Evaluation of Trachelium Cultivars as Cut Flowers
Authors: Liang RongNa , Harbaugh Brent K. 
Published: July 2021

Trachelium caeruleum has been grown in the United States as a cut flower for about a decade. Only two cultivars, 'White Umbrella' and 'Purple Umbrella', were readily available for commercial use before 1997, but nine new cultivars became available in the last few years. Comparative performance trials have been lacking for these cultivars in the United States. This trial evaluated 11 cultivars of Trachelium for cut flower production performance (vegetative and flowering characteristics) and postharvest longevity.

STRATEGI PENGEMBANGAN KONSEP BLUE ECONOMY DALAM PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT DI WILAYAH PESISIR
Authors: Prayuda Rendi 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The development of technology and industrialization in the economy today are two things that contradict the preservation of the world's environment. The concept of sustainable development is one of the efforts to preserve the environment. Indonesia is one of the countries that supports the implementation of the concept of sustainable development, one of the steps being the concept of blue economy. As a maritime country, Indonesia has considerable biodiversity, so the Blue Economy concept is seen as more efficient. because it tries to offer solutions to the challenges of the world economy with a system that tends to be exploitative for patterns of management in the marine and fisheries sector that can currently be recognized as still not optimal. This article uses the concept of blue economy theory with descriptive qualitative research methods. The implementation of the concept of blue economy in community empowerment in coastal areas is carried out by revitalizing sustainable development by using the concept of aquaculture digitalization to support food independence and maritime security through the development of downstream fisheries products that are competitive and innovative to support Indonesia's sustainable national development.
THE NATIONAL INTEREST OF CHINA IN THEIR ECONOMIC COOPERATION WITH THE GAMBIA
Authors: Samba Omar , Jatta Ebrima 
Published: July 2021

This paper aims at finding out the national interest of China in conducting economic cooperation with the Gambia from 2016. Relying on qualitative inquiry, this research is informed by the theoretical concepts from national interest. In terms of national interest, the political aspect of the national interest of Morgenthau and the economic aspect of Donald E. Nuechterlein is used to analyze the national interest of China in the Gambia. To answer the research question: What is China’s national interest in their economic cooperation with the Gambia? The research finds out that China has political and economic interests in the Gambia. Politically, China’s interest in the Gambia is clearly stated in the joint communique signed between China and the Gambia when they were resuming their diplomatic relations in 2016. As a form of this agreement, the Gambia is supporting the One-China principle by not opening official relations with Taiwan. Finally, China retains an economic interest to secure the Gambian market for Chinese products and natural resources for Chinese manufacturing industries. Most importantly, is the port of the Gambia which has a strategic location in the west Africa region and is crucial to the China’s belt and road initiative. China has become one of the major sources of financial support for the Gambia since resuming economic cooperation in 2016. This financial support includes giving loans, grants, aid, and trade. As can be seen from the analysis of the dependency perspective, this research shows that China uses its loans and grants to monopolized the Gambia market for Chinese goods and Chinese investment which likely creates contracts for Chinese companies and provide job opportunities for Chinese citizens.
Keywords: national interest, China, The Gambia, economic cooperation, one-china principle.

Studying the structure, intensity and track of tropical cyclone is very important in effective tropical cyclone warning. In this study, an attempt has been made to simulate the Super Cyclone Amphan to reproduce the structure, intensity and track of the storm that occurred over the Bay of Bengal and made landfall over the coastal zone of Sundarban between Western Bangladesh and Eastern West Bengal of India on 20 May 2020. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model was run 120 hours from 0000 UTC of 16 May to 0000 UTC of 21 May 2021 with 9 km horizontal resolution to simulate the selected storm. The model simulated intensity and track of the storm were compared with that of best track data of India Meteorological Department (IMD). The results obtained from the WRF model indicated that the intensity of the selected cyclone in terms of Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP) and Maximum Sustained Wind speed (MSW) were 905 hPa and 243 kph whereas the observed MSLP and MSW were close to 920 hPa and 241 kph respectively. It was also indicated that the model predicted the track of the cyclone reasonably well and it was quite close to the best track data throughout its path till landfall with very small deviation and the cyclone made landfall at 7-8 hours before the actual landfall with 167.4 km position error.

Although Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can affect all age groups, severity of clinical presentation among children and newborns are milder than in adults. Along with classical symptoms, atypical presentation could be noted in the neonate. We report here a case of neonatal COVID-19 where a newborn infant presented with fever, lethargy, respiratory distress and recurrent seizure. Early detection and prompt management is the prerequisite for limiting transmission and reducing neonatal death rate.

Published: July 2021

Background and ObjectiveGut microbiota dysbiosis following stroke affects the recovery of neurological function. Administration of prebiotics to counteract post-stroke dysbiosis may be a potential therapeutic strategy to improve neurological function. We aim to observe the effect of lactulose on neurological function outcomes, gut microbiota composition, and plasma metabolites in mice after stroke.MethodsMale C57BL/6 mice (20–25 g) were randomly divided into three groups: healthy control, photothrombotic stroke + triple-distilled water, and photothrombotic stroke + lactulose. After 14 consecutive days of lactulose administration, feces, plasma, and organs were collected. 16S rDNA sequencing, plasma untargeted metabolomics, qPCR, flow cytometry and Elisa were performed.ResultsLactulose supplementation significantly improved the functional outcome of stroke, downregulated inflammatory reaction, and increased anti-inflammatory factors in both the brain and gut. In addition, lactulose supplementation repaired intestinal barrier injury, improved gut microbiota dysbiosis, and partially amended metabolic disorder after stroke.ConclusionLactulose promotes functional outcomes after stroke in mice, which may be attributable to repressing harmful bacteria, and metabolic disorder, repairing gut barrier disruption, and reducing inflammatory reactions after stroke.

The reason why most individuals with COVID-19 have relatively limited symptoms while other develop respiratory distress with life-threatening complications remains unknown. Increasing evidence suggests that COVID-19 associated adverse outcomes mainly rely on dysregulated immunity. Here, we compared transcriptomic profiles of blood cells from 103 patients with different severity levels of COVID-19 with that of 27 healthy and 22 influenza-infected individuals. Data provided a complete overview of SARS-CoV-2-induced immune signature, including a dramatic defect in IFN responses, a reduction of toxicity-related molecules in NK cells, an increased degranulation of neutrophils, a dysregulation of T cells, a dramatic increase in B cell function and immunoglobulin production, as well as an important over-expression of genes involved in metabolism and cell cycle in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 compared to those infected with influenza viruses. These features also differed according to COVID-19 severity. Overall and specific gene expression patterns across groups can be visualized on an interactive website (https://bix.unil.ch/covid/). Collectively, these transcriptomic host responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection are discussed in the context of current studies, thereby improving our understanding of COVID-19 pathogenesis and shaping the severity level of COVID-19.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of multiple risk factors (age, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, BMI, smoking, alcohol) on the gray and white matter volumes as well as on the burden of white matter hyperintensities (WMH).Material and Methods: The study group consisted of 554 subjects (age range: 50–69 yrs, F/M: 367/187) recruited from the larger cohort of the Polish fraction of the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study. The participants answered questionnaires about their lifestyle, underwent physical and psychological examination (MoCA test), laboratory blood tests followed by brain MRI. Volumetric measurements of the total gray matter (GMvol), total white matter (WMvol) and WHM (WMHvol) normalized to the total intracranial volume were performed using the Computational Anatomy Toolbox 12 (CAT12) and Statistical Parametric Maps 12 (SPM12) based on 3D T1-weighted sequence. The influence of risk factors was assessed using multiple regression analysis before and after correction for multiple comparisons.Results: Older age was associated with lower GMvol and WMvol, and higher WMHvol (p &lt; 0.001). Smaller GMvol volume was associated with higher WMHvol (p &lt; 0.001). Higher WMHvol was associated with hypertension (p = 0.01) and less significantly with hyperlipidemia (only before correction p = 0.03). Diabetes, abnormal BMI, smoking and alcohol intake did not have any significant impact on GMvol, WMvol or WMHvol (p &gt; 0.05). MoCA score was not influenced by any of the factors.Conclusions: Gray matter loss is strongly associated with the accumulation of WMH which seems to be potentially preventable by maintaining normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

BackgroundCheckpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP) is a potentially fatal immune-related adverse event that occurs during treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, the roles played by peripheral blood parameters in CIP development remain unclear. Here, we aimed to identify which blood biomarkers correlated with the development and prognosis of CIP in patients with lung cancer.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 87 patients with CIP (CIP group) and 87 patients without CIP (control group). Cytokines, blood routine, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and albumin (ALB) were collected at baseline (before ICIs), at onset of pneumonitis (in the CIP group), and before the last dose of ICI (in the control group). We compared the baseline values and changes over time in various blood parameters between the CIP and control groups. The CIP outcomes were collected and compared according to the median values of these parameters.ResultsSquamous carcinoma (odds ratio [OR]: 3.02; p = 0.004) and ICI monotherapy (OR: 6.56; p = 0.004) correlated with a high risk of CIP. In the CIP group, interleukin (IL)-6 and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) at CIP were significantly increased relative to baseline. By contrast, IL-6 and PLR reduced over time in the control group. Significant decrease in absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and increases in IL-10, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and LDH levels were observed from baseline to CIP. No significant change in these parameters was observed in the control group relative to baseline. ALB decreased in both groups, but the decrease in the CIP group was greater (9.21% vs. 2.44%; p = 0.020). High IL-6 levels (OR: 5.23, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15–23.86; p = 0.033), and low levels of ALB (OR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.04–0.64; p = 0.009) measured at the time of CIP symptom onset were associated with severe pneumonitis. Low concentration of IL-6 (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.17, 95% CI: 0.03–0.95; p = 0.044) and high ALB levels (HR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.08–0.94; p = 0.040) were correlated with favorable overall survival in CIP.ConclusionsIncrease in IL-6, IL-10, NLR, PLR, and LDH levels or reduced ALC and ALB levels were associated with the occurrence of CIP in lung cancer patients. High IL-6 and low ALB levels at onset of CIP were related to severe grade and poor prognosis of CIP.
