Field experiment was conducted at National Cereals Research Institute (NCRI),Uyo out- Station in 2012 and 2013 to evaluated yield and post-harvest pest status of some yam landraces in Nigeria. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD), replicated thrice. Treatments were eight white yam landraces; Nwopoko, Obiotorugo, Offala, Hambakwashe, Aloshi, Udeanyi, Pepa and Eteme and one improved yam cultivar TDr 89/02665. Data obtained from yield and pest severity were subjected to analysis of variance. Result showed that Hambakwase produced significant tuber yield of 31.10 and 33.01 t/ha in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Obioturugo produced 28.18 and 28.02 t/ha, respectively. Eteme produced the least tuber yield of 16.23 and 15.33 t/ha. Udanyi had significant higher number of rotten tubers per plot at harvest; 2.41 and 2.08 in both years. At 3 months in storage, Offala had significant dry rot of 1.73 and 2.01, followed by 1.61 and 0.91 dry rot tubers per plot, recorded in Aloshi. Number of wet rot tubers per plot as influenced by white yam landraces at 3 months storage varied significantly different (p<0.05). Udanyi had significant higher number of wet tuber rot; 4.30 and 3.22 in 2012 and 2013. Presence of mealy bug infestation were seen Offala, Aloshi,Udanyi and Eteme in 2012. In 2013, Offala, Udanyi, Eteme and TDr 89/02665 had mealy bug infestation. .Among the yam landraces, scale insects were observed in the following; Obioturugo, Hambakwase and Udanyi in 2012 while in 2013, Obioturugo, Udanyi and Eteme had presence of scale insect in tubers at 3 months storage. This study therefore recommended Hambakwase and Nwopok for high tuber yield, less susceptible to rot, beetle and termite attack. Also, these promising yam landraces showed be incorporated into yam breeding programme in Nigeria.

Organ transplantation represents a survival for patients who suffer from limitations. The transplant patient is someone who has generally suffered many deprivations due to their underlying pathology and has the desire to resume their routine. Exercise has proved to be an important ally in this recovery. Several benefits are observed with the practice of physical activity: prevention of osteoporosis, prevention of diabetes and hypertension, muscle mass gain, improvement in sleep quality and mood, minimization of immunosuppressant side effects. Although there is no consensus on exercise protocols for transplant patients, the advantages provided by their practice are observed, so that exercises should be stimulated after being released by the medical team and accompanied by a physical education professional. Objective: The study aims to determine the impact of the “if you move tx” exercise program on the quality of life of transplant recipients. Method: For that, the method used was the application of a questionnaire (google docs) addressing issues in this area. The questionnaire consists of four sections: questions of personal presentation, aspects that improved after joining the program with scores from 0 to 5, questions to define items such as exercise, transplantation, disposition, care, balance, quality of life and finally, leaving a comment if you wanted. The questionnaire was sent to the virtual communication group so that it could be answered. Results: The results were obtained through the analysis of the collected data demonstrated by the google docs platform itself through graphs showing the percentages reached in the answers related to the questions addressed, allowing a visualization of the different scores attributed to each question. Conclusion: it was concluded that the referred exercise program had positive impacts on several aspects of quality of life, such as strength gain, self-esteem, improvements in medical exam parameters, etc.

Sertaconazole is a pharmaceutical product in the form of a cream, gel, powder, and solution for dermatological use and vaginal cream, tablets, and ovules for gynecological use. The active ingredient is 2% sertaconazole nitrate. Sertaconazole nitrate is an azole antifungal agent, with notable antifungal activity. The active principal structure of sertaconazole has an asymmetric carbon, which makes this molecule chiral and it is in the form of an enantiomeric mixture. Currently, the control of drugs is based on qualitative and quantitative analysis by the use of effective analytical methods for chiral active ingredients. The enantiomeric separation of an antifungal compound, Sertaconazole, using HPLC is described in this work. The columns employed were based on polysaccharide derivatives (Chiralpak IB, Chiralcel OD-H), and the results show that the separations obtained are better, in terms of high resolution and short analysis time. Chiral separation of Sertaconazole was explained by hydrogen bondings and π-π interactions, between the CSP and this antifungal agent.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare tumors that appear with secondary symptoms based on the release of vasoactive peptides and hormones into the blood as an answer to a signal from the nervous system. Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the colon are epithelial neoplasms with neuroendocrine differentiation and are classified in step with the foremost recent WHO 2022 classification as well- differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma- mas (NECs. NETs can be divided into serotonin-producing enterochromaffin-cell neuroendocrine tumor and glicentin-PYY-producing L-cell neuroendocrine tumor. Compared to NECs, NETs are often idle lesions occurring as incidental findings, being generally characterized by indolent course and relatively frequent ab- since of specific symptoms, which underscores the significance of establishing a prompt and accurate diagnosis, colonic neuroendocrine tumors generally presenting as a large tumor with local or distant metastasis (generally liver) at the time of diagnosis. While utmost colon NETs are considered non-aggressive tumors, a few cases may show a more aggressive clinical course. Clinical/pathological characteristics to select cases at high threat of recurrence/metastases are sadly inadequately consolidated. Diagnosis is based on the combination of clinical presentation, biochemical markers, endoscopy, imaging and confirmed by histopathology. Differential diagnostic for NETs can cause various problems: the rare appendiceal tubular and clear cell variants (which may be confused with non-neuroendocrine cancers). This review presents the updates in established diagnostic tests and tests that require further development, investigation, and validation before use [1,7].

Objectives Testing the hypothesis about the presence of a long-term negative effect of Internet practices on the arbitrariness of speech in adults. Methods The study is based on a retrospective approach, which is a combination of an ex post facto research and a cross section. The participants in the control group were adults (n = 50; 20 men, 30 women; age 46.9±6.14) who keep the habit of traditional print reading. The experimental group consisted of individuals (n = 50; 20 men, 30 women; age 45.1±6.16) who abandoned this habit in favor of Internet practices. The evaluation of arbitrariness of speech was carried out using the method of "Opposites" (Susanna Rubinstein). Groups for the cross-sectional study were, on the one hand, a "pre-digital" person (rate of implementation of the method by healthy adults until 2000); on the other hand, modern young people (n=50; 20 young men, 39 young women; age 19.58±0.94). Results The cross section allowed to determine the following hierarchy in order of the arbitrariness deterioration: 1) pre-digital person; 2) modern adult reader; 3) modern active Internet users of different ages. The ex post facto research found significant reductions in the indicators of arbitrariness of speech in the experimental group, which are presented in two types of deformations: “weakening of control” (deformation coefficient – two) and “weakness of control in combination with lexical deficit” (deformation coefficient – seven). Conclusion The results obtained do not contradict the hypothesis about the deformation of cognitive functions in adults as a long-term effect of the Internet use. The idea of cognitive unloading mechanism, which explains the appearance of cognitive deformations through the specifics of Internet information coding, is expressed.

Authors:   Isfahan university of medical sciences, Iran, Taheri Alireza
Published: January 2024

Clinical convention suggests that foot posture and movements are adversely affected by Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and cause walking difficulties but there is little objective data to support or refute these beliefs. This study explores static foot posture in people with MS and their relationship to walking disability and limitations. This is a cross-sectional study that was conducted in the multiple scoliosis specialist department of Kashani Hospital in Isfahan on 44 patients with MS with mobility limitations. The indices for determining foot posture index (FPI), demographic characteristics, expanded disability status scale (EDSS), and walking scale(msws-12) were investigated. About one-third of participants had abnormal foot posture, which wasn’t associated with walking limitations. Most (80%) had a symmetrical foot posture with similar frequencies of supination (9%) and pronation (11/5/%) abnormalities. There was no relationship between foot posture and walking limitation and expanding disability. A minority of people with MS had abnormal or asymmetrical foot posture and equal numbers suffered pronation and supination abnormalities; these findings challenge the beliefs that underpin the clinical management of MS-related foot problems.

Published: January 2024

The study evaluated the variability of some plants and ears parameters in maize, and the possibility of estimating the productivity elements at the ear level depending on the plants status parameters. The study was done in the area of Sanmihaiu Roman, Timis County, Romania. The maize hybrid DKC 5075 was cultivated in a non-irrigated system, with an appropriate culture technology. The number of leaves during the vegetation period (Ln-v), the number of leaves at harvest (Ln-h) was evaluated, and the height of the plants (Ph) and the diameter of the plant stem (Pd) were also determined. Determinations were made regarding the length of the ear (El), the diameter of the ear (Ed), the weight of the ear (Ew) and the number of grains per ear (Gn). In the climatic conditions specific to the agricultural year 2021 - 2022, the variability recorded, based on the coefficient of variation (CV) at the level of the studied parameters, was: CVPh=30.4824 for plant height; CVPd=9.8659 for the diameter of the plant stem; CVLn-v=13.2348 for the number of leaves in vegetation; CVLn-v=23.1179 for the number of leaves at harvest; CVEl=12.3450 for the length of the ear; CVEd=10.9924 for the diameter of the ear; CVEw=23.5464 for the weight of the ear; CVGn=17.5084 for the number of grains per ear. Different correlations were recorded between parameters studied at the level of plants and maize ears. Interdependence relationships between the studied parameters were described by linear equations (e.g. Ew in relation to Ed) and polynomial equations (e.g. Ew in relation to Gn). The Ew variation was estimated in relation to Ph and Ln-v according to R2=0.713 (Multiple R=0.845), and in relation to Pd and Ln-v according to R2=0.730 (Multiple R=0.854). The variation of Gn was estimated in relation to Ph and Ln-v according to R2=0.856 (Multiple R=0.925). 3D models and as isoquants were obtained to graphically described the variation of the weight of the ears (Ew) and the number of grains (Gn) in relation to the considered parameters of the plants.

Published: January 2024

Based on remote sensing, the study analyzed the dynamics of a wheat crop using regression analysis to estimate production in relation to the NDMI, NDVI, MSAVI and NBR indices. The wheat crop considered in the study, was located in the area of Sacalaz, Timis county, Romania. Seven series of satellite images were taken, between February and June 2021. Based on the spectral information, the NDMI, NDVI, MSAVI and NBR indices were calculated and series of 595 values were obtained for each index. Very strong correlations were recorded between NBR and NDMI (r=0.999***), between MSAVI and NDVI (r=0.994***), between NBR and MSAVI (r=0.919**), between NDVI and NDMI ( r=0.911) and between NBR and NDVI (r=0.909**). Polynomial equations described the variation of NBR in relation to NDMI (R2=0.987), in relation to MSAVI (R2=0.794) and in relation to NDVI (R2=0.795). The variation of indices in relation to time, during the study period, was described by polynomial equations of the 2nd and 3rd degree, under statistical accuracy conditions (R2=0.854 for NDMI; R2=0.919 for NDVI; R2=0.956 for MSAVI, and R2=0.873 for NBR). Through the regression analysis, the wheat production was predicted, based on the calculated indices, and in different combinations of indices. The highest level of accuracy in the prediction of wheat production was recorded in the case of using the NDMI and NBR indices (p<0.001, RMSPE=0.24847), followed by the analysis variant in which the NDVI and MSAVI indices were considered (p=0.0002, RMSEP=1.59084) and the analysis variant in which NDVI and NBR indices were used (p=0.00081, RMSEP=5.20218). Graphical models, in 3D format and in the form of isoquants, have described the variation of wheat production in relation to the NDMI, NDVI, MSAVI and NBR indices.

Cancer, a global health menace, continues to pose significant challenges in terms of incidence and mortality, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies. Despite existing treatments, the limitations persist, prompting a quest for novel approaches. The emergence of immunotherapy marked a transformative era in solid tumor treatments, yet its efficacy is constrained by adverse effects. Concurrently, the integration of advanced technologies into cancer treatment explores the vast potential residing at the molecular level through gene analysis and manipulation. This review articulates the role of state-of-the-art genome editing technology, notably clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR-Cas9), in overcoming the constraints of immunotherapy for cancers. Unveiling the intricacies of CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing, the review introduces the formidable CRISPR toolbox. A spotlight is cast on the transformative impact of CRISPR-induced double-strand breaks (DSBs) on cancer immunotherapy, encompassing knockout and knock-in strategies. The utilization of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in pre-clinical cancer research has demonstrated notable success; however, its transition to the clinical setting remains in the nascent stages of development. This review aims to elucidate the fundamental aspects of CRISPR technology and offer a comprehensive survey of its existing applications while outlining its prospective role in the realm of cancer therapies. Through an exploration of CRISPR's mechanisms, current applications, and anticipated future potentials, this review provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of CRISPR-based cancer treatment strategies.

Several pharmaceutical companies have long complained that the price of medicines that win the e-catalogue tender is too low, in some cases even below the cost of production. However, it should not be a concern that only pharmaceutical products with regulation of Indonesian food and drug (BPOM) distribution licenses are eligible for the price tender, as they are of good quality. This study aims to determine the quality and potency of three antibiotic drugs based on their highest utilization (DU 90%) in pneumonia patients at two hospitals, A (ceftriaxone, azithromycin tablet) and B (ceftriaxone, levofloxacin infusion) compared to brand name. The quality of the samples was evaluated following the Indonesian Pharmacopoeia 6th Edition (FI-VI). Antibiotic potency was assessed using the Plate-Cylinder Method with K. pneumonia from human and S. pneumonia ATCC 10015 as the test bacteria evaluated following CLSI. All samples meet the criteria of FI-VI antibiotic content, weight uniformity, dissolution. Antibiotic potency all samples test S.pneumonia and K.pneumonia were sensitive but ceftriaxone test with K.pneumonia was resistance. All antibiotic tablets and injections studied met the requirements of the Indonesian Pharmacopoeia Edition 6 for active medicinal ingredient content, dosage weight uniformity, and dissolution. All drugs from hospitals (INN) have lower antibiotic potency than branded drugs. This highlight the importance of conducting microbiological testing on antibiotic preparations.

The current research focuses on landslide assessment and hazard zonation in the Birbir Mariam district of the Gamo Highlands. The study examined landslide causative factors and used the slope susceptibility evaluation parameter to create a landslide hazard zonation covering an area of 110 square kilometers. The landslide hazard zonation was classified using facet-wise observation. As a result, the intrinsic and external causal parameters of score schemes have been held responsible for slope instability. Inherent causative elements consist of slope geometry, slope material (rock or soil), structural discontinuities, land use or land cover, and groundwater conditions. Rainfall and human interest have seemed like external elements. The intrinsic and external triggering elements for every facet (a total of 106) were rated for their contribution to slope instability. Finally, an evaluated landslide hazard value was calculated and classified into three landslide hazard classes. According to the findings, the area has a high hazard zone of 18.87 percent (20.76 km2), a moderate hazard zone of 54.72 percent (60.19 km2), and a low hazard zone of 26.41 percent (29.05 km2). The methodology employed in this investigation, as well as the resulting landslip susceptibility zonation map, were both reliable and applicable to other places with similar geology and topographic circumstances.

Kekurangan energi kronik merupakan kondisi yang disebabkan karena adanya ketidakseimbangan asupan gizi antara  energi dan protein, sehingga zat gizi yang dibutuhkan tubuh tidak tercukupi. Tujuan pengabdian masyarakat agar ibu-ibu termotivasi dalam menjaga kenaikan berat badan dan pencegahan kekurangan energi kronik (kek) lebih dini di Desa Tottong Tahun 2023. Metode pelaksanaannya dibagi menjadi tiga tahap. Pertama menyiapkan kegiatan dilokasi penyuluhan dan tahap kedua menyiapkan ibu hamil dengan bekerja sama dengan pihak puskesmas, pemerintahan desa dan ibu kader. Kegiatan ini dihadiri 10 ibu hamil yang bermasalah dengan nilai pretes 52,6% dan nilai post tes 84,2%. Ibu hamil ini memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang kurang terkait kenaikan berat badan selama hamil. Hasil kegiatan ini disimpulkan bahwa tingkat kematangan umur dan kekuatan seseorang yang dianggap cukup akan lebih matang dalam berfikir, sedangkanjika umur responden masih muda maka tingkat kematangan berpikirnya juga kurang. Berdasarkan pendidikan terakhir sebagian besar yaitu 64,1% responden dengan pendidikan SMP dan tidak ada yang tamat perguruan tinggi. Hal ini sesuai dengan hasil penelitian yang menyatakan bahwa ibu hamil yang baik Sebagian besar dengan Pendidikan Sarjana, dengan demikian rendahnya tingkat pendidikan dapat menyebabkan rendahnya pengetahuan dan keterbatasan dalam mendapatkan informasi mengenai cara mencegah stunting pada ibu hamil.

In the emerging time of the new National Education Policy, the current scenario of the education system demands multiple changes for the sustainable future of the nation, and the present and upcoming generations. The present education system is good enough to increase the literacy rate, however, a state like Kerala has a hundred percent literacy rate compared to any other state of India; yet for employment and education, a major part of the population of the state migrates to various states or countries. The high literacy rate is no more a concern of time; people are quite aware of the social things around them without formal education, due to social media or the revolution of technology. However, the recent trends in every field need an upgraded version of formal education. The fourth goal out of UNESCO’s sixteen SDGs focuses on quality education for a better future. The present research paper discusses the current situation of the Indian education system and the implementation of the new approaches required for a strong education policy through the newly emerging NEP for the welfare of the progeny and the country, which also supports UNESCO’s SDGs for global welfare. The research is developed on secondary data with critical analysis and exhaustive reading. Besides this abstract provides a concise overview of the key global dynamics shaping the field of teacher education in the 21st century. In an era characterized by rapid technological advancements, cultural diversity, and evolving educational philosophies, teacher education faces complex challenges and promising opportunities. This paper explores the multifaceted landscape of global dynamics in teacher education, including policy harmonization, technology integration, inclusivity, 21st-century competencies, professional development, research-based practices, sustainability, public-private partnerships, teacher shortages, and crisis preparedness. This abstract underscore the critical importance of addressing these global dynamics in teacher education to meet the evolving needs of learners and societies worldwide. Policymakers, educators, institutions, and researchers must work collaboratively to navigate these challenges and seize the opportunities they present, ultimately shaping a brighter future for education on a global scale.
