<p><strong>Background.</strong> The complementary application of organic and inorganic fertilizers has been found to meet soil nutrient deficits, enhance soil physical properties and crop yield. <strong>Objective.</strong> To evaluate the residual effect of initial application of different fertilizer types on cowpea performance and nutrient uptake. <strong>Methodology.</strong> A field trial was carried out in the late season between September-November, 2015. Initial fertilizer treatments consisted of poultry manure at 5 t ha<sup>-1 </sup>+ urea (100 kg ha<sup>-1</sup>), cow dung at 5 t ha<sup>-1 </sup>+ urea (100 kg ha<sup>-1</sup>), Oyo organic (also known as pace setter fertilizer made in Oyo state, Nigeria) at 5 t ha<sup>-1 </sup>+ urea (100 kg ha<sup>-1</sup>) and control (No fertilizer application). Three cowpea varieties (Ife brown, Modupe and Ife 98-12) were evaluated on residual plots. Treatments were evaluated in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD)(r=4). Data were collected on growth, yield, chlorophyll content as well as post- planting soil nutrient compositions. <strong>Results.</strong> All the parameters of the cowpea varieties were better performed on residual plots of poultry manure (5 t ha<sup>-1</sup>) augmented with urea (100 kg ha<sup>-1</sup>) for the soil nutrient status, plant uptake and crop yield. Similarly, plant grown on soil previously amended with poultry manure + urea had significant higher chlorophyll contents. Highest grain yield of 4.45 t ha<sup>-1 </sup>was obtained in the residual plots of poultry manure + urea. <strong>Conclusion. </strong>Application of poultry manure (5 t ha<sup>-1</sup>) together with urea (100 kg ha<sup>-1</sup>) had significant effect on optimum yield of cowpea</p>

Published: May 2023

<p><strong>Background.</strong> Mezquite gum (<em>Prosopis laevigata</em> [Humb. &amp; Bonpl. ex Willd.]) is similar to the gum Arabic; its production is associated to the stress condition of the tree. <strong>Objective.</strong> To induce and evaluate the gum production and quality. <strong>Methodology.</strong> A completely randomized design with factorial arrangement was used, factor one was seasons (spring and autumn), factor two was tree heights (2.0 and 3.0 m) and factor three was the application of two products, acid 2 -chloroethyl- phosphone (Etherel 240<sup>®</sup>) + distilled water and a control (distilled water). <strong>Results.</strong> The gum was produced only in primary branches between 10 and 15 days after applying 2-chloroethyl phosphonic acid + distilled water. Gum production was higher in autumn in 3.0 m trees, with an average of 57 g per tree. A yield of 10.8 kg ha<sup>-1</sup> of gum with a density of 190 trees ha<sup>-1</sup> was estimated. The content of ash and protein in gum was higher in trees of 2.0 m in autumn, while the content of fiber and nitrogen-free extract in gum was higher in trees of 3.0 m in autumn. The moisture and fat content in gum was higher in spring in trees of 2.0 and 3.0 m, respectively. The pH of the gum was less acid in 3.0 m trees in spring with a lower content of impurities. <strong>Implications.</strong> It is suggested to carry out other tests to determine the presence of acid 2-chloroethyl-phosphonic in the chemical composition of the gum. <strong>Conclusion.</strong> The application of acid 2-chloroethyl-phosphonic (20%) + distilled water stimulated gum secretion in mesquite trees. Trees treated with distilled water (control) did not produce gum.</p>
Pheochromocytoma: A Diagnosis Made More Difficult in the COVID-19 Era
Authors: Mayer Frank 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that secrete catecholamines. Symptoms of these tumors are related directly to catecholamine excess but can be intermittent and easily misattributed to other more common pathologies. Identification in the Emergency Department is inherently difficult. In the COVID-19 pandemic physicians have had to account for both the disease itself as well as associated increased prevalence of cardiac, pulmonary, and vascular complications. Such shifting of disease prevalence arguably makes rarer diseases, like pheochromocytoma, less likely to be recognized. CASE REPORT We report a case of pheochromocytoma discovered in the emergency department in a patient who presented with fatigue, tachycardia, and diaphoresis. The differential included pulmonary embolism, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure and infectious causes. A broad workup was begun including serology, electrocardiogram, Computed Tomography Angiogram (CTA), and COVID-19 testing. This patient was evaluated in the winter of 2020, the local height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and was found to be positive. A tiny retroperitoneal tumor was reported on CTA as “incidental” in the setting of multifocal pneumonia from COVID-19 infection. But further history taking discovered many years of intermittent symptoms and suggested that the tumor may be more contributory to the patient’s presentation. Subsequent MRI and surgical pathology confirmed the pheochromocytoma. CONCLUSION This case presentation highlights the importance of careful history taking, keeping a broad differential, and examining incidental findings in the context of the patient’s presentation.

Published: May 2023

Context.—
United States’ clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are often produced by professional societies and used worldwide in daily medical practice. However, studies in various medical specialties demonstrate underrepresentation of women and racial and ethnic minority groups in CPGs. The representation of authors by gender, race, and ethnicity of US pathology CPGs has not been previously evaluated.

Objective.—
To assess if women and individuals from racial and ethnic minority groups are underrepresented as authors of pathology CPGs.

Design.—
The gender, race, ethnicity, and terminal degrees of authors of 18 CPGs from the College of American Pathologists were coded by using photographs and other available information online and compared to their representation in academic pathology per Association of American Medical Colleges benchmark data.

Results.—
Two hundred seventy-five author positions (202 physician author positions) were analyzed. Women overall (119 of 275; 43.3%) and women physicians (65 of 202; 32.2%) held fewer positions than all men and men physicians. Women physicians were significantly underrepresented in physician author positions, while White men physicians were significantly overrepresented in all, first, senior, and corresponding authorship roles when compared to the proportion of women and White men physicians among pathology faculty, respectively. Asian men and women physicians were underrepresented as compared to their representation among pathology faculty.

Conclusions.—
Men, particularly White men physicians, are overrepresented among pathology CPG author positions, while women physicians and some physicians from racial and ethnic minority groups are underrepresented. Further research is needed to understand the impact of these findings on the careers of underrepresented physicians and the content of guidelines.

Drug addiction is a current global problem, which causes significant damage to the individual and society as a whole. Drug addicts have numerous disorders, among which the emotional sphere occupies an important place. Identification of social and psychological factors affecting the development of emotional intelligence of drug addicts will make it possible to optimize their psychological rehabilitation programmes.
The aim of the study is based on establishing the influence of social and psychological factors on the development of the emotional intelligence level in drug addicts.
Methods: The research programme uses standardized psychometric diagnostic methods (MSPSS, Self-Monitoring Scale, EQ-test, Self-esteem test). Descriptive statistics, the Kruskal-Wallace H test, and Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient were used.
The Results: The study showed that a low level of emotional intelligence prevails among the surveyed drug addicts (M=37.63±13.38). At the same time, people with a low level have pronounced signs of low social self-control (Н=67.64, р≤0.001), social support (Н=67.76, р≤0.001), and self-esteem (Н=89.12, р≤0.001). Correlation analysis revealed a close direct relationship between emotional intelligence and social self-control (r=0.681, p≤0.001), social support (r=0.632, p≤0.001), and self-esteem (r=0.726, p≤0.001).
Conclusions: The study found that the development of emotional intelligence of drug addicts is influenced by such social and psychological factors as social self-control, social support, and self-esteem. These factors determine the ability to manage emotions, adequately perceive them and objectively express them.
Prospects: The identified results can be used when building a system of psychological rehabilitation for persons with drug addiction. In particular, to develop emotional intelligence, and improving general emotional well-being.

O desenvolvimento dos soft skills (SS) é uma demanda do mercado de trabalho para os profissionais da área contábil. Os professores das IES deveriam discutir um conjunto de SS, a serem exploradas no ensino de graduação para atender as necessidades do mercado. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar e comparar as percepções dos professores de contabilidade do ensino superior em relação à importância, prioridade e o desenvolvimento de um conjunto de SS identificado pelo mercado de trabalho, na formação dos futuros profissionais de contabilidade. Uma amostra de 421 professores, atuantes em cursos de Ciências Contábeis, analisou um conjunto de SS percebidas como importantes pelo mercado e pela própria academia, e indicaram o aprendizado contínuo, resolução de problemas, ética, comunicação e pensamento crítico como as principais SS que os futuros profissionais deveriam desenvolver. Identificou-se um grande gap, entre importância das SS e a avaliação de seu desenvolvimento entre os estudantes. A pesquisa demonstra ainda que os docentes entendem que o desenvolvimento das SS se dá dentro e fora das salas de aula nas IES, e que o mercado teria uma leve preferência para o desenvolvimento de SS em relação as hard skills entre os estudantes. Este estudo dá suporte ao desenvolvimento de novas estratégias para que as IES juntamente com o mercado, possam preparar melhor os futuros profissionais contábeis para um ambiente competitivo e exigente.

Published: May 2023

The study uses the transesterification reaction method to extract glycerol from three locally processed fatty acids namely; palm oil, palm kernel and shea butter. The glycerols extracted from the three fatty acids were subjected to physicochemical tests to determine if their properties are in conformity with the reported standard values. Results of the physical properties of the substances tested show that the values were in close agreement with the results of the standard values and the results reported impervious literatures. As such, the investigation concluded that the three fatty acids contain appreciable quantities of crude glycerol and can thus serve as a source for natural glycerol whose properties can be compared with standard glycerin products.

ImportanceEstimates of the rate of waning of vaccine effectiveness (VE) against COVID-19 are key to assess population levels of protection and future needs for booster doses to face the resurgence of epidemic waves.ObjectiveTo quantify the progressive waning of VE associated with the Delta and Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2 by number of received doses.Data SourcesPubMed and Web of Science were searched from the databases’ inception to October 19, 2022, as well as reference lists of eligible articles. Preprints were included.Study SelectionSelected studies for this systematic review and meta-analysis were original articles reporting estimates of VE over time against laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and symptomatic disease.Data Extraction and SynthesisEstimates of VE at different time points from vaccination were retrieved from original studies. A secondary data analysis was performed to project VE at any time from last dose administration, improving the comparability across different studies and between the 2 considered variants. Pooled estimates were obtained from random-effects meta-analysis.Main Outcomes and MeasuresOutcomes were VE against laboratory-confirmed Omicron or Delta infection and symptomatic disease and half-life and waning rate associated with vaccine-induced protection.ResultsA total of 799 original articles and 149 reviews published in peer-reviewed journals and 35 preprints were identified. Of these, 40 studies were included in the analysis. Pooled estimates of VE of a primary vaccination cycle against laboratory-confirmed Omicron infection and symptomatic disease were both lower than 20% at 6 months from last dose administration. Booster doses restored VE to levels comparable to those acquired soon after the administration of the primary cycle. However, 9 months after booster administration, VE against Omicron was lower than 30% against laboratory-confirmed infection and symptomatic disease. The half-life of VE against symptomatic infection was estimated to be 87 days (95% CI, 67-129 days) for Omicron compared with 316 days (95% CI, 240-470 days) for Delta. Similar waning rates of VE were found for different age segments of the population.Conclusions and RelevanceThese findings suggest that the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against laboratory-confirmed Omicron or Delta infection and symptomatic disease rapidly wanes over time after the primary vaccination cycle and booster dose. These results can inform the design of appropriate targets and timing for future vaccination programs.

AbstractDeveloping technology to realize oxide‐based nanoscale planar integrated circuits is in high demand for next‐generation multifunctional electronics. Oxide circuits can have a variety of unique functions, including ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, multiferroicity, superconductivity, and mechanical flexibility. In particular, for spin‐transistor applications, the wide tunability of the physical properties due to the presence of multiple oxide phases is valuable for precise conductivity matching between the channel and ferromagnetic electrodes. This feature is essential for realistic spin‐transistor operations. Here, a substantially large magnetoresistance (MR) ratio of up to ≈140% is demonstrated for planar‐type (La,Sr)MnO3 (LSMO)‐based spin‐valve devices. This MR ratio is 10–100 times larger than the best values obtained for semiconductor‐based planar devices, which have been studied over the past three decades. This structure is prepared by implementing an artificial nanolength Mott‐insulator barrier region using the phase transition of metallic LSMO. The barrier height of the Mott‐insulator region is only 55 meV, which enables the large MR ratio. Furthermore, a successful current modulation, which is a fundamental functionality for spin transistors, is shown. These results open up a new avenue for realizing oxide planar circuits with unique functionalities that conventional semiconductors cannot achieve.

AbstractHeterostructured transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have received much attention due to their tunable optical and electronic properties. Here, a strategy for facile fabrication of porous anodic alumina (PAA) membrane‐supported monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is described. PAA is either empty or filled with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Such nanopore/nanosphere‐supported MoS2 (i.e., PAA‐MoS2 and PAA‐Au‐MoS2) exhibits greatly enhanced optical performances compared with those of silicon wafer‐supported MoS2 (i.e., Si/SiO2‐MoS2). Notably, 11‐fold Raman enhancement, 13‐fold photoluminescence enhancement, and 419‐fold second‐harmonic generation enhancement are achieved in PAA‐Au‐MoS2. Moreover, the optical enhancement mechanism of this unique structure is proposed. This work provides a platform for the construction of curved/heterostructured TMDs and exploration of their strong light‐matter interactions.
From Microscopic Droplets to Macroscopic Crowds: Crossing the Scales in Models of Short‐Range Respiratory Disease Transmission, with Application to COVID‐19
Authors: Mendez Simon , Garcia Willy , Nicolas Alexandre 
Published: May 2023

AbstractShort‐range exposure to airborne virus‐laden respiratory droplets is an effective transmission route of respiratory diseases, as exemplified by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19). In order to assess the risks associated with this pathway in daily‐life settings involving tens to hundreds of individuals, the chasm needs to be bridged between fluid dynamical simulations and population‐scale epidemiological models. This is achieved by simulating droplet trajectories at the microscale in numerous ambient flows, coarse‐graining their results into spatio‐temporal maps of viral concentration around the emitter, and coupling these maps to field‐data about pedestrian crowds in different scenarios (streets, train stations, markets, queues, and street cafés). At the individual scale, the results highlight the paramount importance of the velocity of the ambient air flow relative to the emitter's motion. This aerodynamic effect, which disperses infectious aerosols, prevails over all other environmental variables. At the crowd's scale, the method yields a ranking of the scenarios by the risks of new infections, dominated by the street cafés and then the outdoor market. While the effect of light winds on the qualitative ranking is fairly marginal, even the most modest air flows dramatically lower the quantitative rates of new infections.
