Authors: Saputra Riza Adrianoor , Ramadani Qudsi , Jumar Jumar
Published: February 2024

Along with the times, edamame has good prospects for development. This prospect can be seen from the high demand for exports of around 100,000 t year-1. However, Indonesia is only able to fulfill about 3% of it. The lack of fulfillment of the export market for edamame is due to several constraints in its development. One of the obstacles is the availability of fertile land. Peatlands in South Kalimantan have problems with high soil acidity and low soil fertility. Using oyster mushroom baglog waste (OMBW) is an effort to increase peat soil fertility and edamame production. This study aims to determine the best dosage of OMBW compost for raising soil pH, growth, and yield of edamame on peat soils. This study was structured using a one-factor completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments, namely: 0 (b0), 5 (b1), 10 (b2), 15 (b3), and 20 t ha-1 OMBW  compost (b4). The results showed the best dose of 20 t ha-1 OMBW  compost (b4) increased plant height at 4 weeks after planting (WAP) by 45%, the number of leaves at 4 WAP by 60%, and the number of pods by 65%. In comparison, the dose of 10 t ha-1 OMBW  compost (b2) was best at increasing soil pH at 3 weeks after incubation by 20.24%, increasing plant stem diameter by 39%, and fresh pod weight by 78%.
 
Abstrak
Seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, edamame memiliki prospek yang baik untuk dikembangkan. Hal ini terlihat dari kebutuhan ekspornya yang tinggi sekitar 100.000 t tahun-1. Namun, Indonesia hanya mampu memenuhi sekitar 3% dari kebutuhan tersebut. Kurangnya pemenuhan pasar ekspor akan edamame ini dikarenakan beberapa kendala dalam pengembangannya. Salah satu kendalanya yaitu ketersediaan lahan subur. Lahan gambut di Kalimantan Selatan memiliki masalah kemasaman tanah yang tinggi dan kesuburan tanah yang rendah. Pemanfaatan limbah baglog jamur tiram (LBJT) merupakan upaya untuk meningkatkan kesuburan tanah gambut dan produksi edamame. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dosis terbaik kompos LBJT dalam meningkatkan pH tanah, pertumbuhan, dan hasil edamame di tanah gambut. Penelitian ini disusun menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) satu faktor dengan lima perlakuan yaitu: 0 (b0), 5 (b1), 10 (b2), 15 (b3), dan 20 t ha-1 kompos LBJT (b4). Penelitian ini menghasilkan dosis terbaik yaitu 20 t ha-1 kompos LBJT (b4) mampu meningkatkan tinggi tanaman pada 4 minggu setelah tanam (MST) sebesar 45%, jumlah daun pada 4 MST sebesar 60%, dan jumlah polong sebesar 65%. Sebagai pembanding, dosis 10 t ha-1 kompos LBJT (b2) terbaik dalam meningkatkan pH tanah pada 3 minggu setelah inkubasi sebesar 20,24%, meningkatkan diameter batang tanaman sebesar 39%, dan bobot polong segar sebesar 78%.
Maladaptive Coping Mechanisms of Sring Venka in Response to Sexual Trauma and PTSD in The Poppy War Series by R.F. Kuang
Authors: Mzyk Aleksandra
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this article is to validate the thesis that Sring Venka, a character of Rebecca F. Kuang’s The Poppy War, a grim-fantasy series based on historical events of the 20th century China, uses maladaptive coping mechanisms (also known as immature defences) due to suffering from sexual trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after rape. Nevertheless, although the series is popular in the mainstream media, the character of Venka is often overlooked or grossly misunderstood. This article opens with a brief synopsis of the series and current critical commentary with the emphasis on Venka. Second, I outline the theoretical aspects in order to understand the reasoning behind Venka’s trauma, PTSD, and, resulting from both, maladaptive coping mechanisms. In what follows, I expand on how Venka’s trauma, PTSD, and maladaptive coping mechanisms are presented in the series and how they affect her. Lastly, I utilise the results of the analysis in the concluding section in order to explore several of its implications.

Authors: Lahm Andreas , Spank Heiko , Zilkens Christoph , Kasch Richard
Published: February 2024

Background. cartilage layer thickness, composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM), geometry and configuration of retropatellar cartilage partially differ significantly from those found at other locations and are essential for patellofemoral biomechanics.Material and methods. 119 serial medial and lateral patella facet samples of patients undergoing implantation of a total knee endoprosthesis of areas showing mild (Group A, macroscopically ICRS Grade 1b) respectively advanced (Group B, macroscopically ICRS Grade 3a/3b) (38 each) osteoarthritis according to the histological-histochemical grading system (HHGS) were compared with 22 healthy biopsies by means of immunohistochemistry and histology investigations. We quantified our results on the gene expression of collagen type I and II and aggrecan with real-time (RT)-PCR rsp using colourimetry for proteoglycan content. The digitized images of histology and immunohistochemistry staining with Safranin O, Alcian blue, PAS, Masson Goldner, immunostaining, e.g. for collagen I and II were also analyzed with Photoshop software.Results. The most significant decrease in staining intensity was revealed for Safranin-O staining in Group B at the lateral patellar facet, and the most relevant increase was for Col I staining at the same site. The lateral patella site in Group B also showed the highest increase in the ratio of expression indices for the genes Col1A1 and the reference gene following the equation 2–ΔCt with a quotient of 29.6.Conclusions. 1. Comparisons of our retropatellar cartilage analysis with femoral and tibial studies utilizing similar techniques show significant differences. 2. Cartilage layer thickness, ECM composition, geometry and configuration are essential for patellofemoral biomechanics. 3. Consequently, there is a need for diversified approaches towards retropatellar surface during TKA as well as for advanced cartilage restoration techniques.
Effect of Chronic Inflammation on Bone Density in Type 2 Diabetes Following Total Hip Arthroplasty
Authors: Bazela Paweł , Sewerynek Ewa
Published: February 2024

Background. Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) constitute 20% of patients qualified for Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Poor glycemic control may result in a worse prognosis after THA. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of T2DM-induced inflammation on changes in bone density around the endoprosthesis stem in female patients.Material and Methods. The investigational group consisted of female patients with T2DM and HbA1c> 6.5% who underwent THA. A control group consisted of female patients with T2DM and HbA1c≤6.5% who underwent THA. Anthropometric measurements, laboratory testing and functional status assessment according to the Harris Hip Score (HSS) were performed. A DXA bone density scan was performed within the first day after THA. The measurements and assessments were repeated after one year.Results. The Body Mass Index (BMI) was higher in the investigational group (33.802.93) than in the control group (31.223.40). Patients in the investigational group had higher CRP (4.661.59) as well as Bone Mineral Density (BMD) values in the operated (1.280.22) and opposite limb (0.940.14) on initial testing. After one year, there was a statistically significantly higher CRP in the investigational group (3.441.74) than in the control group (1.921.51).Conclusions. 1. The level of HbA1c in patients with T2DM is not associated with periprosthetic changes in BMD. 2. BMD changes may be associated with chronic inflammation and may mask severe abnormalities in bone microarchitecture. 3. Patients with T2DM after THA should undergo long-term clinical follow-up.

Published: February 2024

Background. The aim of the work was to investigate the influence of the position of a fractured greater tubercle of the humerus on stress distribution in the glenohumeral joint (GHJ) at shoulder abduction by performing stress-strain analysis (SSA). Material and methods. A simulated 3D model of the shoulder was constructed on the basis of anatomical and anthropometric data as close as possible to real ones using the SolidWorks software package.Results. A finite-element model (FEM) was generated in a semi-automatic mode composed mostly of tetrahedral and hexagonal elements < 1 mm in dimensions.Conclusion. The simulated 3D model of the shoulder, based on anatomical and anthropometric data as close as possible to the real ones, makes possible highly accurate determination of the optimal mutual position of the movable elements of the real joint individually for each specific patient, and makes it possible to accurately perform a minimally invasive surgical operation.

Published: February 2024

Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between bronchiectasis criteria, scores, and indices used today and surgical interventions due to bronchiectasis.

Methods: Between January 2009 and December 2018, a total of 106 patients (53 males, 53 females; mean age: 39.1±12.3 years; range, 14 to 68 years) with non-cystic fibrous bronchiectasis were retrospectively analyzed. We determined symptom improvement and complications as main factors. We divided the patients into two main groups: those who had symptom improvement after pulmonary resection (Group 1, n=89) and those who did not (Group 2, n=17). We further analyzed patients who had postoperative complications (n=27) with those who did not (n=79). The following scores and criteria were used in this study: modified Reiff score, Gudbjerg criteria, Naidich criteria, Bronchiectasis Severity Index, and FACED scoring.

Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of the modified Reiff scores and FACED scores. As the modified Reiff score increased, there was a higher rate of symptom relief (p=0.04). Contrary to this, an increase in the FACED score predicted a poorer postoperative outcome (p=0.03). Considering complications, a significant difference was observed in the Gudjberg criteria, and higher grade suggested a higher risk of complication (p=0.02).

Conclusion: The grading and scoring systems related to bronchiectasis may have some predictive value in terms of surgical outcomes. A high modified Reiff score and a low FACED score can predict postoperative success, whereas Gudbjerg criteria can indicate postoperative complications.
Early-onset Marfan syndrome with aortic dilatation and giant pulmonary artery aneurysm: A case report
Authors: Zhang Qian-Nan , Xu Feng-Li , Shi Shan-Shan
Published: February 2024

A 30-year-old woman with ankylosing spondylitis was referred to our clinic with abnormal fetal echocardiography findings, including ascending aortic dilatation, giant main pulmonary artery aneurysm, and aortic and pulmonary valve stenosis at 22 weeks of gestation. The full-term male neonate was born by cesarean section and was transferred to the cardiac intensive care unit soon after delivery for respiratory distress with low percutaneous oxygen saturation. Based on cardiovascular and genetic analysis findings, the patient was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. Surgery was performed; however, the patient died due to cardiac arrest. In conclusion, main pulmonary artery dilatation and aneurysms are uncommon in Marfan syndrome; therefore, presentation with these findings during the fetal life, as in the present case, is likely a sign of severe Marfan syndrome-related cardiac involvement.

Published: February 2024

Background: This study aims to report the incidence of acute kidney injury following surgical reconstruction after a failed endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Methods: This retrospective study included 44 patients (39 males, 5 females; mean age: 70±11.3 years; range, 35 to 84 years) who underwent emergency or elective surgical reconstruction after failed EVAR between February 2015 and January 2019. Patients were divided into two groups: acute kidney injury group and no acute kidney injury group. The primary end-point of the study was to evaluate the development of acute kidney injury following surgery. The secondary end-points included the 30-day and one-year mortality rates.

Results: Surgical reconstruction of the abdominal aorta was performed electively in 29 (65.9%) patients and urgently in 15 (34.1%) patients. Acute kidney injury occurred in 12 (27.3%) patients. The interval from endovascular aneurysm repair to surgical reconstruction was statistically significantly higher in the no acute kidney injury group than in the acute kidney injury group (24.6±11.5 and 18.1±13.3 months, respectively; p=0.145). The mean abdominal aortic aneurysm diameter, neck angulation, and neck diameter were statistically significantly higher in the acute kidney injury group than in the no acute kidney injury group (p=0.001, p=0.009, and p<0.001, respectively). No statistically significant difference was observed between the acute kidney injury and no acute kidney injury groups for the overall 30-day mortality (p=0.185) and oneyear mortality (p=0.999).

Conclusion: Acute kidney injury is not uncommon after the surgical reconstruction of a failed EVAR. Aneurysm-related anatomical factors may have an impact on the development of postoperative acute kidney injury. Comprehensive surgical planning should be performed for open abdominal aortic surgery after a failed EVAR.

Published: February 2024

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of awake video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery on postoperative pulmonary complications among patients with different risk scores using the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia (ARISCAT).

Methods: Between January 2011 and August 2021, a total of 246 patients (158 males, 88 females; mean age: 59.1±13.6 years; range, 25 to 84 years) who underwent awake video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery were retrospectively analyzed. According to the ARISCAT scores, the patients with low and intermediate scores were included in Group L (n=173), while those with high scores (n=73) were included in Group H. Sedation protocol consisted of the combination of midazolam and fentanyl with propofol infusion, if necessary. Oxygen was delivered via face mask or nasal canula (2 to 5 L/min) maintaining an oxygen saturation of >95%, and analgesia was achieved with intercostal nerve block. Demographics, operative, and postoperative data of the patients, and pulmonary complications were evaluated.

Results: Demographics, operative, and postoperative data were similar between the groups. Postoperative pulmonary complications were observed in 20 (27%) patients in Group H and 29 (17%) patients in Group L without statistically significant difference (p=0.056). Surgical approaches consisted of pleural procedures (n=194) and pulmonary resection (n=52). The incidence of pulmonary complications was significantly higher in the pulmonary resection compared to non-pulmonary procedures (p=0.027).

Conclusion: Awake video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery seems to be beneficial in reducing the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in high-risk patients as assessed with the ARISCAT.

In this experiment, the effects of supplementing choline and fat in rumen protected form during peripartum period on feed intake, milk production and composition of Gir cows were studied. Twenty four Gir cows of 1st to 3rd parity were used from 30 days pre-partum through 60 days post-partum and randomly assigned to four equal treatment groups (n=6) on the basis of their parity, body weight and previous lactation yield. Control diet was fed to cows in group T1 (control). Additionally, rumen protected choline (RPC) @45 g/d in group T2; rumen protected fat (RPF) 80 g/d in group T3 and RPC @45 g/d + RPF @80 g/d in group T4 were supplemented along with control diet. The treatments significantly affected dry mater intake (DMI) and milk production of cows. DMI was increased in the cows fed with RPC as compared to control. Milk yield, 4% fat-corrected milk, solid-corrected milk and energy- corrected milk were higher in the cows fed with RPC and RPF alone or in combination, as compared to control. No synergistic effect was observed with these supplements on DMI or milk production. None of these supplements influenced the milk composition significantly, however yield of milk fat, protein and lactose were higher in all the nutrient supplemented cows compared to control. Net return over feed cost was higher in supplemented cows compared to control. Results indicated that supplementation of RPC or RPF can improve feed intake and productive performance of Gir cows for overall economic benefits.

Essential oils are plant-derived aromatic volatile oils, and they contain bioactive compounds that have been shown to improve poultry nutrition. However, considering problems associated with the solubility and bioavailability of polyphenolic compounds, the study was planned to find out the effect of the novel feed-grade delivery system, phytosomes for conjugation of plant-derived polyphenolic compound carvacrol on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The experiment was conducted, on 240 broiler chicks for a period of 6 weeks. The chicks were divided into 4 groups having 4 replicates of 15 birds each. The birds in the control group (T0) offered a standard diet as per BIS (2007) specification. Group T1 received a standard diet supplemented with Bacitracin Methylene Disalicylate (BMD) antibiotic at standard dose and group T2 received a standard diet supplemented with carvacrol essential oil @100 mg/kg feed. Group T3 received a standard diet supplemented with phytosome-conjugated carvacrol essential oil (carvacrol @16.6%) @100 mg/kg feed. The performance of all the treatment groups was assessed with respect to the different performance parameters. The supplementation of phytosome-conjugated carvacrol essential oil (carvacrol @16.6%) @ 100 mg/kg feed was found beneficial in terms of growth performance, feed efficiency, and intestinal morphometry. In terms of economics of broiler production, the results revealed that the addition of phytosome- conjugated carvacrol essential oil and carvacrol essential oil in diets was found beneficial in reducing the cost of broiler production, thereby enhancing the margin of profit in broiler production and fetching higher net profit than the control group.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of tramadol, pentazocine lactate and meloxicam as pre- emptive analgesics in dogs premedicated with glycopyrrolate, inducted with propofol and maintained with propofol continuous rate infusion (CRI) for certain haematological and biochemical parameters. The animals were randomly divided into three equal groups,viz. Group-T, Group-P and Group-M comprising six animals in each group and all the animals were premedicated with glycopyrrolate. After 10 min of pre-anaesthetic administration, pre-emptive analgesia was given. Blood was collected from cephalic or saphenous vein at intervals 0 (baseline) min before premedication, thereafter at 10 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h and 3 h after pre-emptive analgesic administration and haemato- biochemical parameters were recorded. Hb, PCV and TEC were significantly decreased at 30 min and 1 h interval in all the three groups. TLC and glucose concentration were significantly higher in group-M as compared to group-T and group-P at different time intervals. GGT level increased significantly at 30 min in all the three groups. CRP concentration was significantly higher in group-M as compared to group-T. Total protein was significantly decreased at 1 h interval in group-T and group-P, but in group-M such finding was noticed at 2 h interval. Cortisol was significantly lower in group-T in entire study period. The alterations in physiological and haematological parameters caused by tramadol, pentazocine lactate and meloxicam were found to be minimal and within the physiological limits. Tramadol produced less significant rise in CRP and cortisol concentrations which indicated better pain management. Based on the findings of the present study, it is concluded that tramadol is more effective as compared to pentazocine lactate and meloxicam in the management of post-operative pain due to canine ovariohysterectomy.

A preliminary study was conducted for the detection of the infectious bronchitis virus circulating among the poultry flocks of Kerala employing a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, where, a high prevalence of the virus was reported. The present study is the first comprehensive study pertaining to the molecular characterization of hypervariable regions of the S1 gene of IBV in Kerala. The positive samples were sequenced with primers targeting the three hypervariable regions of the S1 subunit of spike gene. It was observed that the isolates of Kerala shared more than 95% similarity with isolates from different parts of India. On phylogenetic analysis of hypervariable regions 1 and 2, all the Kerala isolates clustered with isolates from other parts of the country. Phylogenetic analysis of the hypervariable region 3 revealed that the Kerala isolates branched separately from the isolates belonging to different parts of India. The study advocated the need of an area specific vaccine in Kerala, employing the potential candidate vaccine strain isolated in the study.

This study aims to examine the role of women in the tempe-making business in Lambusa village, Konda subdistrict, South Konawe Regency. The population in the study were all women who were active in Mr. Madarin's tempe making business in Lambusa Village. The informants in the study were divided into two groups, namely the main informants (female employees working in the tempe business) and the supporting informants (tempe business owners). The determination of the informants was purposive with the criteria that the informants were considered to have the capacity related to the role of women as business actors who were able to provide information related to the tempe-making business, so the research informants were 6 people. The research data were collected through survey, interview, documentation and recording methods using an instrument in the form of an interview guide. The descriptive qualitative analysis used in this research consists of three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion or data verification. The results showed that the role of women in the business activities of tempeh production included preparation of tools and materials, washing, boiling, skinning soybeans, soaking, steaming, leavening, and packaging. The role of women is included in the active role category because women are always active in each stage of the tempeh production process. Although the main role of women is basically only in the wrapping or packaging process.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in pregnant women due to different anatomical, hormonal and functional changes. The incidence of UTI in pregnant women is 5 % to 10 %. This study collected information related to etiological agents, predisposing factors for UTI, mechanisms and antibiotic resistance by etiological agents in pregnant women.Methods: a bibliographic review was carried out in databases in Pubmed, Scopus, Scielo, Elsevier and Google Google Scholar. In which, through the prism method, scientific articles and documents containing updated information published during the period 2018-2023 were selected and included.Results: a thorough search was carried out in different databases and 19 articles were selected, in which it was identified that the most frequent etiological agent was Escherichia coli, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae. The antibiotic with the greatest resistance by the etiological agents was ampicillin and the main mechanism of resistance in uropathogens was the production of βLEE mainly in Escherichia coli.Conclusions: urinary tract infection is frequent in pregnant women, and resistance to antibiotics has currently been increasing, so it is important to constantly update the pattern of susceptibility and resistance to antibiotics in pregnant women for antibiotic treatment and prevention feto-maternal safety
Decolonising Voice Research: The Inclusion of Indian Classical music
Authors: Ranganathan Samyukta
Published: February 2024

This article presents a narrative literature review on the decolonisation of voice research through the inclusion of Indian Classical Music (ICM). It utilises the Indigenous paradigm to incorporate the experiences of ICM practitioners, recognising their valuable perspectives and knowledge. The review delves into key aspects of ICM: range, vocal registration, and vocal ornamentation and agility. It explores the specific requirements and techniques employed in these areas, shedding light on the unique stylistic elements of ICM. Furthermore, the article examines the common vocal issues faced by ICM singers, considering the impact of these challenges on style and performance. By addressing these issues, the article aims to contribute to the preservation and enhancement of ICM as a distinct vocal tradition. The review emphasises the significance of incorporating ICM research not only for the benefit of the ICM community, but also for the broader voice research community. By integrating ICM into the realm of voice research, scholars may gain a deeper understanding of the diverse range of vocal practices and expand their knowledge base. This inclusivity fosters a more equitable and comprehensive voice research landscape. This article advocates for the decolonisation of voice research through the inclusion of Indian Classical Music. By embracing the Indigenous paradigm and examining the unique aspects of ICM, researchers can contribute to a more inclusive, diverse, and enriched understanding of vocal traditions and practices.
