BackgroundAdverse psychological states in surgical patients can impact outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate mood disorders and associated factors in general surgery inpatients using the Huaxi Emotional Distress Index (HEI).MethodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed HEI scores of 20,398 adult patients hospitalized for elective surgery at a tertiary hospital in China (2018–2021). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression identified factors linked to moderate/severe mood disturbances.ResultsFactors linked to moderate/severe mood disturbances were identified through univariable and multivariable logistic regression. The results showed that 3.7% of the patients had HEI ≥ 13, indicating significant emotional issues. The mean age was 52.67 (16.14) years in the group with no/mild distress and 59.65 (16.34) years in the group with moderate/severe distress. Among all the cases included, there were 2,689 cases (13.18%) of gastric and esophageal diseases, 1,437 cases (7.04%) of hepatic diseases, 913 cases (4.47%) of periampullary and pancreatic tumors, 9,150 cases (44.85%) of gallbladder diseases, 2,777 cases (13.61%) of colorectal diseases, and 3,432 cases (16.83%) of other diseases. The male percentage was 45.5 and 54.9% in the two groups, respectively. Older age, male gender, unstable occupations, lower education, and unmarried status were associated with higher risks of mood disturbances (all p &lt; 0.05). A significant downward trend in adverse emotions was observed with increasing education levels (p &lt; 0.001). Furthermore, the study found that the inpatients had higher HEI scores prior to the COVID-19 pandemic compared to during the pandemic (p &lt; 0.001). However, the occurrence of adverse mood states in these patients was not exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The trend test remained highly significant in the none-adjusted, age-sex adjusted, and fully adjusted models (all p for trend &lt;0.001).ConclusionThe implementation of routine screening in higher education institutions (HEIs) allows for the early identification of surgical inpatients who require psychological intervention. It is recommended that counseling services focus on individuals with lower levels of education and income instability in order to address negative mood states. Furthermore, the potential application of this screening system in other clinical settings could enable earlier psychological interventions for a larger number of patients.

Published: February 2024

This study examined human–animal symbiosis in an animal-assisted intervention through observations of animal maintenance behaviors. The rise of psychotherapy, learning, and recreation incorporating animals warrants exploration of the welfare of the animals involved in these interventions. The analysis of welfare in multispecies engagements can be discussed in terms of symbiosis. Regarding an intervention’s animal provider (e.g., therapy horse) and human recipient (psychotherapy client), the balance of cost and benefit is important. Research describing human and animal interactive behavior during interventions is limited, whether focusing on client outcomes or animal welfare. The present study adapted ethological methods to study humans and animals in an equine-assisted intervention, observing equine maintenance behaviors and equid–human interactive behavior. Maintenance behaviors were recorded before, during, and after equine-assisted (psychosocial) learning sessions with youth, providing 1600 observations. Equine alertness, eating behavior, and ambulation varied significantly before, during, and after the equine-assisted sessions. Such interruptions of typical behavior are an important aspect of welfare and unit of analysis when examining symbiotic relationships. A total of 267 sequences of equid–human approach–response behavior were also recorded, indicating that human–animal interaction was predominantly from humans toward equids. Equids’ dominant response to human approach was no response, followed by avoidance, while humans’ dominant response to equid approach was reciprocation. The findings are discussed in terms of symbiosis and animal welfare.

Published: February 2024

Biological activities of six under-utilized medicinal leafy vegetable plants indigenous to Africa, i.e., Basella alba, Crassocephalum rubens, Gnetum africanum, Launaea taraxacifolia, Solanecio biafrae, and Solanum macrocarpon, were investigated via two independent techniques. The total phenolic content (TPC) was determined, and six microtiter plate assays were applied after extraction and fractionation. Three were antioxidant in vitro assays, i.e., ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), cupric reduction antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging, and the others were enzyme (acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and tyrosinase) inhibition assays. The highest TPC and antioxidant activity from all the methods were obtained from polar and medium polar fractions of C. rubens, S. biafrae, and S. macrocarpon. The highest acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase inhibition was exhibited by polar fractions of S. biafrae, C. rubens, and L. taraxacifolia, the latter comparable to galantamine. The highest tyrosinase inhibition was observed in the n-butanol fraction of C. rubens and ethyl acetate fraction of S. biafrae. In vitro assay results of the different extracts and fractions were mostly in agreement with the bioactivity profiling via high-performance thin-layer chromatography–multi-imaging–effect-directed analysis, exploiting nine different planar assays. Several separated compounds of the plant extracts showed antioxidant, α-glucosidase, α-amylase, acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase-inhibiting, Gram-positive/-negative antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and genotoxic activities. A prominent apolar bioactive compound zone was tentatively assigned to fatty acids, in particular linolenic acid, via electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry. The detected antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anticholinesterase, cytotoxic, and genotoxic potentials of these vegetable plants, in particular C. rubens, S. biafrae, and S. macrocarpon, may validate some of their ethnomedicinal uses.

This study was aimed to identify efficiency of recurrent selection program to improve maize population. This program was applied to var. Buhooth 106 with var. 5012 Using RGCA with the inbred Zm7 for the production of RSCA. The recurrent selection program was implemented for four consecutive seasons (2020 - 2021) at the Fields Station of the College of Agriculture - University of Anbar. In the spring season 2020, 100 top crosses were obtained from both varieties and progeny. During the fall season 2020, an experiment was carried out to compare the top crosses of each variety RGCA and RSCA using a 10 × 10 partially balanced lattice design.. Six genotypes from each genetic population as well as Buhooth 106 and 5012 and Zm7 inbreds). The genotype-S1-2 RSCA achieved the lowest female flowering period for females 61.50 days, the highest number of rows per ear 17.80 rows, and the highest grain yield 177.82 g. The genotype-S1-3 RSCA achieved the highest leaf area 0.593 m2 and the highest number of kernels per row 43.11 kernel. The broad sense heritability of the traits of the number of rows and the number of kernels in the row and the yield of the plant reached 53.23%, 73.85% and 41.94%, respectively, and high genetic advance for kernels per row and grain yield of 4.79 and 15.52 respectively.

A field experiment was carried out at Rice Researches Station in Mashkhab, Najaf in 2020 and 2021 seasons to study the effect of cultivars and harvest date on some traits of rice yield. Randomized complete block design was applied within split-plot with four replications. Five cultivars of rice (Amber 33, Yasmin, Dijlah, Amber-albaraka and Furat 1) were distributed in the main plots and five harvest dates (harvest at physiological maturity and harvest after 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of physiological maturity) in the sub-plots. The results showed significant difference among cultivars, and superiority cultivars of Dijlah, Furat 1 and Yasmin in recording the highest yield due to its superiority in number of grains per panicle or weight of grain. It can be concluded that traits of grain number in panicle and weight of 1000-grain were among the most influential traits in determining the grain yield, and date of harvest plays an active role in determining the traits of yield. Third harvest date was the best in grain yield, and early harvest before that date would cause loss of yield for all cultivars due to the high grain moisture, and delay after that date would cause a loss of yield as a result of shattering ratio of grain, in addition to difference of cultivars in recording shattering ratio according to harvest date. It can be recommended planting cultivars of Dijlah, Furat 1 and Yasmin, as they achieved the highest yield, and considering the harvest date 14 days after physiological maturity the best date to obtain the highest grain yield.

La torre di avvistamento di Caminada per il Parco naturalistico di Goldau è un dispositivo per l’osservazione del paesaggio. Ma lungo la salita attraverso il corpo della torre di legno, la relazione tra l’uomo e la natura non è più limitata al binomio spettatore/osservatore. Ogni tappa del percorso è un invito a riconsiderare i rapporti tra le parti; a leggere ciò che ci circonda come una trama di esistenze in relazione.
Caminada’s watchtower for the Goldau Nature Park is a device for observing the landscape. Yet along the ascent through the body of the wooden tower, the relationship between man and nature is no longer limited to the spectator/observer binomial.

Giuliana Genta – L’eredità del Quartiere Tuscolano: Casa Re e Casa Gentile
Authors: Gracola Federico 
Published: February 2024

La riflessione sull’edilizia mediterranea ad un solo piano, presentata da Adalberto Libera in un saggio pubblicato nel 1952 sulla rivista «Architetti», costituisce la base teorica per il progetto del Quartiere Tuscolano III, l’Unità di Abitazione Orizzontale, aprendo un «campo di studi di estremo interesse [...] che si presenta alla nostra attenzione con la sua vitalità e i suoi problemi di importanza nazionale». Chi prosegue e sperimenta questo ambito è Giuliana Genta, collaboratrice di Libera negli anni del secondo dopoguerra, nei progetti di residenze ‘in superficie’.
The reflection on single-storey Mediterranean housing, presented by Adalberto Libera in an essay published in 1952 in the magazine Architetti, constitutes the theoretical basis for the project of the Quartiere Tuscolano III, the Horizontal Housing Unit, opening a “field of studies of great interest [...] that presents itself to our attention with its vitality and its issues of national importance”. Who continues to experiment in this field is Giuliana Genta, a collaborator of Libera in the years after World War II, in the projects for ‘surface’ residences.

Studio Zermani Associati. Nuova uscita del Museo delle Cappelle Medicee, Firenze
Authors: Volpe Andrea 
Published: February 2024

Il progetto di Paolo Zermani per la nuova uscita del Museo delle Cappelle Medicee in San Lorenzo è un brano di eloquente silenzio che risolve con la sua raffinata semplicità il difficile tema fissato dal bando di concorso. La figura di una tomba aperta è un omaggio ai sepolcri medicei ma anche una macchina teatrale che offre un inedito colpo d’occhio sull’abside della basilica trasfigurando l’uscita dal nuovo bookshop ipogeo in un’esperienza sacra. Un disegno di Michelangelo per gli affreschi della Sagrestia Nuova, conservato nelle collezioni della Famiglia Reale inglese, sembra del resto confermare la necessità di quest’opera che sembra essere da sempre appartenuta a quel luogo.
Paolo Zermani’s project for the new exit of the Medici Chapels Museum in San Lorenzo is a piece of eloquent silence that resolves with refined simplicity the difficult task set by the competition announcement. The representation of an open tomb is an homage to the Medici sepulchres but also a theatrical device that offers a novel view of the basilica’s apse, transforming the exit from the new underground bookshop into a sacred experience. A sketch by Michelangelo for the frescoes of the New Sacristy, kept in the British Royal Family Collection, seems, moreover, to confirm the need for this work that appears to have always belonged to this place.

L’osservazione delle opere degli architetti orientali non può che prescindere da un cambio di registro nella valutazione dei diversi, spesso opposti a quelli occidentali, apparati culturali ai quali fanno riferimento. Abitare e memoria, paradigmi universali dell’arte e architettura, trovano un’efficace soluzione nell’assemblaggio compositivo della House of Remembrance, mantenendo, in più, l’attenzione ad alcune radici tradizionali dell’architettura d’oriente come la straordinaria sensibilità nel governo delle tensioni umane.
The observation of works by Eastern architects inevitably involves a shift in the evaluation of the cultural apparatuses they refer to, which are often in contrast to those of the West. Dwelling and memory, universal paradigms of both art and architecture, find an effective solution in the way the House of Remembrance is composed and assembled, while also retaining the attention on certain traditional roots of Oriental architecture, such as the extraordinary sensitivity in handling human tensions.
Hans Döllgast. Ricostruzione della Alte Pinakothek, Monaco, Germania
Authors: Acocella Antonio 
Published: February 2024

L’Alte Pinakothek conferma l’idea dell’aspetto differito e collettivo delle opere d’architettura, mostrando come la loro vita non sia mai frutto di un soggetto e di un tempo univoci. La sua esemplarità risiede, in primis, nel modo in cui tali temporalità differite e autorialità molteplici siano riuscite a ‘mantenere in vita’ l’edificio nel segno della continuità dei tratti fondativi del progetto.
The Alte Pinakothek confirms the idea of the deferred and collective aspect of architectural works, and shows how their existence is never the result of a single subject and a specific time. Its exemplary nature lies, first and foremost, in the way in which such deferred temporalities and multiple authorships have succeeded in “keeping the building alive”, under the sign of the continuity of the founding features of the project.
