Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background: Quality in the rice value chain encompasses a wide range of features and attributes that are defined by consumers based on their food preferences and habits.
Scope and approach: we chose two aromatic basmati, one aromatic non-basmati and one non-aromatic rice genotypes for grain quality studies. Then we analyzed grain quality based on (i) morphological and physical parameters, (ii) biochemical traits, and (iii) grain quality gene expression analysis.
Key findings and conclusion: aromatic basmati genotypes and non-aromatic genotype shared similarities, whereas aromatic non-basmati genotype exhibited dissimilarities in terms of morphological traits. Aromatic basmati genotypes exhibited superior grain quality and yield traits, including elevated panicle length, high 1000-grain weight, extra-long slender grain, high grain elongation ratio (>1.6), strong aroma, soft gel consistency, high alkali spreading value and intermediate amylose content as compared to both aromatic non-basmati and non-aromatic genotypes. Gene expression analysis revealed that Aromatic basmati genotypes exhibit low expression level of GS3 gene but high expression level of GBSSIgene. Aromatic non-basmati genotypes, on the other hand, showed high expression level of GS3 gene and low expression level of GBSSI gene. Non-aromatic genotype had 8 fold lower expression level of GBSSI gene and 8 fold higher expression level of GS3 gene as compared to aromatic basmati (PB-1121) genotype. Aromatic non-basmati genotype showed 64 fold higher expression level of GS3 gene as compared to aromatic basmati (PB-1121) genotype.

Authors: Crispim Gilberto , Alberton Luiz , Rodrigues Raimundo Nonato 
Published: July 2024

Objective: To present a proposal on a set of performance indicators that can be used in audits of state audit courts to assess the effectiveness of budget spending on public health.
Methodology: This is quantitative research, with the application of statistical techniques related to Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in two stages and estimation of linear longitudinal regression models for strongly balanced short panel data, on the budget expenditures made in the period from 2015 to 2019 by the States and the Federal District on public health.
Results: It was found that there is no use of performance indicators in the elaboration and execution of Multi-Annual Plans (MAPs) by governments to evaluate the effectiveness of spending on public actions; that the mention of "performance indicators" refers exclusively to percentages to compare what was accomplished in relation to what was predicted; that records of duplicate public actions were found in the MAPs by some entities, and that overvaluation was identified in the records of the resources provided for in most of the MAPs. The degree of statistical explanation of the proposed set of indicators reached an average of 87% of statistical confidence. None of the public entities was 100% effective in the expenditures made. 69% of the auditors of the Courts of Auditors legitimized the set of indicators proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of state public health spending. Finally, it is concluded that the proposed performance evaluation indicators can be used to verify the effectiveness of state public health spending.
Contributions of the study: It presents performance indicators, created by means of a statistical method, to evaluate the effectiveness of spending on state public health, since the specialized literature indicates little or no discussion about it. It indicates that the actions included in the MAPs are not audited by the courts of auditors and that the legislative branch is silent in the supervision between what is foreseen and what is carried out, considering that there are repeated and overvalued actions.

Authors: Tang Yiyin , Li Li , Wang Guoqin , Liu Dan , Yang Yinju , Yang Jinyan , Hua Lin , Li Ruilei , Ge Chunlei , Yao Hong , Li Ke 
Published: July 2024

Background:
Spindle cell carcinoma (SCC) of the breast is a rare type of metaplastic carcinoma with poor prognosis, high recurrence, and distant metastasis. Mammectomy,
chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy are the preferred choices of treatments.
Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy, which utilizes the patient's immune cells from
the solid tumor micro-environment to eradicate cancer cells, has shown promising results in
treating advanced solid tumors. However, its use for SCC of the breast has not been reported.

Case Presentation:
Here, we present a case of combining TIL therapy with personalized
chemotherapy and endocrine therapy for the treatment of SCC of the breast. A 36-year-old
Chinese woman presented with a palpable nodule (32 mm) on her left breast. Based on histological and immunohistochemical analysis of breast biopsy and surgical specimens, she was
diagnosed with SCC of the breast (stage IIA). The patient received concurrent personalized
chemotherapy, TIL therapy, and endocrine therapy following mammectomy. She showed no
severe side effects during therapy, and did not present local recurrence or distant metastasis after follow-up for at least 14 months

Conclusion:
To our knowledge, this is the first case report, which demonstrated that TIL therapy combined with chemotherapy/endocrine therapy after mastectomy is safe and effective for
SCC of the breast.

Introduction:
Recently, there has been a notable increase in interest in various forms
of vegetarianism, which may be due to the growing prevalence of health issues, such as Type 2
Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Adhering to a vegan diet may have positive health outcomes. As a
result, we conducted a review article to gather data from previous research studies on the effects
of a vegan diet on different aspects of managing patients with T2DM.

Methods:
We searched the PubMed website for research studies on how a vegan diet affects the
outcomes of patients with T2DM. The research studies were categorized according to the type
of data collected, such as prevalence, incidence, body weight, insulin resistance, glycemic control,
and lipid profile.

Results:
It was found that following a vegetarian diet can significantly reduce the risk of mortality
from heart disease. Additionally, studies have demonstrated that a vegetarian diet is linked
to several improvements in T2DM. However, long-term weight loss plans and managing T2DM
is a comprehensive intervention that includes caloric restriction, exercise, and behavioral modification.

Conclusion:
Incorporating a vegan diet can be a valuable factor to consider in managing
T2DM, as it can offer numerous benefits, such as increased insulin sensitivity, weight loss, and
reduced blood sugar levels. It helps to reduce cholesterol levels, LDL, and triglyceride levels,
which are all risk factors associated with T2DM. By reducing these risk factors, the vegan diet
can improve the overall health of T2DM patients.

Published: July 2024

Introduction:
When the superior power grid fails and loses power, due to the traditional
single power supply radial grid structure of low-voltage substation areas, all loads in the lowvoltage
substation area will lose power, causing a poor electricity consumption experience for
low-voltage users. To enhance the resilience of low-voltage distribution areas against faults and
power outages from higher-tier power grids, a collaborative planning and comprehensive evaluation
method for grid-forming energy storage systems (GFM-ESS) and flexible interconnection in
distribution networks, considering island operation, is proposed.

Method:
This method integrates GFM-ESS and flexible interconnections, taking islanding operations
into account. Firstly, the structure of GFM-ESS and voltage source converters is analyzed.
The control modes of GFM-ESS in parallel or off-grid scenarios are also scrutinized. Secondly,
minimizing the annual comprehensive cost and the annual power outage load are the objective
functions. A bilevel programming model for GFM-ESS and flexible interconnection of lowvoltage
distribution networks, considering island operation, has been established. Moreover, a
comprehensive evaluation method based on the analytic hierarchy process for proposed lowvoltage
distribution network structural schemes is introduced. An evaluation index system is established
to assess the rationality of these proposed network structural planning schemes. Finally,
the superiority of the proposed collaborative planning method is verified through a comparative
analysis of three planning methods.

Result:
The proposed collaborative planning method can effectively ensure the continuous power
supply of low-voltage distribution networks under the fault scenario of the upper power network.

Conclusion:
Moreover, the rationality of the results obtained from the proposed collaborative
planning method is verified through a comprehensive evaluation method of grid structure schemes
based on the analytic hierarchy process. The proposed comprehensive evaluation method can determine
which two areas are optimal for grid planning.

result:
The superiority of the proposed collaborative planning method was verified by comparative analysis of three planning methods. And the rationality of the proposed collaborative planning method results was verified by the comprehensive evaluation method of grid structure schemes based on analytic hierarchy process.

Authors: Amira Naifasanti Pradnyasistha  , Sudiarso  
Published: July 2024

Stevia merupakan tanaman penghasil pemanis alami yang bebas kalori dan bersifat antioksidan dan non karsinogenik. Untuk menghindari defisiensi unsur hara, kegiatan pemupukan dilakukan untuk menyediakan nutrisi dalam tanah. Salah satu pupuk yang dapat digunakan adalah organomineral. Namun informasi mengenai perbandingan dosis pupuk organomineral dan pupuk anorganik yang tepat belum cukup banyak. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pupuk organomineral dalam meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan hasil stevia dibandingkan dengan pupuk anorganik dan pupuk kandang sapi. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret hingga Mei 2023 di Desa Dadaprejo, Kecamatan Junrejo, Kota Batu, Jawa Timur. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan rancangan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan 9 taraf perlakuan dan 3 kali ulangan. Perlakuan yang digunakan antara lain P0 (Tanpa pupuk), P1 (Organomineral 600 kg ha-1), P2 (Organomineral 1200 kg ha-1), P3 (Organomineral 1800 kg ha-1), P4 (Organomineral 2400 kg ha-1), P5 (NPK 50 kg ha-1 + Urea 50 kg ha-1), P6 (NPK 100 kg ha-1 + Urea 100 kg ha-1), P7 (NPK 150 kg ha-1 + Urea 150 kg ha-1), P8 (NPK 200 kg ha-1 + Urea 200 kg ha-1). Adapun variabel tanaman yang diamati meliputi tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, luas daun, jumlah cabang bobot segar daun bobot kering daun, dan kadar gula. Data pengamatan yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan anova dan dilanjutkan dengan uji lanjut DMRT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan organoomineral dosis 2400 kg ha-1 mampu meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman stevia lebih tinggi dibandingkan pupuk anorganik dan tanpa pemupukan, kecuali dosis pupuk NPK 150 kg ha-1 + Urea 150 kg ha-1 dan NPK 200 kg ha-1 + Urea 200 kg ha-1. Pupuk organomineral dengan dosis tertinggi menghasilkan kadar gula 6,33% lebih tinggi dibandingkan tanpa pemupukan. Pupuk organomineral dapat digunakan untuk mengurangi penggunaan pupuk anorganik dalam memenuhi kebutuhan unsur hara tanaman.

Barriers to, and Facilitators of, Checking Drugs for Adulterants in the Era of Fentanyl and Xylazine: Qualitative Study
Authors: Aronson Ian David , Ardouin-Guerrier Mary-Andrée , Baus Juan Esteban , Bennett Alex S 
Published: July 2024

BackgroundOverdose deaths continue to reach new records in New York City and nationwide, largely driven by adulterants such as fentanyl and xylazine in the illicit drug supply. Unknowingly consuming adulterated substances dramatically increases risks of overdose and other health problems, especially when individuals consume multiple adulterants and are exposed to a combination of drugs they did not intend to take. Although test strips and more sophisticated devices enable people to check drugs for adulterants including fentanyl and xylazine prior to consumption and are often available free of charge, many people who use drugs decline to use them.ObjectiveWe sought to better understand why people in the New York City area do or do not check drugs before use. We plan to use study findings to inform the development of technology-based interventions to encourage consistent drug checking.MethodsIn summer 2023, team members who have experience working with people who use drugs conducted 22 semistructured qualitative interviews with a convenience sample of people who reported illicit drug use within the past 90 days. An interview guide examined participants’ knowledge of and experience with adulterants including fentanyl, xylazine, and benzodiazepines; using drug testing strips; and whether they had ever received harm reduction services. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed for emerging themes.ResultsMost participants lacked knowledge of adulterants, and only a few reported regularly checking drugs. Reasons for not checking included lacking convenient access to test supplies, or a place to check samples out of the public’s view, as well as time considerations. Some participants also reported a strong belief that they were not at risk from fentanyl, xylazine, or other adulterants because they exclusively used cocaine or crack, or that they were confident the people they bought drugs from would not sell them adulterated substances. Those who did report testing their drugs described positive interactions with harm reduction agency staff.ConclusionsNew forms of outreach are needed not only to increase people’s knowledge of adulterated substances and awareness of the increasing risks they pose but also to encourage people who use drugs to regularly check their substances prior to use. This includes new intervention messages that highlight the importance of drug checking in the context of a rapidly changing and volatile drug supply. This messaging can potentially help normalize drug checking as an easily enacted behavior that benefits public health. To increase effectiveness, messages can be developed with, and outreach can be conducted by, trusted community members including people who use drugs and, potentially, people who sell drugs. Pairing this messaging with access to no-cost drug-checking supplies and equipment may help address the ongoing spiral of increased overdose deaths nationwide.
