WOBAN
Authors: Solanki Sangita , Upadhyay Raksha , Bhatt Uma Rathore , Bhat Vijay 
Published: August 2023

Background:
WOBAN is a high-speed network and hence any kind of failure results in
huge data loss. Using the proposed network coding technique with parallel path protection can handle
multiple link failures, the performance of the network can be improved.

Aims:
This study aims to improve network performance using network coding with parallel path
protection routing algorithm (NC-PPR) for multiple link failures in WOBAN.

Objective:
We investigated the multiple link failures in WOBAN by the proposed approach namely
Coded Path Protection Algorithm, which enhances the survivability of the WOBAN against multiple
link failures in the front end and eliminates the need of backup resources.

Methods:
Extensive simulation is carried out to implement proposed work. A simulation model and
code is developed in MATLAB to get the performance enhancement of WOBAN.

Results:
We compared the performance of proposed algorithm with existing algorithm. The obtained
results show that the proposed algorithm has superior performance than the existing algorithm.

Conclusion:
In this paper, a new routing approach, which works in three phases namely path finding,
encoding, and decoding, using random linear network coding (RLNC) is introduced to address
the survivability issue of the WOBAN. The proposed approach also enhances the network performance
in terms of PDR, overhead, and delay.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to prepare gelatin-nanocurcumin/nanohydroxy apatite nanofibers and test the effect of nanohydroxyapatite and nanocurcumin on the tensile strength of gelatin nanofibers. Finding the ideal bone replacement material has long been the focus of research in the field of bone regeneration. This study also aimed to assess the effect of adding nanohydroxy-apatite and nanocurcumin on the tensile strength of gelatin nanofibers in order to propose an ideal nanofiberous scaffold for bone regeneration application.

Methods:
Gelatin-curcumin nanofibers were prepared using an electrospinning method with a ratio of 70% to 30% of gelatin and curcumin and 5% of hydroxyapatite.

Results:
Adding curcumin to the gelatin nanofiber structure increased its tensile strength in the wet state (21.03 ± 2.17 to 28.54 ± 0.59, p < 0.0001). Besides, adding nanohydroxyapatite to the structure of gelatin nanofibers increased its tensile strength in dry (30.31 ± 0.64 to 35.79 ± 1.13, p < 0.0001) and wet conditions (28.54 ± 0.59 to 34.46 ± 0.86, p = 0.0020).

Conclusion:
As adding curcumin and nanohydroxyapatite increased the tensile strength of gelatin nanofibers, it seems that these nanofibers can play a promising futuristic role in bone and dental tis-sue engineering. However, more in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies are recommended to approve this finding.

Published: August 2023

Background
The promotion of physical activity in individuals with dementia living in nursing homes is crucial for preserving physical and cognitive functions and the associated quality of life. Nevertheless, the implementation of physical activity programs in this setting is challenging, as the time and expertise of nursing home staff are limited. This situation was further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Mobile health apps may be a sustainable approach to overcome these challenges in the long term. Therefore, the Individualized Cognitive and Physical Exercise-App (the InCoPE-App) was developed to support nursing home staff in delivering and implementing tailored cognitive and physical exercise training for individuals with dementia.

Objective
This study aims to assess the usability of the InCoPE-App in terms of user performance and user perception in a laboratory setting using a mixed methods approach.

Methods
Nursing home staff were encouraged to perform 5 basic tasks within the InCoPE-App. Their thoughts while using the app were captured by implementing a think aloud protocol. Then, participants completed the System Usability Scale questionnaire. The think aloud transcripts were qualitatively evaluated to unveil usability issues. All identified issues were rated in terms of their necessity to be fixed. Task completion (ie, success rate and time) and perceived usability were evaluated descriptively.

Results
A total of 14 nursing home employees (mean age 53.7, SD 10.6 years; n=13, 93% women) participated in the study. The perceived usability of the InCoPE-App, as assessed by the System Usability Scale questionnaire, can be rated as “good.” The main usability issues concerned navigation logic and comprehensibility of app content.

Conclusions
The InCoPE-App is a user-friendly app that enables nursing home staff to deliver and implement cognitive and physical exercise training for individuals with dementia in nursing homes. The InCoPE-App can be used with little training, even by people aged ≥50 years, who may have low digital literacy. To achieve sustainable use and high user satisfaction of the InCoPE-App in the long term, it should be implemented and evaluated in a field study.

Presente em diversos documentos que norteiam a educação brasileira, a interdisciplinaridade ainda é pouco explorada na educação básica, sobretudo no que concerne ao ensino de ciências da natureza. Além disso, a nítida separação entre o que é ensinado e sua aplicação no contexto social que os educandos se encontram inseridos é um empecilho a formação cidadã do indivíduo, a ser promovida também por essas disciplinas. Nesse sentido, com o objetivo promover a análise crítica do mundo e contribuir para a formação de sujeitos de direito, capazes de desnaturalizar as violações de direito presentes no cotidiano e reivindicar seus direitos, desenvolveu-se uma estratégia didático-pedagógica interdisciplinar, para o ensino de química e biologia, usando como elemento norteador o tema saúde. No presente trabalho são apresentados os andamentos pedagógicos com as diversas atividades a serem realizadas com alunos em dez aulas, de 50 minutos, de química e onze de biologia. As atividades de pesquisa orientada, experimentação, observação das vizinhanças escolares e domiciliares, que também exploram características do ambiente sociocultural de estudantes do Ensino Médio, podem ser adaptadas às diferentes realidades em que se encontrarem aqueles que dela participarem. Foram planejadas para promover o diálogo e proporcionar o desenvolvimento de múltiplas habilidades e competências, como a análise crítica de fontes e materiais imagéticos, audiovisuais e textuais, bem como das condições de vida dos educandos, seus familiares e vizinhos, assim como promover reflexões acerca do direito à saúde e capacitar os estudantes a reivindicá-lo.

A study on genetic diversity was conducted at Experimental Farm of Regional Horticultural Research and Training Station Dhaulakuan, District Sirmour (HP), Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India during kharif season, 2018 to assess the genetic diversity in 21 genotypes of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) and to identify suitable donors for successful breeding programme in this crop.The twenty one (21) chilli genotypes were evaluated for seven horticultural traits viz., days to 50% flowering, days to first green fruit picking, fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), number of fruits plant-1, fruit weight at edible maturity (g), green fruits yield plant-1 (g). The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications at spacing of 45×45 cm2. By estimating D2 values in all possible combinations of the genotypes, the 21 genotypes of chilli were grouped into 6 clusters based on green fruit characters, revealing the genetic diversity among the parents. Cluster IV had maximum (6) andCluster I with only one genotype. Average intra-cluster distance was maximum in cluster VI (19.56). The inter cluster distance was recorded maximum between cluster I and VI (207.49). Therefore, hybridization between the genotypes from cluster I and VI (green) can be utilized for getting superior recombinants/ transgressive segregants in segregating generations of chilli.

Authors: Aramburú Rosana M. 
Published: August 2023

La tecnología de edición génica CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, conocida como “tijeras génicas”) se encuentra en pleno auge. El surgimiento y los alcances de esta herramienta son tratados en el documental Selección antinatural, que se utiliza en este trabajo como soporte para analizar dos proyectos de introducción de organismos genéticamente modificados, sus resultados y controversias. Se trata de la introducción de ratones en Nueva Zelanda y la liberación de mosquitos para combatir la malaria en Burkina Faso. Luego de discutirlo en el seno de la comunidad y con los científicos responsables, Nueva Zelanda detuvo el proyecto; en cambio, el gobierno de Burkina Faso aceptó poner en marcha la liberación. Finalmente, se comenta sobre el discurso tecnocientífico, la democratización y la inequidad en el acceso a la herramienta. La edición génica (y sus consecuencias) es un tema que merece un debate amplio y transparente sobre su uso en todas las áreas del conocimiento, para abordar los desafíos éticos, sociales y políticos que plantea.
Confirmation of causality of climatic and soil physical factors affecting the corn (Zea mays L.) yield for silage in the climate-soil-yield network
Authors: Kim Moonju 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This study aimed to confirm the causality of climatic and soil physical factors on silage corn yield based on the climatesoil-yield network in Korea. The climatic variables were growing degree days, high temperature, low temperature, surface temperature, rainfall, relative humidity, wind speed, and sunshine duration before and after silking. The soil physical variables were the effective depth, slope and drainage class of the soil. The yield variables were total digestible nutrients, dry matter and fresh matter yields. The network was constructed using structural equations and neural network models. In the result of the network, three causalities were remarkable. First, all longitudinal climatic causality before and after the silking stages were significant. It implies that the effect of climate in the vegetative stage reaches to yield through themselves in the reproductive stage. Second, there was the causality between climatic and soil physical factors based on indirect effects. Thus, it is likely to lead to an offset between the direct and indirect effects of soil physical factors. Finally, the effects of drought and heavy rainfall were clear before and after silking stages, respectively. It indicates that stress can damage the corn yield for silage. Here, the damage caused by the drought could be recovered due to various indirect effects, while the damage caused by heavy rainfall was fatal because there was a lack of an indirect path to recover from. This study contributed to identifying how various climatic and soil physical factors can affect production in the network. Furthermore, the climate-soil-yield network for silage corn in this study will help extend the structure with various factors in future studies.

Abstract
Callus formation and somatic embryogenesis in potato varieties are effective ways to obtain an entire plant from a single cell. The implementation of embryogenesis is widely used in improving plant materials and creating new biotechnological varieties. In our research, the optimum level of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP) was determined in the formation of callus tissue in the local Sarnav potato variety, and the Desiree variety taken as a control. Leaf and stem explants were used in the processes of callus tissue formation and somatic embryogenesis of both varieties. We tried various plant growth regulators for callus formation and somatic embryogenesis in different ratios. The 1 mg/L NAA and 1.5 mg/L BAP were established as the best option for callus formation resulting in 92 and 100% development of callus in internodes of Desiree and Sarnav varieties, respectively. The 0.1 mg/L BAP and 0.1 mg/L gibberellic acid (GA3) resulted in almost 80% development of somatic embryogenesis in both varieties and were found as the most optimum option. These results showed that regenerated plants can be obtained from the Sarnav potato variety by somatic embryogenesis. This method can be applied to the Sarnav variety for genetic transformation studies.

Abstract
Castor bean (Ricinus communis) indigenous to the southeastern Mediterranean basin, eastern Africa and India is a crop having various industrial and medicinal applications. It is helpful in crop rotation and replenishing the soil nutrients due to less water consumption. The current study explores the utility of Sentinel-2A satellite image for mapping and yield prediction of castor beans. Several classification methods viz. migrating means clustering, maximum likelihood classifier, support vector machine and artificial neural network are used for the classification and mapping of different landscape categories. The overall classification accuracy was achieved to be highest for artificial neural network (85.81 %) subsequently support vector machine (80.12 %), maximum likelihood classifier (74.23 %) and migrating means clustering (73.03 %). The yield prediction is performed using Sentinel-2A-derived indices namely Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Enhanced Vegetation Index-2. Further, the cumulative values of these two indices are investigated for castor bean yield prediction using linear regression from July 2017 to April 2018 in different seasons (pre-monsoon, post-monsoon, and winter). The regression model provided (adj R2=0.75) value using EVI-2 compared to (adj R2=0.55) using NDVI for yield prediction of Ricinus communis crop in the winter season. The methodology adopted in this study can serve as an effective tool to map and predict the productivity of Ricinus communis. The adopted methodology may also be extended to a wider spatial level and for other significant crops grown in semi-arid regions of world.
