A field experiment was conducted at Faculty of Agriculture, Wadura, Sopore, SKUAST-Kashmir during Kharif 2021 and 2022 on silty clay loam soil. The soil of the experimental field was neutral in reaction, medium in available N, P and K and organic carbon. The experiment comprised of four irrigation schedules: I1 : Recommended Irrigation Scheduling, I2 :At field capacity (20 L m-2), I3 :10 % depletion from field capacity (20 L m-2) and I4 : 20 % depletion from field capacity (20 L m-2), assigned to main plots and four nitrogen levels including N0 : Control, N1 : 75 % RDN (Recommended dose of nitrogen), N2 : 100 % RDN and N3 : 125 % RDN assigned to sub-plots, replicated thrice. The test variety evaluated was Shalimar Rice-4 (SKUA-408) and the experiment was laid out in split plot design. The data revealed that recommended irrigation scheduling though at par with application of irrigation water at field capacity recorded significant increase in intercepted PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) (%) as compared to other irrigation schedules during both the years of experimentation. Among the different nitrogen levels, 125 % RDN treatment recorded significantly higher values of intercepted PAR (%)but was at par with 100 % RDN treatment during 2021 and 2022. Significantly lowest values of intercepted PAR (%) were observed when the irrigation water was applied at 20 % depletion from field capacity among irrigation schedules and control treatment among nitrogen levels during both the years of experimentation.

The experiment entitled “Effect of Different Electrical Conductances and Vertical Hydroponics Systems on Yield and Yield Attributing Traits of Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. Winter Dawn’’ was carried under a Naturally Ventilated Polyhouse in the Experimental Farm, Department of Horticulture, Assam Agriculture University, Jorhat, Assam during the year 2019-21. The experiment was laid out in a factorial completely randomized block design with three types of vertical hydroponics systems viz., T1 , T2 , and T3 , and two EC levels viz., L1 (1.8 dSm-1) and L2 (2.5 dSm-1) and six replications. Among the three vertical hydroponics systems T1 and L1 were found to be the best for yield and yield contributing characteristics. The significant effect of vertical hydroponics system T1 and L1 was observed in NAR (1.35mg cm-2 day-1) and (1.34 mg cm-2 day-1), yield (357.88 g./plant) and (316.91g./plant), fruit weight (25.61g) and (24.03g), number of fruits per plant (13.92) and (12.97), Number of fruits per system (295.00) and (247.08), weight of fruit per system (5.84 kg) and (5.84 kg), fruit length (6.96cm) and (5.88cm), fruit girth (10.35cm) and (9.89cm) and Fruit volume (10.56 cc) and (9.74 cc) was found highest in T1 , L1 and T1 xL1 . Among the two EC and three vertical hydroponic systems, significant differences in growth parameters were observed primarily due to differences in Net Assimilation Rate (NAR) availability. A higher NAR availability led to a higher rate of photosynthesis, better quality of the fruits of the plants in the T1 . Therefore, some modifications such as A-shape or V-shape designs are suggested in the vertical hydroponics system to improve NAR availability in the column type and Shelf-type. Among both E.C levels, the effect of EC 1.8 was found to be the best for yield contributing characters of strawberries.

У статті було досліджено можливості із інтеграції алгоритмів штучного інтелекту для покращення обробки інформації в державних базах даних. Показано, що алгоритм розпізнавання даних MRZ з зображення паспорта володіє значним потенціалом для використання в державних базах даних, адже він може суттєво покращити ефективність та безпеку різноманітних державних послуг. Обробка інформації в державних базах даних України є складним процесом, що охоплює збір, введення, перевірку, обробку та зберігання даних. Цей процес є важливим для ефективної роботи державних органів, але традиційні методи, засновані на людській праці, стають все менш ефективними через зростаючі обсяги і складність інформації.  Вирішення цієї проблеми може бути досягнуто завдяки сучасним технологіям, таким як штучний інтелект (ШІ), який може автоматизувати рутинні процеси, підвищити точність і безпеку даних, а також зменшити витрати. У цій роботі розглянуто можливість інтеграції алгоритмів штучного інтелекту (ШІ) для покращення обробки даних в державних базах. Було розроблено алгоритм для автоматичного вилучення інформації з машиночитабельної зони (MRZ) українського паспорта у формі ID-картки. Програмний код на Python обробляє зображення MRZ, визначає та вилучає ключові дані про власника. Функції включають попередню обробку зображення, виявлення області MRZ, аналіз розпізнаного тексту та форматування даних. Результати тестування показали, що алгоритм успішно обробляє дані з ID-картки, мінімізуючи втручання людини та скорочуючи час на обробку. Використання ШІ для автоматизації розпізнавання MRZ може стати основою для створення єдиної системи ідентифікації громадян, що покращить доступ до державних послуг, зменшить адміністративне навантаження та підвищить рівень безпеки. Таким чином, впровадження алгоритмів ШІ для обробки інформації в державних базах даних має значний потенціал для підвищення ефективності та якості державних послуг в Україні.
NEUROLOGICAL SEQUELAE OF ANTI-NMDAR ENCEPHALITIS IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IMMATURE OVARIAN TERATOMA: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Pandit Meghana , Warren Lindsey , Tyler Lamarr
Published: July 2024

Anti-N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is a condition that presents with signs of altered mental status often quite spontaneously in patients. It can be traced to autoimmune conditions or certain tumors that produce antibodies against the anti-N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors in the brain. NMDA receptors are expressed on pyramidal neurons all throughout the cerebral cortex as well as in the hippocampus thus influencing the creation of memories. Therefore, the presence of anti-NMDAR encephalitis can cause multiple neurological sequelae that subsequently presents with altered mental status that may progress to seizures and death. Females are more likely to be affected by this disease, especially those in the 25 to 35 year age group. In 2005, four women with age ranges 14-28 were found to have ovarian teratomas as well as memory loss combined with psychiatric changes that eventually was diagnosed as anti-NMDAR encephalitis. This link between teratomas and encephalitis shows a paraneoplastic pattern that has mostly been associated with mature ovarian teratomas in females, although it can happen in males as well. If caught in time, immediate surgical removal of the tumor as well as immunotherapy and steroid treatment can reverse much of the neurological impairment in patients. This is a case report of a patient with a rare immature teratoma and gliomatosis peritonei that will highlight the importance of pelvic imaging early on in the work-up for self-reported abnormal neurological deficits.

«A cui non manca che la fortuna d’avere avuto il natale in tempo più felice»: “La Teseide” di Teresa Bandettini (1805)
Authors: Guassardo Giada
Published: July 2024

Nonostante Teresa Bandettini (1763-1837) sia stata celebrata, in vita e dai posteri, soprattutto per il suo talento di poetessa estemporanea, che le valse l’ammissione in Arcadia con il nome di Amarilli Etrusca, le sue ambizioni erano riposte nella poesia "pensata": in particolare nel poema epico-mitologico La Teseide, edito nel 1805 e oggi quasi dimenticato. Nel contributo si entrerà nel laboratorio del testo e si evidenzieranno gli aspetti che sul piano della materia, dell’impostazione narrativa e dello stile denotano l’adesione integrale di Amarilli a una poetica classicista. Nello specifico si esamineranno l’articolazione narrativa del poema e la caratterizzazione del personaggio di Teseo, e si offriranno alcuni esempi di riscrittura dai classici latini e volgari, la cui strategia potrebbe essere stata condizionata anche dall’esperienza di improvvisatrice della poetessa.
Sul Palatino. Dal regno di Evandro alla Repubblica d’Arcadia
Authors: Appetecchi Elisabetta
Published: July 2024

Il manoscritto 16 dell’Accademia dell’Arcadia contiene una Genealogia e un Albero Genealogico dei Re d’Arcadia. Le carte risalgono, con tutta probabilità, ai primi anni di vita dell’Accademia, ossia al periodo in cui gli Arcadi stavano scrivendo una succinta storia d’Arcadia, in cui ripercorrevano le tappe attraverso le quali si era strutturata come una Repubblica a partire dalle sue origini leggendarie, ovvero da quando Evandro era giunto sul Palatino insieme agli Arcadi fuggiti dalla loro terra. La riforma del tempo e la creazione di una Efemeride di ispirazione greca, così come il ricordo del culto dei numi indigeti, rispondono entrambi all’istanza dei fondatori di dare al consesso una prestigiosa origine mitologica. Una tale eredità non tardò a manifestarsi nella prosa e nella poesia dell’Accademia, soprattutto in quei componimenti che gli Arcadi lessero presso il Bosco Parrasio sul Palatino, luogo in cui arrivarono, al pari di Evandro, dopo varie peregrinazioni e dove avrebbero promulgato le Leges nel 1696.

Variables that have revived new interest through computational developments and extensive data analysis. This article contributes to the subject by generalizing the bivariate copula introduced recently in8 and based on the concept of the counter-monotonic shock method. The proposed copula has the feature of covering the full range of negative dependence induced by two dependence parameters, which is not so common in the specialized literature. We examine the main characteristics of this copula. In particular, the absolutely continuous and singular copula components are derived. Analytical expressions of important concordance measures, such as Spearman’s rho and Kendall’s tau, are established, along with expressions of the product moments. A real neutrosophic data set, based on the daily quality of air in the New York Metropolitan Area, is used to illustrate the applicability of the proposed copula, with quite convincing results.

Published: July 2024

Unlike most current rice cultivars, rice produced in the deepwater habitat may live for at least a month in water depths exceeding 50 cm. In this experiment, 30 M6 populations developed by irradiation of Laksmidigha rice seeds utilizing 200 Gy dose of gamma rays were assessed based on morpho-physiological and agronomic traits. Six mutant populations exhibited noticeably longer leaves, with LD-200-1-1-2-6 being the only mutant population to have noticeably more grain weight/hill than the parent. But none of the mutant populations had significantly wider leaf breadth at any of the three points of the flag leaf and average as well. Six mutant populations LD-200-1-3-3-3, LD-200-1-3-3-4, LD-200-1-3-3-5, LD-200-1-3-2-1, LD-200-1-1-2-1 and LD-200-1-1-2-6 produced significantly higher grain yield/hill which also had significantly longer panicle lengths, internode lengths and heavier 1000-grain weight than the parent. It was discovered through a correlation analysis that grain weight/hill was positively and significantly connected with panicle length and 1000-grain weight, whereas its association with internode distance was positively but not significantly correlated. But the correlation of internode distance with 1000-grain weight was significantly positive. The six mutant populations that significantly increased grain yield/hill compared to the parent also had higher levels of total chlorophyll and chlorophyll "a" in their flag leaves. In anatomical studies of roots, it was found that all the 21 cross sections showed damaged cortex with different degrees except LD-200-1-3-3-7 and LD-200-1-1-2-5. Even the parent grown in Chamber-1 showed minimum cortex damage. Also, the grain yield of these two mutant populations did not differ significantly from the parent although chlorophyll “a” and total chlorophyll contents were much higher.

Background: Allergic conjunctivitis, causing eye inflammation and redness, requires effective treatment with alcaftadine 0.25% and olopatadine 0.2% eye drops.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of alcaftadine and olopatadine ophthalmic medications in mild-to-moderate allergic conjunctivitis.

Materials and Methods: A prospective, open-label, comparative study of 60 patients randomized into two study groups of 30 patients each. Each group was assigned to receive either olopatadine or alcaftadine ophthalmic solutions. Patients were followed through at regular intervals with a reduction of signs and symptoms documented using total ocular symptom scoring (TOSS) and hyperemia scale systems.

Results: Baseline (1st visit) mean TOSS scores for the alcaftadine group and olopatadine groups were (6.12±1.92) and (6.32±1.80), respectively, as compared to the corresponding TOSS scores on 14th Day (4th visit) which were (0.5±0.11) and (0.9±0.40), respectively. The resolution of conjunctival symptoms in the alcaftadine group was significantly profoundly as comparison to olopatadine group (P = 0.004). Baseline (1st visit) mean hyperemia scores for alcaftadine group and olopatadine groups were (2.1±1.71) and (2.2±1.52), respectively, as comparison to the corresponding hyperemia scores on 14th day (4th visit) which were (0.08±0.01) and (0.6±0.32), respectively. The resolution of hyperemia symptoms in the alcaftadine group was significantly profound as compared to the olopatadine group (P = 0.002).

Conclusion: Two topical medications utilized in the study were effective and safe for the therapy of allergic conjunctivitis. However, alcaftadine appears to surpass olopatadine in alleviating the symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis while having a lower side effect profile.

Published: July 2024

The main goal of this study is to design a novel plugin for the Autopsy forensic framework to enable forensic analysts to identify and extract volatile memory from small-scale digital devices. This includes network peripherals and Internet of Things devices, smartphones, and industrial-control systems. Given the importance of volatile memory to digital crime and cybersecurity investigations, an accurate and reliable tool is needed to non-destructively acquire forensic copies of the evidence. In the context of small-scale devices, this study is of acute importance to bridge the gap that exists in current forensic research and forensic practice, using separate tools can be challenging due to compatibility issues and the complexity of managing multiple system. In conclusion, the developed Autopsy plugin, which has been termed the MemoryIntegrator, seamlessly harmonizes with Autopsy forensic framework and is designed to work together with Volatility tool, specializing in detailed memory analysis. Consequently, the following main outcomes result from the experimentation and application of the plugin: Promotes the default forensic activity of Autopsy by providing the analysts with a way to swiftly and directly harvest and evaluate volatile data from diverse small scale digital devices. The implementation of the plugin ensures that the integrity of the memory data is maintained throughout the extraction and analysis process. This is facilitated by cryptographic hash validations that confirm that there are no changes in the data from the extraction to the point of analysis. The plugin maintains the integrity of the memory data from the time of extraction to the time of analysis using cryptographic hash validations which verifies that these data has not been manipulated at this point. MemoryIntegrator outmatched all the forensic tools herewith because conducting forensic test back at home verified its superiority in terms of the extraction of data from memory speed and the authenticity and formula which it uses in analysis. In the modern world, this is critical to investigate digital crimes and incidences that affect cybersecurity.
