Published: January 2024

Darwinian agriculture (also called Evolutionary agroecology) which
focuses on the trade-off between individual fitness and community
performance, can provide an efficient approach to enhance crop
production. However, evolutionary or ecological processes, in particular
the tragedy of the commons in crops, remain poorly understood. We used a
pot experiment to examine whether wheat plants fell into this ‘tragedy’
when confronted with roots of an intra-variety neighbour and how the
magnitude was influenced by soil fertility. Two varieties (old landrace
Monkhead and modern variety 92-46) were selected for this study. Root
competition scenarios were set by growing two plants of the same variety
with a mesh or plastic partition. Soil fertility gradients were set by
adding nutrient solutions with low or high application frequency.
Biomass were tested and allometric relationship were analyzed to reveal
resource allocation pattern. Old Monkhead had similar relative
allocation to root biomass with modern 92-46, but had greater relative
allocation to stem&leaf biomass and lower relative allocation to seed
biomass. The presence of neighbour affected allometric relationships
only in 4 out of 24 allometic comparisons, which all appeared in low
fertility treatments. Fertilizer addition increased stem&leaf biomass
allocation of Monkhead and decreased root and seed biomass allocation at
the same time. By contrast, stem&leaf and seed allocation of 92-46 was
not changed by fertilizer addition although root allocation was
decreased. Our results demonstrated that there was a trade-off between
non-reproductive and reproductive allocation for wheat varieties. There
was not notable tragedy of the commons in wheat varieties, although a
small degree was observed in Monkhead. Moreover, the occurrence and
magnitude of the tragedy was dependent on resource availability and
variety resource-use strategy. Our results underlie the importance of
understanding the mechanisms behind the tragedy of the commons in crop
varieties with different ecological strategies, and provide insights
into the role of Darwinian agriculture in global food production.
Comparison of flood index characteristics and channel morphology of two Canadian Shield rivers based on wetland area in southern Quebec (Canada)
Authors: Assani Ali 
Published: January 2024

Two characteristics (magnitude and duration-frequency) of two indices of
high (Qmax, annual flooding) and low intensities (Q90) floods and the
morphology (bankfull width and sinuosity) of channels were compared for
the Matawin (1,390 km²) and Petite Nation (1,330 km²) rivers on the
Canadian Shield, which are differentiated mainly by wetland and forest
areas. Wetlands cover 9% and 15% respectively in the Matawin and
Petite Nation watersheds. This comparison revealed that the magnitude of
high floods (Qmax) in the Matawin River was on average about twice the
magnitude of high floods in the Petite Nation River from 1945–2019. No
significant difference was observed in the magnitude of low floods (Q90)
between the two rivers. As for the duration-frequency of heavy floods
(Qmax), it was, on average, about three times higher in the Petite
Nation River watershed than in the Matawin River watershed. The opposite
is true for low floods (Q90). Morphologically, this difference in the
magnitude and duration-frequency of heavy floods is seen in the bankfull
width and sinuosity between the channels of the two rivers. The Matawin
River channel is narrower and more sinuous than the Petite Nation River
channel. This study is the first to demonstrate the impact of wetlands
on channel morphology for Canadian Shield rivers in southern Quebec.

Abstract ( n=254/250 words) Background: The
Janssen-Ad26.COV2.S vaccine is authorised for use in several countries
with more than 30 million doses administered. Mild and severe allergic
adverse events following immunisation(AEFI) have been reported. The aim
of this report is to detail allergic reactions reported during the
Sisonke phase 3B study in South Africa. Methods: A single-dose
of the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine was administered to 477234 South African
Healthcare Workers between 17 February and 17 May 2021. Monitoring of
adverse events used a combination of passive reporting and active case
finding. Telephonic contact was attempted for all adverse events
reported as “allergy”. Anaphylaxis adjudication was performed using
the Brighton Collaboration (BCC) and NIAID case definitions.
Results: A large cohort of South African healthcare workers
received the Ad26.COV2.S vaccination. Only 250(0.052%) patients
reported any allergic-type reaction(less than 1 in 2000), with four
cases of adjudicated anaphylaxis (BCC level 1, n=3)(prevalence of 8.4
per million doses). All anaphylaxis cases had a prior history of drug or
vaccine-associated anaphylaxis. Cutaneous allergic reactions were the
commonest non-anaphylatic reactions and included: self-limiting,
transient/localised rashes requiring no healthcare contact(n=91); or
isolated urticaria and/or angioedema[n=70 median onset 48(IQR
11.5-120) hours post vaccination] that necessitated healthcare
contact(81%), antihistamine(63%), and/or systemic/topical
corticosteroid(16%). All immediate (including adjudicated anaphylaxis)
and the majority of delayed AEFI(65/69) cases resolved completely.
Conclusions: Allergic AEFI are rare following a single-dose of
Ad26.COV with complete resolution in all cases of anaphylaxis. Though
rare, isolated, delayed onset urticaria and/or angioedema was the
commonest allergic AEFI requiring treatment, with nearly half occurring
in participants without known atopic disease. Keywords: allergic
reaction, anaphylaxis, COVID19 adenovirus vaccine; Janssen-Ad26.COV2.S

Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia in a Pediatric Patient Receiving Maintenance Therapy for Acute B Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Case Report
Authors: wang xiaoning , ding ding , liu yalin 
Published: January 2024

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric
hematologic malignancy. Exposure to certain cytotoxic therapies for ALL
is associated with an increased risk of secondary malignancies.We
present a rare case of a 6-year-old girl with secondary acute myeloid
leukemia (AML) that occurred while the patient was receiving maintenance
therapy for ALL approximately 17 months from the time of primary
diagnosis. This case indicates that if pediatric patients with ALL
receive induction chemotherapy agents used for adults, such as
idarubicin and cyclophosphamide, they may have a shorter time to the
progression of secondary malignancies.
Outcomes of Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Non-Ischaemic Cardiomyopathy A Systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Ammar Ahmed , Sharief Mohamed , Abouelmagd Khaled , Riad Omar , Ibrahim Mokhtar 
Published: January 2024

Background: Catheter Ablation (CA) of Ventricular Tachycardia
(VT) in patients with Non-Ischaemic Cardiomyopathy (NICM) is a
well-known line of treatment to prevent recurrence of VT and ICD
shocks. Objective: To perform a systematic review and
meta-analysis of available trials regarding the outcomes of VT ablation
in patients with NICM. Methods: A comprehensive database search
of large four electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus,
and Institute for Scientific Information network meta-analysis,
identified ten studies enrolling 16370 patients for patients with NICM
underwent CA for VT. The short-term outcomes assessed included
procedural success, VT non-inducibility and procedural complications,
whereas the long-term outcomes assessed included VT recurrence, repeat
ablation procedures, heart transplantation, and death.
Results: A total of 10 observational studies reported outcomes
in 16370 patients with NICM undergoing VT catheter ablation. Idiopathic
dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) was the most frequently reported etiology
of NICM (60.2%) and the duration of follow up ranged from 12 to 49
months. The complete procedural success was moderately high; 57.3%
(95% CI 0.493-0.652) with VT non-inducibility observed in 63.5% of the
patients (95% CI 0.434-0.836), major complications up to 6% (95% CI
0.055-0.079) and in-hospital death up to 1.5% (95% CI (0.003-0.027).
The long-term outcomes showed an estimate of 44.5% for VT recurrence
(95% CI 0.331-0.558), 18.2% for death (95% CI 0.123-0.559) and 7%
for heart transplantation (95% CI 0.030-0.110). Conclusion:
The meta-analysis showed that VT catheter ablation in NICM is safe and
effective approach for management of patients with NICM and VT with wide
discrepancy in the reported short and long-term outcomes after VT
ablation likely because of the heterogeneous VT substrates in each
etiology and the different VT ablation strategies.

Published: January 2024

Gummosis in peach is an invasive disease that causes widespread and
serious damage. Mechanical damage and ethylene (ETH) can induce gummosis
in peach shoots in the field. In this study, we found that silicon can
induce the synthesis of polyamines (PAs) and reduce the synthesis of
ETH, thereby inhibiting gummosis in peach. The results showed that
silicon (Si) can decrease the rate of gummosis, reduce the expression
level of PpACS1 and reduce the enzyme activity of
polygalacturonase (PG). Simultaneously, the expression level of
PpSAMDC and the PAs content were increased and the ETH synthesis
rate was decreased. Si inhibits the synthesis of ETH by promoting PAs
synthesis. It was further discovered that Si can regulate the gene
expression of PpERF21 and PpERF27. Yeast one-hybrid and
dual-luciferase reporter assays showed that PpERF21 and
PpERF27, through direct interaction with the promoter of
PpPG1, inhibited the transcriptional activation of PpPG1.
Overexpression of PpERF21 and PpERF27 effectively reduced
fruit colloid production when bacterial cells harbouring the expression
vector were used to instantaneously infect peach fruit. These results
show that Si can inhibit the synthesis of ETH by promoting PAs
synthesis, mediating PpERF21 and PpERF27 expression to
inhibit the expression of PpPG1, thereby inhibiting gummosis in
peach.
Prospective controlled study of nasal septum deviation impact on nasal obstruction
Authors: Balsevicius Tomas , Padervinskis Evaldas , Bajorinas Darius , Vaitkus Saulius , Pribuisiene Ruta , Jakstas Tomas 
Published: January 2024

Objectives: To assess the relation between the type of nasal septum
deviation and the degree of subjective complaint of nasal obstruction.
Methods: One hundred healthy controls and one hundred-fourteen
septoplasty patients were investigated for nasal obstruction using
endoscopic examination and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE)
scale. Septal deviations were classified as septal spur, C or S shape
deformity at coronal or axial plane and combined deformity. The degree
of septal deviation was assessed, whether the septal deviation was in
contact with lateral nasal wall or not. Results: Septoplasty patients
showed to have higher NOSE scores when compared to the controls.
According to multiple comparison test results, patients with septal spur
had significantly lower NOSE scores compared with patients with
different type of septal deformity (septal spur 45.00(SD=15.80) vs. C
type deformity 60.95(SD=15.25), S type deformity 63.40(SD=14.95),
combined deformity 76.25(SD=8.55), p˂0.05). There was no significant
difference in NOSE score according to septal deviation degree, whether
the septal deviation contacts with the lateral nasal wall or not. After
septoplasty the mean intervention groups’ NOSE score improved from
61.30(SD=17.20) points to 17.00(SD=15.45) points (p<0.01).
Conclusions: Septal deviation, regardless of the anatomical location or
shape of deviation results in impaired nasal breathing when measured by
NOSE scale and compared to population average. Septal spur deformity
causes significantly lower NOSE scores when compared with C or S type
deformity, or combined deformity, indicating that patients with septal
spur express milder symptoms of nasal obstruction. After septoplasty
patients’ breathing improves significantly despite the type and location
of septal deformity.

Published: January 2024

Naegleria fowleri is the only known Naegleria spp. that
cause acute, fulminant, and rapidly fatal infection in the central
nervous system of humans called primary amebic meningoencephalitis
(PAM). We report a 28 years-old suspected PAM patient hospitalized in
Karachi, Pakistan, with no earlier memoire of recreational activities
but daily ritual ablution. Wet film observation of CSF showed amoebic
trophozoites and confirmation of N. fowleri was done using
Internal Transcribed Spacers detection method ((ITS-PCR). Clinical
isolate of N. fowleri from patient CSF was sequenced for
circular extrachromosomal ribosomal DNA (CERE - rDNA). The CERE contains
18S, 5.8S and 28S ribosomal subunits separated by internal transcribed
spacers, 5 open reading frames (ORF’s), and mostly repeat elements
comprising 7268bp out of 15786bp (46%). A wide variety of variations
and recombination events were observed. Finally, the ORF’s that
comprised of only 4 hypothetical proteins were modelled and screened
against Zinc drug-like compounds. Two compounds [ZINC77564275 (ethyl
2-(((4-isopropyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methyl)(methyl)amino)oxazole-4-carboxylate)
and ZINC15022129
(5-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-[2,2’-bipyrimidine]-4,6(1H,5H)-dione)] were
finalized as potential druggable compounds based on ADME toxicity
analysis. We propose that the compounds showing least toxicity would be
potential drug candidates after laboratory experimental validation is
performed.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
This article presents the analyses of the theoretical foundations of the study of consumer behavior: reference was made to the economic, marketing and psychological approaches. The essence of consumer behavior, psychological features and mechanisms are discussed. The psychological causality of consumer preference and choice is revealed, particularly, the study of positions, motives and needs is of significant importance. In the psychological analysis of the consumer behavior the influence of both psychological and socio-cultural factors is highly important.
Today consumers are quite well-informed and they know well what they want. Therefore, marketers should be very careful and prudent when developing a marketing strategy and presenting their brand to the consumers. It can be said that the creation of the best brand depends on to what extent the marketer is familiar with the psychology of consumers. The marketing tricks, such as advertisements, posters, billboards, celebrity endorsements, display, which are used by marketers to present their new products to a wide range of consumers, to attract consumers and buyers, are almost the same and they are used by numerous organizations, manufacturers and marketers. However, successful are those, who can be more informed about the consumers' psychology and the psychological mechanisms of consumer choice.
