Authors: GÜLTEPE İlhami
Published: May 2022

Objective: The aim of this study is to look at the rate and causes of anemia in geriatric patients over the age of 65 who are hospitalized on the medical wards.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively investigated the data of 200 elderly older patients who were hospitalized between 2018 and 2021 in a private university hospital.Results: We determined that 101 (50.5%) of the patients were females and the rest were males 99 (49.5%). The mean age for females was 80.76±3.5 years and for males was 79.93±4.2 years. The oldest patient was aged 102 years, while the youngest one was 66 years. The rate of anemia was 63.5% (127 patients).Conclusion: The majority of geriatric patients admitted to the medical wards had anemia. We recommended taking anemia into account in geriatric patients at the time of hospitalization and with appropriate management.
The value of genotype-specific reference for transcriptome analyses in barley
Authors: Guo Wenbin , Coulter Max , Waugh Robbie , Zhang Runxuan
Published: May 2022

It is increasingly apparent that although different genotypes within a species share “core” genes, they also contain variable numbers of “specific” genes and different structures of “core” genes that are only present in a subset of individuals. Using a common reference genome may thus lead to a loss of genotype-specific information in the assembled Reference Transcript Dataset (RTD) and the generation of erroneous, incomplete or misleading transcriptomics analysis results. In this study, we assembled genotype-specific RTD (sRTD) and common reference–based RTD (cRTD) from RNA-seq data of cultivated Barke and Morex barley, respectively. Our quantitative evaluation showed that the sRTD has a significantly higher diversity of transcripts and alternative splicing events, whereas the cRTD missed 40% of transcripts present in the sRTD and it only has ∼70% accurate transcript assemblies. We found that the sRTD is more accurate for transcript quantification as well as differential expression analysis. However, gene-level quantification is less affected, which may be a reasonable compromise when a high-quality genotype-specific reference is not available.

Published: May 2022

MiRNAs are small noncoding RNAs that promote the sequence-specific repression of their respective target genes, thereby regulating diverse physiological as well as pathological processes. Here, we identify a novel role of the miR-26 family in early B cell development. We show that enhanced expression of miR-26 family members potently blocks the pre-B to immature B cell transition, promotes pre-B cell expansion and eventually enables growth factor independency. Mechanistically, this is at least partially mediated by direct repression of the tumor-suppressor Pten, which consequently enhances PI3K-AKT signaling. Conversely, limiting miR-26 activity in a more physiological loss-of-function approach counteracts proliferation and enhances pre-B cell differentiation in vitro as well as in vivo. We therefore postulate a rheostat-like role for the miR-26 family in progenitor B cells, with an increase in mature miR-26 levels signaling cell expansion, and facilitating pre-B to the immature B cell progression when reduced.

Radiation therapy generates extensive cancer cell death capable of promoting tumor-specific immunity. Within the tumor, conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) are known to carry tumor-associated antigens to the draining lymph node (TdLN) where they initiate T-cell priming. How radiation influences cDC migration is poorly understood. Here, we show that immunological efficacy of radiation therapy is dependent on cDC migration in radioimmunogenic tumors. Using photoconvertible mice, we demonstrate that radiation impairs cDC migration to the TdLN in poorly radioimmunogenic tumors. Comparative transcriptional analysis revealed that cDCs in radioimmunogenic tumors express genes associated with activation of endogenous adjuvant signaling pathways when compared with poorly radioimmunogenic tumors. Moreover, an exogenous adjuvant combined with radiation increased the number of migrating cDCs in these poorly radioimmunogenic tumors. Taken together, our data demonstrate that cDC migration play a critical role in the response to radiation therapy.

Upon aging, the function of the intestinal epithelium declines with a concomitant increase in aging-related diseases. ISCs play an important role in this process. It is known that ISC clonal dynamics follow a neutral drift model. However, it is not clear whether the drift model is still valid in aged ISCs. Tracking of clonal dynamics by clonal tracing revealed that aged crypts drift into monoclonality substantially faster than young ones. However, ISC tracing experiments, in vivo and ex vivo, implied a similar clonal expansion ability of both young and aged ISCs. Single-cell RNA sequencing for 1,920 high Lgr5 ISCs from young and aged mice revealed increased heterogeneity among subgroups of aged ISCs. Genes associated with cell adhesion were down-regulated in aged ISCs. ISCs of aged mice indeed show weaker adhesion to the matrix. Simulations applying a single cell–based model of the small intestinal crypt demonstrated an accelerated clonal drift at reduced adhesion strength, implying a central role for reduced adhesion for affecting clonal dynamics upon aging.

Ethical Challenges Among Nurses in Samoa: Workplace, Practice and Profession
Authors:   , Sau Alovale
Published: May 2022

This research explores and seeks to understand nursing perspectives/interpretations of ethical challenges within Samoan workplaces, and the impact on nurses’ ethical decision making and their nursing practices. It is well known that nurses often encounter ethical challenges in their everyday practice, and researchers from developed countries explore these challenges and generate models and theories about ways to address these issues within the nursing profession. However much less is known about such issues in developing countries, and there has been little, if any, research on the ethical practices of nurses in the Pacific region, such as in Samoa. To perform the research as both theoretically sound and culturally appropriate as it could be, the Ietoga research model (a developing methodology that recognises the nuances of the Samoan context) in association with “Teu o le Va” and “Samoan Philosophy of Nursing” was incorporated during data collection and analysis.

The study is a mixed methods approach that employed a sequential exploratory design (SED). The two-phase design explores the topic by firstly using a qualitative method with twenty-one participant nurse experts, through interview techniques. Thematic analysis was used to extract themes that were later used to develop a survey questionnaire. The quantitative method phase used the purposively made survey questionnaire to collect 221 responses from nurses’ respondents that was analysed by using descriptive analysis. The findings from both analyses of the study were transformed into a conceptual model (called the Sulu Model) that is presented as a symbolic representation of Tuiga, a cultural headdress. The model presents the viewpoints of nurses’ concerning ethical knowledge, ethical challenges and ethical decision making in Samoa by means of five main key findings. First, fa’asamoa (culture) as a foundational and collective perspective of the meanings of ethics as perceived within Samoa, and by Samoan nurses in particular. Second, perspectives of socio-cultural knowledge relating to nursing ethics and education. Third, the attempted integration of western perspectives of nursing ethics in nursing education. Fourth, the experiences of ethical challenges in nursing practice, and lastly, decision making considerations and approaches to these ethical challenges. The study therefore contributes a particularly Samoan approach to the existing knowledge of nursing ethics and methodological approaches to research from socio-cultural, contextual and professional perspectives. The study concludes with implications and recommendations for nursing education and practice, for quality assurance, and also ideas for improvements to quality (ethical) patient care within the Samoan health care organisational culture.
Inhalation Devices and Pulmonary Drug Delivery
Authors: Tony Sara M , Abdelrahim Mohamed EA
Published: May 2022

Inhaled drug delivery is mainly used to treat pulmonary airway disorders by transporting the drug directly to its targeted location for action. This decreases the dose required to exert a therapeutic effect and minimizes any potential adverse effects. Direct drug delivery to air passages facilitates a faster onset of action; it also minimizes irritation to the stomach, which frequently occurs with oral medications, and prevents the exposure of drugs to pre-systemic metabolism that takes place in the intestine and liver. In addition to that, the lung is regarded as a route for transporting medications throughout the entire body’s blood circulation. The type of medication and the device used to deliver it are both important elements in carrying the drug to its target in the lungs. Different types of inhalation methods are used in inhaled delivery. They differ in the dose delivered, inhalation technique, and other factors. This paper will discuss these factors in more detail.
Methods in Determining the Bioequivalence of Inhaled Products
Authors: Tony Sara M , Abdelrahim Mohamed EA
Published: May 2022

Aerosol delivery to the lungs can be achieved with several devices that differ in their operating mechanisms and efficacies of aerosol delivery. There are several methods to measure aerosol delivery and deposition in a subject’s lung, in order to assess the efficacy of aerosol generators and the impact of certain drugs. Instruments such as cascade impactors, imaging techniques, and laser diffraction are available for measuring the particle size of aerosols, which is the main factor in the deposition and distribution of the produced aerosol. From impactors to laser diffractors, they have different operating mechanisms, analysis times, and characteristics, in which each has its own advantages and limitations. Several models are available to investigate aerosol delivery and deposition, such as in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo models.
The Road to Professorship: A Latina/o/x Journey
Authors:   , Mondragon Luis
Published: May 2022

Even as the number of Latina/o/x students enrolling in higher education institutions and obtaining higher education degrees continues to grow, the proportion of Latina/o/x professors remains among the lowest in the country. The low representation of Latina/o/x professors in higher education is a social justice issue because they are not participating equitably. Additionally, there is a gap in the literature regarding Latina/o/x professors’ lived experiences and their journey to the professoriate. Consequently, using the culturally relevant qualitative research method testimonios and the theoretical framework of Latino critical race theory (LatCrit) to guide the research, this study set out to learn more about Latina/o/x professors through the following research question: What were the lived experiences of Latina/o/x faculty when they were students in higher education, and what factors led them to pursue a career in academia? Analysis of eight participants’ testimonios uncovered the following central themes to their journeys: the salience of ethnicity, familial connection and support, precollege academic success, precollege struggles, college considerations, higher education support programs, involvement and belonging, mentorship, higher education challenges, best experiences and memories from higher education, the role of personal aspirations in graduate school persistence, career motivations, and career apprehensions.

Biochar is one of the most concerned research hotspots at present, which is a stable and carbon-rich solid produced by pyrolysis of organic biomass under anoxic conditions. Biochar has abundant pore structure, functional groups, aromatic hydrocarbons and other characteristics, which enable it to improve soil physical and chemical properties, increase nutrient content, and regulate soil microbial community structure. In recent years, with the continuous research on biochar, the role of biochar in the remediation of heavy metal pollution has been further studied. The physical adsorption, ion exchange, electrostatic attraction, complexation reaction, mineral precipitation, redox and other functions of biochar are the main factors for repairing heavy metal ions. In addition, immobilization is the primary goal of biochar remediation of heavy metals in agricultural soils, because it can greatly reduce the risk of human health caused by heavy metals entering the food chain. This paper reviewed the current knowledge of biochar and its function in agricultural heavy metal soil. Based on the background of heavy metal pollution in agricultural soil in China, the possible remediation mechanism of biochar was discussed. It provides scientific basis for the development and application of biochar in the remediation of heavy metal pollution in agricultural soil in China.

Deshonestidad Académica: Gravedad percibida y Desarrollo de la Escala de Deshonestidad Académica en estudiantes universitarios mexicanos
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Reskala Félix
Published: May 2022

La deshonestidad académica se relaciona con actos laborales deshonestos, un menor aprendizaje, y una mala reputación de las instituciones educativas. Esto ha llevado a desarrollar cuestionarios para medirla, sin embargo pocos estudios reportan las estructuras factoriales de sus instrumentos. Asimismo, pocas investigaciones exploran la relación entre la gravedad percibida y la deshonestidad académica. Por esa razón este estudio identifica la estructura factorial del “Cuestionario de Deshonestidad Académica” (CDA) y se reporta la correlación entre la frecuencia y gravedad percibida en comportamientos deshonestos académicamente. Para esto se aplicó el CDA a estudiantes universitarios además de una estimación de la gravedad percibida. Los resultados muestran que el cuestionario de tres factores incluye comportamientos de copia y plagio, entre otras. Asimismo se observó una correlación negativa entre las acciones de deshonestidad académica y la gravedad percibida. Se considera que el CDA permitirá una correcta estimación de la deshonestidad académica y se explica que la gravedad percibida es un factor relevante en la prevalencia de la deshonestidad académica.

Published: May 2022

Peridotite xenoliths, raised to the surface by alkaline basalts or kimberlites,provide us direct information on the processes and composition of the upper mantle. They are the major source of information on the state of stress,pressure and temperature in the deep mantle. They are thus a source of petrological and geochemical information that is generally not available on the Earth’s surface. Fresh spinel-lherzolite xenoliths exhibit a protogranular components of the Tello volcano. The Tello is the continental sector of the Cameroon Line, located in the South East of the town of Ngaoundéré at 75 km approximately between (N7° 13’, N7° 14’) and (E13° 40’ and E13° 60’). Minerals’ composition of the xenoliths is ~64% olivine, ~24% orthopyroxene, ~11% clinopyroxene and ~1% spinel. Significant variation in (Cr/Cr + Al) of the system shows the reciprocal nature of the spinel solution.The Tello spinel lherzolites show internal chemical homogeneity and represent a normal upper mantle. Their mineral chemistries suggest equilibrium condition of 830° - 925° and 1.4 GPa-2.3 GPa. These data suggest that there is good correlation bracket between increasing activity of Al2O3 and decreasing of practionning of TiO2 into spinel. The AlIV and AlVI contents vary by 0.05-0.2 and 0.03-0.2 respectively. The majority of samples caracterise the lithospheric mantle.
TV-Therapy: A Preliminary Theoretical Framework
Authors:   University of Music and Performing Arts / Hochschule für Musik und Theater München, MASTNAK WOLFGANG
Published: May 2022

Broadly speaking, television is regarded as a mass media array providing information and entertainment. From a scientific perspective it also involves artistic features and counts as a highly influential socio-cultural phenomenon. While in this context also pathogenic and pathological aspects have been discussed and studied, health promoting and therapeutic factors of television are still greatly underrepresented in the realm of TV-sciences. On the basis of a random sample of qualitative data and meta-synthetic construction, the present article suggests a preliminary eight-dimensional theoretical framework of TV-therapy: (i) identity fusion and introjection, (ii) parallel worlds and escapism, (iii) subliminal mirroring and self-exploration, (iv) biographical work and self-integration, (v) therapeutic transference and creative coping, (vi) self-administration and self-regulation, (vii) social adjustment and virtual networking and (viii) TV as a source of topics and an incentive for people to communicate. Regarding psychodynamic impacts of television, the article encourages further studies on the interaction between television and individuals with mental conditions such as schizophrenia or eating disorders, as well as health-related TV-education. Television may become an important tool in public health, which calls television programme creators and television production companies into play.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı karantina sürecinde özel gereksinimli çocuk ebeveynlerinin ortaya çıkan stresle baş etme stratejileri ile aktivite-rol dengeleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmanın örneklemini 15 Mart-15 Haziran 2020 tarihlerinde karantina dönemi nedeniyle özel eğitim ve tedavilerine ara vermek durumunda olan özel gereksinimli çocuğa sahip 54 ebeveyn oluşturdu. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan bilgi formu, Stresle Başa Çıkma Tutumları Ölçeği (Coping Strategies with Stress Inventory-COPE), Zarit Bakım Veren Yükü Ölçeği (Zarit BVYÖ) ve Aktivite-Rol Denge Anketi kullanıldı. Sonuçlar: Stresle başa çıkma tutumları ile bakım yükü arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde (r= 0,536; p=0,000) anlamlı ilişki olduğu bulundu. Stresle başa çıkma tutumları ile aktivite-rol dengesi arasında (r= -0,167; p=0,274) ve bakım yükü ile aktivite-rol dengesi arasında (r= 0,180; p=0,238) anlamlı ilişki bulunmadı (p>0,05). Çalışmaya katılan ebeveynlerin karantina döneminde bakım verme yükleri nedeni ile en fazla rekreasyonel aktivitelerine katılım zorluğu yaşadıkları bulundu (20 kişi, %37,2). Tartışma: Özel gereksinimli çocuğa sahip ebeveynlerde stresle başa çıkma stratejileri ve aktivite-rol dengelerini etkileyebilecek başka parametrelerin incelendiği çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Ayrıca ebeveynlerin algılanan bakım veren yükü arttıkça serbest zaman aktivitelerine katılımda zorluk yaşadıkları sonucu dikkate alınarak yaşam dengesinin düzenlenmesi hedefli ergoterapi programlarının oluşturulması önerilmektedir.

Authors: s Sushmita
Published: May 2022

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) and urdbean (Vigna mungo L.) are major pulses crops predominantly cultivated during rainy season in northern and central India and during winter season in costal belt. In India, mungbean and urdbean productivity is constrained by a number of foliar and root diseases. Exploitation of host plant resistance for the development of high yielding varieties is the most economical and feasible component of integrated diseases management (IDM), hence remain a major objective of the crop improvement programmes around the world. The present investigation was undertaken to identify resistant donors against yellow mosaic disease (YMD) and therefore 200 germplasm accessions of mungbean and 100 of urdbean procured from ICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (ICAR-NBPGR), New Delhi and ICAR-Indian Institute of Pulses Research (ICAR-IIPR), Kanpur were phenotyped under natural field conditions, besides molecular characterization of viral pathogen and monitoring growth parameters.

A study was carried out by the Gramin Krishi Mausam Sewa (GKMS), Malkangiri, Odisha during 2020-21 to verify the usability of medium range weather forecasts along with impact of weather based agro advisories on rice and groundnut. Results of the study showed high degree of accuracy of forecast (usability) for different weather parameters (except rainfall in monsoon season, minimum temperature in winter season, morning relative humidity in winter season and afternoon relative humidity in pre-monsoon season). On other hand, those farmers followed weather based agro advisories (AAS farmers) recorded 7.94 and 14.22% more yield in rice and groundnut, respectively as compared to non-users of weather based agro advisories (non AAS farmers). AAS farmers also received more economic return from rice and groundnut. Thus, accurate weather forecasts helped the farmers in decision-making on the crop production operations and application of weather based agro advisories were useful for enhancing the production and income from rice and groundnut in studied regi
An Overview of Indian Vegetable: Production Trends and Related Health Hazards

Agriculture has been regarded as one of the most drudgery-prone occupations in the unorganized sector. In vegetable production system both men and women play important role in the entire process from land preparation to harvesting of crops. Vegetable cultivators actively participate in various farm operations such as a ploughing, uprooting, sowing, transplanting, weeding, hoeing,harvesting. They are exposed to number of health hazards the most prevalent of which are musculoskeletal issued like a like strains, low back pain, lower and upper extremity discomfort and so on. It was observed that farmworker generally adopt awkward posture during various activity of vegetable production system. In order to minimize the adverse effect of these postural discomfort and hazard an ergonomic evaluation of farm activity need to be conducted. Ergonomic measures were accomplished by making modification on the task/tool used or by workers moreover training and extension activities will also improve their work productivity and efficiency.

Cypermethrin is gaining popularity among fish farmers community to control aquatic insect pests and ectoparasites. Effect of cypermethrin application at farmer select dose (@0.003 ppm) on aquaculture pests (Notonecta & small prawn) commonly found in tropical ponds along with fish fry was assessed. Effect of cypermethrin application on the composition and survivability dynamics of aquatic microfauna namely rotifer, copepod and cladocera for 8 days was studied in tropical pond conditions. Cypermethrin cause significantly higher mortality to notonecta and prawn compared to fish fry within 24 h of exposure (P<0.05).
Improved Protocol of RNA Isolation for Transcriptome Analysis of Poaceae Plants
Authors: Khandhar Dharam
Published: May 2022

The existence of metabolites that interfere with isolation procedures and downstream applications makes plant RNA extraction difficult. The current research used a standardized RNA extraction protocol from maize (Zea mays L.). We developed a protocol for extracting pure RNA from plant tissues using both extraction buffer and the TRIzol reagent, and show that this RNA extraction method works not only at Low temperatures but also at room temperatures, making it the easiest and most efficient method for extracting pure and undegraded RNA directly from tropical plants in the field. RNA isolation methods based on our modified protocol yielded good results in maize leaf, seed, flowers and other grass species. The isolated RNA was found to be suitable for both PCR and RT-PCR amplification and transcriptome analysis. The method is repeatable and can be used to isolate high-quality RNA and conduct gene expression studies. RNA extraction paves the way for deciphering the complex regulatory network involved in multiple stress responses by studying gene-environment interactions at the transcriptome level.
Influence of Silicon on Translocation, Compartmentation and Uptake of Lead in Leafy Vegetables
Authors: Ngugi Moses M.
Published: May 2022

Lead (Pb) has phytotoxic and toxic effects on plants and animals. Leafy vegetables accumulate this element resulting in enrichment along the food chain. Silicon has beneficial effects in enhancing plants’ tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses including heavy metals such as Pb. The study was carried out under greenhouse and field conditions aiming at determining the effects of silicon on transfer, mobility, and uptake of lead by leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, and amaranths). The greenhouse experiment was carried out as a split-plot arranged in Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The vegetable species were allocated to the main plots whereas the treatments (Pb, Pb+Si, Si, and Control) were assigned to the subplots. The field experiment was sited in polluted soils, and treatment included control and Si, applied to spinach, kale, and amaranths. Data was collected on Pb concentrations in roots, stems, and leaves, transfer factor, mobility index, and uptake of lead by leafy vegetables. Lead concentration was highest in roots, intermediate in stems, and least in leaves. Silicon application reduced concentration, transfer factor, mobility, and uptake of lead by 20, 40, 15, and 24%, respectively. The lead transfer factor and translocation index was less than one. Pearson correlation coefficient indicated a strong positive correlation between lead concentrations in soils and plant tissues of leafy vegetables. Application of silicon on polluted soils reduced transfer and mobility of lead in edible tissues of leafy vegetables. The study recommends silicon application to reduce the concentration of lead on vegetable tissues, however, it recommends against vegetable production for human consumption on polluted soils.
Plant Growth Promoting Activity and Biocontrol Potential of Soil Yeast
Authors: R. Poorniammal,
Published: May 2022

Among soil microorganisms, yeasts have received little attention as bioonoculant and biocontrol agents in comparison to bacterial, actinomycetes, and filamentous fungal antagonists. The ability of certain taxa of yeasts to multiply rapidly, to produce antibiotics and cell wall-degrading enzymes, to induce resistance of host tissues, and to produce plant growth regulators indicates the potential to exploit them as biocontrol agents and plant growth promoters. We investigated the ability of the soil yeast Rhodotorula sp. and Candida tropicalis to stimulate plant growth promoting characters and biocontrol potential. In vitro culture experiments found that Rhodotorula sp. SY3 (623.14 ug/ml with tryptophan: 150.12 ug/ml without tryptophan) and Candida tropicalis SY5 (580.25 ug/ml - with tryptophan: 120.24 ug/ml - without tryptophan) produces large quantities of indole acetic acid (IAA), but grows rapidly on aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) as a sole source of nitrogen, indicative of high ACC deaminase activity.
