Authors: KAUR GURPREET , RANA S. K. , ANAND PRAHLAD MASURKAR AND SIDDHARTH
Published: June 2024

Fusarium head blight, commonly called scab and caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe, poses a substantial and persistent risk to global wheat cultivation. This study focused on the in vitro assessment of various botanicals and biocontrol agents for their efficacy in plant protection. The investigation aimed to identify alternatives to conventional chemical pesticides by evaluating the antimicrobial and antifungal properties of selected botanical extracts and biocontrol agents. Among all the botanicals studied, the aqueous extract of Acorus calamus at 500 ?g/mL concentration reduced the mycelial growth of F. graminearum by 78.73%, and the alcoholic extract of the same plant gave absolute control at 400 ?g/mL concentration. All other plant extracts were comparatively less active. The in vitro evaluation of bioagents revealed that Trichoderma harzianum (TH-5) was the most effective, giving 43.64% mycelial growth inhibition of the pathogen. This research contributes valuable insights into the potential utilization of botanicals and biocontrol agents as sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives in wheat crop protection strategies, which can help promote environmentally conscious agricultural practices..

Enhanced Expression of Defense Enzymes in Groundnut (Arachis Hypogaea) Plants Through the Combined Application of Marine Macroalgae and Bioagents to Combat Sclerotium Rolfsii
Authors: KANNAN A. PRAVEEN AND C.
Published: June 2024

Groundnut, Arachis hypogaea L., is a leguminous crop widely cultivated for its edible oil seeds. It faces significant challenges from soil-borne diseases, including Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc., which severely affect groundnut production and productivity. Biological control methods offer broader treatment alternatives than traditional chemical approaches. The present study investigated the activation of defense enzymes such as peroxidase (PO), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) in groundnut plants under pot culture conditions. The plants were treated with different marine macroalgae and bioagent combinations, where inoculation with S. rolfsii was challenged. Among the nine treatments, T4 {seed treatment [ST] by Sargassum wightii extract at 2% + soil application (SA) of S. wightii at 100 g/pot + ST by Trichoderma asperellum (Tr-3) at 4 g/kg of seeds + SA with T. asperellum (Tr-3) at 50 g/pot} concentrations gave the maximum increased activities of PO (1.40 changes in absorbance min/g of leaf tissue), PPO (2.03 changes in absorbance min/g of leaf tissue), and PAL (9.56 changes in absorbance min/g of leaf tissue). In contrast, the inoculated control exhibited minimal activity of these enzymes. The increased enzyme activities were recorded until 24 days after sowing, and a gradual decrease was observed afterward. The present study showed that marine macroalgae and bioagents could enhance defense enzyme activity in groundnut plants and significantly prevent the disease caused by S. rolfsii..

Authors: SHNEEN SUNDUS YASEEN , HUSSAIN MUNA IBRAHIM JASSEMAND KIASER ABDULSAJJAD M.
Published: June 2024

The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using Moringa oleifera leaf extracts and the evaluation of their effect on the biology of the pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus, were carried out. The efficiency of the nanocomposite and M. oleifera extract was used to determine the mortality of the insects, egg production, and egg hatching. In this experiment, 10 insects, including 5 males and 5 females, were placed on 10 g of cowpea seeds and treated with three concentrations (1, 1.5, and 2%) of the nanoproduct and Moringa leaf extract. Due to the nanocomposite, 80% mortality was recorded compared to no mortality in controls after 7-day post-treatment at a 2% treatment level. The fecundity was reduced to 27.77% compared to 42.33% in controls, and egg hatching was only 9.82% compared to 90.99% in controls. The Moringa extract application incurred significantly similar mortality at the three concentrations, ranging between 43 and 50%. However, fecundity decreased to 8.44%. The results suggest that the Moringa plant leaf extract significantly impacted eggs' fecundity and fertility more than the nanoproduct; however, the nanocomposite was more toxic. The nanoparticle-based product for transferring candidate extract to the target site was significantly better (high toxicity) than M. oleifera extract alone..

Authors: MATLOOB AMEER ALI HASSAN ALMUMIN AND AHED A. H.
Published: June 2024

The study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the microorganism preparation, effective microorganisms (EM-1), the chemical inducer chitosan, and plant extracts to control broad bean root rot pathogens under laboratory conditions. Many species of fungi were isolated and diagnosed from the roots of broad bean plants infected with root rot. The most common pathogenic fungi were Rhizoctonia solani and Macrophomina phaseolina, isolated from all regions. The results showed that microorganism preparation EM1 inhibited the growth of R. solani (Rs4) and M. phaseolina (Mp6) on the potato dextrose agar (PDA) culture medium at 10 and 15% concentration with 100% inhibition compared to the control treatments. Chitosan also inhibited the growth of R. solani and M. phaseolina in the PDA medium; however, treatments with Sinapis alba (Mustard), Plantago spp. (Plantago), and Sinapis arvensis (Charlock) plant extracts were variable under similar conditions. S. alba inhibited the growth of these fungi at 10 and 15%, and 100% inhibition was recorded. The Plantago extract was specifically effective against R. solani. The results of this study are the first in Iraq to demonstrate the effectiveness of the chemical inducer chitosan in inhibiting the growth of the pathogenic fungi that cause the root rot disease of broad beans..

Crucial issues related to the protection and supervision of Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) working abroad. In the context of the Indonesian economy, PMI has an important role in generating economic contributions to the country and providing economic benefits for their families in Indonesia. Constitutional foundations, such as Article 27 paragraph (2) and Article 28D paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, as well as the Indonesian Migrant Manpower Law No. 18 of 2017, have provided a clear legal framework on the obligations of local governments in regulating, fostering, implementing, and protecting the rights of migrant workers. However, there are still obstacles and violations that often occur in sending workers abroad, such as unsettled wage payments and contract problems. This study aims to analyze local government supervision of labor supply companies in Cirebon Regency and identify common violations in sending workers abroad along with the necessary solutions. The research findings highlight the importance of increased supervision, stricter law enforcement, and cross-border collaboration to protect and improve migrant workers' working conditions, and make it the basis for recommending further measures for the welfare of Indonesian migrant workers.

School is a system consisting of components that are interrelated and influence each other to achieve one goal. In an effort to achieve school goals, a lot of data processing is carried out. However, middle school academic data processing, especially around me, is still done manually and is still less effective and efficient. Manual processes are error-prone, time-consuming, and often lead to data inconsistencies. By designing this web-based academic information system, it is hoped that it can increase efficiency and effectiveness in processing data and accessing data quickly.  The design of this system is expected to be able to manage student data, teacher data, class data, schedule data and student grade data efficiently. Web-based solutions provide the flexibility to access the system from anywhere, which is especially useful for teachers, students and administrative staff. This accessibility will facilitate better communication and collaboration between all stakeholders in the school environment. Additionally, features such as automatic report generation, attendance tracking, and real-time updates will significantly reduce the administrative workload and allow teachers to focus more on educational activities. By implementing this web-based academic information system, the school environment is expected to experience positive impacts, including increased data accuracy, better resource allocation, and increased decision-making abilities. Ultimately, the system aims to support the school's mission of providing quality education and fostering an environment where students can thrive academically. The successful implementation of this system will become a model for other schools that want to modernize their academic data management processes

Authors: Patel Madhav R. , Jacob Kevin C. , Parsons Alexander W. , Vanjani Nisheka N. , Cha Elliot D.K. , Lynch Conor P. , Prabhu Michael C. , Pawlowski Hanna , Singh Kern
Published: June 2024

Background

Some patients may achieve a minimum clinically important difference (MCID) at an early postoperative time point, but these are not always retained long-term. We aim to characterize risk factors for regressing below a level of meaningful improvement in patients who had previously achieved an MCID following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).

Methods

A prospectively maintained surgical database was retrospectively reviewed for ACDF procedures. PROMs including visual analogue scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), 12-Item Short Form Physical Component Summary (SF-12 PCS), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System physical function (PROMIS PF), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were administered at preoperative and postoperative time points. MCID achievement was assessed by comparing postoperative improvements in PROM scores from preoperative baseline to the previously established threshold values.

Results

A total of 351 ACDF patients were included: 204 patients underwent single level procedures and 147 underwent multi-level ACDF. The greatest proportions of patients achieved MCID for VAS neck at 6-months (56.3%), VAS arm at 6-months (38.5%), NDI at 6-months (68.1%), SF-12 PCS at 6-months (45.1%), and PROMIS-PF at 1-year (69.0%) Significant predictors for MCID drop-off were: Preoperative PHQ-9 (RR 1.1, p=0.011) , smoker status (RR 2.2, p=0.038) and preoperative VAS arm (RR 1.2, p=0.001) for VAS arm , none for NDI, and BMI (RR 1.1, p=0.006) for PROMIS PF.

Conclusion

Highest rates of MCID achievement were 6-months following ACDF. Higher BMI, greater preoperative arm pain, smoking, and depression identified as significant risk factors for MCID drop-off for various PROMs. Male sex and anterior cervical plating were factors against regression of previously attained MCID for SF-12 PCS and VAS neck, respectively. Understanding the relationship between preoperative risk-inducing and protective variables for MCID drop-off may allow for earlier management of modifiable risk factors to maintain long-term clinical benefits following ACDF. Discussing factors influencing MCID drop-off with patients may allow for better matching of expectations among provider and patient and ultimately lead to improved satisfaction.

Published: June 2024

Objective

While prior literature have compared postoperative outcomes between surgical and non surgical options based on lumbar disc herniation location and size, postoperative outcome evaluation of decompressive surgical interventions by disc herniation location and size are sparse. The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of different Lumbar disc herniations (LDH) on patient reported outcomes (PROMs) following minimally invasive lumbar decompression (MIS LD).

Methods

MIS LD procedures were identified from a surgical database. PROMs, including Visual Analog Scale (VAS) back/VAS leg/Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)/ Short Form Physical Component Score (SF-12 PCS)/ Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System- physical Function (PROMIS- PF)/ Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), were collected preoperatively and postoperatively. Minimum clinically important difference (MCID) achievement was calculated. Patients were grouped by herniation location and size as follows: paracentral/central with a massive, extruded lumbar disc (HNP I); extraforaminal/far lateral lumbar disc herniation (HNP II). Improvements in PROMs were evaluated using a paired Student’s t-test. Differences in mean scores and variations in MCID achievement rates between groups at each timepoint were evaluated using a simple logistic regression.

Results

The study cohort included 142 patients. Groups differed in age, insurance collected, and hypertension. HNP I patients demonstrated significant improvements in ODI, SF-12 PCS, PROMIS PF, and PHQ-9 through the 2-year timepoint. HNP II patients demonstrated significant improvements through 12-weeks for SF-12 PCS and PROMIS PF, and through 6-months for ODI, and only at the 6-month timepoint for PHQ-9 . Location and size of herniations demonstrated a significant effect on outcomes for VAS leg, ODI, SF-12 PCS, PROMIS PF, and PHQ-9 at intermittent timepoints, all). LDHs properties did not impact MCID achievement rates .

Conclusion

Depending on the size and location of a herniation, patients may experience varying degrees of improvement throughout their course of postoperative recovery but will ultimately arrive at a similar resolution of symptoms.

Published: June 2024

Objective

The aim of this study is to compare completion between PROMIS physical function (PF) and legacy PROMs among cervical spine patients.

Methods

A surgical registry was reviewed for cervical spine procedures performed from May 2015 to June 2020. Patient demographics, spinal pathologies, and perioperative characteristics were recorded. Legacy PROMs included Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), neck disability index (NDI), and 12-Item Short-Form physical component summary (SF-12 PCS). All outcome measures were collected preoperatively and up to 2-years postoperatively. Descriptive statistics were performed. McNemar’s test compared completion rates for individual PROMs at each timepoint. Overall longitudinal completion rates were compared between PROMIS-PF and legacy PROMs using a paired t-test.

Results

A total of 302 patients were included. Most patients had a spinal pathology of herniated nucleus pulposus (80.8%). Survey completion rates were significantly lower for PROMIS-PF compared to legacy PROMs from the preoperative through 6-months postoperative timepoint (all p<0.001) and were significantly greater for PROMIS-PF at the 2-year timepoint (p<0.001). Completion rates did not significantly differ at 1-year (all p>0.170). Overall completion rates were significantly lower for PROMIS-PF (p<0.001).

Conclusion

A greater proportion of cervical spine patients completed legacy PROMs at preoperative and earlier postoperative timepoints. This difference was resolved by 1-year postoperatively and reversed by 2-years. Overall, patients completed a smaller percentage of assigned PROMIS-PF surveys than legacy PROMs. Although overall completion rates were lower for PROMIS-PF, patients may be more likely to complete PROMIS than legacy PROMs at long-term follow up.

Kasih dan Keadilan Allah Berdasarkan Amos 2:6-16
Authors: Prissila Amita
Published: June 2024

Allah mengetahui semua perbuatan manusia yang dilakukan dalam seluruh kehidupan manusia. Allah sangat membenci dosa. Allah ingin menunjukkan bahwa dosa yang dilakukan oleh Israel sudah sangat banyak. Dosa membuat relasi manusia dengan Allah menjadi rusak dan dosa juga membuat relasi manusia dengan sesama rusak. Allah adalah adil, oleh sebab itu setiap manusia yang berbuat dosa harus dihukum. Allah memberikan hukuman kepada Israel tidak dapat ditarik kembali. Meskipun Allah adalah adil, Allah juga adalah Allah yang kasih. Allah adalah Allah yang sangat mengasihi manusia sehingga Allah selalu memperingatkan manusia ketika manusia melakukan perbuatan dosa. Bangsa Israel sudah berbuat dosa berulang-ulang sehingga membuat Tuhan tidak pernah melupakan dosa mereka dan akhirnya Tuhan akan menghukum Israel. Perbuatan jahat Israel telah diamat-amati Tuhan, dan Tuhan sudah menunggu-nunggu perubahan sikap mereka.  Hal ini dapat diartikan bahwa dosa yang dilakukan oleh Israel sebenarnya lama selalu diamat-amati oleh Allah dan sebenarnya Allah sudah lama menunggu bangsa Israel bertobat. Tetapi justru semakin berbuat dosa. Sehingga Allah membuat keputusan dengan mengatakan “Aku tidak akan menarik kembali keputusan-Ku”.
Penulisan artikel ini penulis menggunakan Metode penelitian literatur atau kajian kepustakaan (Library Research) dengan pemaparan deskriptif pendekatan kualitatif dengan cara melakukan penafsiran (Hermeneutik), eksegese (menggali Alkitab) dan Eksposisi (memaparkan maksud dan tujuan teks).
Hasil dari penelitian tentang Kasih dan Keadilan Allah Berdasarkan Amos 2:6-16 dapat diartikan bahwa hukuman yang sudah diputuskan atau ditetapkan oleh Tuhan tidak dapat di ubah-ubah lagi. Tuhan telah mengambil keputusan dan itu tidak dapat ditarik lagi. Pada akhirnya Tuhan menghukum Israel. Allah sangat mengasihi Israel, tetapi Israel tidak peka terhadap suara Allah dan teguran Allah. Oleh karena itu Tuhan menghukum Israel. Setiap manusia seharusnya peka terhadap suara Allah yang memperingatkan manusia dan manusia harus mengambil keputusan untuk bertobat. Jika manusia bertobat maka Allah yang kasih akan menyelamatkan manusia. Manusia juga harus sadar bahwa Allah tidak hanya memiliki sifat kasih saja, tetapi manusia harus sadar bahwa Allah juga Adil, sehingga manusia yang melakukan perbuatan dosa dan tidak mau mendengarkan terguran-Nya, maka akan mendapatkan hukuman dari Allah yang tidak dapat diubah kembali. Oleh sebab itu manusia harus taat kepada ketetapan Allah dan percaya sungguh-sungguh kepada-Nya supaya tidak mendapatkan hukuman. Setiap orang percaya harus menjaga perbuatannya terhadap sesama. Orang percaya harus bersikap adil terhadap sesama. Hal ini didasarkan kasih terhadap sesama manusia. Kasih dan keadilan Allah yang telah diterima oleh orang percaya harus diwujudnyatakan terhadap sesama.

La traducción profesional implica una diversidad de características como ejercicio, ya que no se trata solamente de reestructurar un texto en otro idioma. Esta peculiaridad se vuelve especialmente conflictiva cuando se trata de la traducción literaria, ya que su complejidad depende de aspectos como el género, el lector y la historia en sí misma. Harry Potter es una saga que ha sido sumamente estudiada por traductores y lingüísticas precisamente por sus características tan específicas, dado que más allá de su género de fantasía y de que sus lectores suelen ser niños y jóvenes, la historia por sí sola contiene una gran cantidad de elementos lingüísticos que se basan en juegos de palabras, neologismos, aliteraciones, rimas, entre otros recursos literarios con cargas semánticas importantes para la trama. Por ello, en este estudio se buscó analizar las traducciones inglés-español e inglés-italiano de elementos lingüísticos específicos en el primer libro de dicha saga: Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal, con el objetivo de contrastar tales traducciones y determinar la distancia lingüística generada.
A Comparative Study of Z-Score and Min-Max Normalization for Rainfall Classification in Pekanbaru
Authors: Laska Rahmad Ramadhan , Yolanda Anne Mudya
Published: June 2024

Data preprocessing plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of machine learning algorithms for classification tasks. Among the essential preprocessing stages is data normalization, which aims to standardize data into a comparable range of values. This study focuses on normalizing rainfall data in Pekanbaru from 2019 to 2023. The objective is to compare various data normalization techniques, including Min-Max Normalization and Z-Score Normalization. The comparison of these particular strategies is justified becausethey are widely applied and have different approaches. Min-max normalizationis an easy-to-implement technique that makes the data sensitive to outliers by scaling it to a specific range, often from 0 to 1. However, Z-Score Normalization, sometimes referred to as Standardization, standardizes the data by dividing by the standard deviation and subtracting the mean, maintaining the shape of the distribution and making it resistant to outliers.The findings demonstrate that applying normalization techniques effectively enhances classification performance compared to using unnormalized data. Specifically, the optimal classification performance is achieved through Z-Score Normalization, yielding accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity rates of 74.59%, 82.48%, and 63.92%, respectively

The COVID-19 outbreak has required some health and financial decisions to be made in an unwieldy manner. This has spread uncertainty and lies all over the world. The transmission of false information has been compounded by the problems with fake news. Manyof them gave up on newspapers, magazines, and other print media in favorof Internetpleasure. Online entertainment has become the primary news source for a sizable percentage of the population due to its ease of access, low cost, and rapid spread. In some circumstances, bogus information spreads faster than true information togain popularity over internet entertainment and divert people from the underlying issues. People spread false information using online entertainment for commercial and political benefit. To avoid a harmful influence on society, it is critical to immediately recognizebogus information in all systems. To demonstrate the efficiency of the grouping on the dataset, we produced and tested numerous AI computations independently for this assignment, which looks into research on the recognition of fake news. The Jupyter Notebookstage of this project was used, and the execution was assessed.

Preserving humanity's cultural legacy requires the repair of cultural treasures. Virtual reality (VR), which offers realistic representations and immersive experiences, has become a viable instrument for the restoration of cultural treasures as a result of technological advancements. This research explores the use of sophisticated 3D modelling, rendering, and simplification techniques to digitalize cultural artefacts. The study employs a carefully selected set of 3D models from the publicly available Sketchfab website to examine objects that are representative of cultural heritage, such as the Ashoka Tower, the Tibetan Sacred Props, and the Haihun Marquis Mausoleum. The primary objective is to evaluate how well different rendering algorithms capture and preserve the fine features of these cultural treasures while maximizing computing efficiency. To improve the produced models' visual integrity, the research starts by examining the fundamentals and uses of texture mapping, lighting models, and material attributes. A comparison examination of the original and simplified models is then carried out to assess the trade-offs between rendering time and visual quality in terms of performance. In weighing computing resources against preservation goals, this comparison offers crucial insight on the viability of simplification strategies. The findings highlight how important it is to utilise digital tools to preserve, analyze, and share cultural assets. Through the demonstration of the capabilities of cutting-edge 3D modelling and rendering techniques for capturing and spreading the rich historical and cultural importance embodied by artefacts from many traditions and civilizations, this study adds to the growing area of digital cultural preservation.
