Published: October 2023

Empirical evidence suggests that certified seed potatoes (CSPs) are critical in boosting potato yield, increasing income, and improving nutrition and food security at the household level. Availability and access to certified seed multipliers increase the chances of smallholder potato farmers’ (SHF) uptake and use of certified seed technologies and practices. Most farmers cannot access certified seeds from these multipliers, forcing them to use and reuse the seeds saved from their local storage facilities. The paper sought to determine whether access to certified seed multipliers influenced potato smallholder farmers’ use of CSPs in Kipipiri Sub-County, Kenya. A closed-ended, researcher-administered survey was used in collecting data from 106 SHFs selected from the area. Descriptives and binary logistic statistics were used to answer the study objectives. The findings indicated a significant relationship between access to certified seed multipliers and the use of CSPs. From the study, only 40 % of smallholder farmers had access to certified seed multipliers, while the majority (60%) did not. This trend would be why the respondents opted to use other sources of seeds from farmer stores. Additionally, the high cost of certified seeds and lack of awareness of existing certified seed sources/multipliers were recorded as the significant barriers hindering farmers from accessing certified seed potatoes in the study area.
Analysing Justice as Integral to Governance: A Survey
Authors: Ansari Mahmood 
Published: October 2023

The write-up attempts to develop a conceptual and theoretical framework on the theme of human action of justice, and successively link it with the actions of governance in a nation. It is devoted to a survey of interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary literature on private and public human conducts of justice. Such a survey is warranted so as to further elaborate the assertions to the effect that both justice and governance are actions – the effectuations of enterprises of human executions. The problem is that justice cannot be treated as a stand-alone activity independent of the patterns and characteristics of administration, management and steerage in a nation.
The second problem is that the thinking, deliberations and making of judgements and policy are but antecedent and precedent to justice, and not as such justice as it is the act and doing of uprightness and propriety that constitute justice proper. To act towards the action of propriety, uprightness and justice is to accomplish a set of valued hybrid accomplishments and performances in terms of doing and undoing of something that is valued morally, equitably and legitimately by all, and all these constitute an essential component of good, righteous and efficient governance. Much of the accomplishments on the scale of fairness and justice – individual and societal – depend on the executions of the interplay of civil society and government in the course of steerage of the nation.
The narrative of the paper begins with the literature on the themes of act of propriety and equity and links it with the ambit of a wider and broader plethora of completion of social and economic executions under the framework of national democratic supervision, administration and stewardship of welfare and development.

Carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication is the most frequent etiology of toxicological morbidity and mortality in the world. If the neurological manifestations are in the foreground, then cardiovascular signs of myocardial damage by necrosis are possible, which can result in angina, an acute coronary syndrome followed by myocardial stupor, collapse or even cardiac arrest.
We report a case of CO intoxication inducing an acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation in an elderly diabetic patient with no coronary artery disease history.
Diagnosis: This patient presented a CO intoxication after an accidental exposure; the electrocardiogram showed a depressed ST segment of the inferior and apico-lateral leads; cardiac enzyme troponins gradually increased. Echocardiography showed a preserved systolic function with a disorder of the heart wall motions. Coronary angiography revealed significant lesions of the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) and the first marginal evoking a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome induced by CO intoxication.
Interventions: His management consisted of the administration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a platelet aggregation inhibitor (aspirin plus clopidogrel), an anticoagulant (low molecular weight heparin) and myocardial support (Bisoprolol). Coronary angiography and the placement of two active stents were performed after 24hrs onset diagnosis.
Results: The patient had a good clinical outcome under hyperbaric oxygen therapy, complete revascularization of the angiographic lesions which showed improvement in cardiac function and a slight improvement of heart wall motion on echocardiography performed on the 5th day. After 6 days, the patient had recovered well and was discharged from the hospital without chest discomfort, dizziness or headache.
Lecture: This case suggests that the symptoms of carbon monoxide intoxication are complex and diverse. This can manifest as a primary hypoxic symptom or cause an exacerbation of underlying diseases due to hypoxia. Therefore, patients with carbon monoxide intoxication should actively seek a comprehensive cardiac examination to ensure early diagnosis. Whenever necessary, coronary angiography and stent implantation should be performed to improve the patient's chances of survival.

Published: October 2023

Front-line demonstrations were conducted at farmer’s fields of tribal villages of Jabalpur (7 No.) and Mandla (6 No.) districts during Kharif 2012 and 2013, respectively. Results revealed that the application of 5 kg Zinc +Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (Zn+ RDF ha-1) significantly increased the grain yield (4.53 and 4.70 t ha-1) zinc content in grain (13.18 and 12.97 mgkg-1) and total Zn uptake (190.31 and 184.79 g ha-1) and post-harvest available Zn (0.73 and 0.71 mg kg-1) over farmer’s practices or RDF during both the years. While, the S content in grain and straw of rice, their total S uptake and post- harvest available S increased significantly with the application of 40 kg S ha-1 +RDF and 5 kg Zn+40 kg S ha-1+RDF over farmers practice/ RDF/5 kg Zn ha-1+ RDF during both the years.
With the application of 5 kg Zn +40 kg S +RDF ha-1, the extension gap was maximum (0.93 and 1.12 t ha-1) while, the least technology gap (0.47 and 0.30) and technology index (9.4 and 6.0%) were recorded. The performance of improved technology (5 kg Zn + RDF) emphasized the need to organize Kisan School in the deficient areas for the acceptance of improved technologies to bridge the wide extension gap.

Abstract

Objective
The nervous necrosis virus (NNV; genus Betanodavirus) is an aquatic pathogen that is responsible for a neurological disease affecting marine fish. Despite its almost worldwide distribution, global warming could favor the spread of NNV to new areas, highlighting the importance of conducting epidemiological surveys on both wild and farmed marine fish species. In this study, we assessed NNV prevalence in wild fish caught along the Galician Atlantic coast.

Methods
In total, 1277 fish were analyzed by reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Result
Twenty two (1.72%) of those fish tested positive for NNV, including two species in which the pathogen had not yet been reported.

Conclusion
The reassortant RGNNV/SJNNV (red-spotted grouper NNV/striped jack NNV) was detected in 55% of NNV-positive individuals, while the remaining 45% harbored the SJNNV-type genome. Moreover, from European Pilchard Sardina pilchardus and Atlantic Mackerel Scomber scombrus, we isolated four reassortant strains that carried amino acid mutations at key sites related to NNV–host interaction.

AbstractIntroductionIn the Library‐of‐Plans (LoP) approach, correct plan selection is essential for delivering radiotherapy treatment accurately. However, poor image quality of the cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) may introduce inter‐observer variability and thereby hamper accurate plan selection. In this study, we investigated whether new techniques to improve the CBCT image quality and improve consistency in plan selection, affects the accuracy of LoP selection in cervical cancer patients.Materials and methodsCBCT images of 12 patients were used to investigate the inter‐observer variability of plan selection based on different CBCT image types. Six observers were asked to individually select a plan based on clinical X‐ray Volumetric Imaging (XVI) CBCT, iterative reconstructed CBCT (iCBCT) and synthetic CTs (sCT). Selections were performed before and after a consensus meeting with the entire group, in which guidelines were created. A scoring by all observers on the image quality and plan selection procedure was also included. For plan selection, Fleiss' kappa (κ) statistical test was used to determine the inter‐observer variability within one image type.ResultsThe agreement between observers was significantly higher on sCT compared to CBCT. The consensus meeting improved the duration and inter‐observer variability. In this manuscript, the guidelines attributed the overall results in the plan selection. Before the meeting, the gold standard was selected in 76% of the cases on XVI CBCT, 74% on iCBCT, and 76% on sCT. After the meeting, the gold standard was selected in 83% of the cases on XVI CBCT, 81% on iCBCT, and 90% on sCT.ConclusionThe use of sCTs can increase the agreement of plan selection among observers and the gold standard was indicated to be selected more often. It is important that clear guidelines for plan selection are implemented in order to benefit from the increased image quality, accurate selection, and decrease inter‐observer variability.

Published: October 2023

AbstractParaplegia is a serious consequence of spinal cord ischemia‐reperfusion (SCIR) injury, which leads to neuron death and permanent loss of motor function. However, there is no effective treatment for SCIR. Melatonin exerts a neuroprotective effect in neurodegenerative diseases. However, whether pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis (PANoptosis) is the primary cause of the massive neural death in SCIR is unknown, and if melatonin exhibits anti‐PANoptotic effect in rescuing the disastrous damage is to be decided. This study indicates that melatonin confers neuroprotection in SCIR, attenuating the loss of Nissl body and improving Basso, Beattie & Bresnahan locomotor rating scale scores. Specifically, the apoptotic hallmarks in neurons are increased in SCIR injured spinal cord compared to the sham group. The upregulated trend is reversed by melatonin while the effect of melatonin is abolished by the administration of luzindole, a selective melatonin receptor antagonist. Moreover, similar patterns are found in the necroptotic markers in neurons, the pyroptotic indicators, and the interleukin‐1β staining in microglia. In conclusion, PANoptosis may underlie the mass neural death and paraplegia in SCIR, and melatonin confers neuroprotection to the spinal cord via inhibiting PANoptosis.

Published: October 2023

Abstract2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit remarkable properties that are strongly influenced by their atomic structures, as well as by various types of defects and interfaces that can be precisely engineered and controlled. These features make 2D TMDs and TMD‐based materials highly promising for a wide range of applications in electronics, optoelectronics, magnetism, spintronics, catalysis, energy, etc. By providing a comprehensive approach to understand the structure–property–functionality relationship in materials at the atomic scale, electron microscopy, and spectroscopy techniques have emerged as invaluable tools for studying both the static characteristics and dynamic evolutions of 2D TMDs. In this review, the primary focus lies in exploring intrinsic and artificial structures in TMDs and their heterostructures, along with their corresponding properties, through cutting‐edge aberration‐corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Additionally, recent advancements in the field of in situ visualization and manipulation of 2D TMDs using electron beams are highlighted. It is anticipated that the up‐to‐date overview provided, along with a glimpse into the future development of STEM‐based techniques, will make a substantial contribution to advancing research on 2D materials.

Published: October 2023

AbstractAdvancing green hydrogen production technologies relies heavily on the development of highly efficient and durable bifunctional catalysts for overall water splitting. Herein, this study reports the ruthenium‐modified hollow cubic molybdenum‐cobalt phosphide (Ru‐MoCoP) as exceptional performance electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Theoretical calculations and experimental results indicate that the incorporation of Ru not only serves as an efficient active site, but also adjusts the electronic structure and improves the reactivity of the original sites, as well as generates more phosphorus vacancies, which improves the electrical conductivity and exposes more active sites. Benefiting from the advantages triggered by the incorporation of Ru mentioned above, the Ru‐MoCoP delivers low overpotentials of 55 and 240 mV at 10 mA cm−2 for HER and OER, respectively. Furthermore, the electrolyzer assembled with Ru‐MoCoP achieves a current density of 50 mA cm−2 at 1.6 V and can be operated stably for 150 h. Notably, the assembled two‐electrode system can be powered by a single commercial AA battery, accompanied with evident gas bubble evolution. This research proposes a promising strategy for the development of highly efficient bifunctional phosphide catalysts, aiming to achieve efficient energy conversion in a wide range of industrial applications.

Published: October 2023

AbstractTi3C2Tx MXene film is promising for low‐voltage electrochemical actuators (ECAs) due to its excellent electrical conductivity, volumetric capacitance, and mechanical properties. However, its in‐plane actuation is limited to little intralayer strain of MXene sheets under polarization. Here it is demonstrated that a simple tetrabutylammonium (TBA) functionalization of MXene improves the in‐plane actuation strain by 337% and also enhances the mechanical property and stability in air and the electrolyte. Various in situ characterizations reveal that the improved actuation is ascribed to the co‐insertion/desertion of TBA and Li ions into/from MXene interlayer galleries and inter‐edge gaps that causes a large in‐plane sliding of MXene sheets under negative/positive polarizations. The assembled bending actuator has a high strength and modulus and generates a peak‐to‐peak strain difference of 0.771% and a blocking force up to 51.5 times its own weight under 1 V. The designed soft robotic tweezer can grasp an object under 1 V and hold it firmly under 0 V. The novel sheet sliding mechanism resembling the filament sliding theory in skeletal muscles may inspire the design of high‐performance actuators with other nanomaterials.

Published: October 2023

AbstractOpen microfluidic channels, which capture and transport liquid on flat substrate surfaces through wettability contrast, offer a promising platform for the analysis, mixing, separation, etc. of small‐volume liquid samples. This study focuses on the development of open microfluidic channels featuring oleophilic/oleophobic micropatterning in a hyperbranched, space‐filling structure, thereby creating high‐density channels. These newly designed channels allow for the swift collection of microdroplets with low surface tension within less than 10 s through hierarchical transport and merging of the microdroplets within the channel. The collection efficiency reaches 66% in the channel with the optimized channel geometry. These results underscore the effectiveness of this method for the collection of low surface tension microdroplets, paving the way for the advancement in the domain of open microfluidics of oil, a field that has yet to be fully explored.

AbstractTwo‐photon lithography (TPL) is an advanced high‐resolution additive manufacturing technique for objects with feature sizes between 100 nanometers to tens of micrometers and an overall footprint of up to hundreds of micrometers. With recent advances in the TPL technique, writing speeds are becoming faster, rendering the method feasible to print high‐resolution microfluidic chips with a footprint in the centimeter range within a reasonable time frame. In this work, a process flow to fabricate embedded microfluidic chips with channel diameters down to 30 µm is developed. To address the particular difficulty of washing the embedded channels free of uncured material, introduces a developing scheme based on a 3D printed chip‐to‐world‐interface to connect the chips to a pressure‐driven pump. This setup is leakage‐free up to a pressure of 6.9 bar for faster and safer development of embedded microfluidic devices. It manufactures meander chips with channel lengths up to 20 cm, droplet generator chips, and cell sorting chips based on deterministic lateral displacement with pillar diameters of 30 µm and pillar spacing of 4 µm. TPL of microfluidic chips will enable rapid manufacturing of novel designs, significantly reducing concept‐to‐chip times with high resolution in a reasonable amount of time.
A Burning Grass and Removing Root Immunoregulatory Strategy Toward Chronic Wounds Therapy by MnO2 Nanoparticle Incorporated Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel
Authors: Shao Zijian , Wang Wenjie , Wang Yilin , Zhao Weifeng , Zhao Changsheng 
Published: October 2023

AbstractComplex immune microenvironment of diabetic wound possesses polarization misalignment of macrophages and excessive inflammatory response, which prolong the healing process. Consequently, developing hydrogel dressings with immunoregulatory ability shows huge potential in clinical management of diabetic wound. Nevertheless, recent immunoregulatory strategies are mainly focusing on switching the proinflammatory M1‐type to anti‐inflammatory M2‐type macrophages by using high‐cost dressings composed of cytokines and cells. Considering the hyperpolarized M1 macrophages of diabetic wounds as wild grass of wasteland, a burning grass and removing root immunoregulatory strategy toward wound healing is developed based on dopamine‐manganese dioxide nanoparticle incorporated high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HHA) hydrogel. The self‐healing and injectable hydrogel is formed by boronate ester bonds between the HHA grafted with phenylboronic acid and polyvinyl alcohol. Notably, in vitro and vivo results confirm that the HHA components can burn the grass by switching M1 to M2 in the inflammatory microenvironment while the dopamine‐manganese dioxide nanoparticles can remove the root by relieving M1 polarization through eliminating reactive oxygen species. The comprehensive immunoregulation ability enables the hydrogel as effective therapeutic that improves wound healing, and shows reliable potential in clinical dressings for the management of diabetic wounds.
