Published: November 2024

Horticultural crops are invaluable to the lands of small and marginal farmers across the nation, making a substantial contribution to the national economy. The significant productivity gap in horticulture is mostly attributable to the inefficient utilization of water and fertilizer resources. Soil fertility has been declining, driven by nutrient depletion and excessive fertilizer application with low nutrient-use efficiency, which hampers productivity despite the steady increase in cultivated area. Numerous research has investigated the application of water-soluble fertilizers to enhance the yield of horticulture crops, achieving greater profitability while minimizing environmental effects. Water-soluble fertilizers are closely linked to improvements in growth, yield attributes, and soil fertility in various horticultural crops. These fertilizers offer numerous advantages, such as controlling weed growth, reducing the need for herbicides, and enhancing the quality of vegetables and fruits, leading to widespread adoption. Additionally, drip irrigation systems in horticulture have conserved nearly half of the fertilizers and water resources used. Achieving self-sufficiency and sustainability in food production further supports precision farming through water-soluble fertilizers. Consequently, higher nutrient use efficiency (NUE) can be attained, making water-soluble fertilizers an essential component of precision agriculture and site-specific nutrient management.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBecause renal artery stenosis (RAS) often presents bilateral, we sought to investigate the renal pressure‐flow relationship and its relation to renin release, in the presence of a contralateral significant stenosis. A porcine model of graded unilateral RAS in the presence of a significant contralateral stenosis was created. The severity of the stenosis was expressed as the ratio between distal renal pressure (Pd) and aortic pressure (Pa). Pd and renal flow velocity were continuously measured using a combined pressure‐flow wire (Combowire®). Hemodynamic measurements and blood sampling for renin, angiotensin, and aldosterone were performed in baseline conditions and during progressive balloon inflation in the renal artery leading to stepwise 5% Pd decrements. Resistive index (RI) was computed as (1‐(End Diastolic V/Maximum Peak Systolic V))*100. A decrease of average peak flow velocity (APV) was observed when distal renal perfusion pressure decreased by 25% and was associated with activation of renin secretion. The RI decreased already for minimal changes in Pd/Pa ratio. In an animal model of unilateral graded RAS in the presence of a significant contralateral stenosis, a 25% decrease in perfusion pressure results in a significant decrease in distal renal flow, causing a more pronounced upregulation of renin secretion when compared to a model of graded unilateral RAS without contralateral significant RAS.

AbstractN‐butylphthalide (NBP) has been reported to have potential protective effects in ischemic stroke via its antioxidative properties. The present study was aimed to investigate the protective effects of NBP on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)‐induced skeletal muscle injury. Mouse model of I/R‐induced skeletal muscle injury and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)‐induced C2C12 myotube injury model were constructed to test the protective effects of NBP both in vivo and in vitro. Our results showed that I/R resulted in skeletal muscle injury, as evidenced by elevated levels of LDH, CK, ROS, 3‐NT, MDA, and 4‐HNE as well as decreased activities of SOD, GSH‐Px, and decreased expression of Myog and MyoD in gastrocnemius muscle, which was ameliorated by NBP treatment. Mechanistically, NBP treatment increased the expression of Sirt1 and Nrf2 in the injured skeletal muscle. Notably, the protective effects of NBP on I/R‐induced skeletal muscle injury was diminished by the treatment of Sirt1 inhibitor. Further studies in H/R‐induced C2C12 myotubes injury model also showed that NBP activated the Sirt1/Nrf2 pathway. NBP treatment upregulated the expression of myog and MyoD in H/R‐stimulated C2C12 myotubes, which was eliminated by silencing of Sirt1. Taken together, our results suggest that NBP may alleviated I/R‐induced skeletal muscle injury by activating Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway.
Viability of Extremely Premature neonates: clinical approaches and outcomes
Authors: Koc Esin , Unal Sezin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Viability refers to an infant’s ability to survive outside the womb, which is influenced by both developmental maturity and the quality of medical care received. The concept of periviability, which has evolved alongside medical advancements, describes the stage between viability and nonviability, typically spanning from 200/7 to 25 6/7 weeks of gestation. While the chances of survival are extremely low at the earlier end of this range, the possibility of surviving without significant long-term complications improves towards the later end. The effectiveness of various antenatal and postnatal care practices, particularly those considered to be part of an active approach, plays a crucial role in influencing survival rates and mitigating morbidities. However, the decision to provide such active care is heavily influenced by national guidelines as well as international standards. The variability in guideline recommendations from one country to another, coupled with differences based on gestational age or accompanying risk factors, prevents the establishment of a standardized global approach. This variability results in differing practices depending on the country or institution where the birth occurs. Consequently, healthcare providers must navigate these discrepancies, which often leads to complex ethical dilemmas regarding the balance between potential survival and the associated risks. This review article explores the evolution of the definition of viability, the vulnerabilities faced by periviable infants, and the advancements in medical care that have improved survival rates. Additionally, it examines the viability and periviability definitions, the care and outcomes of periviable infants and recommendations in guidelines.
Advances and challenges in platelet counting: evolving from traditional microscopy to modern flow cytometry
Authors: Chen Yong , Hu Yonggang , Hu Hai 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Platelet counting is a fundamental clinical test for diagnosing haemorrhagic diseases, coagulation abnormalities, and certain autoimmune disorders, and it also serves as a critical basis for decisions regarding platelet transfusion. Common automated methods for platelet counting include the international harmonization protocol (IHP) based on flow cytometry, CD61 immunoplatelet count (CD61-imm), impedance platelet count (PLT-I), hybrid platelet count (PLT-H), optical platelet count (PLT-O), and fluorescence platelet count (PLT-F). The IHP, based on flow cytometry, is recommended as the reference measurement procedure (RMP) by the Ministry of Health of the People’s Republic of China, the International Council for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH), and the International Society of Laboratory Hematology (ISLH) due to its superior precision and accuracy. Despite the significant improvements in efficiency and standardization brought about by automation, traditional blood smear microscopic examination (PLT-M) remains indispensable in specific scenarios, such as low platelet counts or abnormal platelet morphology, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of platelet counting results from automated methods.
Geographic tokenism on editorial boards: a content analysis of highly ranked communication journals
Authors: Asuman Manfred , Ibrahim Abubakar , Cohen Meghan Sobel , Ekdale Brian 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Purpose
Research posits that the overrepresentation of certain countries from the Global North contributes to the geographical disparity in knowledge production within communication, media and journalism. Our study sets out to understand geographic tokenism in academia by analyzing the editorial boards of 30 highly ranked journals in communication, media, and journalism studies. We sought to explore if certain institutions and academics from underrepresented regions were overrepresented on journal editorial boards.

Methodology
We content analyzed the members of the editorial boards of 30 highly ranked communication, media and journalism studies journals. From our coded data we were able to identify the individual’s name, role on the editorial board, institutional affiliation, and country of institutional affiliation. Chi square, Pearson’s correlation, and Hierarchical linear modeling were used in analyzing our data.

Findings
Our study found that institutions and academics affiliated to institutions in the Global South are woefully underrepresented on journal editorial boards. On the other hand, we report an overrepresentation of a small number of institutions and scholars from the Global South across the sampled journals in instances where there is representation from the underrepresented regions on journal editorial boards.

Practical implications
Our results show that a journal with more diversity on editorial boards and editorial roles is associated with higher journal ranking.

Social implications
The social implications of our findings rests in the fact that tokenism can impede the diversity of thought that is necessary to move beyond the thorny idea of Western-centered scholarship being considered normative.

Originality
Whereas previous studies have analyzed editorial boards, our study is unique because it includes institutional and individual level analyses of journal editorial board members in our analysis of geographical disparities in knowledge production.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the most widespread type of additive manufacturing technology. However, the extrusion based process limits the interfacial bonding strength and dimensional accuracy of the printed parts. This paper presents a gas assisted nozzle to localized heating around filament through hot air flow, to maintain the temperature of the filament stays and improve the quality of the bonding. The impact of assist gas temperature (55 °C–295 °C), flow rate (1 L/min–3 L/min) and pressure (0.2 MPa–0.5 MPa) on filament extrudation, layer consolidation, and the printed parts thermal properties, as well as the mechanical properties were investigated. It is shown that the swell ratio of extruded filament and dimensional difference of layer thickness can be controlled by varying the assist gas parameters. The assist gas raises the temperature of the exudate and the existing layer near the nozzle, leading to 73.6 % increase in crystallinity, 19.4 % increase in tensile strength and 48.4 % impact strength. The gas assisted pre-heating approach represents an effective way to increase interlayer strength can be employed as an additional control parameter to improve the thermal and mechanical properties of the FDM printed parts.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Valosin-containing protein (p97/VCP) and its cofactor, small p97/VCP-interacting protein (SVIP), are involved in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation pathway (ERAD). We investigated the cellular localization of vitamin D receptor (VDR), ERAD, and autophagic proteins (LC3B and p62) in rat brain tissue.

Methods
There were four groups consisting of 24 Wistar albino rats: control and treatment groups for vitamin D, omega-3, and both vitamin D and omega-3. Brain tissues were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, azan trichrome, and toluidine blue for histopathological evaluation. The immunohistochemistry assay was performed for VDR, p97/VCP, SVIP, LC3B, and p62 in rat brain sections.

Results
The immunoexpression of VDR and p97/VCP was significantly increased in hippocampus and cortex of brain tissue from the vitamin D-supplemented group. Furthermore, the protein expression level of SVIP reached the highest level in vitamin D-treated group. LC3B and p62 revealed reduced expressions in vitamin D-treated group in rat brain and hippocampus, in contrast to p97/VCP, SVIP, and VDR.

Conclusions
Vitamin D and omega-3 supplementations had no negative effects at a cellular level on hippocampus and cortex of the brain tissue. Vitamin D increased the expression of the proteins that are related to the ERAD pathway, whereas it reduced the expression of the proteins in the autophagy pathway. Also, in this study, SVIP expressions were shown in rat hippocampus and cortex of the brain tissue.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Objectives
This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of medical biochemistry professionals in Türkiye regarding green and sustainable medical laboratory (GSML) practices. It also seeks to identify the most common and challenging barriers to adopting GSML practices.

Methods
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 130 medical biochemistry professionals, including academicians, specialists, and residents, across various hospital types in Türkiye. The survey, distributed via Google Forms, consisted of 29 questions divided into five sections covering participant characteristics, knowledge about GSML, individual attitudes, laboratory practices, and awareness of EFLM guidelines. Data were analyzed using Excel and SPSS.

Results
The survey revealed that only 10.8 % of participants received education on sustainability during their specialty training. Despite this, 76.2 % had heard of the concept of sustainability, although 74.6 % were unaware of green chemistry principles. Individual environmental practices were generally positive, with 96 % of participants turning off lights and equipment when not in use. However, significant gaps were found in laboratory GSML practices, particularly in energy (only 44 % of laboratories regularly defrost refrigerators and freezers) and water management (only 40.8 % perform regular maintenance). The most common barriers to GSML implementation were identified as education and awareness (46.2 %), sustainability (24.6 %), cost (15.4 %), motivation (8.5 %), and communication (2.3 %).

Conclusions
There is a critical need for enhanced education and awareness of GSML practices. While individual environmental behaviors are positive, systemic changes in laboratory practices are necessary. Addressing the identified barriers, particularly through targeted educational initiatives, is essential for promoting sustainable practices in medical laboratories.
Unravelling Possible Worlds in Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale: Examining Rhetorical Devices
Authors: Hatamzadeh Esfahani Somayeh , Rostami Masoud 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Recently, considerable literature has grown up around the theme of possible worlds as a new way of understanding literary texts. The main thrust of Possible Worlds Theory lies within the world-creating power of the reader’s imagination. Despite a considerable amount of literature on Possible Worlds Theory, investigating the consistent correlation between this theory and rhetorical devices such as intertextuality and metaphor still seems a productive endeavour. What remains unclear is how intertextual references and metaphors trigger alternative possible worlds, which may or may not be consistent with an actual world. In this regard, employing Ryan’s Possible Worlds Theory (1991), this paper seeks to unravel the underlying possible worlds of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) by tracing its rhetorical devices, which develop the main idea of the novel. Additionally, a significant feature of postmodernist writing, i.e. ‘fiction within fiction,’ is examined to assess characterization. This research provides an exciting opportunity to advance our knowledge of possible worlds within the poetics of postmodernist fiction.
‘Nostalgia is the English Disease’ – Or is it? Jonathan Coe’s Middle England (2018)
Authors: Mengel Ewald 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In common understanding, nostalgia is a past-oriented attitude that makes people turn their backs on the present and glorify former times. It leads to a self-indulgent ‘ossification’ of one’s thoughts and results in escapism and the break with contemporary reality. Jonathan Coe’s Middle England, one of the first English Brexit novels, is deeply steeped in the past and in certain forms of nostalgia that greatly contribute to the novel’s overall atmosphere. One of these forms, the hankering after England’s glorious past and the lost Empire, may easily be related to Brexit. This type of nostalgia, however, which contributed to England’s leaving of the European Union, is only one form of nostalgia which Coe makes use of. What I want to show is that there is another type of nostalgia in the novel that is future-oriented and filled with positive social and psychological energies. It is this type of nostalgia that characterizes most of Coe’s protagonists and that is responsible for the structure of his novel.
Of Whales and Mushrooms: Anna Tsing’s and John Ironmonger’s Polyphonic Storytelling
Authors: Marik Eva 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Growing discontent with the ideological formations of Hobbesian self-interest and capitalist progress narratives are countered in Anna Tsing’s The Mushroom at the End of the World (2015) and John Ironmonger’s The Whale at the End of the World ([2015] 2021) through the use of Bakhtinian polyphony which textually manifests collaborative survival. The converging narrative strategies of these books reshape the fiction/non-fiction boundary from opposite ends of the literature/science writing spectrum.
Assessment of household dietary diversity and its associated factors among the households of Amritsar district: a descriptive cross-sectional study

Published: November 2024

Background: Dietary diversity (DD) refers to the range of foods consumed over a specific period, ensuring adequate nutrient intake for optimal health and development. It’s a critical component of a healthy diet and is widely recognized as such. Dietary diversity is a qualitative measure of food consumption, which indicates household access to a variety of foods and is proxy for nutrient adequacy of the individual's diet. It is described as the number of different food or food groups consumed over a given reference period.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was done in rural areas and urban slums of district Amritsar. A 24-hour recall evaluated the HDDS amongst 300 households equally distributed in rural and urban areas. HDDS consisted of 12 food groups which were marked 0 or 1 depending upon the consumption of various food items in the past 24 hours and the total score was calculated. Data was compiled and analyzed using Epi Info, CDC USA. For nominal, categorical and ordinal data, frequencies and proportions were calculated. For continuous data, mean±standard deviation, median (IQR) were calculated whichever relevant depending upon the distribution of data.
Results: Mean household dietary diversity score in rural areas was a little higher i.e. 8.96 versus urban areas where it was 8.82.
Conclusions: In both rural and urban areas (100%) ate 6 food groups viz. cereals and millets, vegetables, milk and milk products, oil and butter, sugar/honey/jaggery and tea/coffee.
