: Bleeding on probing (BOP) is the best documented parameter in the monitoring of periodontal health and inﬂammation of the gingival tissues. It is measured as bleeding provoked by applying a probe to the bottom of a sulcus/pocket. Since BoP may be provoked by trauma to the tissues using a periodontal probe hence, probing pressure can be considered as an important factor in the assessment of bleeding on probing. The purpose of the study was to evaluate bleeding on probing by conventional probe and pressure sensitive probe. : 50 subjects (1400 sites) in this split mouth study were evaluated for bleeding on probing by using a conventional periodontal probe and a manual pressure sensitive probe. Gingival Bleeding Index (Ainamo and Bay 1975) was used in the study for assessment of BOP. : More bleeding sites were found in the quadrant associated with the conventional probe as compared to the sites associated with pressure sensitive probe. : Amount of pressure applied during probing can be a significant factor in assessment the periodontal disease activity.

Актуальность. В 1903 г. Ф.У. Тейлор писал, что причиной низкой производительности труда являются мысли и рассуждения, обусловленные общественными отношениями между предпринимателями и рабочими, и считал, что при условии их сотрудничества, взаимной помощи производительность последних может быть увеличена в среднем почти вдвое [1]. Проблема, сформулированная Ф.У. Тейлором, и поставленный им вопрос «Какие иные реформы… могут дать столько в направлении повышения благосостояния, уменьшения нищеты и облегчения страданий?» уже более ста лет оказывают мощное влияние на содержание исследовательских программ в области менеджмента. Однако многие из намеченных Ф.У. Тейлором задач все еще далеки от своего решения. Период социально-экономической нестабильности, вновь переживаемый страной в настоящее время, усиливает потребность в инструментах, активизирующих способность и готовность сотрудников выполнять возложенные на них задачи в условиях динамично изменяющейся внешней и внутренней среды. Цель исследования: проанализировать изменение представлений о роли социальности в системе знаний, требующее формирования новых подходов в управлении человеческими ресурсами. Методы: сравнение, обобщение и систематизация, в работе также используется аксиологический подход, предполагающий ценностное измерение исследуемых социокультурных явлений. Результаты: представлена система аргументов, свидетельствующих об усилении роли доверия как в организации общественной жизни в целом, так и в деятельности организации в частности. Показано, что «доверие» способствует упорядочению социальных взаимодействий в условиях трансформационных изменений (нарастания неопределенности и рисков в деятельности компании), когда снижаются возможности «уверенности» и «веры» как механизмов организации социальной жизни. Возрастанию роли фактора «доверие» также способствуют разделение труда, делегирование полномочий, сложность и «непрозрачность» организационных и технических систем. Вывод: более существенную роль начинает играть фактор «доверие» в функционировании системы управления организацией.

Background: Productivity of cowpea in our country is very low. So, there is need to take proper agronomic practices to enhance the productivity of cowpea and foremost important among them is foliar application of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients exploiting genetic potential of crop. This is considered to be an efficient and economic method of supplementing part of nutrient requirement at critical growth stages of the crop. Foliar application is credited with the advantage of quick and efficient utilization of nutrients, elimination of losses through leaching, fixation and regulating uptake of nutrients by the plant. In view of above consideration, the experiment entitled “Influence of foliar application of different organic sources on growth, yield and quality of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) under varying levels of fertilizer” was conducted with objectives to study the effect of different levels of fertilizer on growth, yield and quality of cowpea, to study the effect of foliar application of different organic sources on growth, yield and quality of cowpea, to study the interaction effect of different levels of fertilizer and foliar application of organic sources and to study the economics of different treatments. Methods: The field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri (M.S.) during Rabi 2019-20. Field experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design. The fertilizer levels comprised of three levels viz., F1: 100% RDF, F2: 75% RDF and F3: 50% RDF and foliar application consisted of five different organic sources viz., S0: Control, S1: Panchagavya @ 3%, S2: Vermiwash @ 10%, S3: Cow urine @ 5% and S4: Vasant urja @ 0.5%. There were 15 treatment combinations replicated three times. Result: It can be concluded that for growing cowpea, it should be supplied with 100% RDF and sprayed with panchagavya @ 3% or cow urine @ 5% foliar application, so as to obtain higher yield and economic returns.

Published: October 2021

Background: Collar rot is an important disease of lentil in India and causes significant yield loss annually. Considering the recent focus on the development and use of environmentally feasible management strategies, the objectives of the study was to identify resistant sources and evaluation of native antagonists as well as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) in yield improvement and disease management of lentil. Methods: Eleven popular lentil varieties were screened for resistance/susceptibility reaction against collar rot in vivo. The efficacy of two bacterial and fungal biocontrol agents (BCAs) was tested against a virulent isolate of Sclerotium rolfsii. Four PGPRs were also evaluated to study their influence on the growth parameters as well as their ability to manage S. rolfsii. Result: Three genotypes were found to be tolerant, four genotypes were moderately susceptible, while four genotypes were highly susceptible. Among the BCAs, the highest average inhibition % was observed in treatment with Bacillus sp. Among the PGPR treatments, Rhizobium in combination with phosphate solubilizing bacteria and Trichoderma or Bacillus was the most effective in controlling the collar rot when used as seed treatment and hence can be used for disease management.

Background: The cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae), a plant lice known to commonly attack plants that causes loss by sucking sap from phloem and act as vector for viruses. The aphidophagous coccinellids are efficient in controlling the pestiferous population of aphids. The two coccinellid Coccinella septempunctata and Cheilomenes sexmaculata are efficient in predation of cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora in southern Rajasthan. The present study determined the response of prey consumption at different prey densities. Methods: To compute the functional and numeric response of the lady bird beetle on cowpea aphid, experiment was conducted in vitro by using cowpea potted plant in caged conditions at Department of Entomology, Rajasthan College of Agriculture during 2019-20. The cowpea pea plants were sown in small pots and were placed in aluminium insect cages having 15 cm × 15 cm × 15 cm size. The predatory potential of coccinellid grubs and adults were evaluated at six different prey densities (aphids per arena): 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 200 with 5 replications. Result: The grub and adults of C. septempunctata consumed more prey as compared to C. sexmaculata. Both the coccinellid showed Type II functional response when functional curve was plotted. The linear regression method suggested that C. septempunctata required less time to act upon prey as compared to C. sexmaculata. The C. septempunctata also showed more numeric response in terms of ECI [conversion efficiency of prey consumption (ECI) into biomass (egg)] at different prey densities. The fecundity in both the cases increased with the increased prey densities that eventually decreased after reaching the maximum egg laying capacity at prey density of 125 aphids. In all the cases it was found that consumption rate of predaceous beetle increased with increasing aphid population.

Introdução: as disfunções sexuais masculinas são alterações no funcionamento do sistema genital masculino, ocasionando déficits funcionais. Entre as disfunções mais comuns, estão: a disfunção erétil (DE), que é definida como uma incompetência persistente de dar início e manter uma ereção satisfatória, a qual permita ter um desempenho sexual suficiente; e a ejaculação precoce (EP), que é detalhada como a dificuldade de reter a ejaculação, e/ou mantê-la por mais de um minuto durante a penetração ou diante de outra forma de estimulação sexual. Em detrimento aos problemas de disfunções sexuais, os homens têm buscado alternativas para amenizar os sintomas, fazendo uso de drogas lícitas e ilícitas, acarretando prejuízos à saúde, levando a um quadro de drogadição, toxicodependência e até ao óbito. Pensando nessa perspectiva, a atuação da fisioterapia frente a essas disfunções se faz extremamente necessária a fim de reestabelecer o quadro funcional dos homens de forma segura e eficiente, priorizando um atendimento não medicamentoso e convencional. Objetivo: desse artigo é compreender a atuação fisioterapêutica nas disfunções sexuais masculinas. Método: Nesse trabalho, é uma revisão integrativa em que se aplicaram os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS), tais como: “sexual dysfunction”, “men”, “physical therapy”, limitando-se aos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, aos estudos com seres humanos, aos temas em conformidade a esse trabalho e aos textos na íntegra, com restrições temporais de 2010 a 2020, para os artigos, e tendo suas consultas realizadas nas bases de dados: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO, 2 artigos), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline, 307 artigos/PubMed, 243 artigos), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS, 7 artigos), Biblioteca Virtual em Ciências da Saúde (BVS, 320 artigos). Resultados: Se mostraram positivos e eficientes, pois, a atuação da fisioterapia frente a essas disfunções apresenta efeitos promissores no reestabelecimento do quadro funcional desses pacientes. Discussão: O uso da cinesioterapia, eletroterapia, vacuoterapia e terapias por ondas de choque de baixa intensidade têm se mostrado eficazes na melhora da ejaculação precoce e disfunção erétil. Conclusão: É notório observar que a atuação da fisioterapia na saúde pélvica é eficiente e eficaz, pois, através de anamnese, exame físico, testes e escalas funcionais, avaliará o paciente de forma individual e empática, a fim de utilizar os recursos próprios e indicados para cada paciente, visando fortalecer os músculos do assoalho pélvico e melhorar o fluxo peniano, aprimorando o desempenho sexual satisfatório e devolvendo qualidade de vida, autoestima e saúde biopsicossocial para os pacientes e a família.

BECOMING A MOTHER: THE TRANSITION TO MOTHERHOOD IN CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE’S ZIKORA
Authors: Roifah Miftahur 
Published: October 2021

In patriarchal society, motherhood is viewed as a responsibility for women although not all are willing or able to carry it on. To become a mother, a woman has to experience a challenging phase in life and ready to sacrifice everything they have. Feminist critics see motherhood as a complex issue operating patriarchal institution that regulates, dominates, and oppresses women. What is more, some women are not ready with the consequences during the transition to motherhood and bear the status of becoming a mother that often results in having a hard time. To bring this issue into discussion, this study is going to explore the crises that Zikora has to undergo in her transition to become a mother. Zikora is the protagonist in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's short story, Zikora. In analyzing the issue, this study applies the theory of motherhood by Andrienne Rich and uses a qualitative approach with a close reading method. The result of the study shows that motherhood brings women to a new world full of challenges. Motherhood requires not only physical strenght but also mental strenght and self control so that whatever the crises are, women can bear them and overcome the obstacles they are facing.

Published: October 2021

Abstract
Background: The goal of this study was to investigate whether pregnancy complications are associated with an increased risk of uterine rupture (UR) and how that risk changes with gestational age. Methods: We obtained all data from China’s National Maternal Near Miss Surveillance System (NMNMSS) between 2012 and 2018. Poisson regression analysis was used to assess the risk of UR with pregnancy complications (preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, placental abruption, placenta previa and placenta percreta) among 9,454,239 pregnant women. Furthermore, we analysed the risks of UR with pregnancy complications in different gestational age groups. Results: Compared with women without pregnancy complications, those with different complications (except for preeclampsia) had a 1- to 3-fold greater risk of UR. These associations also persisted in women without a previous caesarean delivery. Moreover, an increased risk of UR before term birth was observed among women with gestational diabetes mellitus, placental abruption and placenta percreta. A large for gestational age (LGA) foetus increased the risk of UR in women with gestational diabetes mellitus, especially at 32 to 36 weeks gestation. Conclusions: Better quality antenatal care and early intervention for women with these pregnancy complications are needed to minimize the incidence of UR.

Published: October 2021

Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is worldwide the third leading cause of cancer-related death, and despite therapeutic advances, survival remains low. Emerging evidence shows that Homeobox (HOX) genes are important in carcinogenesis, and their dysregulation has been linked with metastatic potential and poor prognosis. This systematic review aims to present the current evidence on the role of HOX genes as biomarkers in CRC and the impact of their modulation in tumour growth and progression. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane databases were searched by following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement. Eligible studies investigated two research questions: a) the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of HOX gene dysregulation in patients with CRC and b) the functional role of HOX genes in CRC progression. This study was registered in the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO), CRD42020190953. Results: Twenty-five studies enrolling 3003 patients with stage I-IV CRC, showed that 26 out of 39 HOX genes were dysregulated in cancerous versus normal colon. Aberrant expression of HOX proteins was significantly related to tumour depth, nodal invasion, distant metastases, advanced stage and poor prognosis. Twenty-two preclinical studies showed that HOX proteins are crucially related to tumour growth and metastatic potential by affecting cell proliferation and altering the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition modulators. Conclusions: In conclusion, our findings suggest that HOX proteins play vital roles in CRC progression and significantly affect survival. Further research, though, is required to elucidate their potential role as biomarkers in CRC.

Abstract
Object To analyze the correlation between gut microbiota (GM) and hyperandrogenemia, insulin resistance, carbohydrate metabolism, and explore whether the pathogenesis of idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is consistent based on GM. Methods In this study, we have recruited 27 ICPP (ICPP group) and 23 healthy children (healthy group), and collected the blood and fecal samples from the participants. Blood samples were tested for hormones, including the follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, prolactin, and testosterone. DNA was extracted from fecal samples, and amplified and sequenced with 16S rDNA V3-V4 region. Finally, we annotated the sequencing results, counted the differences in hormone indicators and GM composition between the two groups, and analyzed the correlation with clinical indicators. At the same time, we reviewed the literature on GM and PCOS.Results Compared with the healthy group, the ICPP group exhibited significantly higher levels of the hormone and other indicators (P < 0.05). At the phylum level, the ICPP group showed significantly enriched Proteobacteria than the healthy group (4.85% vs 2.92%). At the genus level, the abundances of Roseburia and Prevotella were significantly higher in the ICPP group than those in the healthy group (7.55% vs 2.01%, 3.95% vs 0.19%), but Bacteroides were obviously decreased in the ICPP group (29.96% vs 44.91%). In addition, the potential associations underlying the sex hormonal secretion and the carbohydrate metabolism pathways of GM increased significantly in the ICPP group. Conclusion The alternations of GM in ICPP patients are closely related to carbohydrate metabolism, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance, indicating similar pathogenesis with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Published: October 2021

Abstract
Due to the influence of human regulation and storage factors, the runoff series monitored at the hydropower stations often show the characteristics of non-periodicity, which makes runoff prediction simulation difficult. This paper attempts to construct an improved one-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) model for runoff prediction simulation. The improved CNN model consists of two convolution layers and a full connection layer and uses LeakyRelu as the activation function. Based on the historical rainfall and runoff data of the ZheXi reservoir in Hunan Province, this paper uses the improved CNN model to simulate runoff prediction and compares the results with the traditional ANN model and the traditional CNN model. The results show that the improved CNN model is superior to the traditional ANN model and the traditional CNN model. It proves that the improved CNN model is suitable for the non-periodic runoff prediction simulation, and it can avoid the data problems such as gradient disappearance that may occur in the traditional neural network model.

Abstract
Water distribution systems (WDSs) are used to transmit and distribute water resources in cities. Water distribution networks (WDNs) are partitioned into district metered areas (DMAs) by water network partitioning (WNP), which can be used for leak control, pollution monitoring, and pressure optimization in WDS management. In order to overcome the limitations of optimal search range and the decrease of recovery ability caused by two-step WNP and fixed DMAs in previous studies, this study developed a new method combining a graph neural network to realize integrated WNP and dynamic DMAs to optimize WDS management and respond to emergencies. The proposed method was tested in a practical case study; the results showed that good hydraulic performance of the WDN was maintained and that dynamic DMAs demonstrated excellent stability in emergency situations, which proves the effectiveness of the method in WNP.
