Authors: Abdelhameed Hosam Farouk , El‑Hamd Mohammed Abu , Zarif Helmy Mena 
Published: April 2019

Background: In infertile men with varicocele, controlled studies clearly indicate that varicocelectomy improves pregnancy rates. Non microsurgical varicocelectomy is associated with many complications; hydrocele is the most common one. Many techniques have been done to reduce the incidence of post-varicocelectomy hydrocele which is somewhat difficult to be done. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of pre-emptive eversion of tunica vaginalis in avoidance of post-operative hydrocele after non microsurgical varicocelectomy and its effect on fertility.Methods: A total number of 115 infertile men with varicocele underwent varicocelectomy during August 2015 to December 2016 in Sohag university hospital. Fifty five patients underwent bilateral microsurgical varicocelectomy (group A), were compared with 60 patients who underwent bilateral non microsurgical varicocelectomy with pre-emptive eversion of tunica vaginalis (group B) as regard, development of post-operative hydrocele, operative time, complication rates, hospital stay and effect on spontaneous pregnancy.Results: Group A has longer duration of surgery (26±11.7minutes versus 20±10.2minutes) while there was no significant difference in hospital stay (6±2.5 hours versus 6±1.5 hours) in both groups. No post-operative wound infection in both groups. There was one case (1.6%) develop scrotal haematoma in (group B) only. No post-operative recurrence in both groups. No post-operative hydrocele developed in both groups. Improvement in sperm count, motility and morphology occurred in both groups. No significant difference in percentage of paternity during 6-24 months.Conclusions: Pre-emptive eversion of tunica during non- microsurgical varicocelectomy might be offered as an adjunctive technique to avoid development of post-operative hydrocele that is easy, not time consuming and has comparable results of microsurgical varicocelectomy.

<p><em>Botrytis cinerea</em> (Teleomorfo: <em>Botryotinia fuckeliana)</em> es el agente causal de la pudrición gris en crisantemo (<em>Dendrathema grandiflora</em>), uno de los cultivos más importantes de flor de corte en México. Chena (Ch), cultivar de mayor demanda comercial, es más susceptible a dicho hongo respecto de cultivares como Flamingo (F) y Moreliana (M). En ésta investigación, se evaluó la incidencia de <em>B. cinerea</em> y la calidad del tallo floral en el cultivar Chena, bajo tres arreglos espaciales: A1, Chena flanqueada por Flamingo (F-Ch-F); A2, Chena flanqueada por Moreliana (M-Ch-M) y A3 solamente Chena (Ch-Ch-Ch). Al corte del capítulo floral, <em>B. cinerea</em> se presentó solamente en A3 (22 %) y en vida de florero a los 16 días, Chena en A3 mostró 100 % de infección, seguido de A1 y A2 con 15 y 0 %, respectivamente. La calidad del tallo floral de Chena (altura, diámetro del capítulo, grosor del tallo) en los arreglos A1 y A2 fue significativamente mayor (<em>P?0.05</em>) respecto a A3. La baja incidencia de <em>B. cinerea</em> en Chena en A1 y A2 indica que Flamingo y Moreliana actuaron como barreras laterales que pueden ser útiles para disminuir la incidencia de la enfermedad y el uso de fungicidas.</p>

Swasembada kedelai nasional telah dicanangkan kembali untuk dicapai pada tahun 2020. Namun, saat ini areal tanam kedelai cenderung turun dan daya saingnya rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan kesesuaian agroekonomi, dan mengidentifikasi permasalahan dan peluang pengembangan komoditas kedelai pada wilayah perluasan areal tanam baru (PATB). Penelitian dilakukan di lima wilayah yaitu Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB), Sulawesi Selatan, Kalimantan Selatan, Sumatera Utara, dan Lampung. Permasalahan dan peluang PATB kedelai diidentifikasi internal dan eksternalnya dengan teknik analisis SWOT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peta kekuatan PATB kedelai di masing-masing wilayah berbeda, sehingga diperlukan strategi khusus untuk masing-masing lokasi tersebut. Dengan menghitung indeks daya saing kedelai terhadap tanaman kompetitor di masing-masing PATB dapat disimpulkan bahwa saat ini daya saing kedelai masih lemah dengan tanaman kompetitor kedelai antara lain jagung, ubi kayu, kacang tanah, tembakau, cabai, bawang merah, dan tanaman tahunan. Kemampuan daya saing kedelai di masing-masing wilayah PATB bergantung kepada produktivitas kedelai, tingkat harga kedelai, produktivitas tanaman kompetitor dan tingkat harga komoditas kompetitor. Upaya untuk memperkuat daya saing sekaligus meningkatkan semangat berusahatani kedelai dapat dilakukan dengan penerapan regulasi harga dan atau peningkatan produktivitas kedelai. <br /><br />

Dynamics of Soil Carbon Concentrations and Quality Induced by Agricultural Land Use in Central South Africa
Authors: Loke P. F. , Kotzé E. , du Preez C. C. , Twigge L. 
Published: April 2019

Core IdeasConverting grasslands to cropland deprives soils of C regardless of lability or recalcitrant nature.Reversion into secondary grasslands can reverse soil C losses in semiarid agro‐ecosystems.Secondary grassland management improves SOC quality to resemble primary grasslands.Relative losses and gains of soil C fractions are modulated by climatic and soil conditions.Prolonged soil cultivation has been identified as a major cause of land degradation and a threat to soil quality in drought‐prone environments. This study evaluated land use effects on soil carbon (C) fractions and organic C (SOC) quality across three semiarid agro‐ecosystems (Harrismith, Tweespruit, and Kroonstad) in central South Africa. Soil samples were collected from croplands, primary and secondary grasslands at the 0‐ to 200‐mm layer in each agro‐ecosystem and analyzed for various soil C fractions. The SOC structure was characterized with13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. All analyses were done on bulk soil samples. Conversion of primary grasslands into croplands decreased C fractions by 27 to 90% across the three agro‐ecosystems, with highest losses recorded in Harrismith and Tweespruit and lowest in Kroonstad, suggesting site‐specific conditions acted together with cultivation to effect C losses. The13C NMR spectra revealed a slight change in SOC structural composition when O‐alkyl C decreased with concomitant increase in aromatic and alkyl C due to cultivation, with differences in the range of 1 to 11%. O‐alkyl C remained almost the same in Harrismith, suggesting that lignin‐derived methoxy groups were probably more dominant than easily decomposable carbohydrates as opposed to O‐alkyl C in Tweespruit and Kroonstad. Meanwhile, reversion of cultivated soils into perennial pastures restored and even increased some soil C fractions (by 3–129%) to represent primary grasslands, especially in Kroonstad. Organic C decomposition was lower in the cultivated soils relative to virgin and restored soils. This underscores the importance of determining plant biomass composition because these unusual responses were probably related to vegetation differences. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of secondary grassland management to rehabilitate degraded cultivated soils with implications for restoration of agro‐ecosystem functions and services.
Predicting Kinetics of As(V) Adsorption and Desorption on Mixed Minerals of Ferrihydrite and δ‐MnO2

Published: April 2019

Core Ideas
Adsorption and desorption kinetics of As(V) on Fe and Mn oxide mixture was studied.
A predictive kinetics model based on component additivity approach was developed.
The kinetics model predicted the kinetic data of As(V) well for the mixed oxides.
Ferrihydrite and δ‐MnO2 controlled As(V) reaction kinetics differently.
Arsenate [As(V)] soil contamination is a great concern worldwide because of its high toxicity, carcinogenicity, and mobility. The adsorption of As(V) on soil minerals such as ferrihydrite and δ‐MnO2 controls the transport and bioavailability of As(V) in the soil environment. A large number of studies have investigated the equilibrium and mechanisms of As(V) adsorption onto ferrihydrite and δ‐MnO2 individually. However, both ferrihydrite and δ‐MnO2, commonly coexisting within soils has been overlooked and little information is available for the kinetics of As(V) adsorption and desorption in this mixed mineral system. Therefore, in this work, kinetics of As(V) adsorption and desorption onto ferrihydrite and δ‐MnO2 mixed minerals is studied using the stirred‐flow method. A kinetics model for the mixed mineral system was developed using the component additivity approach, which incorporated the nonlinear binding of As(V) to both ferrihydrite and δ‐MnO2 simultaneously. The kinetics model successfully predicted the kinetics of As(V) adsorption and desorption in the mixed mineral system under varying solution chemistry conditions and properly accounted for the heterogeneity of the binding sites of both ferrihydrite and δ‐MnO2. For As(V) adsorption kinetics, the ferrihydrite bidentate non‐protonated sites (Fh‐bi‐np) played a dominant role, followed by the δ‐MnO2 binding sites and the ferrihydrite bidentate protonated sites (Fh‐bi‐p). After the 4‐h desorption, As(V) was mainly retained on ferrihydrite binding sites. This study helps to quantitatively elucidate the kinetic behavior and mechanisms of As(V) in the Fe oxide and Mn oxide systems, thus enhancing our understanding of the fate and transport of As in soil environments.
An Overview on G Protein-coupled Receptor-induced Signal Transduction in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Authors: Selheim Frode , Aasebø Elise , Ribas Catalina , Aragay Anna M. 
Published: April 2019

Background:
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a genetically heterogeneous disease
characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of precursor myeloid-lineage cells in the bone
marrow. AML is also characterized by patients with poor long-term survival outcomes due to
relapse. Many efforts have been made to understand the biological heterogeneity of AML and
the challenges to develop new therapies are therefore enormous. G Protein-coupled Receptors
(GPCRs) are a large attractive drug-targeted family of transmembrane proteins, and aberrant
GPCR expression and GPCR-mediated signaling have been implicated in leukemogenesis of
AML. This review aims to identify the molecular players of GPCR signaling, focusing on the
hematopoietic system, which are involved in AML to help developing novel drug targets and
therapeutic strategies.

Methods:
We undertook an exhaustive and structured search of bibliographic databases for
research focusing on GPCR, GPCR signaling and expression in AML.

Results and Conclusion:
Many scientific reports were found with compelling evidence for
the involvement of aberrant GPCR expression and perturbed GPCR-mediated signaling in the
development of AML. The comprehensive analysis of GPCR in AML provides potential
clinical biomarkers for prognostication, disease monitoring and therapeutic guidance. It will
also help to provide marker panels for monitoring in AML. We conclude that GPCR-mediated
signaling is contributing to leukemogenesis of AML, and postulate that mass spectrometrybased
protein profiling of primary AML cells will accelerate the discovery of potential GPCR
related biomarkers for AML.

“AOS CAPRICHOS DO AMOR” – POESIA E EROTISMO DE GILKA MACHADO
Authors: Dias Júlio Cesar Tavares 
Published: April 2019

Gilka Machado foi duramente afligida pela crítica desde sua
estreia, até que esta chegou, de certa forma, a sufocá-la. Revisitar seus versos mostra um
arrebatamento lírico notável no período de "meia-decadência" do Simbolismo.
Fez ela parte da última corrente do Simbolismo, o Neo-Parnasianismo, ao lado
de nomes como Hermes Fontes, Francisca Júlia e Augusto dos Anjos. Métodos: A leitura aqui proposta não se resume a aspectos histórico-bibliográficos, antes, partindo-se de conceitos da Psicanálise, propõe-se ler os seus poemas dentro de uma discussão ampla sobre os pontos
em que se tocam Erotismo e Literatura e sobre a essência da
Feminidade. Este trabalho objetiva demonstrar como a visão de feminidade relaciona-se com o erotismo na poesia gilkiana, estando nela sempre presente a consciência das situações de gênero. O trabalho contribui para maior compreensão da fase de decadência do simbolismo brasileiro como também das representações do feminino e do erótico na literatura feminina brasileira.

Sobre "como inventar um método?" e algumas de suas armadilhas / About “how to invent a method?” and some of its pitfalls
Authors: Zanella Andrea Vieira 
Published: April 2019

Este texto problematiza o pesquisar a partir da seguinte pergunta: “Como inventar um método?”. Trata-se de pergunta cuja busca de respostas pode levar os interessados na questão a se deixar capturar pela armadilha da assunção de um método-caminho que, uma vez bem delineado, inexoravelmente levará a lugar antecipadamente definido. Porém, não é possível, para quem está enredado nas tramas epistemológicas e metodológicas que constituem os processos de pesquisar em contextos acadêmicos, passar incólume a essa pergunta. Afinal, trata-se de uma pergunta-dispositivo a abrir campos de visibilidade, dizibilidade e pensabilidade geralmente obstruídos por prescrições metodológicas. As discussões apresentadas focam essas questões e possibilitam afirmar o pesquisar como atividade cuja problemática emerge da vida e cujos resultados a esta retornam, porém não somente como explicações ou compreensões de uma dada realidade. Pesquisar, assim como a pergunta-mote deste texto, é dispositivo não somente de evocação de mundos, mas principalmente de sua produção.

The aims of this study are to analyze and describe strategies of complaint and their functions. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method. This study applies the complaint theory proposed by Trosborg (1995) and the context theory proposed by Mc Mannis et al (1987). The result of this study shows that all of complaint strategies according to Trosborg can be found in this movie, those are hint, annoyance, ill cosequence, indirect accusation, direct accusation, modified blame, explicit condemnation of the accused’s action, and explicit condemnation of the accused as a person strategies. There are three functions of complaint found in this movie, those are to break a relationship or create a social distance among the participants, to maintain a relationship and fix a situation, and to show a negative feeling or share a specific negative evaluation.
Compensation Consultant Fees and CEO Pay
Authors: Cho Jeh-Hyun , Hwang Iny , Hyun Jeong-Hoon , Shin Jae Yong 
Published: April 2019

ABSTRACT
While compensation consultants are known to play an important role in the design of executive compensation contracts, evidence on the effect of consultant incentives on CEO pay is mixed. Using compensation consultant observations with mandatory fee disclosures, which a prior study identifies as an optimal pay setter, we examine whether CEO pay is associated with consultants' incentives to retain clients, measured by fees for executive compensation services. In contrast to previous studies that find no support for repeat business incentives, we find evidence that CEO pay is higher when consultants receive abnormally high fees, demonstrating a strong incentive to retain the client, and that this positive association occurs only in weakly governed firms. This finding highlights the importance of consultant incentives and corporate governance in executive compensation settings.
