Performance of tall fescue, cocksfoot and phalaris based pastures compared with perennial ryegrass, in on-farm trials
Authors: Moloney S.C.
Published: July 2020

Ryegrass monocultures and mixtures containing at least one or two other grass species were compared on three sites over 3-6 years. At Atiamuri, under intensive dairying, a tall fescue-cocksfoot pasture yielded 3.7 t/ha/yr, and 14 kg/ha/day in spring and 17 kg in summer, more than the mdnocuiture. Under dairying at Opiki, a phalaris-ryegrass mixture yielded 1.8 t/ha/yr, and 5 kg/ha/day in winter and 7 kg in autumn, more than the monoculture. At Castlepoint Station, a cocksfoot-tall fescue pasture yielded 1.4 t/ha/yr, and 11 kg/ha/day in summer, more than the monoculture. These pastures would more closely meet (or exceed) animal feed demands, so increasing gross farm income through increased animal performance and carrying capacity.

The ryegrass endophyte in a cool moist environment
Authors: Ryan J.P.J.Eerens D.L. , Miller K.B.
Published: July 2020

A field grazing experiment studying the impact of the ryegrass endophyte (Acremonium lolii) in a cool moist environment, was carried out at AgResearch regional station in Gore Southland. Four types of pasture were established, high (+E) and low (-E) endophyte ryegrass were sown with (+C) or without (-C) clover. The endophyte had no significant effect on the establishment of the pastures, neither did it affect total pasture production nor pasture composition. The presence of clover in pastures had a greater impact (30%) on animal production than did the presence of endophyte (6%). Mean daily weight gains over 3 years for lambs were 187,183,145 and 132 g/day for -E+C,+E+C, -E and +E respectively. Lambs grazing endophytic pasw genemlly had higher levels of dags. However, ryegrass staggers occurred only in the year with below average summer rainfall. Not all the conditions necessary to induce ryegrass staggers are therefore required to expose livestock to other deleterious effects of endophyte. A detailed study into the environmental requirements for the production of endophyte related toxins is required. The findings reported here significantly differ from findings in summer dry areas.

Forage potential of wild populations of perennial ryegrass collected from southern New Zealand farms
Authors: Widdup K.H. , Ryan D.L.
Published: July 2020

A ryegrass breeding programme to improve the cool season activity and summer quality of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L,) in southern regions was initiated in 1986. One of the strategies assessed wild ryegrass populations from 50 dairy and sheep farms in Southland, West Otago and Westland. The plants were collected and evaluated as spaced plants in a high and low fertility site at DSIR Grasslands Gore in comparison with current ryegrass cultivars. Principal Component Analysis was used to order the performance of the ryegrass populations in relation to the observed characters of seasonal growth, tillering, crown rust infection, recurrent ear emergence and endophyte presence. Ihe collection consisted of many short-leaved densely tillered prostrate plants with high levels of crown rust infection and recurrent flowering. In comparison the cultivars had fewer, but larger tillers, rapid leaf extension and good rust tolerance. There were no strong distinguishing features between plants from dairy and sheep farms and 30% of plants had no endophyte. Selected ecotypes hybridised with New Zealand and European cultivars produced plants with better cool season growth and summer quality than standard cultivars. The ecotype germplasm is an important source in the development of new cultivars suited to the southern region.

Management of poor quality pastures for maximum animal performance during summer
Authors: Morton J.D.
Published: July 2020

A trial was carried out near Greymouth on the west coast of the South Island in 1987 and 1988 to determine production responses of thin and fat ewes to two feeding treatments from weaning to mating. At weaning in early January, 192 three-year-old Perendale ewes were individually condition scored and allocated into two equal-sized groups of thin (mean condition score = 2.7, mean liveweight = 4 1.4 kg) and fat (mean condition score = 3.3, mean liveweight = 46.8 kg) ewes. From weaning to the start of mating in mid-April, each thin and fat ewe group were split evenly and grazed in a leader and follower system. The leader group was preferentially fed by having fust choice while the follower group had the second choice of pasture. The pasture was of low nutritive value because of a low content of ryegrass and white clover and a high content of unimproved grasses, dead material and weeds. Preferential feeding resulted in significant increases in liveweight (+4.5 kg for thin ewes, +5.1 kg for fat ewes) and condition (+0.26 condition score units for thin and fat ewes) compared with follow-up feeding. Increases in ovulation rate at the start of mating from preferential compared with follow-up feeding were higher for thin (1.35 vs 1.01) compared with fat (1.44 vs 1.21) ewes. There was little difference in the response in wool production to preferential feeding for thin (1 .O 1 vs 0.82 kg/ewe) compared with fat (1.11 vs 0.91 kg/ ewe). Preferential feeding of thin ewes and the use of fat ewes to follow-up and clean out pastures from weaning to mating reduced the range of ewe liveweight at mating (42-54 kg) compared with grazing thin and fat ewes in a follow-up role (36-60 kg). This would help standardise individual ewe feed requirements and allow ewes to be grazed in one mob during autumn and winter. Preferential feeding of thin ewes from weaning to mating was tested on twocommercial sheep farms and resulted in similar changes in ewe liveweight and condition as found in this reported trial.

Conversion of an eastern Southland sheep farm to factory supply dairy pasture: changes and implications for production
Authors: Kleyngeld Matt and Irene
Published: July 2020

The Kleyngelds sharemilk a 135 hectare dairy farmm for Tasman Agricultme, converted from sheep in 1990. 350 cows are wintered with total production being 41 800 kg milkfat (90/W), 54 000 kg (91/92), and projected 92/93,57 000 kg. One third of the farm is in newer ryegrass/clover, the remaining mainly browntop. Grass grown and grazed is recorded, so paddock performance can be monitored. The major result is variation in growth, 1 l- 3 tonnes/DM. A grazing round of approximately 26 days suits all pastures for best performance. A balance is created between under- andovergrazing. Pasture is grazed to a base level of 1400 kg/ha/DM, to ensure quick regrowth but no loss of quality. Regrassing is the major emphasis -- approximately lo-20 hectares are done a season. Ryegrasses and clover are used at 23 kg/ha. Pasture is sprayed and direct drilled with care taken in grazing for first season. Fertiliser complements regrassing. Over the last two years 400 kg/ha 15% potassic super was applied, this season 600 kg/ha were applied. Nitrogen is used strategically from.late winter to autumn according to soil temperature over the whole farm. There are flow on effects through winter and early spring. Limiting factors to conversion are management, fertility and grasses. Planning is needed to utilise resources for best returns.

High quality pasture feed for southern New Zealand - a consequence of cultivar choice and their subsequent management
Authors: Turner J.D.
Published: July 2020

High quality pasture feed is a direct consequence of species/cultivar choice and subsequent management. The pasture mixture must be selected according to the environment in which they are to grow, end use and speed of establishment. Important establishment factors are seedingrate, seedbed preparation, sowing time and soil nutrient status. Once established, correct grazing management and maintenance will ensure longevity of pasture life and continued availability of high quality animal feed.

Response to re-application of phosphate fertilisers on hill pasture where fertiliser had been withheld for seven years
Authors: Ledgard S.F. , Brier G.J.
Published: July 2020

A field experiment at the AgResearch Te Kuiti Research Area examined effects of re-application of phosphorus (P) fertilisers on production and composition of hill pastures (1520% slope) which had received no P for 7 years. Treatments were 0, 20, 40 and 80 kg P/ha/year as single superphosphate (SSP) or North Carolina reactive phosphate rock (RPR). The soil was a yellowbrown earth/yellow-brown loam intergrade with Olsen P 9. Re-application of P produced a rapid and large increase in pasture production of up to 42 and 61% in years 1 and 2, respectively, and brought production up to 95% of that measured in neighbouring regularly fertilised paddocks. The pasture response to RPR was less (PcO.01) than that to SSP in both years, particularly at the highest rate. This indicated that RPR was less suitable for capital application. The P response was due almost entirely to an increase in white clover growth, and N, fixation was estimated to increase from 30 to 130 kg N/ha/year. In year 2, there was an increase in ryegrass content of pasture receiving the high P rate and this was attributed to increased nitrogen availability due to increased N, fixation.

Evaluation of nitrate fertilisers as nitrogen sources for spring pasture
Authors: Craighead M.D. , Hayward J.A. , Howie A.M.
Published: July 2020

Since 1994 Ravensdown have carried out a series of pastoral trials in South Canterbury, aimed at looking at the relative effectiveness of different forms of nitrogen in the spring. These trials showed that in general those N products containing some nitrate-N (i.e., calcium ammonium nitrate - CAN, and ammonium sulphate nitrate - ASN) could be more effective than urea and ammonium sulphate when soil temperatures were low. However, responses were inconsistent because of spring climatic conditions. In 1994 and 1996 CAN produced the most dry matter but in 1995, responses to the form of N were less clear. Responses to nitrate-N were generally best when spring soil temperatures were 3-5°C at the time of application. The magnitude of N responses varied with the rate applied, and the type of pasture to which N was applied. Responses generally lasted the equivalent of two to three grazings.

Published: July 2020

Historically farmers made little distinction between farming for product or farming to maintain the physical resources for future generations but now have to demonstrate the latter. With this challenge, Federated Farmers, AgResearch, Livestock Improvement Corporation and Environment Waikato initiated study groups in the Waikato, linking farmers, scientists and policy agents. A case study of pugging (stock treading) management is used to demonstrate the group participatory process. The key stages in the group's development over time are explained. Throughout these stages, exchange of principles, experiences, ideas and data about pugging were aligned to the group's needs. Management guidelines to minimise pugging damage in both winter and spring were identified. The economic impact of pugging damage to paddocks was analysed at the farm level using UDDER. A comparative discussion of the group process compares the experiences of participants with published claims about study groups. Discussion of the group process calls for the need to develop methods for analysing group process.

Effects of nitrogen and irrigation on productivity of different ryegrass ecotypes when grazed by dairy cows
Authors: Bahmani I. , Thom E.R. , Matthew C.
Published: July 2020

The responses of two perennial ryegrass cultivars, Ellett and Grasslands Ruanui, to nitrogen fertiliser and irrigation, applied before and after flowering, were studied in a field experiment at the Dairying Research Corporation, Ruakura. The former was included as representative of the Mangere perennial ryegrass ecotype, and the latter as representative of older material. Data on herbage accumulation, tiller density and tiller weight were collected, before and after grazing by dairy cows, from September 1996. Nitrogen increased summer herbage accumulation and tiller density by 41% and 37%, respectively. Irrigation increased ryegrass yield by 21% in summer but effects on tiller density and weight were small and inconsistent. No significant effects of nitrogen fertiliser or irrigation treatments on herbage accumulation, tiller density, or tiller weight were observed in spring. Ellett swards produced 5390 kg DM/ha over the trial period, compared with 4450 kg DM/ ha for Grasslands Ruanui, although this difference was not statistically significant. However, Ellett had a larger mean tiller weight and a lower tiller density than Ruanui. The contrasting tiller size/ density characteristics of the two cultivars are quantified and discussed.

Published: July 2020

Application of copper-amended fertiliser ("topdressing") increases pasture herbage Cu concentration and can increase dietary Cu intake of grazing ruminants. Animal responses to dietary Cu, in terms of changing blood and liver Cu concentrations monitored throughout the season, have not been well documented. In this study 10 experimental paddocks were topdressed with 0 (Control), 0.4 (Low) or 4.0 (High) kg Cu/ha as CuSO4.5H2O, resulting in mean herbage Cu concentrations of 8, 13 and 41 mg Cu/kg DM, respectively. The treated pastures were significantly greater than controls for at least 100 days. Romney lambs of low but not deficient initial Cu status grazing the Cu-treated paddocks for 176 days had increased Cu intake compared with controls, resulting in substantial accumulation of Cu in liver. Maximum liver Cu concentration occurred after 99 days, when the levels in low- and high-treated sheep were 3 to 12 times greater than controls (900 to 3270 vs 270 mg Cu/kg fresh tissue). No changes in blood plasma Cu concentration were observed. A predictive relationship between pasture Cu and liver Cu concentrations of grazing lambs was determined, and recommendations for sheep Cu supplementation via Cu topdressing are made.

A preliminary cost-benefit analysis for inclusion of caucasian clover in new dairy pasture
Authors: Taylor G.H. , Watson R.N.
Published: July 2020

In a coastal Bay of Plenty trial, ryegrass pasture containing the rhizomatous legume caucasian clover (CC), provided advantages from late spring to autumn in total herbage yield and legume content in the 2nd to 4th years, compared with a ryegrass- white clover pasture. Sub-optimal pasture supply and quality, in summer and autumn especially, can limit seasonal milk production potential. Thus, greater milk yield from pasture which includes CC can be derived from greater dry matter on offer to cows, and also through improved forage quality afforded by increased legume content. CC is slower to establish than white clover (WC) and may be favoured by spring rather than autumn sowing. The extra costs for successfully establishing CC in pasture and the milk yield potential from greater herbage yields and legume content were used to determine the level and rate of economic benefit from its inclusion in dairy pasture. Depending on the assumptions made, CC was calculated to recover net establishment costs in the 4th year, with a net present value over 10 years of $789, or a 35% internal rate of return. At this level of return use of CC in pasture renewal would be an attractive longerterm option. A number of considerations, which need to be taken into account, include as yet unestablished benefits for CC on heavier or moister soils which are less compromising to WC persistence, the slow establishment of CC, the effects of different methods of establishment and longer-term effects of pasture pests on its performance potential.

Taking Authorial Stance in Arabic Research Articles Introductions
Authors: S. Alotaibi Hmoud
Published: July 2020

This study examines the linguistic resources employed by Arab academic researchers to realize the interpersonal values when introducing their research topics. It also investigates how the linguistic resources interact with the rhetorical move functions to formulate the features of effective authorial stance. Specifically, the study focuses on how the interplay of engagement resources and rhetorical move functions persuasively serves the overall argumentative writing expected in academic context. To this end, the study draws on the engagement system by Martin and White (2005) and the move structure in the CARS model by Swales (1990). The data consisted of 20 Arabic RA introductions drawn from two established journals in the field of education. The results showed an evident relation between the meanings conceived in rhetorical moves and authorial stances. The authorial stances were highly interpersonal and dialogic as most of propositions displayed linguistic features pertaining to heterogloss. Furthermore, writers tended to take assertive stance when reporting previous research findings by drawing heavily on Proclaim options, but when creating research gaps, they relied on Disclaim options. When theorizing for their studies, they, however, seemed to claim sharing views with readers through notable employment of Attribute resources. These results may raise writers' awareness of the relationship between authorial stance-taking and rhetorical move purposes, and how that is crucial for the formulation of persuasive argument endeavored in academic writing..

Breastfeeding is a physiological process to provide optimal nutrition for babies and one of the first steps for humans to have a healthy and prosperous life. The low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding is still a big problem for the State of Indonesia. There are several ways that can be done to increase exclusive breastfeeding, one of which is health education. The use of video as a means of education is now starting to be developed in line with current technological advances. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of exclusive breastfeeding counseling with audio visual on the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women in the work area of Singgani Health Center. This research is a pre-experimental study with the design of one group pretest-posttest. The number of samples is 33 respondents. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. The analysis used in this study was the Wilcoxon test. The results of the univariate analysis of data on pretest knowledge with good categories were 24 people (72.7%) and the poor categories were 9 people (27.3%) Knowledge of posttest with good categories as many as 21 people (63.6%) were less than 12 people (36.4%). The pretest attitude in the good category was 16 people (48.4%), the poor category was 17 people (51.6%). The posttest attitude in the good category was 21 people (63.6%) in the poor category of 12 people (36.4%). The results of the bivariate analysis of the knowledge of the pretest posttest knowledge (p-value 0.002). The posttest pretest attitude (p-value 0.363. The conclusion shows that there is the influence of exclusive breastfeeding counseling with video media on the knowledge of pregnant women in the Singgani Health. There is no effect of exclusive breastfeeding counseling with audio visual on the attitudes of pregnant women in the Singgani Health Center. The suggestion is that midwives are expected to further increase the use of increasingly developing technology, one of which is the use of audio visual to provide counseling

Preeclampsia is one of the direct causes of maternal death, the incidence of preeclampsia initially does not provide symptoms and signs, but at one time it can deteriorate rapidly, so it needs a series of examinations, detection, and identification of risk factors and controls so that it is possible to do complex primary prevention. This disease is closely related to the factors of age, parity and history of hypertension, so the alertness of pregnant women and their families in early detection of complications of pregnancy plays an important role. This study aims to determine the effect of health education about pre-eclampsia on knowledge, attitudes, and preparation for coping with labor complications in pregnant women in the health center of Tapos Depok sub-district in 2017. This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and posttest design. The sample in this study were pregnant women who examined their pregnancies at the Tapos Sub-District Health Center at the time of data collection as many as 60 respondents who were divided into two groups and taken by accidental sampling. Respondents were divided into 2 groups, namely those who were given health education with leaflet and multimedia media. Data analysis was done by univariate and bivariate with Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests. The results showed that there was an effect of health education about pre-eclampsia on the increase in knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women, but did not affect the preparation of pregnant women in preparation for complications of labor. Health education using multimedia is more able to increase respondents' knowledge and attitudes about pre-eclampsia compared to health education with leaflet media

Early Initiation of Breastfeeding can prevent infant mortality, especially in developing countries. IMD practices can prevent 22% of newborn mortality. One of the reasons mothers do not give IMD is the absence of breast milk and the amount of breast milk that is considered lacking, so the mother gives formula milk. Mothers don't take care of joining because they don't breathe spontaneously and hypothermia. The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of early breastfeeding initiation and care to join with the production of breast milk at post partum at the Anutapura General Hospital in Palu. The method is analytic with a cross sectional approach. The population and samples in this study were post partum at Anutapura Palu Hospital at the time of the study, which amounted to 96 people, with a purposive sampling technique. The analysis used in this study used fisher exact statistical tests. The results showed that of 96 IMD respondents as many as 75 respondents (78.1%), and not IMD as many as 21 respondents (21.9). Mothers who did join care were 76 respondents (79.2%), and mothers who did not take care of as many as 20 respondents (20.8). "Fisher's exact test" test results p value: 0,000 (p value ≤ 0.05). Adequate ASI production was 77 respondents (80.2%), and inadequate ASI production was 19 respondents (19.8). Fisher's exact test results p value: 0,000 (p value ≤ 0,05). The conclusion is that there is a relationship between early breastfeeding initiation and admission to joining breast milk production at post partum. Suggestions are expected for midwives at Anutapura Hospital in Palu City to further improve counseling about the importance of Early Breastfeeding Initiation and the importance of nursing care for mothers and babies.

Fibroadenoma is the most benign breast neoplasm. These tumors grow in young women with the highest frequency in young women 21-25 years, with a prevalence of more than 9% of the female population affected by fibroadenoma. Breast cancer still has a high likelihood of being cured when it comes to early or early. Early detection of breast cancer is an examination program to recognize breast cancer while still small, and before cancer has a chance to spread. One of the early detection efforts is clinical breast examination (SADANIS) which is carried out at least once every 3 years or if abnormalities are found in the process of self-breast examination (BSE) and carried out by trained health workers. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between knowledge and early detection of breast cancer risk in young women through the SADANIS examination. Observational research method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample is a student of SMK 1 Palu and a student of AKBID Cendrawasih Palu. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge about the SADANIS examination and the practice of SADANIS examination in young women so there is a strong relationship between young women's knowledge BSE in early detection of breast cancer as evidenced by the p-value 0.007<α (0.05). The conclusion is that the knowledge of young women about sadanis examination is still low.

The Effect on Room Acoustical Parameters Using a Combination of Absorbers and Diffusers—An Experimental Study in a Classroom
Authors: Arvidsson Emma , Nilsson Erling , Hagberg Delphine Bard , Karlsson Ola J. I.
Published: July 2020

Several room acoustic parameters have to be considered in ordinary public rooms, such as offices and classrooms, in order to present the actual conditions, thus increasing demands on the acoustic treatment. The most common acoustical treatment in ordinary rooms is a suspended absorbent ceiling. Due to the non-uniform distribution of the absorbent material, the classical diffuse field assumption is not fulfilled in such cases. Further, the sound scattering effect of non-absorbing objects such as furniture are considerable in these types of rooms. Even the directional characteristic of the sound scattering objects are of importance. The sound decay curve in rooms with absorbent ceilings often demonstrate a double slope. Thus, it is not possible to use reverberation time as room parameter as a representative standalone acoustic measure. An evaluation that captures the true room acoustical conditions therefore needs supplementary parameters. The aim of this experimental study is to show how various acoustical treatments affect reverberation time T20, speech clarity C50 and sound strength G. The experiment was performed in a mock-up of a classroom. The results demonstrated how absorbers, diffusers and scattering objects influence room acoustical parameters. It is shown that to some extent the parameters can be adjusted individually by using different treatments or combination of treatments. This allows for the fine-tuning of the acoustical conditions, in order to fulfill the requirements for achieving a high-quality sound environment.
Welfare Assessment for Captive Anseriformes: A Guide for Practitioners and Animal Keepers
Authors: Rose Paul , O’Brien Michelle
Published: July 2020

Welfare assessment is a tool to both identify welfare challenges and to evidence where current husbandry practices support positive welfare outcomes. Such tools are becoming more available and can be amended based on the nature of the facility and needs of taxonomic groups. Currently, welfare assessment has a strong mammalian theme, and some behavioural measures of welfare commonly applied to mammals do not translate well for other taxa. This paper provides a method for welfare assessment of Anseriformes; widely housed, diverse bird species kept under a range of management styles. A mixture of resource-based (i.e., determination of aspects of the physical environment or the bird’s physical appearance or activity) and animal-based (i.e., observations that equate to a bird’s feelings or personality characteristics) measures are integrated to enable a full review of potential predictors of welfare. The method provides a rapid and valid way for all personnel to collect information that evaluates quality-of-life experiences of the Anseriformes under their care. Explanations of key terminology are provided to enable repeatable and reliable assessment for all persons using the tool. Suggestions for follow-up actions are provided to emphasise why the welfare assessment process needs to be one of continual re-evaluation of animal care.

In human medicine, “sudden death” has been defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a non-violent, unexpected death occurring less than 24 h from the onset of symptoms. The aims of this study were: (1) to estimate the proportional mortality ratio for “sudden and unexpected death” (SUD) in young dogs; (2) to investigate the pathological and microbiological findings in SUD cases in young dogs. For these purposes, a retrospective study of a total of 145 cases of young dead dogs was performed. For each case, we collected information about the age, medical history and the gross and microbiological findings of the animals. The results of this study found 21 cases of SUD. The most frequently observed clinical symptoms in the cases of sudden death were acute respiratory symptoms, followed by acute gastroenteric symptoms, non-specific symptoms and neurological symptoms. The evaluation of necropsy reports allowed us to observe enteritis in 18 out of 21 cases and pneumonia in seven out of 21 cases. Viral infection with Canine parvovirus type 2 was the most common cause of SUD observed. These results could provide a valuable tool for the investigation of sudden death in young dogs.
SMT Assembly Inspection Using Dual-Stream Convolutional Networks and Two Solder Regions
Authors: Kim Young-Gyu , Park Tae-Hyoung
Published: July 2020

The automated optical inspection of a surface mount technology line inspects a printed circuit board for quality assurance, and subsequently classifies the chip assembly defects. However, it is difficult to improve the accuracy of previous defect classification methods using full chip component images with single-stream convolutional neural networks due to interference elements such as silk lines included in a printed circuit board image. This paper proposes a late-merge dual-stream convolutional neural network to increase the classification accuracy. Two solder regions are extracted from a printed circuit board image and are input to a convolutional neural network with a merge stage. A new convolutional neural network structure is then proposed that is able to classify for defects. Since defect features are concentrated in solder regions, the classification accuracy is increased. In addition, the network weight is reduced due to a reduction of the input data. Experimental results for the proposed method show a 5.3% higher performance in F1-score than a single-stream convolutional neural network based on full chip component images.

Egypt experiences high rates of air pollution, which is a major threat to human health and the eco-environment and therefore needs to be tackled by defining major causes to hinder or mitigate their impacts. The major driving forces of air pollution are either of local and/or regional origin. In addition, seasonal aerosols may be natural, such as dust particles transported from the western desert, or anthropogenic aerosols which are transported from industrial areas and smoke particles from seasonal biomass burning. Monitoring the optical properties of aerosols and their pattern in the atmosphere on a daily basis requires a robust source of information and professional analytical tools. This research explored the potential of using time series of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) data to comprehensively investigate the aerosol optical depth (AOD) and variability for the period 2012–2018 on a daily basis. The data show that spring, summer and autumn seasons experienced the highest anomaly originating from regional and national sources. The high AOD in spring associated with a low Ångström exponent (AE) indicates the presence of coarse particles which naturally originate from desert dust or sea spray. In contrast, the high AE in summer and autumn demonstrated the dominance of fine anthropogenic aerosols such as smoke particles from local biomass burning. The observation of a high number of fire incidents over Egypt in October and November 2018, during the months of rice crop harvesting, showed that these incidents contribute to the presence of autumn aerosols across the country. In-situ measurements of Particulate Matter (PM10) from local stations from an environmental based network as well as the AERONET AOD were used to validate the MODIS AOD, providing a high correlation coefficient of r = 0.73.

The human retroviral-like aspartic protease 1 (ASPRV1) is a mammalian retroviral-like enzyme that catalyzes a critical proteolytic step during epidermal differentiation; therefore, it is also referred to as skin-specific aspartic protease (SASPase). Neutrophil granulocytes were also found recently to express ASPRV1 that is involved in the progression of acute chronic inflammation of the central nervous system, especially in autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Thus, investigation of ASPRV1 is important due to its therapeutic or diagnostic potential. We investigated the structural characteristics of ASPRV1 by homology modeling; analysis of the proposed structure was used for interpretation of in vitro specificity studies. For in-vitro characterization, activities of SASP28 and SASP14 enzyme forms were measured using synthetic oligopeptide substrates. We demonstrated that self-processing of SASP28 precursor causes autoactivation of the protease. The highest activity was measured for GST-SASP14 at neutral pH and at high ionic strength, and we proved that pepstatin A and acetyl-pepstatin can also inhibit the protease. In agreement with the structural characteristics, the relatively lower urea dissociation constant implied lower dimer stability of SASP14 compared to that of HIV-1 protease. The obtained structural and biochemical characteristics support better understanding of ASPRV1 function in the skin and central nervous system.

Radiomics is an emerging field of image analysis with potential applications in patient risk stratification. This study developed and evaluated machine learning models using quantitative radiomic features extracted from multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to detect and classify prostate cancer (PCa). In total, 191 patients that underwent prostatic mpMRI and combined targeted and systematic fusion biopsy were retrospectively included. Segmentations of the whole prostate glands and index lesions were performed manually in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps and T2-weighted MRI. Radiomic features were extracted from regions corresponding to the whole prostate gland and index lesion. The best performing combination of feature setup and classifier was selected to compare its predictive ability of the radiologist’s evaluation (PI-RADS), mean ADC, prostate specific antigen density (PSAD) and digital rectal examination (DRE) using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Models were evaluated using repeated 5-fold cross-validation and a separate independent test cohort. In the test cohort, an ensemble model combining a radiomics model, with models for PI-RADS, PSAD and DRE achieved high predictive AUCs for the differentiation of (i) malignant from benign prostatic lesions (AUC = 0.889) and of (ii) clinically significant (csPCa) from clinically insignificant PCa (cisPCa) (AUC = 0.844). Our combined model was numerically superior to PI-RADS for cancer detection (AUC = 0.779; p = 0.054) as well as for clinical significance prediction (AUC = 0.688; p = 0.209) and showed a significantly better performance compared to mADC for csPCa prediction (AUC = 0.571; p = 0.022). In our study, radiomics accurately characterizes prostatic index lesions and shows performance comparable to radiologists for PCa characterization. Quantitative image data represent a potential biomarker, which, when combined with PI-RADS, PSAD and DRE, predicts csPCa more accurately than mADC. Prognostic machine learning models could assist in csPCa detection and patient selection for MRI-guided biopsy.

There are many known endocrine complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in childhood including increased risk of biochemical hypogonadism. However, little is known about sexuality in adulthood following childhood HSCT. In this multicenter study, sexual functions and possible risk factors were assessed comprehensively in two national cohorts (Finland and Denmark) of male adult survivors of childhood HSCT. Compared to a healthy control group (n = 56), HSCT survivors (n = 97) reported less sexual fantasies, poorer orgasms, lower sexual activity with a partner and reduced satisfaction with their sex life, even in the presence of normal erectile functions and a similar frequency of autoerotic acts. Of the HSCT survivors, 35% were cohabitating/married and 66% were sexually active. Risk factors for poorer self-reported sexual functions were partner status (not cohabitating with a partner), depressive symptoms, CNS and testicular irradiation. Sexual dysfunction increased by age in the HSCT group with a pace comparable to that of the control group. However, because of the lower baseline level of sexual functions in the HSCT group, they will reach the level of clinically significant dysfunction at a younger age. Hence, male survivors of childhood HSCT should be interviewed in detail about their sexual health beyond erectile functions.
