Authors: Goryńska-Goldmann Elżbieta
Published: December 2022

In order to fill the knowledge gap on the reduction of losses and waste of bread and other bakery and confectionery products (BBCP) in the selected retail level, studies have been conducted to estimate the scale of waste of this type of food at retailers, cause of occurrence of such losses have been determined, along with methods of limiting and preventing this phenomenon. Data about the scale of losses have been collected by monitoring diary from the sample of small shops (N = 5), bakeries with own shops (N = 5). Additionally data from a retail network (N = 29 shops) taken from the cash register system. The qualitative data came from 9 individual in-depth reviews with trade experts. The analysis of the data shows that the total volume of losses in BBCP trade in small shops was around 2 kg/week (excluding goods returned for reprocessing). Based on the value BBCP’s losses in the retail network accounted for 42% of the total losses. Moreover, they reach 20% of the bakery & confectionery department turnover. The BBCP returns from trade to reprocessing were recorded at 8-10% of the average daily order value. The 3 main categories of causes behind this phenomenon have been identified: related to the organisation of the bakery section at the retailer, the manner of displaying products and human errors. The ways of preventing losses and waste in the examined product category have also been named. The obtained results can be used for developing programs and strategies to limit trade losses in bakery & confectionery sections. The examined product category should be understood to be the main goal of indexation programs and other steps aiming to limit food waste.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ORCHARD FARM WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON LOGISTIC ELEMENTS
Authors: Klepacka Anna M. , Traczyk Radosław
Published: December 2022

The aim of the study is to assess the possibility of improving internal transport and storage of pome fruit (including apples) in an orchard farm located in Wilkonice. The research material was collected on the basis of an interview questionnaire with the owner of an orchard farm in May 2022. Secondary data came from the Central Statistical Office and a literature review. Fruit growing is one of the important areas in the Polish agricultural sector. In terms of sales volume, Poland is a leading producer of apples, both in Europe and in the world. In 2014, as a result of the embargo imposed by Russia, Poland lost the possibility of exporting fresh vegetables and fruits to it. Among other things, this situation caused problems with their sale and distribution. Therefore, in order to increase the profitability of Polish fruit farms, it was necessary to reduce the outlays incurred for fruit production and to find new distribution channels, ensuring constant access to markets. Based on the conducted interview questionnaire, it should be concluded that modern techniques used in internal transport logistics allow minimizing the number of trips from the orchard to the place of storage of pome fruit. Thus, they contribute to reducing the cost of producing 1 kg of these fruits and minimize the time spent on this process. In addition, new refrigeration technologies are the most effective way to extend the shelf life of pome fruit, which may result in the long-term sale of crops at higher prices and the acquisition of permanent contractors, guaranteeing continuous receipt of goods.

Published: December 2022

The paper discusses the surface characterisation of electroless nickel-yttria-stabilised zirconia (Ni-YSZ) coating with varying YSZ particle sizes and undergoes heat treatment at a temperature between 300-400°C for 1-2 hours for wear resistance purposes. This finding will be helpful to the application of Ni-YSZ as an alternative coating for cutting tools.

The surface characterisation was analysed using JOEL Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) JSM 7800F. The crystallographic structure of materials was analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) Bruker D8 Advance instrument. The Ni-YSZ coating was deposited using electroless nickel co-deposition of 8YSZ ceramic particles with a nano, mixed and microparticle sizes onto a high-speed steel (HSS) substrate. The coatings were heat treated at temperature 300-400°C and time 1-2 hours. The surface roughness was measured using Mitutoyo surface roughness tester SJ-301.

The electroless Ni-YSZ coating deposited has an average thickness of 30 µm. It is found that the coating morphology electroless coating without YSZ particle incorporation (EN) and Ni-YSZ nano (N) is smoother compared to the Ni-YSZ mixed (NM) and Ni-YSZ micro (M). The EDS composition analysis shows the YSZ content in the electroless Ni-YSZ coating for N samples is the lowest, whereas NM samples are the highest. This resulted in the surface roughness behaviour where the mixed-size YSZ particle gives the highest roughness at all temperatures. The XRD analysis shows that heating temperatures above 300°C caused the precipitation of Ni3P crystalline.

Previous studies in the surface characterisation of electroless nickel composite are scarce; thus, the study has limitations in finding supporting data.

The surface characterisation especially related to the surface roughness of the electroless nickel, either the Ni-P or composites or alloys are rarely reported. Thus, this study enlightened the effect of particle size on surface roughness and morphology of heat-treated coatings.

Published: December 2022

Johneâ€™s disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is a widespread problem in ruminants worldwide. Diagnosis of the disease during the early stages of infection is difficult. In search of newer proteins with antigenic and immunogenic characters, in silico epitope analysis of the immunogenic proteins was performed which identifies the proteins expressed during the early stages of infection and which could stimulate cell mediated immune response. T cell epitopes were predicted for the six immunogenic proteins and the epitopes were sorted based on the percentile ranking and repetition among MHC Class I alleles. 3D modeling and protein-protein interaction studies revealed that ELPLPQTYVD, DVVGYDRTQD, PDLQSVLGATPGAG, DGLRAQDD, DGLRAQDD and PGHVTDD epitopes interact with the MHC Class I molecule through hydrogen bonding. These epitopes are identified as potent candidates for the immunodiagnostic studies and could be further evaluated using in vitro studies.

In piggery, birth weight and body weight remains most vital economic trait as they directly influence on the production performance of the farm. Implementing the genomic selection would pay way for rapid genetic gain along with increased accuracy than conventional breeding. Prior to genomic selection, genome wide association study (GWAS) has to be conducted in order to find informative SNPs associated with the traits of interest in a given population. Under this study 96 crossbred pigs were genotyped using double digest genotype by sequencing (GBS) technique using Hiseq platform. Raw FASTQ data were processed using dDOCENT Pipeline on Reference based method and variants were called using Free Bayes (version 1.1.0-3). Using Plink (v1.09b), variants having MAF>0.01, HWE<0.001 and genotyping rate >80% were filtered out and 20,467 SNPs were retained after quality control, for ascertaining GWAS in 96 pigs. Before conducting association studies, the data were adjusted for significant nongenetic factors affecting the traits of interest. GWAS was performed using Plink software (v1.9b) identified 9, 11, 12, 23, 28, 24, 30, 33 and 42 SNPs significantly (adjusted P<0.001) associated with birth weight, body weight at weekly interval from 1st week to 8th week, respectively. A large proportion of significant (adjusted P<0.001) SNPs were located on SSC10, SSC6, SSC13, SSC8 and SSC1. One genome wide significant SNP and four genome wide suggestive SNPs were identified. Two common SNPs affecting all body weight at different weeks were located on SSC5:40197442 and SSC13:140562 base pair position. This study helps to identify the genome wide scattered significant SNPs associated with traits of interest which could be used for genomic selection, but further validation studies of these loci in larger population are recommended.

Published: December 2022

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary supplementation of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MLM) on egg quality, composition and anti-stress activity of Vanaraja laying hens. One hundred twenty, Vanaraja laying hens of 24 weeks of age were randomly divided into four groups of 30 each with three replicates of 10 in each group. Four experimental diets were fed to birds in which T1 (control-antibiotic - oxytetracycline powder @ 50 g/ quintal) and in rest of the 3 treatment groups T2, T3 and T4, the birds were fed with MLM at levels of 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0%, respectively. The egg quality parameters studied at 36 weeks of age did not show any significant difference between the treatment groups except for the yolk index. The activities of serum enzymes like alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase were also not differed significantly, except for alkaline phosphatase. The heterophil / lymphocyte ratio showed significant difference (P<0.05) between the treatment groups of MLM, where in the highest mean value was showed by T4 (1% MLM). No significant influence of dietary MLM was noticed on the nutrient composition and amino acid profile of eggs. From the above findings, it is concluded that MLM up to 1% level in the diet of Vanaraja laying hens is beneficial in terms of egg quality, composition and anti-stress activity.

Published: December 2022

This study was taken up to assess the effect of supplementing Macrotyloma uniflorum (an herbal feed additive; HFA) on nutrient utilization, productive performance and meat quality of goat kids. Eight male Beetal goat kids (5 months old; body weight 14.05±0.41 kg) divided in to 2 equal groups were either fed a control total mixed ration (TMR) containing concentrate and green fodder in 50: 50 ratio on DM basis or control TMR supplemented with M. uniflorum @ 2.0% of DM intake for 90 days. Simultaneously, rumen studies were conducted on three rumen fistulated male bucks. Higher total-N, trichloroacetic acid precipitable nitrogen (TCA-N) and nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) concentration was observed in strained rumen contents (SRC) of animals fed M. uniflorum supplemented TMR as compared to control. Supplementation of TMR with M. uniflorum increased the production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and fermentation efficiency while efficiency of conversion of hexose to methane decreased in M. uniflorum supplemented TMR in comparison to control TMR. Nutrients digestibility, N-retention, urinary excretion of purine derivatives, blood profile and average daily gain were comparable in both the groups. The higher ready to cook (RTC) carcass percentage resulted in higher RTC carcass yield in M. uniflorum supplemented group. Overall, the weight of most of the primal cuts expressed as per cent of dressed weight improved in goat kids fed TMR supplemented with M. uniflorum as compared to those fed control diet. Hence, the higher weight of most of the primal cuts can be achieved in Beetal goat kids by supplementing the TMR with M. uniflorum (kulthi) at 2% of DM intake.

Public sector organizations or Government policies face common challenges in implementation of programme. Appropriate model for public service delivery should be chosen for the benefits of citizens. To control foot-andmouth disease, Government of India is running FMD-Control Programme throughout the country. To evaluate effectiveness of service delivery mechanism of FMD-CP in Uttar Pradesh, present study was undertaken. It involved development of a structured questionnaire for beneficiary as well as service provider. Livestock owners (n=222) and Veterinary Officers (n=26) from Mathura district participated in the survey. Data was processed and analyzed. The success of FMD-CP was compared to neighbouring states of Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab. The study concluded that majority livestock owners were aware about the disease and its control programme. Veterinary Officers were playing major role in dissemination of information. Vaccine was found to be safe and effective. FMD-CP was successful in states like Haryana and Punjab with good seroconversion in vaccinated animals and near zero occurrence of disease, but in UP seroconversion was poor and disease was reported regularly. Therefore, to improve FMD-CP in UP, it was concluded that design of the policy was optimum but there was a need for transformation in implementation practices of the policy. It included extensive information dissemination, release of adequate budget, timely intervention with sufficient staff for vaccination coverage, quality control of vaccine, issue of vaccination certificate and an independent audit system of implementation agency and screening agency.

Published: December 2022

Growing lambs were used to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of yellow grease (YG) on performance and carcass yield. Sixteen male hair lambs were assigned randomly to one of two diets with 0 or 30 g YG/kg DM and similar energy and protein content. Lambs underwent adaptation to diets for 12 d and fasting for 75 d. Dietary inclusion of YG did not affect growth performance or feed intake. Feed conversion, hot and cold carcass weight and yield improved by YG. The dietary addition of 30 g YG/kg DM allowed reducing the proportion of dietary grain without causing harmful effects on growth performance and feed intake but improving carcass dressing in finishing hair lambs. Given that its inclusion in grain-based diets improved carcass weights and yield. We can conclude that YG would be an efficient alternative energy source for hair lambs under tropical conditions. Nevertheless, further research is required to determine the effect of YG on meat and carcass quality.

Published: December 2022

Plant density tolerance (PDT) is one of the most important trait for breeders. The study was carried out at Sakha Research Station, Egypt in 2016. Half diallel crosses among 10 yellow maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines were made. The resulting 45 hybrids and commercial check SC162 were evaluated under 2 nitrogen fertilizer levels (N1= 286 and N2=357 kg N/ha) and 3 plant densities (D1=59351 plant/ha, D2=71846 plants/ha and D3=84341 plant/ha) in 2017 to identify the superior hybrids at high plant densities and estimate combining ability variance and effects at various plant densities for grain yield. The mean squares due to nitrogen fertilizer (N) was not significant, while the mean squares due to plant density (D), NÃ—D interaction, hybrids (H), H Ã— N, H Ã— D and H Ã— N Ã— D were highly significant. Also the mean squares due to general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) and their interactions with N, D, and NÃ—D were highly significant. SCA or non-additive gene action was the main influence in the inheritance and was more affected by N, D and NÃ—D interaction for grain yield. The best inbred lines for GCA effects, viz. P3, P8 and P10 can be used in maize breeding program to give high yield in various environmental conditions especially for plant density tolerance. The best hybrids for SCA effect under most environments especially high plant densities were P1 Ã— P3, P1 Ã— P8, P2 Ã— P6, P4 Ã— P5, P4 Ã— P8, P5 Ã— P7 and P8 Ã— P10. The hybrid P8 Ã— P10 had high significant positive superiority. These hybrids can be upgraded to other stages of evaluation in the maize breeding program, especially for plant density tolerance.

The present investigation was done with the objective of proper understanding of occurrence and distribution of root rot and subsequent loss assessment in ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi L. ). To have a comprehensive view of the disease severity, diseased fields were surveyed in 40 villages of different districts, viz. Udaipur, Rajsamand, Chittorgarh and Pratapgarh of southern Rajasthan in the year of 2015â€“16 and 2016â€“17. The study revealed that the per cent plant mortality ranged in between 12.80â€“32.50 and 15.00â€“35.50% at 45 days after sowing (DAS) in both the years, respectively. The maximum and minimum per cent plant mortality was recorded in Bhatewar (Udaipur) and Phoonkiya (Rajsamand) in both the years, respectively. The overall per cent plant mortality was observed more in the year 2016â€“17 as compared to 2015â€“16. Losses caused by the root rot disease were studied by incorporating various levels of inoculum densities of Rhizoctonia solani @ 50, 100 and 150 g/plot individually as well as in different combinations in soil before sowing of local susceptible cultivar. The results were compared with uninoculated protected plots and demonstrated that among the treatment, the maximum yield losses (70.90%) were recorded with inoculum @ 150 g/plot followed by inoculum @100 g/plot (47.27%) inoculated plot. The minimum yield losses of 40.85% were observed in plots inoculated @ 50 g/plot with R. solani. The disease was found to cause severe losses on a wide area under ajwain cultivation in southern Rajasthan.

Characterization of the Secondary Metabolites (SM) produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens (NAIMCC-B-00361) while growing in mixed culture conditions with fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum (NAIMCC-F-00811) was done to better mimic antagonism and interaction in a natural environment. Nutrient media, viz. Kingâ€™s B Broth (KBB), Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB), Pigment Production Medium (PPM), Czapek Dox broth Medium (CDB) and half minimal media (50% KBB and 50% PDB) were assessed and KBB was found to be the best medium for the production of these metabolites. Antifungal assay of crude metabolite extract was done using poison food technique and the results showed that the crude chloroform extract of metabolites (mixed culture of P. fluorescens and F. oxysporum) grown in KBB medium showed 50.47% inhibition of mycelial growth of F. oxysporum followed by the chloroform extract of solo culture of P. fluorescens which showed 45.38% inhibition of mycelial growth of Bipolaris oryzae. Antibacterial assay of crude metabolite extract was done using Agar well diffusion technique and the results revealed that the crude chloroform extract of mixed culture of P. fluorescens and F. oxysporum grown in KBB medium showed 25.67 mm zone of inhibition against Bacillus subtilis, whereas the extract of solo culture of P. fluorescens showed 18.67 mm zone of inhibition against Klebsella pneumoniae. The qualitative confirmation of antibiotic production by solo culture of P. fluorescens and mixed culture using TLC revealed the presence of antibiotics, i.e. 2, 4-DAPG, pyrrolnitrin and phenazine. HPLC analysis of crude chloroform extract of SM produced by solo culture of P. fluorescens and mixed culture showed the presence of 2,4-DAPG at retention time 20.707 and 20.698 respectively.

Published: December 2022

An experiment was conducted on Urochondra setulosa (grass halophyte) to explore its survival mechanism under stress conditions. For this, different treatments of salinity/sodicity (pH ~ 9.5, pH ~ 10, ECe ~ 30 dS/m, ECe ~ 40 dS/m and ECe ~ 50 dS/m) were created in micro-plots. Roots are the primary structure that first senses the negative effects of salt stress. So, roots were selected to study the tolerance mechanism. Salinity stress caused higher Na+ accumulation and less reduction in K+ content in comparison to sodic stress. Roots accumulated 4.57 folds higher proline at ECe ~ 50 dS/m, whereas under pH ~ 10.0, 3.11 fold higher accumulations than the control roots were observed. Higher reduction in protein content was observed under sodicity stress than salinity stress. In control roots, a total of 26 polypeptide bands were expressed ranging from 12.43 kDa to 81.3 kDa. Under high salinity stress, number of polypeptide bands increased to 31 at ECe ~ 50 dS/m that might be responsible for their survival and growth while sodic stress led to disappearance of more number of polypeptides with a total number of 23 polypeptides at pH ~ 10.0. Interestingly, it was also found that sodic stress had higher damaging affect on Urochondra metabolism in comparison to salinity stress which makes it salinity tolerant grass.

Published: December 2022

Leaf curl disease of chilli has become a big menace and destroys the crop every year during kharif season because of which the farmers have abandoned growing the crop in kharif which is the main season of cultivation. Resistance breeding is the only safe and economical solution for this problem. WBC-Sel-5 was identified as a resistant genotype to ChiLCV after 4 seasons of rigorous field evaluation. This resistant line was used to generate F1 and F2 generations with susceptible recipient parent (Phule Mukta). F2 population raised from a cross of susceptible parent Phule Mukta and resistant parent WBC-Sel-5 was screened against chilli leaf curl virus along with parents and F1 in both natural and challenged inoculation using viruliferous white flies carrying chilli leaf curl virus. All the F1 plants were susceptible to leaf curl disease and the F2 population showed susceptible and resistant individuals segregating in 3:1 ratio under both natural and artificial epiphytotic conditions indicating monogenic recessive genetic control of resistance to chilli leaf curl virus disease.

Published: December 2022

Studies of genetic variability and relationship among the 40 genotypes of European carrot (Daucus carota L. var sativa) for important horticultural traits revealed wide range of variability for the traits. Little or no differences between genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) for all traits confirmed low environmental influence. High PCV for root diameter, root weight, root yield and flesh thickness indicated additive gene action. High heritability with high to moderate genetic advance for flesh thickness, root length, root diameter suggested additive gene action and scope for improvement through selection. Higher genotypic correlation revealed inherent association among the traits. Strong character association of root weight, root length, and crown diameter with root yield suggested as selection criteria for higher yield. Adequate genetic variability within the germplasm indicated enormous scope for genetic improvement of yield and quality traits. Root weight had maximum direct effect on root yield (q/ha). It was concluded that selection based on root weight, root length, root diameter and crown diameter may improve yield.

In vitro multiplied plants of doubled haploid line of marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) derived through ovule culture, were subjected to evaluation of genetic uniformity using SSR markers in order to evaluate their genetic stability and/ or detect likely existing variations among in vitro derived plantlets. Leaf samples were taken from randomly selected 13 plants at post acclimatization stage, for checking the clonal fidelity of the in vitro derived regenerants by comparing them with the mother plant from which the leaf explants were taken. Out of 36 primers, 12 showed amplification in which clear and reproducible PCR profiles. Analysis of individual primers revealed that SSR primers produced same banding pattern which were shared by the in vitro leaf derived regenerants and the donor mother plant, which indicated that there was no variation observed within the tissue culture raised plants. All the banding profiles produced were monomorphic and were similar to those of the mother plant, and hence, showed that plants were true to type. Information presented in the study indicated that the in vitro regenerated plants were identical to the mother plant.

Published: December 2022

Onion (Allium cepa) seed crop is infected with several pest and diseases which reduce the seed yield and quality. The present study explores the feasibility of using polymer as an efficient delivery system for seed-protectant chemicals during onion seed production. Polymer coating prolonged the release of pesticides. After 30 DAP, 557% and 1087% higher retention of fungicide and insecticide was observed in polymer coated bulbs over traditional method of bulb treatment. Onion bulb coating with polymer and 0.15 % fipronil + 0.25 % (carbendazim + mancozeb) showed significantly higher values for seed yield attributes, viz. productive scapes/plant (5.56), lower percent lodged scapes (21.16), seed yield/ plant (21.15 g) and seed quality attributes in comparison to control and traditional method of bulb treatment. Lowest percent disease index (36.39) was recorded in treatment- polymer coating + 0.15 % fipronil + 0.25 % (carbendazim + mancozeb) and lowest number of thrips/plant (5.14) was recorded in bulbs coated with polymer + 0.15 % fipronil + 500 ppm streptocyclin. Treating of onion bulbs with polymer is beneficial in increasing the efficacy of the applied pesticides, reducing the incidence of pest and diseases and enhancing seed yield and quality.

The importance of organic manure as soil amendment is increasing day by day especially for the improvement of soil health. Flower waste has a high moisture content and easily degradable carbon content. A long duration leachate and odour problem arises during accumulation of flowers. The study aimed on changes in the physico-chemical parameters during the pit method composting of flowers using effective microbial consortium. Four different composting mixturemarigold flower waste + Dried Leaves (1:1), Marigold flower waste + Dried leaves (1:1) + Microbial consortium, Rajnigandha flower waste + Dried leaves(1:1) and Rajnigandha flower waste + Dried leaves (1:1) + Microbial Consortium were prepared. Results revealed that the temperature profile in all the treatments in cemented pits showed a rapid procedure from ambient temperature of 32ÂºC to 55ÂºC. The maximum temperature obtained was 55ÂºC within six days in the pits and pH varied from 4.5 to 5.5 and after 30 days it was found to be 7.0. The measurement of humus content was observed more in the treatments where fungal inoculants were applied as compared to un-inoculated treatments. The final product was rich in carbon, nitrogen content and was found non-phytotoxic.

Clone and Contradistinction—Mycosis Fungoides
Authors: Bajaj Anubha
Published: December 2022

Mycosis fungoides is a peripheral T cell lymphoma engendered from mature, post-thymic T lymphocytes representing with cutaneous patches, plaques, tumours and erythroderma. Mycosis fungoides demonstrates a ‘bathing trunk’ distribution wherein gluteal region, trunk and proximal limbs appear incriminated. Mycosis fungoides enunciates enhanced expression of Th2 gene along with Th2 associated cytokine production and activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB). Lesions depict a band-like infiltrate of atypical lymphoid cells within papillary dermis with focal fibroplasia and Pautrier’s micro-abscesses. Neoplastic cells display mature T cell phenotype and are immune reactive to CD45RO+, TCRβ+, CD2+, CD3+, CD4+, CD5+or CD7+. Photodynamic therapy, retinoids, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, radiation, chemotherapy or allogenic haematopoietic stem cell transplant may be adopted to treat mycosis fungoides.

Beyond its neuroprotective role, CSF functions to rid the brain of toxic waste products through glymphatic clearance. Disturbances in the circulation of CSF and glymphatic exchange are common among those experiencing HCP syndrome, which often results from SAH. Normally, the secretion of CSF follows a two-step process, including filtration of plasma followed by the introduction of ions, bicarbonate, and water. Arachnoid granulations are the main site of CSF absorption, although there are other influencing factors that affect this process. The pathway through which CSF is through to flow is from its site of secretion, at the choroid plexus, to its site of absorption. However, the CSF flow dynamics are influenced by the cardiovascular system and interactions between CSF and CNS anatomy. One, two, and three-dimensional models are currently methods researchers use to predict and describe CSF flow, both under normal and pathological conditions. They are, however, not without their limitations. “Rest-of-body” models, which consider whole-body compartments, may be more effective for understanding the disruption to CSF flow due to hemorrhages and hydrocephalus. Specifically, SAH is thought to prevent CSF flow into the basal cistern and paravascular spaces. It is also more subject to backflow, caused by the presence of coagulation cascade products. In regard to the fluid dynamics of CSF, scar tissue, red blood cells, and protein content resulting from SAH may contribute to increased viscosity, decreased vessel diameter, and increased vessel resistance. Outside of its direct influence on CSF flow, SAH may result in one or both forms of hydrocephalus, including noncommunicating (obstructive) and communicating (nonobstructive) HCP. Imaging modalities such as PC-MRI, Time-SLIP, and CFD model, a mathematical model relying on PC-MRI data, are commonly used to better understand CSF flow. While PC-MRI utilizes phase shift data to ultimately determine CSF speed and flow, Time-SLIP compares signals generated by CSF to background signals to characterizes complex fluid dynamics. Currently, there are gaps in sufficient CSF flow models and imaging modalities. A prospective area of study includes generation of models that consider “rest-of-body” compartments and elements like arterial pulse waves, respiratory waves, posture, and jugular venous posture. Going forward, imaging modalities should work to focus more on patients in nature in order to appropriately assess how CSF flow is disrupted in SAH and HCP.

Authors: Estrella Félix
Published: December 2022

Using oral presentations in foreign language classrooms is a widespread practice. This form of oral exercise entails generating speaking anxiety in students. This paper aimed to identify the anxiety levels experienced when learners do in-class presentations. A mixed-methods design was adopted. The Public Speaking Class Anxiety Scale (PSCAS) was utilized for the quantitative phase. Eight open-ended questions were used for the qualitative phase. One hundred thirty-two students of English registered at a public polytechnic university in Ecuador took part in the quantitative phase of the study. Twelve of them took part in the interviews. The data were analyzed using Factor Analysis which related three sources of anxiety “Communication apprehension,” “Apprehension to peer’s reactions,” and “Apprehension during the presentations.” The majority of participants were found to experience high levels of anxiety. Several implications stem from this study. Raising awareness of speaking anxiety among language department administrators and teachers is one.

Driving Green Consumption: Exploring Generation Z Consumers’ Action Issues on Sustainable Fashion in China
Authors: Liu Fanxi
Published: December 2022

Environmental pollution brought by the fashion industry are increasingly a cause for concern. The rise of Generation Z has significant implications for the sustainable fashion market in China. Previous studies found an attitude-behaviour gap among this population, they recognized the importance of sustainable fashion while not taking action. This study applied mix method in two phases to find out how Chinese Generation Z is influenced by environmental knowledge and corporate social responsibility (CSR) through social media, and other factors that influence attitude- behaviour gap in sustainable fashion consumption. With the online survey completed by 168 consumers and the semi-structured interview with six Gen Z consumers, there are four major finding of this study: 1) This study found that Generation Z consumers were more positive and aware of their attitudes and behaviour towards buying sustainable fashion than non-Generation Z consumers; 2) Generation Z consumers were more consistent in their attitudes and behaviour than non-Generation Z consumers; 3) Influenced by environmental knowledge factors and brands CSR through social media, Gen Z consumers are more likely to purchase sustainable fashion products than non-Generation Z consumers. 4) Other factors such as government promotion and school education helped to mitigate the attitude-behaviour gap among Gen Z. Therefore, this study provides applicable implications for fashion companies and government on the strategies to mitigate attitude-behaviour gap among Gen Z.
