Abstract

A novel, one-location square grid area-based sampling method called “box” sampling was developed for vineyard nutrient monitoring. Box sampling was compared with random and stratified sampling methods at both bloom and veraison for grapevine foliar nitrogen (N%), phosphorus (P%), potassium (K%), magnesium (Mg%), and calcium (Ca%). Box and stratified sampling locations were determined based on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) images. SAR and NDVI images were stratified into three variability zonesusing the k-means++ algorithm. Representative pixels from each zone were sampled using the stratified method, while the junction of these variability zones (30mx30m sampling window) was sampled using the new box method. In 2021 and 2022, these methods were compared against nutrient population parameters in two vineyard blocks. Both methods showed marginal differences in mean, median, and standard deviation, with box sampling consistently capturing a broader range of variation, evidenced by a Bhattacharyya coefficient of >0.80 for N%, P%, and Mg% and >0.60 for K% and Ca% at both bloom and veraison. For 14 different commercial vineyards in 2022 and 2023, box sampling accurately captured random nutrient variability for N%, P% and Mg% at both bloom and veraison. However, for K% (at veraison) and Ca% box sampling performed poorly due to high spatial variability. Box sampling reduced the sampling distance and time by 75% compared to random sampling.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
Water pollution remains a longstanding challenge globally, prompting substantial investment in water quality protection. The integration of advanced machine learning models offers promising avenues for accurate water quality prediction, enabling proactive measures to safeguard water sources. Presently, water quality assessment relies predominantly on physical and chemical metrics. This study developed MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), long short-term memory (LSTM), and a hybrid CNN–LSTM model to forecast pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. Results demonstrated the hybrid model's superior performance, with mean squared errors (MSEs) of 0.0015 and 0.0361 for pH and DO prediction, respectively. For Water Quality Classification (WQC), Random Forest (RF), k-Nearest Neighbors (kNNs), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Light gradient Boosting Machine (Light GBM) were employed, with SVM achieving the highest accuracy at 88.75%. The research underscores the effectiveness of the CNN–LSTM model in predicting pH and DO levels. Leveraging these predictions as inputs to the SVM model offers valuable insights, particularly in regions where conventional monitoring methods face limitations. This streamlined approach, requiring only two parameters, signifies a significant advancement in accurate water quality prediction.

Authors: Carvalho Hamilton , Ikbal Tehssin Mahomed 
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo aborda sobre o valor jurídico do costume no direito positivo, procurando assim, fazer o Estudo comparado do costume ao nível do Direito africano e europeu, tendo nesta senda, selecionado no sistema europeu – o Brasil, Portugal e França, e quanto ao sistema africano – Moçambique, Angola e África do Sul. Esta temática, prende-se a necessidade de perceber, qual é o valor jurídico do costume no direito positivo? uma vez que sempre estudou-se que a lei fonte do direito por excelência, bem assim atendendo e considerando ao facto de, na legislação pátria, ter-se nos cernes do artigo 4º da CRM enfatizado o pluralismo jurídico, subjaz a existência de diferentes grupos étnicos no ordenamento pátrio, enfatizando assim o papel do costume, todavia este não vem a ser materializado, procuramos assim perceber o seu valor no direito positivo, recorrendo ao direito comparado. Sendo bastante amplo dissertar sobre Europa e Moçambique, selecionamos alguns países, como balizas de estudo, sem, contudo, ter a intenção de esgotar o tema, mais sim aludir a sua pertinência para o alcance da justiça, nas diferentes ordens jurídicas. O presente estudo circunscreve-se na seara do Direito público comparado, tendo sido escrito como quesito de avaliação do modulo de doutoramento em direito público, na cadeira de direito público comparado, tendo por objecto comparar o costume africano e europeu, na perspectiva doutrinal, procurando fazer a revisão da literatura existente, sensibilizando o mundo inteiro. Como mecanismo conducente à concretização do presente artigo, adoptamos a pesquisa bibliográfica, e os métodos: comparativo-indutivo e hermenêutico. Ilidimos assim que, como fonte do direito temos o costume, algo ainda muito importante não apenas na África, mas no mundo, como um dos pilares para a realização da Justiça. Neste sentido não se pode negar a existência de diferentes grupos étnicos que regem sociedades distintas, enfatizando, a necessidade de que a os Estados valorizem o costume, permitindo que a autonomia da sociedade na gestão dos problemas sociais, ou seja, a necessidade de buscar concretizar o pluralismo jurídico.

Authors: Dong Jian-Wei , Li Ya-Li , Li Xue-Jiao , Xu Xiao-Xin , Li Feng-Xian 
Published: November 2024

Background:
Gardeniae fructus (Zhi-Zi) is the dry ripe fruit of the plant Gardenia jasminoides
Ellis (Rubiaceae), which can be used as both food and medicine. Geniposide, a key constituent
of Gardeniae fructus, serves as an indicator component for evaluating the quality of Gardeniae
fructus. Traditionally, the quantification of geniposide in Gardeniae fructus is achieved
through High-performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)-based methods.

Objective:
The present study aimed to introduce a rapid approach to quantifying geniposide content
in Gardeniae fructus along with validating its effectiveness.

Methods:
The experiments involved finding a suitable deuterium solvent, Internal Standard (IS),
specific peak, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) parameters for quantitation, and validating
specificity, accuracy, precision, and stability.

Results:
The results have indicated that methanol-d4 as a solvent has facilitated excellent signal separation
in the proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, with trimethyl 1,3,5-
benzenetricarboxylate emerging as the ideal IS. The specific signal at δ 7.45, corresponding to
H-3 in geniposide, has been identified as the optimal peak for integration. The application of distinctive
signals from the 1H NMR spectroscopy has allowed for the precise quantification of geniposide
in Gardeniae fructus.

Conclusion:
This study has suggested using 1H NMR to quantify geniposide in Gardeniae fructus
to be a viable alternative to HPLC-based methods, providing a suitable approach for quality control
of Gardeniae fructus.

Published: November 2024

Background:
This study explores the antimicrobial, antifungal, and insecticidal properties
of Scolymus grandiflorus essential oil, examining its potential uses in the fields of pharmacology
and agriculture.

Materials and Methods:
The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation was studied by GC and
GC/MS. The antibacterial capacity of the essential oil was determined against two Gram-positive
and three Gram-negative bacterial species. The antifungal activity of the essential oil was
investigated against two fungi responsible for many fruit and vegetable diseases. The insecticidal
activity of essential oil was evaluated against larvae, pupae, and adult flies of Ceratitis capitata.

Results:
The GC and GC-MS analysis of the essential oil of the roots of S. grandiflorus revealed
the predominant presence of davanoids, representing more than 80% of its chemical composition.
The results of the disc diffusion test showed significant antimicrobial activity. The essential
oil inhibited the growth of Salmonella typhi (25 mm), Staphylocoque aureus (18 mm), and Escherichia
coli (17 mm), with inhibition diameters comparable to those of gentamicin. The essential
oil significantly inhibited mycelial growth, with up to 98% inhibition for Fusarium solani and
73% for Alternaria alternata at 8 μL/mL. Insecticidal activity was most pronounced on adult
flies, followed by pupae and finally larvae.

Conclusion:
Tests on the essential oils of S. grandiflorus revealed promising characteristics as
insecticidal, antifungal, and antimicrobial agents. These results could be used in the development
of new solutions to control pathogens responsible for plant diseases and mycotoxin-producing
organisms.

Published: November 2024

Abstract:
Metallic nanoparticles, specifically silver nanoparticles, find huge applications in
health, medicine, and drug delivery. However, the physical and chemical synthesis methods pose
challenges regarding gener, action of toxic by-products, or high energy requirements. Hence
biosynthetic approaches have gained interest in the last few years utilizing various sources including
yeast, fungi, bacteria, or plant extracts containing reducing and capping agents like quercetin,
apocyanin, gallic acid, alkaloids, tannins, etc.
The present review would throw light on plant extracts containing such reducing and capping
agents for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles, including the phytofactors and physicochemical
parameters affecting the synthetic methods. Further characterization concerning the polydispersity
index (ranging from 0-1) and zeta potential values (stable nanoparticles with ranges >+30 mV or
<-30 mV) for improving stability would also be discussed. The potential and applications of silver
based nanohybrids or nanocomposites will be described. The antibacterial potential of silver nanoparticles
has been shown in previous reviews. Antifungal potential of biosynthetic silver nanoparticles
obtained from plant extracts like Croton sparsiflorus morong leaf extract or aqueous extract
of Phoenix dactylifera (date palm) pit evaluated on fungal strains will be illustrated in the present
review. The underlying mechanism for the antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles will also be
discussed.
At the conclusion, the list of patents on biosynthetic silver nanoparticles and the limitations and
regulatory guidelines for commercial production will be illustrated.
Acceptance and Use of eHealth in Support and Psychological Therapy for People With Intellectual Disabilities: Two Cross-Sectional Studies of Health Care Professionals
Authors: Oudshoorn Cathelijn , Frielink Noud , Riper Heleen , Embregts Petri 
Published: November 2024

Background
Acceptance of health care professionals is of paramount importance for the uptake and implementation of eHealth. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model is a widely used framework for studying health care professionals’ acceptance and actual use of eHealth among general client populations. However, there is limited understanding of the eHealth acceptance of health care professionals working with people with intellectual disabilities (ID).

Objective
This study aimed to explore the applicability of the UTAUT model toward understanding the acceptance, intention to use, and actual use of eHealth among support staff and therapists working with people with ID.

Methods
A total of 2 cross-sectional survey studies were conducted among health care professionals from 5 health care organizations for people with ID in the Netherlands in 2018 (n=311) and in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic (n=326). In addition to confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses to evaluate both the original UTAUT model and an extended version, descriptive analysis was used to explore participants’ characteristics, acceptance levels, and eHealth usage. Moderator analysis and multiple regression analysis were also used.

Results
A confirmatory factor analysis indicated a poor fit for both the original 4-factor UTAUT model and the extended version. An exploratory factor analysis was then conducted, resulting in a more satisfactory 5-factor model after removing 1 item with a factor loading <.40. Internal consistency of the 5 factors ranged from acceptable to good (Cronbach α=.76-.85). Collectively, all factors predicted the intention to use eHealth in 2018 (R2=0.47; F5,305=54.885; P<.001) and in 2021 (R2=0.43; F5,320=49.32; P<.001). Participants scored moderately on all 5 acceptance factors in both 2018 and 2021. Moderator analysis indicated that age and voluntariness influence the relationship between factors that determined acceptance and intention to use eHealth.

Conclusions
The findings from 2 cross-sectional studies conducted in 2018 and 2021, using an extended UTAUT model, gave a deeper understanding of eHealth acceptance among health care professionals who work with people with ID.
Bystander Response and Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Outcomes (Bro. Study) in 3 Gulf Countries: Protocol for a Prospective, Observational, International Collaboration Study
Authors: Farooq Munawar , Al Jufaili Mahmood , Hanjra Faisal K , Ahmad Shabbir , Dababneh Emad Hanna , Al Nahhas Omar , Bashir Khalid 
Published: November 2024

Background
: Globally, there is significant variation in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rate. Early links in the chain of survival, including bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator at the scene, are known to be of crucial importance, with strong evidence of increased survival rate with good neurological outcomes. The data from the Middle East are limited and report variable rates of bystander CPR and survival. It is crucial to get prospective, reliable data on bystander response in these regions to help plan interventions to improve bystander response and outcomes.

Objective
This international collaborative study aims to describe the characteristics, including bystander interventions and outcomes, of OHCAs brought to hospitals enrolled in the study from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; Doha, Qatar; and Muscat, Oman. It also aims to describe the strength of the association between bystander response and OHCA outcomes, including the return of spontaneous circulation, survival to hospital admission, survival to discharge, and good neurological outcome at discharge in the local context of low bystander CPR rates.

Methods
This multicenter, prospective, noninterventional observational study (Bro. Study) will be conducted at the emergency departments of 4 participating tertiary care hospitals in 3 countries. The data will be collected prospectively according to the Utstein style (a set of internationally accepted guidelines for uniform reporting of cardiac arrests) on demographic variables (age, sex, nationality, country, participating center, and comorbidities), peri–cardiac arrest variables (location, witnessed or not, bystander CPR, use of automated external defibrillator, time of emergency medical services arrival, initial rhythm, number of shocks, and time of prehospital CPR), and outcome variables (return of spontaneous circulation, survival to discharge, and neurological outcome at discharge and 3 months). Univariate and multivariate analysis with logistic regression models will be used to measure the strength of the association of bystander interventions with outcomes using SPSS (version 22).

Results
Data collection began in November 2023 and will continue for 2 years, with publication expected by early 2026.

Conclusions
Bystander response to an OHCA is critical to a favorable outcome. The reliable, baseline bystander CPR data will be a cornerstone in the team’s next planned projects, which are to qualitatively identify the barriers to bystander CPR, conduct a scoping review of community interventions in the Gulf and other Asian countries, and design and implement strategies to help improve the bystander CPR rate in the community.
