Published: January 2022

The article presents the results of studies of the influence of fertilizer, weight of planting tubers and varietal characteristics on the duration of phenological phases of potato varieties of different ripeness groups. In the Laperla variety, seedlings appeared for 31-32 days, depending on the weight of the tubers, in the Granada variety, for 33-34 days, and in the Memphis variety, for 35-36 days. That is, there is a general prolongation of the period of emergence of seedlings depending on the group of ripeness of potatoes. The budding phase used to occur in the Laperla variety - on 48-49 days, a little later in the Granada variety - on 53-54 days and even later in the Memphis variety - on 56-57 days. A similar trend was observed in the flowering phase, which occurred most rapidly in the early-maturing variety Laperla - 65-66 days, a little later in the variety Granada - 69-70 days and the longest in the variety Memphis - 74-75 days.
Due to the increase in topical fertilization with the dose of N45P45K45 against the background of 40 t / ha of semi-roasted manure under the predecessor - winter wheat and Kalimagnesia K56Mg16S30 under the main tillage of potatoes and Amophos N10P46 prolongation of the onset of phenological phases of growth and development. Thus, in the Laperla variety the seedlings appeared on days 38-39, in the Granada variety on the 38th and 39th days, and in the Memphis variety on the 41st and 42nd days. The onset of the budding phase in this variant of the experiment in the variety Laperla was observed for 54-55 days, in the variety Granada for 58-59 days, and in the variety Memphis for 61-62 days. The onset of the flowering phase in the Laperla variety was observed for 72-73 days, in the Granada variety for 74-75 days, and in the Memphis variety for 80 days.

The article presents the results of studying the impact of foliar fertilization with Ekolist Mono Zinc microfertilizer on the complex of economically valuable traits and productivity of maize hybrids of different maturity groups. The research has been conducted for studying the dependence of the timing of foliar fertilization on the level of productivity of corn.
Field research was established during 2019-2020 in the research field of the Department of Plant Breeding, Breeding and Bioenergy Crops of SE "Kordelivske" IC NAANU Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. The soil of the experimental site - dark gray is characterized by the following agrochemical parameters: humus content - 3.27%, nitrogen supply (by the method of Cornfield) low - 116 mg / kg of soil, mobile phosphorus compounds (by Chyrykov method) average - 95 mg / kg of soil , and high potassium - 137 mg / kg of soil, pH - 6.5. A two-factor experiment with corn was established by the method of split plots. The study was performed in quadruplicate. The sown area of the plot is 50 m2, the accounting area is 25 m2. Observations and crop accounting were performed according to generally accepted methods. Studies have shown that the largest increase in plant height (11-18 cm) and the height of attachment of cobs was observed in variants with two foliar feeding of corn with microfertilizer Ecolist Mono Zinc. Application of Ekolist Mono Zinc microfertilizer in the phase of 5-7 and 10-12 corn leaves provides the highest value of cob length: DKS 2971 (FAO 200) - 22.0 cm, DKS 3476 (FAO 260) - 25.2 cm and DKS 3511 330) - 26.0 cm, increases the weight of 1000 grains by 7.5-12.4%, protein content by 0.07-0.15%, reduces the fat content by 0.01-0.20% compared with the control. The highest value of yield of the studied maize hybrids was obtained by double application of microfertilizer Ecolist Mono Zinc in the phase of 5-7 and 10-12 leaves of corn, and on average for two years it was: DKS 2971 (FAO 200) - 7.5 t / ha, DKS 3476 (FAO 260) - 9.8 t / ha and DKS 3511 (FAO 330) - 10.4 t / ha, while the control yield was 6.6; 8.8 and 9.0 t / ha, respectively.
Taking into consideration the results of the analysis of economic indicators of cultivation of maize hybrid DKS 3511 (FAO 330), the highest value of gross production per 1 ha - 41.44 thousand UAH / ha - was obtained on the option with double application of microfertilizer Ecolist Mono Zinc in phase 5-7 and 10-12 leaves of corn, the lowest cost of grain is set - 156.5 UAH / c. The final indicator of economic efficiency - the level of profitability - was the highest and amounted to 254.5%.
Thus, foliar fertilization increases the yield of maize hybrids of different maturity groups, improves the quality of grain in terms of chemical composition and optimizes the value of economically valuable traits.

Published: January 2022

The relevance of the study to establish methods of storing corn grain is related to the problem that exists in the technology of storage of crops of different crops. Methods and material and technical base with preservation do not fully take into account the characteristics of individual crops as objects of storage, which leads to loss of products and deterioration of its quality. There is also no technical and technological assessment of new methods of storage and granaries, including metal type. The article presents the results of research, which revealed the peculiarities of storage of corn grain in metal granaries. The temperature regime, which is formed in different places of the embankment and grain quality indicators - humidity, purity, acidity, viability (germination) depending on the thermal protection of the storage are established. Layers of grain embankment were found in the warehouse, where unfavorable conditions for preservation and stable condition of products are created. The technical and technological assessment was carried out and the efficiency of different granaries was determined depending on the storage and the direction of its use.
As a result of the conducted researches the technical and technologicalcharacteristic of various ways applied to storage of grain is made, their advantages and lacks are established. For the purpose of safe storage in metal granaries it is recommended to carry out their thermal protection by drawing heat-insulating material on external walls of storage. For long-term storage of corn grain stocks, its humidity should not exceed 12% with the removal of the total mass of the unstable fraction. In the long run, it is necessary to reduce the storage of grain in a controlled gaseous environment, as one that increases a high degree of preservation of products and their quality.

This article provides an economic assessment of the elements of the technology for growing chickpea. The most effective aspects of the cultivation technology are highlighted, which provide the maximum increase in the productivity of chickpea plants and high economic efficiency. Assessing the economic efficiency of growing chickpeas and other agricultural crops in agricultural enterprises, first of all, it is necessary to determine the system of interrelated indicators that will objectively show its level. For this, they are often used both in value and in kind. According to the research results, the indicators of economic and energy efficiency of seed treatment before sowing and foliar dressing in the elements of chickpea cultivation technology, which were the object of study, were determined. The economic efficiency of growing chickpea grain in the Pravoberezhnaya forest-steppe was determined by the following indicators: the cost of production per 1 ha, the cost of 1 ton of grain, costs per 1 ha, net profit per hectare, and the level of profitability. During the calculation, the following research results were used: those that form the selling price – grain yield, yield increase, protein and fat content, and those that make up the cost of production – production costs. According to the exchange prices, the cost of chickpea grain is rather unstable and fluctuates in a wide range – from UAH 10,000 to UAH 30,000 per 1 ton. The cost of production from 1 hectare was set taking into account the price of chickpeas as of 31.12. 2019, which averaged UAH 20,000. When treating seeds before sowing with bioinoculant Rizoline + Rhizosave and two foliar feeding with micronutrient fertilizer, the legume yield of the Pegasus variety was high. net profit at the level of 17,815 rubles / ha with a profitability level of 155%, which is 68% more for control, for the Triumph variety – 15793 UAH / ha and 139%, which is 62% more for control. Considering the structure of costs, we can conclude that the maximum costs were respectively for the following categories of costs: for protective equipment – 21.5%, seeds – 34.9% and fuels and lubricants – 15.3%. Hence, a significant part of the costs falls on other costs, which include deductions for depreciation and repair non-current assets.

Role Of Cbct In The Treatment Of Orbital Floor Blow Out Fractures In Children
Authors: Khan Sher Ali
Published: January 2022

Background, Aim, and Objectives: Orbital floor blow out fractures are uncommon in children but can present with a dilemma in the Emergency department upon presentation. We collected case reports of 17 cases over a three-year period. The patients were selected from the age group six to 13 years of age with history of trivial blunt orbital trauma. The main complaint was mild pain in the eye upon presentation. Five patients were having clinical presentation of oculo-cardiac reflex. The suspected patients underwent Cone Beam CT of the midface with multiplanar cone beam reconstruction which confirmed the diagnosis of orbital floor fractures with trap door defect or minimal displacement and in a few cases inferior rectus entrapment. Orbital floor trapdoor fractures have oblivious features upon presentation and can easily be overlooked if not evaluated managed by expert healthcare providers which can lead to significant morbidity and even mortality in patients with oculocardiac reflex. Cone Beam CT of mid face with multiplanar reconstruction is the standard of care in the diagnosis and management of white eyed blow out orbital floor fractures in the provision of evidenced based healthcare practice.

Methodology: This is a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the results of pediatric age group with trapdoor and blow out orbital floor fractures who underwent CBCT for the diagnosis and further management. Seventeen cases were selected who were in the age group between 6 to 13 years.12 cases underwent surgery for orbital floor exploration and nine were having inferior rectus muscle entrapment which was released. Five patients were managed non surgically.

Result: One patient disappeared in this group during one-year post-operative follow up. No residual defect was found in the remaining sixteen patients. Cone beam Computer tomography with multiplanar reconstruction should be the standard of care for the diagnosis and treatment of blow out and trapdoor orbital fractures.

Strength and limitations: Although this study is of a limited number of pediatric patients, but it highlights the significance of CBCT in the management of trapdoor and blow out orbital floor fractures in children. Further studies are needed to elaborate the utilization of CBCT in the treatment of orbital floor and medial orbital wall fractures.

Conclusion: Our study suggests that CBCT has a higher value of specificity and less radiation exposure in the diagnosis of orbital fractures in pediatric age group when there is isolated orbital or mid face trauma, and CT brain is not recommended. Cone Beam CT with multiplanar reconstruction is considered the standard of care in the diagnosis of white eyed blow out orbital floor fractures in the provision of evidenced based healthcare practice. Perioperative CBCT and navigation should be universalized to achieve the best outcome.

Authors: Slater Gordon
Published: January 2022

Recent developments in surgical techniques have led to new methods to treat ankle arthritis and perhaps produce a better effect on joint function and gait improvement. The indications for total ankle replacement, ankle fusion, or distraction arthroplasty in the management of ankle arthritis are controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate different approaches with an overview of the literature.

Core tip: Ankle arthritis is a common debilitating chronic disease that is not only present in the geriatric population, but also younger populations. The main method to treat end stage arthritis is ankle fusion. Ankle replacement is currently improving in popularity. Both treatment options manage end stage arthritis. It is important to consider the role of distraction arthroplasty in the context of these two other well accepted treatments. Here we examine the literature from 1941 to 2020 considering our own experience and the growing role regenerative techniques and biologics.
Stem Cells Use As A Therapy For Huntington's Disease
Authors: Gallicchio Vincent S.
Published: January 2022

Huntington's disease is a progressive genetic neurodegenerative disease that causes the loss of medium spiny neurons in the brain's striatum. Huntington's is caused by a trinucleotide repeat, specifically CAG base pairs. The CAG repeat can cause a mutant form of the huntingtin protein to be produced. The exact mode in which the mutant protein causes the disease is still uncertain. However, patients with Huntington's experience a plethora of motor and cognitive issues. Currently, there is no cure for Huntington's; only means of symptom management exist. Stem cells are being studied as a therapeutic option in HD treatment as well as models of disease pathology. Various types of stem cells have been analyzed for their varying attractive qualities. Embryonic, neural, mesenchymal, adipose, and induced pluripotent stem cells have been studied using animal models. In this article, we will examine the cultivation, attributes, and any drawbacks of each of the mentioned stem cell types as means of therapeutic devices for HD.

Purpose. Determination of the efficiency of functioning of the centrifugal dust collector of exhaust ventilation air when supplied to the heat exchanger, and the parameters of the dedusting device.
Methods. The specificity of the problem being solved determines the use of an analytical method for research, which allows us to consider the general scheme of the process flow, without specifying the dimensional characteristics. The research technique involves the compilation of differential equations of the motion of particles in a swirling air flow and determination of the trajectory of their movement.
Results. The possibility and feasibility of using a direct-flow cyclone for dedusting ventilation emissions from an industrial premises before feeding to a heat recovery unit is considered. To assess the efficiency of dust cleaning, a mathematical description of the dynamics of motion of dust particles in a vortex flow of a direct-flow cyclone has been formulated. Analytical dependences are obtained, according to which the trajectories of motion of dust particles in projections onto the transverse and longitudinal planes of the cyclone body are calculated. The formulas obtained make it possible to determine the design and operating parameters of the dedusting device and to estimate the size of particles, the capture of which is provided by the proposed device.
Conclusions
1. A rational layout diagram of a heat recovery system for ventilation air of industrial facilities has been determined, which in series connects a once-through cyclone with an impeller and a tube-plate heat exchanger.
2. A mathematical description of the dynamics of the motion of dust particles in a vortex flow has been formulated and investigated, and calculation formulas have been obtained for calculating the trajectories of motion of particles, which are used to determine the design and operating parameters of a direct-flow dust cleaner.

Authors: Pykett Alisa , Ledin Dorothea , Flanagan Constance , Barrett Claire
Published: January 2022

Drawing upon Dewey’s centering of science as a tool for democracy, the emerging field of civic science aims to strengthen the ties between science, citizenship, and democracy (Bäckstrand, 2003; Garlick & Levine, 2017; Spencer, 2015). In this study, we seek to understand whether and how university students who are aspiring scientists and science teachers develop civic-minded dispositions and competencies that are essential components of civic science. This study uses a qualitative research design that is exploratory yet conceptually rooted in civic development theory and the emergent civic science approaches (Flanagan, 2013). Using prompted reflections aimed at the intersection of scientific and civic realms, this study explores the ways in which university students who participated in a service-learning course facilitating science outreach for youth over two semesters 1) made meaning of the connections between scientific and civic skills and dispositions; and 2) how the service-learning experience influenced their civic identities.

Authors: Hart Steven , Wandeler Christian
Published: January 2022

Using both quantitative and qualitative data, the study discussed in this article examined the effects of participating in an action civics service-learning program on civic commitment and civic competence. The sample consisted of 393 eighth-grade students in three diverse middle schools from urban and rural contexts. Though previous research has demonstrated positive influences of service-learning on youth civic development, few studies have focused on younger adolescents and underrepresented populations, particularly Latino students. The results of this study indicated that a school-based action civics service-learning program may support the development of middle school students’ civic commitment and competence. A significant effect was found in relation to gender, with females reporting significantly higher levels of civic commitment and competence than males. The results demonstrated the complexity of developing civic dispositions, as project characteristics and implementation procedures influenced students’ participation levels and civic outcomes.

Authors: Paulson Lauren
Published: January 2022

The purpose of the mixed-methods action research study discussed in this article was to examine the impact of community service-learning (CSL) in a rural community on 45 undergraduate students enrolled in a clinical psychology course. The study sought to develop a new contextualized grounded theory and richer understanding of the phenomenon of CSL in a rural community with undergraduate psychology students. Qualitative data were collected at multiple stages through a reflective paper and two open-ended questions administered to students at the end of the CSL experience. In addition, individual interviews were conducted with the CSL partners. Quantitative data were collected through two surveys (pre- and post-CSL) to measure outcomes related to specific course objectives. Overall, the qualitative results suggested that the CSL component aligned well with the clinical psychology course and influenced the students’ academic, personal, social, civic, and diversity learning outcomes. In addition, students reported experiences that were unique to working in the rural context, while the community partners shared both the benefits and challenges of working with the students. The implications of the findings and practical recommendations are discussed.

Published: January 2022

Postsecondary institutions continue to search for effective approaches that enhance the educational success of their students, especially underrepresented students. For the longitudinal archival study discussed in this article, the authors investigated the role that students’ participation in service-learning during their first year of college played in their educational success. Two cohorts of undergraduate students who entered a large public research university in fall 2011 and fall 2012 were analyzed. By following the two cohorts for five or six years (up to fall 2017), the authors examined the differences in various educational outcomes between students who participated in a service-learning course during their first year and those who did not take service-learning courses throughout their college years. To account for students’ pre-college academic performance and personal characteristics, the authors used propensity score matching (PSM) to form comparison groups for each of the two treatment cohorts, and they performed parallel analyses for both the full sample and a sub-sample that included only underrepresented students. Analyses of the full sample revealed that for both the 2011 and 2012 cohorts, students who took a service-learning course in the first year achieved higher year-to-year cumulative GPAs and had significantly higher four-year graduation rates than did students who did not participate in service-learning during their college years. The findings for the underrepresented student subsample were similar but less consistent. Among explanations for the difference is less power given the smaller sample. However, more data are yet needed to understand better the relation of first-year service-learning participation among underrepresented students with educational success compared to students from the overall student population. Implications for future research are discussed.
Exposing Vocabulary Learning in Service Learning
Authors: Walls Laura , Tocaimaza-Hatch C. Cecilia
Published: January 2022

Research has shown that the implementation of service-learning (SL) in language instruction promotes language learning. However, little is known about how SL mediates specific linguistic outcomes such as vocabulary learning. The purpose of the study discussed in this article was to first examine whether vocabulary learning occurred in SL, then to determine how potential gains compared to those resulting from traditional classroom practices, and finally to explore the SL learning context in order to identify how and where vocabulary learning occurred. The case study relied on data from 20 participants enrolled in an advanced Spanish conversation course who translated lesson plans for a nonprofit organization that runs after-school programs. While quantitative data (in the form of pre- and post-tests) demonstrated learning in both SL and the classroom, qualitative interview data highlighted how SL mediated vocabulary learning. Key findings suggest that the inclusion of SL doubled lexical gains for learners enrolled in the course, and that gains resulting from SL in particular resulted from learners’ active involvement in meaning-rich activities, which were conducive to spontaneous retention of vocabulary.
A Simple, Practical Framework for Organizing Relationship-based Reciprocity in Service-learning Experiences: Insights from Anthropology
Authors: Bennett Elaine
Published: January 2022

Among service-learning and community engagement scholars, there exist diverse positions on what qualifies as valid, appropriate, and desirable in the structure and outcomes of service-learning experiences. While most agree that reciprocity is a key principle of the pedagogy, “reciprocity” is often descriptive rather than operationalized for practical application. This article applies the anthropological conceptualization of reciprocity as a social process of relationship building through exchange in order to analyze the nature of engagement among the various parties in two different models of course-based service-learning. From this analysis emerges a practical, relationship-based, planning framework for establishing norms, moderating expectations, and evaluating outcomes. Focusing on a set of simple questions about service-learning relationships, objectives, structure, outcomes, and resulting relationships (ROSOR), the framework offers a simple way for instructors and their community partners to navigate the discourse on service-learning and develop impactful relationships.

CIMIC and Peacekeeping 'Effectiveness': The Role of 'Communication' as a Critical Interface in Evolving UNPKO Dynamics
Authors: Abdul Wassay Muhammad , Anwar Butt Faruzan
Published: January 2022

‘Communication,’ as an ongoing process underlying civil-military interaction, may be taken as a key component in conceptualizing Civil-Military Coordination (CIMIC) in the context of peacekeeping. Consequently, it allows for a process-centric understanding of peacekeeping ‘effectiveness,’ particularly in the light of the growing disconnect between the functional dynamics of on-ground missions and broader overarching doctrine/principles. Transitional and Protection of Civilians (POC) mandates compel United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKOs) to operate on the margins of existing doctrine, requiring personnel engaged in conflict management to cultivate and exercise a broader skillset than one initially associated with traditional peacekeeping. Given this background, this research utilizes ‘scenario-based interviews’ so as to engage with the self-reflexive praxis of veteran Pakistani peacekeepers having served in integrated/hybrid missions. In doing so, it attempts to conceptualize communication as a process premised on the ‘shared intentionality’ of both military and civil personnel, utilizing de Coning’s peacekeeping dimension. Inputs received from the interview process are analyzed using a model conceptualizing communication as a process essential to the realization of successful PKO outcomes. Two key subthemes emerging from the interview process, i.e., crisis management/risk perception and resource management are discussed in relation to decisional processes and ‘bounded rationality’ constraints attending inter-and intra-group communication under CIMIC in peacekeeping spaces.
Education for Sustainable Development and Social Tolerance: Evidence from Teacher Education Institutions in Pakistan
Authors: Jamshaid Amber
Published: January 2022

Education for sustainable development is an evolving notion in teacher education that highlights the need for tolerance, acceptance, and diversity. Therefore, there is a greater need to elucidate the contributions of teacher educators in promoting social tolerance through Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). In addition, it is crucial to understand the challenges faced by teacher educators while dealing with the intolerant, extremist views and/or behaviors in a particular social setting. In doing so, this research interviewed teacher educators (N=12) through a purposive sampling strategy to determine the respondents’ views about the promotion of social tolerance strategies integrated with ESD. The data was analyzed through qualitative data analysis software (NVivo) and themes were extracted based on the analysis plots. The research argues that the promotion of social tolerance within teacher education through ESD is a multi-layered process and requires attention at the policy level. It suggests that the existing structure of the Teacher Education program and the curricula are barely in line with the indicated ESD contents and strategies (integration with teaching and learning) needed to promote social tolerance and societal peace in Pakistan.
The Influence of Globalization on Insurgency: Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab in the Age of Information Technology
Authors: Adeyeye Adebowale Idowu , Akinrinde Olawale Olufemi , Omodunbi Olumide Olumuyiwa
Published: January 2022

Without a doubt, Africa is presently faced with violence, war, and acts of terrorism arising from the activities of insurgents. This paper examines the ways globalization aids insurgent activities and increasing manipulation of globalization by insurgents. It also looks at the negative impacts of violence and the need to find solutions to the insurgents’ activities that have generated concerns for the contemporary global system. The issues raised are significant considering the need to find solutions to the violence in the continent. This paper argues that just as globalization has encouraged increased technology, lowered transportation cost, increased trade, and capital flow, and the overall economic growth of nation-states; it has also allowed insurgency and terrorism to spread easily; serving as a sanctuary to insurgent groups and aiding the activities of insurgents. Although globalization has been fingered as a factor in some cases of insurgency, it is not itself the main cause of insurgency; however, globalization has dramatically helped transform the strategies, tactics, and the overallactivities of insurgents in the past two decades. This is because insurgents have directly and indirectly manipulated the faceless character of globalization to carry out their activities, especially Al-Shabaab in Kenya and Boko Haram in Nigeria. The paper states that just as insurgents have exploited globalization to perpetrate terror, globalization can also be used as a vital tool in counter-insurgency (COIN) and theWar on Terror (WoT).

As part of the outer cell wall of gram-negative bacteria endotoxins can be found ubiquitous in nature. So far most studies on airborne endotoxins focussed on occupational environments. In Germany IFA-Arbeitsmappe 9450 gives recommendations for sampling and analysis of endotoxins at workplaces. However, apart from background measurements for workplace evaluations, there are currently no guidelines in Germany for endotoxin measurements at environmental settings. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test whether PM10 sampling on filters with a high volume sampler and determination of endotoxin concentration via LAL assay are suitable methods for a new guideline for measurement of endotoxin concentration in ambient air. Over the course of one year endotoxin concentration was investigated at three different rural sampling spots. Annual median endotoxin concentration over all samples was 0.143 EU/m3. Between different sampling spots no significant differences in endotoxin concentrations were observed, yet endotoxin concentration in ambient air showed an obvious seasonal course. The applied methods have proven suitable for the analysis of endotoxins in the outdoor air, although further standardization is needed before implementation in a guideline.

Der Kreistag Freising hat eine Messkampagne initiiert, mit dem Ziel, die Ultrafeinstaub-Belastung im Umland des Flughafens München und deren Rückgang während des Corona-bedingten Lockdowns zu ermitteln. Dazu wurden von Juni bis August 2020 an sieben Standorten in und um den Flughafen München Konzentrationen von ultrafeinen Partikeln (UFP) mit Discmini-Geräten gemessen und, soweit vorhanden, mit bereits vor dem Lockdown erfassten Daten verglichen. Der Konzentrationsverlauf der UFP während der Lockdown-Monate im Frühjahr 2020 zeigt am Flughafen München einen engen Zusammenhang mit der Zahl der Flugbewegungen. So wurden im Februar 2020 direkt am Flughafen bei 1 020 Flugbewegungen pro Tag durchschnittlich rund 51 000 1/cm3 gemessen. Im Lockdown sank die Konzentration im April 2020 auf rund 7 000 1/cm3 bei 68 Flugbewegungen pro Tag. Das entspricht einem Rückgang von ca. 95 %, parallel zum Rückgang der Zahl der Flugbewegungen. Mit steigender Zahl an Flügen erhöht sich auch die UFP-Konzentration wieder. Bei Wind aus Richtung Flughafen ist die UFP-Konzentration eng mit der Entfernung des Messstandortes zum Flughafen korreliert. Selbst bei stark reduzierten Flugzahlen wurde in 11 km Entfernung noch die 1,5-fache UFP-Konzentration im Vergleich zu unbelasteter Luft gemessen. Es gibt wirksame Möglichkeiten und Maßnahmen, die UFP-Mengen aus dem Flugverkehr zu reduzieren. Dazu gehören die Entschwefelung des Kerosins, die Elektrifizierung des gesamten Bodenverkehrs einschließlich des Einsatzes von emissionsfreien Flugzeugschleppern vom und zum Gate und die Vermeidung unnötiger Flüge – vor allem solcher Flüge, die durch umweltschonendere Verkehrsträger bedient werden können (z. B. Ersatz von Kurzstreckenflügen durch die Bahn).

The purpose of this study was to identify the features of the state of the respiratory system and cardiac activity in children with autonomic dysfunctions, depending on gender. We examined 243 adolescents 12-18 years old with clinically and laboratory-instrumental confirmed dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system - autonomic dystonia syndrome. It was found that signs of cardiac abnormalities are more often observed in adolescents with SVD with a history of perinatal pathology, mostly in males. The risk of developing violations of bronchial patency was identified in adolescents with SVD with a history of perinatal pathology, to a greater extent in females.

Media sosial merupakan pangsa pasar yang sangat besar bagi pelaku usaha karena memiliki jumlah pengguna yang tinggi. Hal ini dapat dimanfaatkan oleh pelaku usaha untuk memasarkan produk atau jasa mereka dengan bantuan influencer. Pemilihan influencer yang tepat dapat meningkatkan jumlah transaksi, namun pemilik usaha juga dapat mengalami kerugian apabila bekerja sama dengan influencer bercitra negatif.

Salah satu cara menemukan influencer yang tepat adalah dengan menggunakan sistem rekomendasi berbasis knowledge-based filtering. Sistem ini dapat menerima masukan dari pengguna sesuai kebutuhan usaha masing-masing dan mengeluarkan rekomendasi influencer.

Sistem rekomendasi memanfaatkan dua atribut, yaitu engagement rate dan growth rate. Engagement rate digunakan sebagai indikator keaktifan komunikasi antara influencer dengan follower. Growth rate digunakan sebagai indikator popularitas influencer.
Is there a correlation between complete blood count parameters and nutritional risk score 2002, geriatric nutritional risk index and nutric score in geriatric patients admitted to intensive care unit

Published: January 2022

Aim: Malnutrition is a common condition especially in geriatric patients admitted to intensive care. There are various screening tools to be used in the evaluation of nutritional status in geriatric patients hospitalized in intensive care. However, a laboratory test has not been found yet for nutritional status assessment. With this study, we aimed to investigate whether there is a correlation between NLR, PLR, and complete blood count parameters at the time of admission to the intensive care unit and NRS-2002, GNRI, and mNutric Score measured in the intensive care unit.

Material and Method: This retrospective study was performed in a tertiary intensive care unit of a Chest Diseases Hospital. Patients aged 65 and over were included in the study. Demographic data, length of stay in intensive care, complete blood count on the day of admission to the intensive care unit, albumin value, NLR, PLR, NRS-2002, GNRI, and mNutric Score values were recorded.

Results: A total of 218 geriatric patients were analyzed. It was determined that 72.5% of the patients were at medium/high risk in terms of nutritional risk according to the GNRI classification, 76.6% were at high risk according to NRS-2002, and 84.9% were at high risk according to the mNutric score. According to the GNRI, the MPV values were statistically significantly higher (p

Kinnow is the sole exportable entity among citrus fruits of Pakistan, but occurrence of large seed number is a big hindrance towards consumer acceptability and processing industry. Production of a less seeded/seedless Kinnow could boost the market value globally. The study described here was conducted at Horticultural research Station Sahiwal, Punjab Pakistan during 2018-2020. Specific morphological traits (linked to tree, leaf, and fruit) and physical and biochemical traits (linked to fruits) were evaluated to make a comparison between conventionally growing Kinnow and a novel less seeded Kinnow strain. Most of the estimated characters varied in their performance and were comparatively better in seeded Kinnow but performance of less seeded Kinnow strain was also quite good and promising.  It was concluded from the study that less seeded Kinnow strain is almost equally good in performance regarding physical and nutritional features and can prove to be a great contribution towards expanding the citrus industry to fetch higher market value both in domestic and international markets.

With an equilibrium temperature above 2500 K, the recently discovered HAT-P-70b belongs to a new class of exoplanets known as ultrahot Jupiters: extremely irradiated gas giants with day-side temperatures that resemble those found in stars. These ultrahot Jupiters are among the most amenable targets for follow-up atmospheric characterization through transmission spectroscopy. Here, we present the first analysis of the transmission spectrum of HAT-P-70b using high-resolution data from the HARPS-N spectrograph of a single-transit event. We use a cross-correlation analysis and transmission spectroscopy to look for atomic and molecular species in the planetary atmosphere. We detect absorption by Ca ii, Cr i, Cr ii, Fe i, Fe ii, H i, Mg i, Na i, and V i, and we find tentative evidence of Ca i and Ti ii. Overall, these signals appear blueshifted by a few km s−1, suggestive of winds flowing at high velocity from the day side to the night side. We individually resolve the Ca ii H and K lines, the Na i doublet, and the Hα, Hβ, and Hγ Balmer lines. The cores of the Ca ii and H i lines form well above the continuum, indicating the existence of an extended envelope. We refine the obliquity of this highly misaligned planet to
