Cognition and Perception of Critical Care Nurses Regarding Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation
Authors: Mehna Shanu , AS Vishvas , Chakrabarty Shibdas
Published: November 2024

Background: The use of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has increased substantially in the last three decades as it moved from critical care to ward settings and became an essential tool to manage respiratory failure. To provide a good standard of care, it is crucial that nurses providing NIPPV care to patients have knowledge and a positive attitude within their area of competence. Objective: To determine the level of knowledge and attitude of nurses who provide NIPPV patient care and to associate the findings with the selected demographic variables. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out from May to June 2023 with 280 nurses working at various critical care units in a tertiary-level hospital, selected through convenience sampling technique. Data was collected using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers and analyzed using SPSS version 27. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for the analysis. Normality of the data was ensured by using the Q-Q plot and the Shapiro-Wilk test. The Fisher exact test was used to compute association with demographic variables. The level of statistical significance was set at ≤ 0.05 for all analyses. Results: The majority (68.9%) of nurses had inadequate knowledge of NIPPV with an overall knowledge mean score of 13 ± 3.45, and the majority (69.3%) maintained a neutral attitude, with 27.1% expressing negativity and a small proportion (3.6%) of nurses demonstrating a positive attitude. Notably, none of the participants had attended critical care training. There was a significant association found between knowledge levels and attitude with age (p value 0.035) and the total years of experience (p value <0.001) in nursing. There was a negative correlation found between knowledge and attitude, computing a Karl Pearson correlation coefficient of -0.248 (p<0.001). Conclusion: The study findings emphasize the necessity for targeted in-service education and interventions to ensure a comprehensive and positive approach to enhance the quality of care provided by the nurses in the context of patients receiving non-invasive positive pressure ventilation therapy.
Штучний інтелект в історичній освіті: спостереження та перспективи
Authors: Ковалець Тарас
Published: November 2024

Загальнодоступні чат-боти на базі штучного інтелекту (ШІ) швидко стають невід’ємною частиною нашого життя. Це програмні середовища, які базуються на результатах роботи нейронних мереж з величезними масивами передусім текстових даних, що враховують специфіку природних людських мов, можуть сприймати текст, введений користувачем, і генерувати текстові відповіді. Наразі існують десятки популярних чат-ботів, серед яких найбільш відомі ChatGPT, Bing, Claude і Bard.Автор публікації вже понад рік ретельно вивчає їх для особистих потреб та спостерігає за стрімким проникненням цих систем ШІ в освітній процес. За останні два навчальні семестри застосування студентами таких чат-ботів стало надзвичайно поширеним, хоч здійснюється переважно з грубим порушенням академічної доброчесності. Текст, який повинен забезпечити відповідь на різні питання з історії, генерується чат-ботами феноменально швидко, але загалом він настільки ж феноменально далекий від очікувань.Можна виділити кілька специфічних індикаторів, котрі вказують на таке порушення доброчесності: перефразування, абсолютна узагальненість, позбавленість будь-яких важливих фактів і дат, абсурдність тверджень та кардинальне перебільшення важливості історичних проблем, подій та осіб, змішування фактологічного матеріалу з різних епох, історії різних держав і народів.Великою проблемою видається переписування тексту (рерайтинг), з яким чат-боти добре дають собі раду і який наявні системи перевірки плагіату не в стані ідентифікувати.Стосовно тестових завдань, зважаючи на їх переважну простоту і орієнтованість на перевірку певних усталених фактів, чат-боти «забезпечують» навіть до 90% правильних відповідей. Технічним рішенням у цій ситуації можуть бути спеціальні плагіни для обмеження переходу між вкладками браузера, хоч вони платні й незручні у використанні.Єдиним дієвим способом відновити академічну доброчесність видається спрямування освітяністориків – не толерувати подібне застосування цих систем, ретельно пояснювати студентам їх шкідливість для сфери історичної освіти.Чат-боти на базі ШІ навряд чи будуть колись заборонені або ліквідовані. Потрібно змиритися з тим, що вони існують, і пристосуватися до того, як вони працюють. Це справді проривні технології, котрі можуть якісно покращити історичну освіту в майбутньому, однак, на жаль, не в теперішньому.
Головні убори волинських міщан литовської доби (за актовими матеріалами)
Authors: Тарасюк Марина
Published: November 2024

У статті реконструйовано основні види головних жіночих та чоловічих уборів волинських міщан початку – середини XVI ст. за актами ґродських та земських судів Луцького, Володимирського та Кременецького повітів. Метою розвідки було встановлення та опис головних уборів і їхнього забарвлення, визначення типових для пошиття хутра та тканин. Наведено потенційні ціни на головні убори волинян, які були доступними міщанину з будь-яким матеріальним становищем. Зрештою, авторка дійшла висновку, що головні убори міщан протягом литовської доби були важливим компонентом костюму у будь-який сезон, тож пересічний волинян прагнув мати у гардеробі декілька виробів різної вартості для урочистих та повсякденних подій.

Політика російської окупаційної адміністрації стосовно єврейського населення Буковини у 1916–1917 роках
Authors: Безаров Олександр
Published: November 2024

Досліджено політику російської окупаційної адміністрації стосовно єврейського населення Буковини у 1916–1917 роках. Доведено, що для окупаційної адміністрації Чернівецького губернатора В. В. Лігіна головним завданням було забезпечення продуктами харчування фронту і місцевого населення. Відповідна політика систематичної реквізиції товарів і коштів у єврейських підприємців провадилася упродовж усього окупаційного періоду. Непростою у політиці Чернівецького губернатора була проблема виселених за рішенням російського командування євреїв. Її розв’язання зазвичай залежало від особистого втручання В. В. Лігіна у справи конкретних виселенців. Однак в умовах шпигуноманії та загальної атмосфери взаємної недовіри між євреями та окупаційною адміністрацією у 1916 р., проблему примусового виселення євреїв з Буковини та повернення депортованих євреїв до Росії на батьківщину вдалося розв’язати тільки після Лютневої революції 1917 року. Спроби Чернівецького губернатора відновити навчання у місцевих школах загалом виявилися н вдалими через його ідеологічну упередженість стосовно німецької та єврейської мов викладання. Проблема відкриття єврейських навчальних закладів на Буковині взагалі не розглядалася. З іншого боку, автор погоджується із зауваженнями деяких сучасних українських дослідників з приводу того, що порівняно з попередніми роками російської окупації Галичини та Буковини, окупаційний режим генерал-губернаторства Ф. Ф. Трепова виявився відносно ліберальним, а Лютнева революція 1917 р. у Росії лише посилила такі тенденції. Новостворений навесні 1917 р. Обласний комісаріат Галичини та Буковини на чолі з Д. І. Дорошенком і О. Г. Лотоцьким сприяв поверненню євреїв Буковини з цивільного полону у Росії. Однак, на думку автора, радикальних змін у політиці окупаційної адміністрації стосовно євреїв Буковини не сталося навіть за часів Тимчасового уряду. Взаємна недовіра зберігалася аж до згортання діяльності російської окупаційної влади на Буковині у серпні 1917 року.
Bacterial community diversity of crude oil-polluted soil, water and sediment in K-dere community Ogoniland Nigeria using 16s amplicon sequencing
Authors: Maduwuba Maryjoy Chidinma , Ubani Onyedikachi
Published: November 2024

The exploration of crude oil in K-dere community over the years has resulted in environmental contamination, raising the need to study the abundance, diversity, and potential of the bacterial community in the affected environment because of its ability to cause a shift in the bacterial community composition of the contaminated system. This understanding is needed for the potential development of bacterial-based oil-remediation products. Crude oil-contaminated soil, water and sediment samples were collected from the K-dere community in Ogoniland, Nigeria, and the physicochemical parameters were determined using standard procedures. The bacterial community diversity was determined using the 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing on Illumina MiSeq. The results showed that the soil and sediment samples were highly acidic (soil = 3.40±0.15 and sediment = 2.10±0.08), while the water sample was slightly acidic (water = 6.00±0.9). The sediment sample had the highest electrical conductivity of 19750±5.72 µS/cm and nitrate concentration of 66.0±1.63 mg/kg, while the water sample had the highest total dissolved solids of 109.50±0.05 mg/L and total suspended solids of 2.00±0.00 mg/L. The soil sample had the highest total petroleum hydrocarbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentration of 10412.5±0.163 mg/kg and 63.583±0.02 mg/kg, respectively, while the water sample had the lowest. The top seven (7) phyla and fourteen (14) distinct bacterial genera were detected in all samples. Phylum Proteobacteria had the highest abundance in all the samples, and genera Pseudomonas, Acidibrevibacterium, Acidiphilium, Leptospirillum, Rhizomicrobium and others were detected in all the samples. The highest bacterial community diversity and abundance were revealed in the soil sample. The findings revealed that the bacterial communities in these sites could be harnessed or optimized in bioaugmentation and bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. This implies that these crude oil-contaminated sites contain bacterial communities that can serve as bioresources for the degradation of crude oil hydrocarbons.

Published: November 2024

This study investigated the relationship between bedroom environmental conditions, sleep quality, and cognitive performance among young adults residing in a university dormitory. Participants were 34 healthy students aged 18 to 23 years from Diponegoro University, Indonesia. The study employed subjective and objective measures to assess bedroom environmental conditions, sleep quality, and cognitive performance using various instruments and questionnaires. Results revealed suboptimal environmental conditions, including high room temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, and noise levels, which significantly impacted sleep quality. While participants exhibited relatively good sleep efficiency, factors such as high temperature and CO2 concentration negatively affected sleep duration and quality, leading to lower percentages of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and Slow Wave Sleep (SWS). Cognitive performance analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between sleep quality and cognitive function, particularly in vigilance and short-term memory. Better sleep quality was associated with improved cognitive performance, highlighting the importance of optimizing bedroom environmental conditions. Recommendations for improving air ventilation, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality are proposed to enhance sleep quality and cognitive function among dormitory residents. Overall, the study emphasizes the importance of addressing environmental factors to promote better sleep health and cognitive well-being among young adults in educational settings.

Authors: Lalitha P. S. , Gajula Srimannarayana , Prasannanjaneyulu A. N. K.
Published: November 2024

Fossil fuels continue to be a critical component of the global energy landscape in the 21st century, meeting a large portion of the world's energy needs. Despite the growing awareness of their environmental impacts, fossil fuels—namely coal, gas, and oil—are still widely used due to their availability and efficiency. These fuels are essential for powering industries, transportation, and supporting modern lifestyles. However, the significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion present a serious environmental challenge, contributing to global climate change. Understanding the ongoing importance of fossil fuels emphasizes the urgent need to innovate and transition to sustainable energy solutions. Such a shift is crucial for reducing CO2 emissions and ensuring a more environmentally responsible and resilient future. This study examines the consumption patterns of fossil fuels—specifically coal, gas, and oil—in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. To predict future demand for these non-renewable resources, the study utilized Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models with different (p, d, q) parameters. By using Autocorrelation Function (ACF) and Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF) plots, the study identified suitable ARIMA models for each fuel type, selecting the best models based on the lowest Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) values. The study successfully forecasted the demand for coal, gas, and oil over the next decade in the three countries. These insights are crucial for planning the production of renewable energy, reducing fossil fuel consumption, and promoting a sustainable environment for future generations.

Published: November 2024

Biofilm is one of the leading causes of prolonged infection known currently with higher treatment failure if caused by polymicrobial biofilm. Lactobacillus strain is known to produce antibiofilm substances that could disrupt biofilm by fungi and bacteria. This study aims to evaluate two probiotic strains, L. plantarum and L. rhamnosus’ ability as single and multistrain to disrupt the biofilm of Candida albicans and Escherichia coli. This study employed a true experiment post test only control group design, using C. albicans and E. coli clinical isolate as subjects. The subjects in this study are divided into control and treatment groups. Treatment groups were subdivided into those receiving L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus and both probiotics for 24 h. Pathogens were incubated for 48 h in a 96-well microplate to reach a mature state before treatment groups were exposed to probiotics suspension for 24 h. Then, biomass was monitored using Crystal Violet (CV) staining and read using an ELISA reader to obtain the Optical Density (OD) values. The biofilm mass between treatments and control groups demonstrated a meaningful difference (p < 0.05), further post hoc analysis demonstrated multistrain cell-free supernatant of L. plantarum and L. rhamnosus demonstrated the highest antibiofilm between treatment groups in lowering biomass of single and dual-species biofilm C. albicans and E. coli (C. albicans = 0.215 ± 0.086; E. coli = 0.218 ± 0.099; dual-species biofilm = 0.123 ± 0.025). With the exposure of 24 h, the combination of L. plantarum and L. rhamnosus can decrease the biomass of single or dual-species biofilm formed by C. albicans and E. coli.
Assessing Western Balkans regional integration efforts: A comparative study of the berlin process and the Open Balkan initiative
Authors: Xhoxhaj Veton
Published: November 2024

In terms of politics and economy, the European Union and other Western powers have become more involved with the Western Balkan countries over the past ten years. The goal of the August 2014 Berlin Conference, which marked the beginning of the Berlin Process, was to strengthen multilateral ties between the EU member states and candidate and prospective candidate countries from the former Yugoslav countries and Albania. The goal of this effort is to promote better regional cooperation among these nations, with an emphasis on issues related to infrastructure and economic development. Although they were involved in the process, the presidents of North Macedonia, Serbia, and Albania put out their own proposal for regional cooperation in 2019—the Mini Schengen initiative, also known as the Open Balkan initiative—to promote regional trade among other things. Although there are potential benefits concerning OBI, such as improved regional cooperation and trade, it poses a high threat of creating political and economic rifts in the region, undermining broader regional stability. It is argued that the OBI could divide the Western Balkans, with countries like Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina expressing concerns about their exclusion and the initiative’s alignment with their EU ambitions. Furthermore, there are fears that the OBI may consolidate Serbia’s political dominance in the region, potentially fostering economic imbalances and threatening democratic governance. The objective of this paper is to analyze the distinctions between the Berlin Process and OB Initiative, as well as the possible adverse effects of OBI on the area and whether it could succeed. One argument against the OB Initiative is that it is unlikely to be beneficial given that half of the states that could join it are against the idea.

.Becoming Information access is very important for citizens to determine their own destiny, to participate in social and political life, as well as for development. However, the impact of the contemporary political economy of media in Indonesia has resulted in the premise of equal citizens' rights to media that still not being achieved. Business-powered media tend to prioritize the interests of the majority over the minority. Because the existence of the media remains important in society, it should be the key for the media industry to serve the interests of society, especially to provide for the needs of minority groups and vulnerable groups.
Sustainable Management of Headwater Resources: The Nairobi	'Headwater' Declaration (2002) and Beyond
Authors: Haigh Martin J.
Published: November 2024

Promoting integrated, self-sustainable management strategies for the management of the zero-to-first- order catchments, which provide the marginal areas of every river basin, is the goal of the 'Headwater Control' movement. Headwaters provide the source of fresh water resources and changes in their characteristics may affect the water resources in all areas downstream. Because of the fractal nature of all river systems, headwaters may occupy around 50% of the land surface. Since 1989, the study of headwaters has been advanced by the 'Headwater Control Movement', later International Association for Headwater Control. After 15 years and five major international conferences, the movement has grown from a European to a global initiative, whose proceedings demonstrate a change in the approach to sustainable watershed management from 'control' to 'accommodation' and ultimately 'self-control' within the limits of the natural environment. The human dimension of headwater management remains its major challenge, especially the reform of the management institutions and the empowerment of local communities for environmental management.

This report examines the characteristics of the 'Headwater Control' philosophy in relation to three sister movements: the FAO's 'Land and Livelihood' agenda, ecohydrology, and the 'Better Land Husbandry' ideology sponsored by the World Association of Soil and Water Conservation. In September 2002, in response to the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development, the Headwater Control Movement issued its own manifesto, the 'Nairobi Headwater Declaration for the International Years of Mountains and Freshwaters' which was endorsed by five United Nations agencies and published by the United Nations University in Tokyo. Subsequently, the movement has worked towards the implementation of the recommendations of the Declaration, promoting trans-national working groups on sustainable watershed management across the Balkan States and Northern Turkey, sponsoring a NATO-Advanced Research Workshop to tackle the problem of evaluating the environmental roles of wetlands in larger headwater catchments, and initiating contributions towards embedding watershed consciousness within programmes of Education for Sustainable Development.
Climate Change and Coastal Ecosystems: An Overview
Authors: Ramesh R. , Purvaja R.
Published: November 2024

Abstract: The amounts of trace gases notably CO $_2$ , N $_2$ O and CH $_4$ have been increasing in the earth's atmosphere. Increased concentration of these gases leads to a warming of the Earth's surface and the lower atmosphere. The resulting changes in climate and their impacts such as sea level rise, coastal ecosystems etc, can be estimated without associating the origin of the warming to any one of these gases specifically. In this paper, an attempt has been made to review the processes involved in climate change and its effects on sea level rise and on the coastal ecosystems.

Published: November 2024

Accurate estimation of groundwater recharge is extremely important for proper management of groundwater system especially in semi-arid regions. Many different approaches exist for estimating recharge. This study deals with groundwater modeling for assessing the groundwater balance and estimating the recharge in the Gundal sub-basin, which is located in a semi-arid portion of the Kabini river basin. A two-dimensional fully distributed groundwater model on the concept of predominantly lateral flow conceptualized as an unconfined aquifer has been used in this study. The modeling is supported through remote sensed data and GIS. The different modeling approaches used here gave consistent set of specific yield, transmissivity and rainfall recharge factor with the assumption of zero flow condition specified along the basin boundary. However, these parameters are found to be lower than what is usually known to occur in this geo-climatic context. The results of groundwater modeling, further supported through the groundwater chemistry analyses, show the impact of pumping resulting in regional groundwater flows influencing the hydrogeological regime in the recharge zone. The study also indicates that water levels in the excessive groundwater depletion zones in the Gundulpet area are sustained at the present level due to the inflows from the adjacent Nugu river basin.

Published: November 2024

The signal reaching the satellite is mix-up of contributions from varied features on the ground surface besides atmospheric errors. Getting back the information on ground features from satellite-based data is an ill-defined inverse problem and is solved by applying statistics-based maximum likelihood (ML) type constraints. Here, the limits of classification accuracy attainable, using (in full) the professionally prepared GIS vector overlay for giving comprehensive training sets (approach 'a'), and thereafter fortifying this further even by starting with a priori probability worked out using relative fractional distribution under each class (approach 'b'), and improvement of accuracy in iterative mode were studied. Both GIS vector overlay-based approaches 'a' and 'b' gave nearly similar results for the area under different thematic classes and nearly matched with area(s) under input GIS overlay for dense, mixed and teak forest, grassland and water, and did not match for settlement, podu/blank, bamboo and semi-evergreen forests. In non-GIS based ML classification, near matching with GIS vector overlay was achieved in initial classification for dense forest, semi-evergreen forest, settlement and water. Overall accuracy and kappa coefficients were favouring GIS vector overlay-based technique giving overall accuracy in 83.5–87.5% range (and not 100%) while for non-GIS overlay approaches it was about 73%.
An Approach in Modelling the Physiological Effects of Waste	Disposal on Human Health
Authors: Udeorji C.I. , Oke S.A. , Adedeji W.O.
Published: November 2024

In the past several decades research scholars and professionals have emphasised the need to direct research efforts to the complex physiological effect of waste disposal. More recently, researchers have argued that for nation to stay healthy, the physiological effects of waste disposal as it relates to accident and disease prevention needs to be understood. While accident studies in environments, where improper waste disposal methods apply are very important, the current trend in disease explosion both in the developed and developing countries of the world has reached an alarming dimension. Research studies presently reveal that there is an outbreak of some terminal diseases such as SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) which may perhaps be related to inappropriate waste disposal method. Thus, there is a need for a renewed attention on disease control through the development of appropriate waste disposal control models. Therefore, modelling the physiological effects of waste disposal in some mathematical perspectives should be adequately explored. This work presents a model on the physiological effects of waste disposal with the use of statistical theory. This presentation and an understanding of the interaction of the component variables offer some beneficial insight. Some probabilistic measures are formulated using the expectancy model in statistics. The results showed that the scientific modelling of the waste disposal problem is feasible. Future studies could include the application of emerging concepts and analytical tools such as analytical hierarchy process (AHP), fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm (GA).
Municipal Sludges as Landfill Barrier Material
Authors: Zhang Peng , Wu Zhichao
Published: November 2024

The aim of this research is to find substitute barrier materials for natural clay from two kinds of municipal sludge: waterworks sludge (S $_w$ ) and dredging sludge (S $_d$ ). Laboratory tests were performed first to determine their Atterberg limits and hydraulic conductivity. Based on the results, recommendation of using waterworks sludge is proposed. Then, shear strength test was performed and we found the shear resistance property of waterworks sludge is strong enough to keep slope stability. In order to evaluate the possibility of secondary pollution, we further determined the heavy metal contents of waterworks sludge and the result shows that secondary pollution is less possible to happen. Finally, economic analysis proves that reusing waterworks sludge as barrier will save a great amount of money for both landfill and waterworks. At the end of this article, we offer the proposal to use waterworks sludge and suggest a further long-term simulated landfill test.
Acute Toxicity Study of Heavy Metal Chromium and Tannery Effluent	Water in Water Flea, Daphnia magna Straus by Bioassay Method
Authors: Talapatra S.N. , Banerjee S.K.
Published: November 2024

An acute toxicity test for each metal measures the deleterious effect of an organism over a short-term exposure. Whole effluent toxicity (WET) test has been widely used overseas to assess the potential toxicity of effluents. The results of these tests can be used for a variety of functions including resource consent monitoring and compliance, toxicity identification evaluations and evaluation of effluent treatment processes. The acute toxicity study of heavy metal chromium as well as tannery effluent (chromium containing) water have been evaluated by laboratory bioassay experiments for 48 h duration in water flea, Daphnia magna Straus. The median lethal concentration (LC $_{50}$ ) value of chromium metal for 48 h duration was determined to be 0.4027 ppm. WET test confirmed median lethal concentration (LC $_{50}$ ) values of tannery effluent water for 48 h duration was 6.540% dilutions respectively. Chromium content in tannery effluent water was found 3.47 ppm which is quite higher from different water quality standards.

Published: November 2024

Recent advances in computer technology have provided the tools and the environment for the industrial engineer to study, analyse, and better understand complex systems. This technological development has enabled the industrial engineering professional to collect and analyse massive amounts of data to scale previously not possible. Industrial engineers have made immense contributions in diverse systems such as telecommunications, healthcare, transportation, oil and mineral exploration, etc. with great impacts on the lives of human beings. The impact of this technology is now being felt in the environmental field in collaborative research with environmental scientists and mathematicians to improve the solid waste recycling system. In this work, a computer programme is developed for one of such efforts. In particular, an estimation of the net output per unit time of the system is made i.e. the quantity of a recycled material that could be produced over a period of stipulated time. The programme accepts input, performs the necessary calculations and produces the results in a format indicating the output.
Electromagnetic Water Treatment and Water Quality Effect on	Germination, Rooting and Plant Growth on Flower
Authors: Ozdemir Saim , Dede Omer Hulusi , Koseoglu Gulgun
Published: November 2024

The effects of electromagnetic treatment of hard-alkaline well water on water quality and flower seed germination, rooting of cuttings and plant growth have been studied, compared with natural well water, rain water, distilled water and tap water. According to the germination test, water quality has not significantly affected germination percentage and shoots length, but effects were significant on root length and root dry weight. Electromagnetic treated water increased the root dry weight by 11%. In the rooting experiment only root dry weight of African violet and Coleus were affected by different water supply and electromagnetically treated water increased root dry weight by 10% compared to natural well water. Electromagnetic treatment decreased both water alkalinity, hardness, pH, EC and growing media pH, Ca, Mg and lime deposition but those not significantly effected plant growth, branching, flower number/plant and shoot dry weight as compared to natural well water. Because of relatively short vegetation period and low pH of peat, detrimental effects of hard-alkaline water on flower growth were not observed. However, relatively higher mineral concentration in natural well water and electromagnetic treated water increased the plant height, branch number/plant and shoot dry weight, but not flower number/plant as compared to distilled water and rain water.
