeted furrow length in spellirrigation. Intermittent water application in furrow irrigation saved water front advance time and volumeof water. A saving of 11- 23% in time of water front advance and saving of 16-22 % water was obtained whenwater was applied in 2- spells rather than continuous application for stream size of 1.0 lps and 1.5 lps.

A study was conducted on plankton dynamics of Kanke reservoir in relation to selected physico chemicalparameters from 10 September 2020 to 10 July 2021. Total ten sampling stations were chosen based onwater characteristics. Overall water quality parameters (Temperature, DO, CO2, TH, TA, Nitrate, Phosphateand pH) were found in the limits suggested for aquaculture practices except few station like STN 1, 4, and5 shown poor water quality, this may be due to domestic sewage and organic matter load released fromlocal communities. In the present study, total 50 genera of phytoplankton were identified. Of which 24genera of Chlorophyceae, 12 genera of Bacillariophyceae, 11 genera of Cyanophyceae, 2 genera ofEuglenophyceae and 1 genera of Dinophyceae. The phytoplankton abundance shows sharp increase fromJanuary to April (pre-monsoon) with Chlorophyceae as the most dominant group and Euglenophyceae asthe least dominant. Similarly, total 13 genera of zooplankton were identified. It included 6 genera of Rotifers,4 genera of Cladocerans and 3 genera of Copepods. A positive correlation was noticed between temperatureand phytoplankton in the Kanke reservoir. All group of zooplankton showed very lowabundance duringmonsoon, however, there was an increase in abundance during pre-monsoon, and highestabundance value was recorded during post-monsoon months. Findings of the present study shows that the waterquality of Kanke reservoir is still safe for aquaculture practices except few stations. But the sign ofdeteriorating water quality is started to appear as algal scam/bloom formation. The findings of this studywill serve as a baseline data for further investigations, comparing the future changes in this reservoir andto conserve this ecosystem.

Published: November 2022

In this study, variations in physicochemical parameters and heavy metal contamination in water of theBaie de LÃ©vrier are instigated from 25 stations to assess the quality of water. The pH of the waters isrelatively basic and the temperatures are a little high compared to the temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean inDecember. The measured conductivity remains within the range of known conductivity quantities that is56 Î¼S/cm for the oceans. The average concentration of the four heavy metals in water is therefore in theorder of 0.02. The comparison with the background (SE26) allows us to note that: - concentrations of Cu areeither low or similar to those of the stations SE5, SE8, SE10, SE12, SE13, SE24, SE25, - concentrations of Coare relatively high in most stations SE2, SE4, SE6, SE9, SE11, SE13, SE16, SE17, SE18, SE19, SE20, SE21,SE22, SE23, SE24, particularly in stations SE14 and SE16.; - As concentrations are the same except thestation SE1; - concentrations of Mo in the stations SE4, SE6, SE9, SE12, SE14, SE21, SE23, SE24 are relativelyhigher compared to that of the background, while in the other stations the concentrations are low. Calculatedpollution values (IPs) are less than1, suggesting the absence of pollution in the analyzed water.Igeo valuesare all very low (Igeo<<0) and attest to a very low level of contamination, the enrichment factor (EF)displayslarge values (>1) for arsenic, particularly at stations SE1 (EF=70), SE5 and SE22(EF=7). Such valueswould be related to the influence of external discrete sources like industrial activities and other anthropogenicorigins.

In conclusion, disparity in the awareness of breast self-examination between urban and rural secondary school girls (age 15-17) in Ebonyi State was found and thus it is important to create awareness of BSE among young girls most especially the rural area dwellers.
THE ROLE OF GOOD GOVERNANCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Riak PhD Gabriel Alier , Bill Dut Bol Ayuel
Published: November 2022

Governance has to do with the manner in which responsibility is discharged. Such a responsibility may be acquired through election, appointment, or delegation in the public domain, or in the area of commerce (i.e.,corporate governance) (Mbaku& Smith, 2012). Therefore, good governance is taken here to mean condition whereby such responsibility is discharged in an effective, transparent, and accountable manner, while bad governance is associated with maladministration in the discharge of responsibility (Mbaku& Smith, 2012). Good governance entails the existence of efficient and accountable institutions—political, judicial, administrative, economic, corporate andentrenched rules that promote development, protect human rights, respect the rule of law, and ensure that people are free to participate in,and be heard on, decisions that affect their lives (Brinkerhoff & Derick, 2008).

The 1987 Brundtland Report defined sustainable development as “development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Bartelmus, 2012). At the heart of this concept is the belief that over the long term, social, economic and environmental objectives should be complementary and interdependent in the development process. In 1992, the Rio Summit established sustainable development as the guiding vision for development in both industrialized and developing countries, and for international development co-operation (Chung, 2009).
THE IMPACT OF LEADERSHIP STYLES IN THE DEVELOPMENT

Published: November 2022

Leadership is the ability to employ managerial competencies to organized performance processes by inspiring, igniting and motivating teams to meet set organizational goals (Kirega, 2008).According to Ogbonnia (2007), an operational map for leadership was drawn along: corporate style, authoritative style, and laissez-faire style. At the organizational level, leadership establishes and transmits to all employees the overarching direction of the organization, as such, developing a better understanding of effective leaders is important for future leader development (Gupta, 2005). The European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), (2009) defines leadership at the strategic level as "how leaders develop and facilitate the achievement of the mission and vision, develop values required for long-term success and implement these via appropriate actions and behaviors, and are personally involved in ensuring that the organization’s management system is developed and implemented. To maintain a competitive edge, an organization must be able to adapt and change in order to improve processes. Leadership is a key component to achieving these outcomes (Keith, 2009).
THE ROLE OF RESOURCE SHARING ON CONFLICT MITIGATION IN AFRICA

Published: November 2022

Historically, literature pertaining to conflict management has been dominated by a debate emanating from competing methods of political power sharing. More recently, however, scholars have also begun to consider military, territorial, and economic power sharing arrangements as well as institutional alternatives to power sharing—power dividing and partition. The former alternative to power sharing was proposed by Roeder & Rothchild (2005) and has received limited scholarly attention. The latter alternative has roused a considerable degree more attention but has not been empirically analyzed with any consistent results.
THE ESSENTIAL OF CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT IN THE POST CONFLICT COUNTRIES
Authors: Riak PhD Gabriel Alier , Bill Dut Bol Ayuel
Published: November 2022

Capacity development is a concept which is broader than organizational development in that it includes an emphasis on the overall system, environment or context within which individuals, organizations and societies operate and interact (and not simply a single organization)(UNDP, 1998). It can also be the process of developing competencies and capabilities in individuals, groups, organizations, sectors or countries which will lead to sustained and self-generating performance improvement (Aus AID, 2004). Capacity building is badly needed in South Sudan.  Much of the adult population spent its youth in war with a minority having access to education abroad; therefore, everything from education, technical training, business training, entrepreneurship and other capacity is required.  Anyone doing business in South Sudan should definitely consider a strong CSR element in capacity building, which could take various forms: vocational training, mentoring, or supplementary training.  Note that due to the length of the war, there is a general absence of skilled labor or a work ethic in South Sudan.  Startup companies may need to consider importing some skilled labor, or trying to identify individuals returning from various Diaspora with the requisite skills (USAID, 2012).  Capacity development has the following attributes; Knowledge, Skills, Competencies, Capabilities and innovations
THE IMPORTANCE OF SERVICE DELIVERY IN THE COMMUNITY
Authors: Riak PhD Gabriel Alier , Bill Dut Bol Ayuel
Published: November 2022

Service quality can be determined by comparing the perceptions of consumers for the services that they obviously received the services that they expected to get through the attributes of an enterprise service. If the received service or perceived service is what they have expected, then the perceived service delivery is good and satisfactory. Moreover, if the received service is exceeding the consumers' expectation, then the perceived service is excellent. While conversely, if the received service is lower than expected, then the perceived service is classified as a poor quality of service. Kotler (2002) explained that the definition of service is any action or activity that can be offered by one party to another, which is essentially intangible and does not result in any ownership; its production may be linked or not linked to a physical product. A service is the producer behavior carried out to meet consumer needs and desires in order to achieve customer satisfaction. Kotler also said that behavior could be occurred during, before or after the transaction. And these actions or activities are as explained below:

Background and Objective: Maternal iron deficiency anemia is thought to be related to postpartum depressive in biology pathway. Ferritin is the first test to become abnormal as iron stores decrease and it is not affected by recent iron ingestion. Furthermore, iron deficiency anemia also can decrease Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) which play role in sinaps plasticity in neuron. The purpose of this study is to determinate difference of maternal BDNF and total score Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) between low and normal ferritin among pregnant women. Methods and Study Design: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional design at Health Center Care Lubuk Buaya Padang and Biomedical Laboratory Faculty of Medicine Andalas University in Indonesia in November 2016 to June 2017. Samples in this study are 72 pregnant women in 37 until 42 weeks pregnancy were divided to 2 groups which are low (< 12 ng/mL) and normal ferritin (≥ 12 ng/mL). Ferritin and BDNF measured with ELISA after examination and EPDS were assessed at 2 weeks after delivery. Data analysed using independent t test.

Comparative study of quality of King scallop (Pecten maximus) and Sprat (Spratus sprattus sprat’s) packed in ice, cling film and alluminium foil at 40C were conducted. Sensory (Inspection) and chemical changes (TVB-N, TMA-N and TMAO-N) were determined for a period of 16 days. In general, TMA-N increased and TMAO-N decreased progressively with increased storage time for both the species. However, significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in the concentrations of TMA-N and TVB-N in fish packed in alluminium foil and cling film compared to fish stored in ice. The biochemical results were in agreement with the sensory score. Ice packed fish showed better quality and longer shelf life compared to fish packed in either aluminum foil or cline film.

The experiment was carried out during August 1996 to December 1998 to determine the conception rate (CR) in artificial insemination (AI) using liquid and deep frozen semen. The effects of season and breeds of cows on CR were also considered. Out of 184 cows and heifers inseminated, 62 were Local, 64 were Local Friesian and 58 were Local  Sahiwal crossbreds. Sixty-one (61) and 123 cows and heifers were inseminated by liquid and deep frozen semen respectively. Liquid semen was produced locally at district AI center, Khulna and deep frozen semen was collected from central cattle breeding station, Savar, Dhaka. Average motility of sperm in liquid and deep frozen semen was 70% and 60% respectively. AI was done by recto-vaginal method between 8 to 24 hours after onset of estrous and pregnancy diagnosis of all non-returned animals was done between 60 to 90 days after insemination by rectal palpation method. The animals were reared under semi-intensive condition. Data were analyzed by statistical package ‘MINITAB’. Analysis of variances revealed significant effect (P<0.05) of semen type (liquid or deep frozen) on CR. Mean CR was found 65.57  6.13% and 49.59  4.53% for liquid semen and deep frozen semen respectively and the overall rate was 54.89  3.68%. On the other hand, average conception rate in Local (indigenous zebu type), Local  Friesian and Local  Sahiwal were 58.06  6.32%, 46.88  6.29% and 60.34  6.48%, respectively. Seasonal variation in CR was insignificant (P>0.05).

Published: November 2022

Effect of different media additives on in vitro culture of three potato varieties viz.Lalpakri, Cardinal and BARI TPS-1 was investigated using single nodes as explant. The single nodes were collected from microplants of tuber sprouts that was preincubated under dark. Survivability of the cultures was statistically insignificant in respect of the media used, but the highest percentage of cultures survived on MS medium supplimented with 60 mg L-1 inositol. The time taken to initiate new shoots was minimum on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg L-1 Benzyle Amino Purine (BAP). The number of shoot was maximum on a medium containing MS + 0.25 mg L-1 Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and 2 mg L-1 Calcium Pantothenate. The maximum number of roots was obtained on medium containing MS + 0.03 mg L-1 Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA). Among the varieties tested, BARI TPS-1 performed better in respect of single node culture. The interaction between different potato varieties and media compositions was significant for different characters of in vitro grown plantlets.

In vitro regeneration of sugarcane varieties viz. Isd-20, Isd-30 and Isd-2/54 has been studied. Nutrient media containing growth regulators enhanced callus induction, shoot differentiation and root formation in vitro. All the three varieties cultured fortified with 3.0 mg/1 2,4-D, showed the best performance in the callus induction on modified MS media. In shoot induction, effectiveness of cytokinin (BA 1.5 mg/1) along with either 0.25 mg/1 NAA or IBA was proved to be superior to other concentrations. Microshoots were rooted on MS and modified MS media. The striking number of roots was observed on modified MS medium supplemented with NAA 0.5 mg/1 + 0.5 mg/1 IBA and IBA 0.5 mg/1 + LAA 0.5 mg/1. Eighty to ninety per cent regenerated plantlets were viable with 85% relative humidity while transferred to sterilized soil.

In this study, the usability of infrared thermography (IRT) applications in the postoperative follow-up after the sterilization operation was investigated in dogs with pyometra. The study was carried out on healthy animals (Group 2, n=7) diagnosed as pyometra (Group 1, n=7) and undergone elective ovariohysterectomy, consisting of 14 female dogs. Serum CRP levels were measured from the patients before the operation and on the 1st, 4, and 7th days postoperatively. Thermographic images from the eye and incision area were recorded, and the results were analyzed statistically. There were no intraoperative and postoperative complications in both study groups, and all dogs in Group 1 recovered uneventfully. Serum CRP levels were higher at 0, 4th, and 7th days in Group 1 (P0.05) in both groups, a decrease was observed on the 4th and 7th days (P0.05). While serum CRP values reached the maximum level on the 1st day after surgery in the healthy and patient groups, it was seen as a milder increase due to the inflammatory reaction in the pyometra group. Due to the uncomplicated completion of the study, CRP values tended to decrease on the 4thday, and no significant difference was observed in the thermographic images. However, it is not reflected in the statistical data; in the pyometra group, the eye on the 1st and 4th days. The abdominal temperature remained higher than the control group on all other days. It is thought that the use of thermography, which is a non-invasive and practical application, in addition to serum CRP measurement after ovariohysterectomy, in similar studies to be applied in larger populations in the future, will help determine the prognosis.

Published: November 2022

After being founded in Paris in 1894, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) moved its headquarters to Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1915. It hired its first staff member in the 1920s and continued to operate with just two or three employees until the mid-1960s, even though the Olympic Games had grown substantially. Indeed, the IOC still had only about twenty staff members when John MacAloon first visited its headquarters in the mid-1970s. It now employs more than 700 people from seventy-one nationalities in Lausanne and Madrid, making it one of the world's largest and well-known NGOs. This article traces the IOC Administration's rise from its humble beginnings to the present day. It shows how, under successive presidents and heads of administration, the IOC has followed four stages of the process of professionalization described in the sport management literature.
Keep Your Pin Up: Students Combating Opioid Use Disorder Stigma with Lapel Pins
Authors: Sugar Sophia , Coyle D. Tyler
Published: November 2022

Drug overdose death rates continue to rise – more Americans and Coloradans are dying of drug overdoses than ever before. Despite efforts to shift the narrative, our society continues to struggle to acknowledge substance use disorders as medical conditions worthy of medical care. Rural settings are no exception. In this piece, a University of Colorado medical student describes her experience working to fight stigma surrounding opioid use disorder in both lay and healthcare professional populations. By designing and employing the use of lapel pins, students are leading a grassroots campaign to combat opioid use disorder stigma among healthcare professionals at the outset of their careers. Using real experiences from a rural clinic, the authors explore barriers to addiction care, including how stigma can perpetuate sub-optimal care for treatable medical conditions.
Treating Hepatitis C in Addiction Medicine and Primary Care through a Telehealth model; a Curriculum

Published: November 2022

Background The American Association for the Study of Liver Disease created a simplified cascade for the treatment of non-cirrhotic, treatment naïve, adults with hepatitis C. Given the expanded guidelines, a novel curriculum was implemented to train nonspecialist providers. With the need for immediate access to hepatitis C treatment, in part due to the increase in IV drug use creating a new cohort of those infected, this project assessed the efficacy of a curriculum designed to train nonspecialist providers to treat hepatitis C following CDC and AASLD simplified guidelines. Methods The educational curriculum and survey setting was an addiction medicine telehealth-based practice operating in several states including New Jersey, Michigan, Texas, Ohio, California, Alaska, and Florida. The providers included physician assistants and nurse practitioners who ranged from newly graduated to over twenty years’ experience. The survey had 23 questions assessing points on treating hepatitis C, past experiences, comfort level and feelings about the curriculum and support. Results The 37 survey participants were 85% who identified as female and 15% who identified as male, 67% of which identified as White with the overall age distribution being varied (majority between 34-45). 46% of participants stated they felt uncomfortable or very uncomfortable about treating hepatitis C before completing the curriculum and 69% of the respondents had never treated hepatitis C. After completing the training 76% remarked that they felt either comfortable or very comfortable treating hepatitis C. Conclusion With the colliding epidemics, it is imperative to have trained providers who can treat hepatitis C. Since there are only 20,000 specialists, the addition of nonspecialist providers removes barriers to access and timely care. The follow-up survey assessed a compelling change in comfort level after doing the training, which supports the integration of the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease simplified guidelines in various types of practices. Curriculums designed to treat hepatis C and utilize telehealth systems will help decrease barriers and reduce the public health risk of spreading new infections.
