Authors: Shava Justify Gotami , Kageler Susan Richardson , Dari Shorai , Magama Frank , Rukuni Dzingai
Published: August 2019

Since its introduction to Zimbabwean farmers in the early 20th Century, flue –cured tobacco has grown to become one of the most profitable field crops to cultivate in the country. However, pests and diseases have been reported as some of the major contributors to yield and quality loss in the business of tobacco farming in Zimbabwe and across the world reducing the profitability of the tobacco business. This has resulted in large sums of financial resources being invested in research aimed at controlling pests and diseases in different crops. In Zimbabwe millions of litres of pesticides have been pumped into the environment in an effort to control pests and diseases in flue-cured tobacco fields. There have also been efforts to incorporate inherent pest and disease resistance in the varieties of flue-cured tobacco developed in the country since the early 1940s. This paper is a review of the breeding efforts to incorporate pest and disease resistance in the elite flue-cured tobacco germplasm used to develop some of the popular varieties in Zimbabwe.
Hypersensitive Responses in Plants

Published: August 2019

Hypersensitivity is a natural defense for plants in response to a variety of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and is characterized by a programmed cell death (PCD) accompanied by an accumulation of toxic compounds within the dead cell. Hypersensitive response (HR) is considered a biochemical reaction rather than a structural defense mechanism but can be seen with the naked eye or with a microscope. There are two types of hypersensitive responses: structural and induced. PCD is seen in both structural as well as in induced hypersensitive response. PCD is extreme resistance shown by the plants in which it kills its cells (suicidal death), upon a perception of the pathogen to deprive it of nutritional supply and stops its growth. Cell death plays a central role in innate immune responses in both plants and animals. Apoptosis and autophagy are physiological processes and two forms of biochemical PCD. Induced hypersensitive response comes out when the plant recognizes specific pathogen-produced signal molecules known as elicitors. Recognition of elicitors by the host plants activates an army of biochemical reactions. These reactions include an oxidative burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS), alterations in plant cell wall also including cell wall immunity (CWI) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), induction of phytoalexins and synthesis of PR proteins. These all, are comprised under the first line of defense of plants which come into action after recognition of conserved molecules characteristic of many microbes. These are called elicitors and are known as microbeassociated or pathogen-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs or PAMPs). The second line of defense of plants is the recognition of effectors through plant resistance gene products known as R genes, which result in effector-triggered immunity (ETI). This is supported by the gene for gene hypothesis. Avirulence gene encodes a protein which is specifically recognized by genotypes of the host plant harboring the matching resistance genes.

Published: August 2019

Pea is a small duration pulse crop which gives a different performance in field emergence and seed yield at different soil type and environment. Major factors that deteriorate pea yield are a fungal infection at germination, low nodules formation and slow food stimulation process to seeds. For surpassing such a problem, seed priming is the best solution. Seed priming is of many types depending upon the priming material like chemicals, bio-agents, water, nanoparticles, radiations, growth hormones and many more. Using different priming technique, seed’s hormonal and metabolomic process can be altered and managed in a positive way, resulting in better germination and appropriate plant stand with greater biological and seed yield. This review deals with different priming techniques and their effect on pea crop’s germination, phenological and yield attributing traits for getting good crop establishment and better yield performance.

Authors: Wold Stephanie L. , Punjani Neelam Saleem , Graham Michelle M. , Norris Colleen M.
Published: August 2019

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of and reasons for six months unplanned readmission to hospital post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Background: PCI has become an important and effective way of treating heart disease; however the occurrence of hospital readmission post PCI is not well documented. Methods: The frequency of hospital readmissions were tracked for six months following PCI using the APPROACH registry database. The incidence of and reasons for hospital readmission were determined using the Capital Health Region Administrative Database and the ICD-10 coding for hospital readmission. Results: Of 2641 subjects, it was observed that 4.5% of patients were readmitted to hospital within six months of PCI and 18.6% of patients visited the ED for reasons directly related to PCI. The top reasons for readmission were chest pain (31.2%), atherosclerotic heart disease (24.3%), bleeding/complications with anticoagulation (10.9%), myocardial infarction (7.5%) and procedural complications (3.7%). Factors shown to be independent predictors of hospital readmission were congestive heart failure (p = 0.009), pulmonary disease (p = 0.008), malignancy (p = 0.002), liver disease (p = 0.012) and female gender (p = 0.015). Conclusions: The data indicates that while in-patient six months unplanned hospital readmission post PCI is relatively low, ED visits are substantial. The creation of a post PCI clinic and/or a post PCI hotline may prove to be useful in decreasing hospital visits post PCI. If patients are routinely followed up in the early post PCI period, access to health care may be improved, allowing complications to be observed sooner and care to be given quicker.

Published: August 2019

Background and Objectives: The nurses shift handover is an integral component of nursing care and a highly complex process of communication aimed at improving patients' outcomes. Despite its significance, there is no universal approach to handover protocols. Our aim was to explore critical care nurses views on handover and to explore the association between views of handover and selected socio demographic variables. Method and Materials: Descriptive cross-sectional research design with 108 nurses working in adult critical care units at two tertiary teaching hospitals of the Chitwan district, Nepal, by using a nonprobability, enumerative sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-5 scale questionnaire exploring views on the quality and effectiveness of handover among nurses. Median was used to reflect nurses' views and a cutoff value of median (99) was used to discriminate between positive and negative views. Chi square was used to test the association between views and selected sociodemographic variables. Results: The study findings revealed that only 50.9% of the nurses had positive views regarding handover. The significant associated variables were working hospital, working unit, level of work performance and duration of handover (p = 0.002, p = 0.002, p = 0.029, p = 0.004 respectively). Conclusion: The findings of the present study point out the need for nurses to adhere to a handover protocol, as well as the need to develop a practical and comprehensive standardized protocol to transmit crucial and relevant information related to patient care, in order to enhance the safety of nursing practice in the area of basic nursing care and communication about patients' condition.
Content Analysis in Critical and Emergency Care: A Discussion Paper
Authors: Karanikola Maria N.K.
Published: August 2019

Introduction: Content analysis, although firstly introduced in social sciences as a qualitative research method, has become a popular method for inquiry in healthcare sciences, including emergency and critical care nursing. Aim: The aim of content analysis is to interpret qualitative data through coding and analytical identification of themes or schemas. Results: There are different forms of content analysis, according to the aim of the study, (a) the conventional approach, (b) the direct approach, and (c) the summative approach. The depth of the analysis is defined by the degree to which the researcher reveals the covered meanings included in data. The range of the analysis is defined by the number of the identified themes and relevant categories of themes, and mainly of how abstract is the identified association among the different categories of themes. Balancing the strengths against the researcher-identified limitations and other weaknesses of the study, the researchers determine the value or trustworthiness of study findings, aiming to increase the transferability of the findings to other populations. Conclusion: Qualitative research is under-used as a research method in emergency and critical care despite the limitless variations of clinical research questions that can be investigated through this method of inquiry and relevant study designs, including content analysis.

Este CIUR incluye cuatro aportaciones: En la primera Marian Simón y Jon Sanz plantean cómo para los movimientos por la soberanía alimentaria, sería estratégico incidir en los mecanismos de ordenación y planificación espacial, desde los que forzar la reorganización del sistema de producción y consumo. En esa línea, Luis Alberto Bermejo y Fátima Cubas explican los conflictos derivados de los planes de espacios protegidos, que restringen usos tradicionales, las dificultades del pastoreo en zonas fragmentadas por la expansión urbana en La Orotava (Tenerife) y la experiencia de la mediación institucional para nuevos planes de ordenación. Desde otra perspectiva y mirando a las luchas alimentarias en las periferias urbanas en Lisboa (Portugal) Inés Morales reflexiona sobre las contradicciones de los planes de urbanización y las estrategias de los movimientos alimentarios y la contribución de ambos a los actuales procesos de 'desposesión planificada' y gentrificación. Por último, Marta Sánchez presenta las estrategias de las comunidades campesinas de El Chaco (Argentina). La ordenación y uso del territorio en la región chaqueña están subordinados a los intereses geopolíticos y económicos sobre el territorio, como consecuencia de la matriz extractiva de desarrollo dominante.Abstract:Four contributions make up this CIUR Journal: In the first one Marian Simon and Jon Sanz explain that for those social movements engaged in food sovereignty, it is strategic to influence spatial planning instruments, as it would leverage the reorganization of the production and the consumption in the food system. Luis Alberto Bermejo and Fátima Cubas explain the conflicts generated by wilderness protection plans, which restrict traditional uses. The difficulties for grazing in those areas fragmented by the urban expansion in La Orotava (Tenerife) has been dealt with the institutional mediation for new management plans. From another perspective and looking at food struggles in urban peripheries in Lisbon (Portugal) Inés Morales reflects on the contradictions of urbanization plans and the strategies of food movements and the contribution of both to the current processes of 'planned dispossession' and gentrification. Finally, Marta Sánchez presents the strategies of the peasant communities of El Chaco (Argentina). Land use and planning in the Chaco region are subordinated to geopolitical and economic interests, as a consequence of the extractive matrix of the  dominant model of development.

Published: August 2019

Botulismo é uma doença rara, grave, de progressão rápida e potencialmente letal causada pela toxina botulínica, uma das mais potentes neurotoxinas produzida por algumas espécies de bactérias clostridiais, mais frequentemente pela Clostridium botulinum, um bacilo Gram-positivo com formato de bastonete, exclusivamente anaeróbico, que pode formar esporos, ubíquo e facilmente isolado de solo, poeiras, legumes e frutos. O termo botulismo inclui o botulismo alimentar, o botulismo por ferimentos, o botulismo infantil e a toxemia intestinal. A principal manifestação clínica do botulismo é a paralisia simétrica descendente flácida aguda num doente em estado de alerta sem febre nem alterações sensoriais, que pode progredir para comprometimento respiratório. O seu tratamento baseia-se essencialmente num diagnóstico precoce, cuidados intensivos e administração atempada de antitoxina botulínica. Este estudo pretende fazer uma revisão do conhecimento actual sobre o botulismo destacando a sua relevância clínica, etiologia, epidemiologia, transmissão, diagnóstico, tratamento e prevenção. Pode ser concluído que o botulismo é um problema de saúde pública que requer cuidados especiais ao nível da prevenção da sua etiologia, especialmente no que se refere à preparação de alimentos.

A estética continua a ser um elemento importante para a Arte e a Literatura, e se caracteriza pela busca da construção estética de experiência para os sujeitos inseridos no universo ficcional ou narrativo. O objetivo da discussão que propomos traça um debate sobre as produções literárias, coletâneas, e relatos apresentados em um modelo que não é mais o livro, mas tem como locus o ciberespaço e as redes sociais. Observamos a página SP Invisível, que se retrata como um movimento que divulga histórias dos invisíveis (moradores de rua) que possam contrastar com modos de vida de pessoas distantes dessa experiência. As histórias são também contadas no website SP Invisível, e o grupo acabou produzindo, a partir delas, um livro. Contudo, a experiência literária foi iniciada a partir de uma estética peculiar, das postagens neste ambiente de interações cibernéticas. Discutimos então a estética, a narrativa, o gênero digital e, na sequência, apresentamos esta forma de construção de obra literária e de coesão do conteúdo partindo da experiência narrativa da fanpage SP Invisível no Facebook.

Published: August 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é debater os desafios e as perspectivas epistemológicas interdisciplinares de se fazer ciência em torno do objeto desenvolvimento e, em sua adjetivação sustentável. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica, a fim de proporcionar uma maior acuidade semântica aos conceitos operacionais em análise, visto sua característica polissêmica. Nessa perspectiva, considera-se que fazer ciência a partir do conceito de desenvolvimento em sua variável sustentável requer não apenas o reconhecimento do fundamento epistemológico interdisciplinar, sobre o qual se assenta a possibilidade de produzir conhecimentos com consistência científica suficiente para responder as demandas locais e regionais de desenvolvimento. Mas, sobretudo, assumir uma postura interdisciplinar, de abertura teórica, conceitual e empírica no intercurso dialógico com as mais diversas ciências em torno do objeto por excelência, o desenvolvimento. Assim, o que está em questão diante de uma postura epistemológica interdisciplinar não é a afirmação das verdades de uma determinada ciência, ou de uma determinada área do conhecimento humano em torno do caráter polissêmico do objeto desenvolvimento em sua variável predicativa “sustentável”, mas a aceitabilidade de que outras formas de analisar o objeto contribuem com a ampliação compreensiva do mesmo e, sobretudo, orientadoras da ação humana do mesmo no mundo.

A irradiação de alimentos é uma tecnologia que consiste em expor os alimentos a raios ionizantes de forma segura, a fim de eliminar crescimento microbiano, aumentando a conservação do produto. Entretanto, o consumidor não tem se mostrado capaz de identificar ou definir tal técnica, muito menos afirmar o que é um alimento irradiado. Diante disso foi aplicado um questionário online para consumidores em Palmas-Tocantins, quanto ao conhecimento sobre este tratamento. O objetivo foi traçar o perfil do consumidor e verificar seu conhecimento. O questionário foi aplicado para os habitantes de Palmas, estruturado com 10 questões, onde 9 são objetivas e 1 discursiva. Resultados indicaram que 57% dos participantes não sabem o que são alimentos irradiados, ainda 74% desconhecem o símbolo de alimentos irradiados e que o mesmo deve estar no rótulo. Além disso, 58% afirmaram não saber se consumiriam estes alimentos, porém 66% acreditam que não maléficos a saúde. Conclui-se que há a necessidade de esclarecimentos ao consumidor, quanto ao processo e benefícios de tal, principalmente em rótulos.

The aim was to analyze the variables of physiotherapy index of the ventilatory workload (PIVW) in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during stability and exacerbation in an outpatient setting. Material and Methods: Analyzed retrospectively of 198 clinical records were reviewed. The PIVW was extracted in stability and exacerbation of these patients with COPD. After applying the exclusion and inclusion criteria; 54 patients were classified. Through the statistical analysis of chi-square, a significant association was reported for each of the variables and the total PIVW score. Results: when analyzing the baseline with the peak of PIVW, there was a significant increase in patients COPD exacerbation. Similarly, the variables that constitute the loads, translations and supports underwent a significant increase from baseline to exacerbation (p<0.0001), except for the additional oxygen contribution, where the frequency of patients was the same in basal and exacerbation as well. Conclusions: the PIVW, serves to determine ventilatory problemas in outpatients, characterizing the specific changes of loads, translators or assistance.
Integrating Dimensions of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Within Umranic Framework

Published: August 2019

This paper aims to suggest an integration of dimensions, especially economic, social, environmental, and politics that are embedded in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within a framework called Umran. This Umranic framework hails from the idea of distinguished Muslim philosopher, historian and sociologist Ibn Khaldun, that is based on Islamic doctrines. As the present integration of the dimensions seems to be problematic, an exploration into the integration within Umranic framework is believed to be potentially a contributive endeavor. Based on an overview of literatures and a content analysis, this paper found that integrating dimensions of SDGs within the Umranic framework appears in the triangle of relationship between God, humans, and environment. This triangle exists in the form of an Islamic economic system. In this system, economic activities of natural resource utilization in various types of ownership undertake the sustainability dimension, that is the environmental protection and the promotion of equitable distribution, followed by the implementation of management of ownership and distribution rights according to Islamic rules. The pre-requisite on the part of the players is the high levels of spirituality. The application of this Islamic economic system followed by its political dimension will guarantee the achievement of SDGs even though it needs adjustment to a number of SDGs’ indicators that are not in accordance to Islamic teachings.

This study examines the concept of khalwat modern era. Which is actually khalwat can be meaningful solitude. In Islamic terms alone, there is khalwat which means the shining of men and women who have no mahrom relationship. Then, there is also khalwat which means giving away the soul from the crowd of people. This is the Sufic meaning that will be developed in this study. This qualitative and literary research attempts to decipher the meaning of khalwat in the sufistic world. Then it is applied in the model of service of the Naqshabandi Order. Namely the model of remembrance with certain wirid and with conditions or special murshid (spiritual teacher). The conclusion of this study is that the meaning of khalwat in the right modern era is to offer soul without the body. That is, feeling alone in the crowd so that the perpetrator does not have to leave the activity, but gives spiritual value in his activities.
Urgensi Tasawuf dalam Membentuk Kepribadian Umat (Telaah Keberagamaan dengan Pendekatan Psikologi Humanistik)
Authors: Rakhman Itmam Aulia
Published: August 2019

Psychology concentrates on the human soul, while Sufism seeks to purify the soul or heart to be closer to the Most Holy. Psychologists try to provide a kind of tips for treating the heart, among others: love and respect all things, everyone, and yourself, believe that they have the ability; always grateful for all gifts received. If the theory of psychoanalysis and behaviorism does not respect humans, because in psychoanalysis, humans are seen only serving the desires of the subconscious, behaviorism views humans as beings who submit to the environment, then humanistic psychology views humans as a positive and decisive existence. Humans are seen as unique creatures who have love, creativity, value and meaning and personal growth. This research reveals that the focus of humanism theory is on the meaning of life, and this problem in humanistic psychology is called homo ludens, namely humans who understand the meaning of life.

The purpose of this article is to provide an understanding to the reader about how sufistic therapy is carried out for super students at the at-Taqy Jepara Islamic Boarding School and what the benefits are. Super Santri is a term chosen by the manager of the at-Taqy Islamic boarding school to refer to santri with schizophrenia. Sufistic therapy is the treatment of the soul through certain practices in accordance with Sufism teachings. The qualitative method with an interpretative phenomenology approach is used so that the meaning of the sufistic therapy process and its benefits can be well explained. The results of this paper indicate that sufistic therapy performed in the form of ablution and bathing repentance is aimed at super santri with severe degrees of pain. While prayers in congregation and other worship rituals are aimed at super santri with mild illness. The perceived benefits in the form of super students' emotional changes from labile to stable until healing is obtained.

Authors: Wise Kelsey L. , Ridley Taylor J. , Macalena Jeffrey M.
Published: August 2019

Cartilage lesions of the knee pose a difficult challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Osteochondral allograft transplantation is an option in the setting of large chondral or osseous defects, or after failure of other treatment options
1–3
. The use of allograft offers the benefit of utilizing both viable hyaline cartilage and bone
4
. Fresh allografts are usually transplanted into the femoral condyle, although they can also be used in the patella, tibial plateau, or femoral trochlea
1
. Research has shown that patients who undergo this procedure for the treatment of focal and diffuse chondral defects have favorable outcomes and satisfaction scores
1
. The procedure is performed as follows. (1) Preoperative evaluation: patients are evaluated for a cartilage procedure after obtaining history, examination, and imaging (radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging). (2) Approach: a longitudinal parapatellar tendon arthrotomy is performed. (3) Debridement: the lesion is identified, and unstable cartilage is debrided back to stable cartilage. (4) Measure defect: the recipient site depth is measured in 4 positions, as on the face of a clock (12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock). (5) Template allograft: a sizer is used to template the allograft hemicondyle. (6) Secure and harvest allograft: the allograft is secured in the Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation Surgery (OATS) Workstation (Arthrex) and harvested from cadaver bone. (7) Measure depth: the recipient depth measurements are marked on the allograft. (8) Cut graft: the graft is held with allograft-holding forceps while graft is cut with a saw. (9) Check measurements: allograft measurements are checked to ensure that they match recipient measurements. (10) Round edges: the osseous ends are rounded to assist with insertion of graft. (11) Irrigate: the allograft is irrigated after final cuts. (12) Graft insertion: the graft is inserted after lining up the 12-o’clock position recipient and donor reference marks and is held in place with a press fit. (13) Closure: standard closure in layers is performed.
SCREENING OF THE ACID MEAT CONDITION IN THE RENDEMENT NAPOLE GENE USING POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION - RESTRICTION FRAGMENT LENGTH POLYMORPHISM

A mutation in the rendement napole (RN) gene causes the acid meat condition which results to poor meat quality due to its reduced water holding capacity, low pH, pale color, reduced processing and cooking yield due to increased drip, and strong metallic taste. This study was conducted to detect the mutation in the RN gene in 535 commercial breeder pigs from the Philippines. Blood collection was done then subjected to DNA extraction and genotyping using polymerase chain reaction - restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) using the enzyme BsrBI, then validated by DNA sequencing. Results revealed that 97.01% of the breeder pigs did not have the mutation in their RN gene, while 2.69% had at least one copy of the defective allele in their gene. The acid meat condition has only been previously detected in the Hampshire breed whereas this study found the mutations predominantly in Pietrain and Landrace breed they were classified as normal (rn/rn), heterozygous mutants (RN/rn), and homozygous mutants (RN/RN) which allowed breeding systems to be developed ensuring that all offspring are free of the defect.  This genetic screening will help in detecting the presence of the defect in a given swine population and reduce the unwanted effects on meat quality thus increasing its market value.

Several steganographic methods using for embedding of hidden data in electronic text documents
Authors: Blinova E. A. , Sushchenia A. A.
Published: August 2019

The description of the method and algorithm for embedding a hidden message or a digital watermark into files of Microsoft Word electronic documents in .DOCX format based on two steganographic methods is given. A Microsoft Word electronic document in .DOCX format is used as a steganographic container. One of the methods uses the features of displaying a document by a word processor and the word processor allows the displacement of hidden characters, such as spaces, tabs and paragraphs, in the text relatively to the line of text. The second method uses the feature of the .DOCX format electronic text document that a document is an archive containing Open XML format files and media files, so specialized steganographic methods for XML files can be used for embedding a hidden message. In this case the quotes replacement method is used. The embedding of a hidden message by one of the methods is used for checking the integrity of the other message through the second method. Depending on the capacity of the steganographic container a method can be chosen to embed the message and

a method to control the integrity of the message. The algorithm of the inverse steganographic transformation for extracting a message and confirming the integrity of an electronic document is considered. The application is developed to perform the embedding of a hidden message in an electronic text document depending on the capacity of the container. The possibility of using of some steganographic methods is analyzed with the aim of forming a multi-key steganographic system intended for a digital watermarking of an electronic document Microsoft Word format .DOCX.
From LMS to adaptive training systems

Published: August 2019

The use of information technology and, in particular, learning management systems, increases the ability of both the teacher and the learner to achieve their goals in the educational process. Such systems provide educational content, help organize and monitor training, collect progress statistics, and can also take into account the individual characteristics of each user of the system. The purpose of this study is to determine the direction of development of modern learning systems and technologies for their implementation. The evolution of learning management systems, the transition to intelligent learning systems, the main stages of such systems were reviewed, the types of learning sequences were analyzed, the transformation

into adaptive learning systems was identified, and the scheme of the system and its mathematical model were presented. Expertise systems, the theory of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, cluster analysis, as well as genetic algorithms and artificial neural networks are defined as the mechanisms for implementing the learning systems. An artificial neural network in an adaptive learning system will allow you to create a unique training program that will build on existing knowledge and the level of perception of educational material by students. By formalizing the intellectual processes that both the teacher and the student carry out, it is possible to automate a certain part of the teacher’s functions, reduce the cost of manual labor, which will make it easier to monitor the learning process and also make the learning process more efficient.
