Published: October 2023

In the face of rapid population growth worldwide, humanity's need for plant and animal products is increasing. In this regard, the organizations in charge of production make production and consumption forecasts for the future and try to accelerate the work aimed at increasing production. There are various ways of increasing production. The first of these is the improvement of cultivation techniques, the expansion of irrigated agricultural areas, and the effective control of diseases and pests. The second is to find and produce high-yielding new varieties with appropriate breeding methods. Mutations can be used directly and indirectly in plant breeding. The use of mutations in direct plant breeding gains importance when improving one or two characteristics of a variety with good adaptability is desired. The present study discusses the importance, advantages, and disadvantages of mutation breeding in horticultural plants. It evaluates future mutation breeding and new biotechnological approaches.

El potencial económico de cultivos como Cannabis y Erythroxylum coca bajo un marco regulatorio adecuado es una de las tendencias nivel mundial (Silber-Coats, 2021). Estos dos cultivos provienen del trópico de territorios de Asia y América, y la percepción de su uso ha evolucionado de actividades psicoactivas a aplicaciones para el bienestar del ser humano (Paniagua-Zambrana et al., 2020; Strzelczyk et al., 2021). Desde hace décadas se han explorado sus compuestos fenólicos, nitrogenados y metabolitos que dan origen a estudios e informes etnofarmacológicos que respaldan su uso alimentario, industrial y medicinal (Rodrigues et al., 2020).

Published: October 2023

Background

Through our work, we have demonstrated how clinical decision support (CDS) tools integrated into the electronic health record (EHR) assist providers in adopting evidence-based practices. This requires confronting technical challenges that result from relying on the EHR as the foundation for tool development; for example, the individual CDS tools need to be built independently for each different EHR.

Objective

The objective of our research was to build and implement an EHR-agnostic platform for integrating CDS tools, which would remove the technical constraints inherent in relying on the EHR as the foundation and enable a single set of CDS tools that can work with any EHR.

Methods

We developed EvidencePoint, a novel, cloud-based, EHR-agnostic CDS platform, and we will describe the development of EvidencePoint and the deployment of its initial CDS tools, which include EHR-integrated applications for clinical use cases such as prediction of hospitalization survival for patients with COVID-19, venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, and pulmonary embolism diagnosis.

Results

The results below highlight the adoption of the CDS tools, the International Medical Prevention Registry on Venous Thromboembolism-D-Dimer, the Wells’ criteria, and the Northwell COVID-19 Survival (NOCOS), following development, usability testing, and implementation. The International Medical Prevention Registry on Venous Thromboembolism-D-Dimer CDS was used in 5249 patients at the 2 clinical intervention sites. The intervention group tool adoption was 77.8% (4083/5249 possible uses). For the NOCOS tool, which was designed to assist with triaging patients with COVID-19 for hospital admission in the event of constrained hospital resources, the worst-case resourcing scenario never materialized and triaging was never required. As a result, the NOCOS tool was not frequently used, though the EvidencePoint platform’s flexibility and customizability enabled the tool to be developed and deployed rapidly under the emergency conditions of the pandemic. Adoption rates for the Wells’ criteria tool will be reported in a future publication.

Conclusions

The EvidencePoint system successfully demonstrated that a flexible, user-friendly platform for hosting CDS tools outside of a specific EHR is feasible. The forthcoming results of our outcomes analyses will demonstrate the adoption rate of EvidencePoint tools as well as the impact of behavioral economics “nudges” on the adoption rate. Due to the EHR-agnostic nature of EvidencePoint, the development process for additional forms of CDS will be simpler than traditional and cumbersome IT integration approaches and will benefit from the capabilities provided by the core system of EvidencePoint.

Authors: Arcos Daniela , Russo Lyric N , Kazmierski Kelly F M , Zhou Elayne , Montiel Gloria Itzel , Bracho America , Mejia Nancy , Borelli Jessica L
Published: October 2023

Background

Community service providers (CSPs) play an integral role in the health care of low-income Hispanic or Latinx (HL) communities. CSPs have high-stress frontline jobs and share the high-risk demographics of their communities. Relational savoring (RS) has been associated with lower cardiovascular reactivity and psychosocial benefits, with particular promise among HL participants. In this study, we aim to identify RS’s potential in promoting CSPs’ cardiometabolic health and, in so doing, having broader impacts on the community they serve.

Objective

This randomized controlled waitlist study aims to examine the effect of an RS intervention on (1) CSPs’ cardiometabolic health (cardiometabolic risk factors and outcomes) and (2) CSPs’ threats to leaving the workforce.

Methods

We will recruit a sample of 80 CSPs from community health agencies serving low-income HL populations. Participating CSPs will be randomized into an experimental or a waitlist control. Participants will complete 1 or 2 baseline assessment batteries (before the intervention), depending on the assigned group, and then complete 2 more assessment batteries following the 4-week RS intervention (after the intervention and at a 3-mo follow-up). The RS intervention consists of guided reflections on positive moments of connection with others. Electrocardiogram data will be obtained from a wearable device (Polar Verity Sense or Movisens) to measure heart rate variability. The primary outcome is cardiometabolic health, consisting of cardiometabolic risk (obtained from heart rate variability) and cardiometabolic health behaviors. The secondary outcomes include CSPs’ threats to leaving the workforce (assessed via psychological well-being), intervention acceptability, and CSPs’ delivery of cardiometabolic health programming to the community (exploratory). Analyses of covariance will be used to examine the effects of RS on cardiometabolic health and on CSPs’ threats to leaving the workforce, comparing outcomes at baseline, postintervention, and at follow-up across participants in the experimental versus waitlist group.

Results

The study has been approved by the University of California, Irvine, Institutional Review Board and is currently in the data collection phase. By May 2023, 37 HL CSPs have been recruited: 34 have completed the baseline assessment, 28 have completed the 4 intervention sessions, 27 have completed the posttreatment assessment, and 10 have completed all assessments (including the 3-mo follow-up).

Conclusions

This study will provide valuable information on the potential of RS to support cardiometabolic health in HL CSPs and, indirectly, in the communities they serve.

Mother’s perception and knowledge of functional food in IndonesiaBackground: Non-communicable diseases (NCD) is the highest cause of death in the world. At the end of 2019, the COVID-19 virus (Coronavirus disease) emerged and became a pandemic in various countries. Consumption of functional food is believed to become an alternative therapy for NCD and increase immunity amid the pandemic. A mother's perception of purchasing functional food is essential because of its main role as a food provider in the family. Objective: This research was conducted to determine the factors related to the mother's purchase of functional food. Methods: An online cross-sectional survey was carried out among 406 mothers and distributed through the social media platform for two weeks from November to December 2021. Each subject answered questions on general data, basic knowledge, motivation, and buying patterns of functional food products, and ten questions about the perception of functional food. The questionnaires were tested for validity and reliability before being distributed. Data were processed using univariate and bivariate analysis using the Pearson correlation test with STATA software version 15.0.Results: 55.91% of mothers have an excellent knowledge of functional food. Purchasing functional food was not significantly related to socio-demographic (age, occupation, and education) with p-value>0.05 (0,9088; 0,4413; 0,7451) but significantly associated with knowledge (p-value=0.0161) and behavior which analyzed using the theory of planned behavior including attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral controls (p<0.05). Mothers purchase functional food products mainly because of health and taste reasons. At the same time, the barriers are due to high prices and lack of information regarding the health benefits contained. Conclusion: Mother's purchasing behavior is not influenced by socio-demographic conditions because they already have a good awareness of functional food. Mother's knowledge and behavior toward functional food are good because of their high educational level, and healthy food awareness increased during the pandemic. Intensive education and product innovation are still needed to support functional food development in Indonesia.

Published: October 2023

Objectives: This review investigated the research on warm herbal foot bath therapy (WHFT) for insomnia.Methods: A search was conducted on the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database to collect relevant studies published up to August 29, 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing WHFT and sleeping pills in patients with insomnia were included. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool. The results of the meta-analysis were presented as risk ratios (RRs) or mean differences (MDs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Results: A total of 11 RCTs were included. WHFT as monotherapy resulted in a significantly higher total effective rate (TER) (RR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.36; I2=25%) and an improved Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) global sore (MD, -3.10; 95% CI, -4.24 to -1.95; I2=73%) compared to benzodiazepines. Additionally, WHFT as a combined therapy with benzodiazepines resulted in a significantly higher TER (RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.27; I2=0%) and an improved PSQI global score (MD, -2.23; 95% CI, -4.09 to -0.38; I2=80%) compared to benzodiazepines alone. In network analysis visualizing the components of HWFT, four clusters were discovered, and Polygoni Multiflori Ramuls and Ziziphi Spinosae Semen were the key herbs used in WHFT. Overall, the methodological quality of the included studies was poor.Conclusions: There was limited evidence that WHFT as a monotherapy or combined therapy was effective in improving insomnia. The findings can be used as basic data for future WHFT research in South Korea.

Objective: This study examined the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatments in two patients with Parkinson’s disease complaining of discomfort stemming from postural instability and gait disturbance (PIGD).Methods: Two patients were treated for 3 months. They visited the clinic once a week for the first month and thereafter once every 2 weeks. The Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and a three-dimensional gait analysis were performed at the first visit and at 1, 2, and 3 months thereafter.Results: In Case 1, gait speed, stride length, and swing phase increased. Double support decreased until 2 months after treatment but increased slightly after 3 months. Among the kinematic parameters, tilt and rotation increased. The total UPDRS Part III score decreased from 51 points to 29 points after 3 months of treatment. In Case 2, gait speed, stride length, and swing phase increased, but double support decreased. Among the kinematic parameters, tilt, rotation, and obliquity decreased. The total UPDRS Part III score decreased from 11 points to 7 points after 3 months of treatment.Conclusions: This study suggests that Korean medicine can be an effective treatment for patients with Parkinson’s disease who experience discomfort due to PIGD.

Management of natural-social-production systems based on the Internet of Things concept: a geoportal approach
Authors: Yamashkin S.A. , Yamashkin A.A.
Published: October 2023

The authors describe the research in development of problem-oriented geoportal systems based on the concept of the Internet of things which enable solving the tasks of managing natural-social-production systems. The main purpose of the implemented automation solutions is to provide the decision maker with a tool for monitoring and remote control of IoT agents operating within the territorial framework. The solution to the problem of visualization and dissemination of spatial data on regional metageosystems can be achieved through the introduction and effective use of geoportal ones developed on the basis of web technologies and providing access to the spatial data infrastructure of organizations and regions through interactive digital maps. We propose the developed structure of a metageosystem management scheme based on the technology of the Internet of things and geoportal systems, based on the use of the LoRaWAN long-range wireless communication standard. The basis of such a network is represented by IoT devices consolidated around the head ones (gateways) and developed on the basis of a modular principle to achieve high rates of modifiability and extensibility. Gathering telemetric indicators and transferring control commands within the LoRaWAN network are carried out without involvement of third-party communication providers, which greatly reduces the expense of operating economic management systems, bringing the cost of data exchange to the lowest possible rate. It is proved that in the case of the use of geoinformation web systems in conjunction with the technology of the Internet of things, geoportals would play the role of dispatching centers along with their classic function of interactive visualization of spatial data

Published: October 2023

This study aims to investigate the impact of organizational memory and social media on hotel reputation in Jordan. A self-administered questionnaire was employed in this study to collect data from 325 respondents using a convenience sampling technique. Partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was also used to test the suggested structural model. According to the study’s conclusions, social media and organizational memory have a favourable and significant impact on Jordanian hotels’ reputations. This study only covers respondents from Jordanian hotels due to a lack of finance and time, making it impossible to compare the results with those from other hospitality sectors. As a result, this is seen as a study constraint. Further research into the value of many facets of hotel reputation was conducted using importance-performance map analysis (IPMA). The results suggest that Jordanian hotels should utilize social media to boost their reputation. The findings of this study are meant to help Jordanian hotels comprehend the function that social media plays in enhancing hotel reputation. Findings from this study can help hotel managers and practitioners improve their digital reputation management approaches.
Determinants of liquidity risk: Do corporate governance practices have an impact? An empirical study of emerging markets
Authors: Hafez Hassan M.
Published: October 2023

Most banks are concerned about how liquidity risk affects their performance. Managing liquidity risk is critical since failing to do so will result in a bank’s insolvency. This study aims to investigate systematic and unsystematic factors that affect the liquidity risk of Egyptian banks during the period 2000–2022. A dynamic panel data and generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator is used. Results revealed that systematic factors have no impact on the liquidity risk of Islamic banks and are more exposed to unsystematic factors. Since corporate governance practices have an impact on banks performance we assume corporate governance practices have an impact on liquidity risk determinants as well. Therefore, applying good corporate governance practices will mitigate the liquidity risk of Egyptian banks. The second part of this study examines which banking system applies corporate governance practices more effectively, and if it has an impact on factors that most affect liquidity risk. Traditional banks and traditional banks with Islamic windows have governance practices more effectively to mitigate the impact of systemic and unsystematic risks on a bank’s liquidity risk. Islamic banks apply governance practices less effectively. This is attributed to the presence of a Sharia Committee as an alternative to applying governance practices.
Antiepileptogenic and Neuroprotective effect of Mefloquine after Experimental Status Epilepticus

Acquired temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) characterized by spontaneous
recurrent seizures (SRS) and hippocampal inhibitory neuron dysfunction
is often refractory to current therapies. Gap junctional or electrical
coupling between inhibitory neurons has been proposed to facilitate
network synchrony and intercellular molecular exchange suggesting a role
in both seizures and neurodegeneration. While gap junction blockers can
limit acute seizures, whether blocking neuronal gap junctions can modify
development of chronic epilepsy has not been examined. This study
examined whether mefloquine, a selective blocker of Connexin 36 gap
junctions which are well characterized in inhibitory neurons, can limit
epileptogenesis and related cellular and behavioral pathology in a model
of acquired TLE. A single, systemic dose of mefloquine administered
early after pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) in rat reduced
both development of SRS and behavioral co-morbidities. Immunostaining
for interneuron subtypes identified that mefloquine treatment likely
reduced delayed inhibitory neuronal loss after SE. Uniquely, parvalbumin
expressing neurons in the hippocampal dentate gyrus appeared relatively
resistant to early cell loss after SE. Functionally, whole cell patch
clamp recordings revealed that mefloquine treatment preserved inhibitory
synaptic drive to projection neurons one week and one month after SE.
These results demonstrate that mefloquine, a drug already approved for
malaria prophylaxis, is potentially antiepileptogenic and can protect
against progressive interneuron loss and behavioral co-morbidities of
epilepsy.

Even parasites have parasites. By definition, a hyperparasite is an
organism capable of parasitizing another parasite. Hyperparasitism
caused by fungi is a common phenomenon in nature, but it has been poorly
studied. This life history strategy evolved several times in the fungal
tree of life, and is crucial in the maintenance of ecosystems as well as
in the mediation of parasite–host interactions. Although the interest
for hyperparasitic fungi is growing in the context of biological
control, hyperparasitism is not ecologically and evolutionarily
understood. This chapter summarizes the most relevant aspects of the
terminology, diversity, and ecology of hyperparasitic fungi on both
fungal and non-fungal hosts. We also discuss the problems related to
molecular research on hyperparasitic fungi. As they represent a hidden
source of diversity, it is necessary to increase sampling efforts and to
undertake further morphological, molecular, and ecological studies to
understand these fungi and their potential biotechnological and
pharmaceutical uses.
Promoting the near-infrared-II fluorescence of diketopyrrolopyrrole-based dye for in vivo imaging via donor engineering

Published: October 2023

Small-molecule dyes for fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared
region (NIR-II, 900‒1880 nm) hold great promise in clinical
applications. Constructing donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) architecture has
been recognized to be a feasible strategy to achieve the NIR-II
fluorescence. However, the development of NIR-II dyes via such a scheme
is hampered by the lack of high-performance electron-acceptors and
donors. Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP), as a classic organic optoelectronic
material, enjoys strong light absorption, high fluorescence quantum
yield (QY), and facile derivatization. Nevertheless, its application in
the NIR-II imaging field has been hindered by its limited
electron-withdrawing ability and the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ)
effect resulted from the planar structure of DPP. Herein, with DPP as an
electron-acceptor and through the donor engineering, we have
successfully designed and synthesized a DPP-based dye named as T-27, in
which the strong D-A interaction confers excellent NIR absorption and
high-brightness NIR-II fluorescence tail emission. By strategically
introducing long alkyl chains on the donor unit to increase
intermolecular spacing and reduce the influence of solvent molecules,
T-27 exhibits an improved anti-ACQ effect in the aqueous solutions.
After being encapsulated into DSPE-PEG2000, T-27 nanoparticles (NPs)
show a relative NIR-II fluorescence QY of 3.4% in water, representing
the highest value among the DPP-based NIR-II dyes reported to date. The
outstanding photophysical properties of T-27 NPs enable the multi-mode
NIR-IIa bioimaging under the 808 nm-excitation. As such, the T-27 NPs
can distinguish mouse femoral vein and artery, and achieve cerebral
vascular microscopic imaging with a penetrating depth of 800 μm,
demonstrating the capability for high-resolution deep-tissue imaging.

traffic data from a business network with There are 470 APs.), this
research provides a thorough examination of the temporal and
geographical dynamics of network traffic. Time series data forecasting
is given a new spin with the help of machine learning models built on
the Transformer framework. This approach uses the brain’s attentional
processes to analyze time series data for hidden dynamics and complex
patterns. Notably, the analysis identifies high-traffic-utilization AP
groups exhibiting robust seasonality patterns, alongside those devoid of
such patterns. Several different types of forecasting methods are used
and evaluated in this research, among them the Holt-Winters technique, a
SARIMA model, a GRU model, a CNN model, and a model based on
convolutional neural networks. In conclusion, the research sheds light
on the complex patterns underlying network traffic and presents an
innovative forecasting approach, bolstering the potential for improved
wireless network resource management.

Published: October 2023

Objective: To investigate the causal effect of sense of coherence on long-term work participation after rehabilitation, including stratification by age and diagnoses.
Design: Longitudinal cohort study.
Participants: Patients aged ≤ 60 years, employed and accepted for somatic interprofessional rehabilitation in 2015 (n = 192).
Methods: Patients reported sense of coherence before rehabilitation in 2015 and mental and physical functioning in 2016. Register data were used to measure work participation during 2018 and days working without social security benefits during 2016–18. Regression models were used to explore the total effect of sense of coherence and the possible mediation of functioning. Results are reported as odds ratios (95% confidence intervals).
Results: During 2018, 77% of the total study cohort participated in work activities. The subgroup with musculoskeletal diagnoses had the fewest days of working without social security benefits. A causal relationship was found between sense of coherence and long-term work participation. Some of the effect of sense of coherence was mediated by mental functioning. The total effect of sense of coherence was strongest for patients with musculo-skeletal diagnoses (work participation: 1.11 (1.05, 1.17), days working without social security benefits: 1.05 (0.01, 109)).
Conclusion: Improving coping resources may be beneficial to facilitate long-term work participation after injury or illness, especially for individuals with musculoskeletal diagnoses.
