Published: February 2023

A field experiment was conducted in a farmer field in Nakhon Ratchasima province, northeast, Thailand objectively to investigate the response of cassava, Huay Bong 80 variety to phosphorus (P) fertilizer in Warin soil series (classified as Grossarenic Paleustults) amended with cassava tails and stalk (CTS) mixed with bentonite (BTN). The experiment was arranged in split plot with four replications. Main plot consisted of four rates of CTS +BTN: 0+0, 6.25+1.25, 12.5+2.5 and 25+5 t/ha while subplot comprising four rates of P fertilizer: 0, 25, 50 and 100 kg P2O5/ha. Cassava was harvested at 12-month of age and plant samples were collected at the harvesting time to study the effects of soil amendment on the uptake of primary plant nutrients in different plant parts of cassava. The results showed that the CTS+BN mixture at the rate of 25+5 t/ha highly significantly promoted the highest fresh tuber yield (FTY) and starch yield (SY) of 31.79 and 8.97 t/ha, respectively, which were 21.2 and 20.7 % greater than that of the control with no soil amendment addition. Increasing rate of P fertilization highly significantly induced greater FTY, SY and aboveground biomass (ABG) than did the zero-P fertilization. Amending the soil with 25+5 t/ha of CTS+BN along with the addition of 100 kg P2O5/ha interactively gave the significantly highest respective FTY, SY and ABG of 39.76, 11.48 and 17.35 t/ha whereas the plot amended with 12.5+2.5 kg CTS+BN/ha plus 50 kg P2O5/ha fertilization gave slightly lower STY and SY of 36.11 and 10.30 t/ha, respectively. The former combined rate of soil amendment and P fertilizer also had the interaction that highly significantly induced the highest uptake of all primary plant nutrients in the whole plant, accounting for 131.66, 14.23 and 124.13 kg/ha of respective nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The result reaffirmed that amending the soil with proper rate of CTS+BTN mixture enhanced the efficiency of P fertilizer and subsequently improved yield of cassava.
HIGHLIGHTS

Coarse-textured soils in northeast Thailand are very poor physically and chemically, leading to low yield of cassava planted
Improving the soils with proper soil amendments combined with phosphorus fertilization can be beneficial to an increase of cassava yield
Amending Warin soil series, one of the coarse-textured soils in this region, with 25+5 t/ha of cassava tails and stalk + bentonite along with the addition of 100 kg P2O5/ha interactively gave the significantly highest fresh tuber yield, starch yield and aboveground biomass of cassava

El soporte constructivo del Renacimiento español es la sillería aplantillada. Para obtener las plantillas que permiten la labra de los sillares, es preciso dibujar las piezas que conforman la fábrica a tamaño natural. Estos trazados se conocen como monteas y son documentos relevantes de la Historia de la Construcción. En el Colegio de Nuestra Señora de la Antigua, edificio renacentista sito en Monforte de Lemos, se conservan varios trazados de montea. Hasta ahora se tenía noticia de dos de ellos, levantados y explicados con anterioridad, a los que este texto añade varios más formando un conjunto que permite hablar de una verdadera ‘Ruta de las Monteas’. Se explica el porqué de la conservación de estos trazados en base a la historia de la construcción del edificio y se señalan algunos datos constructivos clave que destacan en la revisión histórica realizada.
Urban Life in the Middle Ages 1000-1450
Authors: Lilley Keith D. 
Published: February 2023

What was life like in towns and cities in medieval Europe? How did people live, and why was it that some towns grew into major urban centres while others did not? After the year 1000, all across Europe urban life prospered as it had never done before. New towns emerged, and established towns and cities grew larger and became more powerful and dominant. During the later Middle Ages these towns and cities were the focus of religious, political, commercial and social activity; the places where power, profit, piety and people all came together. Urban life was indeed the making of medieval Europe.
Drawing upon original research, as well as the work of medieval historians, urban archaeologists and historical geographers, Keith Lilley explores the close relationship that existed between the life of towns in the Middle Ages and the life within towns. Taking a fresh and challenging approach, this richly-illustrated book will be invaluable to anyone interested in medieval Europe. It focuses on important themes, including lordship, property, and townscape, and explores the processes which not only shaped the towns and cities of medieval Europe, but also the people who lived in them.

Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic since December 2019 has raised serious global health concern. Because of rapid human to human transmission and non-availability of clinically proven drugs or vaccines, this Covid-19 pandemic has created a great threat to mankind. Many naturally derived molecules are being investigated for the treatment of Covid-19. Ocimum americanum is one such significant medicinal plant possessing a variety of biological activities.

Materials and Methods: In the present study, seven phytochemicals were selected from O. americanum and were docked against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein which is an important site for virus to enter the host cell. Docking was performed using Autodock Vina and the ADME properties of all these seven ligands were predicted using the Swiss-ADME tool. The bioactivity score was also predicted using the Molinspiration tool. Besides the secondary metabolites, all these analyses were also performed for well-known antiviral drugs namely lopinavir and ritonavir.

Results: The binding energy obtained from the docking studies of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with Lopinavir, Ritonavir, Alpha-farnesene, Beta-farnesene, Eugenol, Linalool, Estragole, Limonene and 1,8-Cineole was found to be -5.2, -5.1, -4.7, -4.5, -4.3, -4.1, -4, -3.9 and -3.8 Kcal/Mol respectively. Swiss-ADME results also suggest that all the selected ligands follow the drug likeness properties and hence they could be taken for further drug discovery process.

Conclusion: From the present in silico study, it can be concluded that secondary metabolites of O. americanum have potential inhibiting activity against spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. Isolation and efficacy studies in vitro may provide an insight into the drug discovery to fight Covid-19.

Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: Pregnancy is complicated by the hypertension disease known as pre-eclampsia. The development of hypertension to a level of 140/90 mmHg or greater in the presence of proteinuria after the 20th week of gestation characterises this condition, a multisystem disorder with an unclear cause. Uric acid and microalbuminuria were assessed in preeclamptic women (PW) and normal pregnant women (NPW).

Materials and Methods: For the present study 120 women (60 NPW and 60 PW) were selected from the hospital at Mullana, Ambala, Haryana. The level of uric acid and microalbuminuria were estimated in all subjects.

Results: Preeclamptic women had microalbuminuria levels that were substantially (p<0.001) greater than those of normal pregnant women, and their uric acid levels were significantly (p<0.001) higher.

Conclusion: Preeclampsia patients had significantly higher uric acid and microalbuminuria levels than normal pregnant women. We deduced from the study that uric acid and microalbuminuria can be helpful in diagnosing preeclampsia risk.

Authors: Khidhair Hussain Zainab 
Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: Platelet indices are used as diagnostic markers in many diseases and disorders. Urinary tract infections and tonsillitis are common among children. In this study we aimed to investigate whether platelet indices could be used as a marker of UTI and tonsillitis in children.

Materials and Methods: This study included 120 children aged between 1-10 years, who were divided into 3 groups (G1-G3). The group G1 included children suffering from UTI (n=40), G2 with only tonsillitis (n=40) and G3 only healthy children (n=40). UTI and tonsillitis were diagnosed based on different parameters including C - reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and complete blood counts. The platelet indices (PLT count, MPV, PDW, PCT, P-LCR, P-LCC) were measured using an automatic CBC blood counting and analysis machine.
Results: The results in this study showed a high significant increase in (127.22), (7.179), (0.122) platelet count, PDW % and PCT% respectively and non-significant increase of P-LCC count. The results also revealed a high significant decrease in values of MPV, PDW and P-LCR (2.210), (2.315) and (6.427) respectively.

Conclusion: Our study suggests the platelet indices could be used as a diagnostic marker in diagnosing urinary tract infection and tonsillitis in children.

Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: Medicinal plants have shown to be effective in treatment of different stages of addiction with lower side effects, including reducing the severity of withdrawal symptoms that occur when an opioid-dependent patient stops using opioids. The current study aimed to evaluate the effective role of Mentha piperita oil on alleviating the symptoms of oxycodone withdrawal, and to elucidate the mechanisms by which it does so.

Materials and Methods: Twenty-five healthy male rabbits divided into 5 groups (G1-G5) consisting of 5 rabbits each. The groups were divided as follows: G1-Control Group: G2-Oxycodone: G3-Oxycodone withdrawal: G4-Oxycodone withdrawal + M. piperita: G5-Oxycodone withdrawal +M. piperita. Blood was drawn from each animal and the serum obtained was analyzed for physiological (cortisol, serotonin, dopamine, CRP and T, LH levels), antioxidant parameters (LDH, SOD, GSH and MDA) and sperm activity.

Results: This study found statistically significant changes in most variables. G2 rabbits had higher serotonin and dopamine levels, higher body weight, and lower cortisol and CRP levels than the healthy control group G1. Sperm activity, efficacy, testosterone, luteinizing hormone, superoxide dismutase, glutathione, and malondialdehyde did not alter across generations (G2 and G1). Group 3 showed that oxycodone withdrawal negatively affected dopamine, testosterone, LH, SOD, GSH, and sperm activity with weight, compared to Groups 1 and 2. Without therapy, rabbits in G3 with fast withdrawal had considerably higher cortisol, CRP, LDH, and MDA than G2 and G1. Serotonin level decreased in G3 compared with G1 and G2. An improvement in most of the studied variables, stress factors and antioxidants, as well as fertility indicators in the G4 and G5 improved gradually depending on period of treatment with M. piperita.

Conclusion: M. piperita being rich in antioxidants can be adopted as one of the natural plant-based compound in patients undergoing oxycodone addiction withdrawal.

Introduction and Aim: More than 85% of cervical cancer (CC) cases are reported in developing countries where access to screening is limited. With localized forms of CC, it is possible to achieve good treatment results using radical procedures compared to locally widespread processes.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of 68 patients with stage IIB CC hospitalized from 2013–2022. During the initial treatment and after a full clinical examination, all patients were diagnosed with stage IIB CC, a parametrial and vaginal involvement.
Results: Forty-six patients (74%) received two courses of chemotherapy, 14 patients (23%) received three courses, and 2 patients (3%) received four courses. The tumor became resectable after two courses in 46 patients, after 3–4 courses all patients moved on to the next surgical stage. Of the early postoperative complications, 9 patients (14.5%) had bladder atony, which was resolved by the conservative method.
Conclusion: Thus, there is a certain category of patients with CC, where it is possible to make the tumor into a resectable form, and this will increase the percentage of the surgical component of treatment, which in turn could increase the 5-year disease-free survival rates of patients with stage IIB CC.

Authors: Patel Jigisha , Ghosh Tirthankar 
Published: February 2023

Introduction and Aim: Fish processing industries have been showing tremendous growth in recent years. Various modern processing technologies and equipment are incorporated in the fish processing plants. Some of the tasks in fish processing plants yet involve manual handling. Prolong working in wet environment in awkward confined posture leads to the development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The current study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of work-related MSDs among fish processing workers.

Materials and Methods: A total of thirty subjects from fish processing plant between 28-40 years were selected randomly from a fish processing plant in Suri of West Bengal. A modified Nordic questionnaire was applied for the assessment of the discomfort or pain of the processing workers. The study included postural analysis utilising the standardized Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) tool.

Results: The present study showed that 60% of the fish processing workers complained discomfort or pain in different parts of the body majorly in neck, wrist and lower back respectively. The RULA score of posture adopted during job tasks majorly scaling, trimming, filleting of fishes indicated medium risk of musculoskeletal injury and sharpening of blade involved low risk of developing MSDs.

Conclusion: It may be concluded that neck and lower back are the major occupational health issues prevailing in fish processing workers. Prolong working in awkward posture and in repetitive manner led to increased risk of developing work- related MSDs.

Se a situação da mulher em liberdade é de frequente discriminação, opressão e descaso por parte do Estado, quando o assunto é prisão feminina, ou mulheres presas, os problemas são ainda mais graves. O presente trabalho de conclusão de curso faz uma análise acerca do aumento do encarceramento feminino, como ela se originou e também assim ver como as mesmas chegaram a serem presas, visto que muitas mulheres entram na vida do crime incentivadas, ou muitas não, pelos seus companheiros, fazendo delas um pivô do lado de fora da prisão para seguirem com seus trabalhos já que eles, os bandidos estão “impossibilitados” de comandarem crime fora da prisão, sendo assim, suas companheiras acabam fazendo todo o serviço sujo, entrando também na vida de criminalidade, tráficos de drogas, inserção numa nova sociedade onde as mulheres têm mais voz ativa, direitos iguais aos homens e seu lugar na sociedade. Apresentarei dados de uma pesquisa feita nas penitenciárias de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, como surgiu as penitenciarias brasileira e dados mais específicas das gaúchas, estado onde estou inserida.

Introdução: O método canguru (MC) é um recurso de assistência humanizada com vários benefícios nas situações estressantes e dolorosas do prematuro em UTI neonatal, porém não está estabelecido seu efeito fisiológico imediato na ausência de procedimento doloroso ou estressante. Objetivo: Avaliar os parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios e escala de dor em prematuros da UTIN durante a realização do método canguru. Método: Estudo observacional tipo antes e depois, com recém-nascidos prematuros internados na UTIN do HC da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu/SP - UNESP, no período de julho a novembro de 2022. Foi avaliado o efeito do MC na frequência cardíaca, frequência respiratória, saturação periférica de oxigênio e sinais de dor pela escala NFCS em 3 momentos: antes, após 10 e 60 minutos de realização do método. Os dados foram comparados nos 3 momentos de avaliação por meio de análise de variância univariada para medidas repetidas, com significância em 5%. Resultados: Foram avaliados 32 prematuros com idade gestacional média de 30 semanas e média de peso ao nascer de 1480g. No dia da realização do MC 40% recebiam assistência respiratória não invasiva. Após 10 minutos do MC houve significativa redução da FC, FR e pontuação da NFCS, bem como aumento da saturação de O2. Esses efeitos benéficos persistiram com 60 minutos, exceto a FC. Dos 13 prematuros que apresentavam sinais de dor antes do MC, apenas um persistiu aos 10 minutos de MC e nenhum aos 60 minutos. Conclusão: Houve benefícios imediatos do método canguru nos parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios e na dor de prematuros.
