Published: April 2024

Pumpkin is a popular vegetable crop in Pakistan and India which is grown in rainy season. Numerous biotic and abiotic factors have an impact on this crop. Sphaerotheaca fuliginea is one of the biotic agents that poses a major risk to the crop, leading to significant losses in both quantity and quality. Applying nutritional supplements to strengthen resistance against pumpkin powdery mildew infection is an economical and ecologically sustainable approach to managing the disease. Three treatments including 1% potassium monophosphate, 1% potassium silicate, and their combination (1:1) given in the field have been tested in order to control the disease. The spraying procedure used before the inoculation revealed that the disease was infected. A maximum 49% decrease in disease was achieved in the control group when potassium silicate and mono potassium phosphate were combined. The distinctive effects of 1% potassium silicate and 1% potassium phosphate mono shown, for comparison control, a 43% and 39% lower incidence of disease, respectively. In the field, tests were conducted to determine the efficacy of three fungicide combinations: Bravo (chlorothainal), score (Difenaconzole), and Bravo + score. The standard concentration of each combination was tested against S. fuliginea. The disease control was reduced by 61% when the two fungicides were combined (Bravo+ score). Compared to the control, the partition effect score and Bravo produced a 56% and 54% reduction in disease, respectively. By choosing an appropriate formulation and application technique of nutritional supplements can be effectively used in inhibiting the growth of S. fuliginea.

Decentralized treatment systems are an alternative to the traditional centralized plants, which treat domestic effluent in big cities. Decentralization is important in areas that are far from the city center, and they can facilitate the reuse in the same building, transforming the place in a more sustainable region. These systems can be well applied in Knowledge-based urban development (KBUD) Parks, mainly the fourth-generation ones which also consider the environment as a keystone of development. Thus, our aim was to verify the decentralized greywater treatment system feasibility to produce non-potable water to be reused in an office at the International Hub for Sustainable Development (HIDS), a KBUD of fourth generation. In a bibliographic review Wetland was considered the best option and the cost-benefit analysis was carried out. Demand and production estimation of greywater (includes water from sources such as sinks, showers, bathtubs, washing machines, and kitchen appliances, except for water from toilets) was based on field collected data at University of Campinas (UNICAMP) departments. As a Result, the system is designed to treat 135 m³ of water per month, leading to saving 22.65 m³ per month of water. Monthly, economical saving will be US$ 415. Based on cost estimates, the savings generated would recover the system's initial investment in less than three months of use, having an internal rate of return (IRR) of 34.9% in 1 year. Thus, the cost-benefit is substantial, given that the return on investment is quick. Therefore, system is feasible and interesting from a sustainable perspective.

Import substitution policy in conditions of ensuring food security of the state
Authors: Матюшонок А.А. 
Published: April 2024

целью исследования является анализ обеспечения требуемого уровня продовольственной безопасности государства в контексте реализации политики импортозамещения. Современные условия хозяйствования требуют от производителя огромных усилий, необходимых как для удовлетворения спроса со стороны более требовательного потребителя, так и нахождения разумного баланса, позволяющего в условиях действия санкционных экономических режимов сохранять стабильность деятельности. Реализуемая государством политика импортозамещения призвана не только обеспечить требуемый объем необходимых продовольственных товаров и сельскохозяйственного сырья, но и в условиях продолжающегося давления сохранить конкурентоспособное производство, с учетом необходимости его развития. Современные реалии свидетельствуют о действенности выбранного пути, требующего дальнейших шагов, направленных на выстраивание партнерских отношений в рамках научно-технического и производственного развития предпринимательства. В связи с сокращением доходов населения, проблемы обеспечения продовольствием с целью удовлетворения возникающих запросов смещаются со стороны ассортиментного фактора к его экономической доступности. Так, все чаще потребитель находится в поиске товаров-субститутов, не имея необходимого объема финансовых средств. В данной связи, целесообразным является усиление мер государственной поддержки участников аграрного производства, что будет способствовать повышению доступности предлагаемых продовольственных товаров.
the purpose of the study is to analyze ensuring the required level of food security of the state in the context of the implementation of the import substitution policy. Modern economic conditions require enormous efforts from the manufacturer, necessary both to meet demand from a more demanding consumer, and to find a reasonable balance that allows maintaining stability of activity under the conditions of sanctions economic regimes. The import substitution policy implemented by the state is designed not only to provide the required volume of necessary food products and agricultural raw materials, but also, in the face of ongoing pressure, to maintain competitive production, taking into account the need for its development. Modern realities testify to the effectiveness of the chosen path, which requires further steps aimed at building partnerships within the framework of scientific, technical and industrial development of entrepreneurship. Due to the reduction in population incomes, the problems of providing food in order to satisfy emerging demands are shifting from the assortment factor to its economic accessibility. Thus, increasingly, the consumer is in search of substitute goods, without having the necessary amount of financial resources. In this regard, it is advisable to strengthen measures of state support for participants in agricultural production, which will help increase the availability of food products offered.
Rural Modernity in Britain: Landscape, Literature, Nostalgia
Authors: Bluemel Kristin 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Rural writers of the 1920s and 1930s bemoaned as they documented the blights upon landscape that Nan Fairbrother assigns to a post-World War II generation. This chapter argues that rural ‘middlebrow’ literature, represented by works of Richard Llewellyn, Mary Webb, Stella Gibbons, A. G. Street, Adrian Bell, H. E. Bates, Flora Thompson, and Francis Brett Young, constitutes a uniquely imaginative and creative response to rural modernity in Britain. It finds hope and wisdom in this literary past, analysing literary methods and cultural impacts of rural writers who confronted industrial landscape, mechanised farming, pylons in the countryside, urban housing in rural areas, and mass motorised leisure during the interwar years.
Linguistics in Schools: The English Past, Present, and Future
Authors: Hudson Richard 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis chapter considers the past, present and future of attempts to link linguistics to education in England, with occasional glances at other countries. It distinguishes top-down initiatives taken by governments, and bottom-up initiatives driven by linguists and teachers. It also considers the challenges and opportunities for those wanting to introduce linguistics into education, arguing that any linguist can make a serious contribution to education by doing what they do best: teaching undergraduates, researching, writing and scholarship. It ends on a note of optimism.
Investigating Metre through a Linguistic Lens in English Language Arts*
Authors: Keyser Beth R. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
While teaching English, two questions have repeatedly arisen: 1. How does one teach grammar that aligns with students’ linguistic intuitions? 2. How does one teach poetic meter in a way that is consistent, accessible, and instructive? The answer to the first question has been a guide to the second one. This chapter will focus on the latter question by pointing out the limitations of conventional textbook definitions of meter, discussing the ways in which scientific method in linguistics lends itself to helping students understand the difficult task of scanning meter, and describing the ways in which scientific thinking with linguistic theory can be blended in a series of lessons for high school students in an Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition class.

Published: April 2024

Ice conditions, low air temperatures, and remoteness are affecting the functionality and operations of offshore wind vessels. In addition, cold climates and ice have an impact on the economics of offshore wind installation and maintenance. Vessels without proper ice class have limited capabilities to perform their duties in icy conditions, which may, at worst-case scenarios, interrupt the construction or operation of wind farms. Nordic countries, compromising of Finland, Sweden, and Estonia, are in a planning phase to build more than 5,000 offshore windmills, that require year round operation that includes the lengthy ice season.
Vessels with proper ice class and design can perform their duties year-round, including in icy conditions, allowing wind farm construction season can be extended during the winter months.
ABB has comprehensive bridge-to-propeller solutions for various vessels operating in wind farms, from construction to operation and maintenance. Modern integrated power, control and propulsion technology will enable safety, efficiency, and flexibility for the newly built ice class offshore wind vessels.
This paper will discuss modern propulsion technology available for various vessels operating in offshore wind farms through case projects. Specific focus will be on vessels operating in ice conditions to meet the performance and ice operation needs.
Characterization Of First Metatarsal Regeneration After New Modern Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery. A Retrospective Radiographic Review Of 172 Cases.
Authors: Blitz Neal M. , Wong David T. , Grecea Bogdan , Baskin Eric S. 
Published: April 2024

Introduction First metatarsal regeneration (FMR) is a new phenomenon that occurs as a result of new minimally invasive bunion surgery (MIBS) and has yet to be studied. The goal of this investigation is to characterize bone healing and introduce a new classification system (3 Types). Methods A retrospective radiographic review between January 2018 to June 2021 was performed, identifying 172 feet (122 patients). A minimum of four months of follow-up was required to be included. We classified the extent of callus formation based on the relationship to the primary “anchor” screw. A FMR Type I involved callus medial to the screw, FMR Type II involved callus medial and lateral to the screw, and FMR Type III had robust callus with first metatarsal regeneration. Results Mean age was 46.6±14.6 years; 117 (95.9%) females and 5 (4.1%) males. Mean follow-up was 8.2±5.7 months. The FMR bone healing distributions were Type I (17.4%, 30 feet), Type II (42.4%, 73 feet), and Type III (40.1%, 69 feet). There was a statistically significant overall difference in both IMA and HVA, (P<0.001), which was maintained across all FMR types (I-III, p<0.0001 for all comparisons). No statistical significant correlation between FMR type and age, sex, laterality, operation on both or one foot, length of follow-up, and pre- and postop radiographic angles. The same FMR type occurred in bilateral surgery in 28% when performed on the same day, and 20% on different days; and these differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion This is the first investigation to provide patterns of healing after MIBS, and evidence that FMR does occur for all bunion severities. Surgeons considering performing MIBS should no longer fear that bone healing is not possible. Our classification will help guide future studies by comparing the FMR with different techniques, fixation types/constructs and/or weight bearing protocols.

Authors: Jongsuksiri Suchada , Kanokthet Thanach 
Published: April 2024

Background: Village Health Volunteers (VHVs) played vital role during the COVID-19 pandemic. They had to provide primary health care to people both with and without COVID-19.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess stress levels during the COVID-19 pandemic and factors affecting stress among VHVs in rural areas, in Thailand.
Method: A cross-sectional survey was employed in this study. A total of 204 samples were selected randomly with simple random sampling. They were village health volunteers who worked in rural areas (Phichit Province). The questionnaire consisted of five parts and was used to assess: (1) Personal factors (2) Work-related factors (3) Organizational factors (4) Health-related factors and (5) Stress levels developed by the Department of Mental Health (SPST- 20). Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis.
Results: Most of the respondents were female (74%), and the age of all respondents ranged from 47 to 58 years (37.7%). Nearly one-third (28.9%) were married. The majority of the respondents attained secondary school (76%) and were agriculturists (50.5%). Their annual income ranged from 50,000 to 100,000 baht ($1372.12 to $2744.24). Approximately two-third (63.2%) reported that they had been working as VHVs in the range of 5-15 years. Additionally, a high-stress level was reported with the highest proportion (41.16%). Regarding the multiple regression analysis, it was found that factors related to stress levels of the VHVs in rural areas were working condition (β = -1.649, p< 0.001), social support (β = 2.540, p< 0.001), psychological aspect (β = -4.233, p< 0.001), and physical aspect (β = 1.233, p< 0.001). These factors were utilized to predict 52.10% (R2 = 0.521, Adj. R2 = 0.512) of the stress levels during the COVID-19 pandemic among the VHVs.
Conclusion: Factors affecting stress levels of the VHVs in the rural areas were working conditions, social support, psychological aspect, and physical aspect.

Published: April 2024

Background: Colorectal cancers are third among the world's most common cancers. Among the top five most common malignancies in Thailand, colorectal cancer primarily affects the elderly but affects persons of all ages as well. In addition, its incidence is rising yearly.
Objectives: This retrospective cohort study aimed to describe the survival rate of Colorectal cancer patients in Thailand.
Methods: The study used secondary data from the Ministry of Public Health between 2013 and 2020, a total of 57,321 cases were enrolled. Descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis were performed by Cox regression analysis to observe survival rate estimate, Kaplan-Meier Survival estimate with 95% CI.
Results: Among the total participants, 51.28% were male. Female survival rate was 9% higher than male Colorectal cancer patients (HR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.86-0.94). The Colorectal cancer patients who were aged 61-70 years were more likely to pass away than patients aged £ 60 years (HR= 1.25, 95% CI:1.17- 1.34). Similarly, Colorectal cancer patients aged ≥70 years were more likely to have demise 1.58 times earlier than patients aged £ 60 years (HR= 1.58, 95% CI: 1.49-1.68).
Conclusion: The survival rate of patients with colorectal cancer was significantly affected by gender. In addition, age was one of the variables which is also statistically significant that impacted on the colorectal cancer patient survival rate. Therefore, the formulation of screening policies for colorectal cancer in targeted populations, particularly in elderly should be established to support colorectal cancer prevention and reduce the risk to achieve a greater health impact among them.

Authors: Nuchsai Thasanee , Sakphisutthikul Chutikan 
Published: April 2024

Background: Snack products are ubiquitous in modern dietary habits, and their sensory attributes play a critical role in consumer preferences. The texture of snacks is characterized by fracturability, hardness, and chewiness which influences consumer’s acceptance. This study focused on investigating the interplay between the physical properties of an extruded snack product and its sensory attributes.
Objectives: This present study aimed to explore the potential correlations between these texture profiles and sensory attributes.
Methods: Texture profile analysis was employed to measure the snack's fracturability, hardness, and chewiness. A panel of 100 participants was engaged in sensory evaluation, using a hedonic scale to rate the snack's attributes. Pearson's correlation coefficient was employed to investigate potential associations between the texture profile and sensory attributes.
Results: The physical properties, including fracturability (35.266±0.58 N), hardness (52.611±0.73 N), and chewiness (15.89±3.36) were determined through Texture Profile Analysis (TPA). Concurrently, sensory attributes were evaluated by a panel of 100 untrained assessors. The sensory ratings for fracturability (4.58±0.87), hardness (4.21±0.98), chewiness (3.87±1.25), appearance (4.30±1.06), overall tasting (4.15±0.61), overall liking (4.56±0.94), and overall acceptance (4.40±1.31) provide valuable insights into the product's sensory appeal. The correlation values between the TPA data and sensory were attributes of the extruded snack product. Pearson's correlation coefficients revealed significant relationships between physical properties and sensory attributes. Notably, fracturability exhibited a strong positive correlation with fracturability in sensory evaluation (r = 0.776, p < 0.05). Similarly, hardness demonstrated moderate positive correlations with both fracturability (r = 0.452, p < 0.05) and chewiness (r = 0.687, p < 0.05), while chewiness was moderately correlated with fracturability (r = 0.634, p < 0.05) and hardness (r = 0.769, p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The findings revealed valuable insights into the food industry, emphasizing optimizing texture characteristics to enhance snack products' sensory appeal and satisfy consumer preferences. Further study in this domain may explore additional factors influencing sensory perception and refine the snack’s textual attributes for enhanced consumer satisfaction.
