Breeding approaches for improvement of temperate fruit crops and nuts - a review
Authors: Wani Mohmmad Asif , Magray Aalia Farooq 
Published: February 2024

Fruit breeding is an ancient technology with dynamic current technology and an exciting future (Janick and Moore, 1975, 1996). In its broadest sense, fruit breeding refers to the purposeful genetic improvement of fruit crops through various techniques including selection, hybridization, mutation induction, and molecular techniques. Its origins trace to the domestication process in prehistory and antiquity, where useful species were chosen and cultivated, and improved by continuous selection (Janick, 2005, 2011). Much of the world fruit industry is still based on grower selection from chance seedlings as well as mutations (sports) and as a result many fruit species are characterized by a narrow germplasm base. Spontaneous hybridization between wild plants and cultivated clones was critical to the early domestication of fruits. The lengthy juvenile period and the large field space required to grow temperate fruits have imposed major limitations on conventional breeding and various molecular biological techniques have been employed to make fruit breeding easier. (Igarashi et al.2016). Marker-assisted selection (MAS) uses DNA markers to provide an early DNA-based evaluation of genetic performance potential of seedlings, with the aim of improving cost and/or genetic efficiency of seedling selection (Ru, et al., 2015). Transgenic technology has facilitated the development of fruit trees with resistance to fungal or bacterial diseases, improved fruit quality, or root stocks with better rooting or dwarfing ability. In recent years, new technologies for genetic improvement, such as transgrafting, and genome-editing, have emerged. (Mudge, et al. 2009; Jia and Wang 2014). Using these techniques, no foreign genes are present in the final product, and some of them show considerable promise for application to apple breeding. Furthermore, genome editing, by which only the target gene can be accurately modified, is emerging as a novel breeding technology. These new technologies will undoubtedly facilitate fruit breeding, and yield novel and attractive fruit cultivars.

The present study focuson the adsorption of hexavalent chromium with Sargassum myriocystum, algae and the outcomes of various parameters such as size of sorbent, contact time, temperature, sorbent dosage and agitating speed were enhanced with aid of response surface methodology. The maximum adsorption of hexavalent chromium in its optimized conditions were determined as solution temperature of 35oC, size of sorbent for 0.5284 mm 36 BSS mesh ,contact time (1 hour), agitating speed (50 rpm) and sorbent dosage (4.309 g).The utmost removal was 99% . Isotherm studies revealed that Langmuir model is fitting the algae with a hexavalent chromium uptake of 61.5384mg/g. Thermodynamic study revealed that it is endothermic in nature and values of Gibb’s free energy, enthalpy and entropy change are in accordance. The sorbents were characterized with FTIR and SEM. FTIR studies revealed the presence of a few functional groups like carboxylic acid, amino and hydroxyl in hexavalent chromium adsorption. Pseudo I order kinetics are in accordance for this process. From above studies it can be concluded that Sargassum myriocystum had good removal capacity for hexavalent chromium from fabricated solutions.

Abstract
This paper discusses the imaging with a phased array transducer attached with a stacked thin plate buffer using the calculations of wave propagation. The buffer is designed to guarantee the performance of phased array transducer based on the properties of dispersion nature of the S0 mode of Lamb wave. First, numerical analyses showed the limitations of the imaging with a stacked plate buffer due to the multiple reflections at the buffer ends. Then the effective detecting region (EDR) of the phased array transducer with a stacked plate buffer was investigated theoretically and numerically. The imaging results of the numerical calculations agreed with the theoretical predictions on the EDR. Final numerical analyses also presented the longer buffer provides the wider EDR as predicted by the theoretical investigations.
Preliminary study on cartilage tissue evaluation based on longitudinal and shear wave speeds
Authors: Nitta Naotaka , Washio Toshikatsu , Hikishima Keigo 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis is a serious disease in an aging society, and as there is currently no fundamental treatment, early diagnosis is extremely important. Cartilage is often modeled as a poroelastic body with a deformable solid matrix saturated with fluid or water, and its water retention capacity is assessed by the changes in the fluid content within the poroelastic body over time. Therefore, in this study, we focused on Poisson’s ratio as an evaluation index for fluid content. A speed-of-sound measurement method using the subchondral bone as a reflector is proposed, and Poisson’s ratio is calculated by combining the speed of sound measured using the aforementioned method with the shear wave speed measured using the time-of-flight method. As a preliminary cartilage evaluation study, we attempted to estimate the Poisson’s ratio of a cartilage phantom. As a result, the fluid content and Poisson’s ratio of the phantom showed a high correlation.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
We provide a catalog of atmospheric parameters for 1,806,921 cool dwarfs from Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) that lie within the range covered by LAMOST cool dwarf spectroscopic parameters: 3200 K < T
eff < 4300 K, −0.8 < [M/H] < 0.2 dex, and 4.5 < log g < 5.5 dex. Our values are derived based on machine-learning models trained with multiband photometry corrected for dust. The photometric data comprise optical data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey r, i, and z bands, near-infrared data from the Two Micron All Sky Survey J, H, and K bands, and mid-infrared data from the ALLWISE W1 and W2 bands. We used both random forest and light gradient boosting machine machine-learning models and found similar results from both, with an error dispersion of 68 K, 0.22 dex, and 0.05 dex for T
eff, [M/H], and log g, respectively. Assessment of the relative feature importance of different photometric colors indicated W1 − W2 as most sensitive to both T
eff and log g, with J − H being most sensitive to [M/H]. We find that our values show a good agreement with the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment, but are significantly different to those provided as part of Gaia DR3.

Authors: Harvey Giuliana , MacLean Heather , El Hussein Mohamed , Zettel Stephanie , Benacchio Daniella 
Published: February 2024

Background:
Undergraduate nursing education consists of supporting students' learning about psychomotor skills. There is variation in strategies used to facilitate learning in the lab setting because there is no single accepted or preferred educational approach.

Method:
Formative learning strategies were integrated into lab courses throughout a nursing curriculum for undergraduate students at a Canadian university. These strategies included developing and implementing guidelines, a rubric, and an addendum.

Results:
Students enrolled in lab courses that used these strategies received ongoing verbal and written feedback from their instructor and were provided with an opportunity to engage in reflective practice and refine clinical judgment skills.

Conclusion:

Using consistent and effective formative strategies to support students' learning in the lab requires further empirical exploration and consideration.

Published: February 2024

Objective: To evaluate the effect of subcutaneous teriparatide therapy on fracture healing rate and change in bone mass density in osteoporotic hip fractures.
Method: The meta-analysis was done from September to December 2022, and comprise literature search on Wanfang, CNKI, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from the establishment of the respective database till December 2022. The relevant journals of the library of Macao University of Science and Technology, China, were manually searched for randomised controlled trials of teriparatide in the treatment of osteoporotic hip fractures. The shortlisted studies were subjectd to Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and the Jadad Rating Scale. Meta-analysis was done using the RevMan 5.4 software provided by the Cochrane Collaboration Network. Fracture healing rate and bone mineral density were the primary outcome measures, while mortality, adverse events, malformations, complications, subsequent fractures, timed-up-and-go test, visual analogue scale score, and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide were the secondary outcome measures.
Results: Of the 1,094 articles retrieved, 8(0.7%) randomised controlled trials were analysed. There were 744 patients; 372(50%) in the teriparatide group and 372(50%) in the control group. Fracture healing rate was not significantly different (p=0.82), while bone mineral density was significantly different between the groups (p<0.001). Mortality, adverse events, deformity, and complications were not significantly different (p>0.05), while subsequent fractures, timed-up-and-go score, visual analogue scale score and procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide were significantly different between the groups (p<0.05).

Conclusions. 1. Patients know what anesthesia is and for what purpose it is performed, most patients follow the preoperative preparation recommendations. Before the operation, patients want to be informed and know about the course of the operation, anesthesia, pre-operative requirements, risks and threats of complications, the postoperative period, rehabilitation. Patients emphasize that communication with healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses) before surgery is very necessary for them. The information provided to some patients was insufficient, there was a lack of communication. Patients prefer an individual conversation and written or visual information about pre-operative preparation, anesthesia in a language they understand, without difficult medical terms. 2. Nursing roles emerged as important factors in patients' preoperative period. It has been established that the communication of health care professionals, including nurses, and the time devoted to patients in meeting their needs have a significant impact on patient awareness.

Por meio de algumas noções conceituais produzidas no campo dos Estudos Culturais e entrevistas narrativas com participantes de um projeto social de ensino do Taekwondo vinculado ao Programa Escola da Família, analisamos como projetos desse tipo influenciam na vida de jovens em situação de vulnerabilidade social. Consideramos que tais projetos produzem identidades e impactam as subjetividades dos jovens atendidos, quando estes não se adequam aos discursos hegemônicos de classe social, gênero, saúde e educação; contribuem para que crianças e jovens permaneçam à margem da sociedade em que se encontram e, por consequência, favorecem a promoção de políticas que os mantenham tutelados pelo Estado.
