Background: Some surgeons have previously advocated for a more aggressive concomitant septal myectomy to address left ventricular outflow tract obstruction; however, concerns about the surgical complications of post-septal myectomy remain. Here, we aimed to assess the clinical, echocardiographic, and pathological findings following concomitant septal myectomy with surgical aortic valve replacement. Methods: We reviewed 21 patients who underwent surgical aortic valve replacement and concomitant septal myectomy from April 2014 to September 2019. The global and regional left ventricular ejection fraction changes between the perioperative periods were analyzed using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography. The resected myocardium was pathologically assessed. Results: No operative mortality was observed during the study period. Transthoracic echocardiography showed no significant differences in preoperative and postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (68.1 ± 9.9% vs. 68.6 ± 6.0%, p = 0.82) or interventricular septum thickness (11.9 ± 1.4 mm vs. 11.5 ± 1.5 mm, p = 0.23). Interventricular septum thickness at the end-systolic phase, which is the maximum septal wall thickness, was significantly reduced postoperatively (27.7 ± 9.3 mm vs. 22.6 ± 5.5 mm, p < 0.05). The basal, mid, and apical septal areas improved with septal myectomy by 80%, 230%, and 27%, respectively, compared to perioperative echocardiography (basal septal, 80 ± 23%; mid septal, 230 ± 830%; apical septal, 27 ± 350%). Pathological examination of the resected myocardium revealed marked endocardial thickness (mean, 914 µm) with focal fibrosis. Conclusions: In aortic valve stenosis patients with septal hypertrophy, concomitant septal myectomy with surgical aortic valve replacement improved regional myocardial function and eliminated left ventricular outflow tract obstruction by removing thickened endocardium and prominent fibrosis.

This study investigated clove powder as a feed additive on the performance, carcass traits, and internal organ weights of broiler chickens. A total of 160-day-old (Arbo acre) broiler chickens were utilized for the study. Four diets, designated as T1, T2, T3 and T4, were formulated. T1 served as the control with no clove powder, while T2, T3 and T4 had clove powder included at 100 g, 200 g, and 300 g/100 kg of feed, respectively. The birds were distributed into 4 treatment groups, each comprising 4 replicates of ten birds each. Each treatment was randomly assigned one of the treatment diets in a completely randomized design. Significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in the final weight, weight gain, and feed intake of the birds at the starter phase. Birds in the T4 group recorded the highest values (P<0.05) for the three parameters assessed. T1 had the lowest values for the parameters. There was no significant difference in the feed conversion ratio of the birds across treatments. T4 had the lowest but non-significant feed conversion ratio. In the finisher phase, the result of the performance of the birds followed the same trend. Final weight, weight gain, and feed intake values were observed to be highest (P<0.05) in birds fed a T4-based diet. The feed conversion ratio also indicated no significant (P>0.05) difference across treatments. Live weight, dressed weight, dressing percentage, primal cuts (thigh, breast, drumstick, back, and wing) and abdominal fat indicated significant differences (P<0.05) across treatments. No significant differences (P>0.05) were observed in the internal organs of the chickens. It was concluded that incorporating clove powder up to 300 g in the broiler chicken diet improved growth performance and carcass traits without adverse effects on the internal organs of the chickens.

Published: May 2024

This study investigated the influence of three organic manure on the nutritional composition of three leguminous forages - Soybeans, Cowpeas, and Groundnuts, cultivated in the coastal Rainforest of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The four different organic manure used were poultry droppings, goat droppings, pig dung and a control (no manure application). Each organic manure represented a treatment group. Each group was replicated three times making a total of 12 experimental units. The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Proximate analysis revealed significant (p<0.05) differences in moisture, fat, ash, protein, fiber, carbohydrates, and energy content. Manure type significantly (p<0.05) affected protein, carbohydrate, and moisture content. Poultry Manure had superior performance in Cowpea Forage, while Control excelled in Soybean Forage. The anti-nutrient analysis revealed significant (p<0.05) differences in tannin, oxalate, saponin, and phytate content, impacting nutritional quality. Tannin content varied significantly (Groundnut: 65.78 mg/100g, Soybean: 109.78 mg/100g, Cowpea: 37.62 mg/100g), as did oxalate (Groundnut: 393.18 mg/100g, Soybean: 185.20 mg/100g, Cowpea: 357.13 mg/100g), saponin (Groundnut: 5.71 mg/100g, Soybean: 6.63 mg/100g, Cowpea: 6.63 mg/100g), and phytate (Groundnut: 160.89 mg/100g, Soybean: 30.63 mg/100g, Cowpea: 21.22 mg/100g). Vitamin analysis revealed variations in vitamin C (Groundnut: 57.94 mg/100g, Soybean: 58.31 mg/100g, Cowpea: 63.17 mg/100g) and β-carotene (Groundnut: 9.73 mg/100g, Soybean: 9.46 mg/100g, Cowpea: 7.51 mg/100g), indicating nutritional attributes of the studied leguminous forages. Based on the results, the treatment involving poultry dropping, goat dropping, pig dung and control all demonstrated good performance in terms of contributing to the nutritional composition of cowpea, groundnut and soybean. Thus, the use of poultry dropping and pig dung as organic manure for farmers in the region could be recommended.

Published: May 2024

El estudio se enfocó en determinar la capacidad que tiene el protozoario ciliado de vida libre Tetrahymenasp. y un consorcio de protozoarios ciliados pedunculados (Vorticella alpestris, Vorticella convallaria y Epistylis sp.) para acumular metales pesados. Se probaron tres medios de cultivo (trigo, avena, BE) para obtener el mejor crecimiento de Tetrahymena sp. El estudio se realizó en presencia de cuatro metales (cadmio, cobre, hierro y plomo) en una concentración de 50 mg/L, en presencia de dos fuentes de carbono diferentes, glucosa y el hidrolizado de la degradación de plumas de pollo. Los protozoarios se mantuvieron a 100 rpm, en oscuridad y a 19-24 °C. El mejor medio de cultivo para el crecimiento de Tetrahymena sp. fue el de trigo con una densidad de 3.55x104 protozoarios/100mL. Los protozoarios pedunculados identificados fueron Vorticella alpestris, Vorticella convallaria y Epistylis sp. En el caso de Tetrahymenasp. se observó un bajo porcentaje de acumulación de metales (7.15+/-3.87 y 6.84+/-2.50). Los protozoarios pedunculados tuvieron la capacidad acumular Co>Cd>Fe>Pb en presencia de glucosa y Cd>Pb>Co>Fe en presencia de hidrolizado de la degradación de plumas de pollo. La acumulación de los metales pesados fue factible, de tal manera que la máxima cantidad de metal acumulado fue de 48.25+/-3.66 % por el consorcio de protozoarios peritricos en presencia de cadmio con el hidrolizado como fuente de carbono.

La bugambilia (Bougainvillea sp.) es una planta trepadora de ramas leñosas con espinas. La flor es pequeña, de color amarillo blanquecino, rodeada de brácteas, que pueden tener diferentes colores como rosa, amarillo, beige, blanco, violeta, azul, etc. Por lo tanto, las brácteas de bugambilia son una fuente potencial de pigmentos para la industria alimentaria. El objetivo de este estudio fue extraer y caracterizar los pigmentos de las brácteas del árbol de la bugambilia. En un primer experimento se optimizó la obtención de los pigmentos con soluciones acuosas de etanol por extracción asistida por ultrasonido (EAU). Se evaluaron tres factores (temperatura, tiempo y concentración de etanol) a tres niveles, utilizando un diseño experimental Box-Behken; Posteriormente, se comparó este proceso con la extracción convencional por maceración. Finalmente, se evaluó el contenido de compuestos fenólicos por el método de Folin-Ciocalteu, la actividad antioxidante por el método ABTS y la actividad antimicrobiana frente a E. coli por el método de difusión en disco. En las condiciones seleccionadas (30 min, 55 °C y 60% de etanol) se obtuvo un rendimiento de 25.3 ± 2.2 % por EAU, este es mayor al obtenido por maceración (24.2 ± 2.0 %), pero esta diferencia no es estadísticamente significativa. Ambos extractos mostraron una alta capacidad antioxidante (89-90% de inhibición de la oxidación de radicales ABTS) y una cantidad considerable de compuestos fenólicos (30.9-35.9 mg EAG/g). Sin embargo, ninguno de los extractos mostró actividad antimicrobiana contra E. coli. Estos resultados servirán para estandarizar un proceso de extracción de un pigmento natural con potencial aplicación en la industria alimentaria.

Authors: Olmez Akgun , Topaloglu Haluk
Published: May 2024

- Hereditary spastic paraplegias constitute a larger group of disorders than expected. - Autosomal dominant types are mainly composed of SPAST, Atlastin (SPG3A) and REEP1 mutations. Genetic testing is suggested mainly for these genes. - The most common autosomal recessive type is SPG11, hereditary spastic paraplegia with thin corpus callosum, but SPG15 shares the same clinical features with SPG11. Genetic testing should be done for both if thin corpus callosum is present in patients. - How different genes with many different biological functions, including axonal transport, mitochondrial functions, fatty acid and cholesterol pathways and DNA repair defects, cause hereditary spastic paraplegia is still unknown.

Therefore, The proposed wearable antenna design is well suited for telemedical services.
Dynamic Model on Palm Oil Production Capacity Using Variable CPO Stock for Biofuel Production
Authors: Setiawan Arrie Tjahyo , Rinaldy Dalimi Rinaldy Dalimi
Published: May 2024

The role of biofuel for running diesel power plants is therefore indispensable for compensating various renewable plants with fluctuating output, maintaining stability to the overall power system. For expanding biofuel production, keeping the rate of investment in CPO mills is critical, as it is often driven by CPO business profit. The seasonal nature of palm-oil plantation harvest directly influences CPO production behaviour. This research investigates system dynamics model simulation for CPO production system, indicated by the feedback loop from market demand, hence influencing the daily (or monthly) CPO production to provide revenue stream to the business. Subsequently, it influences the rate of investment for increasing production capacity, forming the dynamic hypothesis for the system. The model was developed using endogenous variables, while trying to reduce the number of external inputs required to run the simulation. By substituting the price variable with the level of CPO stock at the national level, less uncertainties would affect the system such as price instability situation. Feedback signal from the level of CPO stock was utilized to control the simulated amount of CPO production, as well as the rate of re-investment for expanding the country’s production capacity. Model simulation results was able to reproduce the system behaviour for capacity increase, to meet CPO market demand. The model structure could be further replicated for efficiently developing the dynamic model for basic commodity production, where the rate of commodity production would not influence the overall market demand (decoupling of production rate from global market)

The Java-Bali electricity system is the largest electricity system in Indonesia which consists of 5 areas including Jakarta-Banten area, West Java area, Central Java area, East Java area and Bali area. This system is operated to meet the economic, reliability, quality, and green principles. In the case of reliability, one of the essential aims is minimization of transmission losses due to importance in system improvement to increase system operational efficiency to the possible extent. Transmission losses are an inevitable part of the electric power transfer process from generation stations to consumers. The power losses in a transmission line are inversely proportional to the square of the line voltage. This implies that lower line voltages result in higher power losses. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain optimal voltage levels to minimize transmission losses and ensure efficient energy delivery across the power system. One effective way to achieve this is by integrating capacitors into the system. In this study, we have explored two methods that aim to pinpoint the most advantageous locations for the integration of new capacitors. The goal is to optimize capacitor planning, with an emphasis not only on improving voltage levels but also on minimizing transmission losses within the Java-Bali system. The research results indicate that implementing two proposed methods can significantly reduce transmission losses in The Java-Bali system. Method-1 involves identifying the lowest voltage over the course of a year, while Method-2 focuses on the lowest voltage value within the first quartile (Q1/25%) during the same period

Published: May 2024

In the context of the recent ‘black lives matter’ and ‘me too’movements, the issue of inclusivity and diversity, identity, gender, race,‘otherness’, is brought forth in many disciplines, architecture, academia, teachingand design practices. Although this is, of course, a positive progress, oneneeds to be mindful of the complexities and the potentially conflictual effectsof a normalisation, especially if this dismisses or disallows space for furtherprocesses of disruption, or if this commodifies queer space, objectifies theother, and hence distances it further. In this context, this study reflects onthe relationship between place, bodies, contested norms and social conventions,focusing on Soho, London as a case study, and on the associated evolution ofqueer spaces and narratives.

Recent changes in the book publishing market are partly contrary to some earlier forecasts. New trends that no one could have predicted are emerging instead of those that seemed highly sustainable not long ago. The present paper aims to unveil deep shifts in the structure of book publishing and sales, new patterns of consumer preferences with special attention to the Russian book market specifics. We analyzed both secondary data obtained from open sources, government documents and officially published reports, and primary data collected through interviews and survey, to have a more comprehensive picture. The results confirm that the development of the Russian book publishing market is consistent with the global trends, though with its own peculiarities significant for publishing companies and their production plans. Thus, while electronic and hardcopy books cost approximately the same in the developed countries, in Russia e-books are 30-40% cheaper. Another specific feature is that foreign authors occupy the majority of popularity ratings. At the same time, the current "fight for customers" between e-book and paper book production is more of a long-term phenomenon, and we should not expect a dramatic shift in book type preferences for consumers in the nearest future..

Published: May 2024

Since 2018, there has been an increase in the use of the term Science of Reading (SoR), which is a method of teaching reading that is connected to an understanding of reading and reading development that aligns with scientific research (Shanahan, 2020). Teachers who are new to the classroom may be unfamiliar with SoR and teaching practices that align with this pedagogy. Institutions of higher education, specifically graduate literacy programs, are in a position to support and mentor new teachers with the current shift in literacy instruction. This article addresses changes that can be made to graduate course content in order to support new teachers, particularly during this shift to a new method of literacy instruction. This article offers ideas for how higher education can play a role in better preparing new teachers for SoR instruction.
