Authors: Moradi Layegh , Siosemardeh Adel 
Published: October 2023

Seed priming and foliar application are two crop management practices that can increase grain yield and quality. The research aimed to assess the influence of seed priming and foliar application on rainfed wheat. Two field experiments with two seed priming rates (control and priming) and five foliar applications [control, urea (4%), silicon (4 mM), FeSO4.7H2O (0.6%), and ZnSO4.7H2O (0.4%)] at the anthesis/Z61 stage were conducted. Seeds were primed for 12 h at 25 ± 2°C, by soaking in an aerating solution [urea (20 g L−1) + FeSO4.7H2O (50 ppm) + ZnSO4.7H2O (50 ppm) + silicon (20 mg L−1)]. Seed weight-to-solution volume ratio was 1:5 (kg L−1). A pot experiment was also conducted to examine the effect of priming on root growth. Overall, combined seed priming and foliar application induced a positive impact on physiological traits and attributes. Maximum chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, and carotenoid concentrations (1.58, 0.669, 2.24, and 0.61 mg g−1 FW), membrane stability index (77.31%), superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activity (0.174 and 0.375 Unit mg−1 protein), 1,000-grain weight (35.30 g), biological yield, grain yield (8,061 and 2,456 kg ha−1), and minimum malondialdehyde concentration (3.91 µg g−1 FW) were observed in seed priming combination with ZnSO4 foliar application. The highest glycine betaine concentration (6.90 mg g−1 DW) and proline (972.8 µg g−1 FW) were recorded with the co-application of seed priming and foliar urea spraying. Foliar application of ZnSO4, FeSO4, and urea drastically enhanced grain Zn (29.17%), Fe (19.51%), and protein content (increased from 11.14% in control to 12.46% in urea foliar application), respectively. Compared to control, seed priming increased root length, root volume, and dry mass root by 8.95%, 4.31%, and 9.64%, respectively. It is concluded that adequate Zn, Fe, silicon, and N supply through seed priming and foliar applications of these compounds at the terminal stage of rainfed wheat alleviates drought stress and improves GY and biofortification.

BackgroundNeck pain (NP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder among fighter pilots and has become a rising concern due to its detrimental impact on military combat effectiveness. The occurrence of NP is influenced by a variety of factors, but less attention has been paid to the association of NP with demographic, occupational, and cervical sagittal characteristics in this group. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of NP in Chinese male fighter pilots using a questionnaire and cervical sagittal measurements.MethodsDemographic and flight-related data, as well as musculoskeletal pain information, were gathered from Chinese male fighter pilots via a self-report questionnaire. Cervical sagittal parameters were measured and subtypes were classified using standardized lateral cervical radiographs. Differences in various factors between the case and control groups were analyzed using t-tests or chi-square tests. Binary logistic regressions were conducted to explore potential risk factors contributing to NP. Predictors were presented as crude odds ratios (CORs) and adjusted odds ratios (AORs), along with their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsA total of 185 male fighter pilots were included in this cross-sectional study. Among them, 96 (51.9%) reported experiencing NP within the previous 12 months. The multivariate regression analysis revealed that continuous flight training (AOR: 4.695, 95% CI: 2.226–9.901, p &lt; 0.001), shoulder pain (AOR: 11.891, 95% CI: 4.671–30.268, p &lt; 0.001), and low back pain (AOR: 3.452, 95% CI: 1.600–7.446, p = 0.002) were significantly associated with NP.ConclusionThe high 12-month prevalence of NP among Chinese male fighter pilots confirms the existence of this growing problem. Continuous flight training, shoulder pain, and low back pain have significant negative effects on pilots’ neck health. Effective strategies are necessary to establish appropriate training schedules to reduce NP, and a more holistic perspective on musculoskeletal protection is needed. Given that spinal integrated balance and compensatory mechanisms may maintain individuals in a subclinical state, predicting the incidence of NP in fighter pilots based solely on sagittal characteristics in the cervical region may be inadequate.

BackgroundPrevious studies have shown insufficient physical activity (PA) as a significant global health concern and a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Community-wide initiatives in physical activity (CWIPA) is considered as a best-buy for Community-wide initiatives in physical activity (CWIPA) is considered as a best-buy for NCDs prevention. However, assessment regarding resource allocation and cost-effectiveness of existing programs is lacking. This study investigated local residents’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for community PA programs in Southern Thailand.MethodsThe contingent valuation method (CVM) using the payment card approach was employed to elicit the WTP of 472 residents aged 45 years and over in selected provinces in which community PA programs had been implemented. Respondents were asked to indicate their WTP for the continuous offering of free CWIPA by choosing how much they were willing to pay from eight bid-value options, payable through their monthly electricity bill.ResultsThe mean WTP of Thai older adults was found to be 72 baht/month ($2/month) or 868 baht/year ($25/year). This indicated the maximum amount an older person was willing to pay for any community-based PA program. More than half the sample (54.2%) chose zero as their answer, while there was a fairly large variation in other levels of WTP. The WTP was lower among older respondents and those who resided in rural areas but was higher among those with a history of participation in an organized PA program.ConclusionThe level of WTP can be interpreted as an indicator of community satisfaction with CWIPA. That finding can be used as evidence for the government and policy makers in allocating resources and designing future CWIPA. A variety of organized PA programs should be offered to all community members to ensure inclusivity and also to provide equal access for senior citizens.

This study investigates the effectiveness of UUV formations during navigation to designated target areas. The research focuses on propeller-equipped UUVs and employs a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology to analyze the hydrodynamic interactions among multiple UUV formations while en route to their targeted exploration areas. Utilizing the relative drag coefficients (rl and rf) and static thrust (Rfleets) as analytical parameters, this paper defines the relative distances (a and b) between UUVs within a formation and conducts a comparative analysis of the hydrodynamic performance between individual UUVs and formation configurations. The study establishes correlations between relative distances and the hydrodynamic performance of formations. The findings reveal the following: 1. For both the lead UUV and the following UUV within the formation, the rl and rf heatmaps exhibit two distinct regions: a thrust region and a drag region. Notably, these regions significantly overlap. The maximum rl is 31.23%, while the minimum rf is −20.9%, corresponding to relative distances of a = 0.12 and b = 1.5. Conversely, the minimum rl is −12.2%, while the maximum rf is 22.03%, with relative distances of a = 1.1 and b = 0.2; 2. An analysis of formation static thrust Rfleets reveals that it can be up to 7% greater than the drag experienced by self-propelled UUVs when relative distances a and b are set to 1.1 and 1, respectively. This highlights the enhanced performance achievable through formation navigation. The results presented in this paper offer valuable theoretical insights into the optimal design of relative distances within UUV formations, contributing to the advancement of UUV formation navigation strategies.

Relevance. Total occlusal contact area assessment is an important tool for malocclusion diagnosing and treatment planning in children.Purpose. The study aimed to evaluate (during six months) the effect of orthodontic treatment with plates and trainers on the change in the total occlusal contact area in children with distal occlusion compared to children with physiologic occlusion.Material and methods. The study groups included 145 children with distal occlusion: Group I (82 patients) was treated with a plate modified by AM Schwartz, and Group II (63 patients) had silicone trainers. The control group consisted of 42 children with physiologic occlusion who had not previously had orthodontic treatment. The T-Scan III assessed the total occlusal contact area before and during six months of treatment.Results. The analysis of total occlusal contact area changes in children with physiologic and distal occlusion revealed a statistically significant (p < 0,05) increase in the orthodontic treatment groups (plates and silicone trainers) in 3 and 6 months. Comparative analysis showed a smaller total occlusal contact area in children with distal occlusion before the treatment.Conclusion. Patients with distal occlusion demonstrated a smaller total occlusal contact area before the treatment compared to patients with physiologic occlusion. The children with distal occlusion showed a total occlusal contact area increase during 6-month orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
Measurements made by the Voyager 2 spacecraft during its flybys of Uranus in 1986 found warm stratospheric and hot thermospheric temperatures that cannot be explained by solar energy alone. It contributes to what has become known as the “giant planet energy crisis”; there is a fundamental lack of understanding of the energy balance of giant planets in the solar system. Uranus, in particular, has both the hottest thermospheric temperatures and the weakest internal heat flux of all four giant planets. Moreover, the Voyager 2 UV temperature measurements are at odds with the many contemporaneous Earth-based stellar occultation observations. In this work, we examine the 1977 Uranus stellar occultation (U0) and compare the observed light curve to reported Voyager 2 temperature profiles by simulating the latter into stellar occultation light curves. In this investigation, we find that the observed light curves are in tension with the simulated light curves to a high degree of statistical confidence. Next, we reprocess the U0 light curves using a modern approach, with some significant adjustments described herein, and report updated profiles. We find that the lower thermosphere of Uranus is much cooler than the Voyager 2 profiles suggest but slightly warmer than those originally published from the U0 occultation. In Paper II, we will present the results of applying these methods to many of the dozens of archival Uranus stellar occultations.
Les Franciscaines missionnaires de Marie en Haute-Égypte : reconfigurations d’un apostolat féminin à l’heure des transitions impériales (1920-1970)
Authors: Turiano Annalaura 
Published: October 2023

Les travaux sur le phénomène missionnaire en Égypte ont surtout porté sur les missions protestantes. À partir du cas d’étude des Franciscaines missionnaires de Marie, cet article vise à dévoiler l’histoire peu connue des missions catholiques féminines. Dans les années 1920, les missionnaires de cette congrégation sont appelées à travailler au service des sucreries franco-belges implantées dans la vallée du Nil (al-Ḥawāmdiyya, Kom Ombo et Armant). Notre recherche croise les archives missionnaires et vaticanes pour interroger, d’une part, l’adhésion des religieuses à la politique de la direction des sucreries et, d’autre part, le redéploiement missionnaire à l’heure des politiques de nationalisation (1950-1960). Cet article contribue ainsi à l’histoire transnationale du catholicisme au féminin à l’heure des transitions impériales.
THERAPY-RELATED MYELOID NEOPLASMS: PREDISPOSITION AND CLONAL EVOLUTION
Authors: Fabiani Emiliano , Falconi Giulia , Cristiano Antonio , Hajrullaj H. , Falconi Giulia , Leone Giuseppe , Voso Maria Teresa 
Published: October 2023

Therapy-related Myeloid Neoplasm (t-MN) represents one of the worst long-term consequences of cytotoxic therapy for primary tumors and autoimmune disease. Poor survival and refractoriness to current treatment strategies characterize affected patients from a clinical point of view. In our aging societies, where newer therapies and ameliorated cancer management protocols are improving the life expectancy of cancer patients, therapy-related Myeloid Neoplasms are an emerging problem. Although several research groups have contributed to characterizing the main risk factors in t-MN development, the multiplicity of primary tumors, in association with the different therapeutic strategies available and the new drugs in development, make interpreting the current data still complex. The main risk factors involved in t-MN pathogenesis can be subgrouped into patient-specific, inherited, and acquired predispositions.
Although t-MN can occur at any age, the risk tends to increase with advancing age, and older patients, characterized by a higher number of comorbidities, are more likely to develop the disease. Thanks to the availability of deep sequencing techniques, germline variants have been reported in 15-20% of t-MN patients, highlighting their role in cancer predisposition.
It is becoming increasingly evident that t-MN with driver gene mutations may arise in the background of Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP) under the positive selective pressure of chemo and/or radiation therapies. Although CHIP is generally considered benign, it has been associated with an increased risk of t-MN. In this context, the phenomenon of clonal evolution may be described as a dynamic process of expansion of preexisting clones, with or without acquisition of additional genetic alterations, that, by favoring the proliferation of more aggressive and/or resistant clones, may play a crucial role in the progression from preleukemic states to t-MN.

Abstract

Introduction:
The most common complication following third molar surgery is pain. The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of lornoxicam as a preventive analgesic in patients undergoing surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars.

Materials and Methods:
This study included 26 participants aged 18–28 years with bilateral symmetrical third molars. Group A, the control group, received lornoxicam 8 mg 1 h after surgery, whereas Group B, the study group, received lornoxicam 8 mg 1 h before surgery. All patients were evaluated for pain at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 12th post-operative hours. The number of rescue analgesics taken within 24 h of the procedure, as well as the first occurrence of pain postoperatively, was recorded and analysed.

Results:
Using the Mann–Whitney U-test and Friedman’s analysis, the resulting data were statistically analysed. When Group B was compared to Group A, there was a significant difference in pain reduction levels in the immediate post-operative hours. When compared to Group A, Group B had a lower need for rescue analgesics within the first 24 h postoperatively.

Discussion:
Following mandibular third molar surgery, pre-emptive use of lornoxicam is effective in reducing post-operative pain and reducing the need for rescue analgesic consumption.

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the study was to analyze the public perception toward COVID Appropriate Behavior (CAB) obedience and to identify the factors associated with declining CAB.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
It is a mixed methods study conducted from November 2021 to September 2022 in Pune city, India. A set of 15-CAB guidelines published by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India (GoI), were used as a base document to design the instruments of qualitative and quantitative study. Using a one-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, CAB scores were tested for normality and distribution. Comparisons of various parameters were done using z test for proportion and paired t-test (statistical significance level was 0.05). Thematic content analysis was conducted for qualitative data analysis and verbatims are reported where applicable.

RESULTS:
The main motivation for people to get vaccinated was family and personal safety and a higher proportion of people felt safer post-vaccination which was linked to a reduced likelihood of CAB obedience. Qualitative results showed that people's lack of empathy and concern for others leads to undesirable personal behaviors such as spitting in public places, not wearing masks, etc., The need for socialization is high but discomfort with the use of masks/face shields and habituation with the disease were prominent causes of CAB disobedience.

CONCLUSION:
We conclude that reduced fear and gradual habituation have led to reduced CAB obedience. There is a need to reinforce empathy and concern for others to improve adherence to CAB like maintaining social distancing and wearing masks in public places for personal and social safety from the disease.
