Published: February 2023

Biduri (Calotropis gigantea) was a plant with several benefits, namely as a medicinal plant and textile material. Biduri was a wild plant that could grow in various types of soil conditions. The existence of biduri was still not fully utilized by many people. So it was necessary to develop the cultivation technology of Biduri to take advantage of this plant. This research was conducted at the field laboratory of Jumantono, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Karanganyar, and used a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), which consisted of 2 factors, namely organic liquid fertilizer from livestock waste and mycorrhizae. Livestock waste liquid fertilizer consists of 40ml/kg soil cow urine, 40ml/kg soil goat urine, 40ml/kg soil rabbit urine, and 40ml/kg soil fish waste. Mycorrhizae consisted of 0 grams/plant, 5 grams/plant, 10gram/plant, and 15gram/plant. There were 20 treatment combinations repeated 3 times, so the total was 60 treatment combinations. The interaction between livestock waste liquid fertilizer and mycorrhizae did not significantly affect all the physiological observation variables. The results showed that the application of livestock waste liquid fertilizer had no significant effect on all observations of physiological variables. Giving mycorrhizae shows that it can increase the number of stomata and the width of stomata aperture.

ANALYSIS OF THE INNOVATIVE ACTIVITY OF INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS FROM THE STANDPOINT OF A SYSTEMS APPROACH
Authors: Zaruba Viktor , Parfentenko Irena
Published: February 2023

The approaches to assessing the attractiveness of innovations by organizations that develop and use them in their business are considered. There are flaws in the marketing (economic) approach, according to which innovations are assessed by the expected economic effect from their commercialization, and in the technological approach, according to which the purpose of innovations is limited to an increase in the technical level of production and of the quality of products. Our proposal is to use a system sapproach to assess the attractiveness of innovation. In accordance with it, innovations are assessed by the degree of their compliance with the goals and objectives of the organization at the strategic, tactical and operational levels of management. Since strategic level innovation is critical to the development of an organization, the innovation strategy should be an integral part of the overall development strategy of the organization. The research methodology in the work was made up of the systems aspects of the presentation and analysis of the activities of organizations in praxeology, the theory of viable systems, the concept of the system of resources of activity, strategic management. It is shown that in accordance with these areas of research, an organization should be considered as a system of reproduction of its resources, during which they are replenished and renewed. The purpose of reproduction is to ensure and increase the viability of the organization through its adaptation to the environment. In the activity of the organization, it is proposed to distinguish its current reproductive and innovative types of activity The way of current reproduction is determined by the production technology, the composition of marketable products, policies and technologies of the organization's interaction with stakeholders. Radical innovation leads to a change of the way of current reproduction. The way of innovative activity is determined by its objects (technological or product innovations) and the stage of the innovation process at which the organization is connected to bring it to the stage of implementation of technological innovation or to the stage of commercialization of product innovation. There are analyzed the influence of typical situations in which organizations can act on the ways of their innovative activity. The characteristics of the situation of the organization's activity were the resources available to it, corresponding to its industry affiliation, the organization's environment, as well as the relations and connections of the organization with the environment. There are identified 3 typical situations of activity, which differ in the level of science intensity of the industries in which the organizations operate. There are determined the features of innovative strategies of organizations for the selected situations of activity.

Update

This article was updated on February 10, 2023, because of a previous error. On page 1, the title that had read “Team Approach” with the subtitle “Metal Hypersensitivity in Total Joint Arthroplasty” now reads “Team Approach: Metal Hypersensitivity in Total Joint Arthroplasty” with no subtitle.

An erratum has been published: JBJS Rev. 2023;11(2):e22.00157ER.

» As total joint arthroplasty volume continues to grow nationwide, more uncommon complications such as metal implant hypersensitivity are reported with greater frequency in the literature.

» Metal hypersensitivity is a challenging diagnosis given the potentially vague symptomology. It should be considered a diagnosis of exclusion, necessitating careful consideration of other potential etiologies of a failing implant before arriving at the final diagnosis of metal hypersensitivity.

» Patients can experience substantial morbidity from implant rejection and in severe, refractory cases may even require revision arthroplasty and conversion to a hypoallergenic implant.

» Given the complex nature of the condition, successful treatment of metal hypersensitivity to orthopaedic implants is best achieved through the use of a multidisciplinary, team-based approach. Immunologists, radiologists, and infectious disease physicians as well as orthopaedic surgeons and mechanical engineers are all vital in appropriate diagnosis and treatment of the condition.

Published: February 2023

» Bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA) is an effective surgical treatment for bilateral knee arthritis and can be performed as a simultaneous surgery under a single anesthetic setting or as staged surgeries on separate days.

» Appropriate patient selection is important for simultaneous BTKA with several factors coming into consideration such as age, comorbidities, work status, and home support, among others.

» While simultaneous BTKA is safe when performed on appropriately selected patients, current evidence suggests that the risk of complications after simultaneous BTKA remains higher than for staged BTKA.

» When staged surgery is preferred, current evidence indicates that complication risks are minimized if the 2 knees are staged at least 3 months apart.

» Simultaneous BTKA is the economically advantageous treatment option relative to staged BTKA, primarily because of shorter total operative time and total hospital stay.

Published: February 2023

Alih fungsi lahan pertanian yang terus terjadi di sentra-sentra produksi, khususnya komoditas pangan, harus diimbangi dengan penambahan lahan pertanian baru. Jika tidak, hal ini dapat mengancam program ketahanan pangan secara nasional. Tulisan ini bertujuan mengkaji lahan-lahan berproduktivitas tinggi di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat dan Nusa Tenggara Timur untuk pengembangan pertanian.   Tanah di kedua provinsi ini didominasi lahan kering beriklim kering, tetapi sebagian tanahnya mempunyai karakteristik yang baik untuk pengembangan pertanian. Di wilayah ini masih terdapat banyak padang rumput dan belukar yang berpotensi untuk pengembangan pertanian, antara lain terdapat di Kabupaten Bima, Sumbawa Barat Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat, dan Kabupaten Timor Tengah Selatan, Timor Tengah Utara dan Kupang, Kabupaten Sumba Tengah serta sebagian besar Pulau Flores di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur. Pada umumnya tanah-tanah di wilayah ini tergolong berproduktivitas tinggi terutama yang berkembang dari bahan vulkanik dan bahan aluvial-koluvial. Kendala utama dalam pengembangan pertanian pada lahan ini adalah ketersediaan air rendah serta pada beberapa wilayah terdapat tanah bersolum dangkal. Secara teknis pengembangan kawasan pertanian harus dilakukan melalui evaluasi kesesuaian lahan  yang cocok dengan sifat biofisik dan lingkungannya, dan menerapkan teknologi yang tepat dalam menangani permasalahan di lapangan. Padi gogo, kedelai, jagung,  sorgum, kopi, dan jambu mete merupakan komoditas-komoditas yang potensial dikembangkan karena tidak terlalu banyak memerlukan air. Teknologi irigasi hemat air merupakan kunci pengelolaan air pada lahan kering beriklim kering. Penerapan teknik  irigasi ini banyak terbukti efisien, meningkatkan produksi tanaman, dan mampu mengairi lahan lebih luas. Penyediaan air suplementer pada musim kemarau merupakan kunci utama untuk meningkatkan produktivitas lahan melalui peningkatan produksi dan indeks pertanaman. Sedangkan pada lahan berlereng pembuatan teras bangku sangat bermanfaat untuk memperluas areal tanam dan mengurangi potensi erosi tanah oleh air.

Published: February 2023

The development of information system technology is needed in facing current and future agricultural challenges. An integrated agricultural information system is needed based on climate information system technology in answering this challenge. The Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development Ministry of Agriculture has developed a web-based Indonesia Integrated Cropping Calendar Information System (ICCIS). The ICCIS provides information for users in preparing planting plans. Likewise, Jaxa's Satellite-based Monitoring Network system (JASMIN-JAXA) web application that uses a satellite database covers all provinces in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. This paper aims to review the use of web-based climate information systems in the ICCIS and the JASMIN-JAXA web-based application. Integrated climate information system in ICCIS, among others: flood estimation, drought and crop pests, prediction dry season and rainy season, district-level monthly rainfall prediction map. While JASMIN is a map (rainfall, drought index, soil moisture, groundwater index, solar radiation, surface temperature, and vegetation index) with time series and data sources. Both are able to monitor climate developments for agricultural purposes, dynamic, and growing. The importance of updating and verifying data in accordance with field conditions and equipment maintenance in the system is to be continuously improved to get benefits and accuracy of results in accordance with the interests of agriculture.
Strategies for Indonesia’s Agricultural Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
Authors: Agus Fahmuddin , Surmaini Elza , Lina Helena
Published: February 2023

Agriculture is known as one of the sectors that both contributes to and is the victim of climate change. Under the adverse impacts of climate change, producing more food is an advance challenge. Rainfall and temperature controls  crop growing seasons. The frequency and intensity of the occurrence of floods and droughts are increasing, which causes crop yield decline. On the other hand,  climate change is also affected by agriculture sector’s emissions. Agriculture in Indonesia emitted about 104 Mt (million tonnes) CO2e in 2020 with the main sources of emission were from lowland rice, livestock enteric fermentation, direct N2O from soil and manure and indirect N2O from soil. Emission reduction strategies in Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) include the use of low-emission lowland rice crops varieties, implementation of efficient water management in lowland rice cultivation, manure management for biogas, and feed quality improvement for livestock. Moreover, for reaching the national emission reduction target some additional actions are needed, including: intensified use of organic fertilizers, organic village, balance fertilization which is mostly associated with improving N use efficiency, and raising water  in peatland farming. At the national level, climate change policy is more focused on mitigation ambition above that of NDC. Therefore, the country needs to look for ways that combine climate change mitigation and ensuring food security. All policies of mitigation must be in synchrony with adaptation since adaptation is the key for successful maintenance of food security.

MST2 Acts via AKT Activity to Promote Neuronal Axon Regeneration and Functional Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury in Mice
Authors: Zheng Hongming , Wang Honghai , Xu Yi , Xu Xu , Zhu Zhenghuan , Fang Jiawei , Song Zhiwen , Liu Jinbo
Published: February 2023

Background​Mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 2 (MST2), a core component of the Hippo signaling pathway, plays an crucial role in apoptosis and cell growth. However, its role in axon regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI) was first elucidated in this study.Methods​We first screened the proteins involved in spinal cord contusion injury using a mouse model utilizing 4D label-free proteomic analysis. We selected the neuronal axon regeneration-associated protein MST2 as our target protein. In vitro and in vivo experiments were applied to explore the function of MST2. We then performed additional experiments, such as co-immunoprecipitation and so on to confrm the downstream molecular mechanisms of MST2.Results​We confirmed that MST2, mainly expressed in neurons, promoted axon regeneration by positively regulating AKT activity in neuronal cell models and primary cortical neurons. Mechanistically, our studies found that MST2 protein could interact both with AKT and p-AKT in vitro. In vivo, MST2 knockdown inhibits axon regeneration and motor functional recovery, while lentiviral-mediated overexpression of MST2 promoted axon regeneration and motor functional recovery after SCI. However, MST2 induced axon regeneration and motor functional recovery were reversed by AKT inhibitors.Conclusion​This study provided evidence that how MST2 acts as a new regulator that controls axon regeneration after SCI, MST2 promotes neuronal axon regeneration by positively regulating AKT activity, indicating MST2 may be a target with great therapeutic potential for SCI.
Moderate Biochar Application and Increases in Lignin and Silicon Concentrations in Stalks Synergistically Enhance Lodging Resistance of Rice
Authors: Gong Diankai , Yu Guangxing
Published: February 2023

To clarify the effects of biochar on measuring the lodging-related traits, structural carbohydrates, and the activity and gene expression of enzymes related to lignin synthesis in rice stalks, to screen the optimal dosage of biochar and to investigate the mechanism of biochar in regulating the lodging-resistant ability of rice stalks. SN265 and Akihikari, two rice varieties with evident differences in lodging resistance, were selected and treated with biochar at five dosages: 0,5,10,20,40t/hm2. With increase of the dosage of biochar, The expression levels of COMT, 4CL3, CCR20 and PAL genes related to lignin synthesis were the highest under B3 treatment. The silicon concentration in the two varieties under B3, B4 and B5 treatments was notably higher than that under B1 treatment. The numbers of large and small vascular bundles were the largest in SN265 under B3 treatment and in Akihikari under B2 treatment. Moreover, the two varieties exhibited the highest lignin concentration, the smallest lodging index and the strongest lodging resistance under B3 treatment. A certain amount of biochar can regulate the corresponding enzyme activity by increasing the expression level of lignin synthesis-related genes, and evidently increase the lignin concentration in stalks. The application of rice hull charcoal is able to dramatically raise the silicon concentration in stalks, thus improving the lodging resistance of stalks. The two approaches can synergistically improve the internode traits and breaking strength and strengthen the lodging resistance of stalks. In this study, 5–10 t/hm2 is the appropriate dosage in treatment.

Silicon drift detectors (SDDs) are widely applied for x-ray detection due to their remarkable energy resolution. The main contribution to energy resolution is the electrical noise of measurement system. In addition, other factors, including imperfect charge collection and ballistic deficit, can deteriorate the energy resolution. Those factors are closely related to the bias conditions of the device. However, the effect of bias conditions on device energy resolution has rarely been reported, primarily because the applied bias of classical SDDs is limited by twice the depletion voltage and little attention is focused on bias conditions. In order to enhance the flexibility of bias conditions and investigate the effect of bias conditions on energy resolution, we proposed a novel quasi-double-sided silicon drift detector (QD-SDD) with a drift ring structure designed on the back side. Device simulations of SDD and QD-SDD under different bias conditions were performed to obtain the transient current response of the anode. It was found that the QD-SDD has greater flexibility in bias conditions, and then better electron collection efficiency and shorter electron collection time can be realized at higher bias voltage (> 200 V). Finally, the fabricated QD-SDD was characterized using a 55Fe radioactive source. The experiment results showed that the energy resolution of QD-SDD varies with different bias conditions. The optimal energy resolution is 170 eV under the optimized bias conditions.

Objective:Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a vascular emergency resulting from decreased blood flow caused by the occlusion of the mesenteric vessels, hypoperfusion or vasospasm. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the fibrinogen-to-albumin (FAR) ratio in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia.Methods:A total of 91 patients were enrolled in the study. Patients' demographics such as age and gender, pre- and postoperative hemoglobin, CRP, white blood cell (WBC), neutrophils, preoperative lymphocyte, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), thrombocytes and postoperative D-dimer values were recorded. In addition, pre- and postoperative fibrinogen and albumin levels were recorded and FAR was calculated. Patients were divided into two groups survivors and non-survivors.Results:The mean pre- and postoperative fibrinogen levels were statistically significantly higher in the non-survivor group than in the survivor group (p<0.001). The mean pre- and postoperative albumin levels were significantly lower in the non-survivors than in the survivors (p=0.059, p<0.001; respectively). The mean pre- and postoperative FAR ratios were considerably higher in the non-survivor than in the survivor groups (p<0.001). The change between pre- and postoperative fibrinogen, albumin and FAR values were statistically significant between the non-survivors and the survivors (for all, p<0.05).Conclusion:The preoperative and postoperative fibrinogen levels were significantly higher, and albumin levels were significantly lower in the survivor compared to the non-survivor patients with AMI. Furthermore, the preoperative and postoperative FAR ratio was significantly higher in the non-survivors. The FAR ratio may be a valuable prognostic biomarker for patients with AMI.

For more efficient energy distribution system, we need a high efficiency material for charge transport. In present work we combined continuum mechanics methods for studying the effect of strain on CNT, and the change in electrical parameters as a result of CNT deformation using first principal method. We found that on applying stress on SWCNT’s, the bond lengths increase near the point of applied force from 1.42 to 1.88Å (just below the applied force and on opposite face it changes from 1.42 to 2.24 Å), and at the edged region, the bond length decreases from 1.42 to 1.28 on both side. Further there is decrease in trans conductance in A (6,6) and A(8,8), due to induces gap opening i.e. splitting of band in high energy region

Background: Uganda recently experienced an outbreak of sudan ebolavirus (SUDV) species, for which there are no approved or licensed rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). Our group has a longstanding history in the research and development (R & D) of panfilovirus RDTs. This paper describes sequencing of the coding DNA of a recombinant monoclonal antibody (7C8F1) targeting the epitope (YEAGEWAENCY, dubbed peptide 2) conserved across all ebolavirus spp glycoproteins (GP).
Methods: Mice hybridoma were prepared & cultured on Dulbecco’s modified eagle’s medium (DMEM) Total RNA was extracted using RNA-easy isolation reagent (Vazyme), and reverse transcribed into cDNA using SMARTScribe reverse transcriptase. Antibody fragments of heavy (H) and light (L) chains were amplified by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and cloned into standard vectors for screening in 5 colonies. Inserts of matching phenotypic colonies were sequenced by Sanger capillary sequencing and aligned by IMGT analysis of VDJ. Isotyping was done by constant region analysis.
Results: Consensus sequences of the coding DNA of the heavy and light chains of an isotype IgG1/kappa recombinant mice mAb (Genbank accession #s OP966768 and OP966769, respectively) are presented. The biophysical profile of the full expressed recombinant mAb demonstrate a single protein of approximately 142kda under non reducing conditions and tetramer of duplexes of 23ka and 48kda, respectively. The average area under sec-HPLC curve at a wavelength of 280nm is 2490.55
Conclusions: We present the coding DNA of the recombinant panfilovirus mAb 7C8F1 and demonstrate cloning and expression of its purified extracts within CHO mammalian cell lines.
