Building and breaking the gut barrier with bariatric surgery
Authors: Hankir Mohammed K.
Published: January 2022

Bariatric surgery has been proposed to improve glycemic control in morbidly obese patients by stabilising the gut barrier and alleviating endotoxemia-induced insulin resistance. Here, recent studies are highlighted which reveal site-specific and at times opposing effects of bariatric surgery on the gut barrier. Further understanding the underlying mechanisms may not only inform the development of novel gut-based drugs for the initial treatment of type 2 diabetes, but possibly also assist in the management of its eventual relapse.
Novos produtores de média? O perfil do produtor de podcasts português
Authors: Martins Ruben , Vieira Jorge
Published: January 2022

Com a massificação do formato de podcast (Morgan, 2015), surgiram em Portugal conteúdos áudio criados fora dos circuitos tradicionais das rádios. A acessibilidade desta tecnologia fez com que os produtores de conteúdo a usassem para chegar a uma audiência (Berry, 2006).

A digitalização da rádio e o surgimento da tecnologia de podcasting levou à existência de novos produtores de conteúdos em áudio exclusivamente para a internet. A democratização do meio (Balzen, 2017), possibilitada através da existência de software de baixo custo ou de código aberto, da massificação dos reprodutores portáteis, e das plataformas de online blogging (Berry, 2018) tem levado ao aumento e diversificação dos conteúdos disponíveis.

Para perceber quem são os produtores de podcasts (podcasters) em Portugal foi aplicado um inquérito online (com uma amostra de 92) através do qual foi possível identificar o perfil-tipo do produtor português: homem, com formação superior, sem experiência anterior em rádio, que lança em média um episódio novo do seu formato a cada semana e com uma idade média de 31 anos.

Este artigo apresenta ainda a caracterização do mercado português de podcasts independentes no momento imediatamente anterior à realização do inquérito (Setembro de 2018), tendo sido registado a existência de uma centena de formatos, 77 dos quais ativos aquando do levantamento. Eram as categorias de “Comédia”, “TV e Cinema” e “Desporto e lazer” que apresentavam mais episódios disponíveis.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to verify the efficiency of 1,4-dimethylnapthalene in suppressing sprouting and the consequent maintenance of the quality of potato tubers of Asterix and Challenger cultivars, at different temperatures and storage regimes. Six treatments were tested, with and without 1.4-DNM, at temperatures of 8 ° C and 20 ° C. Assessments were made at 0, 45, 90, 135 and 180 days after application. The parameters evaluated were: number of sprouts, levels of total soluble sugars, levels of reducing and non-reducing sugars and coloration of potato strips after frying. The effects of 1.4-DMN on the quality control of potatoes resulted in sprout control and lower levels of total soluble sugars and reducing sugars, especially in the Challenger cultivar and at a temperature of 20 ºC.

Published: January 2022

Resumo: Introdução: O curso de Medicina da Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar) foi criado com o objetivo de formar profissionais generalistas que atendessem à demanda de reestruturação do modelo de assistência proposto pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Assim, optou-se por um currículo orientado por competência, com inserção longitudinal dos estudantes em cenários assistenciais da atenção primária à saúde (APS) do primeiro ao sexto ano e a adoção de metodologia ativa de ensino-aprendizado. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar em que medida o curso de Medicina implantado na UFSCar, considerando seus aspectos didáticos e organizacionais, resultou na formação de profissionais voltados à atuação na APS. Método: Foram convidados a participar do estudo médicos egressos das turmas I a V da UFSCar. Mediante aceite, encaminhou-se um questionário virtual que contemplava: identificação, análise do perfil profissional e análise de fatores que influenciaram a escolha da especialidade e de fatores que contribuíram ou não para a aproximação da APS. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise descritiva e apresentados como média ± DP ou frequência absoluta (porcentagem), conforme a variável. Resultado: Dos 183 alunos contatados, 77 responderam à pesquisa. Destes, 73 (94,8%) escolheram fazer especialização, e um optou por atuar na APS como médico de família e comunidade. O elemento que mais influenciou, positiva e negativamente, a escolha da especialidade foi o contato com a área médica durante a graduação. Com relação aos fatores que poderiam ter despertado o interesse dos estudantes para atuar na APS, 13 dos 16 elementos avaliados (81,2%) não contribuíram. Conclusão: À semelhança de outros cursos de Medicina do Brasil, os egressos do curso de Medicina da UFSCar optaram por fazer especializações não voltadas à atuação na APS, em dissonância com o modelo de reestruturação da assistência proposto pelo SUS.

Influence of rockfill particle breakage on long-term settlement of embankment dams
Authors: Alidadi Saber , Alipour Rasoul , Shakeri Mohammadreza
Published: January 2022

The current research was implemented to monitor and rehabilitate the structural health of Masjed-E-Soleyman dam (MESD). With a height of 177 m, the MESD is one of the highest rockfill dams in Iran, and suffers from extensive and unpredictable settlements and related cracks. To investigate the non-homogeneous (conglomerate) rockfill's brittle behaviour in before–after and during triaxial tests, a series of laboratory tests under conventional stress paths were carried out using a large-scale triaxial apparatus. A numerical time-dependent model was used to find a relationship between particle breakage and the time-dependent settlement of the embankment dam. The core aim of this work was to investigate particle breakage of the conglomerate material in the MESD and to identify the non-homogeneous relative particle breakage index (RPBI) by establishing a relationship between the RPBI for this material and plastic work. The research was divided into three significant steps. The breakage index (before–after tests) was calculated in the first step. The relationship between the breakage index and plastic work (during tests) was then introduced. Finally, the future crest settlement of the MESD was predicted using a numerical viscoelastic Burgers model that was calibrated using accurate monitoring data of the dam.

Published: January 2022

The effects of nano-silica (NS) and nano-alumina (NA) additions on problematic marl soil in Tabriz, Iran were investigated. Marl soils constitute the foundations for most projects in Tabriz. Due to water absorption, these soils are liable to volume change, leading to instability risks in the foundations. Various physical and chemical methods have been employed to stabilise these soils. In the present study, for the first time, reconstructed samples of Tabriz marl were stabilised with various percentages of NS and NA, which have fewer negative environmental effects compared with ordinary additives such as Portland cement or lime. Soil swelling behaviours were evaluated experimentally using tests for Atterberg limits, density, free swelling, swelling pressure, California bearing ratio (CBR) and direct shear. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction analyses were conducted at curing times of 1, 7 and 28 days. It was found that NA had a greater effect on reducing the swelling of stabilised samples than NS. However, NS had a greater effect on increasing the strength (CBR).
Analysis of the dissemination of Accounting theses in Brazil
Authors: Pereira Alefi dos Santos , Vendramin Elisabeth de Oliveira
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this research was to analyze the dissemination of scientific knowledge generated in theses in Accounting Sciences in Brazil defended in stricto sensu graduate programs, between 2009 and 2018. It is a study with a qualitative approach of descriptive character, based on bibliographical and documentary. For data collection, the repositories of theses and dissertations and the regulations of graduate accounting programs in Brazil were used, in addition to the collection available on the CNPq lattes platform. Data recorded in the lattes curriculum of PhDs in each graduate program were analyzed. The data show that the most relevant institutions in research projects, FEA USP and FURB are among those that publish the most. It was found that the theses studied are largely disseminated through annals in congresses and academic events. Among the articles published in scientific journals, 38.0% were in a Qualis A2, B1, and B2 journal, in which FEA USP was the university responsible for the largest number of publications. It was also found that of the 302 articles published with direct relation to doctoral theses, there were 2,382 citations in other scientific research. Of the grand total of theses defended and their respective publications in periodical articles, it appears that the Southeast region was the one with the highest rates of publications. There was a limitation in passing on these data from the accounting area to society in general, and one of the suggestions is to change the form of disclosure and writing, for example, in the format of lectures and workshops.
Part-introducing 'percent' in English
Authors: Coppock Elizabeth
Published: January 2022

Two uses of English percent, called ‘conservative’ and ‘reversed’, have been extensively discussed in the literature. In ‘reversed’ uses, percent introduces a predicate that characterizes a part of a larger whole. This paper points out that there are other constructions in which it does so as well, and illustrates the full range of such ‘part-introducing’ uses, using corpus examples. I then consider how existing theories fare in capturing its distribution, and offer two suggestions for improving the empirical coverage with a uniform treatment of the part-introducing uses. First, I propose a type-shift that converts a non-gradable predicate to a gradable one that tracks mereological parthood. This makes any non-gradable predicate eligible for use with an analysis of percent designed for constructions like 75% full. Second, motivated by cumulative-like readings, I sketch an analysis in a dynamic semantics with plurals in which percent applies to a cross-assignment sum, evaluated after the rest of the constraints in the clause have been applied to the discourse referent in question.

Published: January 2022

Leucaena leucocephala is a potential species for wood-energy production in Indonesia. A study of genetic improvement was initiated with a progeny test of 80 lines from 10 seed sources. Plant height and stem diameter were measured at 6 and 18 months, growth index (GI) calculated at 18 months and wood biomass production measured at 30 months. Differences between seed sources for height and diameter were observed at 6 months but not at 18 months. Significant differences between lines within seed source were observed for height and diameter at 6 months and these differences remained at 18 months. Differences between lines for GI and biomass were significant at 18 and 30 months respectively. At 18 months, line mean heritability for height, diameter and GI were estimated to be moderate, namely 0.62, 0.61 and 0.62 respectively. At 30 months line mean heritability for biomass was moderately low (0.39). Genetic correlations between height and diameter were moderately high at 6 months (0.74) and increased at 18 months (0.82), while correlation between diameters at 6 and 18 months was high (0.93). The expected genetic gain from selecting the 25 and 10 best lines with a high line value for GI was 33.7% and 48.8% respectively, with lines from the Indonesian local seed sources found to be the best performers. Three lines from the newly introduced Tarramba cultivar also had good performance. These results are discussed in relation to the future improvement program of this species for wood energy production.

Published: January 2022

The impacts of fertilization regimes and stubble heights in signal grass cv. Basilisk pastures were evaluated during latespring and summer in Brazil. Liming and N, P and K fertilization were applied to generate gradients in soil fertility tomaintain soil base saturations around 35%, 50% and 65%, increase soil P concentration and the proportion of K in soilcation exchange capacity, combined with two stubble heights of 10 and 15 cm. Herbage accumulation was not affectedby fertilization regimes and stubble height reaching 10 t/ha of dry matter during the growing season. Cutting at 10cm maximizes the leaf mass and leaf area index and decreases dead material mass without the need of high soil basesaturation and NPK fertilization rates to sustain plant growth. However, this stubble height required longer regrowthperiods to attain 95% of light interception (LI95%). A stubble height of 15 cm is preferred when short regrowth periods are required. The canopy height at the point of LI95% does not change with fertilization regimes, but the LI95% is reached at different canopy heights in late spring and summer in signal grass pastures. The adoption of a moderate fertilization regime is recommended as a strategy to obtain an equitable forage distribution between late spring and summer.

To mitigate the low animal performance on Mombaça guineagrass pasture during the dry period, feeding 2 types ofsupplement to 2 genetic groups was evaluated. The experimental design was a randomized block design following a 2 ×2 factorial arrangement with 4 replications. The treatments consisted of feeding 2 levels of supplement (0.25 and 1.0% of body weight; BW), named low-cost supplement (LCS; US$ 11.75/steer) and high-cost supplement (HCS; US$ 62.80/steer), respectively, for 130 days (July–October; dry season) to 2 genetic groups: Caracu and F1 Senepol × Caracu. The steers were supplemented daily and weighed every 28 days. Pastures were evaluated monthly to estimate the herbage accumulation rate, herbage mass (HM), leaf, stem and dead material percentages and nutritive value. HM, morphological components and nutritive value were independent of supplement type fed (P>0.05). There were decreases in HM (3,720 to 3,205 kg DM/ha), daily herbage allowance (14.0 to 9.4 kg DM/100 kg BW) and leaf percentage (33.4 to 21.2%) and increase in dead material percentage (53.3 to 67.7%) throughout the experimental period. In vitro organic matter digestibility (59.9%), crude protein concentration (10.0%), neutral detergent fiber (72.1%) and acid detergent lignin (2.9%) remained constant from July to September but increased markedly in October. Steers supplemented with HCS performed better (P<0.05) than those which received LCS (1.005 vs. 0.565 kg liveweight gain/head/day, respectively). Regardless of supplement type, F1 Senepol × Caracu steers had greater average daily gains than pure Caracu steers (0.88 vs. 0.71 kg/hd/d, respectively). Feeding HCS to steers in the dry season would produce better performance than LCS and could reduce time to reach slaughter weight but weight changes during the subsequent wet season should be monitored to assess the extent of any compensatory gain by the low-cost group during this period to reduce the weight advantage of the high-cost group.

Die Toepassing van die Wet op Beroepsgesondheid en -Veiligheid en ander Veiligheidsmaatreëls by Skole se Tegnologiewerkswinkels / The Application of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and other Safety Measures at Schools' Technology Workshops
Authors: Smit Marius H
Published: January 2022

Empirical research conducted by education researchers over a period of approximately 20 years confirms that uncertainty exists whether the provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) apply to technology workshops at academic, technical and special schools; whether compliance with the safety provisions of the OHSA is lacking; and whether serious injuries at technology workshops at schools occur from time to time. A comparative study of foreign law regarding occupational safety at technology workshops at high schools confirms that many countries have national or federal occupational safety and health statutes that apply to workplaces as well as public schools, although some have specific statutes or regulations addressing occupational safety at public schools. Countries like Germany, the Netherlands and some states of the United States of America define school-going children and students as "workers" in terms of their occupational safety legislation. Germany includes all school-going children in its statutory accident insurance scheme to provide for faultless compensation in case of injury. In determining whether the OHSA applies to technical workshops at high schools, the fundamental rights, as well as its spirit and purport, must be considered through the prism of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. Applying the traditional literalist-cum-intentionalist approach to the interpretation of the OHSA, the conclusion is that this Act does indeed apply to technology workshops at schools. In terms of section 60(1)(a) of the South African Schools Act state liability for damages occurring as a result of school activities does provide essential legal protection. However, the South African Schools Act, school safety policies and school infrastructure regulations do not make explicit provision for the application of health and safety standards at school premises that use potentially dangerous machinery and equipment in places such as technical workshops and science laboratories. It is therefore recommended that the OHSA, the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, the Schools Act and the School Infrastructure Regulations be amended to provide legal certainty in respect of the application of occupational safety to technical workshops at high schools.
Regulator or controller: a five-year analysis of the cat and mouse games between the Uganda Communications Commission and broadcasters in Uganda
Authors: Walyemera Daniel Masumba
Published: January 2022

This article examines the conduct of the broadcasting regulator in Uganda. It considers whether the law governing the Uganda Communications Commission is in tandem with international human rights standards. This is in specific regard to media freedoms and other associated human rights. The major conclusion is that Uganda's broadcasting regime is ambiguous and is used as a tool to facilitate partisan political interests. As a consequence, the said regime does not meet international human rights standards. The article recommends reform of the legal regime, including the operationalisation of the Uganda Communications Tribunal to curb the arbitrary directives of the Uganda Communications Commission to radio, television and online broadcasters in Uganda.
Flow resistance in channels with large emergent roughness elements
Authors: James C S
Published: January 2022

Reducing uncertainty in flow resistance estimation in natural channels requires elucidation of contributing influences. Surface shear and form drag are the major contributors in channels containing large roughness elements under emergent flow conditions. The two effects can be accounted for in the Darcy-Weisbach and Manning equations by adding their associated, separate friction factors or taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the corresponding Manning coefficients. The friction factor for form drag can be estimated from the drag coefficient and areal density of the roughness elements and the flow depth. Predictions of the combined effect are tested against results of laboratory experiments with different arrangements of emergent cylinders on smooth and rough beds, using experimentally determined drag coefficients for the cylinders. The variation of the overall resistance coefficient with flow condition depends on the dominant influence, decreasing with flow depth when surface shear dominates, and increasing with depth when form drag dominates.
Load spreading in ultra-thin high-strength steel-fibre-reinforced concrete pavements
Authors: Smit M S , Kearsley E P
Published: January 2022

Ultra-Thin Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (UTCRCP) consists of a 50 mm thin High-Strength Steel-Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (HS-SFRC) overlay placed on existing pavements as rehabilitation or used as part of new pavements. Difficulties have been experienced with the construction of UTCRCP. Additionally, the thin HS-SFRC has superior fatigue properties, but poor load-spreading ability compared to conventional concrete pavements due to its reduced thickness. This results in high deflections when the pavement is loaded. The substructure of UTCRCP plays an important role in its performance. Cement-stabilised granular materials can be used to ensure gradual load spreading with depth, but its behaviour under flexible concrete layers is not yet well understood. In this study the effect of increasing the HS-SFRC layer thickness and the effect of incorporating cement-stabilised base layers were investigated using linear elastic finite element modelling. From stress levels calculated, it was found that C1 and C2 materials perform well underneath a 50 mm HS-SFRC layer subjected to standard axle loads of 80 kN, while C3 and C4 would deteriorate faster. Stabilised layers placed below a thin, flexible concrete layer may however crack, resulting in increased damage to supporting layers. It is recommended that the response of UTCRCP should be investigated using advanced material models for the cement-stabilised base and other substructure layers.
Smallholder farmer coping and adaptation strategies for agricultural water use during drought periods in the Overberg and West Coast Districts, Western Cape, South Africa
Authors: Olwethu Pili  , Bongani Ncube
Published: January 2022

Drought is one of the most significant disasters affecting farm productivity in South Africa, with the Western Cape Province among the most affected areas. Smallholder farmers usually suffer the most due to limited resources. The study identified agricultural water use coping and adaptation strategies adopted by both crop and livestock smallholder farmers in the West Coast and Overberg districts during the recent 2015–2018 drought. Interviews were conducted with 100 smallholder farmers and 11 focus group discussions were held in the two districts. Quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, while qualitative data were analysed using Atlas.ti. Furthermore, the Hyogo Framework of Action was used to analyse the support that smallholder farmers had received and to understand how smallholder farmers could be effectively supported to promote the adoption of proactive strategies to deal with drought in the short and long term. It was found that the 2015–2018 drought occurred when smallholder farmers from both districts were least expecting it and were unprepared. In the West Coast District, the main coping strategies included using borehole water and selling livestock. In the Overberg District, smallholder farmers coped by purchasing fodder and transporting water from sources such as the river and dam to the farms. Several smallholder farmers in both districts did not implement any adaptation strategies. They were largely unaware of proactive agricultural water use strategies that could bolster their resilience to drought. Recommendations for the future include the adoption of drip irrigation, mulching, growing vegetables with shorter growing periods and changing planting dates. For livestock farmers, adaptation strategies include drilling boreholes and grazing management. There is also a need for early warning systems to improve the drought preparedness of smallholder farmers.
Deriving the maximum extent and hydroperiod of open water from Sentinel-2 imagery for global sustainability and biodiversity reporting for wetlands
Authors: Heidi van Deventer  , A Linström  , JF Durand  , L Naidoo  , MA Cho
Published: January 2022

The monitoring of wetland extent is a global imperative, considering loss of ecosystem services and conservation value. To date, the understanding of the variation in the extent of lacustrine (inundated) wetlands has been limited, based on intermittently available, coarse-scale imagery. The aim of this study was to assess the capabilities of the freely available Sentinel-2 sensor in monitoring inundated wetlands. In particular, to demonstrate the ability to determine the maximum extent of inundation for reporting on the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 15.1 (i.e., halting biodiversity loss), the functional diversity and the hydrological regime of depressions were explored in the Mpumalanga Lake District (MLD) of South Africa. Using the monthly inundation data derived from Sentinel-2 images between January 2016 and May 2018, the results showed that the maximum extent of open water can be successfully reported for SDG 6.6. Lacustrine wetlands constituted about 47 of the 416 (but 66% of the total areal extent of) depressions in the MLD, while others were predominantly palustrine (vegetated). The functional diversity varied from predominantly (61% of the extent of) inundated depressions to seasonally (3%) inundated depressions. The Sentinel-2 sensor was able to detect intra- and inter-annual variation of the extent of inundation, making it suitable to monitor these wetlands for global and climate change impacts.
Framework for implementation of the Pitman-WR2012 model in seasonal hydrological forecasting: a case study of Kraai River, South Africa
Authors: Sesethu Fikileni  , Piotr Wolski
Published: January 2022

Hydrological forecasting becomes an important tool in water resources management in forecasting the future state of the water resources in a catchment. The need for a reliable seasonal hydrologic forecast is significant and is becoming even more urgent under future climate conditions, as the assimilation of seasonal forecast information in decision making becomes part of the short and long-term climate change adaptation strategies in a range of contexts, such as energy supply, water supply and management, rural-urban, agriculture, infrastructure and disaster preparedness and relief. This work deals with the framework for implementation of the Pitman-WR2012 model in a hydrological forecasting mode. The Pitman-WR2012 model was forced with 10-member ensemble seasonal climate forecast from Climate Forecast Systems v.2 (CFSv2), which is downscaled using the principal components regression (PCR) approach. The generated seasonal hydrological forecast focused on the summer season, in particular on the Dec–Jan–Feb (DJF) period, which is the rainy season in the studied catchment (Kraai River catchment in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa). The hydrological forecast issued at the end of November showed skill in December and February (assessed through Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) and Ranked Probability Skill Score (RPSS)), with poorer skill in January. Importantly, the skill of streamflow forecast was better than that of rainfall forecast, which likely results from the influence of the initial conditions of the hydrological model. In conclusion Pitman-WR2012 model performed realistically when implemented in seasonal hydrological forecasts mode, and it is important that in that mode the model is run with near-real-time rainfall data in order to maximize forecast skill arising from initial conditions.

Autour des projets d’insertion des « Roms »
Authors: DUEZ Jean-Baptiste
Published: January 2022

Le concept de « super-diversité » proposé par Steven Vertovec (Vertovec, 2007) peut s’avérer prolifique pour aborder la situation contrastée des destructions des « terrains », « bidonvilles », « Platz » ou « campements » et des mouvements sociaux qui les ont accompagnés, mais aussi pour questionner les conditions d’émergence des projets d’insertion ainsi que leur réception. Une enquête ethnographique s’intéressant au parcours de « résidents » et au suivi de personnes s’étant trouvées sur différents bidonvilles restitue ces différentes situations afin de décrire comment l’inscription territoriale s’est concrétisée, et comment les parcours individuels et d’élévation sociale se construisent en dépit des stratégies nationales visant à les refouler. Malgré un intérêt marqué pour l’histoire européenne et mondiale qui les concerne au premier plan, le constat reste celui d’une situation figée et d’un faible engagement de l’État et des politiques publiques.
Le pluralisme éthique et associatif de Jean-Marie Guyau
Authors: MULLER Laurent
Published: January 2022

Si les philosophes ont coutume de penser la morale à l’aune d’un modèle, dont l’imitation serait un bien et l’écart un mal, le philosophe et penseur critique de l’évolution Jean-Marie Guyau (1854-1888) subvertit cette exigence d’uniformité. Le pluralisme éthique, loin d’être un facteur de décohésion morale et sociale, serait au contraire la condition d’une existence qui se ressource dans la puissance de la vie, et dont l’intensification est productrice de solidarité. L’anomie, puisque c’est le nom que Guyau confère à cette éthique pluraliste, déborde ainsi sur la promotion paradoxale de l’association, comme forme fluide de société, à même de répondre à cet appel de la vie à toujours plus de différenciation.
Salinity induced redox metabolic shift influence hormonal profile and germination performance of two contrasting indica rice cultivars

Published: January 2022

The role of redox deviations under salinity on metabolic dysfunction associated with progression of seed germination is well documented. However, the correlative evaluation of the salinity induced changes in the redox system and hormonal profile in regulating germination are least studied and hence is the subject of present investigation. Imposition of post imbibitional salinity stress (PISS) to two contrasting rice genotypes differing in sensitivity towards salinity (Oryza sativa L., Cultivars Patnai and IR29) caused differential and significant redox-metabolic shift and germination performances. Biomarkers of oxidative stress like, accumulation of total ROS, in situ localization of hydrogen peroxide, radical scavenging property, and lipid peroxidation are assessed for the determination of salinity induced differential changes in redox status of both the experimental cultivars. Salt resistant cultivar Patnai exhibiting better redox regulatory property under PISS in terms of controlled generation of ROS (DCFDA oxidation, H2O2 content) with greater elicitation of total antioxidant capacity (DPPH radical scavenging property), contends lipid peroxidation (accumulation of TBARS) as compared to the salt-sensitive cultivar IR 29. RP-HPLC based estimation of PISS-induced alteration in hormonal pools showed strong correlation between altered redox status (assessed in terms of redox biomarkers) and hormonal profile (endogenous titer of gibberellic acid (GA3), abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonic acid (JA)) and germination and other physiological phenotypes (t50 value, allocation index, relative water content, and Na+ / K+ ratio) of the experimental rice germplasms, suggesting the influence of differential shift in redox status on germination hormones and early growth performances. Taken as a whole, the work proposes close connection between salinity induced changes in oxidative windows and hormonal profile of germinating seeds, necessary for better management of salinity stress in agriculture.
Controlled release of 5-Fluorouracil by a novel L-Lysine based polyesterurethane material synthesized from Epoxide and CO2 via a novel dicopper salen catalyst
Authors: Arunangshu Kundu , Gobinda Chandra De , Sushobhan Ghosh
Published: January 2022

Controlled release of anticancer drug 5-Fluorouracil by several delivery systems are known including porous polymeric materials. Herein we report a novel L-lysine based porous polyesterurethane material 1 which acts as a controlled release vehicle for 5-Fluorouracil. Polyesterurethane material 1 was synthesized from a green isocyanate and phosgene free synthetic route involving conversion of epoxide 2-(phenoxymethyl)oxirane and CO2 to cyclic carbonate 2 followed by ring opening with an amino acid L-Lysine to a bishydroxy compound 3 under green aqueous reaction condition. The bishydroxy compound 3 was subsequently reacted with 0.66 equivalent of trimesyl chloride in presence of triethyl amine to get the polyesterurethane material 1. The polyesterurethane material 1 was characterized via NMR, IR and MALDI analysis. From the SEM image of the polyesterurethane 1 and 5-Fluorouracil encapsulated polyesterurethane 1 it is evident that material 1 remain with porous topology which is filled by 5-Fluorouracil that is further evidenced by EDX spectroscopy with the presence of Fluorine. The controlled release of 5-Fluorouracil from the drug encapsulated 1 was monitored via UV visible spectroscopy at pH 7.4.

Frequency of complications in a cohort of patients diagnosed with hemophilia A or hemophilia B receiving prophylactic treatment at a health care institution in Colombia: Retrospective noninterventional study v1
Authors: Machado Alba Jorge
Published: January 2022

Objective: Hemophilia A and B are disorders associated with the deficit of coagulation factors VIII and IX that increase the risk of bleeding and complications (clotting factor inhibitor antibodies, severe bleedings, hospitalizations and anaphylactic reactions) depending on the severity of the disorder. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of complications in a cohort of patients diagnosed with moderate and severe hemophilia A or B under treatment in a specialized institution. Methods: A retrospective study of a cohort of patients with replacement therapy for hemophilia A or B, evaluating treatment and complications between January/2012 and July/2019. The characteristics associated to disease management, sociodemographic and clinical variables were extracted from the medical records. Time to inhibitor development and rate associated to bleeding and hospitalizations were evaluated. Results: A total of 159 male patients were identified with hemophilia A (n=140; 88.1%) and B (n=19; 11.9%) with a mean follow-up of 5.9±2.3 years. The mean age was 23.6±16.1 years and hemophilia was reported as severe in 125 patients in hemophilia A (89.3%) and 13 patients in hemophilia B (68.4%). Primary prophylaxis was registered in 17.0% of patients, 44.7% secondary, and 38.3% tertiary, mainly with recombinant factors (n=84; 52.8%) followed by plasma derived factors (n=75; 47.2%). The incidence of inhibitor development was 0.3 per 100 patients/year, with mean time to event of 509 days. The incidence of bleeding was 192 per 100 patients/year, especially at the joint (n=99; 62.3%) and muscle (n=25; 15.7%) level. The incidence of hospitalization was 3.7 per 100 patients/year and only 2 patients reported anaphylactic reactions to the factor. Conclusions: The most common complication was joint bleeding which was expected in this type of patients. Low proportion of patients developed factor inhibitors during the follow up.
Study of physicochemical and antioxidant synergy efficacy of betel leaf dried paste powde

Published: January 2022

The present study analyses the drying kinetics and changes in qualities during
hot air drying of betel leaf paste for the manufacturing of betel leaf paste
powder. A comparative study was conducted to evaluate the changes in
different properties, including physico-chemical properties, proximate
composition and other functional properties. The betel leaf paste dried powders
have longer shelf life than raw leaves. Drying of betel leaf paste was conducted
in three different levels, i.e., 50, 70 and 80 °C, till the samples reached a
constant weight. The samples dried at 80 °C and 70 °C, showed the lowest
water activity 0.1, whereas the sample dried at 50 °C, showed the highest water
activity of 0.15. The values of protein, fat, crude fibre and ash were observed a
little higher in betel leaf powder dried at 70 °C, than in other drying
temperatures. This increase in the composition may be the result of higher dry
matter in dried powder and less drying time of paste and minimum degradation
in nutritional value at 70°C. However, the highest carbohydrate content was
observed in betel leaf powder dried at 50 °C. The alcoholic extract of the oven-
dried powder exhibited the DPPH radical scavenging activity (at 50 µg/mL) of
41.45, 46.32, and 44.35 at temperatures of 50, 70 and 80 °C respectively. The
amount of phenolic content in the ethanolic extract was found to be 307, 322,
and 316 mg/g in oven-dried betel leaf paste powder at 50, 70 and 80 °C
respectively.
