Impact of glyphosate formulations and adjuvants: effects on leaf interaction, metabolism, and control of sourgrass
Authors: Cavalieri Jhonatan Diego , Santos Samuel Alves dos , Carbonari Caio Antonio , Raetano Carlos Gilberto
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT: The addition of commercial formulations and adjuvants to a tank mix may result in differences in the wettability on the plant surface, foliar uptake and herbicide efficacy. Thus, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the influence of glyphosate formulations and tank-mixture adjuvants on the contact angle (CA), uptake, metabolism and sourgrass control and the damage to the cuticular microstructure of this species caused by herbicide solutions. For this purpose, assays were carried out in a completely randomized design, and treatments distributed in a 2x5+1 factorial scheme with five replications. Two glyphosate formulations isopropylamine salt (SL) and ammonium salt (WG) combined or not with the adjuvant methylated soybean oil (MSO), mineral oil (MO), ethoxylated alkyl ester (EAE) or polyoxyethylenealkylphenol ether (PAE); and one control (water) were evaluated. CA measurements of the droplets deposited on a sourgrass leaf surface and on the standard surface (parafilm) were obtained using a tensiometer. Herbicide uptake and shikimate accumulation were simultaneously determined by chromatography and spectrometry. The control effect was assessed by observing plant survival dry weight reductions. The glyphosate SL and WG formulations had similar effects on the variables analyzed. However, mixing the adjuvants EAE, MO or MSO with either formulation of herbicide led to greater wettability and more severe damage to the cuticular microstructure, favoring glyphosate uptake and shikimate accumulation. Despite evidence regarding the treatments containing oils/surfactants, the control effect on sourgrass was similar. The combination of glyphosate formulations with such adjuvants is potentially more effective and guarantees satisfactory sourgrass control.

Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to evaluate the particulate emissions in a Diesel engine with an electronic injection system using different biodiesel blends and variations in the fuel injection point and volume, comparing it with the MAR-1 standard. The particulate emissions are analyzed using a two-factor (12×8) completely randomized design that resulted from the interaction of three biodiesel/Diesel blends, two injection point configurations, two fuel injection volumes and eight crankshaft speeds, with 30 repetitions. According to the results, the particulate emissions meet the requirements established by the MAR-I standard when the engine operates at the original factory settings, fueled with blends containing up to 30% of biodiesel. With the engine angular speed at maximum torque (1,500 rpm), the injection point advanced and the increase in fuel volume, the particulate emissions increased by 115% and 314% for the 10 and 30% biodiesel blends, respectively, regarding the engine operating with the original settings.

Abstract Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a prevalent and underdiagnosed condition in chronic kidney disease (CKD), that shares common pathophysiological factors such as chronic inflammation. Objective: To evaluate the association of MCI in CKD stages 1-5 using inflammatory markers and changes by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional study in adult patients with pre-dialysis CKD. MCI was assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected from medical records. The cytokines IL-4, IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α and hs-CRP were determined. Brain MRI was performed in a 1.5 Tesla device, without paramagnetic contrast. A descriptive analysis followed by a comparison of abnormal versus normal MoCA scores among all studied variables. A linear regression analysis was performed using MoCA as a dependent variable, adjusted for confounding factors. Results: Of 111 invited patients, eighty completed the neuropsychological assessment and 56 underwent MRI, and were included in the study. Mean age was 56.3 ± 8.3 years and 51.8% (n = 29) had altered MoCA. When compared to the group with normal MoCA, the group with altered MoCA had higher levels of IL-6 and IL-17. There was no correlation between altered MoCA with eGFR or with MRI abnormalities. Conclusão: MCI assessed by MoCA was prevalent in patients with pre-dialysis CKD, it was associated with inflammation and showed no correlation with MRI changes.

Authors: Laletina E. V , Shatokhin K. S. , Shestakov I. E.
Published: February 2022

The report considers development of a methodology for heating slabs with a system of flat jets interacting with the metal surface. Heating technology must meet modern requirements for uniformity of heating, energy efficiency and optimal heating rate. Multivariate calculations were performed with changes in location, number of devices and distance from the nozzle exit to the heating surface. In this work, using the ANSYS Fluent program, an instrumental system was used through the mechanism of blowing devices that form 8 and 9 jets. In the developed methodology, it is proposed to use heated nitrogen, which simultaneously performs two functions: heat engineering and technological (as a protective atmosphere).

Authors: Mo Matthew
Published: February 2022

Building upon a previous species inventory published in 2004 and based on observations between 2008 and 2011, I herein describe the reptile and amphibian assemblage on a university campus in the northwestern corner of the Sydney metropolitan area, Australia, recording 26 species of reptiles in nine families (Chelidae, Agamidae, Carphodactylidae, Scincidae, Varanidae, Typhlopidae, Colubridae, Elapidae, Pythonidae) and 13 species of amphibians in three families (Pelodryadidae, Limnodynastidae, Myobatrachidae). Included are records of the Macquarie Turtle (Emydura macquarii) and Eastern Water Dragon (Intellagama lesueurii lesueurii), neither of which were considered indigenous to the campus in the previous inventory, and one observation of two Ornate Burrowing Frogs (Platyplectrum ornatum), which previously were thought to be only historically present at the site. Seven species predicted to be present on the campus by the previous inventory were confirmed by observations in this study. These observations demonstrate how green spaces on the periphery of one of the world’s largest cities can harbor a diverse assemblage of reptiles and amphibians.
MDA for virome analysis v1
Authors: Larsen Frej
Published: February 2022

This protocol is not intended for amplification of DNA. Rather, it uses the Phi29 DNA polymerase enzyme to turn single stranded DNA (ssDNA) into double stranded DNA (dsDNA). This is required for ssDNA viruses to be sequenced. The procedure should be performed in a fume hood with a UV-light. Prior to starting, the UV-light should be turned on to disinfect the workspace and UV-tolerant materials such as empty PCR-plates, lids, and pipette tips. Whenever working with the samples, keep them on ice.

Authors: Romac Sarah
Published: February 2022

Nowadays metabarcoding approaches allow to explore the diversity of different communities using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Here we describe the 18S-V4 DNA amplification method applied for eukaryote metabarcoding analyses using Illumina Miseq technology. This protocol has been used in many projects studying eukaryotic diversity (TARA-OCEANS 2009-2013, TARA-PACIFIC 2016-2018), and eukaryote monitoring projects (MOOSE-GE 2017-..., ROSCOFF ASTAN 2009-ongoing). We developed the flowchart for 2 different sequencing platforms : Fasteris-Gene Support SA (Plan-Les-Ouates, Swiss) and GeT-PlaGE (Toulouse, France).
Comparative Legal Analysis of the Possession and Property Claims
Authors: Klimanova D. D.
Published: February 2022

The planned introduction of thepossession and possession protection institutions at the legislative level, along with the existing institutions of proprietorship, limited property rights, and bona fide prescription possession, predetermined the need for a detailed analysis of the proposed provisions of the Draft Federal Law No. 47538-6/5 “On the Amendments to Section Two of Part One of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation” (further in the text — the Draft) and their relationship with the existing norms of civil law. The performed analysis and comparison of the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation further in the text — the Civil Code) on the property rights (vindication, negatory, claim for recognition of rights) protection, bona fide prescription possession protection (claim of a bona fide prescription owner under clause 2 of Article 234 of the Civil Code) with the provisions planned for introduction into the Civil Code and possession protection (possession claim) revealed common features and differences in the constructions of the considered claims, contradictions between the provisions of the Draft and the Civil Code, gaps in the provisions of the Draft. Based on the analysis, the author proposes the following conclusions: the construction of the possessioner’s claim provides the possibility for circumventing the vindication rules by the titular owner; there is no need to consolidate the claim for the protection of the bona fide prescription possession along with the possessory action.

The language of the contract as an additional condition on the form of the transaction
Authors: Vasilenko N. V.
Published: February 2022

The article raises the question of attributing the language of the agreement to the form of the transaction. The current legislation does not contain special requirements regarding the mandatory Russian language for the execution of agreements between residents of the Russian Federation. A cumulative analysis of legislation and law enforcement practice allows us to conclude that it is possible to recognize agreements between residents of the Russian Federation in a foreign language as valid, unless the Russian language of the transaction was an additional requirement to its form established by a regulatory act or agreement. Depending on the presence or absence of the obligation to conclude an agreement in Russian, there are various consequences of non-compliance with this condition: the nullity or the dispute of the transaction. Despite the fact that there is no obligation clearly established by law to conclude an agreement between residents of the Russian Federation in Russian, there remains law enforcement uncertainty in the interpretation of this issue, which means a high degree of risk of adverse consequences.
El primer Francisco Brines: Las Brasas y palabras a la oscuridad
Authors: Jiménez Millán Antonio
Published: February 2022

RESUMEN: El presente trabajo se centra en los dos primeros libros del poeta valenciano Francisco Brines (1932-2021), Las brasas (1960) y Palabras a la oscuridad (1966), haciendo una breve referencia al poema El Santo Inocente, editado en Madrid en 1965 e incluido luego en Materia narrativa inexacta. Establecemos tres apartados: en el primero se estudia el libro Las brasas, premio Adonáis de 1959, un título que ya revela el sentido elegíaco de la poesía de Francisco Brines: alude al rescoldo de un fuego más intenso, que es la vida, y, desde el inicio, se impone la conciencia del desgaste ocasionado por el paso del tiempo. El segundo apartado trata sobre la lectura que hizo Brines de la poesía de Luis Cernuda en el artículo «Ante unas poesías completas», publicado en la revista La Caña Gris (1962), donde se revelan muchas afinidades con el poeta sevillano de la generación del 27. El tercer apartado estudia un libro de poemas mucho más extenso, Palabras a la oscuridad (1966), premio de la Crítica en 1967. Es el libro que contiene más poemas amorosos en la obra de Brines, y paralelamente destacan los viajes y las referencias culturales, afirmándose ya una voz poética que apenas va a experimentar variaciones en los siguientes libros, hasta La última costa (1996).

PAlABRAS CLAVE: Francisco Brines; Luis Cernuda; poesía reflexiva; vitalismo; elegía.

BACKGROUND: The spread of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in Moscow has significantly increased the number of chest computed tomography examinations to establish a diagnosis and assess the treatment efficacy. In Moscow, the new approach to diagnostic imaging associated with COVID-19 caused divergent shifts in the volume and structure of the population radiation burden. This study aimed to bridge the gap in data, as no reliable information about the changes in the structure of diagnostic imaging and the current radiation burden due to COVID-19 in the Moscow population has been reported.
AIMS: To evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the computed tomography radiation doses in Moscow medical facilities between 2017 and 2020.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We collected and analyzed the following data: forms No. 3-DOZ completed by the public and private Moscow medical facilities in 20172020; forms No. 30 completed in 20172020; data from the Unified Radiological Information Service for 2020. The study provides details about the annual population radiation exposure and the average individual radiation doses, with a breakdown by anatomic region.
RESULTS: The statistical form evaluation elucidated the boost of computed tomography imaging in Moscow, accounting for 31% higher than anticipated. In 2020, the number of chest imaging studies increased almost two-fold compared to the previous periods. Thereby, causing a corresponding increase in the mean effective dose by over two times.
CONCLUSION: The results show that the epidemiological situation of 2020 had a profound effect on the changes in the computed tomography-related radiation exposure, which helped us get insight into the diagnostic effect of certain types of computed tomography studies applied to various anatomic regions. The analysis contributed to a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of various statistical forms.
About the permanent drainage of the ventricle of the brain with its dropsy
Authors: Perimov Viktor A.
Published: February 2022

In many intracranial diseases, it was precisely the symptoms of increased cerebral pressure that forced one to resort to surgical intervention, which gave excellent results: for example, removal of hematomas and ligation of the vessel in case of bleeding from the arteria meningea media or opening of brain abscesses.

Equally severe symptoms of pressure on the brain can be caused by accumulations of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain, as is observed in cases of acute head dropsy (acutus int.) e.g. in meningitis serosa or tuberculosa, as well as in chronic congenital and secondary internal dropsy of the brain. The thought of surgeons has long been directed in this direction. Back in 1881, Wernicke experimentally proved the usefulness of ventricular puncture in such cases. Bergmann was the first to perform this operation in 1888. Since then, many surgeons with varying happiness have performed this operation.
About the regulation of the movement of the stomach

Our knowledge of the movements of the stomach has been considerably enlarged in recent years, thanks to the introduction of fluoroscopy into the range of physiological methods of investigation.

True, much of what was discovered in this case was already well known to physiologists from the indications of other methods, but many new and interesting facts are due entirely to fluoroscopy. Thus, at the present time, we can consider as established and demonstrated ad oculos the typical pattern of gastric movements that develop during the period of gastric digestion.

The doctrine of apraxia, which began only 9 years ago with the research of Liepmann, now illuminates with sufficient clarity many phenomena in the field of motor disorders of neuropsychic origin. Assuming that they are caused by a disruption in the connection between the motor area and other areas of the cerebral cortex, researchers often use the Wernicke scheme, which depicts the relationship between our consciousness and the outside world, to analyze practical disorders. Dr. Nikitin, in his article, explains this scheme and, having noted a gap in it, suggests making an appropriate insert.

In a short article, the author combines fragmentary information about mental illness scattered in the Talmud among legal and religious treatises. Although the medical records were intended primarily for forensic purposes, they indicate quite clearly that the compilers of the Talmud had correct clinical understanding of many forms of mental disorder. The Talmud does not mention nervous diseases due to the author's conjectures, because at the time of the compilation of the Talmud they had no forensic medical significance.

The word dementia is still used very differently and in relation to states that are far from being equivalent. Dementia, apparently, is a complete decline in mental activity, and yet sometimes the same term is used for mild cases of paresis mentis. By this they want to highlight the position that the word dementia is applicable to cases of disorder of thought, but not of affect. For most psychiatrists, dementia means a complete or almost complete loss of the normal ability to think, that is, when, under the influence of illness or age, mental strength is destroyed. The term amentia is applicable in cases where individuals from birth did not possess mentality, i.e., thinking, which is observed in idiots and profoundly stupid people.

Alcoholism, crime and psychosis are closely related. In an institution for the cure of alcoholics, people who have already been sued for crimes not in a drunken state often end up - those who were mentally ill also get into it. A careful study of alcoholics in very many cases indicates the existence of various mental anomalies in them even before drinking. Such people are often very intolerant of even small amounts of alcohol, which is why they get drunk earlier and more violently and more easily acquire the need for alcohol.

In the medical literature, the question of the significance of suggestion and persuasion in the matter of influencing one or another person was very often raised. According to the author, there is a very big difference between suggestion and persuasion. Suggestion is made in the unconscious state of the suggested person, without understanding by these persons how this or that thought appeared in him. Persuasion is carried out in a conscious state, with the participation of personal elements and the reasonableness of a given person, while the process of reasoning and decision-making is carried out quite consciously.

The relationship between reactive violence and self-harm among individuals with mental illness in the community
Authors:   , Durham Kelley Elizabeth , Heilbrun Kirk
Published: February 2022

Research has shown that self-harm and violence toward others commonly co-occur and that each of these behaviors may be a risk factor for the other (O'Donnell et al., 2015). The current study was designed to further investigate this co-occurrence, known as dual harm, using data from the MacArthur Violence Risk Assessment study. The current study tested possible predictors of dual harm that might help to identify who is at risk for engaging in both behaviors. Data from 951 participants in the MacArthur study (57.6% male) were analyzed using mixed effects logistic regression to account for repeated measures. Results indicated that neither instrumental nor reactive violence was significantly associated with odds of reporting self-harm. None of the specific types of self-harm examined was significantly associated with odds of reporting reactive violence. However, higher levels of anger, a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, and a diagnosis of a substance use disorder were all associated with greater odds of dual harm. Additionally, participants with a diagnosis of a major mental disorder were significantly less likely to report dual harm. Study results indicate that anger, emotion dysregulation, and substance abuse are dynamic risk factors for dual harm that should be assessed as part of standard risk assessments, particularly during critical transition periods, such as discharge from a psychiatric hospitalization or release from incarceration. Short-term, skills-based intervention that targets these factors can help reduce risk for dual harm. Results also have implications for policy, which often oversimplifies the relationship between mental health and violence and stigmatizes individuals with mental health disorders. Overall, accurately assessing risk for dual harm has the potential to mitigate the negative consequences of both types of harm and to avoid overlooking risk of one type of harm when assessing risk of the other.

Los sistemas de apoyo la decisión (DSS) son una herramienta útil para asistir a los operadores de planta en la selección de valores de referencias de proceso. Las entradas a este tipo de sistema para variables que no son fácilmente medibles en línea se realiza a menudo mediante la valoración de expertos, lo que conlleva un cierto grado de incertidumbre. La aplicación de lógica borrosa a estos DSS proporciona una manera sistemática de tratar esta incertidumbre en las variables. Este trabajo extiende el trabajo previo realizado utilizando Mapas Borrosos Cognitivos para la construcción de DSS e introduce una etapa de emborronamiento no unitario que proporciona una manera directa de considerar la incertidumbre en las entradas al sistema. El sistema propuesto está motivado por los desafíos que presenta la producción de aceite de oliva virgen de alta calidad.

Modeling and identification of ABE fermentation processes
Authors: Hose Dominik , de Prada César , González Gerardo
Published: February 2022

The modeling and parameter identification of an Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation process is investigated. The traditional approach tries to adjust the model parameters by means of an optimization such that the simulations fit the experimental data. These optimizations often take a lot of time and do not achieve good fits due to the necessity of imposing a fixed model structure and due to the non-convexity of the resulting cost function. A different approach, which divides the big problem into smaller and more efficiently solvable subproblems, is presented. Its advantage is that it determines a model of the cellular growth term on the go using ALAMO (Automatic Learning of Algebraic MOdels) and thus offers more degrees of freedom. Lastly, the algorithm is implemented, tested and validated with real data.

Organ transplantation is the only treatment option for the management of organ failure, and its success directly depends upon the balance between the demand and supply of the organs. However, the demand for organs far outpaces its supply. At the same time, most of the developed countries follow an altruistic way, which is organ donation with a will and without any form of benefit for organ supply. Thus, it can be seen that legally all who are involved in organ transplantation get some form of benefits except organ donors. Donating a vital portion of the body by putting at lifelong risk, just for the sake of altruism, can neither justify ethically nor help to meet the increased demand for organs. Ultimately this gives rise to the incident of organ trafficking in order to meet the organ demand. This research is done to know the perception of the healthcare professionals of the tertiary-care center of eastern Nepal regarding organ trafficking.
Sex Assault and Offenders–An Overview of Victim-offender Relationship on Cases of Sexual Offences
Authors: Gajmer Pooja
Published: February 2022

Sexual crimes against women and children are one of the most common crimes that occur in India today. Everyday newspaper articles, news shows on television, and social media keep reporting about sexual assaults and rape incidents. In all these crimes being reported, one thing constantly stands out: the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator. When any person thinks about a crime as vicious as rape, they generally associate the perpetrator being a stranger but in reality, what is seen is that the assailant is most often known to the victim. The aims and objectives were to study the relationship of the victim with the offender and analyze this relation further in terms of particulars of the relationship and social demographics. This study was conducted in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Guwahati Medical College, and Hospital for a period of one year in cases of female victims of alleged sexual crimes brought for medico-legal examination. From the 140 cases studied, it was found that 129 cases had known offenders, most victims were minors, illiterate, from rural areas, and belonging to lower economic strata, severity of injuries were higher with unknown offenders. It was concluded that most sexual crimes are thought to being perpetrated by strangers, but this study shows the opposite, and the people closest to the victim are often the ones who are the perpetrators.

Introduction:The future reflection of nation child has some common problem like under-nutrition, infections, as well as abuse or maltreatment is equally important. World Health Organization (WHO) reported that worldwide, approximately 20% of women and 5–10% of men report being sexually abused in childhood? In Bangladesh, a large number of children are exposed to severe forms of sexual, physical and mental abuses at home, in the work place, in institutions and other public places. Methods and Results: A total of 96 children below 18 years above 5 years were included in this research. All the statements made by semi structured interviews and physical examination. About 6% child reported they are referred as idiot and called them foul name being considering them emotionally abused child. 34% child considering physically abused (by burn 34% and by beating 55%). 60% child considering sexually abused. Among them depending on the type of sexual abuse 12% reported someone trying to touch or kissing or even touched their private body parts, 27% reported someone trying to show naked or dirty pictures to them by using mobile, 61% reported that someone put or forced his private organ inside their mouth (11%), anus (32%) or vagina (57%). Conclusion: Child abuse is a global problem. Not in the world but also in Bangladesh. So Bangladesh government should give special attention to safety of child. To prevent child abuse in social life like children on the street, children at work, and children in institutional is a punishable act as per the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act in our parliament.

From a healthy person when a person becomes a patient may be a matter of short duration or long duration depending upon the type of illness. A patient when reaches to the health provider have many expectations some of which is easy to fulfil others may be difficult to be met with. Care providers must know these expectations so that they know them, understand them and try to fulfil the possible expectations. Some of these may be enshrined in the rights of the patients and these rights of the patients have to be taken care of and it will be possible only when all medical and health professionals know well about it and in detail. Along with the expectations and rights of the patient there are responsibilities of the patient too which patients must fulfil to have a better experience and comforts in the different settings of the health professionals.
The Epidemic Disease Act 1897 and its Amendment - A Perspective
Authors: K Padma Kumar
Published: February 2022

The Epidemic Disease Act was enacted in 1897 to stop the spread of bubonic plague outbreak in Bombay at that time. The Act gives powers to the central and state government to take special measures and prescribe regulations to prevent the spread of dangerous epidemic disease. The act was invoked many times in the country since then and the last was in 2018 to prevent the spread of cholera in a Gujarat village. The covid-19 pandemic made the country to a standstill and the government machinery, health care workers and officials are working day night to contain the virus. The most unfortunate thing that happened in our country is unprovoked abuse, harassment and violence on the people who are at the forefront to implement preventive strategies by the public. The government felt that The Epidemic Disease Act was insufficient to protect the workforce and a new ordinance was brought to amend the Epidemic Disease Act of 1897. The ordinance has introduced a bill in both sections of parliament and now became an act. Both the act and its amendment are discussed here.

In forensic medicine, there can be times when the dilemma of having to choose between harvesting organs from cadaveric donors versus the need to complete the forensic analysis to savor the equally important forensic outcomes becomes tricky as well cul de sac of one on another. The deliberation of the seemingly practical junction is of academic value and ethical considerations that need to be dissected upon. As such, the impacts of forensic outcomes on cadaveric organ donations in Malaysia through the lenses of (i) academic benefits of forensic outcomes, (ii) ethically justified considerations of the dilemma, and (iii) available data helpful in navigating through the two competing needs.

Tensor decomposition is used in a wide range of research fields; however, its theory is difficult to understand. Therefore, basic education is essential when using it in programming. Currently, there are few Japanese universities that provide education on tensor decomposition; however, some overseas universities have already conducted it, and online learning materials are also substantial. Therefore, in this paper, we have developed online learning materials for basics and programming exercises of higher-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD), which is one of tensor decomposition, for the purpose of increasing the learning materials for tensor decomposition education. Our learning material is created on Microsoft Teams, and students can access this material channel and work on exercises on demand while watching explanatory videos including CG animation. As a result of the trial of this learning material, it was found that the students who used it can generally understand the processes related to tensor decomposition and can perform basic programming of them.
