Master Trash System PM10 Emission Factors and Rates for Cotton Gins: Method 201A PM10 Sizing Cyclones
Authors: Buser Michael , Whitelock Derek , Boykin Clif , Holt Gregory 
Published: June 2024

This report is part of a project to characterize cotton gin emissions from the standpoint of stack sampling. The impetus behind this project was the urgent need to collect additional cotton gin emissions data to address current regulatory issues. A key component of this study was focused on EPA emission factors for particulate matter with a particle diameter nominally less than or equal to 10 µm (PM10). The 1996 EPA AP-42 emission factors were assigned quality ratings, from A (Excellent) to E (Poor), to assess the quality of the data being referenced. Emission factor quality ratings for cotton gins were extremely low. Cotton gin data received these low ratings because they were collected almost exclusively from a single geographical region. The objective of this study was to collect additional PM10 emission factor data for master trash systems at cotton gins located in regions across the cotton belt based on EPA-approved stack sampling methodology, Method 201A. The project plan included sampling seven cotton gins across the cotton belt. Key factors for selecting specific cotton gins included: 1) facility location, 2) production capacity, 3) processing systems, and 4) abatement technologies. Five of the seven gins had master trash systems. In terms of capacity, the five gins were typical of the industry, averaging 36.2 bales/h during testing. Some test runs were excluded from the test averages because they failed to meet EPA Method 201A test criteria. Also, other test runs, included in the analyses, had cotton lint fibers that collected in the ≤ 10 µm samples. This larger lint material can affect the reported emissions data, but EPA Method 201A does not suggest methods to account for these anomalies. The master trash system average emission factors for PM10 and total particulate were 0.056 kg/227-kg bale (0.123 lb/500-lb bale) and 0.152 kg/bale (0.335 lb/bale), respectively. The system average PM10 emission factor was higher and the system average total particulate emission factor was lower than those currently published in EPA AP-42. Master trash system PM10 emission rate test averages ranged from 1.39 to 4.18 kg/h (3.06-9.21 lb/h). The ratio of master trash system PM10 to total particulate was 36.9%.

The 1996 EPA AP-42 emission factors were assigned quality ratings, from A (Excellent) to E (Poor), to assess the quality of the data being referenced. Emission factor quality ratings for cotton gins were extremely low. Also, some commonly used cotton gin systems were not represented or were combined with another system under a single emission factor in AP-42. There were no 1996 EPA AP-42 emission factors published for 1st stage mote systems. The objective of this study was to collect PM10 emission factor data for 1st stage mote systems at cotton gins located in regions across the cotton belt based on EPA-approved stack sampling methodology, Method 201A. The project plan included sampling seven cotton gins across the cotton belt. Key factors for selecting specific cotton gins included: 1) facility location, 2) production capacity, 3) processing systems, and 4) abatement technologies. Five of the seven gins were equipped with 1st stage mote systems that were not combined with 2nd stage mote systems. In terms of capacity, the five gins were typical of the industry, averaging 28.8 bales/h during testing. Some test runs were excluded from the test averages because they failed to meet EPA Method 201A test criteria. Also, other test runs included in the analyses had cotton lint fibers that collected in the ≤ 10 µm samples. This larger lint material can affect the reported emissions data, but EPA Method 201A does not suggest methods to account for these anomalies. The 1st stage mote system average emission factors for PM10 and total particulate were 0.020 kg/227-kg bale (0.044 lb/500-lb bale) and 0.034 kg/bale (0.075 lb/bale), respectively. System average PM10 and total particulate emission factors were lower than those currently published in EPA AP-42 for 1st and 2nd stage mote systems combined. The 1st stage mote system PM10 emission rate test averages ranged from 0.15 to 0.94 kg/h (0.32-2.07 lb/h). The ratio of 1st stage mote system PM10 to total particulate was 59.1%.

Gossypium Lines Resistant to Rotylenchulus reniformis Vary in Sensitivity to the Herbicide Fluometuron
Authors: Stetina Salliana , Molin William 
Published: June 2024

Reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) resistance is being transferred to Gossypium hirsutum from its distant relatives. Reports of fluometuron damage to LONREN lines with nematode resistance from G. longicalyx raised concerns about introducing herbicide sensitivity from other nematode resistance sources. The research objective was to evaluate 15 sources of reniform nematode resistance for their reaction to fluometuron three weeks after planting in a replicated greenhouse trial: two G. herbaceum accessions, four G. arboreum accessions, three G. barbadense accessions, three G. hirsutum accessions, and three G. hirsutum lines with resistance introgressed from G. barbadense (FR-05) or G. longicalyx (LONREN-1 and LONREN-2). The control genotype was G. hirsutum cultivar Deltapine 161 B2RF. Across all herbicide rates tested, mean herbicide injury ratings for G. arboreum accessions were greater than the control, whereas G. barbadense GB 713 and TX 110 were less. Regression analysis of herbicide rates indicated that injury increased linearly with increasing herbicide rate for all accessions, although G. arboreum A2-083 had more injury than the control. Regression analysis of herbicide rates indicated that biomass decreased linearly with increasing herbicide rate for all accessions, although G. barbadense GB 713 and Pima PHY 800 exhibited greater biomass reduction than the control. Across all herbicide rates tested, mean electron transport rates of all G. herbaceum and G. arboreum accessions and G. barbadense Pima PHY 800 were lower than the control. The relationship between herbicide rate and electron transport rate was curvilinear, with similar decreases in electron transport rate in response to increasing herbicide concentration for all lines. Increased sensitivity to fluometuron could be introduced into G. hirsutum through crosses with distantly related species, but with the exception of G. arboreum A2-083, the lines did not respond to the herbicide differently from the control.

BACKGROUND
Coagulopathy and thromboembolic events are associated with poor outcomes in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. There is conflicting evidence on the effects of chronic anticoagulation on mortality and severity of COVID-19 disease.
AIM
To summarize the body of evidence on the effects of pre-hospital anticoagulation on outcomes in COVID-19 patients.
METHODS
A Literature search was performed on LitCovid PubMed, WHO, and Scopus databases from inception (December 2019) till June 2023 for original studies reporting an association between prior use of anticoagulants and patient outcomes in adults with COVID-19. The primary outcome was the risk of thromboembolic events in COVID-19 patients taking anticoagulants. Secondary outcomes included COVID-19 disease severity, in terms of intensive care unit admission or invasive mechanical ventilation/intubation requirement in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection, and mortality. The random effects models were used to calculate crude and adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs).
RESULTS
Forty-six observational studies met our inclusion criteria. The unadjusted analysis found no association between prior anticoagulation and thromboembolic event risk [n = 43851, 9 studies, odds ratio (OR)= 0.67 (0.22, 2.07); P = 0.49; I 2 = 95%]. The association between prior anticoagulation and disease severity was non-significant [n = 186782; 22 studies, OR = 1.08 (0.78, 1.49); P = 0.64; I 2 = 89%]. However, pre-hospital anticoagulation significantly increased all-cause mortality risk [n = 207292; 35 studies, OR = 1.72 (1.37, 2.17); P < 0.00001; I 2 = 93%]. Pooling adjusted estimates revealed a statistically non-significant association between pre-hospital anticoagulation and thromboembolic event risk [aOR = 0.87 (0.42, 1.80); P = 0.71], mortality [aOR = 0.94 (0.84, 1.05); P = 0.31], and disease severity [aOR = 0.96 (0.72, 1.26); P = 0.76].
CONCLUSION
Prehospital anticoagulation was not significantly associated with reduced risk of thromboembolic events, improved survival, and lower disease severity in COVID-19 patients.

Published: June 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma análise descritiva sobre a Ciranda Infantil do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), que é um segmento dentro do Setor de Educação do Movimento. Esse é o maior movimento social brasileiro de luta pela terra, e contra a ordem vigente estabelecida capitalista e para resistir e se legitimar. Eles têm como uma das suas principais bandeiras de luta a educação emancipadora através do trabalho e de uma educação popular voltada para o campo, Utilizamos como metodologia a pesquisa de natureza bibliográfica e a análise documental, e investigamos o surgimento do MST e a história de sua Ciranda Infantil. Nessa análise encontramos elementos de luta das mulheres e reivindicações femininas em prol de sua emancipação e dos cuidados pedagógicos para com seus filhos, fato coerente com as propostas que são defendidas por ele. Vale ressaltar que esse movimento social é um crítico da ordem vigente e busca evidenciar as desigualdades sociais e o massacre do povo do campo. Dentro do MST existem crianças e elas fazem parte do Movimento, são sujeitos de sua própria história, que acontece dentro do Coletivo. Assim como os demais sujeitos que o compõe, as crianças fazem parte da construção do movimento, também são sujeitos de sua própria história, e recebem um olhar emancipatório nas relações estabelecidas dentro desse movimento social.
Efficacy of Antiemetic Drugs in Preventing Nausea and Vomiting in Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia: A Systematic Review
Authors: Warda George 
Published: June 2024

Introduction Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a persistent clinical problem among many anesthetic patients who have undergone surgical operations. Approximately 20-50% of surgical patients develop PONV, which rises to about 80% for patients considered at high risk. Although antiemetic drugs have been widely accepted for treating PONV, conducting a systematic analysis to examine their efficacy to guide clinical decisions and enhance patient outcomes is critical. Methods This study employed a systematic review design. The information investigating the efficacy of antiemetic drugs was retrieved from various databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. Only cohort studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in English and conducted within the last five years were included. Results A pooled analysis of the six studies showed that PONV incidence for the experimental group was (OR 0.37, 95% CI: 0.28:0.40, P <.05). Most studies reported a significant drop in severe clinical symptoms, including nausea and vomiting after taking antiemetic drugs. Conclusion Most antiemetic drugs are effective in reducing the incidence of PONV. However, the efficacy varies from one medication to another, calling healthcare practitioners to be more diligent when treating severe forms of PONV.
The formation of criminal liability for the crime of aggression in international law at the end of the XIX - first half of the XX century
Authors: Bagandova Leila Zakirovna 
Published: June 2024

The subject of this study is an act of aggression as a crime, according to the provisions of international criminal and international humanitarian law. The article examines in detail the prerequisites for the formation of legal, in particular, international legal responsibility for the commission of acts of aggression. The author believes that the end of the XIX century became the starting point for the development of legal responsibility for the conduct of aggressive wars, as well as the nature of their conduct. Special attention is paid to the fact that the provisions enshrined in the Charter and the Verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal have become imperative norms of international law in terms of fixing international crimes, as well as the principles of responsibility for their commission. It is separately noted that the verdict of the Tribunal became an act of increased strength of the people against the commission of crimes of aggression. The research methodology includes the use of such methods of legal science as historical, formal legal, systemic, as well as methods of analysis and dialectics. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that the work is a comprehensive detailed study of the process of establishing international criminal responsibility for the crime of aggression in the period from the end of the XIX century to the first half of the XX century. The author analyzes the historical and legal aspects of this process, considering various international documents, agreements and events of that time. The special contribution of the author of the study is expressed in the fact that based on an extensive analysis, the author, through the prism of legal doctrines, international norms and historical reality of the time period under consideration, draws conclusions about what factors influenced the development of understanding of the crime of aggression and why the legal status of criminal responsibility in this area began to form at that time.

Background:Few national-level studies have evaluated the impact of ‘hybrid’ immunity (vaccination coupled with recovery from infection) from the Omicron variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).Methods:From May 2020 to December 2022, we conducted serial assessments (each of ~4000–9000 adults) examining SARS-CoV-2 antibodies within a mostly representative Canadian cohort drawn from a national online polling platform. Adults, most of whom were vaccinated, reported viral test-confirmed infections and mailed self-collected dried blood spots (DBSs) to a central lab. Samples underwent highly sensitive and specific antibody assays to spike and nucleocapsid protein antigens, the latter triggered only by infection. We estimated cumulative SARS-CoV-2 incidence prior to the Omicron period and during the BA.1/1.1 and BA.2/5 waves. We assessed changes in antibody levels and in age-specific active immunity levels.Results:Spike levels were higher in infected than in uninfected adults, regardless of vaccination doses. Among adults vaccinated at least thrice and infected more than 6 months earlier, spike levels fell notably and continuously for the 9-month post-vaccination. In contrast, among adults infected within 6 months, spike levels declined gradually. Declines were similar by sex, age group, and ethnicity. Recent vaccination attenuated declines in spike levels from older infections. In a convenience sample, spike antibody and cellular responses were correlated. Near the end of 2022, about 35% of adults above age 60 had their last vaccine dose more than 6 months ago, and about 25% remained uninfected. The cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection rose from 13% (95% confidence interval 11–14%) before omicron to 78% (76–80%) by December 2022, equating to 25 million infected adults cumulatively. However, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) weekly death rate during the BA.2/5 waves was less than half of that during the BA.1/1.1 wave, implying a protective role for hybrid immunity.Conclusions:Strategies to maintain population-level hybrid immunity require up-to-date vaccination coverage, including among those recovering from infection. Population-based, self-collected DBSs are a practicable biological surveillance platform.Funding:Funding was provided by the COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Pfizer Global Medical Grants, and St. Michael’s Hospital Foundation. PJ and ACG are funded by the Canada Research Chairs Program.
