Management of Nematodes with Cowpea Cover Crops
Authors: Grabau Zane Joseph , Rios Esteban
Published: February 2022

Cover crops are grown between cash crop cycles, or intercropped with cash crops to cover the ground, such as in vegetable fields, orchards, groves, and agricultural sites. If used appropriately, cover crops can improve soil structure and fertility, decrease soil erosion, provide foliage and animal feed, and suppress crop pests such as weeds, insects, nematodes, and other plant pathogens. Residues from cover crops can be incorporated as green manure to supply nutrients and improve fertility for the next crop. Using cover crops can increase on-farm crop diversity, may enhance many beneficial organisms, and possibly even contribute to carbon sequestration. One good example of a summer cover crop is cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp, due to its fast establishment, abiotic and biotic stress tolerance, and biomass production.  This publication is intended to guide agricultural professionals in the use of cowpea cover crops for managing plant-parasitic nematodes.

Pulmonary Benign Metastasizing Leiomyoma: Case Report of Late Occurrence in Postmenopausal Patient
Authors: Costa Rafael Everton Assunção Ribeiro da , Santos Lina Gomes dos , Neves Julio Benevides Viana , Reis Cristiane Amaral dos
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma (PBML) is a rare condition that occurs most commonly in young women of reproductive age some years after hysterectomy. The aim of this study was to report a PBML case which occurred 33 years after hysterectomy in a postmenopausal patient. Case report: A 59-year-old female diabetic patient, G2P2A0, with dyslipidemia, a non-smoker and ex-alcoholic (quit in the 90s), with pulmonary symptoms was referred to the health service. A chest computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple pulmonary nodules. A previous history of hysterectomy at 26 years of age led to a diagnostic hypothesis of PBML. The patient underwent segmentectomy of the largest nodule (measuring 1.2 x 0.9 cm) located in the left lung. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry studies confirmed the diagnosis of PBML. Conclusion: The patient is currently in good physical condition (regression of previous pulmonary symptoms) and scheduled for clinical follow-up. A new chest CT will be performed in 6 months.

THERMO-PNEUMATIC MICROPUMP FOR DRUG DELIVERY APPLICATIONS
Authors: Hamid Norihan , Majlis B.Y , Yunas J , Ibrahim Mazree
Published: February 2022

Micropumps constitute an essential part of precise delivery and directional volume control of fluid in a microfluidic system. In biomedical applications, micropump is widely used especially in drug delivery, biological fluid transmission, organic analysis, liquid measurement, and many more. In this paper, the concept and design structure hence fabrication of the Thermo pneumatic micropump prototype are explained. The experimental measurement of the micropump employing planar diffuser nozzle in transmits fluid is also presented. Thermopneumatic micropump is comprised of three different components which are the microheater on the bottom, the flexible thin membrane that acts as an actuator, and the planar diffuser nozzle on the top to channel the fluidic. These three components were fabricated separately due to the different materials and techniques used in each component.  Finally, the whole micropump system was integrated using an anodic bonding technique. Bulk micromachining technique was used to fabricated the chamber and thin-film membrane, surface micromachining technique for the microheater while replica molding technique was used for the planar diffuser nozzle. The whole diameter size for the micropump was  25 x 20 x 1.6 mm respectively. The microscope image recorded video and data was used during the experimental measurement, to observed and calculate the flow rate of meniscus motion flow in the outlet tube of the micropump.  At the end of the experiment, the flow rate range of the micropump measure was approximately 770pL to 12.5nL, when the output of 2-12Vdc was applied to the microheater.  This flow rate range is very suitable for drug delivery applications.
The politics and practices of representing bodies in capitalism
Authors: Gálvez Alyshia , Saldaña Tejeda Abril , Vasquez Emily , Brady Jennifer , Yates-Doerr Emily
Published: February 2022

This publication was produced from a roundtable discussion about the cultural politics of representation and metabolic illness commissioned by the organizers of the 2021 “Just Food” conference. The immediate occasion for the roundtable was a film that had been submitted to the conference titled, El Susto: Mexico’s Love Affair with Sugary Drinks Turns Deadly, produced by Karen Akins.

Just Food conference organizers wished to screen the film and provide an academic roundtable discussion to unpack some of the tropes that frequently surround discussions of globalized markets of processed foods and the rise of metabolic illness (see also, for example, the NYTimes multi-part series on the rise of “globesity”). With questions posed by the Chair, Emily Yates-Doerr, the roundtable discussion focused broadly on the challenge of problematizing the inequitable burden of metabolic illness among equity-seeking groups without stigmatizing those who consume foods that are often seen as the cause of disease. More specifically, panelists considered how to redress the corporate greed that drives expanding global markets for processed food, without pathologizing racialized and fat bodies. We jointly insisted that academic inquiry and activism should keep the focus on political and economic structures, such as trade agreements and health policies, that undergird health inequities, rather than individual dietary choice or a lack of education. 

The roundtable panelists were selected by the Just Food conference organizers because of their expertise on metabolic disorder, the cultural practice of capitalism(s), and techniques of representation. Because we believe the conversation has relevance for anyone working on or thinking about health and its representation – in or outside of Mexico -- we are reproducing it here. We have lightly edited the transcript of the conversation to help with readability.

Introdução e objetivos: A imunoterapia tem introduzido avanços no tratamento do carcinoma pulmonar de não- -pequenas células. Contudo, dados da prática clínica atual sobre potenciais grupos respondedores, duração ideal de tratamento e questões de segurança permanecem por esclarecer. Pretende -se produzir uma reflexão sobre a população de doentes com resposta favorável ao Pembrolizumab e como têm evoluído clinicamente longo do tempo. Materiais e métodos: Estudo retrospetivo de doentes que cumpriram pelo menos 2 anos/35 ciclos de Pembrolizumab, com análise descritiva das características clinicopatológicas e dos resultados médicos obtidos ao longo do período de seguimento. Resultados: Identificaram -se 23 doentes, maioritariamente, homens (95.7%), diagnosticados com adenocarcinoma (78.3%) em média aos 62.0anos de idade, apresentando bom estado funcional. Durante o tratamento, 69.6% dos casos alcançaram resposta objetiva. À data do estudo, com um seguimento mediano de 35.2meses, 17 doentes estavam vivos e em remissão (73.9%), 7 dos quais (41.1%) com doença controlada por tempo superior a 32.6 (máximo observado de 48.7)meses; entre os que que progrediram (13.0%), apenas 1 alcançou novamente resposta parcial ao fim de 5.1meses desde a reintrodução da imunoterapia. Ocorreram eventos adversos grau >2 em 9 doentes (39%), condicionando diferentes desfechos clínicos; desses, 44% evidenciaram reincidência mesmo após suspensão da imunoterapia. Discussão e conclusões: Os dados parecem corroborar o potencial benefício duradouro do Pembrolizumab descrito em estudos recentes, com perfil de segurança manejável, embora não desprezível. Na ausência de toxicidade relevante e perante progressão da doença, um segundo curso poderá ser ponderado. Todavia, mais estudos prospetivos e multicêntricos, com maior amostra e longo período de seguimento, são necessários para sustentar estes dados.

Az ombudsman és az egyenlő bánásmód előmozdítását szolgáló szervek közötti kapcsolat Magyarország és Horvátország viszonylatában
Authors: De Negri Laura
Published: February 2022

Horvátország az Európai Unióban egyedülállóan sokrétű, az ombudsmanhoz telepített- az egyenlő bánásmód előmozdítását szolgáló- intézményi rendszerrel rendelkezik. Míg Magyarországon az ombudsman intézményének fejlődése annak megjelenése óta azt a tendenciát követte, hogy az ombudsmani feladatokat ellátó személyi kör egyre szűkebbé vált, Horvátországban ezzel ellentétes tendencia érhető tetten, ugyanis az egyes speciális területeket érintő ombudsmani ügycsoportok egyre több önálló szakosodott ombudsman kezébe kerülnek. A szakcikk részletesen bemutatja a Horvátországban működő ombudsmanok feladat- és hatáskörét, valamint rámutat a horvát és a magyar vonatkozó jogszabályi megoldások közötti hasonlóságokra és különbségekre.

Having lived during the last years of the Qing dynasty and the subsequent and troubled Republic of China, Liang Qichao was, alongside his better well-known contemporary Sun Yat-sen, one of the most influential public intellectuals of his time. An insightful observer and defender of monarchical constitutionalism, Liang watched with concern the fall of the Braganzas monarchy in Portugal and the republican revolution of October 5, from which he sought to draw lessons for his own country. This article focuses on the essay Causes of the Portuguese Revolution and its Future (in chinese 葡萄牙革命之原因及其将来 Putaoya geming zhi yuanyin ji qi jianglai), written by Liang Qichao days after the Portuguese revolution, and attempts to analyze it in the light of the political thought of the Chinese intellectual. We also expect to contribute with a new perspective on the 1910 Revolution in Portugal by introducing this essay to Portuguese-speaking audiences.

Published: February 2022

There are many similarities between the Macanese Chá Gordo and European and Oriental banquets. European banquets that many associate with the ancient Greeks and Romans, Italian antipasto whose origin is attributed to Marco Polo who brought it from China, Portuguese acepipes linked to the Arabic Az-zibib and the Chinese Yam chá are according to some, are the basis for the designation Chá Gordo and the dishes that make up this special meal in Macanese cuisine. The eating habits and customs of the Japanese Christians who sought safe haven in Macau in the aftermath of Shogun Tokugawa’s expulsion Edit of 1614 greatly influenced the Macanese cuisine. The more recent reflections associate Chá Gordo which is served in the afternoon, with the traditional English High Tea. The variety of dishes of the Chá Gordo is given as the reason why it was developed in the nineteenth and twentieth century in the homes of affluent Macanese families. Most if not all of these narratives are speculative, probably based on oral tradition. In this paper we will explore a different line of thought taking account of historical facts from maritime history characterized by tragedy, resilience and religious devotion that over time became features of Macanese identity and the basis of the origin and custom of the Macanese Chá Gordo.

Mecanismos anticorrupción: Un análisis de disponibilidad y operación en instituciones públicas seleccionadas del Ecuador
Authors: Vasconez-Fuentes Jose Luis
Published: February 2022

La lucha contra la corrupción ha sido una de las principales prioridades a nivel nacional, regional e internacional. Sin embargo, siguen existiendo inconvenientes en el proceso de mejorar la prestación de servicios públicos. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la idoneidad de los mecanismos anticorrupción disponibles para combatir la corrupción en instituciones públicas seleccionadas en Ecuador. El diseño metodológico que adoptó el estudio fue fenomenológico-hermenéutico, pues, el investigador asocia e interpreta los significados de sus experiencias con la corrupción. La población de estudio comprendió a todos los jefes de las instituciones que se consideraron en el enfoque multisectorial para la lucha y prevención de la corrupción. Se concluyó que, los mecanismos internacionales, regionales y nacionales han sido vulnerables y flexibles para combatir la corrupción. Esto debido a que, existe un problema en el régimen de sentencias por delitos de corrupción donde los tribunales pueden imponer sentencias bajas irrazonables que no son adecuadas para disuadir a los delincuentes que promueven prácticas corruptas.

Technological advances supported by human knowledge have a very good influence on data and information storage technology, including in predicting student graduation (Graduation Prediction) on time, by applying several existing algorithms. In this study, researchers used the C5.0 Algorithm and Linear Regression. The concept of the research is to compare two algorithms, namely C5.0 and Linear Regression to the case of graduating students on time. Based on the length of study, students who graduated correctly amounted to 651 (91%) with a male gender of 427 students and a female gender of 224 students while those who did not pass (late) correctly amounted to 64 (9%) with a male gender totaling 53 students and female gender totaling 11 students from 2017-2020. Comparison results The R2 score from the C5.0 algorithm reached 96.85% (training) and 93.

Objective: Pneumonia is the leading cause of death in patients with dementia. The efficacy of the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine 23 (PPV23) in these patients is uncertain. This study aims to analyze the role of the PPV23 on preventing community pneumonia in Alzheimer’s disease and Mixed Dementia patients. Method: It is a retrospective cohort study. Vaccinated and non-vaccinated patients were compared for the following outcomes: diagnosis, hospitalization and death from pneumonia or all causes. Data on the characteristics of 510 individuals older than 60 years with the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or Mixed Dementia were collected at a public outpatient clinic in a city from the South of Brazil, from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2018. Results: From 510 individuals, 237 (46.5%) were vaccinated with PPV23 and 74 (14.5%) had all-cause pneumonia. There was no significant association between PPV23 vaccination and the risk of pneumonia or death. Conclusion: No association between PPV23 and pneumonia or death in dementia patients was found in the studied population. This is the first study with PPV23 exclusively in dementia patients. Future and largest studies should be done to prove the efficacy of this vaccine in this population.
What is Different about Eating Disorders for Those with Autistic Spectrum Condition?
Authors: CM Kelly , CA Kelly
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Eating Disorders (EDs) are increasingly recognised as a common comorbid condition in autistic spectrum condition (ASC). The diagnosis of ASC may be delayed in those who present with EDs, especially in females who account for 90% of such presentations. They often mask autistic symptoms by copying their neurotypical peers. This can have adverse consequences, as standard therapeutic approaches to the management of EDs are often ineffective at achieving complete recovery in those with ASC, even among those whose body weight is restored. Methods: We reviewed the recent literature to explore the common factors defining ED’s in ASC and illustrated this with examples from those with lived experience to define potential for therapeutic strategies. Results: Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is the commonest subtype of ED in ASC and is contributed to by a high prevalence of associated gastrointestinal disorders. Anxiety over sensory issues with taste and smell are often a significant factor. Biosocial factors such as cognitive rigidity, obsession, compulsion and rigidity are also important. The role of specific issues such as alexithymia, hyperactivity, rejection sensitive dysphoria, personality disorder and gender dysphoria has been previously understated. EDs are likely to be less to do with body image and more to be a consequence of rigid or ritualistic behaviour patterns driven by ASC. Conclusions: Treatment approaches must account for the unique challenges faced by this group. Art and drama therapy may be of help. Cognitive Remediation Therapy, dietitian-led interventions and clinician/carer/patient education have been proposed but have not yet been trialled extensively. We recommend that involvement of those with lived experience of these conditions is an essential part of treatment planning
High-Dose Levothyroxine for Bipolar Disorder; the Potential Role of Thyroid Function and Genetic Tests. Report from Twenty Cases.

Rationale: Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder (RCBPD) is a malignant course of bipolar disorder (BPD). The condition is associated with several co-morbidities and is difficult to treat. Supra- physiologic doses of levothyroxine (average 482 µg/day) (High-Dose Levothyroxine, HDL) have proven effective for treatment resistant BPD. It is unclear exactly how HDL benefits patients with BPD. Objectives: In this paper, we present the retrospective analysis of clinical notes of 20 patients in remission from RCBPD for at least six months, who received HDL (150-1000 µg; median 472 µg/day). We examine the role of Thyroid function tests (TFTs) and genetic testing. We aim to demonstrate the utility of these tests for patient selection and response prediction for HDL. Findings: All patients recovered with minimal side effects with no treatment discontinuations. One patient required a dose reduction because of palpitations and sweating. Seventeen patients had concomitant Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). Ten patients (50%) required one psychotropic in the acute phase, two patients (10%) required two and eight patients (40%) required only HDL. Following remission, 11 patients (55%) were on HDL only. The average pre-treatment ratio of free T4 (thyroxine, fT4): free T3 (triiodothyronine, fT3) was 4:1, with fT4 increasing post-treatment to 5:1 while fT3 remained largely normal. Nineteen patients had single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) of DIO1, DIO2 , or both. One subject requiring 400 µg had a SNP in the SLCO1C1 thyroid carrier. A high fT4:fT3 noted as early as day 10 during treatment supports a role for DIO polymorphisms. Conclusions: This preliminary report demonstrates the usefulness of a high fT4/fT3 ratio in the second week as a predictive test for patient selection and response prediction for HDL. Recently we have developed a treatment protocol combining HDL and rTMS.
Long-term Remission of Secondary Nocturnal Enuresis achieved by eradication of presumed Central Nervous System Infectious Etiology
Authors: Sarnat Richard L.
Published: February 2022

While “miraculous healings” or spontaneous remissions of various disease states have been scientifically reported previously, the exact mechanism, which allow for these seeming miracles or spontaneous remissions is poorly understood. By contrast, I have recently published multiple case studies, which have included the “miraculous healings” of Sarcoidosis, Chronic Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s disease, severe chronic debilitating plantar arthritis and Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma without the use of pharmaceuticals or antibiotics and where the mechanism of action used to initiate the “miraculous healing” appears to have a cause-and-effect relationship and thus is reproducible. This case report now adds long-term remission of secondary nocturnal enuresis to the previous six case studies, which I have observed and now report to be successfully treated by a process, which Master John Douglas refers to as “Angelic Reformation.” These case reports are representative of the many hundreds of case studies I have documented (although most yet unpublished) over a twelve-year period, while observing the work of Master John Douglas and the graduates of his Elite Development course. While certainly inspiring, admittedly all of these observations must ultimately be subjected to additional rigorous scientific methodology. Yet, the sheer number of miraculous healings I have observed and the fact that this body of knowledge can be taught to others who obtain similarly effective results is very promising, given our current confusion regarding the exact mechanisms of action and/or causation of autoimmune diseases, Parkinson’s disease, chronic debilitating arthropathies, most cancers, and the wide variety of psychiatric disorders for which we have less than optimal treatment options.
What Means Wellbeing? Distinction of Two Discourses on Well-being -Conceptual and Theoretical Reflections
Authors: K Wistoft
Published: February 2022

The article offers a new contribution to an existing discussion about well-being in defining the difference between a public health discourse and a pedagogical discourse, and the difference between a causal logical and a reflectivity paradigm, build on empirical informed theoretical analysis. The principal conclusion is: If efforts to promote well-being can be seen as a cross-professional responsibility, it is crucial that the relevant professionals meet across these well-being discourses, that children and young people’s well-being is viewed as a complex matter and challenge, and that professionals are challenged on their understanding, and capable of meeting different expectations, of well-being.

Background: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is associated with depressed lung function. This depressed lung function can be improved by slow breathing exercise. Objectives: To observe FEF25-75% in newly diagnosed Major Depressive Disorder patients and after three months of regular practice of slow breathing exercise. Methods: This prospective study was carried out in the Department of Physiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) from January to December, 2014 to assess the lung function status in MDD patients. For this, 30 newly diagnosed MDD patients (group A1), age 20 to 50 years were enrolled from the Department of Psychiatry of BSMMU. FEF 25-75% of all subjects were assessed by a portable digital spirometer (PONY FX, Cosmed, Italy) before and after (A2) three months of regular practice of slow breathing exercise. For statistical analysis, paired sample ‘t’ test was done and p value ≤ 0.05 is considered as level of significance. Results: There was significant improvement of lung function status found when compared between before and after three months of regular practicing of slow breathing exercise. Conclusion: From this study it may be concluded that SBE is very effective and potent method for improvement of poor lung function associated with all types of pulmonary functional disorder in MDD.
