Abstract
The roots of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) are an excellent source of dietary starch for millions of people and also serve as raw material for several industrial products. Cassava root production, however, is limited by insect, mite and disease pests. Tetranychid mites (Acari; Tetranychidae), until recently considered a minor pest of cassava, have assumed major pest status contributing up to 50 to 80% reduction in root yields, causing severe economic losses. Globally, numerous species of tetranychids have been reported causing damage to cassava. These include Tetranychus urticae Koch (syn = T. cinnabarinus [Poisd.]), T. truncatus Ehara, T. neocaledonicus André, T. kanzawai Kishida, Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar) (syn = M. progresivus Doreste), M. caribbeanae McGregor, Oligonychus biharensis (Hirst), O. gossypii (Zacher), and Eutetranychus orientalis (Klein). Various studies have been undertaken and reported to explore methods (e.g., cultural methods, biological control, botanicals, host plant resistance, conventional chemical insecticides) to mitigate mite damage to cassava and manage their populations. This present work is a review of the pertinent scientific literature on the cassava mite complex, its economic impact, and potential management strategies for the pests.

Background: One of the oldest cultivated legumes, chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.), are essential for world nutrition, especially with climate change. Chickpea output is poor despite rising demand for its nutritional value. Improved genetics can enhance yields to fulfil local and global demands. By selecting better parents and potential hybrids utilising half-diallel mating, breeders can hasten the development of high-yielding, durable cultivars. Methods: This study examined 55 half-diallel mating genotypes, comprising 10 parental lines and 45 F1 hybrids. At the Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology Genetics and Plant Breeding Farm in Ayodhya, U.P., these were evaluated using a randomised block design with three replications under late-sown circumstances in 2022-23 rabi. Normal agricultural procedures were used. A four-meter row of each genotype was planted with 30 cm between rows and 10 cm between plants. Genetic indices like GCV, PCV, heritability, genetic progress, correlation coefficient and path analysis were evaluated. Result: ANOVA revealed significant genetic variability across all traits. Biological yield plant-1 had the highest PCV and GCV, followed by seed yield plant-1. Heritability and genetic progress were highest for days to 50% flowering and biological yield plant-1, indicating strong genetic control. Days to 50% flowering and maturity inversely linked with most yield-related characteristics. Seed yield was closely associated with primary and secondary branches plant-1, plant height, pods per plant, seeds pod-1, 100-seed weight and biological yield. Path coefficient study showed that all characteristics except days to 50% flowering, days to maturity and plant height influenced grain yield.

Published: November 2024

The spatial characteristics of rainfall in Nusa Tenggara Timu for the periods 1961-1990 and 1991-2020 show similarities in terms of topography influencing local variations in rainfall intensity. Additionally, inland areas and the northern side of region experience higher rainfall compared to the coastal areas and the southern side. On the other hand, temporal characteristics reveal a monsoonal rainfall pattern with peak precipitation occurring in January and the lowest rainfall in August. Furthermore, there is a normal shift in rainfall patterns between the two periods, marked by a reduction in the intensity of dark colors in the 1991-2020 period compared to 1961-1990. There is also a positive shift in normal rainfall values for the months of April and December, while the remaining months experience a negative shift.

Published: November 2024

Background:
Intra-articular metastatic disease is a rare and unique manifestation of cancer metastasis, often originating from primary tumors such as lung adenocarcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. The clinical symptoms frequently mimic chronic inflammatory arthritis, complicating diagnosis and treatment. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the incidence, clinical presentation, management strategies, and outcomes for patients with primary diagnosed cancers that metastasize to intra-articular locations, underscoring the specialized nature of this field.

Methods:
We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Medline, and Embase databases in July 2024, yielding 239 articles on intra-articular metastasis in cancer patients. Twenty-one studies met the inclusion criteria after screening. Five reviewers abstracted and analyzed data on patient demographics, metastatic details, diagnostic evidence, treatment modalities, and outcomes.

Results:
The search yielded 239 articles, from which 21 studies met the inclusion criteria. The patient cohort is 24 cases with a mean age of 58.8 years. Of the 24 patients included, 18 (75%) were males and 6 (25%) were females. Colorectal carcinoma was the most frequent primary tumor (33.3%), followed by lung cancer (25%). The knees were predominantly affected by the metastases. Diagnostic modalities varied; magnetic resonance imaging, arthrocentesis, and biopsy were the most commonly used procedures. Treatment approaches were again varied and included chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery in some instances.

Conclusion:
Intra-articular metastases, though rare, present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The clinical manifestations often mimic inflammatory arthritis, complicating timely diagnosis. As underscored by this study, effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach tailored to the patient's primary cancer type and overall health status. This highlights the complexity of the disease and the need for collaborative care. Future research should focus on increasing awareness and early detection to improve patient outcomes.
Exploring platformic torque in secondhand market platform work

Published: November 2024

Abstract

In this paper, we present an ethnography of US-based online fashion ‘reselling’, an understudied kind of gig work where individuals ‘resell’ or ‘flip’ mostly secondhand clothing in online marketplace platforms. We situate this kind of gig work as distinct from gig work models like ridesharing where labor is offered for trade through platforms: instead, in online fashion ‘reselling’, objects are sold through the platform, with resellers’ labor articulated around this action. Using Poshmark as an example, we characterize the platform’s mediation of gig workers’ labor in the larger context of US precarized labor landscape and the fashion consumption culture. We offer the framework of platformic torque as an extension of the information studies’ concept of ‘torque’ and the CSCW concept of ‘platformic management’ to foreground the intersectional experiences of platformic mediation in this kind of gig work. We shed light on the idiosyncratic sociotechnical apparatus that enables and constrains the worker’s agencies in feminized, racialized, aspirational and temporally fractured ways. Through detailed analysis of Poshmark’s sociotechnical mechanisms and thick ethnographic narratives we describe three kinds of ‘platformic torque’: aesthetic, temporal and regulatory.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
There is limited evidence on the risks of second primary malignancies (SPMs) among patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), particularly in relation to racial disparities. We aim to examine racial and ethnic disparities in the risk and temporal patterns of SPMs among DTC survivors in the U.S.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study, grounded in population-based data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program, focused on DTC patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2015. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) and 95% confidence intervals were employed to estimate high-risk sites for SPMs among different races. The competing risks model was applied to assess SPM risks and risk factors across racial groups, with mediation analysis conducted for selected variables.
Results
Among 90,186 DTC patients, 8.3% developed SPMs. DTC survivors face a 15% higher risk of developing SPMs compared to the general population. Blacks demonstrated a significantly lower risk of SPMs, while other ethnic groups faced higher risks than Whites. Specific SPM risk factors for Whites, Blacks, and other ethnicities were receiving radiotherapy, diagnosis at a distant stage, and tumors exceeding 40 mm, respectively. Specifically, Blacks and other ethnic groups primarily encounter SPMs in the salivary glands, soft tissues, hematologic, and urinary systems, often earlier than in Whites. Conversely, Whites had a broader distribution of risk sites, with a notable risk for other endocrine tumors, manifesting 48–87 months post-diagnosis.
Conclusions
DTC patients show significant racial and ethnic disparities in high-risk sites, temporal patterns, SPM risks and risk factors. Personalized follow-up for diverse ethnic backgrounds can ameliorate disparities, enhancing SPM risk and survival outcomes.
Thyroid Hormone Receptor Interacting Protein 13 Is Associated with Prognosis and Immunotherapy Efficacy in Human Cancers: A Pan-cancer Analysis
Authors: Zheng ShengYao , Wang HongYi , Wang Yingyi 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Thyroid hormone receptor-interacting protein 13 (TRIP13) is involved in the regulation of mitosis and overexpressed in multiple cancers. However, there is no systematic assessment of TRIP13 roles in the immunotherapy response across human cancers. Therefore, a pan-cancer analysis was performed involving expression, prognosis, immune-related mechanisms, and biomarker values to explore the association between TRIP13 and the immunotherapy response. TRIP13 was highly expressed in various types of cancer, aggravating the patient outcomes in eight kinds of cancers. TRIP13 expression correlated with significant tumor mutation burden and microsatellite instability, and its mutations were linked with poor prognosis in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma. TRIP13 promoted endothelial cell and hematopoietic stem cell infiltration in human cancers. Also, TRIP13 mutation significantly increased the infiltration of CD8 + T cells in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma. Furthermore, CDC20, RAD1, and MAD2L1 interacting with TRIP13 also played important roles in the cell cycle. The expressions of TRIP13 were significantly increased in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma, liver hepatocellular carcinoma, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma compared with the corresponding normal cells by qPCR. Taken together, TRIP13 was associated with prognosis and immunotherapy efficacy in human cancers. Our first pan-cancer study contributes to the personalization understanding of cancer immunotherapy, promoting subsequent clinical management and ultimately improving patient prognosis.

Abstract

Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs), often masqueraded in “e-cigarettes”, are novel popular psychoactive substances with diverse structures and complex material compositions, making their detection more challenging for prompt intervention. Herein, a novel electrochemical sensing platform based on Zn/Bi bimetallic organic framework-derived ZnO-Bi2O3 heterojunctions was constructed for the detection of cyclohexanylphenol synthetic cannabinoids (CP-type SCs: CP47,497 and CP55,940). The sensing characteristics of ZnO-Bi2O3 were studied under various conditions, including solvent composition, molar ratio of metal, and calcination temperature. The optimized ZnO-Bi2O3 heterojunction exhibited a larger surface area, more active sites, and stronger stability, conducive to enhanced electrochemical catalytic performance. Under optimal conditions, ZnO-Bi2O3 modified screen printed electrode (ZnO-Bi2O3/SPE) showed good linear responses toward CP47,497 and CP55,940 within the concentration ranges of 7×10− 9~5×10− 6 M and 1×10− 9~5×10− 6 M, with detection limits of 2.3× 10− 9 M and 3.3× 10− 10 M, respectively. The sensor also depicted excellent reliability and can be used for on-site electrochemical detection of target objects in e-cigarettes with high recovery rates. Finally, the electrochemical oxidation mechanism of CP47,497 and CP55,940 were studied for the first time, and electrochemical fingerprints of CP-type SCs were speculated.

Abstract

Objective: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are linked to carcinogenesis. Pathogenic variants in the CDH1 gene are associated with gastric cancer. This study examines the genotype and allele frequencies of three SNPs (rs16260, rs13689, and rs9929218) in the CDH1 gene and their relationship with gastric cancer risk.
Materials and Methods: The study involved 105 gastric cancer patients with pathology results and 105 healthy controls. Clinical, histopathological, and demographic data were collected and compared between the two groups. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples using the PureLink™ Genomic DNA Mini Kit, and SNP genotyping was performed using TaqMan probes with real-time PCR.
Results: No significant differences were found for rs16260 and rs9929218 between patients and controls (p>0.05). For rs13689, the T allele frequency was 90% in patients versus 69% in controls, while the C allele frequency was 10% in patients versus 31% in controls. A significant difference was observed for this SNP, with a higher T allele frequency in patients (p<0.0001), suggesting a fourfold increased risk of disease (OR=4.03). Genotype frequencies were 80% homozygous wild-type and 20% heterozygous in patients, and 58% homozygous wild-type, 22% heterozygous, and 20% homozygous mutant in controls. The T allele (TT+TC) was present in 100% of patients versus 80% of controls (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: This study is the first to link the rs13689 SNP’s T allele and TT genotype with increased gastric cancer risk. Our results suggest that rs13689 may contribute significantly to disease susceptibility, while rs16260 and rs9929218 may influence risk in smokers.

Authors: Yan Yishan , Liu Ling , Wang Yue , Qiang Wanmin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background: Steeped in cultural heritage, the Chinese traditionally equate death with misfortune. This deeply rooted belief has led to a low rate of living will signings and poses challenges for implementing death education. Master's degree nursing students are instrumental in facilitating and promoting the adoption of living wills, leveraging their specialized knowledge in providing compassionate care. Despite existing research on living wills, there is a scarcity of qualitative studies that consolidate the perceptions, beliefs, and expectations of Master's degree nursing students regarding living wills.
Aim: To scrutinize the perceptions, beliefs, and anticipations regarding living wills among Master’s degree nursing students in China.
Method: To address the research objective, an exploratory qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured face-to-face interviews
Results: Three main themes and eight subthemes were identified: Perceptions of living will (high attention, knowledge deficit, and lack of education), beliefs of living wills (high acceptance and positive clinical significance), and anticipations of the living will (high expectations of improved knowledge, factors influencing promotion, and suggestions for improvement).
Conclusion: The facilitation and progression of living wills is an intricate and drawn-out process, encountering obstacles at various stages. These insights are significant for policymakers and healthcare systems, emphasizing the necessity to cultivate a supportive environment for the establishment of living wills. As indispensable contributors to the clinical operations team, Master's degree nursing students are required to possess relevant perceptions and to foster a constructive belief system.
Utilizing Sophisticated Lattice Support Structures in Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Ameen Wadea 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Additive Manufacturing of complex parts with overhangs using Electron Beam melting (EBM) frequently need additional sacrificial support structures to support the part during the process. In order to prevent deformation or bending due to thermal loads, these structures, which are constructed concurrently with the part, secure the overhang geometry to the base plate. The design and choice of support structure can affect the cost and time of manufacturing, the ability to manufacture complicated metal parts, and the effective use of materials and energy. This study advances the design and production of a more effective support by utilizing lattice structures with a relatively minimal volume fraction. This work aims to use lattice structures as supports for parts production in EBM. It evaluates the effects of metal lattice support structure parameters on support structure removal and overhang quality (overhang distortion). Two types of lattice structures, Diamond and Dode-thin, have been selected and assessed using varying beam current, scan speed, lattice cell size, and process parameters. The specimens are fabricated using EBM, wire electric discharge machine is used to remove the support structures and 3D comparison technique is used to evaluate the overhang distortion. The findings indicate that the lattice structures function effectively as support structures, and the design and process parameters have an effect on the performance of the generated support; however, these effects were not substantial.
Deciphering the overtaking phenomenon initiated by centrality nodes in spreading
Authors: Jia Tao , He Wenchao , Chao Gao 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Trying to identify the “hubs” or other central nodes that could maximize the final size of spreading has long been an important research subject in network science. However, empirical studies have revealed that many large spreading events are initiated by nodes located at the periphery or those with lower centrality. In this work, we investigate the roles of seed nodes characterized by both the highest and lowest centrality in network spreading. Surprisingly, we find that the outbreak scales initiated by nodes with the lowest centrality can overtake those initiated by nodes with the highest centrality, particularly in scenarios involving multiple seed nodes. These findings have been substantiated through our analysis of numerous empirical and synthetic networks, with consistent observations across all studied centrality measures. We decipher this intriguing phenomenon by dissecting the spreading dynamics into outbreak scale and outbreak probability, informed by the bimodal distributions inherent in stochastic spreading processes. To further rigorously elucidate this overtaking phenomenon, we present the mathematical proofs based on the percolation theory.
