Assembling Storyworlds
Authors: Joyce Stephen , Mehrstam Christian , Schubart Rikke , Wille Jakob Ion
Published: June 2023

A fundamental assumption regarding fantasy worlds is that they need to have a certain degree of internal coherence and consistency, otherwise the audience’s ability to immerse themselves in the storyworld will collapse under the weight of its contradictions. It is time to reconsider some of our ideas about storyworld design. “Building” imaginary worlds implies construction according to an architectural masterplan. In Imagining the Impossible volume 2, issue 1 we consider whether “assembling” may be a more productive term, implying the conjoining of different modular parts into forms that may be put together in various ways by different fans, like someone playing with Lego pieces drawn from several different sets.
Does interscalene block increase intracranial pressure?
Authors: GÜNDOĞDU Oğuz , AVCI Onur
Published: June 2023

Interscalene brachial plexus (ISB) block is widely used in shoulder and humerus surgeries, especially in patients that have high risk for general anesthesia. Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is not among the complications of this block because there is no data about this issue in the literature. In this traumatic case report, a patient with headache and with a known meningioma in his right temporo occipital region is gonna have a proximal humerus fracture surgery with ISB block under repetitive optic nerve sheath diameter measurements. The result of this case report can add a unique information to the ISB literature.

Authors: CANBAZ Hayri , BEŞTEMİR Attila , GÜLŞEN Murat , TUNCAR Alpay
Published: June 2023

Introduction: It is known that children with neurodevelopmental diseases have frequent traumas like falling and apply to emergency department which significantly affects patient and family. Our aim is to examine the families' view and the problems encountered in emergency services by examining their answers to questionnaire.

Method: This study was designed retrospectively. Patients registered in Department of Autism, Mental Special Needs and Rare Diseases as families with children who have neurodevelopmental diseases included in the study. 324 families’ survey with 12 open-ended questions evaluated in terms of distribution and frequencies with descriptive statistical methods.

Results: By analyzing the data obtained the findings of the research were gathered under 12 main themes and 80 sub-themes. 313 (89.9%) were diagnosed with Down Syndrome, 9 (2.5%) with Angelman Syndrome, 7 (2.02%) with intellectual disability, and 5 (1.4%) with Autism. 34.2% of the children were 0-3 years old, 28.7% were 3-6 years old, 20.9% were 6-10 years old. Emergency services were used in "all cases where urgent intervention is required" (70%), and in cases where “an outpatient appointment couldn’t made" (10.8%)

Conclusion: It would be beneficial to examine children with neurodevelopmental diseases in an understanding and patient manner, using a plain and understandable language, in a quiet environment in emergency room. To solve these patient’s problems, awareness training of healthcare professionals, having separate examination and observation room, ensuring accessibility and arranging the room with necessary medical supplies and equipment should be made.
PERIODIC FEVER, APHTHOUS STOMATITIS, PHARYNGITIS, (PFAPA) SYNDROME AND NLRP3 GENE ASSOCIATION
Authors: ÜNSAL Gülşah
Published: June 2023

PFAPA syndrome, which also includes aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenitis, is the most common type of recurrent fever in children. Usually happens before the age of five. This syndrome is characterized by attacks lasting 3-7 days, recurring every 2-8 weeks with high fever (39 C and above) accompanied by at least one of the signs of aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and/or cervical adenitis. Between attacks, the child is completely healthy.PFAPA is a benign disease that regresses with age. Steroids are used in the treatment of attacks. Colchicine is often preferred in prophylactic treatment. However, if there is no response to medical treatment, surgery (tonsillectomy) can be performed. Genetic and environmental factors are considered in the etiology. Genetic susceptibility concentrated on the genes for Familiar Mediterranean Fever (FMF, MEFV), TNF-Receptor-Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS, gene TNFRF1A), HyperIgDSyndrome (HIDS, gene MVK), and Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS, gene NLRP3). But its etiology is still unknown.

Published: June 2023

Chamfer distances are step-based distances on various grids. The fourdimensional FCC grid is the extension of the usual face-centred cubic grid into four dimensions. There are two types of steps, and thus, two weights are used. Operational research, namely linear programming and Gomory cut are applied to describe optimal paths and hence, their weighted lengths, the chamfer distance.

Authors: Angelina  , Lefterova Elefteria , Marinov Yordan , Ivanova Galia , Stoyanova Antonia , Hadjichristov Georgi
Published: June 2023

We studied electrochemical alkaline systems whose Zn electrodes (anodes) contain active mass produced from composites of ZnO and B(Pb)SCCO 2212 conductive cuprate ceramics. The ceramics was added at concentrations of 5, 7 or 10 wt.%. The resulting material was structurally characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Electrochemical cells assembled with anode prepared using active mass made by employing such composites, were examined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The effect from the concentration of B(Pb)SCCO 2212 ceramics on the impedimetric response and tangent loss spectra of the electrochemical cells was studied. The results show that compared to 7 wt.% and 10 wt.% concentration of B(Pb)SCCO 2212 conductive ceramics added to the Zn material of the anode, the concentration of 5 wt.% leads to lower electric losses in the assembled electrochemical cells.

Authors: Tzvetkov George , Spassov Tony , Rangelova Vesselina
Published: June 2023

Novel g-C3N4/humins (denoted as CNH) composite was synthesized through a simple two-step method. The results indicated that humins nanoparticles with sizes ≤ 200 nm were successfully loaded on the surface of g-C3N4 (CN). The catalytic effect of the as-prepared composite on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) was investigated by means of thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses (TG-DTA). Compared with pure CN, CNH was proved to catalyze the thermal decomposition of AP more effectively. Specifically, the high temperature decomposition step of AP was decreased by 80.9 ◦C, with an increase of the total heat release to 1320 Jg−1. Besides, thepossible catalytic mechanism of AP decomposition was discussed.

Virtual CT cystoscopy is an imaging method that allows assessing of bladder wall for possible intraluminal formations. It can give a preliminary idea about the number, size and location of the lesions and their relationship to the bladder wall. The most common method of virtual cystoscopy is to apply contrast material intravenously and follow its excretion. However, this method is not applicable in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). For this reason we have developed and introduced for the first time in our country an alternative method suitable for this group of patients. It is based on the homogeneous filling of the bladder with a contrast agent during preliminary catheterization, thanks to which quality images are obtained – assisted virtual cystoscopy in conditions of CT cystography.

A total of 44 patients with hematuria underwent assisted virtual cystoscopy during retrograde CT cystography: as a primary examination in 35 cases (79.5%) and as a control study in 9 patients (20.5%) with a history of proven superficial non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. From the performed conventional urethrocystoscopy in 12 patients (27%) formations ≤ 4 mm were found, which did not have a specific diagnostically significant CT image. In 32 patients (73%) formations greater than ≥ 4 mm in diameter were observed and it was found that there is 100% coincidence in terms of location, shape and the dimensions of the volumetric process.

Assisted virtual cystoscopy in retrograde CT cystography is a method with good diagnostic results in patients with CKD and hematuria of bladder origin.
Making Meaning with Machines
Authors: LaViers Amy , Maguire Catherine
Published: June 2023

A rigorous primer in movement studies for designers, engineers, and scientists that draws on the fields of dance and robotics.

How should a gestural interface react to a “flick” versus a “dab”? Versus a “punch”? Should robots reach out to a human counterpart with a direct, telescoping action or through a circuitous arc in space? Just as different movements express the different internal states of human movers, so too can the engineered systems behind robots. In Making Meaning with Machines, Amy LaViers and Catherine Maguire offer a refreshingly embodied approach to machine design that supports the growing need to make meaning with machines by using the field of movement studies, including choreography, somatics, and notation, to engage in the process of designing expressive robots.

Drawing upon the Laban/Bartenieff tradition, LaViers and Maguire sharpen the movement analysis methodology, expanding the material through their work with machines and putting forward new conventions, such as capitalization, naming, and notation schemes, that make the embodied work more legible for academic contexts. The book includes an overview of movement studies, exercises that define the presented taxonomy and principles of movement, case studies in movement analysis of both humans and robots, and state-of-the-art research at the intersection of robotics and dance.

Making Meaning with Machines is a much-needed primer for observing, describing, and creating a wide array of movement patterns, which ultimately can help facilitate broader and better design choices for roboticists, technologists, and designers.
Kids Across the Spectrums
Authors: Alper Meryl
Published: June 2023

An ethnographic study of diverse children on the autism spectrum and the role of media and technology in their everyday lives.

In spite of widespread assumptions that young people on the autism spectrum have a “natural” attraction to technology—a premise that leads to significant speculation about how media helps or harms them—relatively little research actually exists about their everyday tech use. In Kids Across the Spectrums, Meryl Alper fills this gap with the first book-length ethnography of the digital lives of autistic young people. Based on research with more than sixty neurodivergent children from an array of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, Kids Across the Spectrums delves into three overlapping areas of their media usage: cultural belonging, social relationships, and physical embodiment.

Alper's work demonstrates that what autistic youth do with technology is not radically different from their nonautistic peers. However, significant social and health inequalities—including limited recreational programs, unsafe neighborhoods, and challenges obtaining appropriate therapeutic services—spill over into their media habits. With an emphasis on what autistic children bring to media as opposed to what they supposedly lack socially, Alper argues that their relationships do not exist outside of how communication technologies affect sociality, nor beyond the boundaries of stigmatization and society writ large. Finally, she offers practical suggestions for the education, healthcare, and technology sectors to promote equity, inclusion, access, and justice for autistic kids at home, at school, and in their communities.
Critical Data Literacies
Authors: Pangrazio Luci , Selwyn Neil
Published: June 2023

A guide to everything you need to understand to navigate a world increasingly governed by data.

Data has become a defining issue of current times. Our everyday lives are shaped by the data that is produced about us (and by us) through digital technologies. In this book, Critical Data Literacies, Luci Pangrazio and Neil Selwyn introduce readers to the central concepts, ideas, and arguments required to make sense of life in the data age. The authors challenge the idea that datafication is an inevitable and inescapable condition. Drawing on emerging areas of scholarship such as data justice, data feminism, and other critical data studies approaches, they explore how individuals and communities can empower themselves to engage with data critically and creatively.

Over the course of eight wide-ranging chapters, the book introduces readers to the main components of critical data literacies—from the fundamentals of identifying and understanding data to the complexities of engaging with more combative data tactics. Critical Data Literacies explores how the tradition of critical literacies can offer a powerful foundation to address the big concerns of the data age, such as issues of data justice and privacy, algorithmic bias, dataveillance, and disinformation. Bringing together cutting-edge thinking and discussion from across education, sociology, psychology, and media and communication studies, Critical Data Literacies develops a powerful argument for collectively rethinking the role that data plays in our everyday lives and re-establishing agency, free will, and the democratic public sphere.
A computer architecture based on disruptive information technologies for drug management in hospitals
Authors: Chalmeta Ricardo , Navarro-Ruiz Andres , Soriano-Irigaray Leticia
Published: June 2023

The drug management currently carried out in hospitals is inadequate due to several factors, such as processes carried out manually, the lack of visibility of the hospital supply chain, the lack of standardized identification of medicines, inefficient stock management, an inability to follow the traceability of medicines, and poor data exploitation. Disruptive information technologies could be used to develop and implement a drug management system in hospitals that is innovative in all its phases and allows these problems to be overcome. However, there are no examples in the literature that show how these technologies can be used and combined for efficient drug management in hospitals. To help solve this research gap in the literature, this article proposes a computer architecture for the whole drug management process in hospitals that uses and combines different disruptive computer technologies such as blockchain, radio frequency identification (RFID), quick response code (QR), Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence and big data, for data capture, data storage and data exploitation throughout the whole drug management process, from the moment the drug enters the hospital until it is dispensed and eliminated.

Este trabajo concibe a la crítica arquitectónica como parte de las prácticas para generar conocimiento sobre las obras y se propone mostrar cómo tiene el poder de fijar algunas estructuras analíticas y conceptuales que determinan la interpretación canónica, la que se reproduce por recurrencia más allá de las posibilidades que la investigación arquitectónica propone. Se lo hace a través de un caso de estudio constituido por el edificio de las Naciones Unidas en Santiago de Chile, con un recorrido interpretativo basado en la influencia marcando su apreciación cultural e incluso algunas de las intervenciones en la obra, mostrando así los límites y las posibilidades del poder y del deber de la crítica.
Conjunto escolar School by the Sound en Copenhaguen, 1936. Contribución de la decoración y la iluminación a una educación integral.
Authors: Uribe Francisca
Published: June 2023

En medio de la epidemia de tuberculosis iniciada a finales del siglo XIX en Europa, el Municipio de Copenhague solicitó al arquitecto danés Kaj Gottlob el diseño de un nuevo modelo escolar que priorizase la salud, la iluminación y las áreas verdes. Gottlob proyectó School by the Sound, un conjunto escolar compuesto por la Escuela por el Sonido y la Escuela al Aire libre. Este ensayo examina los sucesos en torno al edificio escolar del siglo XX para luego comprender su formalización e introducir a School by the Sound como un modelo escolar ejemplar de la arquitectura moderna europea de entreguerras.

La descripción del caso de estudio introduce al lector en los elementos formales que componen cada escuela para diferenciar ambos programas educativos. El enfoque se torna hacia el rol sanador del edificio escolar que caracteriza al conjunto, identificando la decoración y la iluminación como elementos clave para una educación integral. Se hace referencia a teóricos de la educación para luego concluir que el vínculo entre decoración e iluminación fue capaz de crear un entorno escolar que hizo del edificio un potencial educador.
Neonatal Dengue- A Case Series
Authors: Alen Priya Margaret , Renumaheswari M , Ravanagomagan MG , Kumar Ramitha Enakshi
Published: June 2023

Dengue is one of the commonest arboviral infections seen in children but in neonates, it is a disregarded entity. It can be acquired either through vertical (transplacental) or horizontal transmission (mosquito bite). It usually presents with fever, lethargy, poor feeding, and thrombocytopenia which can be accompanied by hepatosplenomegaly, transaminitis, fluid leak, petechiae, bleeding, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), shock and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Dengue shock in neonates responds well to dopamine if used early. A retrospective review of case records of five neonates admitted with dengue fever from October 2021 to October 2022 showed the neonates average age was 10 days and male:female ratio of 3:2. Three cases had horizontal and two cases had vertical transmission. All neonates presented with fever and were admitted within one week of illness. Petechial rashes and refusal of feeds were observed in two cases. Four cases had leukopenia whereas, all cases had thrombocytopenia. Sepsis was ruled out. Dengue Nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) antigen was positive in four cases. IgM antibody was positive in all while IgG was negative in all cases. None of the cases had hepatic derangement except for mild transaminitis in three cases. Only two cases had severe thrombocytopenia requiring platelet transfusion, but none developed bleeding, plasma leakage, shock requiring inotropes or fluid overload. Mortality due to neonatal dengue was nil and the duration of hospital stay ranged between 6-12 days. In the vertically transmitted cases, isolation of the virus from the breast milk or cord blood was not done due to logistics. Therefore, dengue fever can be suspected as one of the differentials in any neonate presenting with fever, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia mimicking sepsis, especially during the epidemic season.

Authors: Vasudevan Jayasudha Arundhathi , Nair Rekha A , Jacob Priya Mary , Simi CM , Prakash NP , Mathew Aleyamma
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) positive Large B-Cell Lymphoma (ALK+ LBCL) is a very rare aggressive B-cell lymphoma presenting significant diagnostic challenges due to their rarity and unique immunophenotypic features. ALK is a tyrosine kinase receptor and is expressed by ALK+ LBCL due to ALK rearrangement. Aim: To analyse the histopathological features including morphology and immunophenotype, clinical details, pattern of care, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival of cases diagnosed as ALK+ LBCL. Materials and Methods: This clinicopathological retrospective descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Pathology at a Tertiary Care Cancer Centre, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. The duration of the study was six months, from January 2022 to June 2022. All the cases of ALK+ LBCL were diagnosed over a period of 10 years, from January 1st 2010 to December 31st 2020. The cases of LBCL diagnosed during the 10 year period were reviewed. Clinical details were obtained from the case sheets of the cases diagnosed as ALK+ LBCL and summarised. Data collection variables included age, sex, stage, nodal and extranodal status, bone marrow, Central Nervous System (CNS) involvement, haemoglobin, Total Leukocyte Count (TLC) and platelet count, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) value, performance status, date of diagnosis, date of treatment started, date of progression, date of last follow-up, date of death (if dead). Review of Haematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) sections and immunohistochemical slides were done and observations were recorded. Descriptive statistics was used to summarise the basic features of the dataset and Kaplan-Meier method was used for calculation of survival. Results: The age of study participants was ranged from 16- 56 years. During the 10 year period, LBCL accounted for 2415 cases. Among these, ALK+ LBCL constituted 6 (0.25%) cases. There was a male predilection (n=5). Blood counts were normal except for anaemia in three patients. LDH was raised in all the patients. Advanced stage disease was present in two patients. Histopathologically, tumour cells in all the cases showed plasmablastic morphology. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed plasma cell immunophenotype and positivity for ALK in all the cases. Cytokeratin (CK) and Epithelial Membrane Antigen (EMA) were positive in three cases simulating carcinomas. Six year overall survival and progression free survival in the present study was 50% and 33.3%, respectively. Conclusion: Careful interpretation of the morphology and immunophenotype is essential for diagnosis of ALK+ LBCL, as it can be easily misdiagnosed as a non haematological malignancy thus, affecting the treatment and prognosis in these patients.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: Bulk Fill (BF) resins and Ormocers are recently introduced composite restorative materials in order to overcome the disadvantage of polymerisation shrinkage exhibited by most of the conventional resin-based composites. Aim: To evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of Organically Modified Ceramics (Ormocers) in comparison with BF composite resin restorative material. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro study, 20 human extracted premolars were allocated into two groups of 10 each. ORM (Group-1 Admira fusion, n=10) and BF (Group-2 Filtek BF, n=10) composite materials were used to prepare and restore Class-V cavities. The teeth were subjected to thermocycling and immersed in 1% methylene blue dye solution. Along the lateral walls of each sectioned specimen, depth of dye penetration was measured under the stereo microscope. A total of 20 rectangular (25x2x2 mm) and 20 disc (10x2 mm) shaped specimens of the above-mentioned materials were fabricated. Specimens of Flexural Strength (FS) were tested with the universal testing machine and Vickers hardness tester used for Surface Hardness (SH) evaluation. The data was statistically analysed using an unpaired t-test. Results: Total of 20 extracted premolars were analysed. On inter-group comparison, it was observed that mean dye penetration was lowest for Group-1 (0.6±0.69) compared to Group-2 (2±0.81) and the difference observed was statistically significant (p=0.001). BF exhibited a lower FS of 211.69±43.9 compared to Ormocer 326.19±90.3, the difference is statistically significant (p=0.001). However, BF exhibited a higher SH of 38.3±0.15 compared to Ormocer 33.70±0.86, and the difference is statistically significant (p-value<0.001). Conclusion: Ormocer exhibited improved marginal integrity and also higher FS compared to BF resin restorative materials. However, BF exhibited higher SH values compared to Ormocer.

Published: June 2023

Представлены результаты комплексной экспедиции 2022 г. по изучению прибрежных ландшафтов Нижнего Дона. Методом эколого-географического профилирования заложены 4 ключевых участка с полнопрофильными почвенными разрезами, в которых изучены морфологические и физико-химические свойства аллювиальных почв. Почвенный покров ключевых участков представлен аллювиальными почвами с разной мощностью слоев речного аллювия и текстурной дифференциацией по гранулометрическому составу. Верхние горизонты имеют дернину, профиль прокрашен гумусом, в средней части горизонты тяжелосуглинистого гранулометрического состава с признаками слитости и засоления, в нижележащих отмечены ржаво-охристые пятна железа и сизые пятна глея. Почвообразующие породы – аллювиальные отложения различного гранулометрического состава. Физико-химические показатели почв характеризуют формирование аллювиальных почв разной степени засоления, гранулометрического состава, плотности и др. Верхние слои часто не засолены и слабо уплотнены, в то время как нижележащие слабо- и среднезасоленные, имеют тяжелосуглинистый и глинистый гранулометрический состав. По показателям рН верхние горизонты имеют нейтральную среду, а нижележащие слабо- и среднещелочную, что обусловлено развитием в них процессов засоления. При проведении экспедиционных и камеральных работ установлено, что в настоящее время в аллювиальных почвах Нижнего Дона происходит перераспределение, а также изменение структуры песчаного аллювия по почвенному профилю, так, в структуре почвенного покрова луговые и лугово-аллювиальные почвы крупных водотоков преобразовываются в маломощные аллювиальные слоистые почвы, сформированные на пойменных и старичных песках в результате заиления и перераспределения стоков твердых наносов.

A field study was taken up to evaluate the influence of organic sources of nutrients and inorganic fertility levels in aerobic rice during kharif 2017 and kharif 2018 at Indian Institute of Rice Research, Rajendra Nagar, Hyderabad, Telangana. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The treatment comprised of M1: Neem leaf manure 6 t ha-1; M2: Vermicompost 2 t ha-1; M3: Goat manure 5 t ha-1; M4: Microbial consortia [seed treatment 4g kg-1 + soil application 4 kg ha-1]. The sub-plot treatments comprised of S1: Control; S2: 50 % RDF; S3: 75 % RDF; S4: 100 % RDF [Recommended Dose of Fertilizer 120:60:40 kg ha-1]. It was observed that, nutrient uptake by aerobic rice was significantly influenced with application of organic nutrient sources and inorganic nutrient levels. N, P and K uptakes by rice were higher with vermicompost @ 2 t ha-1 or goat manure @ 5 t ha-1 among organic sources and 100% RDF among nutrient levels. Vermicompost  recorded significantly highest nitrogen (55.76, 71.7, 91.6 and 103.5 kg ha-1 respectively), phosphorus (9.04, 15.4, 18.0 and 20.5 kg ha-1) and potassium (39.7, 60.0, 76.3, 107.1 kg ha-1) uptake by rice crop at MT, PI, 50% FL and harvest and it was found at par with goat manure ( viz; nitrogen : 50.79, 66.1, 85.6 and 97.7 kg ha-1 ; phosphorus : 8.33, 14.11, 16.4 and 19.2 kg ha-1  and potassium : 38.2, 59.5, 75.2 and 84.0 kg ha-1 at MT, PI, 50% FL and harvest ) while the lowest nutrient uptake (viz; nitrogen: 37.86, 46.1, 60.9 and 77.3 kg ha-1, phosphorus: 5.74, 8.59, 11.4 and 12.6 kg ha-1 and potassium: 25.8, 41.3, 48.6 and 71.5 kg ha-1) was found with application neem leaf manure. Application of 100% RDF significantly increased N (63.58, 80.0, 99.1 and 123.1 kg ha-1), P (9.90, 17.1, 19.9 and 24.3 kg ha-1) and K (47.3, 70.8, 88.9 and 119.5 kg ha-1) and the lowest N (26.37, 32.5, 45.6 and 47.0 kg ha-1), P (4.11, 6.12, 7.7 & 7.8 kg ha-1) and K (19.3, 28.3, 34.7 and 56.7 kg ha-1) was recorded with control. Conjunctive use of 75% of RDF along with vermicompost (M2S3) or goat manure (M3S3) resulted in statistically on par nitrogen and phosphorus uptake with that of 100% RDF and the lowest nitrogen and phosphorus uptake were recorded with combination of either neem leaf manure or microbial consortia and no application of fertilizer (M1S1 and M4S1, respectively).

The scope for enhancement of productivity under irrigated conditions is limited due to over-exploitation of available resources However, there is ample opportunity for boosting yield in drylands by adopting suitable crops and cropping systems. The agricultural sustainability in drylands is comparatively hard to achieve due to different constraints like poor soil fertility, lack of irrigation facilities and moisture stress, small holdings and less investment in agriculture. In drylands, intercropping offers numerous opportunities to increase yield. Intercropping is the simultaneous planting of two or more crops in the same field. Intercropping is essential for improving the effectiveness of land use, weed control, ecological services, and economic viability. Improved yields and yield stability, better use of water and nutrients, increased weed control, increased pest and disease resistance, less soil erosion, and better feed quality are all advantages of intercropping. For maximising productivity in drylands, choosing ecologically sound crops like cereals and millets and implementing intercropping systems are two acceptable solutions. Ancient nutri-cereals known as millets have a significant impact on the nation's food and nutritional security and can provide agricultural sustainability in drylands when grown in intercropping systems. Most farmers who practise subsistence farming to secure their livelihoods choose the intercropping of wheat and legumes.

Integrated Farming System (IFS) is a sub-system of a high-level land use system like a village or a watershed which includes crop production, raising livestock, fishery, poultry, and beekeeping on a particular farm with an objective of higher profitability without altering ecological and socio-economic balance on one hand and to meet the national goals on the other hand. The present study was planned to study problems faced by rural women in the adoption of recommended technologies. The study was conducted in Gudli village of Udaipur district of Rajasthan. The AICRP on Home Science has promoted two IFS models viz. crop+horticulture and crop+poultry in the adopted village of MPUAT, Udaipur. From the selected village, 50 respondents for the crop+horticulture model and 60 respondents for crop+poultry model were selected for the study. For accomplishing the present investigation, interviews (Structured) were conducted to collect information from the rural women beneficiaries. After data collection, data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean percent score and paired t-test. The major constraints faced by the respondents in the adoption of technologies were lack of technical guidance, lack of facilities, lack of finance, lack of improved technologies and more workload. There is need of training, good government support, easy availability of credits and improved tools and machinery for smooth running of these IFS models.

Aims: Due to controversial results in relation to the influence of desensitizing agents on sensitivity during bleaching, the present study evaluated the degree of tooth bleaching sensitivity, color change, and patient acceptability of desensitizing agents containing potassium nitrate/sodium fluoride (PNF) or ozonized sunflower oil associated with in-office bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP).

Place and Duration of Study: The study described above was conducted at the Dentistry Clinics of a local university in Brazil. The duration of the study spanned from January to November 2021.

Sample: The researchers recruited a total of 30 volunteer patients who met the eligibility criteria and agreed to participate in the study.

Methodology: A clinical trial was conducted with a split-mouth design. The sample consisted of 30 volunteers randomized into 2 experimental groups according to the desensitization protocol. Potassium nitrate and sodium fluoride was applied to the hemiarch corresponding to the control group for 10 minutes, while in the hemiarch of the test group, ozonized sunflower oil was applied for 2 minutes with a rubber cup in low rotation, followed by a potassium nitrate and sodium fluoride application for 10 minutes. In sequence, both arcades were bleached with 35% hydrogen peroxide for 50 minutes.

Results: Previous application of ozonated sunflower oil resulted in a significant reduction in sensitivity in the first 24 hours after removal of the bleaching gel, as well as the test group showed lower tooth sensitivity in times measured up to 1 hours after removal of the bleaching gel. Both experimental groups presented satisfactorily lighter shades, but no statistically significant differences were observed regardless of the desensitization protocol employed.
