Published: November 2024

The basis for the pathogenesis of cardiovascular, cancer, metabolic diseases, low-grade chronic inflammation (LGCI) and many other disorders is an imbalance between prooxidants and the antioxidant defense system. It is believed that the link between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is based on oxidative stress (OS), increased autonomic nervous system activity, glucocorticoid synthesis activation, or immunological dysregulation. Moreover, pathophysiological changes in the systemic LGCI pathways that result from modifications in glucocorticoid receptor reactivity (secondary to emotional and physiological arousal) may be the basis for inappropriate social behavior consistent with PTSD and MetS manifestations. Recently, evidence has emerged suggesting that a combination of high levels of systemic OS and activation of LGCI plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PTSD. On the other hand, PTSD is a type of recurrent and long-term trauma that exacerbates OS and accele­rates cellular aging. LGCI is accompanied by the release of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, proinflammatory cytokines, and other biologically active substances that cause OS. The purpose of this review was to discuss the role of individual antioxidants, in particular polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, N-acetylcysteine, melatonin, L-arginine, C and E vitamins, zinc, copper, and selenium, in the prevention/treatment of comorbid pathology of PTSD and MetS, as well as to analyze new trends and directions for future research. The search was conducted in Scopus, Science Direct (from Else­vier) and PubMed, including MEDLINE databases. The keywords used were “post-traumatic stress disorder,” “metabolic syndrome,” and “antioxidants.” To identify research results that could not be found during the online search, a manual search of the bibliography of publications was used.
The knowledge gaps in social media marketing for the agriculture industry
Authors: Chiu Yu-Wen 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
By applying the PZB gap theorem and its extension of knowledge gap model, this study explores the gaps between the knowledge capabilities needed for social media marketing and what agricultural organizations such as cooperatives or family farms have done from the strategic perception aspect, planning aspect to implementation aspect. This study employs a case study approach combined with a structured questionnaire distributed to top agricultural organizations in Taiwan, focusing on social media marketing within the knowledge management framework. The results of empirical analysis exhibit two gaps significantly impact the corporate performance, namely: the gap between the obtained knowledge capabilities after implementing the social media marketing plan and the actually required ones for the enhancement of corporate competitiveness in social media marketing; the gap between the knowledge capabilities for enhancing corporate competitiveness in social media marketing perceived by senior managers and perceived by employees. Based on the findings, this study suggest the agricultural organizations could try to improve by reducing these two gaps of implementation aspect to improve their performance. Finally, the in-depth interviews with two agricultural organizations could establish a practical understanding of the relationship between these empirical findings and business practices.

Published: November 2024

Our country is celebrating 75th year of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsava and our Government is very much focused on how to double the farmer’s income, it is the utmost duty of every researcher, educationist and agriculture scientist to explore the ways and means to achieve this target. The cultivation of oyster mushrooms has the potential to significantly increase the income of farmers. Oyster mushrooms are easy to grow, require minimal resources, and have a high market demand. By cultivating oyster mushrooms, farmers can diversify their income streams and increase their profits. This abstract suggests that oyster mushroom cultivation could be a viable option for farmers looking to double their income. Indian economy is primarily agriculture based and where the average income from Agriculture Sector ha-1 is very less in comparison to the other developed nations of the world. This is a call of time to enhance the farmer’s income so they can live their lives in a lucrative manner. Present objective cannot be achieved merely by enhancing the price of the different agricultural produce which the farmers grow on their farm lands, but we should include certain other practical implications to increase the existing productivity level of different agricultural and allied ventures by diversifying farm enterprises. Mushroom culture is one of such enterprises with particular reference to oyster mushroom which has the vast potential to double the existing income level of farmers and this enterprise can easily be adopted by any category of farmers even having marginal landholding.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Nowadays, the public roads are getting more congested than ever, with the increase of vehicle numbers. As such, the necessity of improving the traffic flow, while maintaining the passengers comfort is paramount. In this context, a vehicle platoon, defined as a group of different vehicles, which travel with the same velocity and maintain a prescribed inter-vehicle distance, is considered by the control community as an accepted control solution for efficient traveling. This work provides a selfish coalitional control algorithm suitable for a vehicle platooning application, which is a particular case of a networked system composed of multiple sub-systems (or vehicles), which share information via a communication network. The main idea behind the coalitional control is to design a dynamic communication network, in which the communication links between the agents (which control each vehicle) are enabled or disabled, according to the selected communication topology. Moreover, a selfish approach is envisioned, in which each agent is allowed to switch between the communication topologies and to choose its own, most beneficial one, while ensuring the optimality of the entire vehicle platoon. The control algorithm was tested in simulation, on a five vehicle, heterogeneous platoon, and the results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
Comparative Study for Path Planning Based on the Decomposition of a Co-Safe LTL Specification
Authors: Hustiu Ioana 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper is presenting a comparison between two different methods for decomposing a co-safe LTL global specification that must be accomplished by a team of mobile agents by combining our previous work. Both decomposition algorithms are aiming to break the global mission into independent tasks such that synchronizations between members of the robotic team are not required and the sub-formulas obtained can be accomplished by a single agent. Once the split of the LTL formula is performed, trajectories are projected based on an allocation of tasks to robots, which requires two steps. First time, a cost matrix is computed, followed by the calculation of a binary allocation matrix. The latest will dictate which task, or tasks, will be executed by each mobile robot. The comparison is taking into consideration the variation of the size of the robotic team and the complexity of the global LTL mission, while proposed scenarios and simulations are highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each decomposition method. The quantitative analysis is involving two criteria: a time related one and a trajectory related one.
Studies on the Influence of Methane Gas Bubbling of Metal Alloys on the Casting Properties
Authors: Stoian Elena Valentina , Enescu Cristiana Maria , Petre Ivona Camelia 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The purpose of using bubbling in the case of metal alloys was to increase the mechanical resistance, to improve the casting properties as well as to observe the changes brought by gases on the structure. During bubbling, especially hydrogen and oxygen are removed, which obviously leads to the improvement of metal alloys. The influence of bubbling on the casting properties is explained by the structural changes that occur in the cast alloys. Therefore, bubbling with methane gas is a safe means of improving the quality of cast parts, ensuring at the same time the increase of casting properties of alloys.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
In the here presented research, we investigate Wolfe and Mond-Weir duality models applied to a specific category of generalized convex functions known as p-invex functions. We establish various dualities between the primal MPVC and its Wolfe type dual, as well as between the primal MPVC (mathematical program with vanishing constraints) and its Mond-Weir type dual under p- invexity assumptions. To illustrate these theorems, we will include some examples.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of selected adverse events and their characteristics in hospital wards with varying specialties at a Level II referral hospital in Kraków.

Material and methods. The research was conducted at the Józef Dietl Specialist Hospital in Kraków on a group of 1272 patients who experienced an adverse event between 2013 and 2020. In order to answer the research questions, a retrospective analysis of the available medical records was performed in 2022 and statistical analyses were performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics package version 29.

Results. The most frequent adverse events included falls, pressure sores and patient absconding. There were no statistically signifi cant diff erences in the age of patients experiencing adverse events. Women were more likely to experience falls without injury and the formation of pressure sores, while men were more likely to abscond from hospital. Higher BMI was observed in patients experiencing falls without injury.

Conclusions. The risk of falls, both with and without injury, is a serious problem in hospitals. Although less common than falls, pressure sores are associated with longer hospitalisation and more frequently affect women. Seasonality and time of the day affect the type and frequency of adverse events. Differences between wards may indicate specific challenges related to the nature of patients.

Published: November 2024

Objectives:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in an increased need for molecular diagnostic testing. Delay in the specimen processing and storage of samples in laboratories leads to degradation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral RNA. Inactivation transport medium (ITM) contains chaotropic agents that inactivate the virus and stabilize SARS-CoV-2 RNA for a longer duration, even at room temperature. The effect of different temperatures and duration of storage of samples in viral transport media (VTM) and ITM for detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA was assessed.

Materials and Methods:
Samples from COVID-19 patients were aliquoted in ITM and VTM and kept at ambient temperature, 37°C and 45°C. SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA was extracted. Multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction was done on days 0, 1, 3, and 5, and cycle threshold (Ct) values were noted.

Statistical Analysis:
Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26.0. Linear variables were summarized as mean and standard deviations. One-way analysis of variance test with post hoc Tukey honestly significant difference was used to compare mean value between different loops and for pair-wise comparison. P < 0.05 was taken as significant.

Results:
The mean Ct values of both the Orf and E genes of the samples in VTM and ITM were stable across all temperature conditions on day 1. On day 5, the increase in Ct values for both E and Orf genes were significantly higher for VTM than ITM at ambient temperature, 37°C and 45°C. Ribonuclease P failure was significantly higher for VTM than ITM at ambient temperature and 37°C on day 3 and at all temperatures on day 5.

Conclusions:
ITM is a valuable transport media that can preserve SARS-CoV-2 for up to 5 days at ambient temperature and 37°C. As it renders the samples non-infectious, thus reducing the potential of biohazard events, this transport medium can be used effectively for the collection and transportation of SARS-CoV-2 samples, especially from remote or isolated healthcare facilities.
