Introduction:

The purpose of this study was to compare minimum 2-year patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) after revision hip arthroscopy between two different patient cohorts who had undergone primary hip arthroscopy with the same surgeon (SS) and a different surgeon (DS). We hypothesized no difference in clinical outcomes between the groups despite differences in intraoperative findings based on the surgical decision making in a revision setting at a high-volume center.

Methods:

Between January 2012 and August 2017, 71 SS patients were matched for age, sex, body mass index, and follow-up to 71 DS patients. Modified Harris hip score (mHHS), nonarthritic hip score, and hip outcome score—sports-specific subscale (HOS-SSS) were collected prospectively. The minimal clinically important difference was calculated for mHHS and HOS-SSS.

Results:

All the DS patients had labral tears, and 94.4% had femoroacetabular impingement from residual bony deformity (P < 0.001). The SS and DS groups demonstrated significant and comparable improvement in mHHS (Δ = 18.3 ± 21.5 versus 19 ± 20.1; P = 0.837), nonarthritic hip score (Δ = 18.8 ± 18.8 versus 18.2 ± 18.8; P = 0.850), and HOS-SSS (Δ = 22 ± 27.4 versus 17.5 ± 28.1; P = 0.275). The rates of achieving minimal clinically important difference for mHHS and HOS-SSS were similar. Furthermore, the need for revision surgery and conversion to total hip arthroplasty were comparable (P = 0.228 and P = 0.383).

Conclusions:

Patients undergoing revision hip arthroscopy reported notable and comparable improvement in multiple patient-reported outcomes at a minimum 2-year follow-up, irrespective of intraoperative findings or primary source of patient pool.

Authors: Dulin Vladimir , Chikishev Leonid , Markovich Dmitriy , Hanjalic Kemal
Published: December 2021

Effect of combustion of propane-air mixture in a weakly and strongly swirling jet was studied. The rate of swirl was classified in terms of the absence / presence of a stable recirculation zone in the non-reacting jet flow. Sequences of the instantaneous velocity fields were measured in lean and rich flames at atmospheric pressure, and also in the non-reacting flow, by using a high-repetition stereoscopic particle image velocimetry system. Spatial distributions of the time-averaged velocity and Reynolds stresses, calculated from the sequences, revealed that combustion of rich mixture dramatically affected structure of flow and type of vortex breakdown

Published: December 2021

Global dimming has many environmental and climatic implications. India has also experienced a steady and continuous radiation dimming since 1960s due to increasing load of dust and aerosol in the atmosphere. Radiation interception, temperature, humidity and wind profile are altered under reduced light condition which are determining factor for crop phenology, leaf area index, biomass production, grain yield and radiation use efficiency of crops.In this experiment, three wheat cultivars (HD 2967, WR 544 and PBW 502) were grown under five solar radiation treatments i.e. R1 (no shading), R2 (20% shading), R3 (35% shading), R4 (50% shading) and R5 (75% shading) during rabi season of 2014-15 and 2015-16 at research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (ICAR-IARI), New Delhi to study the effect of radiation dimming on performance of selected wheat cultivars.In both the years the canopy temperature of wheat from crop vegetative stage to maturity was decreased with increase of shading level. The effect of reduced solar radiation significantly decreased the biomass production and yield.The radiation use efficiency (RUE) for biomass was increased due to shading treatments whereas the RUE for yield decreased with radiation reduction.The RUE for yield was the highest for no shading treatment (0.85 and 0.75 g MJ-1 in 2014-15 and 2015-16, respectively). Among the cultivars, the radiation use efficiency for biomass as well as yield was the highest in HD 2967 followed by WR 544 and PBW 502,respectively.
The manifestations of secularism in the Arabic literature of the Jahiliyyah period: A study prioritizing the views of Gus Bin Zaydah
Authors: PM Hamthoon
Published: December 2021

Jahillayath means ignorance. The Arabic word Jahiliyyah refers to the zealous culture and civilized society in the Islamic case. It is against Islam. The Jahiliyya community is a brutal society with human characteristics cut off. Gus bin Zaydah was a literary figure who lived in the so-called Jahiliyya social period. It can be observed that Islamic thought is often exaggerated in his poetry and prose literature. Much of his literature, prose and poetry, speaks of the triviality of worldly life and the permanence of the afterlife. Death is expressed in many of his speeches and poems. This is in stark contrast to pagan literature. Therefore, this study seeks to introduce Jahiliyyah and express the uniqueness of Arabic literature and to reveal the secular expressions of thought in the literary aspects of the Jahiliyya period writer Gus bin Zaydah. For this purpose descriptive and analytical methods were used and studied.
Vladimir Nabokov – purysta językowy
Authors: Grygiel Monika
Published: December 2021

Vladimir Nabokov rosyjsko-amerykański pisarz piszący w dwóch językach: rosyjskim i angielskim należy do najwybitniejszych prozaików XX wieku. Bilingwizm Nabokova stanowi o sukcesie pisarza, niniejszy artykuł próbuje odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy jest on źródłem puryzmu językowego autora Lolity? Wychowany w anglofilskiej rodzinie, płynnie posługujący się dwoma językami Nabokov musiał dążyć do perfekcji językowej, która była zarówno wyrazem jego talentu, jak i wytężonej pracy z językiem, doświadczenia translatorskiego. Doskonalenie języka literackiego, mistrzostwo stylu wyrażonego w aluzjach, kryptocytatach, powtórzeniach spowodowało, że Nabokov uznawany jest za wirtuoza, mistrza słowa i autorytet literacki, pozwalający na krytyczny i radykalny stosunek do tekstów literackich, a zwłaszcza tłumaczonych na języki obce. Puryzm językowy Nabokova wynika zatem z jego maniery artystycznej oraz konsekwencji twórczej, wysokie wymagania pisarz stawiał sobie samemu, kategorycznie oceniał innych twórców i tłumaczy. W opinii Nabokova talent literacki zobowiązuje do puryzmu językowego, a prawdziwe arcydzieła charakteryzują się doskonałym artystycznie językiem, który zachwyca czytelników.
Ethics: A Guide for Science
Authors: Lesoma Antonius Alex ,   The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (Poland)
Published: December 2021

Ethics is crucial for science. This article aims to outline the relationship between ethics and science. Science as a profession cannot be separated from ethics. Scientists require not only rigorous methods and procedures in their work but also ethics to guide them. They are demanded as experts in their fields and as good persons. Ordinary people (non-scientific society) trust reliable scientists who have good competence, skill and personality. Hence, integration of science and ethics bring up epistemic trust, on the one hand among scientists and on the other hand among scientists and non-scientific society. There are various kinds of ethics that can be a guide for the scientific work of scientists. However, in this article I offer Karol Wojtyła's personalist ethics based on the philosophy of being as a guide for science.
Populism and fascism in Europe: case of Romania
Authors: Kiyanka Iryna , Nadiya Levytska ,   Lviv Regional Institute of Public Administration of the National Academy of Public Administration under the President of Ukraine (Ukraine)
Published: December 2021

The article focuses on the essence of populism and fascism in the context of the political regime in Romania. It analyses the real threat of fascism in the interwar period in Romania as well as a negative impact on the socio-economic sphere in the Romanian society. The article also points to the fact that the fascist party in Romania was short-lived. The dictatorship of Ion Antonesku and his followers, in fact, implemented some points of their program (eg, anti-Semitic activities), adopting mate nationalistic and conservative ideology, but it did not accept the fascist "revolutionary" ideas and totalitarian structures. Populism is a good option for election campaigns. After all, people always like a simple and understandable way without undue burden. Human logic and speculation aid such a way. Nevertheless, populism is a nourishment for authoritarian leaders.

Från ett årtionde i Finland. August Schauman, republikanism och liberalism 1855-1865
Authors: Grandell Jens
Published: December 2021

När 1850-talet inleddes hade Finland varit en del av Ryssland i blott 40 år. Det relativt korta tidsspannet till trots hade mycket hunnit hända. Konturerna av en stat hade börjat framträda och det politiska språkbruket utvecklades i takt med internationella trender. I förgrunden låg de finländska tidningarna och publicisterna som allt intensivare skrev fram en inhemsk offentlighet. En av de aktivaste inom detta område var August Schauman (1826–1896) som med sina olika tidningar bidrog till den mentala moderniseringen av Finland.

 

Det starka liberala genomslaget på 1860-talet och i synnerhet på de första lantdagarna i Finland har hamnat I skuggan av det stora nationella narrative om finskans frammarsch till en dominerande ställning i landets politiska och offenrliga liv. I så långt högre grad gäller det här de första uttrycken för liberalism som kan märkas redan under 1840-talet. Att det dessutom fanns republikanska tankegångar invävda med de liberala är det inte vanligt att lägga märke till. August Schauman hade tagit starka intryck av såväl liberalt som republikanskt tankegods, och han var även aktivt verksam för att befrämja dessa ideal, så långt det lät sig göra i en av censur hårt kringskuren offentlighet.

 

Det har varit bekvämt att se liberalerna/konstitutionalisterna som foregångare till 1800-talets svenska parti, såsom en vilsen gruppering som bekände färg först när fìnska partiet fått fart och inflytande. Det här tillbakavisar Jens Grandell med besked genom att borra djupare i seklets mitt med August Schauman som prisma. Om Schauman kanske väl ofta tilldelats en förlorares ställning – ett J. V. Snellmans hinder och en nedgjord motståndare – så framstår August Schauman definitivt som en större och mångsidigare gestalt för den som fått ta del av Grandells bok.

Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif adapaun teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan yaitu Observasi, Wawancara dan Dokumentasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian Kompetensi Aparatur Desa dalam Penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan Desa di Desa Henda Kecamatan Jabiren Raya Kabupaten Pulang Pisau.

Kesimpulanpe nelitian sebagai berikut: Aparatur Desa adalah Pemerintah Desa dan Badan Permusyawaratan Desa yang dapat dikatakan sebagai ujung tombak sebagai pelaksana penyelenggaraan Penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan Desa, Kompetensi dari Aparatur Desa di Desa Henda sudah cukup baik karena dalam penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan Desa Aparatur Desa Henda selalu berpegang dan memperhatikan asas-asas penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan Desa. Aparatur Desa Henda juga dalam menyelenggarakan Pemerintahan Desa dilaksanakan atas dasar musyawarah desa dimana musyawarah desa adalah hasil keputusan tertinggi yang ada didesa sesuai dengan amanat Undang-Undang. Dalam melakukan penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan Desa Aparatur Desa sudah profesional dikarenakan apabila Aparatur Desa mendapatkan suatu ransangan atau masalah dari luar tidak pernah berimbas pada pekerjaan yang lainnya.

Dalam pelaksanaan penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan Desa di Desa Henda terjadinya Kurangnya kordinasi dari Aparatur Desa (Pemerintah Desa dan Badan Permusyawaratan Desa) mengakibatkan pengembangan Kompetensi lemahnya kepada satu pihak dan akan menguat pengembangan Kompetensi kepada satu pihak. Motivasi Kerja dari Aparatur Desa terutama Badan Permusyarawatan Desa (BPD) yang sebagai mitra kerja dari Pemerintah Desa menurun dikarenakan belum terpenuhinya kebutuhan operasional karena sebenarnya mengikuti seiring dengan apa yang direncanakan. Apabila berbicara masalah motivasi berarti akan bersamaan membahas Kompetensi karena variabel yang sangat berpengaruh bagi Kompetensi ialah motivasi.

The legal system for horse protection in ancient China
Authors: Gao Lihong , Su Da
Published: December 2021

The concept of "animal welfare" originated relatively recently and refers to fulfilling the basic needs of animals to avoid unnecessary suffering. However, in ancient China, ecological awareness similar to current “animal welfare” had already been awoken and codified in the form of a series of legal systems, among which were specific regulations for horses that entailed giving them a good life, as well as a series of “animal welfare” regulations more in line with the current sense, such as not hitting them in the face, nor using genetically related horses for breeding. This paper analyses the current legal framework of animal protection to trace the legal system on horse protection throughout the history of China.
Derecho animal en Cataluña. Las pautas de Francia
Authors: Giménez-Candela Marita
Published: December 2021

En tres puntos sumarios (según la tradición cartesiana tan querida en Francia), se exponen algunos aspectos en que Cataluña se ha posicionado como una sociedad en la que la protección animal es prioritaria, tal como reflejan las iniciativas jurídicas y el impulso positivo que la sociedad catalana ha manifestado a lo largo de los últimos años. Cataluña, en el conjunto del estado español, ha demostrado siempre un espíritu pionero en situar a los animales en el lugar que jurídica, política y socialmente les corresponde como seres sentientes y que está reconocido por la legislación de bienestar animal de la Unión Europea.  En este sentido, la afinidad entre Francia y Cataluña, con un mismo espíritu de respeto por los animales, debe ser puesta de relieve y servir de punto de partida para una mas estrecha colaboración.

Kriza etički neutralne znanosti
Authors: Babić Mile
Published: December 2021

Današnja kriza morala u znanstveno-tehničkoj civilizaciji vodi nas u zajedničku propast, jer je suvremena znanost (koja je slobodna od morala) nerazdvojivo povezana s tehnikom, pa se može nazivati tehnoznanost. Kao takva ona ima danas monopol na znanje o svijetu te zbog toga posjeduje najveću moć u dosadašnjoj povijesti i u tijesnoj je sprezi s nosiocima moći: s ekonomijom, politikom, medicinom, medijima, državama i međunarodnim kompanijama. Imati najveću zamislivu moć (koja, po Kantu, kvari slobodu umnoga rasuđivanja), a pritom biti slobodan od morala koji ograničuje tu moć, znači pretvoriti svijet u svijet najmodernijeg barbarstva i nasilja, uništenja i samouništenja. Samo moralno odgovorna znanost sposobna je za budućnost i ona je pretpostavka civilizacije sposobne za budućnost. Samo odgovorna znanost može spriječiti pretvaranje znanosti u sveobuhvatnu dogmu. Stoga znanost mora biti slobodna od svake ideologije koja prikazuje stvarnost crno-bijelom tehnikom te tako proizvodi taštinu, mržnju i nasilje. Globalna znanost zahtijeva globalni etos (globalnu odgovornost). Znanosti je stalo do istine koja nas oslobađa od laži i povezuje nas u jednu zajednicu. Temeljni etički imperativ primum non nocere (‘najprije ne škoditi životu’) vrijedi svuda i zauvijek. Etički odgovorna znanost zahtijeva promjenu svijesti pojedinca i ponovno otkrivanje ideje bratstva. Nijedno ljudsko djelovanje postojeću stvarnost ne smije razarati i uništavati, nego je mora usavršavati.

Difficulties in Advancement of Science and Shaping the System of Science and University as a Carrier of Technological Development in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Milošević Dejan , Fetić Benjamin
Published: December 2021

The primary function of the university, in addition to education, is scientific research. At Bosnia and Herzegovina universities, the scientific research has been neglected. There are two basic reasons for that. The first is insufficient financial investment in science and research, and the second is an underdeveloped awareness of the importance of scientific research work, both in the society of Bosnia and Herzegovina and in universities themselves. This paper indicates what needs to be done to overcome this latter difficulty. In addition, the possibilities for improving science and shaping the science system at universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina to make them research universities were analysed. Scientific research work builds on research and development work, technological development, cooperation with the economy and the development of science and technology parks. These activities are even less represented at universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina than scientific research work. This paper shows the ways how to overcome these difficulties, so that research universities become carriers of the technological development of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Published: December 2021

The article aims to analyse livestock production factors and search for reserves to increase efficiency in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The main tasks of Ukraine in the framework of achieving the SDGs and the role of livestock in this process are identified. The world experience of sustainable livestock development has proved its contribution to overcoming world hunger. The main trends in livestock production development in agricultural enterprises of Ukraine are identified. The influence of livestock intensification on the economic and social efficiency of livestock production is determined. Ways to increase the efficiency of livestock production through innovation are substantiated. The system of factors of production efficiency is expanded, taking into account its social aspects; in particular, it is shown that the development of livestock has a significant impact on the internal social efficiency of enterprises, affecting labour demand and wages. The strengthening of specialization and concentration in livestock in Ukraine is following the same global trends. The influence of livestock intensification on the formation of the ratio "costs - production results" is proved, which made it possible to identify the possibility of increasing profitability while rising production costs per head of livestock. Increasing the production intensity can lead to increased technological, economic, and social efficiency.

Authors: Admin Erem , Kaunelienė Violeta
Published: December 2021

We live indoors. In the developed countries, people spent80-90% of time in buildings. Therefore, among the environmentalfactors, indoor air quality (IAQ) is a significant,if not the most significant, factor affecting human health.Scientific evidence has indicated that indoor air can bemore seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even thelargest and most industrialized cities. Indoor air pollutioncauses long- and short-term health problems and, dependingon the severity, can even make staying indoorsvery uncomfortable. Management of IAQ is a complicatedtask due to complexity of pollution sources and alimited number of measures applicable such as reducingcontaminants at the source, improving ventilation, and,when relevant, purifying the indoor air

Published: December 2021

The most important microbe in humans is Staphylococcus aureus, which has caused worldwide dispersion in both nosocomial and community settings. The impact of Gram-positive Staphylococcus Aureuson the host is extremely detrimental to illness development. The life form is noteworthy for its ability to receive anti-toxin protection from a variety of anti-toxin classes. The development and distribution of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) strains, which are generally multi-drug resistant in clinics and, as a result, in the population, cause severe mortality and bleakness. The research of MRSA illness transmission has advanced since its underlying event, which necessitates a complete clinical approach to dealing with take on this microorganism. For long term use drug of choice is vancomycine nevertheless its efficacy has been put to the test by rise in opposition. More modern anti-MRSA anti-infection medicines have been approved for clinical usage in the last 10 years or so. The aim of this chapter is to offer related data on the genus Staphylococcus and the evolution of antibiotic resistance in addition a discussion of the most important antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Although they are notorious for causing anti-infection blockage, there is a constant need for exploring innovative MRSA antagonists from various sources, including plants, and assessing non-anti-toxin draws close.

Published: December 2021

Generally, the term biomass is used for all materials originating from photosynthesis. However, biomass can equally apply to animals. Conservation and management of biomass is very important. There are various ways and methods for biomass evaluation. One of these methods is remote sensing. Remote sensing provides information about biomass, but also about biodiversity and environmental factors estimation over a wide area. The great potential of remote sensing has received considerable attention over the last few decades in many different areas in biological sciences including nutrient status assessment, weed abundance, deforestation, glacial features in Arctic and Antarctic regions, depth sounding of coastal and ocean depths, and density mapping.

Suitable models that auditors can adopt to concurrently audit smart Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) and log analyzers in Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs) that are also founded on sound empirical claims are scarce. Recently, post-intrusion studies on the resilience of the above mechanisms and prevalence of intrusions in the above domains have shown that certain intrusions that can reduce the performance of smart IDSs can equally overwhelm log analyzers such that both mechanisms can gradually dwindle and suddenly stop working. Studies have also shown that several components of Cyber Physical Systems have unusual vulnerabilities. These key issues often increase cyber threats on data security and privacy of resources that many users can receive over Internet of a Thing (IoT). Dreadful intrusions on physical and computational components of Cyber Physical Systems can cause systemic reduction in global economy, quality of digital services and continue usage of smart toolkits that should support risk assessments and identification of strategies of intruders. Unfortunately, pragmatic studies on how to reduce the above problems are grossly inadequate. This chapter uses alerts from Snort and C++ programming language to practically explore the above issues and further proposes a feasible model for operators and researchers to lessen the above problems. Evaluation with real and synthetic datasets demonstrates that the capabilities and resilience of smart Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) to safeguard Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs) can be improved given a framework to facilitate audit of smart IDSs and log analyzers in Cyberspaces and knowledge of the variability in the lengths and components of alerts warned by Smart Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs).

During SARS-CoV-1 and Middle East Respiratory Distress Syndrome (MERS) outbreaks it was observed a particularly elevated incidence of cardiovascular disease among patients. With COVID-19, this correlation becomes evident again. However, the cardiovascular impacts by COVID-19 pandemic are not yet well established although publications about its potential deleterious effects are constant. Thus, aimed to carry a systematic review of the literature with meta-analysis, the following question was used as a guide: what practical contributions does the scientific literature produced in the period of 2019-2020 has to offer about the impact of the COVID-19 on cardiovascular system? A systematic review of the literature using the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and PubMed with the following descriptors: #1 “cardiovascular disease” [MeSH] AND #2 “COVID-19” [keyword], as well as their equivalents in the Portuguese and Spanish language, during the period from December 2019 to March 2020 was performed. One hundred articles were found in Pubmed and twenty-seven were selected. In VHL there are 59 articles and four were selected totaling thirty-one papers. The findings were then divided into three subcategories: Etiology, Physiopathology and Risk factors of SARS-CoV-2 in Cardiovascular System; Clinical presentation, laboratory markers and imagenological aspects of SARS-CoV-2 in cardiovascular system; and Anti-Hypertensive Drugs, Cardiovascular System and SARS-CoV-2. When it comes to the cardiovascular system, these issues are aggravated and urge as a joint commitment from researchers, medical and governmental organizations to carry out more robust studies with bold methodologies aimed at mapping prognostic factors and assertive therapeutic approaches in the management of cardiovascular complications of COVID- 19.

Published: December 2021

High mortality rate for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been reported worldwide in nursing home residents, and the global concern about the safety of patients and professionals in these institutions is relevant. A large part of post-acute and chronic patient care in Brazil is performed at home through Home Care (HC) services. The objectives of this chapter are to describe the main measures that can be implemented in patient homes in order to keep professionals, patients, and family members safe and to analyze the safety of choosing the home as the place of care during a pandemic, especially in contrast to the results observed in long-term care facilities. COVID-19 infection data among home care patients, obtained after a year of severe epidemic in Brazil, demonstrate that home care is safe and is associated with a low incidence and low lethality related to the new coronavirus.

Myths are widely dispersed but false ideologies or misconceptions. With the thousands of deaths recorded daily and the negative toll of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on public health, national economy, and human interaction, it remains surprising how people are still being swayed by conspiracy theories. Due to the novelty of the disease, the quest for an answer, what works, and what does not work gave room for the propagation of misinformation, especially on social media. Identifying and debunking myths is very important in managing disease outbreak, since myths can negatively influence the response of people to preventive and containment strategies. Major proponents of COVID-19 myths have promoted their falsehood on the guise that it is a biological weapon engineered to control the world population. Others have also falsely claimed the use of antibiotics or other antiviral drugs in the treatment of COVID-19 and that COVID-19 is no worse than the common flu or it is just the disease of the elderly. This has promoted refusal to take up the COVID-19 vaccine and increased non-adherence to the preventive guidelines. Myths have been a major stumbling block to curtailing the menace of COVID-19. All hands must be on deck to fight this.
Myths Surrounding Covid-19 Vaccine Candidates: A Guide to Fight Back
Authors: Zizzo John
Published: December 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has propelled public health officials into the socio-political sphere due to the need for constantly updated information on behalf of the public. However, many individuals choose to acquire health information/guidance from indirect sources, including social media, news organizations, and general word of mouth. As a result, myths and false narratives about various essential health topics, including vaccine characteristics and protective measures, can circulate un-verified between millions of individuals with little recourse. These can further widen the “gap” between public knowledge and current research, resulting in lower vaccine uptake (vaccine hesitancy) and protective measure adherence. Such actions have profound implications as nations attempt to achieve herd immunity and end the pandemic once and for all. Thus, it is vital that public health officials, health providers, researchers, and the general public be able to differentiate common Covid-19 myths from facts and be prepared to approach such interactions via sound reasoning and research-based evidence. This chapter will serve as a guide to accomplish just that.

Maize occupies an important position in the world economy, and serves as an important source of food and feed. Together with rice and wheat, it provides at least 30 percent of the food calories to more than 4.5 billion people in 94 developing countries. Maize production is constrained by a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses that keep afflicting maize production and productivity causing serious yield losses which bring yield levels below the potential levels. New innovations and trends in the areas of genomics, bioinformatics, and phenomics are enabling breeders with innovative tools, resources and technologies to breed superior resilient cultivars having the ability to resist the vagaries of climate and insect pest attacks. Maize has high nutritional value but is deficient in two amino acids viz. Lysine and Tryptophan. The various micronutrients present in maize are not sufficient to meet the nutritive demands of consumers, however the development of maize hybrids and composites with modifying nutritive value have proven to be good to meet the demands of consumers. Quality protein maize (QPM) developed by breeders have higher concentrations of lysine and tryptophan as compared to normal maize. Genetic level improvement has resulted in significant genetic gain, leading to increase in maize yield mainly on farmer’s fields. Molecular tools when collaborated with conventional and traditional methodologies help in accelerating these improvement programs and are expected to enhance genetic gains and impact on marginal farmer’s field. Genomic tools enable genetic dissections of complex QTL traits and promote an understanding of the physiological basis of key agronomic and stress adaptive and resistance traits. Marker-aided selection and genome-wide selection schemes are being implemented to accelerate genetic gain relating to yield, resilience, and nutritional quality. Efforts are being done worldwide by plant breeders to develop hybrids and composites of maize with high nutritive value to feed the people in future.

Published: December 2021

Novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) out-broke in the city of Wuhan in China and widely spread across the globe in a pandemic manner, causing societal and economic disruptions. Though the origin of the novel virus is still a debating topic, it is certain that SARS-CoV-2 acquired human to human transmission capacity. Regardless of aggressive containment and quarantine approaches, the number of confirmed cases continues to rise and being reported due to its highly infectious nature. As of the time, there is a little scope for the antiviral drugs or vaccines for the treatment of coronavirus infection; due to the vigorous mutation rate in the viral genome. However, existing anti-parasite drugs like ivermectin and chloroquine could effectively inhibit the virus has been reported. Few of the vaccines have come up with certain degree of efficacy and many are under the clinical trial phase. The research on novel coronavirus is still in the preliminary stage. In this chapter, we systematically summarize the origin, transmission route, molecular characterization, pathogenic mechanism, contagious nature, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, mutation and infection as well as prevention strategy of coronavirus disease based on the recently available literature. In addition to this, this chapter presents updated insights of the current state of knowledge pertaining to novel coronavirus and can be referred for potential future studies.

To evaluate the index cases leading to the transmission of healthcare workers (HCWs) in Rize/Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan University Faculty of Medicine Education and Research Hospital with COVID-19 infection and the clinical features of infected HCWs. The first two COVID-19 test positive patients treated at Rize/Turkey between 10.03.2020 and 12.04.2020 and HCWs those who examined these two patients whose COVID-19 PCR test results were positive were included in this study. In Rize/Turkey, the first and second cases of positive COVID-19 which was recorded on 13.03.2020 on 25.03.2020, 27 HCWs (female, 63%, n = 17 and male, 37%, n = 10 and the mean age was 33.2 ± 6.9 years) who contacted during the treatment of these cases and became COVID-19 positive were examined. The median of symptom duration (days) of the HCWs was 5 days (range: 0–17 days). Fever, 55.6% (n = 15); malaise, 44.4% (n = 12); cough, 40.7% (n = 11); sore throat, 33.3% (n = 9); myalgia, 33.3% (n = 9); dyspnea, 14.8% (n = 4); diarrhea, 22.2% (n = 6); vomiting, 14.8% (n = 4); anosmia, 18.5% (n = 5); ageusia, 22.2% (n = 6) and headache, 37% (n = 10) of the cases. The rates of headache in female HCWs infected with COVID-19 were found to be significantly higher compared to men (52.9%). None of them had severe clinical situation requiring intensive care follow-up or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Laboratory measurements of HCWs were carried out at the first when they had symptoms and when they recovered, and results were compared accordingly. The thorax computerized tomography (CT) findings of HCWs were normal in 74.1% (n = 20) of total. HCWs were initially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Early measures provided by the Health authorities, access to diagnosis and treatment, and the young age average in HCWs prevented severe outcomes such as severe clinical course and mortality at the beginning of the outbreak.
