Plant breeding programs have used conventional breeding methods, such as hybridization, induced mutations, and other methods to manipulate the plant genome within the species' natural genetic boundaries to improve crop varieties. However, repeatedly using conventional breeding methods might lead to the erosion of the gene reservoir, thereby rendering crops vulnerable to environmental stresses and hampering future progress in crop production, food and nutritional security, and socio-economic benefits. Integrating innovative technologies in breeding programs to accelerate gene flow is critical for sustaining global plant production. Genomic prediction is a promising tool to assist the rapid selection of premiere genotypes and accelerate breeding gains for climate-resilient plant varieties. This review surveys the annals and principles of genomic-enabled prediction. Based on the problem that is investigated through the prediction, as well as several other factors, such as trait heritability, the relationship between the individuals to be predicted and those used to train the models for prediction, the number of markers, sample size, and the interaction between genotype and environment, different levels of accuracy have been reported. Genomic prediction might play a decisive role and facilitate gene flow from gene bank accessions to elite lines in future breeding programs.
User-Centered System Design for Communicating Clinical Laboratory Test Results: Design and Evaluation Study
Authors: Zhang Zhan , Kmoth Lukas , Luo Xiao , He Zhe
Published: September 2021

Background

Personal clinical data, such as laboratory test results, are increasingly being made available to patients via patient portals. However, laboratory test results are presented in a way that is difficult for patients to interpret and use. Furthermore, the indications of laboratory test results may vary among patients with different characteristics and from different medical contexts. To date, little is known about how to design patient-centered technology to facilitate the interpretation of laboratory test results.

Objective

The aim of this study is to explore design considerations for supporting patient-centered communication and comprehension of laboratory test results, as well as discussions between patients and health care providers.

Methods

We conducted a user-centered, multicomponent design research consisting of user studies, an iterative prototype design, and pilot user evaluations, to explore design concepts and considerations that are useful for supporting patients in not only viewing but also interpreting and acting upon laboratory test results.

Results

The user study results informed the iterative design of a system prototype, which had several interactive features: using graphical representations and clear takeaway messages to convey the concerning nature of the results; enabling users to annotate laboratory test reports; clarifying medical jargon using nontechnical verbiage and allowing users to interact with the medical terms (eg, saving, favoriting, or sorting); and providing pertinent and reliable information to help patients comprehend test results within their medical context. The results of a pilot user evaluation with 8 patients showed that the new patient-facing system was perceived as useful in not only presenting laboratory test results to patients in a meaningful way but also facilitating in situ patient-provider interactions.

Conclusions

We draw on our findings to discuss design implications for supporting patient-centered communication of laboratory test results and how to make technology support informative, trustworthy, and empathetic.

Fever, rashes, swelling, and hematologic abnormalities, particularly short-term or long-term injury to one or more organs, have been reported by over 0.4 percent of patients following the course of medicine. Here, a 54-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with complaints of fever, purpuric rashes over the body with itching mainly in the oral cavity and lips, and the extent to the upper back and lower limbs for three days. She had known complaints of Type 2 Diabetes, Systemic hypertension, Coronary artery disease with recent NSTEMI, Dyslipidaemia, Psychosis (20y), and Chronic kidney disease. She had been taking Allopurinol for the past three months for hyperuricemia. Allopurinol treatment stopped while topical Steroid treatment started along with supportive therapy. After ten days, the rashes improved significantly, allowing her to leave the hospital.
ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS AMONG DRUG-RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS TREATMENT: AN OBSERVATIONAL COHORT STUDY
Authors: BABU LEYA P. , ROBIN NIMMY , BABU JOHNSON V. , JOSE JOICY , GEORGE SHAJI
Published: September 2021

Objective: Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is regarded as one of the major challenges in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB). It can lead to non-compliance or interrupting treatment completion, which can contribute to avoidable morbidity, drug resistance, treatment failure, reduced quality of life, or mortality.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in the Ernakulam district of Kerala from 2016 to 2019. All DR-TB patients registered under the DR-TB center were enrolled in the study. Due to privacy and confidentiality HIV infected patients and patients below 12 y of age were excluded in this study and only the data with ADR reported by patients is collected from medical records.
Results: Out of the total 146 patients, about 75 % of patients experienced at least one ADR during treatment, and a total of 208 ADRs were reported. Among all the ADRs, the most common ADR was gastritis (12.98%) followed by ototoxicity (10%) and vomiting (5.76%), etc. It was found that males (78.76%) within the age group 46-65 y exhibited more ADR than females. Some of the ADR requires drug withdrawal and replacement with other drugs and most of the patients also needed symptomatic treatment without modifying the treatment regimen. All ADR reported were collected and causality assessment was done via WHO and Naranjo scale. The majority of ADR belongs to the “probable” category in the WHO scale and Naranjo scale. The evaluation of the severity of ADR by using the Modified Hartwig and Siegel scale indicated that most of the ADR was of moderate level showing a 4b reaction. The study also assessed the preventability of ADR using the Schumock and Thornton preventability scale.
Conclusion: Many of the ADRs were unidentified or not reported due to several reasons like milder ADR, patient lack of knowledge, Negligence of symptoms, unawareness of health providers, etc. Whereas the long-term treatment and diversities in age, gender, etc. were found as major contributors to ADR along with comorbidities. New drugs in combination with existing drugs created the potential for previously unnotified reactions. Pharmacovigilance should address the safety of therapy and identify ADRs, especially the serious ones with routine monitoring to prevent mortality, morbidity, and other negative outcomes.

Authors: Abraham Melvin
Published: September 2021

Abstract: A bike frame is also a non-standard structural component of a motorcycle linking various components of the vehicle systems and providing the vehicle rigidity and strength while running on various road conditions. This study is geared toward designing the frame of a two-wheeler, two-seater motorcycle for an electrical mobility purpose, while considering strength, safety and optimum performance of the vehicle. The said study has been allotted with a two-step approach. the first step includes modelling of the frame as per structural and ergonomic considerations, the design constraints governed by the front and rear suspension, steering and transmission systems and assemblies further because the determination of loads functioning on the frame. The second step is that the strain analysis using finite element analysis software and magnificence modifications for weight reduction without affecting structural strength. The main aim was to cut back the burden, centralize the load and lower the burden of the frame. Thus, the metal tubes were divided into primary, secondary and tertiary members supported the tube diameters and thicknesses so on reduce the final weight of the frame without affecting its strength. The centre of gravity of the frame is below the rider way thus ensuring an occasional and centralized frame weight. The trusses not only provide strength and rigidity but also safety of the actuation and essential vehicle components against impacts. The chassis is additionally a skeleton upon which parts like battery and motor are mounted. The two-wheeler chassis consists of a frame, suspension, wheels and brakes. The chassis is what truly sets the sort of the twowheeler. Commonly used material for two- wheeler chassis is steel which is heavy in weight or more accurately in density. There are various alternate materials like aluminium alloys, titanium, carbon fibre, magnesium, etc. which are lesser in weight and provide high strength and thus are often used for chassis.

Psychological empowerment increases retention intention among Chinese kindergarten teachers: A moderated mediation model
Authors: Ma Lina , Zhou Fusheng
Published: September 2021

We conducted a survey with 554 kindergarten teachers in China to explore the relationship between psychological empowerment and retention intention, along with the mediating role of psychological capital and the moderating role of professional emotion. The results show that psychological
empowerment had a positive effect on retention intention through the mediating effect of psychological capital. Additionally, professional emotion significantly moderated the effects of psychological capital on retention intention. Thus, we confirmed that psychological capital mediated the
effects of psychological empowerment on retention intention and that professional emotion moderated the second half of this mediation process. The results of our study have theoretical and practical significance for proposing intervention measures to improve the retention intention of kindergarten
teachers.
Public service motivation and proactive behavioral responses to change: A three-way interaction
Authors: Sun Si-Rui
Published: September 2021

I applied person–organization fit theory to examine the conditional effect of public service motivation on turnover intention and responsible behavior, as two types of change-related proactive behavioral responses. Respondents were 462 public sector employees. The results show
there was an association between public service motivation, and turnover intention and responsible behavior, but affective commitment to change did not moderate these relationships. However, employment relationship and affective commitment to change had a joint negative moderating effect in
the public service motivation–turnover intention relationship, such that temporary (vs. permanent) public sector employees with low affective commitment to change and low public service motivation were more likely to have high turnover intention during public sector reform. My results
provide a theoretical and practical reference for the selection of public sector employees with characteristics that will ensure public sector change success.
Thriving in adversity: Do life skills programs work for developing world children? A pragmatic randomized controlled trial
Authors: Pearson David , Kennedy Fiona Clare , Talreja Vishal , Bhat Suchetha , Newman-Taylor Katherine
Published: September 2021

The severe adversity experienced by millions of children in the developing world leads to failure to thrive associated with cognitive deficits, emotional management problems, and social impairment. In this pragmatic randomized controlled trial, 909 children (aged 8–15 years) in
India with disadvantaged backgrounds took part in a semistructured program involving sports or creative arts activities. The Life Skills Assessment Scale was used to assess the children's life skills before and after taking part in the program. Children who took part in the program showed
significant increases in life skills following participation, compared to a control group. This study demonstrates the impact of simple, low-budget programs on cognitive, emotional, and social life skills that are typically delayed by severe adversity. The findings have clear implications
for children in other adverse environments, such as conflict zones and settlements for displaced children resulting from war, natural disasters, and emergency events.
Thriving in adversity: Do brief milieu interventions work for young adults in the developing world? A pragmatic randomized controlled trial
Authors: Pearson David , Kennedy Fiona Clare , Bhat Suchetha , Talreja Vishal , Newman-Taylor Katherine
Published: September 2021

Adolescence may be a window of opportunity to attenuate the effects of early social adversity, which impedes cognitive, emotional, and social development, and increases risk of psychopathology into adulthood. We ran a pragmatic randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of a brief
intervention designed to facilitate life skills for psychosocial competence. Socially disadvantaged young people living in South India who had experienced early adversity (N = 645; age range = 17–22 years) participated in the intervention or were assigned to a wait-list control
group. The intervention led to large differences in life skills between the two groups. This brief, scalable intervention can be made available to address the impact of early social adversity on young people's development.
Chinese version of the Precursors to Boredom Scales: Evaluation and psychometric properties
Authors: Chen Jian , Zhou Lihua , Liu Liqiong
Published: September 2021

We evaluated the psychometric properties of the Chinese Precursors to Boredom Scales (C-PBS) with a sample of Chinese college students. The results show that the C-PBS had acceptable internal consistency reliability and criterion validity, and that the eight-factor model fit the data
well. We also investigated the characteristics of precursors to boredom in Chinese college students. Apart from one factor (being underchallenged), all precursors were significantly and negatively correlated with students' self-efficacy for self-regulated learning, and with academic achievement.
It is notable that low-income (vs. high-income) students who were bored during mathematics classes felt less monotomy, lack of meaning, and oppurtunity costs. The C-PBS is, thus, a relevant instrument for the investigation of precursors to boredom in Chinese college students.
The effect of gender stereotypes on cross-modal spatial attention
Authors: Gu Jiyou , Dong Huiqin
Published: September 2021

Using a spatial-cueing paradigm in which trait words were set as visual cues and gender words were set as auditory targets, we examined whether cross-modal spatial attention was influenced by gender stereotypes. Results of an experiment conducted with 24 participants indicate that they
tended to focus on targets in the valid-cue condition (i.e., the cues located at the same position as targets), regardless of the modality of cues and targets, which is consistent with the cross-modal attention effect found in previous studies. Participants tended to focus on targets that
were stereotype-consistent with cues only when the cues were valid, which shows that stereotype-consistent information facilitated visual–auditory cross-modal spatial attention. These results suggest that cognitive schema, such as gender stereotypes, have an effect on cross-modal spatial
attention.

The influence mechanism of social interaction on intention to continue using mobile public welfare applications
Authors: Zhao Fenfen , Shi Xiaohui , Li Xiumei
Published: September 2021

Social interaction is an important factor for many mobile applications, including mobile public welfare applications (MPWAs), to successfully attract users to keep using them. We explored the influence mechanism of social interaction on users' continuance of usage behavior in relation
to MPWAs by constructing an interaction–experience–intention influence path. A survey was designed and distributed on QQ, WeChat moments, and via WeChat groups. Using this snowball sampling method, we collected 362 completed surveys. To test the research hypotheses we used structural
equation modeling and hierarchial regression analysis. The results show that social interaction affected social presence positively, and social presence had a significant influence on emotional pleasure and continued usage intention. Emotional pleasure positively affected continued usage intention.
Shared vision played a moderating role in the relationship between social presence and continued usage intention. These conclusions enrich the literature on social presence and personal participation in public welfare in the context of mobile applications, and also provide some useful suggestions
for MPWA managers on how to ensure continued usage.

Objectives. To study the effects of various concentrations of the food additive E407a (semi-refined carrageenan) on the metabolic activity of fetal liver cells, splenocytes, and bone marrow cells. Material and methods. Fetal liver, splenocytes and bone marrow cell cultures were incubated with the food additive E407a at concentrations varying from 0 mg/ml to 10 mg/ml for 24 hours (n=8). To analyze the effects of this food additive on the metabolic activity of cells, a colorimetric MTT assay was used. It is based on the ability of viable, metabolically active cells to convert 3 (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide into formazan. The data were statistically processed using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn’s criteria. Results. The bone marrow cell culture was found to be the most sensitive to carrageenan. More than a twofold statistically significant (p<0.0001) increase in the metabolic activity of bone marrow cells was observed when using E407a from 200 μg/ml and above. The metabolic activity of splenocytes increased approximately 1.5 times and over (p<0.0001) when using carrageenans at the concentration of 500 μg/ml and higher. Fetal liver cells turned out to be the most resistant to the direct toxic effect of the food additive E407a. Conclusions. The food additive E407a is cytotoxic to bone marrow cells and splenocytes at concentrations of 200 μg/ml and 500 μg/ml, respectively.

Published: September 2021

Objectives. To study Toxoplasma gondii as a factor of carcinogenic processes progression at the molecular-genetic level in an intermediate host. Material and methods. In the experiment, the expression of the proto-oncogenes survivin (BIRC5), epidermal growth factor (ErbB-2/HER2-Neu), GLI, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and anti-oncogene TP53 was determined in comparison with the reference genes - β-actin (ACTB) and GAPDH by means of PCR analysis in the tissues of animals with C6 tumor in situ infected with toxoplasma in different doses. A statistical comparison was made between the data of the experimental groups, depending on the dose of infection and the stage of the parasite development. Results. It has been revealed that toxoplasma can cause an increase in the expression of survivin (BIRC5), VEGF, ErbB-2/HER2-Neu, GLI in the tumors, lungs, liver, spleen, brain, both when invaded at a dose of 25 toxoplasma tachyzoites per 1 g of body weight (5000 tachyzoites per female) and when infected at a dose of 50 toxoplasma tachyzoites per 1 g of body weight (10000 tachyzoites per female). The degree of an increased expression of proto-oncogenes is directly dependent on the dose and stage of the parasite development. Infection of female rats having glioma with toxoplasma tachyzoites leads to a decrease in the expression of the anti-oncogene TP53 in the tissues of glioma, the lungs, liver, spleen, and brain of female rats. The decrease in the expression of TP53 depends on the dose of infection and the stage of toxoplasma development. Conclusions. Experimental toxoplasmosis causes an increase in the expression of BIRC5, ErbB-2/HER2-Neu, GLI, VEGF and a decrease in the expression of the anti-oncogene TP53, which can lead to the development of aggressive blastomogenic processes in mammalian tissues.

The objective was to integrate the information of the local milk production system, physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of the milk; elaboration process, and physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of cheese to establish its typicity. The manufacturing of the cheese in most of the dairies studied has registered the operation of three generations of families. Variability in their chemical composition, microbiological, colour, texture and sensory was related with time and number of turns during the pressing, amount of added salt and vegetal fat. Cheeses with less pressing time had higher moisture content and less protein and fat content. The bacterial counts were related to milk quality tests, training courses and material of containers. These factors also affected the hardness of the cheese. Those with added vegetable fat and with high salt content had the highest hardness. The Hue angle (h°) of the cheeses indicated a tonality close to yellow (90°). Difference in chromaticity (C*) can be related to the use of vegetable fat. Cheeses with higher moisture content were brighter (L*) and had less color saturation. The sensory evaluation showed that the most typical cheeses were perceived in the attributes as salty, milk aroma, and serum and milking smell. Applying sanitation measures of milk collection, good cheese manufacturing practices and avoiding the addition of vegetable fat, it could be possibly getting a legal-commercial protection of the ranchero Jarocho cheese.

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la capacidad de predicción de las ecuaciones de calibración desarrolladas mediante NIRS (espectroscopía de reflectancia en el infrarrojo cercano) sobre muestras secas y molidas, para estimar la calidad fermentativa de ensilados de girasol. Un total de 52 muestras de ensilados procedentes de diferentes ensayos de silos de laboratorio realizados en el CIAM (Centro de Investigacións Agrarias de Mabegondo), cuyo espectro NIRS se registró sobre muestras secas en estufa y molidas. Las muestras en estado fresco fueron analizadas por métodos de referencia. Se determinó el pH, ácido láctico, ácido acético, etanol, nitrógeno amoniacal y nitrógeno soluble. Las calibraciones NIRS fueron desarrolladas utilizando regresión por mínimos cuadrados parciales modificada, realizando la regresión entre los datos espectrales y los de referencia. La capacidad predictiva de las ecuaciones obtenidas osciló entre excelente y buena, mostrando coeficientes de determinación de validación cruzada (r2vc) iguales o superiores a 0.88. Los valores del índice RPD para todos los parámetros estudiados fueron iguales o superiores a 3.0, por lo tanto, las ecuaciones de calibración obtenidas sobre muestras secas y molidas pueden utilizarse satisfactoriamente para predecir la calidad fermentativa de ensilados de girasol en análisis de rutina.

El objetivo fue identificar y caracterizar el tipo de productores de conejos en los estados del centro de México con base a factores sociales, productivos, tecnológicos, económicos y de eficiencia, con el fin de generar información para el diseño de recomendaciones de apoyo a la cunicultura. Se diseñó y aplicó un cuestionario a una muestra de 155 unidades de producción de conejos (UPC) de donde se obtuvo información socioeconómica, productiva, económica, uso de infraestructura y de componentes tecnológicos, de la cual se definieron 14 variables originales, con las que se obtuvo la estratificación de los cunicultores aplicando métodos multivariados. Para la caracterización y comparación de los grupos resultantes se realizó un análisis de varianza bajo un modelo completamente aleatorio para las variables continuas y una prueba de homogeneidad para las variables categóricas. Se detectaron cuatro factores que explican el 67.5 % de la variación total y que por las cargas factoriales de las variables analizadas se llamaron: 1) capacidad productiva de la UPC, 2) capacidad técnica de la UPC, 3) capacidades del cunicultor y 4) eficiencia técnica de la UPC. Se identificaron tres tipos de productores; pequeño cunicultor familiar (37 %), mediano cunicultor familiar (50 %) y cunicultor empresarial (13 %). La tipología obtenida puede ser útil para contribuir al diseño de políticas públicas diferenciadas de apoyo a la cunicultura, que incidan en una mayor eficiencia y productividad de unidades de producción de conejos en los estados del centro del país.
