Development of a Portable NIR Spectrometer for Detecting Pesticide Residues
Authors: Yaemsuk Natthasak , Yammen Suchart 
Published: June 2024

The problem of pesticide residues found in fruits and vegetables that exceed the standard is something that all sectors are interested in solving. The main reason is that farmers, consumers, and relevant authorities do not know the real-time value of the residues. The detection of the pesticide residues is not immediately known since it must have been carried out at the central laboratory, where the received result will also take so long time. To solve this problem, our research team has designed and developed a portable near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer. The developed NIR spectrometer is designed to not only detect the reflected intensity of the residues in the wavelength range from 410 [nm] to 940 [nm] using the AS7265x chipset, but also collect and analyze the normalized spectral signal using the microprocessor ESP32-WROVER-B for detecting each type of the four pesticide residues: Carbendazim, Cypermethrin, Diazinon, and Imidacloprid. From experimental results on forty pesticide residues on basil leaves and chili from the local market in Phitsanulok province, it was conclusively demonstrated that the NIR spectrometer correctly identifies a tested type of the four pesticide residues on the twenty-eight basil leaves and twenty chili, and has more stable, consistent and accurate performance for detecting the pesticide type of the forty residues than the thin-layer chromatography method utilized at the central laboratory. Furthermore, the developed NIR spectrometer exhibits remarkable versatility and the best performance of detecting each type of the four pesticide residues on the twenty-eight basil leaves and twenty-eight chili or the total fifty-six samples as well as a test run repeated 100 times per sample and at seven concentration levels. At the pesticide concentration levels of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg/l, the Accuracy, Precision and Recall values were perfect at 1.00 and standard deviation of zero in all cases. Also, the Accuracy value was greater than 0.98 and both the Precision and Recall values were greater than 0.97 with an overall standard deviation of less than 0.013 when detecting the two pesticide residue types at concentration levels of 0.05 and 0.1 mg/l. Overall, the results showed that the proposed NIR spectrometer correctly detects pesticide residues in the concentration range from 1 [mg/l] to 5 [mg/l]. As well, the total cost of the tests with the portable NIR spectrometer was about 4,395 Baht. This cost is very reasonable particularly when the price of the proposed portable NIR spectrometer is nearly half that of devices with identical specifications that are sold on the commercial market.

Trichinellosis is a parasitic disease caused by the nematode Trichinella spiralis that affects pigs globally, posing a risk to livestock and to human health. Trichinellosis is acquired by consuming undercooked or raw infected meat containing encysted larvae from pigs and other reservoir hosts. As the disease cannot be effectively treated with known medication, disinfection plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy, and hygienic environment on farms. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been proposed as an alternative approach due to their ability to inhibit microorganisms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of AgNPs against T. spiralis larvae. AgNPs were applied at concentrations of 100,200, 300, and 400 ppm for 4, 8, 16, and 24 hr to 45 larvae. The number of deaths was recorded, and the morphology of larvae was examined using H&E staining. The results showed that AgNPs with a size of 132.9 nm were effective against T. spiralis at a concentration of 100 ppm resulting in the lowest number of deaths (5 larvae or 11.11%) at 16 hr, while a concentration of 400 ppm of AgNPs achieved the highest number of deaths (40 larvae or 88.88%) at 24 hr. Additionally, the study revealed degenerative changes affecting the cuticle of AgNPs-treated T. spiralis with the destruction of stichocyte cells in the esophagus and the genital primordium cells which are reproductive cells. The results demonstrate the effective anthelmintic activity of synthesized AgNPs against Trichinella in vitro model, offering a promising alternative treatment for the elimination of the parasite.

Prenant appui sur une dialectique de repères théoriques multidisciplinaires et une démarche autobiographique de petit groupe (DAPG) comprenant huit récits de vie d’apprenantes inscrites aux études supérieures en travail social, les connaissances présentées dans ce texte montrent que l’identité professionnelle en travail social se construit et évolue au cours de l’ensemble du parcours de vie. Elle est traversée par de multiples tensions, à plusieurs niveaux, notamment entre l’identité personnelle et l’identité professionnelle, entre sa propre histoire de vie et celle des destinataires de l’intervention, et, enfin, entre les organisations et les personnes qui y travaillent. L’identité professionnelle se construit de deux points de vue : celui du sujet-acteur et celui d’autrui. Ainsi, la construction de l’identité professionnelle en travail social évolue entre le désir, le besoin et l’exigence de reconnaissance. Un schéma de la nouvelle théorisation de la construction de l’identité professionnelle en travail social est proposé, lequel constitue l’aboutissement de la DAPG.

Cet article présente une analyse de données secondaire réalisée à partir de 68 récits de vie de femmes ayant vécu des violences et des situations d’itinérance dans leur parcours de vie. Il se penche plus spécifiquement sur différentes tactiques de contrôle déployées par des partenaires intimes en contexte post-séparation, lesquelles ont eu pour effet de détériorer les conditions de vie de femmes. Les résultats illustrent : 1) les violences économiques perpétrées durant la relation intime et qui se sont poursuivies au-delà de la rupture pour maintenir le pouvoir sur les femmes, telles que les tactiques de contrôle des finances, des biens et des conditions de vie, 2) le harcèlement et les différentes stratégies pour priver les femmes de leur liberté en contexte post-séparation, 3) la manipulation exercée auprès des enfants et autour des enjeux liés à la garde de ces derniers et 4) la diffamation et les atteintes à la réputation des femmes afin d’étioler leur réseau de soutien, de réduire leurs possibilités d’emploi et de les disqualifier de certains rôles sociaux. Cet article offre différents repères afin de rendre visibles diverses stratégies coercitives et leurs effets sur les conditions de vie des femmes qui subissent des violences.
Enseigner la syntaxe en soutien à l’écriture en classe de FLS au secondaire : adaptation d’un dispositif didactique dans une perspective intégrée des langues
Authors: Quevillon Lacasse Claude 
Published: June 2024

Construire des phrases efficaces à l’écrit, syntaxiquement exactes et d’une certaine complexité, est au coeur de la compétence à écrire (Hayes et Flower, 1980; Berninger et Swanson, 1994). Cependant, l’amélioration de la syntaxe à l’écrit en français langue seconde (FLS) chez les élèves du secondaire en milieu anglophone constitue un défi : l’enseignement grammatical habituel, souvent basé sur des exercices mécaniques, ne semble pas porter fruit, et les élèves ne semblent pas transférer les habiletés syntaxiques qu’ils ont développées pour écrire en anglais, leur langue d’enseignement et souvent leur langue dominante, lorsqu’ils écrivent en français. Dans l’optique de trouver un moyen efficace d’améliorer les habiletés syntaxiques des apprenants de FLS, nous avons testé un dispositif didactique connu des milieux scolaires et universitaires américains, la combinaison de phrases libre (Saddler, 2019). Dans le cadre de notre thèse doctorale, nous avons adapté ce dispositif pour la classe de FLS en y ajoutant une touche d’enseignement intégré des langues, de façon à faire des ponts avec la syntaxe de l’anglais. Dans le cadre de cet article à visée didactique, nous décrirons ce dispositif d’enseignement de la syntaxe tel qu’il a été adapté pendant notre expérimentation.

The experiment was conducted to study the influence of fertilizers and bioinoculants on growth characteristics of guava cv. L-49 at Fruit Research Station Imaliya, Jawaharlal Nehru Agriculture University, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, during 2022-23 and 2023-24 on twelve-year-old guava trees planted at 3.0 m x 3.0 m spacing. The experiment was carried out in factorial RBD with three replications. The data revealed that different levels of nutrients and bioinoculants alone and in combinations significantly influenced the growth parameter. The maximum increase in plant height (12.16%) & (12.46%), canopy spread E-W (14.15%) & (14.45%), canopy spread N-S (14.33%) & (14.72%) and stem girth (11.19%) & (10.07%) were recorded in N2 (100%RDF), during both years of experimentation respectively. With respect of bioinoculants, the maximum plant height (11.48%) & (11.71%), canopy spread E-W (13.24%) & (13.61%), canopy spread N-S (14.05%) & (14.44%) and stem girth (9.72%) & (8.85%) were observed in B5 (Bactobooster 200 ml), during both years respectively. Among the treatment combinations, T10 (100% RDF + Bactobooster200ml) was found superior with respect of the maximum increase in plant height (12.86%) & (13.09%), in canopy spread E-W (15.77%) & (16.11%), canopy spread N-S (16.16%) & (16.66%) and in stem girth (12.54%) & (11.01%) during both the years of experimentation respectively followed by T15 (75% RDF + Bactobooster 200 ml) and minimum was recorded in control.
Assessment of Blood Ferritin and Vitamin D Levels in Patients Suffering from Myocardial Infarction to Determine Their Clinical Significance and Prognostic Value of Hematological Markers in Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Meta-analysis

Published: June 2024

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cardiovascular illness that causes death as well as disability on a global scale. Understanding how vitamin D contributes to the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still of interest. Although vitamin D has been recognised as a potentially significant CVD marker, it is still unclear how vitamin D deficiency causes endothelial dysfunction, which in turn causes myocardial infarction and stroke. This review's objective is to present an updated analysis of the research on the fundamental science underlying vitamin D's potential effects on the cardiovascular system.
Ferritin is associated with unfavourable outcomes in individuals with a variety of clinical diseases, assessment for ferritin may be beneficial. Our goal was to carry out the first comprehensive analysis of the correlation between elevated ferritin levels and worse cardiovascular outcomes in individuals suffering from acute myocardial infarction (AMI).In patients with AMI, both low and high ferritin levels were linked to how long they spent in the hospital during their hospital stay and at longer follow-up. Ferritin assessment is a straightforward test that may be used to identify AMI patients at high risk who may benefit from more frequent follow-up and specific therapy. Regarding the state of modern treatments for AMI and heart failure, these findings ought to be validated by extensive clinical trials.
This review also discuss the role of hematological indices: Total white blood cells (WBC) count, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR),eosinophil leucocyte ratio, diffrential lecocyte count, absolute values of WBCs, red cell distribution width (RDW), and platelet indices, such as , mean platelet volume (MPV),platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and platelet distribution width (PDW) etc and its diagnostic and prognostic value in MI and its complications which may shed fresh light on developing new treatment plans on MI patients and help doctors in the diagnosis and prognosis with or without complications.

Published: June 2024

There are numerous methods for estimating the water requirements of crops. However, the FAO Penman-Monteith Method has been adopted worldwide but it lacks spatial variability. The accuracy can be improved by adopting VI based method. Therefore, the present study was planned to investigate the use of vegetation indices (VIs) as a surrogate of crop coefficients in place of tabulated crop coefficients and find the best VI in the case of onion crops which require the amount of water. The study was conducted in 3 districts of Maharashtra i.e. Nashik, Dhule, and Jalgaon where onion is a major rabi crop grown on a large scale, for two consecutive rabi seasons of the year 2020-21 and 2021-22. Multitemporal vegetation indices such as NDVI, NDWI, SAVI, MSAVI2, and RVI were estimated using temporal images of Sentinel 2A satellite during the growth period of onion and week-wise values were obtained by using ERDAS Imagine. Linear regression was applied on VI values versus Kc recommended by MPKV, Rahuri which resulted in linear models. NDWI-Kc model showed the strongest relation with high R2 values. The spatial crop evapotranspiration (ETc) was then calculated by applying this model. For the 2020–21 growing season, the total crop evapotranspiration for onions in Dhule, Jalgaon and Nashik was calculated to be 486.5 mm, 482.7 mm, and 488.7 mm, respectively. Whereas during 2021–22, it was estimated to be 493.7 mm, 473.9 mm, and 477.2 mm, respectively in these districts. For getting water demand crop evapotranspiration values were multiplied by the acreage estimated by remote sensing. Total water demand for rabi onion for the districts Dhule, Jalgaon and Nashik was found to be 70.54 Mm3, 43.8 Mm3 and 693.2 Mm3, respectively and 128.1 Mm3, 33.9 Mm3, and 825.7Mm3 respectively for the years 2020-21 and 2021-22, respectively.

AbstractA sheet‐type Braille display operating at 4 V has been successfully fabricated by integrating organic an static random‐access memory (SRAM) array with carbon nanotube (CNT)‐based actuators that are driven by organic thin‐film transistors (control‐TFTs). The on current of organic control‐TFTs that drive CNT actuators exceeds 3 mA, the mobility exceeds 1 cm2 V−1s−1, and the on/off ratio exceeds 105 at an operational voltage of 3 V. By adjusting the process time for the formation of the aluminum oxide dielectrics, the threshold voltage of the organic TFTs can be systematically controlled. This technique leads to an improved static noise margin of the SRAM and enables its stable operation with a short programming time of 2 ms at a programming voltage of 2 V. As a demonstration of the operation of one actuator with one control‐TFT and SRAM: the displacement of actuator exceeds 300 μm at an operation voltage of 4 V, which is large enough for a blind person to recognize the pop‐up of braille dots. Integrating the SRAM array reduces the frame rate of a 12 dot × 12 dot display from 1/21.6 s to 1/2.9 s.
Deletion and duplication of 11p13‐11p14: Reciprocal aberrations derived from a paternal insertion

Published: September 2011

AbstractMore than 100 cases of deletions that span 11p13‐11p14 resulting in WAGR syndrome have been reported in the literature. In contrast, reports of duplications spanning this region are extremely rare. We here report on a deletion of 11p13‐11p14 identified in a neonate with severe congenital anomalies including genitourinary abnormalities and aniridia, and the reciprocal duplication identified in his healthy older sibling. Both were derived from a paternal balanced insertion of the 11p region into 18q. The deletion and duplication were characterized by G‐banding, FISH and array CGH, and are estimated to include approximately 5.5–5.8 Mb. This single family report highlights the mild phenotypes that can be associated with duplications of chromosomal regions, even those that are larger than 5 Mb and harbor known disease‐related genes, and highlights the impact of identifying balanced carrier status in a parent for accurate genetic counseling. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractProgeria syndromes are rare disorders that involve premature aging. Mutations in BANF1 have been recently reported to cause a new hereditary progeroid syndrome that we now propose to call the Néstor–Guillermo progeria syndrome (NGPS). We describe herein the clinical features of the first two NGPS patients, who phenocopy features of classic progerias (i.e., Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome or mandibuloacral dysplasia), such as aged appearance, growth retardation, decreased subcutaneous fat, thin limbs, and stiff joints. However, these NGPS patients have a distinctive phenotype. In their early adulthood (32 and 24 years of age), they have no signs of cardiovascular impairment, diabetes mellitus, or hypertriglyceridemia. In contrast, they suffer profound skeletal abnormalities that affect their quality of life. The observed differences are of utmost importance to patients and their families and palliation of osseous manifestations is a priority, given their relatively long lifespan. We define NGPS as a chronic progeria because of its slow clinical course and relatively long survival, despite its early onset. Understanding the differences between progeria syndromes might contribute to the development of treatment strategies for common skeletal conditions, as well as aging itself. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: September 2011

AbstractTrisomy 21, the chromosomal condition responsible for Down syndrome (DS, OMIM #190685), is the most common identifiable genetic cause of intellectual disability. Approximately half of all children with DS are born with a significant congenital heart defect (CHD), the most common of which is an atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD). As children with comorbid DS and CHD increasingly survive cardiac surgery, characterization of their early developmental trajectories is critical for designing early interventions to maximize individual potential. Herein, the developmental domains (cognitive, language, and motor) of children with DS and AVSD (DS + AVSD, n = 12) were compared to children with DS and a structurally normal heart (DS − CHD, n = 17) using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development III. The DS + AVSD cohort mean age was relatively the same as controls with DS − CHD, 14.5 ± 7.3 months compared with 14.1 ± 8.4 months, respectively. Although the motor domain was the only domain that showed a statistically significant difference between groups (P < 0.05), both cognitive standard scores (P = 0.63) and language composite standard scores (P = 0.10) were lower in the DS + AVSD cases compared with the DS − CHD controls although it is not statistically significant. Since this is the first study to examine the early developmental outcomes of children with DS + AVSD, the findings may be useful for clinicians in providing anticipatory guidance. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Habitat heterogeneity in eelgrass fish assemblage diversity and turnover
Authors: Robinson Clifford L.K. , Yakimishyn Jennifer , Dearden Philip 
Published: September 2011

ABSTRACT

Maintaining habitat diversity and heterogeneity are key ecological elements of marine spatial planning. It is often assumed that patches of the same habitat harbour similar biological diversity. However, if habitat heterogeneity is high then the efficacy of habitats as surrogates of species diversity is weakened.
Beta diversity variation in fish assemblages in eelgrass meadows along the Pacific coast of Canada was analysed using permutational multivariate analysis of variance and tests for dispersion of homogeneity. Variations in species composition were examined at an inter‐regional scale (100 s of km apart) and an intra‐regional scale (10s of km apart) over 7 years. Further, similarity percentage analysis and biological‐environmental modelling were used to identify factors that differentiated among fish assemblages. Beta diversity turnover was also considered by examining for the decay in fish assemblage similarity across gradients in sea surface temperature, salinity, and physical distance between pairs‐of‐meadows using linear regression.
Patches of eelgrass meadows exhibited high fish assemblage dissimilarity at both the intra‐regional and inter‐regional scales; spatial factors accounted for substantially more variation in fish composition than temporal factors. A large number of fish species (20–30) and different suites of environmental factors accounted for the observed high beta diversity variation. Fish composition similarity did not decay consistently within each region with physical distance between meadows or with a change of 1°C in temperature, but Jaccard similarity did decay significantly within each region by 2–4% per part per thousand change in salinity.

It is recommended that marine protected area planners consider the influence of freshwater flow into the coastal ocean and its subsequent impact on environmental gradients, which drives fish assemblage heterogeneity among eelgrass habitat patches.
