THE EFFECT OF SUFĠSM ON THE SPREAD OF ISLAM ĠN TURKĠSTAN
Authors:   Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University, YILMAZ Metin , KARAAĞAÇ Muhammet ,   Sinop Universty
Published: April 2022

There are various approaches to when and how the Turks converted to Islam, such as "by force of arms" or "voluntarily". However, these approaches are insufficient to clarify the matter. Because the spread of Islam among the Turks is a complicated process which takes place over a long period of time and under the influence of different factors. In this process, it shouldn‘t be ignored that the work of Sufis who explained Islam in a polite way had important contributions as well as political, military, social and economic factors. In this study, the effects of the early Sufis, who guided the Islamization of the Turks on the Turks inhabited in the West and Central Asia are discussed. This study aims to reveal the role of Sufis apart from the general opinions about the Islamization of the Turks. As a result of this study, it is found that the Sufis played an important and permanent role on Turks' conversion to Islam by participating in wars in order to spread Islam, making direct communication during the travels of Turkish societies, getting benefit from commercial activities and carrying out formal and informal religious education activities in various institutions such as ribat, hankah, tekke and madrasah.
A Review of the Effects of Soil Compaction and Amelioration Treatments on Landscape Trees
Authors: Day Susan , Bassuk Nina
Published: April 2022

Compacted soil is a frequently encountered problem on urban and community landscape sites. Numerous site amelioration methods and planting techniques have been employed to counteract the harmful effects of soil compaction on plant establishment and growth. Recent research aimed at examining the effectiveness of these techniques has given mixed results. It is evident that compaction restricts woody plant growth, but the nature and causes of the restriction are not completely understood. This is partly a result of the difficulty in separating the effects of interrelated factors such as physical impedance to roots, soil gas exchange, water infiltration and drainage. Consequently, it is difficult to prescribe with confidence techniques to improve compacted soil conditions for landscape trees. A review of our current understanding of soil compaction and its amelioration is presented here from the perspective of woody plant establishment. Index words: bulk density, penetrometer, soil aeration, urban horticulture.

Published: April 2022

Approximately 600 elms on the National Mall in Washington D. C. were surveyed for 6 years for symptoms of bacterial leaf scorch caused byXylella fastidiosa. The mean disease incidence over the course of the study was 30% and increased by approximately 10% over 6 years. Twenty-eight percent of the affected trees had symptoms in more than 25% of their crowns. Symptom severity fluctuated from year to year. Of the trees first detected with symptoms in 1986 only 18% had a higher symptom rating after 6 years, while 51 % had fewer or no symptoms. Trees 20-30 cm dbh were the most affected, while those in the 1-10 cm class were the least affected. Affected trees occurred throughout the planting.

Soil Compaction on Heavily Used Sites
Authors: Craul Phillip
Published: April 2022

Compaction of soil is a detrimental result of heavy human use of a site. The destruction of the associated vegetation is an accompanying feature. Soil compaction commonly causes reduced water infiltration, loss of pore space and increased soil density, decreased waterholding capacity, reduced aeration, increased mechanical impedance to root growth with concomittant decrease in nutrient uptake, and reduction in soil microorganism activity. Amelioration of soil compaction under existing vegetative cover, especially trees, is difficult without some injury to the root systems. Some standard methods of surface soil aeration exist that can be applied to turf and some tree areas, but amelioration of compacted subsoils is very difficult in most cases. For existing trees and their root systems, radial trenching appears to be a promising technique for compaction amelioration.
The Potential for a California Oak Wilt Epidemic
Authors: Appel David N.
Published: April 2022

The relative disease susceptibilities of 14Quercusspecies from Texas and California were tested in three inoculation studies with different isolates of the oak wilt pathogen,Ceratocystis fagacearum. Ten of the oaks were evergreen or semi-evergreen live oaks while the remaining four were deciduous species. The species represented 3 differentQuercussub-genera. All species were susceptible to the pathogen, but there was significant variability in disease response. In the first study, there was variability among different selections of live oak from Texas, and there were distinct differences in disease response among the California oaks in the other two experiments. In two of the studies, the most susceptible species was the exotic cork oak, Q.suber. Q. kelloggii, the only deciduous red oak inoculated, responded similarly toQ. suber, an evergreen white oak. The two evergreen red oaks, Q.agrifoliaand Q.wislizenii, were the least susceptible in one of the studies while the two evergreen “intermediate” oaks, Q.chrysolepisand Q.tomentella, were the least susceptible in another. Significant differences in pathogenicity were observed between two Texas isolates of C.fagacearum. The implications of these results forthe California oak woodlands is discussed.

The banded ash clearwing moth,Podosesia aureocincta, in 24 green ash growing in a nursery were treated with the nematode,Steinernema carpocapsae(strain 25) at two different rates. Eight infested green ash were controls in the field trial. Nematodes were applied in July using a backpack sprayer. Applications of entomopathogenic nematodes significantly reduced the number of living larvae associated with the plants.
Relative Drought Resistance Among Selected Southwestern Landscape Plants
Authors: Tipton Jimmy L.
Published: April 2022

A method of determining drought resistance appears to have promise in identifying superior plants for minimal irrigation landscapes. Under conditions of this test, desert willow had greater resistance to drought than either fruitless mulberry or yellow bells. This can be attributed to a greater tolerance rather than a greater avoidance. Drought tolerance of both desert willow and yellow bells was over 1.5 times that of fruitless mulberry. Fruitless mulberry had as great or greater drought avoidance than the xeric species under dry conditions. Based on these results, desert willow and yellow bells are tolerant water spenders that can convert to water savers. Fruitless mulberry is a relatively intolerant water spender that may not convert to a water saver. If this is confirmed in further studies, then the success of mulberry in the arid Southwest may be attributed to an ability to increase water uptake in times of drought.
Assessing the Feasibility of Collaborative Utility - Municipal Tree Removal and Replanting
Authors: Eckert Kevin , Simpson Peter
Published: April 2022

In June 1993, Newport Electric Company and the City of Newport, Rhode Island collaborated to complete a tree removal and replanting pilot project. This pilot project was initiated to address the situation that large city-owned trees in Newport are potential hazards to the delivery of safe and reliable electric service, and are costly to trim for adequate clearance. The two primary purposes of this project were: 1) to examine the operational feasibility of a collaborative tree removal and replanting project between the City of Newport and Newport Electric Company; and 2) to cost justify participation by Newport Electric in a tree removal and replanting project. Net Present Value (NPV) is offered as a defensible model for determining cost justified participation by the utility because this method for determining financial worthiness is consistent with other business analyzes conducted within the electric utility industry. If considered over the short-term, participation in a tree removal and replanting project cannot be cost justified, because a financial break-even point will not be realized. This project is cost effective when evaluated over the long-term, because the expense of trimming each tree by the utility is ongoing for several cycles. The willingness of the municipality to share the costs was critical in the decision of the utility to participate.
Alternatives for Powdery Mildew Control on Lilac
Authors: Clement David , Gill Stanton , Potts William
Published: April 2022

As part of an effort to develop biorational materials that can be easily incorporated into current nursery and landscape integrated pest management (IPM) strategies we evaluated two horticultural oils, a fatty acid based insecticide (insecticidal soap), sodium bicarbonate, an antitranspirant, and a conventional fungicide for the control of powdery mildew on field grown lilacs. In field trials both horticulturaloils (SunSpray Ultra-Fine and Saf-T-Side), performed as well as the standard fungicide (Bayleton). Horticultural oil combined with sodium bicarbonate in our trials was not significantly different from oil alone. Applications of sodium bicarbonate without oil failed to control powdery mildew and this treatment appeared similar to the control plants sprayed with water. The insecticidal soap (M-pede) was not significantly different from the horticultural oils in our evaluations. The antitranspirant (Cloud Cover) gave only slightly better results than the water treated plants.
Seasonal Effects on Transplantability of Scarlet Oak, Green Ash, Turkish Hazelnut and Tree Lilac
Authors: Harris J. Roger , Bassuk Nina
Published: April 2022

Quercus coccinea (scarlet oak), Fraxinus pennsylvanica (green ash), Corylus colurna (Turkish hazelnut) and Syringa reticulata 'Ivory Silk' (tree lilac) trees were transplanted bare-root throughout the spring and fall planting season. Post-transplant response was compared with the root growth activity of established trees at the time of transplanting. Root growth rate of established trees at transplanting was not related to transplantability. Green ash and tree lilac transplanted well at all dates. Scarlet oak and Turkish hazelnut transplanted poorly during the late spring and early fall, but survival was good in early spring and mid fall.
Potential Defoliation of Trees by Outbreak Populations of Gypsy Moth in the Chicago Area
Authors: Onstad David , Nowak David , Jeffords Michael
Published: April 2022

The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, will soon become established in much of the Midwest. If an outbreak with extremely high population levels of this serious defoliator is allowed to occur in the Chicago area, what kind of damage can be expected? A model for defoliation, refoliation and mortality was developed based on the number of trees and associated leaf biomass for each tree species classified according to its attractiveness to or probability of infestation by gypsy moth. Data for eight land uses in the Chicago metropolitan area were used in the model. Vacant lands, institutional lands dominated by vegetation (e.g., parks, cemeteries, golf courses), and residential areas have the highest tree densities and other characteristics that make them valuable as well as vulnerable to gypsy moth infestation. The highest percentage of most-preferred tree species and highest percent defoliation is predicted to occur on vacant lands, followed by institutional lands dominated by vegetation, and residential areas. The potential defoliation by gypsy moth in the Chicago area is relatively modest, ranging from 14% in Chicago and suburban Cook County to 26% in DuPage County. Localized defoliation can be higher, however, particularly on institutional lands dominated by vegetation and vacant lands, where defoliation estimates range between 23 and 40%. Less than one-tenth of one percent of the total number of trees in the entire Chicago area are predicted to die because of gypsy moth defoliation during an outbreak.
Crabapples: Sales Trends and Consumer Preferences in Iowa
Authors: Lies Jeffery , Stookey Joanna
Published: April 2022

A survey questionnaire was sent to all 180 active members of the Iowa Nursery and Landscape Association to assess the importance of crabapples (Malus sp.) to the nursery and landscape industry in Iowa, identify crabapple taxa offered for sale, and characterize consumer preferences. Most of the respondents (83%) identified crabapples as their customers' preferred flowering tree, with cultivars 'Prairifire', 'Spring Snow', and 'Snowdrift' as the most popular taxa. Slightly less than two-thirds of all respondents indicated they had eliminated certain crabapple selections from their product line. The cultivars 'Radiant' and 'Royalty' were cited most frequently as discontinued taxa, primarily because of disease problems. Businesses must continually evaluate the appropriateness of the crabapple taxa they carry to insure they are offering only those selections with excellent ornamental utility and superior disease resistance.
White Pine Chlorosis in Northern Illinois: Iron Deficiency or Not?
Authors: Messenger A. Steven , Stelford Mark
Published: April 2022

Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) is a prized ornamental. Its natural habitat includes a wide range of soil texture and moisture conditions, leading to the assumption by many that this species can be planted almost anywhere. Its performance in human-altered landscapes demonstrates otherwise. One malady, symptomized by chlorotic foliage, has been dubbed "white pine decline," and because alkaline soil is often associated with this condition, iron deficiency has been postulated. Our studies, conducted over a wide range of soil textures throughout northern Illinois, confirm the negative role of soil alkalinity but lead us to reject the hypothesis of iron deficiency. On the contrary, our data suggest iron efficiency by this species.
Soil Compaction On Construction Sites
Authors: Randrup Thomas
Published: April 2022

Soil compaction was estimated on 17 construction sites and bulk densities were measured from the soil surface to depths of 1.0 m, at 0.1 m intervals, using a nuclear moisture/ density probe. Soil on construction sites was heavily compacted at depths from 0.3 - 0.8 m. Suggestions for a new attitude to soil compaction on construction sites are made.
Red Oak Transplanted to Different Bulk Density Soils have Similar Water Use Characteristics
Authors: Maupin Cathy , Struve Daniel
Published: April 2022

Container-grown red oak (Quercus rubra L.) produced in two bulk density growing media (0.4 or 0.9 g cm*) were transplanted into larger containers filled with Wooster silt loam soil compacted to 1.25,1.50 and 1.75 g cm3 densities. Growing media bulk density affected only the number of shoots elongating; there was no significant difference in stem diameter, shoot length and dry weight, leaf area and dry weight and regenerated root dry weight between plants grown in the low or high bulk density production media. Transplant media bulk density affected stem diameter in shoot length; both were significantly less when plants were transplanted to 1.75 g cm" 3 than to the 1.50 g cm 3 bulk density soil. Water use, expressed either as whole plant or per unit leaf area, was greater for plants transplanted to 1.50 g cm3 bulk density soil than those transplanted to 1.25 or 1.75 g cnr3 soil at only three times during the 80 day water use study period: 39,55 and 69 days after leaf emergence. Transplanting container-grown red oak to high bulk density soils did not greatly affect regrowth potential under nonlimiting soil moisture conditions.
What Makes a Big Tree Special? Insights from the Chicagoland Treemendous Trees Program
Authors: Barro Susan , Gobster Paul , Schroeder Herbert , Bartram Stephen
Published: April 2022

In 1995, a local version of the American Forests big trees program (Treemendous Trees) was initiated in the Chicago area by Openlands Project and the Morton Arboretum. In addition to the numerical information about tree sizes required on the nomination form, many participants attached notes and sometimes lengthy letters that detailed various aspects of the nominated trees. A qualitative analysis of these written materials identified a number of recurrent themes that sometimes went far beyond the physical size dimensions to describe aesthetic and functional values, and symbolic and emotional meanings. This information may help urban foresters better understand the breadth and depth of values people have for urban trees—particularly large ones. Results also have implications for obtaining more and better information from big tree programs, and for using these programs as vehicles for developing collaborative partnerships between urban foresters and citizens in knowledge discovery and sharing.
Evaluation of a Pan Evaporation Model for Estimating Post-Planting Street Tree Irrigation Requirements
Authors: Sivyer David , Harris J. Roger , Persaud Naraine , Appleton Bonnie
Published: April 2022

Budget restraints force many cities to rely on volunteers for street tree irrigation. Reliable, easy to follow recommendations are needed. Using a pan evaporation model created by others, we developed a method for predicting irrigation amount and frequency for street trees and tested it on mulched, 3-in (7.5 cm) caliper, balled and burlapped Pyrus calleryana 'Redspire' (pear) and Betula nigra 'Heritage' (birch) trees five months after planting. The model predicted that root balls should be saturated every 3 days with 10 gal (381) of water. When tested against control trees which were irrigated on an "as needed" basis according to root ball moisture sensors, model trees required a total 130 gal (4941) each of water, while pear and birch controls required an average of 108 and 122 gal (410 and 4641) each, respectively, over the experimental period of two months. However, pear and birch controls required 25 and 24 site visits respectively, whereas model trees required only 13 visits. Refitting the model assumptions with actual tree measurements and adjusting the root ball soil tension point at which root balls were to be irrigated to well above the permanent wilting point, resulted in a 5 gal (191), every 3 day regime.

Published: April 2022

The content of the article is closely related to the fact that all modern society promotes a healthy lifestyle. Meat products are of particular importance for this concept-proper nutrition is also considered. Poultry meat is used as the main source of raw materials in the production of product formulations, as well as lentil flour as vegetable protein. During the study, it was found that when using protein raw materials from lentils, the stability of meat emulsions increased, and the proportion of fat decreased, and the proportion of protein in the products increased, which ensured a decrease in cholesterol and the overall energy value of the products. At the same time, the amino acid composition of the products is balanced, the consistency improves, and the yield increases. In the course of laboratory studies, the mass fraction of protein, fat, carbohydrates, moisture and nitrites in the proposed product was determined. A sample of the product with lentil flour was formed, which underwent organoleptic examination.

Published: April 2022

In recent years, the prospect of improving the pressing process of safflower oil has been widely used. In the course of the work, a peeler-press was developed. The preliminary separation of the husk from the kernel contributes to an increase in the oil content of the processed oilseed raw materials: the raw material is freed from low-oil components and the relative oil content in it increases. The design of the proposed equipment allows simultaneous peeling and pressing in one apparatus, which ensures the production of a high-quality and biologically valuable product. And also, a schematic diagram is given, the characteristics of the main components of the equipment and the principle of its operation are given.

Impact of ball possession time and number of passes on the efficiency of scoring in men’s water polo
Authors: Platanou Theodoros , Varamenti Evdokia
Published: April 2022

Purpose

This study aimed to explore whether a meaningful relationship existed between scoring in men’s water polo and ball possession time and the number of passes in even and extra player offence conditions.

Methods

Overall, 24 close matches played during international competitions were analysed twice, for the winning and losing teams separately. This allowed to collect a sample consisting of 1588 offences when teams played in equal conditions and 492 with an extra player.

Results

For effective scoring in even conditions, the results demonstrated significant relationships between the exchanging of many passes (7.78 ± 1.09 passes) and short-duration attacks lasting for 1–10 s (7.87 ± 2.29 s) (p = 0.05). In the extra player condition, a considerable relationship was noted between short to average ball possession time and scoring (p = 0.05). However, the effect size for these differences ranged from moderate to low.

Conclusions

Knowledge of this study results could help coaches design specific workouts during routine practices and make decisions during matches.

A caatinga nos livros didáticos de ciências e geografia em escolas do núcleo de desertificação de Irauçuba, Ceará
Authors: Castro Filho Pedro Julio de , Albuquerque Francisco Nataniel Batista de
Published: April 2022

A Caatinga constitui-se como uma importante temática a ser ensinada no Ensino Fundamental, especialmente no ensino de Ciências e de Geografia. Os livros didáticos são tidos em muitas escolas como o principal recurso utilizado nas aulas, complementando a prática pedagógica e auxiliando o professor quanto aos usos e aplicações dos conteúdos propostos em sua prática. Nesse sentido, os livros desempenham uma função importante na abordagem dos conteúdos necessários ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem, o que engloba o ensino da Caatinga. Esse estudo objetivou analisar os conteúdos sobre Caatinga nos livros didáticos de Ciências e de Geografia do 7º ano do Ensino Fundamental das escolas municipais de Irauçuba e de Sobral, ambas situadas no noroeste do Estado do Ceará. A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo, recorre ao método de análise documental, utilizando os materiais didáticos de 06 escolas. Como resultados, embora alguns critérios de análise tenham sido considerados como satisfatórios em alguns livros, verificou-se que os conteúdos referentes à Caatinga nos livros de Ciências e de Geografia do 7º ano, de forma geral, não conseguem trazer uma abordagem consistente e aprofundada, prevalecendo a ideia de que estes conteúdos são colocados em segundo plano e descontextualizados da realidade e da convivência dos alunos.

Authors: Gonçalves Juliano Rosa
Published: April 2022

O Brasil passou por significativas mudanças educacionais nos últimos anos. A reforma do Ensino Médio ocupou centralidade nessas novas políticas, reorganizando saberes e reorientando os propósitos do Ensino Médio. Como consequência, os livros didáticos sofreram remodelação. O objetivo deste trabalho é averiguar as modificações impostas à Geografia Escolar, cotejando a Base Nacional Comum Curricular e as adequações feitas nos livros didáticos. Para tanto, fez-se uso de metodologia qualitativa, de modo a dar suporte ao levantamento documental e bibliográfico do tema, a partir das obras aprovadas no Programa Nacional de Avaliação do Livro Didático do Ensino Médio para análise. Na leitura das obras, fez-se uso do conceito de canonicidade para identificar os temas mais presentes nos livros didáticos. A hipótese levantada, e confirmada no decorrer do trabalho, é a de que a Geografia nas escolas perdeu parte de sua base de conteúdos.

In the wake of industrial era 4.0, every business sector is demanded to adapt to the technological advances. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) –one of the largest sub-sectors in the economy of Indonesia– are of no exception. The implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology in Supply Chain Management (SCM) is expected to assist SMEs in managing their businesses more effectively and efficiently. Theaforementioned technological system is required to perform four different stages, starting with the monitoring stage. This stage, in turn, requires the availability of data in order to operate smoothly. However, the finding in the field indicates that the data required for smooth operation are not available. Therefore, this research aims to collect and analyze the datarelated to the operational performance conditions of SMEs. This study applied descriptive qualitative methods in sampling data on SMEs and selected AntapaniKidul Sub-district as the area of the study. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews with several key informants of SMEs. Interviews were conducted using metrics from the Supply Chain Operation References (SCOR) developed by the Supply Chain Council through several processes and dimensions, such as plan, source, make, deliver, and return. Analysis of the data that has been obtained will be carried out with the Tableau tools.The results obtained from this study reveal that SMEs are able to examine products condition with the current available data. However, they are not optimal to monitor the entire operational process. It is evident from the score of the whole process that remains in the marginal, average, and good categories.

Strawberries are in demand in confectionery and food industries. Berries are glazed, used in decorating of different confectionery or as a separate tender dessert. The growing season is limited to the summer period, and the demand for berries remains all year round. Low-temperature canning is one of the ways to preserve quality characteristics during the storage of berries. A freezing process is used during storage to maintain quality characteristics. Freezing under conditions of convective heat transfer at a temperature of 18 degrees below zero centigrade does not fully ensure the preservation of the organoleptic properties of the product. For this reason it becomes necessary to conduct an analysis of the existing methods of freezing. The following freezing methods were chosen for the exploring: freezing under conditions of convective heat transfer at a temperature of 18 degrees below zero centigrade, flash freezing under conditions of convective heat transfer at a temperature of 35 degrees below zero centigrade and cryogenic freezing in a carbon dioxide environment using ultrasonic radiation. The conducted studies and their analysis made it possible to obtain the following result: cryogenic freezing provides higher organoleptic characteristics of strawberries, both in frozen and thawed state. This is explained by the size of the forming ice crystals. To limit the growth of crystals, it is proposed to institute ultrasonic vibrations into a laboratory cryogenic freezing machine during the phase transition. The ultrasonic generator puts out oscillations with following parameters: ν≈880 kHz; I ≤0.4 W / cm2.Ultrasonic vibrations affect the strawberries until the temperature in the center of the berries reaches minus 50C.The selected modes of cryogenic freezing in a carbon dioxide environment with intensification of the phase transition are rational, since the freezing time is reduced and the number of crystallization centers increases, ensuring uniform freezing of all moisture. The storage of cryogenically frozen strawberries also showed better preservation.

The results of a study of the data on the particle-size distribution of ordinary carbonate chernozems of the North Azov soil region based on the materials of the regional soil data center are presented. The work was carried out in accordance with the hierarchical system of principles developed by the team of authors. At the first stage, we decided. with terms and their definitions, (for example, loess fraction – 0.05-0.005 mm). Next, the research area, method and data source were determined, then the quality of the data on the content of physical clay was checked, as well as the compliance of the parent material with the characteristics typical for the research area. The completeness of the data was provided by the analysis of literary sources, and in conclusion, having systematized and generalized the data obtained using a set of previous principles, synthesized new information: 90% of ordinary carbonate chernozems are formed on loess-like sediment, and the content of loess fraction in them is 39 ± 6%.

An Integrated OpenFOAM Membrane Fluid-Structure Interaction Solver
Authors: Wagner Simon , Münsch Manuel , Delgado Antonio
Published: April 2022

The scope of this paper is to present the design and verification of an integrated OpenFOAM membrane fluid-structure interaction (FSI) solver for small deflections, which employs the finite volume method (FVM) for solving the flow field and the finite area method (FAM) for solution of the membrane deflection. A key feature is that both the fluid and the solid solver operate on a common mesh geometry and are included into a single executable. Although the scope of applicability is narrow due to limitations of the membrane solver at its current state, positive verification results prove the practicability of the design, which allows for lightweight implementation as well as simple data transfers and post-processing.

Subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) is a manifestation of vertebrobasilar artery insufficiency due to stenosis of the proximal subclavian artery. It is a common vascular disorder; however, most patients are asymptomatic, and the disorder is commonly found incidentally during imaging. Nevertheless, some patients may present with arm ischemia or signs and symptoms of vertebrobasilar insufficiency, such as vertigo, dizziness, diplopia, ataxia, dysarthria, and syncopal episodes. We present a case of a male patient who presented with sudden onset dizziness, syncopal episodes, and blood pressure discrepancy between his arms. Diagnosis was a challenge, and the patient underwent several investigations, including basic bloodwork, electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, brain computed tomography (CT), and coronary CT angiography (CTA). Narrowing in the proximal left subclavian artery was found during coronary CTA, which confirmed the diagnosis of SSS.

Introduction: Thalassaemia is a common genetic blood disorder. Knowledge, awareness, attitude towards, and intention to screen for thalassaemia among Malaysians is poor. Screening for thalassaemia in unmarried individuals plays a key role in preventing thalassaemia major births.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on unmarried individuals aged 18 years and older in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia. A questionnaire was used to collect the general data of the participants, their knowledge of thalassaemia, attitude towards thalassaemia, and intention to screen for thalassaemia.
Results: A total of 278 respondents were included in this study. The mean (SD) knowledge score was 8.8 (4.99) out of a possible score of 21, with higher scores indicating better knowledge. The factor associated with good knowledge of thalassaemia was being a professional. Most respondents agreed that unmarried individuals should be screened for thalassaemia before marriage.
Conclusion: In conclusion, knowledge of thalassaemia among unmarried individuals who were not professionals was low.

Introduction: The incidence of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi)-induced cough has been reported between 5% and 30% but is unknown in Malaysia. This study aimed to determine the incidence of ACEi-induced cough and its associated factors in a public primary care clinic in Malaysia.
Methods: A retrospective review of electronic medical records of patients who were initiated ACEi between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2015, and reviewed until July 31, 2016. A total of 1,091 patients were newly prescribed ACEi, and 394 patients were eligible for this study. We excluded patients who defaulted follow-ups with no further clinic visits before July 31, 2016, were transferred to the clinic without the recorded date of ACEi initiation, were transferred to other clinics during the study period, were followed up at other clinics and attended the study clinic for a short period, or were given only a stat dose of ACEi.
Results: Among the 394 patients initiated on ACEi, 225 (57.1%) were male, 369 (93.7%) were Malay, 376 (95.4%) had hypertension, and 192 (48.7%) had diabetes. The incidence of ACEi-induced cough was 24.1%, and 42 (10.7%) patients developed cough on the day of therapy initiation. There was no association between age, gender, ethnicity, type of ACEi, and cough.
Conclusion: Approximately one quarter of patients developed cough after ACEi initiation, and approximately half of them developed cough within 1 week of ACEi initiation. Doctors should consider early follow-up for patients initiated on ACEi therapy to ensure adherence, quality of life, and minimise unnecessary treatment.
