Soil and plant responses to controlled traffic farming in Switzerland
Authors: Anken Thomas , Holpp Martin , Rek Jan , Weisskopf Peter
Published: May 2021

A long-term tillage experiment in Tänikon, Switzerland showed that compared to ploughed plots, untilled plots developed a compact soil structure with decreased porosity and a trend towards lower oxygen concentration in the soil air. All these factors resulted in lower plant yields. To investigate the influence of wheeling on these plots, the shallow-tilled plots were converted to controlled traffic farming (CTF) with no-tillage in 2008. The hypothesis is that a sustainable improvement in soil structure and plant development is achievable in areas with no traffic. In a field trial with four repeated blocks, ‘CTF no-tillage’ was compared with ‘random trafficked mouldboard ploughing’ and ‘random trafficked no-tillage’. The crop rotation was winter wheat – winter barley – meadow, established on luvisol (23% clay, 34% silt, 42% sand) with an annual rainfall of 1190mm and an average annual temperature of 8.4 °C. An intensive monitoring programme was set up for various parameters: Soil-surface-level changes, penetration resistance, macropore volume, soil-air composition, matric potential, volumetric soil-water content, emergence rate, intermediate harvests and harvest yield. Results for 2008 to 2011 show that traffic has a clearly negative impact on soil structure in all variants, even when wheelings are done with low tyre-inflation pressure. Traffic-induced soil-surface-level changes were small, but nonetheless affected the soil’s physical parameters. Soil penetration resistance is higher and soil oxygen content after precipitations lower in the trafficked areas than in traffic-free zones. Yield effects were not as pronounced as in other published field trials. CTF and no-tillage achieved approximately the same yield levels, but routine ploughing resulted in the highest yields. CTF leads to a certain improvement in the soil structure, but the plant response showed that more improvement is necessary to optimise yields.
Lateral translocation of surface soil by various no-till narrow point openers

Published: May 2021

Australian no-till farming often uses narrow point openers to open the soil and place seed and fertilizer in a furrow. They are generally used in conjunction with spraying of herbicides for weed control and press-wheels to pack soil over seeds. These openers when operating at speeds beyond 8 km/h can create excessive soil throw which creates problems of increased weed burden and reduced seeding quality, which can also enhance crop establishment risks due to herbicide damage and soil moisture loss. This work uses the results of surface PVC tracer displacement to estimate the likely movement of soil applied pre-emergent herbicide, typically incorporated during the no-till seeding operation, and evaluate the effects of furrow opener geometry. Three variations to opener design were evaluated; four rake angles of 35, 53, 72 and 90°, three leading edge conditions of blunt, chamfered one side and chamfered both sides, and a range of five bent leg openers. The effect of the various narrow opener geometries on soil movement and furrow profile were evaluated in a soil bin with a sandy loam soil and at a forward speed of 8.2 km/h and a depth of 120 mm. Results showed that the openers with various rake angles all threw surface soil at least 300 mm from the center and this would land in an adjacent furrow when used at typical row spacings. A low rake angle of 35° had the least lateral surface soil movement and the 53° rake angle gave the widest band of soil, along the tool path, that was cleared of surface tracers. Adding a chamfer to the leading edge reduced lateral soil movement when compared to a blunt opener. The bent leg opener achieved much lower soil movement while loosening a furrow, and when combined with a single sided chamfer was able to virtually eliminate throwing of soil out of the furrow and hence would have no effect on adjacent furrows. The concept of bent leg furrow openers has the potential to change the dynamics of soil disturbance when no-till seeding with tine openers.
Performance of Eucalyptus tereticornis provenances in subtropical climate
Authors: Gonzalez Chaves Milena Daiana , Resquín Fernando , Balmelli Gustavo
Published: May 2021

Eucalyptus tereticornis has a wide natural geographic distribution from Papua New Guinea to South Australia (6º-38º S), therefore, it is expected the existence of important differences among provenances. Although differences in performance among provenances have been reported in several countries, the existing information is insufficient to allow the choice of the most appropriate provenance as a source of seeds for commercial plantations for humid subtropical climates. In order to evaluate the performance of 20 provenances of E. tereticornis in Uruguay and to generate information that contributes to the identification of the best provenances for humid subtropical climates, survival, individual tree volume, stem straightness and forking were assessed at 9-years-old in 4 sites in the center, north and northeast of Uruguay. Significant differences among provenances for all traits and significant provenance by site interaction for survival, individual tree volume and forking were found. No provenance was best in all sites. The Buckenbowra provenance had simultaneously high volume and survival. The absence of a clear regionalization, coupled with a significant provenance-by site interaction, suggests that local evaluation of different provenances is essential to identify appropriate seed sources, both for tree breeding and for use in commercial plantations.

Published: May 2021

The need for increasing fruit industry competitiveness makes evaluation of production technology essential to reduce costs and to obtain fruit quality. The Kym Green Bush (KGB) system does not need support (lower cost of installation), plant vigor is controlled by dividing the axis into several temporary vertical ones, allowing the use of a wide range of rootstocks. The UFO (Upright Fruiting Offshoots) system shares the concepts of the KGB but has a supporting structure (posts, wires). The objective of this study was to evaluate the behavior of Lapins grafted onto sl64 and Pontaleb rootstocks, trained in the KGB, UFO and Central Axis (CA) systems. The trial was planted in 2014 at a distance of 2.5m × 4m (KGB and UFO) and at 2m × 4m (CA). Tree cultural practices were applied, and trunk cross sectional area, number of branches per tree, yield and fruit quality (size, soluble solids, titratable acidity, firmness and color) were measured. The KGB system was the easiest to implement and it gave the more vigorous plants in both combinations; the SL64 rootstock being more vigorous than Pontaleb. The KGB and UFO systems reduced winter pruning wages by 74 and 48%, respectively. Moreover, the Lapins/Pontaleb combination was more productive in all training systems. The KGB training system also allowed harvesting and pruning without the use of ladders.

Published: May 2021

En la provincia de Jujuy, extremo noroccidental de Argentina, se distinguen cuatro regiones ambientales: valles templados, valles cálidos, quebrada y puna. El valle templado es un valle húmedo de clima templado en invierno, se estiman de 350 a 550 horas frío. Cuenta con 30000 ha bajo riego. La actividad principal es la tabacalera, además se desarrolla la horticultura y la fruticultura. La producción frutícola es una alternativa viable económica y agroclimáticamente, con antecedentes de más de 50 años, cuando se introdujeron almendros, higueras, chirimoyos y durazneros, entre otros. La producción que continúa en crecimiento y con incorporación de tecnología es la de duraznos. Los cultivares que se cultivan en la zona tienen características de primicia y de extraprimicia (cosechas de septiembre a diciembre). La condición agroecológica de los valles templados es adecuada para una producción muy temprana, no equiparable a ninguna otra zona del país, con lo cual obtiene grandes ventajas competitivas en los mercados nacionales. Al Mercado Central de Buenos Aires ingresan anualmente, desde Jujuy, 1.300 toneladas de duraznos, esta fruta marca la tendencia de la temporada y la convierte en la principal zona de primicia de duraznos de Argentina. Desde las instituciones del medio (INTA-FCA-UNJU) se trabaja mancomunadamente con el sector frutícola y se han podido realizar importantes avances en la tecnología de producción: densidades de plantación, índices de cosecha, carta de colores para la cosecha, información de mercados, estudios de mercado y análisis de oportunidades comerciales, manejo del cultivo y mejoramiento genético.

The Total Amount and Composition Determination of Crocetin and Its Derivatives from Gardenia Yellow by HPLC-MS-MS
Authors: Hui Bodi
Published: May 2021

Consisting of crocetin derivatives as major color materials, gardenia yellow is a water-soluble food colorant extracted from the fruits of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. However, as color materials, the total crocetin and its derivative amount and composition cannot be determined because the structures of some crocetin derivatives are currently unknown and the commercially-available reference sample is still short. This study aims to develop a method for the total amount and composition determinations of crocetin and its derivatives from gardenia yellow. In practice, the absorption coefficient of each crocetin derivative is calculated from that of crocetin and the negative correlation of absorbance with molecular mass of each derivative, while the molecular mass of each crocetin derivative is substituted by the m/z value of its parent ion on MS. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of reproducibility was 3.17%. The recovery of added external reference sample was ≥97±1.61%. The minimum detection limit was 7.44μg/mL.
Design of a Portable Pulse Oximeter
Authors: Estefanía Macian Canto
Published: May 2021

Oximetry is a technique that allows the evaluation of oxygen levels in the blood in patients who suffer from a pulmonary disorder or present a respiratory pathology. The main objective of this research is the design of a portable pulse oximeter, which corrects the problems of the oximeter previously developed by the ICID, due to the module used at defined low perfusion levels (modulation index of 0.4% and lower), It had difficulties to synchronize with the patient's pulses and for severe low perfusion conditions (signals with a modulation index of 0.2% and less), the module did not operate. With respect to past designs, this project incorporates an oximetry module produced by recognized companies in this field, thus eradicating the deficiencies of the previous models. The components were updated, using, for example, an LCD screen, a DC / DC converter, optocouplers and the MSP430F2618 microcontroller which is very suitable for this design, as it contains sufficient resources in data and program memory. The design of the schematics of each circuit that makes up the oximeter is carried out. As well as the development of firmware programming, based on the graphic design of the algorithms of the main functions of the equipment.
Decreased Mortality of COVID-19 with Anticoagulants and Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients with High Risk of Thromboembolism a Meta-Analysis
Authors: Deng Qiao
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: The clinical presentation of patients with COVID-19 varied considerably, ranging from asymptomatic infection to severe pneumonia that may lead to coagulation abnormality and pulmonary thromboembolism. Targeted antithrombotic therapy may be beneficial to reduce the incidence of thromboembolism in patients with COVID-19. METHODS: We will conduct a systematic review based on searches of major databases (PUBMED, Web of Science and EMBASE) and clinical trial registries from inception to present. The search strategy included clinical date published until Aug 12, 2020. All published randomized retrospective, control and quasi-randomized trials, and observational studies related to antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy for COVID-19 patients with high risk of thromboembolism will be included. The primary outcome was death events, secondary outcome was disease severity of COVID-19. We used Review Manager 5.3 software to calculate the odds ratio and corresponding 95% CI. The χ2 test (assessing the P) and the I2 statistic were performed to estimate the heterogeneity. RESULTS: Compared with non-antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy, antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy was not associated with disease severity (odds ratio, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.41–1.21], P=0.20, I2=52%) but was related to lower mortality of COVID-19 in patients with high risk of embolism (odds ratio, 0.33 [95% CI, 0.24–0.47], P<0.001, I2=8%). CONCLUSION: Current evidence suggested that antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy should be continued in COVID-19 patients with high risk of thromboembolism. the majority of patients with severe COVID‐19 should have received similar supportive treatment after admission.

Christian N Barnard: A Man Who Dared the First Human to Human Heart Transplant
Authors: Anisuzzaman Md.
Published: May 2021

Heart transplant had already developed by a group of US surgeons in the early 1950s, and it was the American pioneer Norman Shumway who validated the technical feasibility in a dog model at Stanford University in 1958. This milestone in medicine was the beginning of a huge race for numerous physicians and researchers to make this operation a clinical reality. Barnard was intrigued by the idea to perform heart transplantation at Groote Schuur Hospital and therefore made it a major focus in his department in the early 1960s. While Shumway and co-workers were further refining the surgical technique in these year, based on his extensive cardio-surgical experience, Barnard was already convinced about the technical feasibility and wanted to enter this new field of cardiac surgery. To accomplish his goal, he recognized that he had to learn more about immunosuppressive therapy and therefore he spent a few months in Richmond, VA, USA, to obtain this important knowledge for postoperative care. In 1966, when Shumway and colleagues announced that they would be ready for a first human patient, Barnard moved ahead of them on 3 December 1967, and performed the world’s first human-to-human heart transplantation.

Paclitaxel Mortality in Peripheral Artery Disease
Authors: Ghali Abdullah
Published: May 2021

Peripheral artery disease is a matter of global concern that affects 200 million people and is associated with decreased arterial perfusion in the extremities. The most plausible pathomechanism involves the formation of atheromas which subsequently cause occlusive atherosclerosis that impinge blood supply. Atheroma formation involves endothelial dysfunction with an accumulation of LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) that subsequently become oxidized and consumed by macrophages to form foam cells. The foam cells will release factors such as MMPs (Matrix metalloproteinases) and PDGF (platelet derived growth factor) that induce the proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells, forming atheroma. Furthermore, endothelial cell damage can cause a loss of protective mechanisms, such as a reduction in the release of protective vasodilatory prostaglandins and Nitric Oxide. Atherosclerosis formation also decreases oxygen diffusion to the arterial media, resulting in atrophy in the vessel wall and ischemia. Additionally, chronic transmural inflammation cyclically releases increased MMPs and elastases that expand the arterial wall while degrading the protective collagen.

Solid Waste Management Practices and Raising Environmental Concerns: A Case Study of Gangtok Municipal Corporation Areas, Sikkim
Authors: Indira Khangembam
Published: May 2021

Municipal solid waste is a growing concern in the urban localities across the nations. In recent years, urban local bodies have shown considerable importance to address the issue of solid waste management. The paper attempts to understand the role of Gangtok Municipal Corporation (GMC) in collection, transportation and disposal of solid waste, the nature of its collaboration with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), people’s participation in handling waste and its consequent effect on the environment. The study was carried out by using qualitative research design, employing interviews, focus group discussion and in-depth observation methods with all the important stakeholders such as GMC officials, workers, NGOs, and households. The study finds that the primary focus of the corporation remains on collecting and transporting largely unsegregated mixed waste from the main roads, markets, and other visible places. Although the corporation is working in partnership with the NGOs, it is struggling to implement the SWM rules and failed to collect the user fees efficiently. Findings suggest that even though majority of the people are aware of the ills of burning and dumping garbage, yet people’s participation in SWM related activities is still limited.

The result show that Corruption is seen as an extra ordinary crime, therefore it requires extraordinary efforts to eradicate it. Efforts to eradicate corruption which consists of two major parts, namely prosecution and prevention will never be optimally successful if only carried out by the government without involving public participation. Therefore it is not an exaggeration if students - as an important part of society who are the inheritors of the future - are expected to be actively involved in efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia. Of course, these efforts are still a discourse and the benefits will not be felt in the short term, but in the long term this discourse is believed to be fruitful. If higher education starts, especially PTKIN, it will inspire others, and one day it comes to efforts to draft a legal product with anti-corruption nuances that can be initiated in PTKIN, such as the Bill, Ranperda and the like. Hopefully PTKIN can play a more significant role in the future. Thus, corruption can be minimized and even eliminated from this beloved country, including through optimizing the role of PTKIN.
