Authors: Ruiz Sternberg Ángela María , Barajas Sandoval Eduardo
Published: October 2022

La irrupción del VIH-SIDA en el panorama de las enfermedades contemporáneas, significó retos insospechados para la ciencia y desató fenómenos inéditos dentro de la cultura popular y el manejo de las políticas públicas. Este artículo hace un recuento de la lucha contra la pandemia desde los momentos inciertos de las exploraciones iniciales para identificar su origen, hasta el hallazgo de medicamentos antivirales que han logrado frenar el ritmo de su expansión. Además de repasar las cifras de los estragos que el SIDA ha causado en ciertas poblaciones, presenta la secuencia de las principales creencias y reacciones sociales que, por una parte facilitaron el surgimiento de una cultura de discriminación en contra de ciertos grupos sociales, y por otra, motivaron acciones de defensa de las víctimas de la pandemia y de solidaridad con la causa de luchar contra el contagio del virus. Finalmente, entra de lleno a presentar el SIDA como problema público y describe el proceso del desarrollo científico que, a partir de la identificación del VIH, condujo a la producción de antivirales, siempre con la mirada puesta en la obtención de una vacuna
Siglo XXI: el siglo de las enfermedades causadas por coronavirus, SARS / MERS / covid-19
Authors: Alvarez Moreno Carlos Arturo
Published: October 2022

En las primeras dos décadas del siglo XXI, la humanidad ha sido testigo de tres brotes de nuevos coronavirus de origen zoonótico. Estas tres betas de coronavirus, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV y el más reciente, el SARS-CoV-2, comparten un posible reservorio común, el murciélago. De manera diferente, han llegado a infectar a los seres humanos y han causado síndromes respiratorios severos: SARS, MERS y la COVID-19, respectivamente, con diferentes tasas de letalidad. En este artículo se describen las características de cada uno de ellos y se comparan desde el punto de vista biológico, epidemiológico y clínico.
Pensamientos sobre economía de la salud y la pandemia del covid-19
Authors: Ariza Lozano Juan Guillermo
Published: October 2022

Este es un ensayo corto, que analiza el impacto del Covid-19 desde la óptica de la economía de la salud. La relación entre economía y salud es un círculo que se retroalimenta en doble vía, para bien o para mal no se pueden separar. Esta interacción entre economía y salud se hace conflictiva cuando la analizamos en la crisis actual del Covid-19. La actividad económica facilita el resurgimiento de nuevas pandemias, y éstas responden con efectos negativos sobre la dinámica económica y sobre la salud de los más desfavorecidos (aumentando la brecha de riqueza y salud).

Pandemias como las del Covid-19, agudizan las fallas de mercado y la incertidumbre dentro del sector salud. En los brotes epidémicos, el consumo de servicios de salud se detona como un evento inesperado que afecta a un gran número de personas en un periodo de tiempo corto. Las medidas de salud pública -encaminadas a reducir el contagio- rivalizan con otros bienes y formas de producir salud. Sin embargo, no es tan claro que las medidas de salud pública más flexibles, reduzcan el impacto sobre las variables económicas como el empleo. El impacto de lo inesperado, acelera la transformación de la oferta en salud hacia modelos de atención soportadas en soluciones digitales y en el cuidado remoto. Sin embargo, queda en tela de juicio la capacidad de los sistemas de salud para afrontar este tipo de disrupciones.

Durante todo el 2020 la pandemia por el nuevo coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) trajo dificultades económicas y en salud a nivel mundial. Al ser desconocida planteó una serie de interrogantes y retos en todos los países que la han enfrentado con diferentes abordajes. Es necesario describir los modelos de afrontamiento en Colombia y sus resultados. Método: Estudio de corte transversal, usando como fuentes las bases de datos del Ministerio de Salud y del Instituto Nacional de Salud colombianos con fecha de corte al 31de agosto de 2020, 679.553 registros en la primera base, se retiraron 308 registros incompletos (0,0004%), se obtuvieron datos de morbimortalidad, de dinámica y canales endémicos para el país y su capital. Resultados: La pandemia se encontraba en un acmé, las medidas de control demoraron su progresión, permitieron disponer recursos físicos y humanos suficientes. La mortalidad fue similar a la descrita en otros estudios, pero la femenina fue mayor en Bogotá, los canales endémicos muestran que en todo momento la pandemia se encontró en niveles de alarma. Conclusiones: La magnitud de esta pandemia se asoció inicialmente con factores biológicos. Posteriormente, la velocidad de progresión y la morbimortalidad se asociaron con factores socioculturales que requieren ser entendidos con abordajes cuanticualitativos para el diseño de intervenciones integrales. De no realizarlos, en ausencia de medidas biológicas efectivas, rebrotes y nuevas oleadas son impredecibles. Las cuarentenas a largo plazo no son factibles en países como Colombia; se debe hacer énfasis en medidas educativas y socioculturales. Por ahora, convivir sin ellas es sinónimo de enfermedad.

Posteriormente, siendo aún muy niño, como él mismo lo dice en una autobiografía, “desfilé con mi familia por varios pueblos de la geografía colombiana hasta encontrar la paz en San José de Guasimales -Cúcuta- donde me dediqué a mi formación académica”. Cursó sus estudios de bachillerato con los hermanos lasallistas en el Colegio Sagrado Corazón de Jesús entre 1957 y 1964, y se graduó de bachiller con honores. Se formó como médico en la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, bajo la tutela de Andrés Soriano Lleras, profesor y consejero -como él lo llamaba- y José Félix Patiño, profesor y amigo. Su medicatura rural en Yaguará (Huila), fueron dos años de vida bucólica en compañía de su esposa y su hijo mayor, con la cercanía de parientes huilenses, sirios y libaneses que ampliaron su cosmovisión. Hizo su residencia de neurocirugía en el hospital de La Hortúa, donde terminó su especialización en 1978. Luego se trasladó a Cúcuta donde fue neurocirujano de planta del Hospital San Juan de Dios, del Instituto de los Seguros Sociales, del Hospital Erasmo Meoz y cofundador de CONEURO SAS, la entidad prestadora de servicios neurológicos y neuroquirúrgicos más importante de la región.
Co-Creating for Resilience – Development of Transdisciplinary Skills and Competencies in Higher Education
Authors: Gunness Sandhya , Rampersad Rubina Devi , Daradoumis Thanasis , Ittea Reena
Published: October 2022

This paper presents the co-creation of a University-wide Open Educational Resource (OER) on Transdisciplinary Skills and Competencies for enhancing graduate employment with the necessary knowledge, values, and attitudes for building a more resilient workforce in an increasingly uncertain future. The four Key Pillars underlying education and life from the highly influential, and increasingly relevant, Delor’s report (1996) underpinned the development of future-thinking stances for the first-year students as they engaged with learning activities that enabled them to: 1. Learn to know: Investigate their own learning and courses with more agency and depth through metacognitive strategies. 2. Learn to do: Relate theoretical knowledge to more relevant, practical, transdisciplinary applications through collaboration on working towards solution-oriented and challenge-based learning. 3. Learn to live together: This entails the cross-fertilization and respect of each-others’ ideas to bring about innovation through a learning environment that is conducive for thriving together. 4. Learning to be: Developing the human potential to its fullest, especially the skills, competencies and attitudes required to work in an increasingly connected world with greater responsibility for the attainment of common goals. // The objective of the action research was to co-create the OER with the input of both academics and students from different faculties. The collaboratively designed learning activities were adapted to different disciplines and educational contexts to enable learners to be assessed for four main value-laden skills and competencies: a) Collaborative Networking (comprising Cultural awareness, Acknowledging differences, Personal branding, Team playing and trust building, Virtuous circles). b) Communication Networking (comprising Social and Emotional Intelligence, Technology-enhanced Communications, verbal and non-verbal communication, conflict management). c) Growth Mindsets (comprising Solution Orientedness, Grit and determination, Opportunity seeking, creative and critical thinking, design thinking. d) Professional and Ethical Practices (comprising case studies and role plays to demonstrate Social responsibility, Sustainable development, Managing ethical dilemmas and transformational leadership). // 9 faculty members and their respective students formed part of the action research and while co-creation is perhaps too innovative and disruptive for certain academics, the students were appreciative of the opportunity of having a voice and participating in the co-creation of the learning activities that would develop their full potential. This study demonstrates the need for engaging with learners so that they are aware of the active role they play in the learning environment and to build resilience and self-efficacy from within.

Published: October 2022

Background/Purpose: To evaluate cell block (CB) and cell smear (CS) techniques in the diagnostic cytology of body-cavity fluids.

Methods: The cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted based on the anatomical results of 106 patients of Viet Tiep Hospital

Results: Most of the samples were pleural fluid, accounting for 73.6%, pink fluid was the main color (46.2%), and the amount of fluid taken from each specimen was mostly from 201 - 250 ml (53.8%). Through CB, staining H&E, and immunohistochemistry, we identified 49 cancer cases, most of which were adenocarcinomas accounting for 87.8%. On the cell block technique, all adenocarcinoma samples have large cell nuclei, increased nucleus/cytoplasmic ratio, over 90% have glandular structure, over 80% of chromatin is crude, the nucleus is clear and there is space around the tumor.

Conclusion: Comparing the results of cytology between CB and CS techniques shows that CB has a higher diagnostic value.

Published: October 2022

The field experiment was carried out for two consecutive years (2014–2016) in split-plot design to investigate the effect of integrated nutrient management and crop diversification through inclusion of legume and vegetable crops in direct seeded basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.)–based cropping systems (DSRB) on nutrient availability for crop uptake. The study involved four cropping systems (CS) in main plots (DSBR‒wheat‒fallow (CS1), DSBR‒wheat‒greengram (CS2), DSBR‒cabbage‒greengram (CS3) and DSBR‒cabbage‒onion (CS4) and four nutrient management strategies under subplots (unfertilized (NS0), 100% recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) (NS1), 50% RDF + 25% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) through leaf compost (LC) + biofertilizer (NS2), 50% RDF + 25% RDN through vermicompost (VC) + biofertilizer (NS3)). The results revealed that diversification of rice–wheat system with legume (greengram) or vegetable (cabbage and onion) crops and integrated nutrient management strategies had positive effect on nutrient uptake and available nutrient status in the soil. Significantly higher uptake of N, P and K in all crops and Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu in rice and wheat were observed with NS2 and NS3 as compared to NS0. Available N, P and K status were significantly higher in NS2 and NS3 as against NS0 and NS1. Inclusion of cereal crops in the cropping systems showed a negative apparent N balance, but inclusion of vegetable crops in the cropping systems exhibited positive apparent N balance under different nutrient management strategies except NS0. The highest positive apparent N balance was observed in NS1 treatment. The apparent P balance was found to be positive in all the cropping systems with all the nutrients sources except NS0. Apparent K balance was found negative in all the cropping systems under different nutrient management strategies. Thus, cropping systems with summer greengram, cabbage and onion (CS2, CS3 and CS4) under integrated nutrient management practices (NS2 and NS3) were found more sustainable after two years of cropping cycle and can be advocated by the farmers of IGP.

Published: October 2022

A field experiment was conducted to study the comparative influence of microbial preparations ,viz. phosphate solubilizing fungi (Jumpstart 2.0), phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi and humic acid formulation (Bolt GR), in different combinations on soil microbial population and properties (Alkaline phosphatase, dehydrogenase, FDA hydrolytic activity, soil microbial biomass). Bacteria dominated the microbial population, with initial cfu level of 1.73 Ã— 107 to a maximum of 6.2 Ã— 107 gm-1 soil on 90 days after sowing (DAS) in plot, where PSB was applied @ 500 g/ ha, while plots with Jumpstart 2.0 application (@1.65 ml/ kg seed) recorded higher fungal population (7.4 Ã— 106 cfu/g). Treatments and crop age had significant impact on microbial population and their interaction was also found to be significant. Soil microbial properties also increased significantly with crop aging and reached to a higher level on 90 DAS for all the treatments. Microbial activity was invariably found to be highest in T7 treatment (application of PSF @ 0.83 ml/kg seed with humic acid @ 10 kg/ha), and lowest in control plots irrespective of sampling intervals. Results concluded that application of PSF, PSB, AM Fungi and organic formulations in different combination had favourably influenced the microbial properties of soil.

Published: October 2022

Wastewater irrigation with efficient land and water management strategies improve the marketable yield as well as reduce the pollutant threat posed by the irrigation. A field experiment was conducted for two years (2014- 2016) at ICAR- IARI farm, New Delhi to study the effect of municipal wastewater irrigation along with two land configurations (ridge and furrow and basin) and two methods of irrigation (drip and flood) on the yield of eggplant (Solanum melongena cv. Supriya) and soil health. Wastewater irrigated eggplants resulted significantly higher yield (37.1 t/ha), fruit weight (325 g) and fruit diameter (10.02 cm) in the tune of 38, 26 and 7% higher respectively over groundwater irrigated plot. Among irrigation methods, drip irrigation increased yield, fruit weight and fruit diameter of eggplant by 10, 9 and 1% higher over flood irrigation. Significantly higher fruit weight (294 g) of eggplant was recorded with the flat bed system compared to a raised bed system (288 g) and higher yield (4%) was also recorded under a flat bed system over a raised bed system. Wastewater irrigated plots recorded higher plant height, number of branches per plant as compared to groundwater irrigated plants at 120 and 180 days after transplanting. Application of wastewater significantly enhanced available N and P content and DTPA-Pb and Fe in the soil as compared to groundwater irrigated soil. Flood irrigation led to the accumulation of DTPA-Pb and Ni in soil, compared to drip irrigation. Significantly higher dehydrogenase activity, fluorescein diacetate activity and soil microbial biomass carbon were noticed in wastewater irrigated soil as compared to groundwater plots at upper depth (0-5cm). The findings of the present investigation illustrate that wastewater applied through drip irrigation resulted in yield increment as well as reduced metal concentrations in soil.

Authors: KUMAR O , JAIN N , SINGH K , RAMAWAT N , BHATIA A , SHARMA D K
Published: October 2022

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is second most important food grain after rice and is consumed in different forms. The production of wheat in India is currently facing new challenges due to increasing population and adverse impacts of climate change. The production of wheat has increased significantly after the introduction of high yielding varieties. Modern wheat cultivars require adequate amount of nitrogen (N) fertilizer and several irrigations for economical production. The amount and type of nitrogen fertilizers not only affect the production of wheat but also has impact on climate change due to emission of nitrous oxide. A field experiment was conducted in 2016-17 to study the impact of water management (3 and 5 irrigations) and nitrogen fertilizer (urea, neem coated urea (NCU), urea with thiourea, and leaf colour chart (LCC) based N application) on wheat production and profitability. The nitrogen-management practices and irrigation practices significantly influenced the yield parameters, cost of cultivation, net returns and benefit to cost ratio of wheat crop. Grain yield was increased by 15.89% (p ≥ 0.05) in 5 irrigations compared to 3 irrigations. The grain yield increased by 3.0%, 3.4% and 5.9% in treatments where N was applied using NCU, LCC based N application and urea + thiourea respectively, over urea treatment. Grain yield per kg of N applied was highest in LCC based N application treatment followed by thiourea + urea, NCU and urea N treatments. Highest gross returns was from thiourea treatment however the net returns and B: C ratio were highest in LCC based urea N application due to higher biological yield and saving of 20 kg nitrogen per ha. The study revealed that the economic performance of greenhouse gas mitigation technologies where N was applied based on the plant requirement using leaf colour chart and 5 irrigations was the best followed by application of nitrification inhibitor thiourea with urea and 5 irrigations.

An experiment was carried out to study the effect of various concentrations of boric acid and sodium benzoate on post harvest life of loose flowers of tuberose for three years from 2016 to 2018 under AICRP on Floriculture. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with four replications consisting eight treatments of chemicals, viz. boric acid (2, 3, 4 and 5%), sodium benzoate (10, 25 and 50 ppm) and control. The results of pooled analysis of three years indicated that the florets (loose flowers) of tuberose treated with 4% boric acid significantly improved the post harvest life with the minimum change in fresh weight of florets (6.91, 17.38, 29.67 and 45.74% ), maximum fresh flower (98.67, 81.00, 56.00 and 35.00%) at 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours, respectively. Application of 4% boric acid also recorded significantly maximum number of opened flowers (5.17), half opened flowers (4.67) as well as minimum closed flowers (15.17) at 48 hr out of 25 flowers. The maximum longevity (39.33 hr), minimum rotting at 48 hr (40.25%) and highest score of acceptability at 36 hr as per hedonic scale (8.05) were also recorded in the same treatment. Quick dip of loose flowers of tuberose in 4% boric acid was found beneficial for improving post harvest life of loose flowers with 56% fresh up to 36 hr.

Light management within apple ( Malus domestica Borkh.) canopies has been an invariable rationale of fruit tree architecture strategy during the development of training systems. This paper attempts to compare fruit quality characteristics of three apple cultivars Coe Red Fuji, Granny Smith and Spartan trained on three canopy architectural engineering (training) system, viz. Espalier, Vertical axis and Cordon were grafted on M 9 rootstock. The maximum fruit weight (210.11g) was observed in Granny Smith and maximum yield per tree (32.11 kg/cm2) and yield efficiency (0.69 kg/cm2) in Coe Red Fuji which may be due to higher crop density. Among training systems, maximum fruit weight (200.12 g), highest yield per tree (36.36 kg) and maximum yield efficiency (0.72 kg/cm2) was observed in espalier training system. The interaction study displayed maximum fruit weight in Granny Smith (210.55g), highest yield per tree in Coe Red Fuji (32.16 kg) and maximum yield efficiency in Spartan on Espalier system. Light interception demonstrated maximum photon flux density (237 µmolm-2 s-1) across the canopy of Spartan with minimum leaf area index (0.30) and among training systems maximum PPFD (221 µmolm-2s-1) was observed in Espalier system with minimum LAI (0.21). Fruit size, TSS and colour parameters of fruits in all varieties were significantly influenced by light intensity. Higher the light intensity, higher was the TSS and colour development in coloured varieties like Spartan and Coe Red Fuji. Therefore, espalier training system was found the best canopy management system allowing maximum PAR penetration and diffusion leading better fruit quality and productivity.

Farming system approach has been widely recognized and advocated as one of the tools for harmonious use of inputs and their compounded response to make the production system sustainable. The present study was conducted to examine linkages among various components of farming systems in Mizoram state by using Leontief input-output model. The study identified 10 dairy based farming systems based on the major contribution to income of farm enterprise. The inter-component linkages from livestock to crop were stronger as compared to crop to livestock for all the farming systems. The degree of integration of different components of the various farming systems in terms of linkages is found to be strongest under D + C + P + Po farming systems. The interdependence observed among various components of farming system suggests the need to adopt total systems approach for development of sustainable farming systems.

Field experiment was carried out at farmer’s field in pre-bearing orchard of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) during rabi and kharif season of 2015-16 and 2016-17, respectively in Bikaner district of Rajasthan to study the yield, water productivity and return of legume based intercropping during the establishment phase of pomegranate. There were five treatment combinations, i.e sole pomegranate, pomegranate + (fenugreek–clusterbean), pomegranate + (wheat-groundnut), sole fenugreek –clusterbean and sole wheat-groundnut. Pomegranate planted at 4m × 3m was maintained with drip and intercrops with mini-sprinkler irrigation system. Intercrops showed positive effect on height, girth and canopy spread of pomegranate over sole plantation. In agri-horti systems, the productivity of fenugreek, wheat, clusterbean and groundnut were higher by 20.5, 15.1, 16.4 and 14.9 %, respectively in grain and 18.0, 15.0, 31.6 and 12.4 %, respectively in straw/stover, as compared to sole cropping. The increase in productivity in agri-horti systems may compensate the area sacrificed by canopy coverage of trees up to some extent. Wheat-groundnut intercropped with pomegranate produced higher system productivity (5376 kg /ha) over fenugreek-clusterbean intercropped with pomegranate as well as sole fenugreek-clusterbean. Water productivity of sole orchard can be improved to 0.21 and 0.39 kg /m3 in terms of economic yield (WPEY), 0.64 and 0.99 kg/m3 in terms of biological yield (WPBY) and ₹ `108.8 and ₹ 151.1 /ha/mm, respectively in monitory terms by incorporating fenugreek–clusterbean and wheat-groundnut intercropping systems, respectively.
In-silico characterization of cadmium stress response-associated Abc1-like protein and its homologues in maize (Zea mays)
Authors: Singh Alla , Karjagi Chikkappa , Kumar Ramesh , Chaudhary D P , Rakshit Sujay
Published: October 2022

Cadmium is a pollutant of concern and accumulates in soil from unchecked industrial activities like smelting, incinerations and combustion. Plants interact via different mechanisms with heavy metal pollutants in soil. Understanding of the plant-soil-metal interactions and the biomolecules involved in this interaction is important to make informed choices for setting breeding goals. In Arabidopsis thaliana, AtOSA1 (A. thaliana oxidative stress-related Abc1-like protein) is involved in response to cadmium stress. The homologous sequences have been deciphered in maize (Zea mays L.). The structures of the maize proteins have been determined. It is observed that multiple proteins sense cadmium and can respond to its presence. Concerted action of all the proteins may be essential to realize full response against cadmium presence in soil and mitigation of plant growth inhibition. Better understanding of the response to cadmium stress would pave way for designing effective breeding strategies for pyramiding beneficial alleles in elite germplasm.

Two independent experiments were carried out to study the physio-biochemical responses of fodder sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) under different irrigation water quality, irrigation schedules, RSC levels and neutralizer. Both these experiments were conducted during kharif season of 2013 in micro-plots of CSSRI, Karnal. First experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of different water quality irrigations scheduled at varying ID/CPE ratios. This experiment was laid out in factorial randomised block design (RBD) with four replications, consisting of nine treatment combinations of three irrigation water quality levels [Tube well water, cyclic use of Tube well water : Sewage water and Sewage water ] and three irrigation schedules based on ID/CPE ratios (0.8, 1.0 and 1.2). Second experiment was carried out to assess the effect of RSC levels in irrigation water and their neutralization with gypsum and H2SO4. This experiment was conducted in randomised block design with four replications, consisted of five treatments of different RSC levels [control (No RSC), RSC – 5 meq l-1, RSC–10 meq l-1, RSC – 10 meq l-1 (neutralized with gypsum), RSC – 10 meq l-1 (neutralized with H2SO4)]. In first experiment, The sewage water recorded 19.18 and 11.73% higher chlorophyll a and total soluble protein at first cut and 9.56 and 11.92% at second cut compared to TW. The 1.2 ID/ CPE ratio increased the chlorophyll a (26.5 and 16.5 % ) and total soluble protein (22.9 and 25.4 %) compared to 0.8 ID/CPE ratio, at first and second cut, respectively. In second experiment, chlorophyll a and b was adversely affected with the application of RSC 10 meq l-1 water with the maximum reduction by 17.71% at 1st cut and 19.62% at 2nd cut in case of chlorophyll a and 41.94% at 1st cut and 39.98% at 2nd cut for chlorophyll b compared to control (No RSC). Our results concluded that sewage water irrigation scheduled at 1.2 ID/CPE ratio proved superior and thus it may be adapted as a choice for getting higher green fodder yield with better physiological responses. From second experiment, it was inferred that higher RSC of irrigation water negatively affected the performance of fodder sorghum. It should be neutralized either by gypsum or sulphuric acid for obtaining better physiology as well as for fodder yield.

A field experiment was conducted from October, 2015 – March, 2017 to investigate the effects of drip irrigation with wastewater, and treated wastewater on crop quality at the 12-C Research farm of Indian Agriculture Research Institute, New Delhi. A bioreactor was installed at 12-C field for the purpose of cleaning the wastewater for the irrigation. After wastewater irrigation, the level of metals in the wastewater irrigated field got increased with time in the soil. While in treated water irrigated soil, concentration of metals was very less. In case of crops, the level of heavy metals was found more in wastewater irrigated crops than the treated water irrigated crops. From the study, it can be concluded that unlike treated wastewater, untreated wastewater cannot be used in agricultural land for a long time. Further, use of treated wastewater for irrigation does not have a negative impact on the consumers’ health as well.

A study on â€œspatial distribution of heavy metals content and physico-chemical properties of different soil series of northwestern Indiaâ€ was conducted during 2017-18 in five well established soil series which are under aeolian and upper alluvial plain of Hisar district (Haryana). The 50 surface (0-15cm) soil samples were collected with the help of GPS system (Global Positioning System) and analyzed for physico-chemical properties and availability of heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, Co and Ni). The soil of different soil series of Hisar district were moderately alkaline to strongly alkaline in nature (pH 8.0-8.5), electrical conductivity (EC) ranged from 0.10-0.17 dS m-1 (non saline).The organic carbon content in soil of different soil series was low to medium (0.39-0.51%) and having sandy to sandy clay loam texture with low to moderate CEC (8.64-12.85 cmol kg-1). The calcium carbonate content in soils was < 5 %. The mean of available heavy metals such as Pb, Cr, Cd, Co and Ni ranged from 0.56-1.30, 0.03-0.17, 0.01-0.04, 0.00-0.02 and 0.03-0.16 mg kg-1 respectively, which were found below the permissible limit.

Field investigation was conducted during rabi seasons of 2013-14 and 2014-15 at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to study growth, productivity and rhizospheric response of wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.) emend. Fiori & Paol.] varieties under different sowing times and Zn applications. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design, replicated thrice.Treatment consisted of sowing times (normal and very late) and wheat varieties (HD 2967, WR 544 and HD 3059) in main-plots and ZnSO4.7H2O application (control, 25 kg haâˆ’1 soil application, three foliar sprays @ 0.5% at boot, anthesis and grain filling stage, 25 kg haâˆ’1 soil application + one foliar spray @ 0.5% at anthesis) in sub-plots. Wheat growth parameters and grain yield were reduced under very late sowing. Among varieties, WR 544 exhibited higher growth rate, highest grain yield reduction was found with HD 2967.Root growth (RLD, RSA, RV and RWD) lowered at 0âˆ’15 cm and improved at 15-30 cm soil depth owing to delayed planting. Higher root growth at 15-30 cm soil depth was noticed with delayed planted HD 3059 which also manifested least yield reduction. Soil application of ZnSO4.7H2O @ 25 kg haâˆ’1 + one foliar spray of 0.5% ZnSO4.7H2O at anthesis recorded higher productivity and root growth of wheat nonetheless was found statistically on par with other Zn levels.

In view of limited information, an attempt has been made to work out the distribution pattern of arsenic (As) between root and shoot of high and low grain-As accumulating rice cultivars (HAC and LAC, respectively). For this purpose, a solution culture experiment was conducted at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during kharif 2018-19 with two doses of As (@ 0 and 100 µg/L) and four rice cultivars comprising one HAC (IR-36) and three LACs (Khitish, Satabdi and Badshabhog). Results indicated that the biomass yields were not affected either by As or by cultivars. The highest root As content was recorded with Khitish (4.64 mg/kg), whereas, IR-36 showed the lowest value (2.00 mg/kg) but shoot As content did not vary with cultivars. Cultivars followed almost similar trends for As uptake. The highest translocation coefficient of As from root to shoot ranged from 0.52 (IR-36) to 0.31 (Khitish). It is clear from the study that LACs are more efficient in storing As in root, even though they uptake higher amount of As at the initial phase of growth, whereas, As is mobilized from root to above ground parts more efficiently in case of HACs. Thus, partitioning of As between root and shoot appears to be an important characteristic of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars responsible for differential accumulation of As.

A field experiment was conducted during 2014-16 at farmers' field in Panwari village of Agra district (UP) to study the direct and residual effects of phosphorus and zinc levels on yield, quality and nutrient uptake in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) - greengram (Vigna radiata L.) cropping system using treatment combination of phosphorus (0, 30, 60 and 90 kg P2O5/ha) and zinc (0, 2, 4 and 6 kg/ha). The results revealed that the application of 60 kg P2O5/ha to wheat crop recorded significantly highest plant height (102.7 cm) and test weight (43.9 g). Phosphorus application in preceding wheat crop at 90 kg P2O5/ ha was found to be best for growth and yield attributes of greengram. Wheat crop responded significantly up to 60 kg P2O5/ ha by producing 5.39 t grain and 7.59 t straw/ ha. The residual effect of P in greengram was significant at 90 kg P2O5/ ha and grain and straw yield increments were to the extent of 15.8 and 12.0 %, respectively. Wheat crop responded to zinc application and 4 kg Zn/ ha could be adjudged response level. The residual effect of 6 kg Zn/ ha on succeeding greengram crop produced 12.3 and 7.1% higher grain and straw yield over control. Protein content in wheat and succeeding green gram increased significantly with P and Zn application but P was more effective in improving protein content in both the crops. There was a significant increase in protein yield of wheat and greengram with both the elements. Application of P and zinc showed substantial increase in P and Zn uptake by wheat and succeeding greengram crop over control. Nitrogen uptake by both the crops also improved significantly with these elements. The residual available P and Zn status in post harvest soil improved with the application of respective elements. Thus, application of 60 kg P2O5/ha along with 6 kg Zn/ha in wheat were optimum doses for obtaining higher productivity, produce quality and residual P and Zn in soil under wheat-green gram cropping sequence.

Background: An accurate working length plays a pivotal role for the success of treatment in endodontics. It involves a wide array of procedures. Aim: Use of digital radiovisiography (RVG), apex locator (EAL) and cone beam computed tomography technique (CBCT) to evaluate working length in primary teeth. Materials and Methods: This study included thirty extracted primary teeth having at least 2/3rd of root. Alginate was combined with 0.9% normal saline solution and teeth were inserted in it after access opening. Two qualified examiners recorded working length for all canals twice with RVG, EAL and CBCT. In control group, a Kerr- file from coronal reference to the apical foramen was used to visually determine the actual (AL) under stereomicroscope. Statistical analysis: Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland and Altman analysis were used to calculate the agreement on measurements of all methods using actual values of different methods. Results: Electronic working length measured with AL (0.0007) was statistically significant compared to RVG (1.9570) and CBCT (0.8440). Amongst all methods for determination of working length the ICC showed the highest reliability for EAL and least for RVG. Conclusion: In comparison to RVG and CBCT, the EALperformed the best for determining working length in primary teeth.

Covid-19 and the Future of Work
Authors: Lloyd Anthony
Published: October 2022

This paper offers a critical reflection on the impact of Covid-19 and government public health measures on patterns of work in the UK. This paper will focus specifically on remote or home workers as this generates myriad questions about the future of work and employment, particularly in the context of advances in digital technology and the growing emphasis on environmental inequality, the spectre of climate change and a green revolution. If the laptop class work from home, they can help control the spread of Covid-19, tackle climate change and rebalance their lives – we were told. Reflecting on the pandemic, an assumption of harmlessness underpins home working. Then I look towards the future and raise questions about the role of digital technology, algorithmic governance and surveillance in our working lives. As more of us are encouraged to utilise the latest digital technologies in our working lives, it is crucial to look critically at these developments and their implications for workers. Working practices deemed necessary to tackle the pandemic are now part of a long-term future which requires further interrogation as to whether the short-term and long-term changes associated with digital technology, algorithmic governance and surveillance also make hidden assumptions of harmlessness.
