Published: September 2020

A reproducible in vitro regeneration system was developed for three varieties of Brassica campestris L. namely Agrani, BINA Sarisha-10 and BINA Sarisha-6 using hypocotyl and cotyledonary leaf with petiole as explants. MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP and 0.2 mg/l IAA was found to be the best for the multiple shoot formation for all the three varieties. Among three varieties, BINA Sarisha-6 showed best response in terms of shoot regeneration as well as number of shoots per explant (9.0) using hypocotyls as explants. In case of Agrani and BINA Sarisha-10 highest number of shoot per explants were found 8.2 and 7.0, respectively. Interestingly in vitro regenerated shoots of BINA Sarisha-6 and BINA Sarisha-10 were produced in vitro flowers on shoot regeneration media. Best root induction in BINA Sarisha-6, Agrani and BINA Sarisha-10 was achieved on MS media supplemented with 0.5 mg/l IBA. After proper hardening, the in vitro regenerated plantlets were successfully transplanted into soil.

Authors: Khatun M , Mohammad G , Rahman Mir T , Kabir SE
Published: September 2020

Pharmaceutical and textile industries widely use inorganic and organic components which undergo different chemical and biochemical reactions with the ground water systems. The removal of organic wastes from effluents was carried out using a composite adsorbent. Four different samples were collected from the Gonoshasthaya Antibiotic Limted, Gonoshasthaya Pharmaceuticals Limited, Pakiza Dyeing and Printing Industries Limited and Bangladesh Dyeing and Finishing Industries Limited. Synthetic effluents of four types were prepared maintaining a similar chemical average of the collected samples. All the samples contained a high concentration of TDS, TSS, TS, COD and BOD5. The composite adsorbent performed excellently for all the samples. The concentrations of the components contained in the waste water were analyzed by UV-Visible spectrophotometer and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). After the treatment, the decreasing trend of the absorbance and total peak area indicated that the significant amount of effluent materials were removed.

Published: September 2020

Based on the 36 quantitative morphological descriptors, agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) and principal component analyses (PCA) were conducted to identify 106 diverse Sesbania accessions. The AHC analysis identified three major clusters with 11 sub-clusters. In PCA, the first and second PCs explain 72.48% and 12.72% of total variations with high Eigen value 9.1 and 1.7, respectively. Sesbania accessions occupied four distinct positions in the PCA graph. Based on multivariate analyses and qualitative descriptors, Sesbania accessions have been identified as S. bispinosa (90 accessions), S. cannabina (9 accessions), S. sesban (6 accessions) and the known S. rostrata. The AHC dendrogram has detected the close similarities between S. rostrata and S. cannabina. However, the PCA has emerged to be better than the AHC as a species identification tool. Among these four species, the highest discriminating distance (23.69%) was observed between S. sesban and S. bispinosa, and the lowest (10.52%) was in S. bispinosa and S. cannabina.

Electrodeposition behaviour of copper from ore leachate and copper ammonium sulphate
Authors: Ambo AI , Glassa HJ , Peng C
Published: September 2020

The deposition behaviour of copper ammonia complexes from ore leachate and synthetic copper ammonium sulphate solutions was investigated using cyclic voltammetrywith platinumas counter electrode. The work is carried out to understand the deposition behaviour of the ore for hydrometallurgical and electro winning application. The chemical reduction and deposition of copper from both solutions consisted of two reversible electrochemical processes, each involving the transfer of a single electron. The Cu(NH3)4 2+ complex in the copper leachate is first reduced to Cu(NH3)4 + before being reduced to metallic copper. With synthetic copper ammonium sulphate (Cu(NH3)4SO4), the reduction to metallic copper is a ligand-coupled electron transfer reaction which proceeds as two sequential, single-electron transfer processes. The Cu/Cu(NH3)4 2+ redox reaction during deposition of copper from the leachate is fast compared to that of the Cu/Cu2+ redox reaction in the Cu(NH3)4SO4 synthetic solution. Investigation of the electrochemical kinetics shows that the linear relationship between the peak current and the square root of the scan rate is an indication that the Cu(NH3)4 + and Cu(NH3)4SO4 reduction to Cu proceeds through a diffusion-controlled process.

Published: September 2020

Background: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. The most common prostate cancer test is the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. This is a simple blood test that measures the presence of prostate-specific antigen circulating in bloodstream. This test is usually the first step in any prostate cancer diagnosis.
Objective: To detect the occurrence of prostate cancer at different level of serum PSA level between 2.5ng/ml and 4ng/ml.
Method: This hospital based cross sectional analytical study was conducted between the periods of January 2012 to April 2013. A total of 30 patients with features of lower urinary tract symptoms with enlarged prostate attending to the Department of Urology, National Institute of Kidney Diseases & Urology (NIKDU), Sher-E-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka were purposively selected as study population by taking the permission of ethical committee. Patients more than 50 years old with lower urinary tract symptoms at S. PSA level 2.5 - 4 ng/ml and enlarged prostate in DRE were selected as study population. Patients with bleeding disorder, anorectal pathology, active UTI or prostatitis or urethral stricture were excluded from this study. DRE was done to see the size, consistency and nodularity of prostate. Those who had enlarged prostate found on DRE, they were sent for biopsy multi parametric MRI (MPMRI) & Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data system (PIRAD) score may be applied.
Result: The mean age of the patients was 66.87±10.13 years with a range of 52-90 years. Among 30 patients 10 (33.3%) were in the age group of 51-60 years, 10 (33.3%) were in the age group of 61 - 70 years, 5 (16.7%) were in the age group of 71 - 80 years and 5 (16.7%) were in the age group >80 years. Among 30 patients 4 (13.3%) had malignant lesion and 26 (86.7%) had benign lesion. Mean serum PSA level among the patients with histopathological findings benign and malignant were 3.34±0.51 and 3.47±0.43 ng/ml respectively. Out of 4 patients with malignant lesion, 1(25.0%) had serum PSA level within 2.50-2.99 ng/ml, another 1(25.0%) had 3.00-3.49 ng/ml and 2(50.0%) had serum PSA level within 3.50-4.00 ng/ml. There is no statistically significant difference observed in serum PSA level among the patients with histopathological findings benign and malignant (P>0.05).
Conclusion: For early diagnosis of prostate cancer cut-off value of serum PSA of 2.5 ng/ ml may be used as an indication for prostate biopsy.

Objective- To evaluate the usefulness of measuring stone density in Hounsfield Unit by Low-dose Non Contrast Computed Tomography scan in predicting the outcome of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for renal stone clearance.
Materials & Methods - A total of 96 patients with renal stone size d” 20 mm attending at the OPD of BSMMU were included in this study. The outcome measures were complete clearance of stone, number of ESWL sessions and number of shock waves required to become stone free.
Result- The mean size of the stone was 1.8 ± 0.3 cm. The mean stone density was 663.7 ± 69.8 HU. 25% of the patients underwent 2 sessions of ESWL, 52.1% three sessions and 22.9% more than 3 sessions. Of the patients 83.3 % were successfully cleared of their stone. The mean number of shock waves 6689.2±268.4 required for stone fragmentation of d” 750 HU and 9945±375.7 required > 750 HU stone density respectively. 85.5% of the patients with stone density d” 750 HU needed d” 3 sessions to become stone-free; whereas only 55.5% of the patients with stone density > 750 HU became stone-free in d” 3 sessions. 14.5% patients needed > 3 sessions of ESWL with stone density of e” 750 HU. 78.8% of the patients with stone density d” 750 HU exhibited complete clearance of stone as opposed to 37.5% of those with stone density > 750 HU. The chance of having complete stone clearance is 6-fold (95% CI = 1.9-19.4) higher in patients with low density stone (d” 750 HU) than that in patients with high density stone (d” 750 HU) (p = 0.002).
Conclusion-In conclusion a stone density less than 750 HU should be treated with ESWL as first choice of treatment.

Published: September 2020

Penile fracture is an uncommon urological emergency especially in Bangladesh. The other name is traumatic rupture of the tunica albugenia and corpora cavernosa in erect penis. It occurs when an erect penis face to buckle under the pressure of a blunt sexual trauma. Patient gives the typical history of immediate detumescence, severe pain, swelling and eggplant deformity of the penile shaft due to penile injury. Immediate surgical exploration and repair of corpora Cavernosa with tunica albugenia is the most effective treatment modality. In normal cases diagnosis is made from history, physical examination alone. In some special cases ultrasonogram, radiological images, including retrograde urethrography or cavernosography are mandatory for proper diagnosis.Herein, we report 2 cases of penile fracture with review of current literature regarding treatment options.

Yliopistolla on miehinen historia. Nykypäivän yliopistokin on täynnä sukupuolittuneita rakenteita ja käytäntöjä. Vastaavatko naiset yliopiston tehokkuus- ja tuottavuusvaatimuksiin työskentelemällä enemmän ja nukkumalla vähemmän, kuten brittitutkijat toteavat? Yliopistojen opetusvastuusta naiset kantavat leijonanosan, mutta mitä opetustyölle on tapahtumassa suoritekeskeisyyden ja markkinoitumisen myötä? Mitä tutkimukset meillä ja muualla tuovat esiin?

Jos epävarmuus otetaan yliopisto-opetuksen kehittämisen lähtökohdaksi, kehittämisellä ei niinkään ymmärretä tekemistä paremmin, laadukkaammin ja tehokkaammin nykyisin tiedetyillä tavoilla. Sen sijaan kuuluu kysyä, miten toimia yliopisto-opettajana aina kulloisessakin nyky-yliopistossa. Kirjoittajat hahmottelevat kehittämisen kolmatta tilaa. Yksi heidän innostuksen lähteensä on yliopistotutkija Ronald Barnettin artikkeli Learning for an unknown future (2004).

Using Alternative Assessment to Assess Undergraduate EFL Students at Yemeni Universities: Challenges from the Perspectives of Faculty
Authors: Moqbel Marwan Saeed Saif
Published: September 2020

The present study aimed at investigating alternative assessment (AA) within the Yemeni university EFL classrooms in terms of identifying the challenges of using AA to assess undergraduate EFL students from the perspectives of the faculty. Data were collected, through a questionnaire, from (66) lecturers and professors of different ranks who teach EFL at the collegiate level in two Yemeni public universities and one national university. The results of the study indicated that faculty members of English departments at Yemeni universities face some challenges of using AA to assess undergraduate EFL students. These challenges belong to various factors, including the instructional environment, the students, the management of Yemeni universities, the faculty members, or the nature of AA. Statistically significant differences were found in the mean scores according to years of experience variable between respondents with less than 5 years and those with 5-10 years of experience in favor of those with less than 5 years of experience, but not according to the type of university, gender, and specialization variables. Accordingly, some recommendations were given to address the identified challenges, which might lead to a better implementation of AA in Yemeni university EFL classrooms.

WHO’s Attempt to Navigate Commercial Influence and Conflicts of Interest in Nutrition Programs While Engaging With Non-State Actors: Reflections on WHO Guidance for Nation States Comment on "Towards Preventing and Managing Conflict of Interest in Nutrition Policy? An Analysis of Submissions to a Consultation on a Draft WHO Tool"
Authors: Rodwin Marc A.
Published: September 2020

This commentary situates the comments submitted in response to the World Health Organization (WHO) draft guidance on conflicts of interest in national nutrition programs in light of: (1) WHO policies to protect WHO integrity; (2) the Framework of Engagement with Non-State Actors (FENSA); (3) WHO’s attempt to seek funds due to cuts in member contributions; and (4) attempts—often by corporate entities—to redefine conflicts of interest to avoid oversight of conflicts of interest and increase corporate influence. The WHO guidance defines conflicts of interest in ways that deviate from standard legal usage which confuses its analysis and facilitates the creation of conflicted public-private partnerships. The guidance suggests that nations can allow engagement with non-state actors when the benefits are greater than risks without separate check due to conflicts of interest. Instead, the WHO should have recommended that nations seek alternative ways to achieve their goals when non-state actors have significant institutional conflicts of interest.
Should Public Health and Policy Communities Interact With the Food Industry? It Depends on Context Comment on "Towards Preventing and Managing Conflict of Interest in Nutrition Policy? An Analysis of Submissions to a Consultation on a Draft WHO Tool"
Authors: Cullerton Katherine , Adams Jean , White Martin
Published: September 2020

The issue of public health and policy communities engaging with food sector companies has long caused tension and debate. Ralston and colleagues’ article ‘Towards Preventing and Managing Conflict of Interest in Nutrition Policy? An Analysis of Submissions to a Consultation on a Draft WHO Tool’ further examines this issue. They found widespread food industry opposition, not just to the details of the World Health Organization (WHO) tool, but to the very idea of it. In this commentary we reflect on this finding and the arguments for and against interacting with the food industry during different stages of the policy process. While involving the food industry in certain aspects of the policy process without favouring their business goals may seem like an intractable problem, we believe there are opportunities for progress that do not compromise our values as public health professionals. We suggest three key steps to making progress.
Experimental evaluation of compressibility parameters of lime and silica fume stabilized dredged soil
Authors: Develioglu Inci , Pulat Hasan Fırat
Published: September 2020

The use of alternative materials in civil engineering applications contributes to sustainable development and the economy. Large amounts of sediment are produced as waste material regarding to dredging activities in canals and ports. Storage or disposal of this material may cause some environmental and economic problems. To overcome these problems, dredged soils can be used for various civil engineering applications such as filling materials of road, foundation, and embankment. However, dredged soils generally have low bearing capacity, shear strength, and high compressibility due to their organic matter content. Therefore, these soils need to be improved with various additives before using as fillers. In this study, the index and compressibility parameters of a dredged soil were examined. The dredged soils were obtained from İzmir Bay. In the first part, Atterberg’s limit test, sieve analysis, specific gravity, pH determination, scanning electron microscope analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and consolidation test has been conducted for dredged samples which have various organic matter content (0, 4, 7 and 11%). In the next part, natural dredged soil samples were mixed with lime and silica fume in various proportions (5, 10, 15, and 20%), and compressibility performance was compared with the natural samples. It has been obtained that liquid and plastic limit, compression index, and void ratio change of natural dredged samples increased when organic matter content increased. While the silica fume has a negative effect on the compressibility behavior of dredged soil, the lime has a positive effect.
