Published: April 2024

Organic farming in the Philippines is taking a toll in establishing its sustainability in the market due to varying factors. This study determined the adoption of organic farming in the Visayas area, Philippines, A.Y. 2020 with the end view of formulating an empowerment development model for farmers. The study utilized the multi research method with the use of researcher-made questionnaire as the main instrument in data gathering. Both quantitative and qualitative data was used in ascertaining the factors that influenced the adoption of organic farming in Visayas. There were thirty-five (35) respondents who were the farmers from the selected organic farms in Visayas, both in Region VI-Western Visayas and Region VII-Central Visayas. These farms are accredited by a third-party accrediting body of the Department of Agriculture. Convenience sampling technique was used where the participants were selected based on their availability and their willingness to take part of the study. The main instrument used in gathering the data was research-designed and had undergone content validation and pilot testing to ascertain their functionality and reliability. For data analysis weighted mean, chi-square test of independence and One-Way ANOVA. Land size, soil quality, farmer’s level of education and labor demand techniques influenced the farmers in adopting organic farming at a moderate extent. The organic farmers moderately practiced soil management, weed control techniques, crop diversification, fertilization, irrigation and harvesting. There is a significant relationship between the type of respondents and the extent of influence of land-size to the farmers toward adopting organic farming and there is also another significant relationship between cooperative membership of the respondents and the extent of influence of labor demand techniques towards the farmer’s decision to engage in organic farming. However, there is no significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and the farming practices they employed in their organic farming activity. There is no significant difference between the responses of the respondents on the extent of influence of the factors like land-size, soil quality, farmer’s level of education and labor demand techniques to the farmers in their inclination to adopt organic farming and the organic farming practice that used in their organic farming by activity Despite of a good market opportunity of organic farming, there was just a gradual conversion of the farmers from organic farming to conventional farming even though the country is doing some initiatives to push for the sustainability of organic farming industry. Likewise, the growing demand for organic produce in the market, the farmers in Region VI and VII have shown hesitation towards full adoption and had not applied the ideal farming practices at a maximum level to ensure that their activity addresses the vulnerability of the environment vis-a-vis fulfilling the commitment to provide healthy and nutritious crops to the consumers.

Published: April 2024

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have grown into a more powerful type of data transmission due to this rapid progress of evolution of wireless communication technology. In addition, UAVs have been proven to be effective in a variety of applications, including intelligent transport, disaster risk management, surveillance, and environmental monitoring. When UAVs are deployed randomly, however, they can effectively accomplish challenging tasks because of the UAVs’ has low battery capacity, quick mobility, and dynamic in nature orientation. Due to this reason, a new technique must be designed for an optimal energy efficient UAV clustering as well as data routing protocols. In this work proposes a new hybrid model of Emperor penguin-based Generalized Approximate Reasoning Based Intelligent Control (EP-GARIC) cluster-based network topology. Furthermore, the optimal routing function is achieved by the proposed Artificial Jellyfish Optimization (AJO). The implementation of this research is carried out using Network Simulator (NS2). The simulation results displays the effective performance of the suggested approach in terms of reduced energy consumption, improved packet delivery ratio, reduced loss, and so on over compared to the conventional approaches.

Published: April 2024

Introduction:
Distinguishing between septic arthritis and crystal arthropathy flares can be challenging. The purpose of this study was to determine how the presence of synovial crystals affects the diagnostic criteria of septic arthritis.

Methods:
A retrospective review identified patients undergoing joint aspirations to rule out native septic arthritis. Differences between septic arthritis presenting with and without synovial crystals were analyzed. A receiver-operating characteristic curve was plotted for laboratory markers to determine the area under the curve, or diagnostic accuracy, for septic arthritis and to evaluate thresholds that maximized sensitivity and specificity.

Results:
There were 302 joint aspirations in 267 patients. Septic arthritis was diagnosed in 17.9% (54/302). Patients with synovial crystals were less likely to have septic arthritis (4.2% [5/119] vs. 26.8% [49/183], P < 0.0001). Septic arthritis in patients with no synovial crystals was associated with fever and a higher synovial white blood cell (WBC) count, synovial polymorphonuclear cell percentage (PMN%), serum WBC, and C-reactive protein (CRP) (P < 0.05). Septic arthritis in patients with synovial crystals was only associated with inability to bear weight and a higher synovial WBC and CRP (P < 0.05). Synovial PMN% was considered nondiagnostic of septic arthritis (area under the curve 0.56) in patients with crystals while synovial WBC and CRP had acceptable (0.76) and excellent (0.83) diagnostic utility, respectively. The WBC and CRP value thresholds that maximized sensitivity and specificity for septic arthritis were greater in patients with crystals (21,600 vs. 17,954 cells/μL and 125 vs. 69 mg/L, respectively).

Discussion:
The presence of synovial crystals reduced the likelihood of septic arthritis and altered the laboratory diagnostic criteria. PMN% was nondiagnostic in the setting of synovial crystals.

Hard Worker versus Pretty Eyes. Evaluating the Numerical and Substantive Representation of Flemish Ministers in Newspaper Articles
Previous research shows that female politicians receive less media coverage and that articles refer more often to women’s family life, gender, personality, age and appearance. However, most research focuses solely on women as electoral candidates and is limited to campaign periods. Applying a broader timeframe is vital as voters’ perceptions of politicians are mainly constructed during routine periods. And the question arises whether women occupying elite positions in politics encounter the same media bias. This article addresses both shortcomings by conducting a longitudinal quantitative and qualitative content analysis of 4,298 individual mentions of Flemish ministers in 3,528 newspaper articles during three distinct periods of the political cycle. Contrary to the numerical female underrepresentation among candidates, our findings suggest that the media tends to overrepresent female ministers. Furthermore, we notice a strong focus on women’s gender throughout the political cycle and their physical appearance during election periods.

Published: April 2024

O método dos elementos de contorno (MEC) é usado para obter os parâmetros críticos de flambagem em placas perfuradas. As placas são de geometria quadrada com furo quadrado central. A compressão é unidirecional e uniformemente aplicada em bordas opostas. Os valores para parâmetros de flambagem são obtidos para várias espessuras. O efeito da deformação por cortante é incluído no modelo de flexão de placas isotrópicas. O efeito da não linearidade geométrica é introduzido com a adição de duas integrais na formulação do MEC: uma é aplicada no domínio e a outra no contorno. A integral de contorno pode ser relacionada a uma das condições naturais de acordo com o problema de valor de contorno. Elementos de contorno quadráticos contínuos e descontínuos foram utilizados. Os pontos de colocação foram posicionados no contorno. A subtração de singularidade e a técnica da transformação de variáveis foram utilizadas para as singularidades de tipo Cauchy e fraca, respectivamente, quando é realizada a integração em elementos contendo o ponto de colocação. Células retangulares foram utilizadas para discretizar a integral de domínio relacionada com o efeito da não linearidade geométrica. Os resultados foram comparados com outros autores.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Update and Review
Authors: Jiménez-Contreras Susana , Garcia-Garcia Alberto 
Published: April 2024

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune-mediated clinicopathological condition characterized by symptoms of esophageal dysfunction (dysphagia and food impaction) along with esophageal biopsies showing an eosinophilic infiltrate in the mucosa of 15 or more eosinophils per 0.3 mm3 field, excluding other causes of esophageal eosinophilia. Its prevalence has tripled in the last 10 years. This increase cannot solely be attributed to the rise in gastroscopies performed or greater awareness of the disease among health professionals. It is more common in men, particularly in Western countries, and can be associated with other allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, or atopic dermatitis. Diagnosis is based on the histological examination of esophageal biopsies. Various treatments are available, including proton pump inhibitors, corticosteroids, empiric exclusion diets, or biological drugs. Disease progression can lead to esophageal fibrosis and strictures that may necessitate treatment with endoscopic dilation.

Published: April 2024

The global prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection remains high, posing a significant health challenge worldwide. The efficacy of anti-H. pylori antibiotic-based regimens is compromised by the increasing antibiotic resistance in H. pylori. Thus, it is important to detect antibiotic resistance in H. pylori to ensure appropriate and effective treatment strategies. Currently, conventional culture-based methods are used for detecting antibiotic resistance (so-called phenotypic resistance) in H. pylori, but these methods are tedious and time-consuming (at least 72 h) and rely on the successful culture of H. pylori. Over the past decade, emerging genotypic or molecular techniques based on polymerase chain reaction or gene sequencing of DNA extracted from cultured H. pylori cells or H. pylori-containing specimens, such as gastric biopsy, stool, or saliva, have been developed to detect antibiotic resistance (so-called genotypic resistance) in H. pylori. These methods are rapid (usually within 4 h), non- or minimally invasive, cost-effective, and highly reproducible. Moreover, they can detect heteroresistant strains, enabling tailored therapy. The development and implementation of molecular techniques have significantly improved the accuracy and speed of identifying antibiotic resistance in H. pylori, allowing for more effective and personalized treatment strategies.
