Importance:  This three-part study characterizes the widespread implementation of telehealth during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, giving us insight into the role of telehealth as we enter a stage of “new normal” healthcare delivery in the U.S.

Objective: The COVID-19 Telehealth Impact Study was designed to describe the natural experiment of telehealth adoption during the pandemic.  Using a large claims data stream and surveys of providers and patients, we studied telehealth in all 50 states to inform healthcare leaders. 

Design, Setting, Participants: In March 2020, the MITRE Corporation and Mayo Clinic founded the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition (C19HCC), to respond to the pandemic. We report trends using a dataset of over 2 billion healthcare claims covering over 50% of private insurance activity in the U.S. (January 2019-December 2020), along with key elements from our provider survey (July-August 2020) and patient survey (November 2020 - February 2021).

Main Outcomes and Measures: There was rapid and widespread adoption of telehealth in Spring 2020 with over 12 million telehealth claims in April 2020, accounting for 49.4% of total health care claims. Providers and patients expressed high levels of satisfaction with telehealth. 75% of providers indicated that telehealth enabled them to provide quality care.  84% of patients agreed that quality of their telehealth visit was good.

Results: Peak levels of telehealth use varied widely among states ranging from 74.9% in Massachusetts to 25.4% in Mississippi.  Every clinical discipline saw a steep rise with the largest claims volume in behavioral health. Provision of care by out-of-state provider was common at 6.5% (October-December 2020). Providers reported multiple modalities of telehealth care delivery.  74% of patients indicated they will use telehealth services in the future.

Conclusions and Relevance: Innovation shown by providers and patients during this period of rapid telehealth expansion constitutes a great natural experiment in care delivery with evidence supporting widespread clinical adoption and satisfaction on the part of both patients and clinicians. The authors encourage continued broad access to telehealth over the next 12 months to allow telehealth best practices to emerge, creating a more effective and resilient system of care delivery.

Status, Growth, and Perceptions of School Quality
Authors: Houston David M. , Henderson Michael , Peterson Paul E. , West Martin R.
Published: August 2021

States and districts are increasingly incorporating measures of achievement growth into their school accountability systems, but there is little research on how these changes affect the public’s perceptions of school quality. We conduct a nationally representative online survey experiment to identify the effects of providing participants with information about their local public schools’ average achievement status and/or average achievement growth. Prior to receiving any information, participants already possess a modest understanding of how their local schools perform in terms of status, but they are largely unaware of how these schools perform in terms of growth. Participants who live in higher status districts tend to grade their local schools more favorably. The provision of status information does not fundamentally change this relationship. The provision of growth information, however, alters Americans’ views about local educational performance. Once informed, participants’ evaluations of their local schools better reflect the variation in district growth.

Revitalisasi Konsep Amanat Agung dalam Matius 28 dan Implementasinya bagi Penginjilan di Masa Pandemi Covid-19
Authors: Purnomo Aldrin
Published: August 2021

The basic concept of the Great Commission is evangelism and discipleship carried out by churches and Christian communities around the world including in Indonesia. This concept is carried out in a face-to-face pattern and communicates verbally with each other physically. However, all patterns of this activity must be stopped due to the Covid-19 virus outbreak that hit the world. The establishment of preventive measures in the form of restrictions on the movement of people and the application of health protocols become a major barrier to the continuation of evangelistic and discipleship programs. Therefore, a strategy is needed by applying new patterns so that evangelistic and discipleship work can still be carried out even during the Covid-19 pandemic. From the results of the analysis conducted through desk research and focus group discussion, it was agreed that the Church should force itself to reposition, find and obtain the most appropriate solution to overcome these limitations. With the development of digital technology, the possibility to obtain solutions for the revitalization of the great mandate in evangelism and discipleship programs becomes wide open. The development of digital technology opens the limitations of human-to-human relationships in various ways. Thus the process of evangelism and discipleship can be done under any conditions including during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Differential expression of neuromedin U in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding neuromedin U, NMU, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. NMU expression was significantly higher in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. NMU expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of NMU is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. NMU may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

Penyakit pneumonia yang menyerang manusia disebabkan oleh tipe virus korona baru severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), yang oleh badan kesehatan dunia WHO menamakan sebagai Coronavirus Diesease-19 (CoViD-19) pada tanggal 11 Februari 2020. Pada Desember 2019, kasus ini pertama kali dilaporkan di Wuhan, Provinsi Hubei, China, yaitu terdata sebanyak 5 pasien yang dirawat dengan Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) antara tanggal 18 Desember hingga 29 Desember 2019, dan sejak tanggal 31 Desember 2019 hingga 3 Januari 2020 kasus ini meningkat pesat hingga mencapai 44 kasus. Awalnya kebanyakan laporan datang dari Hubei dan provinsi di sekitar, kemudian bertambah hingga ke provinsi-provinsi lain dan seluruh China. Belum cukup sebulan, yaitu tanggal 30 Januari 2020 CoViD-19 telah menyebar di berbagai provinsi lain di China dengan 7.736 kasus terkonfirmasi, bahkan ke negara lain (Jepang, Korea Selatan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Filipina, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Kamboja, Singapura, Arab Saudi, Australia, Kanada, Finlandia, Jerman dan Prancis) dengan 86 kasus . Hingga tanggal 19 Juni 2020, terdapat 8.464.739 kasus dan 453.289 jumlah kematian diseluruh dunia.Di Indonesia, CoViD-19 pertama kali dilaporkan pada tanggal 2 Maret 2020 dengan dua kasus, data per 19 Juni 2020 menunjukkan kasus yang terkonfirmasi berjumlah 42.762 dan 2.339 kasus kematian, dengan rata-rata kejadian CoViD-19 sebesar 15,63 per 100.000 orang. Peningkatan kasus CoViD-19 yang semakin tinggi, mengharuskan pemerintah, lembaga kesehatan, penelitian, dan seluruh lembaga yang terkait untuk meninjau langkah yang tepat, efisiens dan efektif dalam pencegahan penyebaran CoViD-19 ini. Salah satu langkah yang bisa ditempuh adalah genomic surveillance.

Is confounding considered when estimating treatment-covariate interactions in individual participant data meta-analyses of randomised trials? Protocol for a methodological study
Authors: Rogozinska Ewelina , Cornett Chantelle , Marlin Nadine , Fisher David J. , Godolphin Peter John
Published: August 2021

A key question for meta-analyses is reliably assessing whether treatment effects vary across different participant groups, thereby informing how best to treat individual patients. However, it is possible that evidence of an interaction is driven by a different, confounding factor. In a methodological study, we are aiming to assess what methods currently exist to deal with confounding when estimating treatment-covariate interactions and what methods are currently being used in practice. In this protocol, we describe the methodology we are employing in this study.
Tunable square waveguide polarizer with irises and posts
Authors: Piltyay Stepan
Published: August 2021

Polarization signal processing is widely used in modern information and telecommunication systems for various purposes. Signal polarization processing is carried out in polarization-adaptive antenna systems. The key element of such systems is transformation devices for polarization processing. They perform the transformation of the types of polarization and separate the different types. The most commonly applied systems are the ones using a single circular polarization or two orthogonal circular polarizations simultaneously.The absence of the need for an accurate angle orientation between the transmitting and receiving antennas to establish communication is one of the basic advantages of this type of polarization. When using antenna systems with linear polarization, signal losses appear due to inconsistency in the orientation of the polarization planes of the transmitting and receiving antennas. This feature of circular polarization is important for satellite and many other telecommunications systems. In such systems it is difficult to maintain a fixed orientation of one antenna relative to the other. In addition, circular polarization is used to communicate with satellites orbiting the direction of the radio link. Regardless of antenna orientation, when using circular polarization, the received signal level is constant. These advantages explain why circular polarized antennas are widely used in radio engineering systems for various purposes. The paper presents the results of the development of a polarization device based on a square waveguide with two posts and two diaphragms in the frequency range from 7,7 to 8,5 GHz. The article contains the results of calculations using the developed mathematical model of the device. In addition, the results of modeling the device using the finite element method are presented for comparison. A comparison was made of the polarization characteristics and the match of the developed polarizer. The created mathematical model makes it possible to effectively analyze the characteristics when changing design parameters. These parameters include the size of the wall of the square waveguide, the heights of the diaphragms and pins, the distance between them, the thickness of the diaphragms and pins. The developed polarizer is suggested for the application in satellite telecommunication and radar systems.
Competition between 3D structural inheritance and kinematics during rifting: insights from analogue models
Authors: Zwaan Frank , Chenin Pauline , Erratt Duncan , Manatschal Gianreto , Schreurs Guido
Published: August 2021

The competition between the impact of inherited weaknesses and plate kinematics determines the location and style of deformation during rifting, yet the relative impacts of these “internal” and “external” factors remain poorly understood, especially in 3D. In this study we used brittle-viscous analogue models to assess how multiphase rifting, i.e., changes in plate divergence rate or direction, and the distribution of weaknesses in the competent mantle and crust influence rift evolution. We find that the combined reactivation of mantle and crustal weaknesses without kinematic changes creates complex rift structures. Divergence rates affects the strength of the weak lower crustal layer and hence the degree of mantle-crustal coupling. In this context slow rifting decreases coupling, so that crustal weaknesses can easily localize deformation and dominate surface structures, whereas fast rifting increases coupling so that deformation related to mantle weaknesses can have a dominant surface expression. Through a change from slow to fast rifting mantle-related deformation can overprint previous structures that formed along (differently oriented) crustal weaknesses. Conversely, a change from fast to slow rifting may shift deformation from mantle-controlled towards crust-controlled. When changing divergence directions, structures from the first rifting phase may control where subsequent deformation occurs, but only when they are well developed. Alternatively, they are ignored during subsequent rifting. We furthermore place our results in a larger framework of brittle-viscous rift modelling results from previous experimental studies, showing the importance of genral lithospheric layering, divergence rate, the type of deformation in the mantle, and finally upper crustal structural inheritance. The interaction between these parameters can lead to a large variety of deformation styles that may often lead to comparable end products. Therefore, detailed investigation of faulting and to an equal extent basin depocenter distribution over time is required to properly determine the evolution of complex rift systems. These insights provide a strong incentive to revisit various natural examples.
Social prevalence information is rationally integrated in belief updating
Authors: Orticio Evan , Martí Louis , Kidd Celeste
Published: August 2021

People rely heavily on information from the social world to inform their real-world beliefs. We ask whether the perceived prevalence of a belief, divorced from any direct evidence, serves as an independent cue in belief updating. Using real-world pseudoscientific and conspiratorial claims, our experiment (N = 403 American adults) shows that increases in people’s estimates of the prevalence of a belief led to increases in their endorsement of said belief. Belief change was most dramatic when initial beliefs were most uncertain and when novel prevalence information was most convincing, suggesting that people weigh social information rationally with other information sources. We discuss the implications of our results in the context of online misinformation.
Virtual Reality to understand Pain-Associated Approach Behaviour: A Proof-of-Concept Study
Authors: Hilger Kirsten , Häge Anne-Sophie , Zedler Christina , Jost Michael , Pauli Paul
Published: July 2021

Purpose/Aim: Pain-associated approach and avoidance behaviours are critically involved in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. Empirical research suggests a key role of operant learning mechanisms, and first experimental paradigms were developed for their investigation within a controlled laboratory setting. We introduce a new Virtual Reality paradigm to the study of pain-related behaviour and investigate pain experiences on multiple dimensions.Materials and Methods: The paradigm evaluates the effects of three-tiered heat-pain stimuli applied contingent versus non-contingent with three types of arm movements in naturalistic virtual sceneries. Behaviour, self-reported pain-related fear, pain expectancy and electrodermal activity were assessed in 42 healthy participants during an acquisition phase (movements-pain association) and a modification phase (no movement-pain association). Results: Pain-associated approach behaviour, as measure by arm movements followed by a severe heat stimuli, quickly decreased in-line with the arm movement pain contingency. Slower effects were observed in fear of movement-related pain and pain expectancy ratings. During the subsequent modification phase, the removal of the pain contingencies modified all three indices. In both phases, skin conductance responses resemble the pattern observed for approach behaviour, while skin conductance levels equal the pattern observed for the self-ratings. Conclusions: Our findings highlight a fast reduction in approach behaviour in the face of acute pain and inform about accompanying psychological and physiological processes. We discuss strength and limitations of our paradigm for future investigations with the ultimate goal of gaining a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms involved in chronic pain development, maintenance, and its therapy.
Judgement of political statements are influenced by speaker identity
Authors: Bi Brian , Martí Louis , O'Shaughnessy David M. , Kidd Celeste
Published: August 2021

Analyses of political discourse typically focus on the semantic content of politicians’ statements. The approach treats the meaning of a speaker’s words as independent from the speaker’s identity itself; however, there are reasons to believe that one might influence the other. Features of a speaker’s identity influence others’ judgements of their character (e.g., Kinzler & DeJesus, 2013), and thus speaker identity could influence listeners’ assessment of the semantics and validity of the statements themselves. Here, we collect U.S. participants’ judgements of the political orientation of different statements, from liberal to conservative, heard with one of three accents, a generic U.S. accent, a Southern U.S. accent or an Australian accent. In comparison to identical statements conveyed in the generic U.S. accent, participants tended to perceive the U.S. Southern accented statements as more conservative and the Australian accented statements as more liberal.

Published: August 2021

Introduction. Estimates of prevalence and comorbidity of ADHD in the United States require additional national, multi-informant data. Further, it is unclear whether the polygenic, neurodevelopmental model of ADHD in DSM-5 is best modeled with a broad or restrictive phenotype definition. Method: In the Adolescent Behavior Cognition Development (ABCD) study baseline data on 9-10 year old children, ADHD prevalence, comorbidity, and association with cognitive functioning and polygenic risk were calculated at four thresholds of definition of ADHD phenotype restrictiveness using multiple measures and informants. Multi-indicator latent variable and composite scores were created and cross validated for ADHD symptoms and for irritability. Missing data, sample nesting, and sampling bias were corrected statistically. Results: Multi-informant estimate of ADHD prevalence by the most restrictive definition was 3.53% when restricted to children in which parent ratings and teacher ratings both converged with KSAD report of current ADHD. As stringency of the phenotype was increased, total comorbidity increased slightly, and associations with cognitive functioning and polygenic risk strengthened. Inclusion of children with past ADHD but now treated increased prevalence estimate without weakening detection of polygenic risk. Irritability and ADHD dimensional composite scores and latent variables achieved satisfactory model fit and expected external correlations. Conclusion: The present report strengthens estimates of ADHD prevalence and comorbidity. Research on polygenic and other correlates of ADHD as a clinical category in the ABCD sample may benefit from using a restrictive, multi-informant operational definition.
Conspiracy Beliefs and Distrust of Science Predicts Reluctance of Vaccine Uptake of Politically Right-Wing Citizens
Authors: Winter Taylor , Riordan Benjamin , Scarf Damian , Jose Paul
Published: July 2021

Conspiracy theories quickly flourished as the COVID-19 pandemic emerged and this may have been an underlying factor for some individuals in their reluctance to adhere to lockdown policies. In the present study, we surveyed a community sample of 1358 adults just prior to the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our results supported that right-wing individuals tended to have higher hesitancy associated with taking the COVID-19 vaccine. However, we demonstrated that this association, in part, can be explained by a corresponding belief in COVID-19 related conspiracies. Further, this association only emerged when associated with a general distrust in science. Our findings indicated that public interventions seeking to increase trust in science may mitigate right-wing endorsement of conspiracy theories and thus lead to a more unified and positive response to public health behaviours such as vaccination.

Basmati rice, also called the king/prince of rice landraces has very special values in Nepalese society as well as in other countries of Indian Subcontinent. With the objectives of collecting, analyzing and documenting Basmati related information in Nepal, we visited different sites; carried out key informant surveys; organized focus group discussions, online interaction and discussion meetings; requested all relevant offices/ persons/ stakeholders through phone, website, and letter to share information; organized high level official meeting, and Basmati rice expert meeting; documented video documentary and did online as well as library search. Because of its high market value at global level, many countries and organizations have been attempting to get intellectual property rights (mainly patent and geographical indication tag) on Basmati rice. India applied for GI tag to Basmati rice in the European Union (EU) in July 2018, and Nepal submitted opposition letter along with proofs and evidences of origin, diversity, cultivation and use values of Basmati rice on 9 December 2020. A total 133 Basmati type rice landraces are grown in 60 districts of Nepal. Basmati rice is traditionally grown, sold, and consumed in geographically localized areas of Nepal since ancient time. International and national scientists have defined lower altitude of Nepal as one of the centers of origin of Basmati rice. Many Nepalese basmati rice landraces have been characterized and evaluated using morphological traits, isozymes and DNA markers. Four basmati type of rice landraces have been registered in National Seed Board. Many community seed banks have maintained different types of Basmati rice landraces. National Agriculture Genetic Resources Center and International genebanks have collected more than 80 and conserved 68 basmati landraces. Basmati rice landraces have geo-linked traits. The historical culture of production, consumption and marketing of native basmati rice in Nepal should always be favored by both national and international rules and regulations. Nepal has ample and valid evidences to get geographical indication (GI) right on Basmati rice.
Artificial Neural Network analysis of EEG waves in complex partial seizure patients
Authors: Saxena Shikha , Gupta Kamal Kant
Published: August 2021

Background: Brain dynamics associated with epilepsy remains limited. EEG-based epilepsy diagnosis and seizure detection is still in its infancy. The problem is further amplified for the design and development of automated algorithms, which requires a quantitative parametric representation of the qualitative or visual aspect of the markers. This study proposes an automatic classification system for epilepsy based on neural networks and EEG signals.
Material and Method: The present study made use of EEG data from 16 controls and 16 temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients in order to comparatively assess neural dynamics in normal healthy young adults and epileptic patients treated with anti-epileptic drugs in the context of resting state during eye close session. Such tangible differences could be appreciated through artificial neural network (ANN) classifiers.
Results: During eye closed session of EEG in order to diagnose temporal lobe epileptic patient, the extracted features of EEG activity are given to the classifier algorithm for training and test performance.

Introduction
Single burr hole surgery for Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is commonly performed neurosurgical procedure with >90% favorable outcome and less hospital stay. However, sometimes hospital stay may be prolonged due to associated prognostic factors, even in patients with favorable outcome. This study aims to analyze the early outcome of single burr hole and drainage surgery and factors that may be associated with prolong hospitalization.
Materials and method
A retrospective analysis of the patients who underwent single burr hole and drainage for CSDH from sept 2017 to may 2020 in Nepal Mediciti hospital. The patients with B/L CSDH, who underwent double burr hole and drainage or craniotomy evacuation or conservatively managed patients were excluded from the study. Early outcome was assessed using Glasgow outcome score at 7 days. Effect of use of antiplatelet/ anticoagulant drugs, age, comorbidity, preoperative Glasgow coma score on number of hospital stay was analyzed. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis in SPSS version 25.
Results
Out of 85 patients, 73 were male. Mean age was 63.8 years. Early outcome in 7 days was favorable with GOS (4-5) in 90.6%. The use of antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs was more common amongst patients with age > 70 years (p=0.01). The number of hospital stay was associated with age (p=0.00), antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs (p=0.00), comorbidities (p=0.001), preoperative GCS(P=0.001) and GOS at 7 days (p=0.001).
Conclusion
Single burr hole and drainage surgery for CSDH mostly produce favorable outcome. The use of antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs is more common in patients above 70 years. Age, antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs, comorbidities, preoperative GCS, GOS at 7 days are related with longer hospital stay.

Aim: To study the effect of Hypopressive exercises to improve pelvic floor muscle strength in women with Pelvic Organ Prolapse.(grade 1and 2).
Methods: This is an experimental study conducted on women of urban and rural areas of Kamothe and Kalamboli in India who presented with grade 1 and grade 2 Pelvic Organ Prolapse. 20 women (35 years and above) were recruited after taking their consent. The outcome measures assessed during pre and post evaluation were pelvic floor muscle strength as measured by modified oxford scale and perinometer whereas Pelvic Organ Prolapse symptoms by pelvic floor distress inventory scale-20. Intervention consisted of 6-weeks of Hypopressive exercises with a physiotherapist. The protocol consisted of three sessions weekly with progression in each week. Precautions to be taken during the study were explained to the participants each time.
Results: Hypopressive exercises presented positive results with statistically significant difference in pre and post evaluation of outcome measures. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test analysis reported p-value of 0.00 for modified oxford scale. For perinometer, p-value for peak, average, duration and gradient was 0.00, 0.00, 0.01 and 0.04 respectively. Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Scale reported p-value of 0.00.
Conclusion: Hypopressive exercises exhibited improvements in pelvic floor muscle strength and reducing the symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

Aims: To study the pattern of LUTS during diagnostic cystoscopy and to evaluate patient’s satisfaction using rigid cystoscopy with intra-urethral lignocaine gel.
Methods: Hospital based cross-sectional observational study done in all patients attending Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology with LUTS. Diagnostic cystoscopy was performed after using intra-urethral lignocaine gel. Patients profile and indications for cystoscopy were recorded; and VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) was used to assess procedure related pain. Data stored in MS Excel and descriptive analysis performed using SPSS 21.
Result: Forty-three patients were included in the study. The mean age of presentation was 45.77 years. Majority of the patients were pre-menstrual and with symptoms less than 5 year duration. Twenty-seven (62.8%) patients had urgency as indication for cystoscopy followed by cystitis and recurrent urinary infection each (16.3%). Only 2 patients had mixed urinary incontinence. Thirty- one (72.1%) had mild discomfort, seven (18.7%) moderate and 5(9.2%)severe in visual analogue scale.
Conclusions: Urgency was found to be a frequent indication for diagnostic cystoscopy and use of rigid cystoscope using inra-urethral gel showed only mild discomfort to majority of patients.

Published: August 2021

This article studies the changing of concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from the aqueous humor sample, before and after intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab, for treatment of complicated proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and the correlation with clinical features. This study was implemented with prospective and interventional case series; 1.25 mg of Bevacizumab was injected into the vitreous cavity to treat PDRin 48 eyes of 29 patients. Aqueous humor samples were obtained before intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab and one week after. Study results showed: VEGF concentration decreased from 474.23±361.32 pg/ml to 16.96±18.11 pg/ml (p=0.000) at all eyes after one-week injection. There were no differences in levels of VEGF among groups according to the vitreous haemorrhage, tractional retinal detachment, and retinal fibrosis. Therefore, the study exhibited a better understanding of the role of anti-VEGF in the adjuvant treatment of complicated PDR.

The risk factors related to the occurrence of Streptococcosis disease in cultured freshwater tilapia in Hai Duong, Bac Giang, An Giang, Vinh Long, and Dong Thap provinces, were determined based on results obtained by proactive monitoring approach, including observing and analysing water quality and disease occurrence in tilapia during the period 2012 to 2019. The results showed that NO2-N>0.25 mg/l is the most risk related to Streptococcosis disease in tilapia with odds ratio OR=37.4, followed by temperature ≥30oC (OR=16.5), H2S>0.02 mg/l (OR=10), NH3>1 mg/l (OR=8.2), the density of Streptococcus spp. ≥1000 cfu/ml (OR=6.9), and the lowest was pH>8.5 (OR=2.5). Chemical oxygen demand (COD)>10 mg/l, NH4-N>1 mg/l are positively correlated, but not risk factors related to Streptococcosis in tilapia. Dissolved oxygen (DO), Aeromonas spp., and total aerobic bacteria density in cultured water were not correlated and associated with the appearance of Streptococcosis in tilapia.

The aim of this study was to identify the primary materials for in vitro propagation of the Petunia hybrida L. The sterilisation method and the medium in different stages: shoot regeneration, rapid shoot multiplication, and the part of the in vitro plant used for rapid multiplication were identified. The study results showed that using nodal segments with axillary buds as the primary material and sterilising by HgCl2 0.1% in 10 minutes gave the best disinfection effect (survival rate reached 60%). Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1 mg of BAP/l + 6.5 g agar/l + 30 g sacarose/l was reported as the best one for shoot regeneration (100% of shoot formed and number shoot per sample was 2.73), meanwhile, the mixture of MS + 1 mgBA/l + 0.2 mg IBA/l + 6.5 g agar/l + 30 g sacarose/l was considered as the best medium for rapid shoot multiplication (average shoots/sample reached 19.53). In vitro,leaf tissue is the most suitable vegetative organ for rapid multiplication, 100% of in vitro shoots regenerate through the form of callus, and the ratio of shoots/sample reached 21.53.
