Authors: Saleem U , Akhtar N , Saleem S , Kaukab S , Yaseen M , Asadullah H.M. , Hassan E.U.
Published: April 2024

Maize being the leading cereal grain crop is widely used throughout the world including Pakistan. About thirty-three percent of world's arable land experiences a deficiency of water and the greatest harvest yields are frequently decreased by dry spell. The current research was considered to examine the genetic traits governing the drought tolerance of morphological and physiological parameters during the seedling stage in maize. The breeding stock consisted of two parental lines, YP-12 and US-17 with variable traits concerning their ability to bear water shortage and their succeeding generations F1 and F2 along with back crosses (BC1 and BC2). The combined analysis of variance for all traits yielded significant differences among generations and water treatments suggesting the presence of a wide range of genetic variability. Relative water contents, leaf water potential, osmotic potential and turgor potential decreased under water stress environment. All morphological parameters like root and shoot length, fresh root and shoot weight and dry root and shoot weight exhibited a decrease in response to water stress. Dry shoot weight, turgor potential and osmotic potential under water stress have additive nature suggesting that early selection based on one of these traits may also complement the other resulting in the development of better-yielding maize material for stress tolerance. Further, root characters such as root length, fresh and dry weight can play a crucial role in efficiently evaluating the maize genotypes to drought stress during the seedling stage.

AMELIORATIVE POTENTIAL OF Moringa oleifera LEAF EXTRACT AGAINST ARSENIC TOXICITY IN Labeo rohita
Authors: Khalid F , Azmat H , Khan N , - Saima
Published: April 2024

Arsenic (As) is one of the most harmful pollutants in water bodies which accumulate in animals and bio magnify from lower trophic level to higher trophic level causing imbalance in physiological phenomenon, leading to retarded growth and mortality. Fish is an important resource of healthy protein and poly-unsaturated fatty acids for human diet, it must be free from contaminants and metal toxicants. However, the presence of various metalloids like arsenic in the aquatic environment significantly impart change in the fish meat quality making it unfit for human consumption and overall quantity of fish meat production is affected due to the presence of sufficient amount of arsenic in the water bodies. Therefore, its elimination becomes a global challenge. Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera), a medicinal plant containing several pharmacological properties, was evaluated for ameliorating adverse effects of sub-lethal concentration of arsenic (1/ 3rd of 96 h LC50 = 6.75 mgL-1) in Labeo rohita. For this purpose, acclimatized individuals of Labeo rohita were randomly allocated to six experimental glass aquaria in triplicates. The experimental fish were exposed to arsenic alone and in a combination with 2 and 4 % M. oleifera leaves extract for 28 days. Results of current study revealed that immune biomarkers such as total protein, albumin and globulin contents remarkably (p ≤ 0.05) lowered on arsenic exposure. Moreover, upon arsenic exposure red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) significantly (p ≤ 0.05) decreased, whereas white blood cells (WBC) mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and platelets significantly increased. Conversely, fish treated with 2% or 4% M. oleifera leaf extract showed significant improvement and normalized the immune and hematological alteration in Labeo rohita with respect to time and dose dependent manner. The results of present study thus concluded that arsenic induced immunological and hematological alterations were ameliorated by the M. oleifera leaves extract supplementation. Moreover, 2% or 4% M. oleifera leaf extract supplementation both ameliorate the arsenic induced toxicity but 4% M. oleifera leaf extract supplementation more significantly ameliorate arsenic induced toxic effect.

Authors: - Russel Fitz P. Wadasen
Published: April 2024

This paper is an examination of the various financial management practices of school heads in public schools with a focus on the challenges experienced and best practices implemented by school heads in relation to school financial management. The study made use of literature review to answer its objectives. From the study, it was shown that school heads experience challenges in financial management which include lack of training, weak financial management skills, lack and/or delay of funds, absence of financial support staff, poor collaborative planning, numerous bookkeeping tasks, unorganized record keeping, frequent changing of policies, absence of permanently stationed bookkeeper, and adherence to complex laws and policies. Despite these challenges, school heads have reported best practices which include collaboration with school focal person for budgetary planning and the keeping of financial record in a safe place. Some of the recommendation to address the challenges faced by the school heads include the hiring of school heads competent in financial management, continuing education and upskilling of school heads on financial management, empowering school heads on funds acquisition, assigning bookkeepers to all schools, maximizing School Governance Councils, documenting and sharing of best practices, and the conduct of further research in relation to school financial management.

This work developed composite and hybrid membranes of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) with nanocurcumin (NC) and/or cloisite 20A (C20A). The dispersed phases were characterized by DLS, ζ potential, XRD, SEM, and FTIR, while XRD, SEM, FTIR, mechanical properties, contact angle, and copper sorption evaluated the composite membranes. DLS analysis indicated that the dispersed phases present a nanometric size distribution; ζ potential measurements showed low electrostatic stability, explaining the agglomeration effects observed. Pure PBAT membranes presented macro-pores throughout their structure, which showed a slight size reduction with the inclusion of NC and C20A. The membrane's mechanical performance was affected by the presence of the pores that acted as stress-concentrating defects, and the inclusion of the dispersed phases increased the membrane elastic modulus and tensile strength, especially for PBAT/0.5%C20A with values 18.7 and 8.9% higher than those of pure PBAT, respectively. Composite membranes also showed a hydrophilic nature with all the contact angle measurements lower than 90º. The sorption tests using a high-concentration copper solution (1000 mg/L) showed that the composite membranes achieved a removal of around 25%. These results highlighted the development of new eco-friendly membranes using NC and C20A as dispersed phases with the potential to remove toxic elements from water.

Published: April 2024

This study explores the nutritional status of migrant and nonmigrant school-age children in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China, along with the contributing factors. A cross-sectional survey (n = 1655) was conducted among students aged 9–11 years across four schools. The findings reveal that 73% of the students’ parents are migrants. Compared with nonmigrants, migrant students exhibited a significantly lower obesity rate (5.2% vs. 8.8%). The migrant parents demonstrated lower levels of nutritional knowledge and education compared to nonmigrants, albeit local parents invested more time in work. Risk factors affecting the nutritional status of migrant children included age, sex, and cooking time, while for local children, gender, family size, sweet food consumption, and nutritional knowledge were identified as risk factors.

Published: April 2024

This study aimed to explore the efficacy of systematic nursing combined with Lianzhi Xiaoyan capsule on clinical efficacy and the incidence of adverse reactions due to emergency intravenous infusion in patients with acute gastroenteritis. The patients were divided into a control group, comprising patients who received conventional Western medicine treatment and routine emergency nursing, and an observation group, comprising patients who received conventional Western medicine treatment and routine emergency nursing combined with Lianzhi Xiaoyan capsules. The total effective rates among patients in the observation group were higher than those among patients in the control group (P < 0.05). The durations of fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting among patients in the observation group were shorter than those among patients in the control group. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and CD8+ levels among patients in the observation group were lower than those among patients in the control group. The incidences of adverse reactions during intravenous infusion were lower, and patient satisfaction with nursing care was higher among patients in the observation group than among those in the control group. Systematic nursing combined with Lianzhi Xiaoyan capsules has significant clinical efficacy and can reduce emergency intravenous infusion-related adverse reactions in patients with acute gastroenteritis.

Published: April 2024

Hepatitis B has become a major health threat because it is a life-threatening liver disease with an estimated 0.25 billion people suffering from this infectious disease worldwide. This paper presents a SLITR (Susceptible-Latent-Infectious-Treatment-Recovery) mathematical model that combines both vaccination and treatment as a means of controlling the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the HBV transmission capacities were resolved and the basic reproduction number R0 computed using the next generation matrix method and simulated numerically using the Runge-Kutta fourth order scheme implemented using MatLab. The stability points for disease-free equilibrium state (DFE), endemic equilibrium state (EE), and basic reproduction number R0 were obtained and the results show that the disease-free equilibrium was both locally and globally asymptotically stable (R0<1) . Similarly, treatment or vaccine administered was effective in alleviating the spread of HBV disease, and when both control strategies are combined, the diseases are quickly controlled and eventually eradicated.
Operationalising Progressive Ideas About Property: Resilient Property, Scale, and Systemic Compromise
Authors: Fox O'Mahony Lorna , Roark Marc
Published: April 2024

Property theory is at a crossroads. In recent decades, scholars seeking to advance progressive ideas about property have embraced ‘Progressive Property’ theories that seek to advance the goals of social justice and the common good, offering a vital counter-weight to utilitarian and neo-conservative accounts of property. Progressive Property theories seek to correct an imbalance in American property discourse which—across the temporal scale—has sustained a range of narratives and normative commitments, but which has veered towards extreme acquisitive individualism and the rhetoric of property absolutism since the 1970s. The idea that individual property rights are not absolute but defined by the requirements of social justice is uncontroversial in many European jurisdictions, reflecting their normative foundations in traditions of European social welfarism and Catholic social teaching. In Property Rights and Social Justice: Progressive Property in Action, Walsh foregrounds a system designed for normative hybridity, and evaluates the practical possibility of balancing commitments to social justice within a system that upholds private property rights.

In this Article, we build on Walsh’s account to consider the implications of her insights for scholars seeking to advance progressive ideas about property in the U.S. context across three registers of scale: rhetorical, jurisdictional, and physical. Applying Resilient Property Theory (“RPT"), we reflect on how the dominance of rhetorical methods in the last half-century has foregrounded ideological conflicts between competing normative commitments in U.S. property scholarship, locating scholars seeking to advance progressive ideas about property on a battleground that has been prepared to benefit others. Building on Walsh’s approach of “widening the doctrinal lens,” we argue that RPT offers a new methodological toolkit for advancing progressive ideas about property: by widening the legal lens; widening the contextual lens; and widening the methodological lens. We argue that each of these approaches, as they engage with material and hierarchical scales, offers opportunities to identify and advocate for compromise positions between respect for private property rights and social justice considerations, enabling active political and legal engagement with normative diversity and respecting and taking seriously different legal conceptions of the good.
Far Out: The Extended Denial of Public Access to Psychedelic Therapeutics
Authors: Waldeck Andrew R.
Published: April 2024

The United States patent regime is designed to promote dissemination of information that undergirds a particular innovation. To incentivize disclosure, inventors are granted a time-limited right to exclude others from practicing the invention, thereby affording the inventor a period in which to commercialize and financially benefit from their inventive contribution. The disclosure provides information sufficient for one of skill in the relevant art to make and use the invention, and the public may freely do so upon the patent’s expiry. Global advancement of human medicine is fundamentally intertwined with the United States patent system; medical progress largely depends upon the exclusionary protections United States patents confer. Ordinarily, the expiry of patents covering therapeutic products and methods yields substantial price reduction, as new market participants seek to establish market share by undercutting the expired patent holder and others. The patent system also yields to the public not only access to new and improved medical technology but also a delayed, unencumbered freedom to make and use the invention upon the patent’s exhaustion. Recently, psychoactive chemical compounds have garnered renewed and international attention. Although many psychedelic substances have had a long history of human use, including within therapeutic contexts, the Controlled Substances Act and related legislation significantly stifled research directed toward developing these substances for medical use. This “artificial” impediment to therapeutic innovation effectively delayed public access to the fruits of earlier innovation.

Human resource management (HRM) is an important aspect in an organization that influences employee performance. In the context of the Directorate General of Food Crops, there are several problems that affect employee performance, including work discipline that is not yet strict, employee competency that is not appropriate, and less effective communication between employees. This research aims to determine the influence of work discipline, competence and communication on employee performance with motivation as an intervening variable. The research sample was 120 employees at the Directorate General of Food Crops using the Hair formula. The research approach is a quantitative method. Data collection techniques were carried out using interviews and closed questionnaires with a Likert scale of 1 to 5 with data analysis techniques using Smart PLS 3. The research results showed that there was a positive and significant influence of work discipline on employee performance, but competency did not have a significant influence on employee performance. Meanwhile, communication has a positive and significant influence on employee performance. Work discipline is also proven to have a positive and significant influence on employee motivation, but competence does not have a significant influence on motivation. Communication is also proven to have a positive and significant influence on employee motivation. Furthermore, work discipline, competence and communication also have a positive and significant influence on employee performance through motivation as an intervening variable. Based on the results of this research, several suggestions that can be made are the need to increase the application of stricter work discipline, develop employee competencies in accordance with job demands, and improve communication between employees to improve overall performance. Efforts are also needed to provide appropriate motivation to employees as a driving force in improving their performance.

Authors: Yuko Uemura  , Kumiko Kido
Published: April 2024

Background: Through virtual reality (VR) technology, one can be guided through physical actions while viewing images that are equivalent to an actual environment. Because VR environments ensure safety and provide a repetitive learning environment, educational methods that use VR technology are being developed for nursing education.Purpose: To create a parenting skills program that utilizes VR technology and compare participants’ degree of independence in their parenting skills before and after the program.Methods: The researcher filmed with a digital camera using a 360-degree lens, edited the filmed video into a 5-minute program, and created a VR parenting skills program. Participants’ degree of parenting independence and subjective evaluation of sickness due to the use of VR were assessed before and after the VR parenting skills program.Results: About a third of the participants had experienced caring for a newborn and had little experience bathing them. In FY2021, the VR parenting skills program was improved in FY2020, and when comparing before and after the VR parenting skills program, participants’ level of independence in their parenting skills increased. Simulator sickness questionnaires scores before and after viewing VR did not differ significantly.Conclusion: After viewing the program, participants’ degree of independence in their nursing skills increased. In addition, because VR technology has little effect on the body, we believe this is an effective educational method for learning nursing skills.

Published: April 2024

A skeletal rearrangement of a series of 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-4-ols has been developed using SOCl2 in the presence of pyridine. An oxygen migration from C5 to C4 was observed when the C4 alcohols were treated with SOCl2/pyridine, giving a 2-chloro-3,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring-system via the chlorosulfite intermediate. Analogous allylic alcohols with endocyclic and exocyclic unsaturations underwent chlorination without rearrangement due to formation of allylic cations. The rearrangement was also demonstrated using Appel conditions, which gave similar results via the alkoxytriphenylphosphonium intermediate. Several reactions of the products were investigated to show the utility of the rearrangement.

Live-streaming activities on TikTok have developed into the most popular form of content creation today because it is equipped with virtual prizes so that various types of live streaming content have emerged, one of which leads to "online begging" activities. This research used qualitative research methods through symbolic interaction studies by analyzing the relationship between actors (streamers) and audiences. The results of this study show that virtual gifts on TikTok which were originally used as a means of expression & appreciation are then used as a tool to ask for sympathy and empathy. This research also shows that the motivation of gift givers also varies from sympathy to mere entertainment. There are legal and economic aspects and determining factors that support that the phenomenon of begging in live streaming can lead to economic progress, but it does not rule out the possibility of violating the law and being prosecuted according to applicable laws and regulations. This research can be a consideration in forming regulations and intervention strategies for the government and related agencies regarding this phenomenon.

La muestra en confinamiento fue de 75 estudiantes, 53.3% mujeres y 46.6% hombres; para el semestre de 2023-2, participaron 153 estudiantes, 52.9% mujeres y 47% hombres. Se aplicó el Inventario de Estrés Académico SISCO-SV 21 de Barraza (2018) adaptado a los dos períodos. Los resultados indican que en ambos momentos se mantuvo un nivel de estrés académico moderado, siendo los estresores más altos la sobrecarga de trabajo, evaluaciones parciales y finales y tiempo limitado para estudiar; los síntomas más altos fueron la fatiga crónica, tensión corporal y emocional, ansiedad, entre otros. Se concluye que hay una relación concomitante entre estresores y síntomas, que se mantiene independientemente del período revisado; con mayor incidencia en las mujeres y en semestres intermedios. Por último, el conocimiento de estrategias de afrontamiento no garantiza su aplicación para bajar el nivel de estrés.

En Ecuador existe una contradicción referente al control de constitucionalidad, por una parte, se tiene que el control es concentrado y la Corte Constitucional es la única que puede interpretar la Constitución; mientras que del mismo texto constitucional se desprende que todas las autoridades públicas deben aplicar de forma directa e inmediata la norma suprema. Bajo esta perspectiva, se plantea como objetivo general, analizar de manera doctrinaria y legal el control mixto de constitucionalidad en Ecuador, para lo cual se emplea una metodología de carácter cualitativo, la misma que permite describir las características del problema de estudio, así como a través del método dogmático que trata acerca del estudio de la doctrina y el método exegético que centra su estudio en las normas jurídicas se podrá conseguir el cumplimiento del objetivo propuesto. Llegando a concluir que, en Ecuador el único control avalado por la norma suprema es el concentrado; sin embargo, la aplicación de los derechos constituye un primer filtro otorgado a todas las autoridades públicas administrativas o judiciales para evidenciar una posible inconstitucionalidad.

El papel de la radiología intervencionista ha presentado una mayor expansión a lo largo de los últimos años, ya que la aplicación de la resonancia magnética (RM) y la tomografía computarizada (TC) ha ofrecido diferentes ventajas para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de las patologías de la columna vertebral. Por ello, realizamos una búsqueda bibliográfica de diferentes artículos en inglés y español en diferentes bases de datos, bibliotecas nacionales e internacionales dando como resultado diferentes reportes de casos en los que se evidencian la aplicación de la radiología intervencionista en diferentes patologías como cifosis, lordosis, escoliosis, fracturas, etc. brindando un alivio rápido de los sintomas y la reducción de diferentes complicaciones. Por lo tanto, la radiología intervencionista se ha posicionado como una herramienta de gran importancia en el ámbito clínico.

Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) affects the brain, spinal cord, or other nerves and leads to neurological and psychiatric symptoms directly related to SLE. We report a series of four female patients with NPSLE as the first presentation for SLE. None of them were previously diagnosed with SLE. The first case involved a 50-year-old patient who presented with back pain and lower limb weakness for three weeks associated with numbness. A lumbar puncture was done, and CSF analysis showed high WBC and normal glucose levels with negative CSF cultures for bacteria. The patient was diagnosed with aseptic meningitis and treated with antibiotics and antiviral medication without improvement. So she was treated as a case of SLE aseptic meningitis with steroids. In the second case, a 20-year-old patient had a generalized tonic-clonic seizure with the acute manifestation of hypertensive urgency. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done and suggested posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). The third case was for a 38-year-old patient who complained of dizziness, general weakness, and convulsion. On review of the systems, the patients had positive symptoms of SLE. Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) and double-stranded ds-DNA were positive. Computed tomography (CT) scans were done and showed a thymoma. The patient was diagnosed with SLE in association with focal seizures and thymoma. In the last case, a 44-year-old patient presented with tongue heaviness and right-side weakness. MRI revealed small acute lacunar infarction scattered at both cerebral hemispheres and the right side of the cerebellum, and chest CT showed pulmonary embolism (PE). The patient was diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke and PE related to SLE. In conclusion, the neurological manifestations of SLE are a significant issue for both patients and clinicians. Here we report a unique case series and describe the prognosis and outcome of the treatment in these cases.

Simulation-based education (SBE) follows a stepwise approach, starting with basic skills, moving to procedural training and culminating in team training. The stepwise iterative model is dictated by learning outcomes.

The ADDIE model is an iterative instructional design where the results of the formative evaluation of each phase may lead to any of the previous phases. ADDIE is the acronym for analyzing, designing, developing, implementing and evaluating. The process validates the procedures and products related to the development of learner‑centered learning encounters and adds credibility by analyzing and evaluating procedures and interrelatedness. Sufficient evidence that simulation training improves individual and team performance is available. It has a positive effect on self‑confidence, knowledge, and operational performance. Further evidence proves that deliberate practice, procedural simulation, and debriefing can be transferred to operational performance in clinical settings and could result in safer and more efficient care for patients, health‑care providers, and health systems.
