Published: April 2022

The climate clearly determines the characteristics of agriculture in terms of favourable conditions for the development of plants and animals. Climate change has a major impact on agriculture, and we need at least its analysis for past decades for effective adaptation. The annual scale of meteorological variables is quite rough, much more information is obtained from the monthly scale, for example when using bioclimatic indices and diagrams. Using Griffiths-Taylor diagrams, where each point shows the average monthly value of temperature and relative humidity or precipitation, we showed the change of 30-year averages (1961 to 2020) for six climate stations. Climate change can be seen from the shape of the diagram, an increase in average monthly air temperatures, a decrease in average relative humidity and changed precipitation patterns are visible. With the plot of favourable conditions for a certain plant / animal species, the diagram acquires ecological value. We have shown changes in the conditions for the development of the fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824)) and the growth of sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batata L.). For the fruit fly, conditions improved due to higher temperatures, especially in colder locations. In Murska Sobota, which has the only suitable conditions for the growth of sweet potatoes, the period with favourable conditions is extended, in the last two periods in July and August, ideal conditions also appear. In further research, we recommend an analysis of weather-extreme years, which provides additional information on the variability of the conditions.
The effects of temporary occupation of agricultural land by gravel deposits and construction on selected soil properties
Authors: ZUPAN Marko , ZUPANC Vesna , GRČMAN Helena
Published: April 2022

We addressed the condition of restored soil on alluvial plain in the south-eastern Slovenia after they have been given for the gravel deposit easement during construction. According to pre-investigation using soil probes, two soil profile pits were dug: Profile 1 on the area where excavated soils were deposited over original soils; and Profile 2 on the area where topsoil had been removed before gravel deposition and reapplied after the easement. Undisturbed and disturbed soil samples were collected and analyzed for physical and chemical properties. The results show that chemical properties were generally not the limiting factor for soil fertility. Compaction of the soil reduced hydraulic conductivity and resulted in water stagnation. The bulk density on the area where the material was deposited directly on the soil surface ranged from 1.41 to 1.77 g cm-3. The hydraulic conductivity of the saturated soil was practically impermeable at depths of 10, 20, and 30 cm, indicating compaction due to high mechanical load. At the area where topsoil was removed before deposition and restored after easement the hydraulic conductivity of the saturated soil was low to moderate. Removal of the topsoil before construction began was an appropriate action, but reclamation measures are also required.

Medical technology has made significant advances in the 21st century and, at present, medicine  makes use of information technology, telecommunications, and state-of-the-art engineering to provide the best possible healthcare services. Electronic sensors provide health practitioners with the ability to constantly monitor their patients’ health, to streamlines a number of medical processes, and to increase patients' access to health services. Mobile phones also empower patients and play a major role in their health's monitoring. The use of cybernetics technology can now help patients overcome even serious disabilities, enabling many disabled patients to live their lives similarly to their non-disabled fellow men through the use of artificial organs and implants. All these advances have paved the way for a more personalized type of healthcare that provides individualized solutions to each patient. Once a number of hurdles are overcome, medical technology will bring forth a new era of more precise and enabling medicine.

Viral infections are linked to the progression of inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress that play pivotal roles in systemic diseases. To confirm this phenomenon, in the present study, TNF‐α level and oxidative stress markers were examined in the liver, kidney, and pancreas of HTLV1‐infected male BALB/c mice. To this end, twenty BALB/c mice were divided into HTLV1‐infected mice that were inoculated with 1‐million HTLV1‐infected cells (MT‐2), and the control groups. Two months after inoculation, the peripheral blood, mesenteric lymph nodes, liver, kidney, and pancreas were collected after deep anesthetization of mice (ketamine, 30 mg/kg). The extracted DNA of mesenteric lymph nodes was obtained to quantify proviral load (PVL) using quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR). The levels of lipid peroxidation, total thiol (SH), nitric oxide (NO), TNF‐α, catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were examined in the liver, kidney, and pancreases. Furthermore, histopathological changes in the liver and kidney were evaluated. In liver tissue, the levels of MDA, TNF‐α, and blood cell infiltration were significantly increased, and the levels of CAT and SOD were significantly decreased. In the kidney, a reduction in SOD, CAT, and total SH and an increase in MDA and NO were observed. In the pancreas, CAT activity, total SH, and SOD were decreased, and the levels of MDA and NO were enhanced. In terms of TNF‐α production, it has been shown that the level of this inflammatory cytokine was increased in the liver, kidney, and pancreas. The HTLV1 may have a role in inducing inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress pathways in the tissues.

Methods for estimating lithium-ion battery state of charge for use in electric vehicles: a review
Authors: Gaga Ahmed , Tannouche Adil , Mehdaoui Youness , El Hadadi Benachir
Published: April 2022

In recent decades, electric vehicles (EVs) have been garnering tremendous popularity because of their improved performance and efficiency, as well as new concerns about global warming, greenhouse gas emissions, and the depletion of fossil fuels. Extensive use of electric vehicles has already been seen in the automotive industry, especially because of the CO2 emissions and global environmental challenges they help with. A lot of attention has been paid to lithium-ion batteries for their numerous benefits, including lightweight, fast charging, high energy density, extended lifespan, and low self-discharge. This study covers the state of charge (SOC) estimation and management of the lithium-ion battery for sustainable future electric vehicle applications. The importance of adopting a lithium-ion battery management system (BMS) is shown, which guarantees a stable and safe operation and assesses the battery state of charge (SOC). According to the review, the SOC is an important parameter as it denotes the battery’s remaining charge and influences charging and discharging tactics. Additionally, it is shown that existing lithium-ion battery SOC has a positive effect on ensuring the safe and efficient operation of electric vehicles with their charging and discharging capacities. Despite these hurdles, batteries still have certain limitations, such as complex electro-chemical reactions, decreased performance, and inaccuracies in enhancing battery performance and life. This paper thoroughly reviews the approaches used to estimate or capture (SOC) parameters by focusing on the calculation model or algorithm, advantages, disadvantages, and estimation error. It describes a number of aspects and obstacles that have been identified and suggestions for their use in the development of BMS and for estimating SOC in future EV applications are offered. The rising attempts to improve the high-tech future EV applications, SOC calculation method, and energy management system will be enhanced by this review’s highlight insights.

Published: April 2022

Structural lineaments of Southeast Nigeria were delineated using high-resolution aeromagnetic data. Advanced methods such as enhanced horizontal gradient amplitude (EHGA) involving a 3D model and tilt depth method (TDM) were used in this study. The simulated magnetic model involving the EHGA detector positioned peaks over source borders and created sharp and clear edges for magnetic sources. The TDM is a cutting-edge depth determination method revealing the depth of the contacts and thickness of sedimentary bodies that vary from ∼500 to ∼2,500 m and ∼3,000 to ∼5,000 m, respectively. Lineaments of the study area were extracted from the EHGA map. The structural map showed the dominance of short-ranged (∼0.29 to ∼1.48 km) linear magnetic anomalies. In addition, regional geologic structures (∼2.8 to ∼24.5 km) occur at the western flank of the study area. In general, these structures trend in the NE–SW, NNE–SSW, N–S, E–W, and NW–SE directions. They are indicators of subsurface faults, contacts, and tectonic structures of the thermo-tectonic events associated with Santonian Abakaliki Anticlinorium, Tertiary-Recent Ikom-Mamfe Rift, and structural deformations of the basement rocks associated with the Oban Massif.
Towards practical privacy-preserving protocols
Authors: Demmler Daniel
Published: April 2022

Protecting users’ privacy in digital systems becomes more complex and challenging over time, as the amount of stored and exchanged data grows steadily and systems become increasingly involved and connected. Two techniques that try to approach this issue are the privacy-preserving protocols secure multi-party computation (MPC) and private information retrieval (PIR), which aim to enable practical computation while simultaneously keeping sensitive data private. In the dissertation [Daniel Demmler. “Towards Practical Privacy-Preserving Protocols”. Diss. Darmstadt: Technische Universität, 2018. url: http://tuprints.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de/8605/], summarized in this article, we present results showing how real-world applications can be executed in a privacy-preserving way. This is not only desired by users of such applications, but since 2018 also based on a strong legal foundation with the GDPR in the European Union, that enforces privacy protection of user data by design.
Gate tunable light–matter interaction in natural biaxial hyperbolic van der Waals heterostructures
Authors: Bapat Aneesh , Dixit Saurabh , Gupta Yashika , Low Tony , Kumar Anshuman
Published: April 2022

The recent discovery of natural biaxial hyperbolicity in van der Waals crystals, such as α-MoO3, has opened up new avenues for mid-IR nanophotonics due to their deep subwavelength phonon polaritons. However, a significant challenge is the lack of active tunability of these hyperbolic phonon polaritons. In this work, we investigate heterostructures of graphene and α-MoO3 for actively tunable hybrid plasmon phonon polariton modes via electrostatic gating in the mid-infrared spectral region. We observe a unique propagation direction dependent hybridization of graphene plasmon polaritons with hyperbolic phonon polaritons for experimentally feasible values of graphene chemical potential. We further report an application to tunable valley quantum interference in this system with a broad operational bandwidth due to the formation of these hybrid modes. This work presents a lithography-free alternative for actively tunable, anisotropic spontaneous emission enhancement using a sub-wavelength thick naturally biaxial hyperbolic material.

Published: April 2022

Objectives

Various studies have shown that good quality of life (QoL) can be achieved after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). There is prognostic value of baseline QoL in post-operative outcome in Western setting. Our prospective study aims to validate these observations and elucidate clinical factors that predict poorer QoL in Asian peritoneal carcinomatosis patients.

Methods

European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire was administered to patients before CRS and HIPEC and thereafter at 3, 6 and 12 months.

Results

A total of 151 patients underwent 155 surgeries. Four hundred and seventy two questionnaires were completed. Median disease-free survival (DFS) was 16.5 months. Three year DFS and overall survival (OS) were 24.0% and 73.0% respectively. Post-operative global health status significantly increased at 3, 6 and 12 months. The decreases in functional scales recovered to baseline by 1-year post-surgery. Peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI), presence of stoma, peritonectomy duration, death within one year, post-operative complication and length of SICU stay negatively influenced QoL. Complication rates were higher in patients with lower global health status, physical and role functioning scores and higher symptom summary scores at baseline. Lower social functioning score, and higher pain, dyspnoea and symptom summary scores at baseline were significantly associated with poorer OS.

Conclusions

Various clinical factors can help us predict a patient’s QoL after surgery. Several baseline factors were also able to predict morbidity and survival. Going forward, we can use these factors to help us better select patients who will have a greater benefit from CRS and HIPEC.

Mllt11 Regulates Migration and Neurite Outgrowth of Cortical Projection Neurons during Development
Authors: Stanton-Turcotte Danielle , Hsu Karolynn , Moore Samantha A. , Yamada Makiko , Fawcett James P. , Iulianella Angelo
Published: April 2022

The formation of connections within the mammalian neocortex is highly regulated by both extracellular guidance mechanisms and intrinsic gene expression programs. There are two types of cortical projection neurons (CPNs): those that project locally and interhemispherically and those that project to subcerebral structures such as the thalamus, hindbrain, and spinal cord. The regulation of cortical projection morphologies is not yet fully understood at the molecular level. Here, we report a role for Mllt11 (Myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia; translocated to chromosome 11/All1 Fused Gene From Chromosome 1q) in the migration and neurite outgrowth of callosal projection neurons during mouse brain formation. We show thatMllt11expression is exclusive to developing neurons and is enriched in the developing cortical plate (CP) during the formation of the superficial cortical layers. In cultured primary cortical neurons, Mllt11 is detected in varicosities and growth cones as well as the soma. Using conditional loss-of-function and gain-of-function analysis we show that Mllt11 is required for neuritogenesis and proper migration of upper layer CPNs. Loss ofMllt11in the superficial cortex of male and female neonates leads to a severe reduction in fibers crossing the corpus callosum (CC), a progressive loss in the maintenance of upper layer projection neuron gene expression, and reduced complexity of dendritic arborization. Proteomic analysis revealed that Mllt11 associates with stabilized microtubules, andMllt11loss affected microtubule staining in callosal axons. Taken together, our findings support a role for Mllt11 in promoting the formation of mature upper-layer neuron morphologies and connectivity in the cerebral cortex.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe regulation of cortical projection neuron (CPN) morphologies is an area of active investigation since the time of Cajal. Yet the molecular mechanisms of how the complex dendritic and axonal morphologies of projection neurons are formed remains incompletely understood. Although conditional mutagenesis analysis in the mouse, coupled with overexpression assays in the developing fetal brain, we show that a novel protein called Mllt11 is sufficient and necessary to regulate the dendritic and axonal characteristics of callosal projection neurons in the developing mammalian neocortex. Furthermore, we show that Mllt11 interacts with microtubules, likely accounting for its role in neuritogenesis.

Published: April 2022

Background: Iron is essential for a child's growth. In the Gabonese general pediatric population, iron deficiency is the most widespread nutrient deficiency. Quid of the sickle cell children in Libreville, Gabon? Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including sickle cell children aged from 6 months to 15 years, with haemoglobin SS confirmed. Subjects included were examined in steady-state. Data collected were about the socioeconomic background of the families, medical history of the children. To determine iron status, we used: CRP, Ferritin, serum iron, Transferrin, total blood count cell and erythrocytic parameters. Results: We included 247 children; 128 boys (51.8%) and 119 girls (48.2%). The median age of the children was 8 years [1 year - 15 years]. Following definition criteria we found: 9% (95% CI [18.6% - 29.2%]) of iron deficiency, 67.6% (95% CI [62.2% - 73.8%]) of normal iron status, and 8.1% (95% CI [4.7% - 11.5%]) of iron overload. Iron deficiency was associated with a child’s rank >2, OR=2.1 (95%IC [1.2-6], p<0.001). Iron overload was associated with age >11 years OR=2.5 (95%IC [1.7-9], p<0.001); mothers’ low educational level OR=3.6 (945% IC [1.4-9], p=0.03); transfusion OR=10,5 (95%IC [1,9 – 53], p =.0.025); a last transfusion between 4 and 6 months OR=9.1 (95%IC [3.1-21], p<0.001). Conclusion: The majority of sickle cell children in our context has a normal iron status. Iron deficiency and iron overload should be monitor and treated according to associated factors, and greater studies are required to determine algorithms to assess and treat and iron imbalance.

Reassessing the Value of CSF Protein and Glucose Measurement in Pediatric Infectious Meningitis
Authors: McLaughlin Wesley N. , Lamb Molly , Gaensbauer James
Published: April 2022

OBJECTIVES

Infectious meningitis (IM) in US children is increasingly rare and new rapid multiplex PCR-based testing is increasingly available. We evaluated the added value of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein and glucose tests to predict IM when compared with information provided by CSF white blood cell count (WBC) and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

METHODS

We retrospectively reviewed CSF results from October 2015 to August 2017 in patients 0 to 18 years at a US children’s hospital. Noninfectious evaluations were excluded. Test characteristics were calculated for CSF WBC, protein, and glucose in isolation and in parallel for prediction of microbiologically confirmed IM. Chart review was performed to identify consideration of protein and glucose in medical decision-making (MDM).

RESULTS

We identified 735 patients including 446 <2 months; 45 (6.1%) had microbiologically-confirmed IM, including 23 (5.2%) age <2 months. Multiplex PCR and/or CSF WBC identified all IM patients. When added to CSF WBC, measurement of glucose made no contribution to sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) or negative predictive value (NPV), and protein had no impact on sensitivity and decreased the specificity, PPV, and NPV compared with CSF WBC alone. Abnormal protein was documented in MDM in 6 (0.8%) patients, all of whom had elevated WBC counts also cited. Glucose was not mentioned in MDM.

CONCLUSIONS

Multiplex PCR testing and WBC may be sufficient to predict meningitis in children in low incidence settings. Protein and glucose did not contribute significant additional information. More intentional use of protein and glucose testing in patients with suspected IM may achieve higher value care.
