Authors: Biswas PK , Tanni ZA 
Published: November 2020

The experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka with the financial support of SAURES (Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System) to study the possibility of growing quinoa in Bangladesh with different sowing dates having two cultivars. The experiment comprised of two factors; Factor A: Cultivar (2) viz., Titicaca (C1) and Vikinga (C2) and Factor B: Sowing date (5) viz. November -10 (S1), December -10 (S2), January -10 (S3), February -10 (S4) and March -10(S5). The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. Results revealed that different growth parameters, yield attributes and yield were significantly varied with different sowing dates. At harvest, the tallest plant height (63.75 cm), highest seed yield (0.77 t ha-1) and straw yield (0.89 t ha-1) was found from Titicaca but the higher number of branches plant-1 (17.71) from Vikinga. The tallest plant height (62.54 cm), highest branch number plant-1 (22.82), longest inflorescence (29.62 cm), highest 1000-seed weight (2.56 g), seed yield (1.09 t ha-1), straw yield (1.25 t ha-1) and harvest index (46.58%) was exhibited by November -10 sowing. The interaction effect of Titicaca sown in November -10 (C1S1) resulted the highest plant height at harvest (72.83 cm), branches plant-1 (25.20), 1000-seed weight (2.58 g), seed yield (1.16 t ha-1) and straw yield (1.33 t ha-1) but the highest inflorescence length (31.46 cm) and harvest index (47.02%) from C2S2 (Vikinga sown in December – 10). From the above results it can be concluded that quinoa – as a new crop is suitable to cultivate in Rabi season of Bangladesh with a complete agronomic management package.

Published: November 2020

BackgroundAcute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRTI) is often treated in primary care with antibiotics. The recent Oral Steroids for Acute Cough (OSAC) randomised controlled trial (RCT) showed corticosteroids were not an effective alternative in adults without a diagnosis of asthma with ALRTI.AimTo investigate if corticosteroids are beneficial for ALRTI in patients with unrecognised asthma.Design & settingAn exploratory analysis was undertaken of the primary care OSAC trial.MethodA subgroup analysis was performed in patients who responded ‘yes’ to the following International Primary Care Airways Group (IPCAG) question: did you have wheeze and/or at least two of nocturnal cough or chest tightness or dyspnoea in the past year. Sensitivity analyses were carried out on those who answered ‘yes’ to wheeze and at least two of the nocturnal symptoms. The primary outcomes were as follows: duration of cough (0–28 days, minimum clinically important difference [MCID] of 3.79 days) and mean symptom severity score (range 0–6; MCID 1.66 units).ResultsIn total, 40 (10%) patients were included in the main analysis: mean age 49 years (standard deviation [SD] = 17.9), 52% male. Median cough duration was 3 days in both prednisolone (interquartile range [IQR] = 2–6 days) and placebo (IQR = 1–6 days) groups (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.10; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.47 to 2.54; P = 0.83), equating to 0.24 days longer in the prednisolone group (95% CI = 1.23 days shorter to 2.88 days longer). Mean symptom severity difference was –0.14 (95% CI = –0.78 to 0.49; P=0.65) comparing prednisolone with placebo. Similar findings were found in the sensitivity analysis.ConclusionNo evidence was found to support the use of corticosteroids for ALRTI in patients with clinically unrecognised asthma. Clinicians should not use the IPCAG questions to target oral corticosteroid treatment in patients with ALRTI.

Respiratory Protection Equipment (APD) is a set of tools used by workers to protect all or part of their body from the possibility of potential occupational hazards such as ISPA (Upper Respiratory Infection) in Rice Refinery Workers in Dalu X-B Village, Tanjung Morawa Sub-District, Deli Serdang Regency. The number of patients with ARI in 2015 was found to be 452 cases and increased in 2016 by 469 cases. The use of respiratory protective equipment is often considered unimportant or trivial by workers, especially in workers who work in the informal sector. Every worker needs to wear respiratory protective equipment especially workers whose work environment contains a lot of dust so workers must be obliged to use a complete respiratory protective device when doing work because to maintain personal safety and personal health while working.
This research was used analytic survey method by using cross sectional design. Samples were taken as many as 62 workers with sampling techniques using total sampling. This research was carried out in two rice milling industries in the village of Dalu XB, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang District. The data collection was carried out by direct interview using a questionnaire to find out the data of the age of the workers, long work, and education level. Data analysis performed was univariate and bivariate with statistical tests using the Chi Square test with α = 0.05. With the results there was a relationship between the use of respiratory protective equipment with the incidence of acute respiratory infections (ISPA) in Rice Refinery Workers in Dalu X-B Village, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang District in 2017 with pValue (= 0.01) ≤ α (= 0.05).

Imagologiczne badanie etnoobrazu w dzienniku podróży "Przez zakątki Gruzji. W poszukiwaniu skarbu krainy wilków" Ołeksija Bobrownikowa
Authors: Rozinkiewicz Natalia 
Published: November 2020

W artykule przedstawiono twórczość oraz sylwetkę współczesnego ukraińskiego pisarza Ołeksija Bobrownykowa jako przedstawiciela prozy wędrownej. Omówiono podstawowe narzędzia autorskiej kreacji literackiego etnoobrazu Gruzinów, jaki wyłania się z dziennika podróży Przez zakątki Gruzji. W poszukiwaniu skarbu krainy wilków. Pisarz przy pomocy takich chwytów, jak kontrast, aluzja, retrospekcja, zdołał odtworzyć typowe cechy (historyczne, geograficzne, krajobrazowe, etnograficzne, kulturalne, bytowe, moralne i inne) kaukaskiej krainy. Pozwoliło to we współczesnej ukraińskiej prozie wędrownej oddać wyobrażenie o całym narodzie jako „innym” środowisku kulturowym, odmiennym od ukraińskiego.
Utwory tego typu, jak analizowany tu dziennik, sprzyjają komunikacji międzykulturowej i jednocześnie są cenne dla wzajemnego poznania się przez narody, ponieważ w pole widzenia podróżnika trafiają cechy etnicznej psychologii i charakteru. Jest to bodziec dla zrozumienia procesu formowania się świadomości indywidualnej i zbiorowej oraz tożsamości, a jednocześnie – procesu tworzenia się wielkich mitów o innychludach i narodach.

Displaced Femoral Neck Stress Fracture in a 7-year-old Child: A Case Report
Authors: Massaad Raymond , El Orra Said , Dabbous Mohammed , Ibrahim Ali , Massaad Antonella 
Published: November 2020

Background: Stress fracture of the femoral neck is rare in children. Its differential diagnosis includes muscle strain, synovitis, infection, dysplasia, etc. Since physicians rarely see this type of fracture in children, they often overlook it or misdiagnose it.

Case Report: A seven-year-old girl presented to our service with right groin pain following a fall on her right hip 15 days ago. Pelvic and knee radiographs of her right limb showed a fracture line with sclerosis at the femoral neck. Magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the diagnosis of a stress fracture of the femoral neck. We opted for conservative management and gave the patient analgesics and limited weight-bearing with the help of crutches for eight weeks. Three weeks after her first visit, the patient presented with severe limping and inability to bear weight on her right leg. Right hip radiographic imaging showed a varus displaced fracture of the femoral neck, which we managed surgically with an open reduction and internal fixation using plate and screws, followed by immobilization of the right hip with a hip spica cast. Six weeks following the surgery, the patient had no complaints, and the radiographic images showed an appropriate reduction and signs of union. The patient was allowed to start partial weight-bearing for a further six weeks before proceeding to full weight-bearing.

Conclusion: Our case emphasizes the importance of considering femoral neck stress fracture in children, through a thorough clinical evaluation and imaging analysis, especially for those carrying classical risk factors. Failure to do so can complicate the disease course and may lead to a displaced fracture requiring more invasive and timely management.
A Unified Accreting Magnetar Model for Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts and Some Stripped-envelope Supernovae
Authors: Lin W. L. , Wang X. F. , Wang L. J. , Dai Z. G. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Both the long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) and the Type I superluminous supernovae (SLSNe I) have been proposed to be primarily powered by central magnetars. A correlation, proposed between the initial spin period (P
0) and the surface magnetic field (B) of the magnetars powering the X-ray plateaus in LGRB afterglows, indicates a possibility that the magnetars have reached an equilibrium spin period due to the fallback accretion. The corresponding accretion rates are inferred as

M
⊙ s−1, and this result holds for the cases of both isotropic and collimated magnetar wind. For the SLSNe I and a fraction of engine-powered normal Type Ic supernovae (SNe Ic) and the broad-lined subclass (SNe Ic-BL), the magnetars could also reach an accretion-induced spin equilibrium, but the corresponding

distribution suggests a different accretion rate range, i.e.,

M
⊙ s−1. Considering the effect of fallback accretion, magnetars with relatively weak fields are responsible for the SLSNe I, while those with stronger magnetic fields could power SNe Ic/Ic-BL. Some SLSNe I in our sample could arise from compact progenitor stars, while others that require longer-term accretion may originate from the progenitor stars with more extended envelopes or circumstellar medium.
Gouvernance d'entreprise : quarante ans d'évolution
Authors: Darcillon Thibault , Rebérioux Antoine 
Published: November 2020

Cet article retrace les évolutions de la gouvernance d'entreprise, en Europe et aux États-Unis, à partir de la fin des années 1970 jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Le mouvement de libéralisation et de globalisation financière s'accompagne d'une montée en puissance des fonds d'investissement dans le capital des grandes entreprises cotées, au cours des années 1980 et 1990. Parallèlement, des réformes juridiques sont entreprises, visant à accroître les droits de ces actionnaires minoritaires. Il s'ensuit une évolution significative des pratiques de gouvernance (composition des conseils d'administration, rémunération des dirigeants, distribution du profit, etc.). Dans les années 2000, on assiste à un infléchissement, au profit d'une gouvernance moins centrée sur le retour sur investissements des actionnaires minoritaires. On observe ainsi la multiplication de règles visant à limiter les effets court-termistes d'une certaine finance de marché, et à mieux inscrire les entreprises dans le temps long du développement durable.

Some local maximum principles along Ricci flows
Authors: Lee Man-Chun , Tam Luen-Fai 
Published: November 2020

AbstractIn this work, we obtain a local maximum principle along the Ricci flow
$g(t)$
under the condition that

$\mathrm {Ric}(g(t))\le {\alpha } t^{-1}$
for

$t>0$
for some constant

${\alpha }>0$
. As an application, we will prove that under this condition, various kinds of curvatures will still be nonnegative for

$t>0$
, provided they are non-negative initially. These extend the corresponding known results for Ricci flows on compact manifolds or on complete noncompact manifolds with bounded curvature. By combining the above maximum principle with the Dirichlet heat kernel estimates, we also give a more direct proof of Hochard’s [15] localized version of a maximum principle by Bamler et al. [1] on the lower bound of different kinds of curvatures along the Ricci flows for

$t>0$

Abstract
Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of apple pomace and mango peels powder supplemented cookies on postprandial glucose and insulin concentration to promote nutraceutical snacks between the meals.
Methods: This single subject experimental study was conducted during Feb-Aug 2018 at Nutrition Counseling Center, GCWUF. In this study different cookies with apple pomace and mango peels powder were prepared and the most nutritive acceptable cookies were further used to determine their postprandial effect on glucose and insulin concentrations against the control cookies in female subjects. Thirty females were selected through advertisement having age 25±10 years with normal BMI (19-24.9) while the subjects having obesity, diabetes, hypertension or allergic reaction to any of content were excluded from this study. A written informed consent was obtained from all subjects. The data obtained was analyzed statistically to know the significant difference between the means.
Results: The results showed that cookies supplemented with up to 15% of either mango peels or apple pomace powders were acceptable, which were further used for bio-evaluation. The human study showed that overall blood glucose and insulin concentrations were significantly lower in the treatment group specially in group with mango peels enriched cookies (103.53±2.44 mg/dL; 130.48±12.52 mg/dL) as compared to control group receiving white flour based cookies (145.00±1.15 mg/dL; 186.47±26.47 mg/dL).
Conclusion: On the basis of the study it can be concluded that fruit processing waste can be used as nutraceutical agent in diet based modules and thus promoting healthy snacking which maintains postprandial

The objectives of this research were to study the knowledge on COVID-19 infection, satisfaction of the measures on disease prevention and control, and the association between factors and COVID-19 prevention behaviors among health sciences students. Content validity and reliability of research tools were measured. Ethical for human study was approved by Research Ethic Committee. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect the data of 184 health sciences students in April, 2020. First, a proportion by curriculum and year of study was made. Then, simple random sampling was created based on student identification. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests. The results found that participants had correct answer for COVID-19 infection (70.65 - 99.46 %) and had a good knowledge level on COVID-19 infection (90.22 %). Their satisfaction of the institute’s measures on COVID-19 prevention and control was at High level (50.54 %). COVID-19 prevention behavior among participants was at moderate level (51.63 %). Age, year level, payment per week, and satisfaction level of their organization’s measures on COVID-19 prevention and control were closely associated with COVID-19 prevention behavior (p - value < 0.05). These results could be used as guidelines to arrange additional activities for students in lower age and integrate health concern into the curriculum in early year of study. For further study, satisfaction theory can be applied to encourage students to have positive behaviors.

Published: November 2020

This study was aimed to determine antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibition effects of the pod of Raphanus sativus L. var. caudatus Alef extract. The compounds consisted in the extracts were identified by HPLC from standard peak comparison. Pod was extracted by using 2 different solvents-dichloromethane (DCM) and water. The antioxidant activity was evaluated based on free radical scavenging (DPPH) activity and ferric reducing ability (FRAP) assay. The lightening effect was determined from the inhibition of mushroom tyrosinase in vitro. The results showed that DCM extract contained sulforaphene, protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid. The aqueous extract contained sulforaphene, protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, and p-coumaric acid. The DPPH· scavenging effect expressed as the IC50 values for DCM and aqueous extracts were 883.38 ± 22.9 and 1,160.49 ± 22.30 µg/mL, respectively. The reducing power of aqueous extract (218.27 ± 0.010 µM FeSO4 equivalent) was greater than DCM extract (166.34 ± 0.018 µM FeSO4 equivalent) at the same concentration (2,000 µg/mL). However, both extracts showed lesser antioxidant activity than gallic acid, a positive control. DCM extract showed higher tyrosinase inhibitory effect than aqueous extract but lesser than kojic acid, a positive control. Both extracts at 2,000 µg/mL concentration exerted 42 and 19 % tyrosinase inhibition, respectively. In conclusion, the extraction solvent yielded different chemical constituents and thus the activities. The DCM extract exerted greater antioxidant activity and tyrosinase inhibition activity than the aqueous extract. The extract fractionation is required to get higher yields of bioactive compounds prior to further study and for cosmetics product development.
