Published: July 2022

Pesticides are commonly applied in market gardening to improve productivity and pest control. Pesticide residues could be persistent in vegetables and generate a potential health hazard for consumers. This study has been carried out in Tunisia to assess the perceived risk of consumers exposed to pesticide residues remaining in vegetables. Two surveys with different questionnaires were conducted among 30 market gardeners and 50 households located in the Djebeniana delegation (Sfax governorate, Tunisia) in order to analyze the phytosanitary practices of farmers on the one hand, and to better understand the attitude related to vegetable consumption and awareness on pesticide residues, on the other hand. The results revealed that various phytosanitary products have been used by market gardeners (43 commercial products containing 39 different active substances (AS)). Among these AS, abamectin and methomyl are considered as highly hazardous according the WHO classification. According to the behavior of pesticides in plants, more than half of the AS. (54%) are systemic and can be absorbed by the plant and moved around in its tissues. Furthermore, the majority of the surveyed farmers had never undergone agricultural training, which is a real handicap with respect to good phytosanitary practices. After applying pesticides, the pre-harvest interval was regularly not respected by almost half of the interviewed market gardeners. In addition, the study showed that all consumers washed their vegetables before consumption, but more than half of the respondents (54%) wash their vegetables for less than a minute (simply passing them under running water). In the light of these results, it appears that consumers may be exposed to pesticide residues from vegetables on the Tunisian market, with potential effects on their health.

The rapid increase in the world population increases the need for plant and animal food. Agriculture and animal husbandry practices are becoming more common day by day to meet the need for food and to obtain more products. This situation increases the amount of waste per unit of animal products. Increased animal excrement is associated with greenhouse gas emissions, harms the environment and animal health. One of these greenhouse gases, methane, increases animal production and poses a significant threat to global warming. Feeding research, which optimizes rumens and animal productivity to reduce ruminant methane emissions, is one of the hottest topics today. The purpose of this study is to evaluate feed distribution in terms of chemical composition, methane production, net energy, and organic matter digestibility by collecting forage and concentrates from various ranches in Niğde. Therefore, to increase the productivity of livestock on small farms in Turkey, the ratio of feed ingredients was determined on a farm basis, and there were some comments on the lower and upper limits of the fattening rate. Gas and methane production of TMR samples was determined using in vitro gas production technology. Nutrient contents obtained from different livestock farms CP (9.58-14.72), CF (1.89- 2.30), CA (7.64-13.92), ADF (19.77-27.82) NDF (36.71-45.69) DM (90.48-91.79) content, methane (CH₄), OMS, NEL and ME values were also different (P

In this study, the antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Lepidium spinosum Ard., which is distributed in many regions of the world, were determined. The aerial parts of the plant were dried, powdered and extracted with ethanol. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) of the plant extract were determined using Rel Assay Diagnostics kits. Antimicrobial activities of the plant extract were determined against standard bacterial and fungal strains by agar dilution method. As a result of the studies, the TAS value of the plant extract was determined as 4.550±0.132, the TOS value as 12.610±0.221, and the OSI value as 0.277±0.007. In addition, it has been found to be effective at 25-200 µg/mL against standard bacterial strains and 100-200 µg/mL concentrations against fungal strains. As a result, it was determined that L. spinosum used in our study could be a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial source. In this context, it is thought that natural material may be used in pharmacological designs.

Published: July 2022

Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) is a worldwide popular horticultural crop. Interest in assessing bioactive compounds with potential health benefits in artichoke is increasing. Therefore, in this study, the variability in total phenolic and flavonoid contents of six artichoke cultivars, including five purple namely Brindisie, Opal, Conserto, Romanesco and Rouge de France as well as an ordinary white artichoke variety were investigated. The results showed significant differences in total phenolic and flavonoid contents between artichoke cultivars. Total phenolic content ranged from 17.31 mg GAE/ g DW in the white artichoke variety to 21.31 mg GAE/g DW in Romanesco. Flavonoid content ranged from 4.51 mg RE/g DW in white artichoke to 7.06 mg RE/g DW in Rouge de France. Therefore, the highest total phenolic content was shown by Romanesco. However, the highest flavonoid content was recorded for both Opal and Rouge de France. This study demonstrates the importance of genotypic variability in shaping the levels of total phenolic and flavonoid, emphasizing the need to evaluate artichoke biodiversity in order to improve its nutritional value and to contribute towards increasing the intake of antioxidants.
Administration of Branched-Chain Amino Acids in the Pre- or Post-Hatch Period Improves the Fiber Characteristics of Pectoralis major Muscle in Turkey Poults Subjected to Early or Delayed Feeding
Authors: Kop-Bozbay Canan , Ocak Nuh
Published: July 2022

Poultry meat quality is controlled by muscle fiber properties associated with body weight gain in the immediate pre- or post-hatch period. This study aimed to determine the effect of administration of branched-chain amino acids blend (BCAAb, 3 L-leucine:1 L-isoleucine:2 L-valine) in the pre- or post-hatch period on the growth performance and fiber characteristics of the Pectoralis major (PM) muscle in turkey poults subjected to early or delayed feeding. Newly hatched poults from eggs injected in ovo with BCAAb or received no injection were used in a 21-d study. Poults (n=192) produced without injection of BCAAb received a starter diet supplemented (BCAA) or not (C) with the BCAAb (2 g/kg) immediately or with a delay of 48 h (48BCAA and 48C) after hatching. Poults (n=36) produced with (IOBCAA) in ovo injection of BCAAb (2 mg /ml) received the diet and water immediately. The BCAA and IOBCAA poults had higher body weight than those of the C, 48C, and 48BCAA birds. The body weight of the C poults was higher than those of the 48C and 48BCAA birds. The BCAA poults had higher PM muscle weight than those of the C and 48C poults, while that of the IOBCAA poults was higher than that of the 48C poults. The IOBCAA treatment increased the protein content of the PM muscle meat, compared with the C and 48C treatments. The 48C treatment increased the type IIB fiber area and the type I and type IIA fiber percentages but decreased the type IIB fiber, compared with other treatments. The numbers of type IIB and total fibers in the IOBCAA poults were higher than those of the 48C birds. In conclusion, administering BCAAb in ovo or in a starter diet enhanced early growth performance and improved the fiber characteristics of the PM muscle in turkey poults.

A total of 432, ISA Brown growing pullets were used to evaluate the effects of feeding diets containing Turmeric, Clove and Turmeric + Clove on growth performance and intestinal morphology. The birds were divided into 36 groups of 12 each weighed and allotted into experimental units. A total of nine experimental diets were formulated such that they contained 0, 1 and 2% turmeric, 0, 1 and 2% clove, and 0, 1 and 2% turmeric + clove combination on a 1:1 basis, respectively, in a 3 × 3 factorial arrangement (turmeric × clove × turmeric + clove: 0 × 1 × 2), replicated four times. The birds were weighed weekly to determine their body weight, weight gain, and feed conversion ratio. At the end of the experiment, 27 birds were sacrificed, and the duodenum, jejunum and ileum segments of the gastro intestinal tract were removed for gut histo-morphometry. Results showed that level of inclusion of feed additives significantly influenced feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Birds fed 1 and 2% inclusion of feed additive had reduced feed intake and lower FCR value when compared to higher FI and FCR values recorded in birds fed 0% inclusion of additives. Duodenal, jejunal and ilea morphology were significantly influenced by turmeric, clove, turmeric + clove, inclusion levels and treatment interaction. Birds fed diet containing turmeric + clove have significantly longer duodenal and jejunal villi as well as best duodenal and jejunal villus height: crypt depth ratio. It was concluded that up to 2% turmeric and turmeric + clove can be included in growing pullet’s diet for improved performance. Inclusion of turmeric, clove and turmeric + clove improved morphological changes in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum of birds which might influence nutrient absorption and thus, improved FCR.

Published: July 2022

Yogurt is a natural source of gut-friendly bacteria. It has a considerable body of evidence that supports the significant positive effects of yogurt as probiotics on quail production performance and health. Yogurt containing bacteria can improve quail economic indexes and resistance to pathogens. With this objective, 240 growing Japanese quails were randomly distributed into three groups A1 (control), A2 (Yogurt), and A3 (Protexin) (4 replicates/treatment of 20 birds) to investigate the effect of yogurt as a probiotic source. Birds were allowed to be fed ad libitum with a commercial quail ration. Yogurt and Protexin were mixed at the rate of 5 ml/L (5ml into 1 lt. water) and 1g/L (1gm into 1 lt. water) in A2 and A3, respectively. Six (6) weeks of investigation showed a significantly higher result in yogurt than in the other two groups. Body weight had a significant difference between the control and protexin groups. Body weight gain (g) was significantly heavier in A2 at the finisher phase. No significant effect was observed in feed intake, but FCR (Feed Conversion Ratio) was significantly lower in A2, but no significant effect was noticed between A1 and A3. The mortality percentage was higher in the control group (2.66%) and lowest in yogurt (1.03%). Carcass characteristics were significantly heavier in A2 than A1 and A3. Non-carcass characteristics illustrated significant differences among the three groups, but a non-significant difference was observed in head weight. The gross return per bird was higher in A2 (12.05 BDT), whereas it was 6.55 BDT and 7.08 BDT for A1 and A3. With those observations, it can be concluded that yogurt successfully enhanced overall broiler performance and gross return of Japanese quail.

O presente artigo faz uma abordagem sobre a filosofia, a covid-19 e a noção de autonomia rawlsiana. Actualmente, o mundo se viu envolvo em uma guerra invisível, onde, subjacente a todos os povos do planeta Terra, encontram-se presente o fantasma virótico que mudou, e forçou a ser mudado, todos os hábitos e culturas da humanidade. O mundo, de repente, viu-se em completa falta de liberdade. Com tal vírus tivemos que nos ressignificar aprendendo a conviver com as pessoas frente à complexidade da questão. Para tanto, as pessoas começam a lançar propostas. No caso aqui, à título de enfrentamento, nossa sugestão é que possamos fazer uma relação entre uma provável postura frente à autonomia que alunos poderiam ter, isto é, a noção de autonomia rawlsiana. Enfim, com a modificação de aspectos essenciais na teoria rawlsiana, vê-se que na noção de autonomia política, por meio da razão pública, pode-se chegar a um consenso razoável sobreposto. Portanto, é na perspectiva de uma racionalidade comunicativa, de uma solidariedade coletiva, razoável é que se pode pensar, com a autonomia política presente na razão pública, em deliberações consensuais, razoáveis, globais e coletivas para uma provável melhoria da sociedade partindo do ensino de Filosofia nas escolas.
Didática e filosofia do ensino da filosofia:
Authors: Medeiros Emanuel Oliveira
Published: July 2022

Para tematizar a Didática e a Filosofia do Ensino da Filosofia podemos ter como referência várias fontes e autores, quer em língua portuguesa quer em diversas línguas estrangeiras. A nossa escolha recai sobre autores e discursividade em Língua Portuguesa, considerando que é uma língua falada e trabalhada por muitos milhões de pessoas nos Países e Comunidades de Língua Oficial Portuguesa. Além disso, e simultaneamente, a Língua Portuguesa é uma Língua que deve ser potenciada na sua cientificidade. Muito recentemente a UNESCO deu mais passos significativos para a afirmação da Língua Portuguesa como Língua Científica. As intertextualidades podem ser feitas numa mesma Língua, neste caso a Língua Portuguesa, na sua unidade e diversidade, bem como noutras línguas. O mais importante e difícil é trabalhar o Pensamento, que se pode dizer em várias línguas e assume uma certa peculiaridade na Língua em que é expresso, o que significa que não basta falar uma língua, é preciso vivê-la e esse é um modo profundo de viver e de filosofar. No Mundo da Lusofonia há mundividências que resultam da Língua, dos autores, das ideias, dos modos de ser e de viver A Didática da Filosofia exige o domínio da própria Filosofia que, segundo alguns autores, tem em si a sua própria didática. Mas isto não acontece sem a mediação da pedagogia do professor, como comunicador e, pelo menos em certa medida, o professor é filósofo.

Authors: Yeh Jennifer , Ward Ashley , Reynolds Rachel
Published: July 2022

Von Zumbusch generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare and severe type of psoriasis that presents as superficial pustules which coalesce into lakes of pus with erythema and scaling, with associated fever and life-threatening complications including sepsis. Here we describe a patient with a history of von Zumbusch GPP who presented with erythroderma, neutrophilic leukocytosis, and hyperbilirubinemia in the setting of missed medication dose and hip surgery. While her laboratory abnormalities were initially attributed to a flare of her underlying skin disease, when treatment of her psoriasis flare failed to correct the laboratory abnormalities, review of her biopsy showed evidence of a concomitant adverse drug effect and the patient ultimately expired due to sepsis.

Published: July 2022

Acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) is an idiopathic chronic inflammatory condition that predominantly affects African-American men and presents with follicular papules, pustules and plaques, which may eventually lead to keloid-like scarred lesions, fibrotic plaques, abscesses, sinuses, and alopecia. Conventional treatment approach focuses on avoidance of exacerbation factors, utilization of topical and oral antibiotics, and decreasing inflammation with intralesional steroids. This is the first case showing successful treatment of AKN with halobetasol 0.01% and tazarotene 0.045% lotion. Although topical steroids and topical retinoids have been used as treatment options, there are no published data supporting the use of their fixed combination in patients with AKN.

Authors: Pei Evonne , Fatima Sakeena , Konheim Ari , Schrom Kory P
Published: July 2022

Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa of late onset (JEB-lo) is caused by mutations in collagen type XVII gene (COL17A1). Family and personal history, clinical presentation, exam findings, biopsy, and immunofluorescence testing were recorded and analyzed for the patient in our study. Based on the patient’s history of recurrent tense blisters on his lower extremities, recent skin exams, histologic findings on his biopsy and negative DIF studies as well as immunomapping, the clinical manifestations of the patient are most likely attributed to a late-onset variant of JEB due to a mutation in COL17A1.  We conclude that recurrent tense blisters on the lower extremities, hyperhidrosis, nail dystrophy, and tooth enamel abnormalities can all result from JEB-lo. This study is important for adding to the range of clinical presentations of JEB-lo and raising clinician awareness.

Bu çalışmanın amacı reel döviz kuru değişimlerinin Türkiye’deki üretici ihracatçı firmaların ihracat performansı üzerindeki etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Bu amaçla Türkiye ekonomisinde en çok ihracat yapan 100 üretici firmanın 2004-2020 dönemi için firmalara ait yıllık ihracat verileri kullanılarak, reel efektif döviz kuru ve ihracat ilişkisini analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca dış talep göstergesi olarak kabul edilen en çok ihracat yapılan ülkelerin büyüme rakamları modele dahil edilerek panel GMM tahmincisi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgular reel efektif döviz kurunda meydana gelen azalışın (Türk Lirasının değer kaybetmesi) ihracatı arttırdığını ortaya koymuştur. Aynı şekilde ekonomik büyüme değişkenlerinde meydana gelen artışın ihracatı artırdığı saptanmıştır. Çalışmada daha sonra 100 firma faaliyet gösterdiği sektöre göre en çok ihracat yapılan 5 farklı sektör şeklinde sınıflandırılarak reel efektif döviz kurunun sektörel bazlı ihracat etkisi test edilmiştir. Sektör bazlı analizden elde edilen bulgular ise şu şekildedir; reel efektif döviz kurunun düşmesi, otomotiv, demir çelik, tekstil ve elektrik-makine sektörlerinde ihracatı arttırırken, gıda sektöründe istatiksel olarak anlamsız bir ilişkinin var olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the effects of combinations of rescue breathing and chest compression in CPR performed by a bystander (BCPR) on the outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) events. Particular attention was paid to unwitnessed case by bystander. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the prospectively collected data of 212,003 unwitnessed and 117,920 bystander-witnessed OHCA cases between 2014 and 2016 in Japan. BCPR classification was based on two clinical components: whether or not DA was provided, and whether standard CPR (with breaths) or compression-only CPR was performed. Main Outcome Measures: A neurologically favorable outcome at one month. Results: Univariate analysis showed that, in unwitnessed cases, there was no significant association between the provision of BCPR and a neurologically favorable outcome (BCPR vs. no-BCPR: 0.65% (686/106,152) vs. 0.66% (694/105,851)). In bystander-witnessed cases, the rates were 5.6% (3,538/62,814) vs. 3.5% (1,911/55,106). After classifying BCPR according to the two clinical components, the outcomes of unwitnessed cases were improved for standard BCPR with DA and compression-only, for standard BCPR without DA, but not for compression-only BCPR with DA. Multivariate logistic regression analysis focusing on the two clinical components in unwitnessed BCPR cases showed worse neurologically favorable outcomes with DA provision but better outcomes for standard BCPR, without significant interaction. In bystanderwitnessed cases, DA provision was associated with better outcomes, with significant interaction. Conclusions: Compared with no-BCPR, compression-only BCPR with DA does not improve neurologically favorable outcomes. Standard BCPR without DA resulted in the best outcomes in unwitnessed OHCA cases.
A Synthetic Cycle for Heteroarene Synthesis by Nitride Insertion
Authors: Kelly Patrick , Filatov Alexander , Levin Mark
Published: July 2022

[cis-terpyOsNCl2]PF6 inserts nitrogen into indenes to afford isoquinolines. The insertion proceeds through an azaallenium intermediate, with mechanistic and computational studies suggesting that azaallenium formation occurs via a stepwise aziridination followed by electrocyclic ring opening. Examination of a substrate diverted from aromatization resulted in inner-sphere ligand rearrangement to afford an azaallyl chloride complex; kinetic studies suggest this species forms via an analogous azaallenium intermediate. Studies on base-promoted release of the isoquinoline suggest that the azaallyl chloride is not an obligate intermediate for aromatization and the parent azaallenium can directly eliminate to give a neutral dichloroosmium(II)-isoquinoline intermediate. The heteroarene can subsequently be thermally liberated to afford an osmium(II) acetonitrile complex, which can be oxidized to regenerate the nitride over two steps. First, in the presence of ammonia, oxidation affords an osmium(III) amidine, with subsequent oxidation in the presence of toluene sulfonic acid ultimately regenerating the nitride. The mechanistic foundation set by this synthetic cycle opens the door to the further development of nitrogen insertion heteroarene syntheses promoted by late transition metal nitrides.
A Machine Learning Based Approach to Reaction Rate Estimation
Authors: Johnson Matthew S. , Green William H.
Published: July 2022

Chemical kinetic models are vital to accurately predicting phenomena in a wide variety of fields from combustion to atmospheric chemistry to electrochemistry. However, building an accurate chemical kinetic model requires the efficient and accurate estimation of many reaction rate coefficients for many reaction classes with highly variable amounts of available training data. Current techniques for fast automatic rate estimation tend to be poorly optimized and incredibly tedious to maintain and extend. We have developed a machine learning algorithm for automatically training subgraph isomorphic decision trees (SIDT) to predict rate coefficients for arbitrary reaction types. This method is fully automatic, scalable to virtually any dataset size, human readable, can incorporate qualitative chemical knowledge from experts and provides detailed uncertainty information for estimates. The accuracy of the algorithm is tested against the state of the art rate rules scheme in the RMG-database for five selected reaction families. The SIDT method is shown to significantly improve estimation accuracy across all reaction families and considered statistics. The estimator uncertainty estimates are validated against actual errors.
Industrial potential of the enzymatic synthesis of nucleoside analogs: Existing challenges and perspectives

Published: July 2022

Nucleoside phosphorylases have progressed from an enzymatic curiosity to a viable synthetic tool. However, despite the recent advances in nucleoside phosphorylase-catalyzed nucleoside synthesis, the widespread application of these enzymes in industrial processes is still lacking. We attribute this gap to three key challenges, which are outlined in this short review. To address these persistent obstacles, we believe that biocatalytic nucleoside synthesis needs to embrace interdisciplinary partnerships with the fields of organic chemistry, process engineering and flow chemistry.
The Ethical Considerations of Artificial Intelligence in Clinical Decision Support
Authors: John Taran
Published: July 2022

With the explosion in technological innovation facilitating the advent of artificially intelligent systems, specifically clinical decision support, a unique subset of ethical and sustainability concerns arises. Although this technology possesses remarkable potential to revolutionise the healthcare industry, it becomes apparent that an innovative ethical framework must be posited to facilitate integration into the mainstream. Due to the sensitive nature of healthcare, ethical oversights pertaining to incorporation of such technologies would lead to the detriment of its public perception, potentially stigmatising related systems for years to come. By delving into the literature surrounding the idiosyncratic ethical considerations of artificially intelligent clinical decision support in this paper, best practices which seek to mitigate the impact of these concerns emerge. The objective of this work is to assimilate these best practices, which are used in the synthesis of a six principle code of ethics which are as follows: protect healthcare professional authority, ensure technological non-maleficence, cultivate clinical decision support transparency, establish procedures for accountability determination, promote sustainability of artificially intelligence based clinical decision support and encourage equity in the training and deployment of clinical decision support. These principles are then applied to the real world of Watson for Oncology by IBM, to assess the adherence of the product to ethical and sustainability best practices.
Component Standardization: A Code of Sustainability
Authors: Evans Emanuel
Published: July 2022

To make mass manufacturing industries more sustainable, there is a need to unify regulations and embrace shared principles to ensure that the products we produce are more sustainable. With attention to reducing the impact on the natural environment. In this paper, we argue that a code of sustainability regarding component standardization would help in this regard. It would contribute to extending the life of what we produced by facilitating the reuse of components as well as improving their recycling once they deteriorate. We then apply our proposed principles to the automotive sector to demonstrate their practical benefits.
