'Jayanti Agrihorti' is a superior chrysanthemum therefore rooted cuttings quality is required. In vitro propagation increases the rate of propagation and produces true-to-type plants. The research to obtain the best explants and culture medium composition that is capable of producing high-quality plants.  The research was arranged in a randomized complete block design consisting of two factors. The first factor was the explant, including the apical shoot of 0.5 cm, 1.0 cm, and the nodal segment. The second factor was in vitro culture medium composition (CP), consisting of  CP1 (Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium for initiation, followed by MS + 2.5 mg.L⁻¹ gibberellic acid (GA₃) for subculture), CP2 (MS + 0.25 mg.L⁻¹ benzyl amino purine (BAP) for initiation, followed by MS for subculture), CP3 (MS + 0.25 mg.L⁻¹ BAP for initiation, followed by MS + 2.5 mg.L⁻¹ GA₃ for subculture), and CP4 (MS + 0.5 mg.L⁻¹ BAP for initiation, followed by MS + 0.25 mg.L⁻¹ BAP for subculture). Acclimatization was performed after third subculture. The apical shoot size of 0.5−1.0 cm is optimum for producing chrysanthemum-rooted cuttings. Meanwhile, MS medium for initiation stage, followed by MS + 2.5 mg.L⁻¹ GA₃ for subculture is the best culture medium composition for in vitro propagation. This explant and culture medium composition produced higher chlorophyll a, b, and a+b content, thereby resulting in higher plant, more leaves, larger stem diameter, and longer root length.

Published: August 2024

Salinity is a major challenge in crop cultivation, but tolerant genotypes can adapt physiologically to cope with stress. A pot culture experiment conducted during the period of July 2021 to June 2022 at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, evaluated the impact of salt stress on eight chili genotypes at three salinity levels (T1=3 dS/m, T2=6 dS/m, T3=9 dS/m NaCl) compared to a control (T0=0 dS/m NaCl). Varieties and stress interaction were estimated based on agromorphogenic and physiological traits. Increasing salinity levels significantly reduced plant growth traits like height, number of branches, days to first flowering, and leaf area, as well as fruit traits such as length, girth, weight, and number per plant. Among the genotypes, G4 was highly tolerant to salinity, while G5 and G6 are recommended for mild to moderately saline prone areas.

Authors: Azam Mohd , Srivastava Rashi , Ahmed Tanzeel
Published: August 2024

Bacteriocins are proteins secreted by many species of bacteria to inhibit other bacteria, thus eliminating competitors to gain resources. Bacteria from the Lactobacillus group are known for their applications as probiotics and food preservatives. They have earned a reputation for producing substances that inhibit the growth of other microorganisms, which include organic acids, diacetyl, and bacteriocins. Produced by the ribosomes, bacteriocins are cationic proteins that inhibit other bacteria coexisting within a shared ecological habitat. Due to their potential uses in a variety of applications large-scale production of Bacteriocins would be necessary. The study aimed to identify and characterize Lactobacillus bacteria that produce potent bacteriocins and to analyze the antimicrobial activity and stability of the isolated bacteriocin under various physical and biochemical conditions. A total of 50 samples including buffalo dung, cheese, and rhizospheric region of plants were screened to isolate 8 Lactobacillus Li-1, Li-2, Li-3, Li-4, Li-5, Li-6, Li-7, and Li-8, confirmed by gram staining and other biochemical tests. The cell free supernatant from the Li-3 strain showed higher inhibition of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, as compared to the other isolated strains. Li-3 strain was further identified as Levilactobacillus brevis strain ABRIINW-K by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The bacteriocin isolated from this strain is a thermostable peptide (~6kDa), which is characteristic of class II bacteriocins, with potent antibacterial activity against Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella enterica.

Authors: Kanagaraj A
Published: August 2024

A multidisciplinary approach is typically required to address health issues effectively in medical emergencies. Traditional sensor-based diagnostics in healthcare, when applied on a large scale, demand numerous sensors and significant human intervention. To address these challenges, this research proposes an IoT-based healthcare application designed to streamline patient monitoring. The system is built around an online mobile application that enables continuous, wireless observation of patients' health. The primary objective is to develop a cost-effective solution that transmits vital patient parameters during emergencies. Sensors such as ECG monitors, heart rate sensors, and temperature sensors are employed to measure critical health indicators. The collected data is transmitted to the cloud via a microcontroller-connected module for storage on an IoT platform. In the cloud, the data is processed, and relevant feedback is generated, allowing doctors to assess the patient's condition remotely. This remote monitoring reduces the workload on healthcare professionals while ensuring accurate patient health assessments. In cases requiring urgent attention, alerts are sent to caregivers or doctors. This system aids in early intervention and enhances the quality of patient care. The proposed setup has been validated through simulations and various test experiments.

Published: August 2024

Objectives This study aims to explore the underlying personal and contextual factors influencing Chinese English majors’ ability to build and sustain agency in improving their oral English skills during a 16-week speaking course. By adopting an ecological perspective, the research seeks to identify how these factors serve as either resources or constraints to learner agency.
Methods The Qualitative case study was conducted during one full semester from March to June 2023. The researchers observed an English speaking course instructed by a Chinese female teacher. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and some related documents. Thematic analysis was used to identify the factors affecting the learners' agency in improving their oral English.
Results The findings revealed that (a) the students’ agency in improving their speaking skills was related to their past personal experiences; (b) strong self-efficacy belief is an important factor fostering learner agency in advancing their oral English, but the dominant exam-oriented educational tradition might hamper the oral English learning due to the time needed to prepare for exams; (c) the teachers’ feedback and mutual trust would stimulated students’ agency in enhancing their oral English; (d) learning resources and supportive school policy can contributed to the students' achievement of agency in developing their oral English; and (e) Aspirations involving academic and career goals may influence students' achievement of agency in boosting spoken English proficiency.
Conclusions This study demonstrated the complexity of factors affecting learner agency, thereby contributing empirical evidence to the chordal triad of agency from the ecological perspective. Moreover, recommendations are offered on how teachers can develop a more agency-supportive English speaking class.

Laryngeal Reinnervation as a Treatment Option for Permanent Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis
Authors: Lee Jeong Hyun , Park Ki Nam , Lee Seung Won
Published: August 2024

For unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) persisting beyond 6–12 months, laryngeal reinnervation provides neural input to maintain vocal fold bulk and tone while allowing gradual voice improvement over time. We report a 71-year-old male with recurrent hoarseness and aspiration despite prior vocal fold injection for idiopathic left UVFP. Ansa cervicalis-to-recurrent laryngeal nerve anastomosis resulted in progressive improvement of subjective and objective voice parameters over 12 months without complications. Laryngeal reinnervation centralized the paralyzed vocal fold, prevented atrophy, avoided inflammatory reactions from injected materials, and permitted future medialization procedures. This case demonstrates laryngeal reinnervation’s efficacy in carefully selected UVFP patients, achieving successful voice outcomes in an elderly individual.

austenitic steel AISI 304L. The operating principles of the sensors are
Barkhausen noise (MBN) and eddy currents (EC), which are suitable for
detection of microstructure evolution due to formation of ferromagnetic
phases. Nevertheless, the description of the calibration and
transformation models of the micromagnetic measurements into
quantitative α’-martensite fractions is beyond the scope of this paper.
The focus will be put on the qualification of different micromagnetic
methods as well as of different measurement systems under conditions
similar to the real ones during production, which is crucial for
implementation of a property-controlled flow forming process. The
investigation was carried out on tubular specimens produced by flow
forming, which have different content of α’-martensite. To characterize
the sensitivity of the sensors, different contact conditions between
sensors and workpieces were reproduced. MBN sensors are suitable for
detecting amount of α’-martensite, but the measurements are affected by
the surface roughness. This entails that the calibration models for MBN
sensors must take account of these effects. EC sensors show a closer
match with the amount of α’-martensite without having major affectation
by other effects.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate how serum uric acid (SUA) influences
the reproductive outcomes among women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(PCOS) undergoing freeze-all strategy. DESIGN: Retrospective
cohort study. Setting: Reproductive center in a tertiary
hospital in China. Population: 1115 women aged 20-40 years with
PCOS were included. Method: The entire population was
categorized into four groups based on SUA quartiles, logistic regression
analysis was conducted to determine odds ratios (ORs) for reproductive
and pregnancy complications, adjusting for potential confounders.
Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcome was live birth, defined
as the gestational age ≥28 weeks or weighing ≥ 1000 grams.
RESULTS: In quartiles of SUA levels, there was no significant
difference in the live birth rate from the lowest quartile (Q1: 57.9%)
to the highest (Q4: 56.6%) (adjusted OR 1.08, 95% CI, 0.74-1.57,
P=0.58). Similarly, SUA showed no significant effect on biochemical and
clinical pregnancy rate, or miscarriage rate (p>0.05). Women
in quartile 4 had added the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)
(adjusted OR 3.87, 95% CI 1.77-8.47), gestational hypertension (GH)
(adjusted OR 3.82, 95% CI 1.16-12.58) compared with quartile 1. Women
in quartile 4 also had an increased probability of preterm birth and low
birth weight（adjusted OR 2.24, 95% CI 0.90-5.59；adjusted OR 3.58,
95% CI 0.88-14.56, respectively). CONCLUSION: No significant
correlation was found between SUA and live birth in women with PCOS
undergoing freeze-all strategy. However, elevated SUA increased the risk
of GH, GDM and tended to increase the risk of preterm labor and LBWI.

Queuosine (Q) is a modification of the wobble base in tRNAs that decode
NAC codons. It is ubiquitous in bacteria, including many pathogens.
Streptococcus mutans is an early colonizer of dental plaque
biofilm and a key player in dental caries. Using a combination of
genetic and physiological approaches, the predicted Q synthesis and
salvage pathways were validated in this organism. These experiments
confirmed that S. mutans can synthesize Q de novo through
similar pathways found in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia
coli. However, S. mutans has a distinct salvage pathway compared
to these model organisms, as it uses a transporter belonging to the
Energy Coupling Factor (ECF) family controlled by a preQ
1-dependent riboswitch. Furthermore, Q levels in this
oral pathogen depended heavily on the media composition, suggesting that
micronutrients can affect Q-mediated translation efficiency.

As the first nation to experience a super-aging society, Japan’s response measures have various implications. To improve the oral health of the elderly, the Japanese central government, local governments, and the dental community collaborated in 1989 to launch the 8020 Campaign, aiming for individuals to maintain 20 teeth at 80. This campaign has yielded significant improvements in the oral health of the elderly. Initially, at the beginning of the 8020 campaign, only 7% of those aged 80 had 20 or more teeth, with an average of 4–5 teeth. By 2011, 22 years after its inception, the achievement rate increased significantly to 38.3% and reached 51.6% in 2016, exceeding the initial target of 50%. The fact that the 8020 campaign achievers improved their oral health and improved various systemic health indicators, including reductions in total mortality and noninfectious diseases, has been supported by various research findings. As a first step in applying Japan’s 8020 Campaign experience to Korea, we compared the rate of possessing 20 or more present teeth and the average number of present teeth among elderly individuals aged 75–79. In 2000, 30.4% of the Korean elderly individuals had 13.1 teeth on average, while for the Japanese elderly individuals (1999 data), it was 17.5% with an average of 9.0. However, this trend was reversed by 2011, with elderly Japanese surpassing Koreans in rate of retaining 20 or more teeth average number of teeth present. The most recent survey in 2022 showed that Japanese elderly individuals lead with a 55.8% rate of retaining 20 or more teeth and an average of 18.1 teeth, compared with Korean elderly individuals (2019 data) at 53.9% possession and 17.3 teeth on average, respectively. Based on Japan’s successful experience, Korea must collaborate with the central government and dental community to establish ambitious and concrete oral health goals and to sustain efforts to achieve them. This study provides policy insights into promoting oral health among older adults by analyzing and comparing the oral health status of older adults in Korea and Japan through Japan’s 8020 campaign.

The objective of our study was to investigate the genetic predictors of self-regulation and related characteristics indicative of a higher level of rational behavior control. The study 107 female participants aged between 22 and 52 years, with an average age of 33.5 years (Russian Federation). In order to measure level of self-regulation and other characteristics corresponding to a higher level of rational behavioral control the following psychological tests were employed: the “Differential Type of Reflection” questionnaire (Leontyev D.A.), the “Style of Self-Regulation of Behavior” questionnaire (Morosanova, Kholopova, 1995), and the Test of Life-Meaning Orientations (D.A. Leontyeva, 1988). Genotyping was use to examine polymorphisms of the COMT, DRD2 genes. Our findings demonstrate significant differences in the level of systemic reflection among carriers of different genotypes of the DRD2 and COMT genes. The highest level of systemic reflection in carriers of the CC genotype for the DRD2 gene and a heterozygous variant of the COMT gene suggests a balance between the elevated dopaminergic activity characteristic of the CC DRD2 genotype and moderate COMT activity, fostering optimal dopamine metabolism.

Introduction. The emergence of new vector-borne diseases necessitates the development of adequate medical regulations, prevention measures, rehabilitation programs, etc. Among all these measures, timeliness is the most crucial element, which cannot be achieved without reliable forecasting of the epidemic situation. In fact, the situation can deteriorate when two epidemics occur simultaneously, emphasizing the need for predicting the corresponding time intervals accurately. The aim of this study is to scientifically predict the periods when traditional influenza and  COVID-19 epidemics may overlap. 

Materials and Methods. The scientific research was based on the analysis of statistical data, which was processed using Fourier decomposition and autoregression techniques to study and predict various processes. The original mathematical model of COVID-19 dynamics was adjusted with new statistical data. The resulting scale-time and random characteristics of COVID-19 within the model were compared with known parameters of traditional influenza. 

Results. It was established that the dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic had a pronounced seasonal character with a frequency of three times a year. It was found that the method of forecasting COVID-19 incidence using Fourier decomposition was not reliable, but it allowed for a good description of the observed dynamics of the epidemic. Autoregressive analysis, on the other hand, was only suitable for short-term forecasting of coronavirus epidemics. The features of the two seasonal diseases, COVID-19 and influenza, have been compared, and the moments when their combined effects on a person would be particularly harmful have been predicted.

Discussion and Conclusion. All methods of mathematical analysis have convincingly demonstrated that the frequency of COVID-19 outbreaks occurs three times per year, while influenza occurs annually. During times when the activities of both viruses (coronavirus and influenza) coincide, special attention should be paid and measures taken to reduce the risk of contracting a seasonal viral infection, including through regular vaccination.
