Published: October 2019

Thousands of small clinics in Pakistan are generating dispersed medical waste, unlike large hospitals, small clinic waste management is often ignored. This study was conducted on 135 small clinics in Hyderabad, Pakistan, with the aim to determine small clinics’ waste management practices in contrast to rules, level of knowledge, the environmental impact of disposal methods, and motivating factor analysis to understand the current situation from multiple perspectives. Overall, the waste generation rate was calculated to be 2.01 kg/clinic/day and the hazardous waste generation rate was 0.89 kg/clinic/day, whereas the general waste generation rate was 1.12 kg/clinic/day. The hazardous waste generation rate percentage is found to be higher than those found in large hospitals by 20%. The waste management practice among surveyed clinics was deplorable; none of the clinics were completely following hospital waste management rules of 2005 and thus the absence of proper segregation, storage, transportation, and disposal was commonly encountered during the study. Clinic staff possessed low level of knowledge and awareness, and acquired no training about waste management practice and rules, moreover, frequent employee turnover was noticed too. Additionally, two hypotheses were checked for creditability of motivating factors with an exploratory factor analysis to check their contribution to motivating clinic staff to practice sound healthcare waste management. Out of 10 indicators, nine were found in support of the hypotheses. Hence, it was discovered that active government involvement and financial support in providing training and inspecting small clinics could help in improving the condition. The findings of the present study can play a vital role in documenting evidence, and for policymakers and governments to plan solid waste management of small clinics and other healthcare facilities.

Published: October 2019

Rare earth elements (REEs), known as “industrial vitamins”, are widely used in medical treatment, industry, agriculture, etc. However, with the increasing demand for REEs, excess REEs, such as gadolinium (Gd), are considered micropollutants in the environment. In this paper, the distributions of dissolved REEs were analyzed in three small streams, in order to determine the extent and occurrence of Gd anomalies. The shale-normalized REE patterns in the three streams were less smooth with heavy REEs higher than light REEs, for a weak reaction of the heavy REE complexes. A negative Ce (cerium) anomaly and positive samarium (Sm) and europium (Eu) anomalies were observed in the three streams and the negative Ce anomaly was affected by the pH of the alkaline rivers. However, a positive Gd anomaly was found in only a typical urban small stream, Jinzhong. With a population of approximately 60,000, Jinzhong runs by a hospital and through wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The concentrations of Gd in Jinzhong ranged from 1.54 to 86.65 ng/L with high anthropogenic Gd proportions (63.64%–98.07%). Anthropogenic Gd showed significant seasonal variations and distinct spatial disparities from upstream to downstream, and it was associated with certain ions such as Cl−. Anthropogenic Gd could be attributed to gadopentetic acid (Gd-DTPA), which is used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in hospitals. This type of Gd was shown to be correlated with municipal wastewater. Due to the high stability and low particulate reactivity in water, anthropogenic Gd has great potential to serve as a tracer to prove the presence of medical wastewater.
Thermoelastic Stress and Deformation Analyses of Functionally Graded Doubly Curved Shells
Authors: Wu Chih-Ping , He Yu-Wen
Published: October 2019

In this paper, the authors develop Reissner’s mixed variational theorem (RMVT)-based finite layer methods for the three-dimensional (3D) coupled thermoelastic analysis of simply supported, functionally graded, doubly curved (DC) shells with temperature-independent material properties. A two-phase composite material is considered to form the shell, and its material properties are assumed to obey a power–law distribution of the volume fractions of the constituents through the thickness direction of the shell. The effective material properties are estimated using the Mori–Tanaka scheme. The accuracy and convergence rate of these RMVT-based finite layer methods are validated by comparing their solutions with the quasi 3D and accurate two-dimensional solutions available in the literature.

Authors: Neslušan Miroslav , Bahleda František , Moravčík Martin , Zgútová Katarína , Pastorek Filip
Published: October 2019

This paper deals with the assessment of a real prestressed tendon by the use of Barkhausen noise emission. The tendon was obtained from a real highway bridge after 33 years in service. Barkhausen noise is studied as a function of the stress state, and the Barkhausen noise signals received directly from the tendon on the real bridge are compared with the Barkhausen noise signals received from the tendon during loading in the laboratory. Assessment of the prestressing is based on the analysis of the effective value of the Barkhausen noise signal as well as the position in which the Barkhausen noise envelopes attain a maximum.
A Unique Formulation of Cardioprotective Bio-Actives: An Overview of Their Safety Profile
Authors: Salminen William , Agbaje-Williams Mayowa , Ajayi Funmilayo
Published: October 2019

The burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains high globally and in the United States despite the availability of pharmaceuticals aimed at its prevention and treatment. An invention by Summit Innovation Labs, which is a formula consisting of a unique blend of select polyphenols (i.e., curcumin, quercetin, resveratrol), vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7, and magnesium, was recently developed to modulate the impact of the specific drivers of CVD, namely, vascular calcification, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation. The SIL formulation is a dietary supplement that was designed leveraging the more bioavailable forms of ingredients with poor absorption, such as curcumin and quercetin. Each ingredient within the SIL formulation has been shown to contribute to CVD risk reduction by moderating the effect of CVD triggers, thereby providing a holistic prevention strategy for CVD in the healthy population. This review focuses on recently published clinical data to support the safety profile of these ingredients following oral administration. The preponderance of clinical trial data reviewed support the overall safety of the bioactives when used singly or in combination. The most commonly reported adverse effects were generally mild dose-related gastrointestinal disturbances, which may be alleviated with diet in some cases. In light of these, we conclude that the combination of the ingredients in the SIL formulation is reasonably expected to be safe.
Chemometrics Approaches in Forced Degradation Studies of Pharmaceutical Drugs
Authors: Roberto de Alvarenga Junior Benedito , Lajarim Carneiro Renato
Published: October 2019

Chemometrics is the chemistry field responsible for planning and extracting the maximum of information of experiments from chemical data using mathematical tools (linear algebra, statistics, and so on). Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can form impurities when exposed to excipients or environmental variables such as light, high temperatures, acidic or basic conditions, humidity, and oxidative environment. By considering that these impurities can affect the safety and efficacy of the drug product, it is necessary to know how these impurities are yielded and to establish the pathway of their formation. In this context, forced degradation studies of pharmaceutical drugs have been used for the characterization of physicochemical stability of APIs. These studies are also essential in the validation of analytical methodologies, in order to prove the selectivity of methods for the API and its impurities and to create strategies to avoid the formation of degradation products. This review aims to demonstrate how forced degradation studies have been actually performed and the applications of chemometric tools in related studies. Some papers are going to be discussed to exemplify the chemometric applications in forced degradation studies.

Published: October 2019

Drastic changes in plant height (PH) are observed when maize adapt to a higher plant density. Most importantly, PH is an important factor affecting maize yield. Although the genetic basis of PH has been extensively studied using different populations during the past decades, genetic basis remains unclear in the F1 population, which was a widely used population in production. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using an F1 population consisting of 300 maize hybrids with 17,652 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) makers to identify candidate genes for controlling PH. A total of nine significant SNPs makers and two candidate genes were identified for PH. The candidate genes, Zm00001d018617 and Zm00001d023659, were the genes most probable to be involved in the development of PH. Our results provide new insights into the genetic basis of PH in maize.
Father’s Use of Parental Leave in Organizations with Different Institutional Logics
Authors: Vaagan Moen Lisa , Kvande Elin , Nordli Kine
Published: October 2019

Although the use of the father’s quota of parental leave has become a majority practice among Norwegian fathers, there is some variation between different groups of fathers. This article explores how male managers in the engineering industry and male brokers in the finance industry use the father’s quota. Based on the theoretical framework of institutional logics, the article uses two pairs of opposite concepts-‘available and unavailable’ and ‘replaceable and irreplaceable’ in a work context, to focus on how the use of the father’s quota is affected. Analyzing two different male-dominated organizations, the findings show how the use of the father’s quota depends on different institutional logics, which sets the framework for the practice and culture of the two organizations. The male managers in the engineering industry become unavailable and replaceable in their organizations, thus making it possible for the fathers to use the father’s quota and parental leave. In contrast to this, the institutional logic in the finance industry makes brokers available and irreplaceable in their organizations, thus making it difficult for them to use father’s quota or parental leave

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections are the product of the interaction between bacteria, phages, animals, humans, and the environment. In the late 1980s, Alberta had one of the highest incidences of STEC infections in North America. Herein, we revisit and contextualize the epidemiology of STEC O157 human infections in Alberta for the period 2009–2016. STEC O157 infections were concentrated in large urban centers, but also in rural areas with high cattle density. Hospitalization was often required when the Shiga toxin genotype stx2a stx2c was involved, however, only those aged 60 years or older and infection during spring months (April to June) independently predicted that need. Since the late 1980s, the rate of STEC O157-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in Alberta has remained unchanged at 5.1%, despite a marked drop in the overall incidence of the infection. While Shiga toxin genotypes stx1a stx2c and stx2a stx2c seemed associated with HUS, only those aged under 10 years and infection during spring months were independently predictive of that complication. The complexity of the current epidemiology of STEC O157 in Alberta highlights the need for a One Health approach for further progress to be made in mitigating STEC morbidity.
Evasion of Innate and Intrinsic Antiviral Pathways by the Zika Virus
Authors: Serman Taryn M. , Gack Michaela U.
Published: October 2019

The Zika virus (ZIKV) is a recently emerged mosquito-borne flavivirus that, while typically asymptomatic, can cause neurological symptoms in adults and birth defects in babies born to infected mothers. The interactions of ZIKV with many different pathways in the human host ultimately determine successful virus replication and ZIKV-induced pathogenesis; however, the molecular mechanisms of such host-ZIKV interactions have just begun to be elucidated. Here, we summarize the recent advances that defined the mechanisms by which ZIKV antagonizes antiviral innate immune signaling pathways, with a particular focus on evasion of the type I interferon response in the human host. Furthermore, we describe emerging evidence that indicated the contribution of several cell-intrinsic mechanisms to an effective restriction of ZIKV infection, such as nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, stress granule formation, and “reticulophagy”, a type of selective autophagy. Finally, we summarize the recent work that identified strategies by which ZIKV modulated these intrinsic antiviral responses.

Published: October 2019

A condutividade hidráulica de solos constitui informação importante para a compreensão dos processos de infiltração de água, reduzindo incertezas nas estimativas de balanços hídricos em bacias hidrográficas. Além de possibilitar a compreensão da distribuição espacial da recarga em aquíferos livres, auxilia também na elaboração de estratégias de uso racional e integrado de águas superficiais e subterrâneas. Nesse sentido, o trabalho teve como objetivo geral determinar a variabilidade espacial da condutividade hidráulica em uma bacia hidrográfica localizada na sub-bacia do Alto Jacaré-Pepira, importante zona de recarga do Sistema Aquífero Guarani (SAG), comparando as variações observadas com aspectos fisiográficos e geológicos. A condutividade hidráulica foi medida em campo utilizando-se um Permeâmetro de Guelph, que possibilita a medição da recarga líquida estática responsável pela manutenção da carga hidráulica em um furo artificial no solo. A condutividade hidráulica dos solos na área variou de 1,99E-6 até 6,02E-2 cm s-1, sendo os maiores valores associados a solos arenosos derivados de arenitos das formações Botucatu e Pirambóia, enquanto os menores a solos argilosos, provenientes da alteração de rochas basálticas da Formação Serra Geral. A distribuição espacial da condutividade hidráulica na área da microbacia permitiu verificar a forte correlação entre a condutividade hidráulica e o tipo litológico aflorante, a partir da comparação visual com o mapa geológico da área. A variabilidade da condutividade é correlacionada aos solos na área, e ambos são essencialmente controlados pelas litologias aflorantes e por sua posição no relevo.

Published: October 2019

Abstract: The huge number of data streams makes it impossible to mine recent frequent itemsets. Due to the maximal frequent itemsets can perfectly imply all the frequent itemsets and the number is much smaller, therefore, the time cost and the memory usage for mining maximal frequent itemsets are much more efficient. This paper proposes an improved method called Recent Maximal Frequent Itemsets Mining (RMFIsM) to mine recent maximal frequent itemsets over data streams with sliding window. The RMFIsM method uses two matrixes to store the information of data streams, the first matrix stores the information of each transaction and the second one stores the frequent 1-itemsets. The frequent p-itemsets are mined with “extension” process of frequent 2-itemsets, and the maximal frequent itemsets are obtained by deleting the sub-itemsets of long frequent itemsets. Finally, the performance of the RMFIsM method is conducted by a series of experiments, the results show that the proposed RMFIsM method can mine recent maximal frequent itemsets efficiently

Authors: Adi Prasetyanto Eko
Published: October 2019

Injectable hydrogels, a class of hydrogel, have received a lot of attention in biomedical applications due to its versatility. It is reported that injectable hydrogel can be applied in various biomedical procedures for example as submucosal fluid cushion, periodontal implant, and cartilage and bone tissue engineering. In addition to its easy delivery (implantation), this class of hydrogel can be tailored to match specific applications. The customization of this hydrogel can be easily executed by changing polymeric backbone of hydrogel, choosing different types of crosslinking or by adding nanoparticles to form hybrid hydrogel systems. Physical properties, compatibility and biodegradability of the resulted materials are important factors for designing injectable hydrogels. In this Recent Research Progress, we highlight the state-of-the-art injectable hydrogels and note the general requirements of an ideal injectable hydrogel for biomedical applications.

EFFECT OF GOAT’S-RUE RHIZOBIA ON THE FORMATION AND FUNCTIONING OF THE SOYBEAN – BRADYRHIZOBIUM JAPONICUM 634B SYMBIOSIS
Authors: Melnykova N. M. , Kots S. Ya.
Published: October 2019

Objective. Study the peculiarities of nodule formation upon the formation of the symbiotic sys-tem soybean-Bradyrhizobium japonicum 634b, as well as the symbiotic nitrogen-fixation ability and plant growth and development under the influence of goat’s-rue rhizobia. Methods. Microbiologi-cal, physiological, statistical, gas chromatography. Results. In green house experiments, using sand as a substrate for growing plants, the mixed microbial cultures combining soybean nodule bacteria B. japonicum 634b and goat’s-rue nodule bacteria R. galegae 0702 or R. galegae 0703 in the ratio of 1 : 1 differed from the monoculture bradyrhizobium by their influence on the nodulation, nitro-gen-fixation ability of soybean-rhizobial symbiosis and development of soybean plants (variety Almaz). Increased nodulation activity in the primordial leaf and budding phases, as well as a signif-icant decrease in the level of symbiosis nitrogen fixation during budding, were observed when used in binary bacterial compositions of strain R. galegae 0703. These rhizobia of goat’s-rue suppressed the development of the root system of soybeans, but had no significant effect on the formation of the aerial part of the plants throughout the observation period. R. galegae 0702 strain slightly slowed the formation of nodules by bacteria in the primordial leaf phase, which caused a decrease in the number of soybean plants that formed symbiosis with B. japonicum 634b. Goat’s-rue nodule bacte-ria R. galegae 0702 improved the formation of the root system, and stimulated the growth and de-velopment of the aerial part of the macro symbiont in the phase of two trigeminal leaves. Conclu-sion. Combined inoculation of the rhizobia of goat’s-rue with nodule bacteria B. japonicum 634b showed a multidirectional effect on the formation of symbiosis by soybean plants of variety Almaz and functioning of soybean rhizobial symbiosis. The nature of the influence of R. galegae depended on their strain affiliation.

Published: October 2019

Objective. To determine the features of potential N2O emission from the rhizospheric soil of plants under different crop fertilization systems. Methods. Field experiment, gas chromatographic methods. Results. In the field stationary experiment on leached chornozem during crop rotation in potato, spring barley, peas and winter wheat, it was shown that potential N2O losses from the rhizo-spheric soil of plants depend on fertilizing systems and microbial preparations. The losses of nitro-gen gaseous compounds are proportional to the standards of the applied mineral nitrogen fertiliz-ers. High N2O emission rates are observed in the first year of cattle manure application and during its after-effect. Emission of nitrous oxide also increases with organo-mineral fertilization. The use of microbial preparations in crop cultivation technologies: Biogran for potatoes, Mikrogumin for spring barley, Rhizogumin for peas, Polimiksobakteryn for winter wheat under the application of mineral fertilizers, contributes to a significant limitation of nitrogen gas losses. This is due to the increase of the absorption coefficients of the active substance from the fertilizers by bacterization-initiated plants and, consequently, the decrease in mineral nitrogen compounds in the rhizospheric soil. When growing potatoes by an organic agrarian background (40 t/ha of manure), the signifi-cant effect of Biogran on the course of the biological denitrification process has not been estab-lished, which can be explained by the formation of an intense pool of microorganisms under the use of manure, and the levelling of pre-sowing bacterization due to this effect. Conclusion. The use of microbial preparations for inoculation of agricultural seeds helps to reduce the emission of nitrous oxide from rhizospheric soil of plants under their cultivation by mineral agrarian backgrounds, which is important both economically and environmentally.

Authors: Derkach S. М. , Volkohon V. V. , Horban V. P.
Published: October 2019

Objective. To study the possibility of production of physiologically active substances by the as-sociation of micromycetes Trichoderma harzianum 128, which is used for enrichment composted substrates based on chicken litter. Methods. Microbiological, physiological, accumulative thin lay-er chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC / MS). Results. T. harzianum 128 produces a significant amount of physiologically active growth stimulanting substances. Soak-ing of corn seeds in the culture liquid of micromycetes association, diluted with water in 100– 10,000 times, provides a reliable growth stimulation of seedlings and indicates the absence of phy-totoxicity in microorganisms. The instrumental determination of the content of exogenous phyto-hormones in pre-purified and concentrated phytohormonal extracts shows a significant amount of auxins in a culture fluid — their total amount reaches 18.33 μg/g of dry biomass of the producer, and of cytokinins, in particular, isopentenylidenidine (5.6 μg/g of dry biomass) and zeatin (0.88 μg/g dry biomass). Association T. harzianum 128 in small quantities produces gibberellic acids — GK3 (0.34 μg/g dry biomass) and GK4 — 0.23 μg/g of dry biomass). Absorbent acid was also found in the culture fluid (5.3 μg/g dry biomass), but its amount is four times less than the cor-responding measures in the known strain T. viride F100001, which was used as a positive control in the studies. While the introduction of association T. harzianum 128 into the composted chicken litter substrate, the obtained compost shows high auxin and cytokinin activity. Conclusion. Phyto-hormones, which are produced by the micromycetes association of T. harzianum 128, can positively influence the growth and development of plants, play a protective role in adverse environmental conditions. After introduction of the investigated fungi association to a composted substrate on the basis of chicken litter it accumulates significant amounts of physiologically active substances of auxin and cytokinin action. Under these conditions compost acquires new qualitative features.

Published: October 2019

Background: A recent study estimated that more than 1.5 million Americans have an indeterminate pulmonary nodule (IPN) identified on a chest computed tomography (CT) scan each year outside of lung cancer screening programs. However, the cost and pattern of subsequent IPN workup have not been described for real-world settings.

Objectives: To examine the pattern and cost of IPN workup in real-world practice using insurer administrative claims data for commercially-insured individuals.

Methods: The primary source for this retrospective observational study was the MarketScan® 2013-2016 databases, which include information on 28 to 47 million insured lives. The newly diagnosed IPN study population consisted of members with an IPN diagnosis code on a claim in 2014 who did not have prior diagnosis of an IPN or lung cancer in 2013 and who had coverage from 2014 to 2016. Subsequent claims were examined for workups included in the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guideline recommendations and the costs of workup were tabulated.

Results: Of the 15 064 patients in the study population, only 5471 (36%) received any subsequent workup. The average and median costs of workup for these patients were $3270 and $2068, respectively. Spread across the commercially-insured population, the workup is estimated to cost between $1 and $2 per member per year.

Conclusions: The majority of commercially-insured members with newly identified IPNs do not appear to have any guideline-recommended workup, despite a low incremental cost of such workup services on a population basis.

Published: October 2019

Sorgum merupakan tanaman yang hampir semua bagian dapat dimanfaatkan, misalnya pada biji sorgum dapat dijadikan pakan unggas, sedangkan hasil samping seperti jerami dapat dijadikan sebagai pakan ternak ruminansia. Harga SP-36 yang mahal menyebabkan masalah dalam pemupukan tanaman utamnya sumber fosfat. Fosfat alam memiliki sifat larut asam sehingga perlu dilakuakan metode khusus untuk meningkatkan kelarutan dalam air. Pupuk kandang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai pelarut batuan fosfat karena proses dekomposisi menghasilkan asam-asam organik. Arang tempurung kelapa digunakan sebagai pembenah tanah, karena sifatnya yang memperbaiki sifat fisik tanah.Penelitian dilaksanakan mulai bulan Maret sampai Agustus 2013 di lahan tanaman koleksi Laboratorium Ilmu Tanaman dan Makanan Ternak Fakultas Peternakan dan Pertanian Universitas Diponegoro Semarang. Materi penelitian yang akan digunakan adalah biji sorgum manis varietas numbu dari SEAMEO BIOTROP Bogor, luas lahan yang digunakan 220 m2 terdiri dari 30 petak dengan ukuran petak 3 m x 2 m dengan jarak tanam 50 cm x 25 cm dan jarak antar petak 0,5 m, jumlah tanaman 42, pupuk kandang dan pupuk kandang ”plus” 20 ton/ha, dosis arang tempurung kelapa 8 ton/ha, batuan fosfat dosis 66 kg P/ha, dosis SP-36 66 kgP/ha, starter mikroba Stardec. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan 3 ulangan sebagai kelompok. Perlakuan penelitian terdiri dari T0= Kontrol, T1= SP 36, T2= Batuan Fosfat, T3= Pupuk Kandang, T4= Pupuk Kandang “Plus”, T5= Arang, T6= Batuan Fosfat + Arang, T7= SP 36 + Arang, T8= Pupuk Kandang + Arang, T9= Pupuk Kandang “Plus” + Arang. Pupuk kandang dan pupuk kandang ”plus” 20 ton/ha, dosis arang tempurung kelapa 8 ton/ha, batuan fosfat dosis 66 kg P/ha, dosis SP-36 66 kgP/ha, pupuk dasar Amunium Sulfat 100 kgN/ha, dan KCl 70kgK/ha. Perlakuan SP36, BP, pukan, pukan”plus” dengan atau tanpa arang tidak mampu meningkatkan kadar BK, PK dan SK, tetapi mampu meningkatkan kadar fosfat jerami sorgum.
