A field experiment, aimed to study the effect of drip irrigation levels and weed management practices on quality and productivity of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) in mango orchard was carried out at Pt. K.L. S. College of Horticulture and Research Station, Rajnandgaon (Chhattisgarh) during two consecutive years (2019-20 and 2020-21). The results indicated that all the quality parameters like total carbohydrate in rhizomes, volatile oil yield in rhizomes, oil yield and curcumin content in turmeric were significantly higher values observed when the crop imposed to drip irrigation at 1.0 Epan and hand weeding thrice at 25, 50 and 75 DAP in 2019-20 and 2020-21. However, flood irrigation at 1.0 Epan and weedy check plot recorded the lowest values of these parameters during both years. The combination of drip irrigation at 1.0 Epan with hand weeding thrice at 25, 50 and 75 DAP recorded significantly the highest fresh rhizomes yield (29.10, 32.40 and 30.75 t ha-1) and cured rhizomes yield (6.58, 6.93 and 6.76 t ha-1) during kharif -rabi 2019-20 and 2020-21and on mean basis, respectively.

Molecular characterization was done for Green gram genotypes using SSR markers. The 14 green gram genotypes were clustered using ward method and squared Euclidean distance using nine SSR markers. As per dissimilarity coefficient, genotypes were grouped into three clusters namely Cluster I which consisted of 6 genotypes and divided into two sub Clusters IA consist of IPM2-3, IPM-99-125, PUSA-0672, DGGV-2 and sub cluster IB consists of MH-2-5, HUM-16 Cluster II and Cluster III, Cluster II consisted of 4 genotypes that was further divided into three sub clusters IIA consisted of MH-3-18, PUSA VSHAL and sub cluster IIB consisted of one genotype namely PANT MUNG-5, sub cluster IIC had PUSA-9531. Cluster III consisted of 4 genotypes divided into two sub clusters IIIA consists of SML-668, SML-832 and sub cluster IIIB consisted of IPMD-604-1-7, OBGG-58. Polymorphic information content values (PIC) ranged from 0.000 to 0.704 per locus with an Average value of 0.519. Among 9 markers SSR VR91 generated highest percent of PIC value. Based on the polymorphic band results PCA was performed for 9 SSR markers for 14 Green gram genotypes among all the factors PC1 TO PC9, the PC1 (25.872) accounted for maximum proportion of variability in the set of all variables and PC9 (0.372) accounted for progressively lesser amount of variability. It can be concluded from the above results that the highest Eigen value for PC1 (2.328) and the least is PC9 with (0.033) were registered.

The field investigation was carried out for two years at the Students’ Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during spring season of 2018 and 2019. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with four levels of gypsum (0, 125, 175 and 225 kg ha-1) in combination with two gypsum application stages (full at sowing and 50 % at sowing + 50 % at flower initiation stage) in the main plot and three levels of nitrogen and phosphorus (15 kg N ha-1 + 20 kg P2O5 ha-1, 25 kg N ha-1 + 30 kg P2O5 ha-1 and 35 kg N ha-1 + 40 kg P2O5 ha-1) in the sub-plot. Application of 225 kg ha-1 gypsum resulted in maximum kernel N, P, K and S concentration and haulm P and S concentration, which was statistically at par with 175 kg ha-1 and 125 kg ha-1 gypsum, while significantly higher than control. Split application of gypsum recorded non-significant results on concentration of N, P, K, Ca and S in haulm and kernel during both the year. The concentration of N, P, K, Ca and S in haulm and kernel was maximum with application of 35 kg N ha-1 + 40 kg P2O5 ha-1, except for K and Ca in kernel which was significantly higher than lower dose. Soil characteristics such as pH, EC and organic carbon analysed after the harvest of crop were non-significantly affected by the application of different gypsum levels, stage of gypsum application and different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus during both the years. Available phosphorus in soil was highest with 225 kg ha-1 gypsum which was at par with 175 and 125 kg ha-1 gypsum, while significantly higher over control. Available calcium and sulphur of soil were maximum with 225 kg ha-1 gypsum, which was at par with 175 kg ha-1 gypsum while significantly higher than lower levels. Available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and sulphur in soil were non-significantly affected by different gypsum application stages. Available nitrogen and phosphorus in soil was highest with 35 kg N ha-1 + 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 and significantly higher over other levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. Available calcium and sulphur in soil were non-significantly affected by different nitrogen and phosphorus levels during both the years. The application of 225 kg ha-1 gypsum, gypsum applied in two splits and application of 25 kg N ha-1 + 30 kg P2O5 ha-1 resulted maximum pod yield of spring groundnut.

Amelia affects approximately 0.05 to 0.09 out of every 10,000 newborn babies. The complete absence of a limb may occur in isolation or as a part of multiple congenital malformations. The condition is uncommon and very little is known with certainty about the etiology, It could also be sporadic and can be caused by teratogens such as thalidomide, alcohol, vascular compromise by amniotic bands and maternal diabetes mellitus. Amelia's genesis has also been linked to various types of heredity.
We report a term female neonate delivered by a healthy 30-year-old primipara in North-Western Nigeria, with the two upper limbs completely missing at birth, other parts of the body were essentially normal. The maternal history revealed no known identifiable risk factor for Amelia. We are reporting this case because of the rarity of this congenital defect.
How Pedagogues Support Inclusion in Denmark: Experiences, Barriers, and Recommendations
Authors: Gulløv Cristina , Murawski Wendy W 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Danish school reform around inclusive practices became more prevalent in 2014, and efforts to address the needs of children with disabilities increased. One of the primary ways to meet students' needs in an inclusive setting was to move pedagogues out of their traditionally after-school social settings into the general education classroom to co-teach with content teachers. This qualitative study followed groups of pedagogues and classroom teachers in Denmark for two years, using interviews and observations to ascertain the challenges and successes of co-teaching between pedagogues and teachers. The results mirror in many ways the current research on co-teaching in other countries and with other collaborating professionals. The challenges, barriers, and successes experienced by pedagogues and teachers who were expected to co-teach due to Danish school reform on inclusion are shared. Recommendations build on existing literature and address the unique role that Danish pedagogues can play in moving inclusive practices forward and how their experiences can be applied to co-teachers in other countries and settings.

Published: September 2023

Abstract

The widespread decline of insect pollinators poses a conservation concern and threatens both the pollination of wild plants and crops. Primary drivers of pollinator decline are habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation, which to a large extent result from agricultural intensification.

Numerous tools have been developed to aid decision‐making relating to insect pollinators and pollination in agricultural landscapes. These tools provide valuable information for understanding the drivers of insect population changes in agricultural areas and projecting future population trends in response to various actions.

However, there is currently no comprehensive list of available tools, and their usability (ease of use and acceptability for conducting tasks) for decision‐making purposes.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to understand what tools have been designed, their commonalities and their suitability for different decision context, to ensure the effectiveness of pollinator‐friendly management and conservation actions.

In this study, we present a systematic map methodology that will collate and catalogue relevant tools relating to insect pollinators and/or pollination in agricultural landscapes. We will conduct searches in bibliographic databases such as ‘Web of Science Core Collection’ and ‘Scopus’ using a tested search string. Additionally, we will manually search grey literature using web‐based engines (Google Scholar and ProQuest) and websites. After removing duplicates, the search results will be screened sequentially based on predetermined eligibility criteria, including title, abstract, and full text.

The extracted data will provide metadata for mapping the usability of the tools, utilising descriptive tables, statistics and figures. Usability will be assessed across three categories: the tool itself, the user and the user‐context.

The results from this mapping exercise can support researchers in synthesising progress in terms of pollinator‐related tools, and direct research and development efforts to bridge the identified gaps and shortcomings. It will also have significant implications for managers, stakeholders and policymakers, by providing guidance on existing tools and supporting informed tool choices.

ObjectiveLung disease (LD) is an increasingly recognized complication of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). As there are no currently available guidelines for pulmonary screening in sJIA, we sought to develop such an algorithm at our institution.MethodsA multidisciplinary workgroup was convened, including members representing rheumatology, pulmonary, stem cell transplantation, and patient families. The workgroup leaders drafted an initial algorithm based on published literature and experience at our center. A modified Delphi approach was used to achieve agreement through three rounds of anonymous, asynchronous voting and a consensus meeting. Statements approved by the workgroup were rated as appropriate with moderate or high levels of consensus. These statements were organized into the final approved screening algorithm for LD in sJIA.ResultsThe workgroup ultimately rated 20 statements as appropriate with a moderate or high level of consensus. The approved algorithm recommends pulmonary screening for newly diagnosed patients with sJIA with clinical features that the workgroup agreed may confer increased risk for LD. These “red flag features” include baseline characteristics (young age of sJIA onset, human leukocyte antigen type, trisomy 21), high disease activity (macrophage activation syndrome [MAS], sJIA‐related ICU admission, elevated MAS biomarkers), respiratory symptoms or abnormal pulmonary examination findings, and features of drug hypersensitivity‐like reactions (eosinophilia, atypical rash, anaphylaxis). The workgroup achieved consensus on the recommended pulmonary work‐up and monitoring guidelines.ConclusionWe developed a pulmonary screening algorithm for sJIA‐LD through a multidisciplinary consensus‐building process, which will be revised as our understanding of sJIA‐LD continues to evolve.

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe exploration of bionic neuromorphic chips, capable of processing sensory data in a human‐like manner, is both a trend and a challenge. There is a strong demand for phototransistors that offer broadband in‐sensor adaptability. This study introduces a bioinspired vision sensor based on InP quantum dots (QDs)/InSnZnO hybrid phototransistors. This novel design combines the excellent electrical transportation features of oxide semiconductors with the superior optoelectronic response of InP QDs. The resulting hybrid devices exhibit exceptional gate controllability and a robust visible‐light response. These characteristics enable the emulation of multiple functions of the human visual system and the accommodation of varying light intensity environments. Furthermore, the phototransistor array successfully replicates the scotopic and photopic adaptation recognition behaviors of the human retina. Notably, the device demonstrates faultless competency in image processing, achieving an impressive 93% accuracy for digit recognition. These findings contribute to the advancement of bionic neuromorphic chips and offer promising opportunities for future developments in the bioinspired visual system.

Published: September 2023

AbstractIn vitro models are essential to a broad range of biomedical research, such as pathological studies, drug development, and personalized medicine. As a potentially transformative paradigm for 3D in vitro models, organ‐on‐a‐chip (OOC) technology has been extensively developed to recapitulate sophisticated architectures and dynamic microenvironments of human organs by applying the principles of life sciences and leveraging micro‐ and nanoscale engineering capabilities. A pivotal function of OOC devices is to support multifaceted and timely characterization of cultured cells and their microenvironments. However, in‐depth analysis of OOC models typically requires biomedical assay procedures that are labor‐intensive and interruptive. Herein, the latest advances toward intelligent OOC (iOOC) systems, where sensors integrated with OOC devices continuously report cellular and microenvironmental information for comprehensive in situ bioanalysis, are examined. It is proposed that the multimodal data in iOOC systems can support closed‐loop control of the in vitro models and offer holistic biomedical insights for diverse applications. Essential techniques for establishing iOOC systems are surveyed, encompassing in situ sensing, data processing, and dynamic modulation. Eventually, the future development of iOOC systems featuring cross‐disciplinary strategies is discussed.

AbstractElectrospun fibrous structures can be developed superhydrophobic while remaining breathable. However, current electrospinning‐based methods for developing superhydrophobicity require complex fabrication processes and multiple raw materials, lacking a facile approach to superhydrophobicity using electrospun fibers. Inspired by a cultural relic known as Plain Gauze Gown, a fibrous structure consisting two layers of porous fibers aligned in warp and weft directions by simple electrospinning is developed. Through investigation of wetting behavior, an unique Cassie–Baxter‐“restoring” (CaRe) wetting contributing to a stable Cassie–Baxter state is unveiled in the developed structure. The CaRe wetting ensures that droplet stays on the upper‐layer fibers even at a sparse inter‐fiber distance, enabling strategically reaching superhydrophobicity by lowering structure solidity. Remarkably, the developed structure with water contact angle between 159° and 162° and roll‐off angle from 10° to 3° has a water vapor transmission rate of 20.8 kg m−2 d−1, which is the highest value among all superhydrophobic electrospun structures reported, and it is also waterproof and semi‐transparent. These features make the structure suitable for a wide range of applications, including developing waterproof, breathable, and superhydrophobic membrane with simple preparation and low cost, and as a surface layer for wearable electronics that facilitates sweat evaporation and prevents water intrusion.
Next Generation of Brain Cancer Nanomedicines to Overcome the Blood–Brain Barrier (BBB): Insights on Transcytosis, Perivascular Tumor Growth, and BBB Models
Authors: Bor Gizem , Hosta‐Rigau Leticia 
Published: September 2023

AbstractBrain cancers, particularly malignant gliomas such as glioblastoma, are highly invasive and characterized by elevated complexity, heterogeneity, and high infiltration ability. Therefore, they pose a significant challenge to conventional treatments due to the limited drug permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), the involvement of numerous acquired and intrinsic drug resistance mechanisms in metastatic brain tumors, and the high sensitivity of surrounding healthy tissues. Despite recent advances in diagnosis and treatment, their prognosis remains poor, with their median overall survival rarely exceeding 12 months. To overcome these limitations, different nanomedicine‐based therapeutic approaches have recently been proposed, aiming to provide more effective and safer drug delivery for targeting brain cancers. However, most reported nanomedicines to date have failed to meet the high expectations in the clinic. This fact can be attributed to limited understanding of brain tumor biology and lack of knowledge about bio‐nanoparticle interactions, among other factors. This review discusses recent progress in brain cancer nanomedicines, with a particular focus in understanding intracellular sorting mechanisms, perivascular tumor growth, and the design of advanced BBB models. It also highlights how an improved understanding of brain tumor biology can pave the way for designing safer and more effective nanomedicines for brain cancer treatment.

AbstractThe properly applied pressure between the skin and hemostasis devices is an essential parameter for preventing bleeding and postoperative complications after a transradial procedure. However, this parameter is usually controlled based on the subjective judgment of doctors, which might cause insufficient hemostatic effect or thrombosis. Here this study develops a compact and wireless sensing system for continuously monitoring the pressure applied on the radial artery and wrist skin in clinical practice. A liquid metal (LM)‐based all‐soft pressure sensor is fabricated to enable conformal attachment between the device and skin even under large deformation conditions. The linear sensitivity of 0.007 kPa−1 among the wide pressure range of 0–100 kPa is achieved and the real‐time detection data can be wirelessly transmitted to mobile clients as a reference pressure value. With these devices, detailed pressure data can be collected, analyzed, and stored for medical assistance as well as to improve surgery quality.

Published: September 2023

AbstractPolythiophenes, built on head‐to‐head (HH) linked 3,3′‐oligomer ethylene glycol‐2,2′‐bithiophene (gT2), have simple chemical structure, good backbone planarity, and relatively high‐lying the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels, hence showing excellent p‐type performance in organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) with µC* of several hundred F cm−1 V−1 s−1. In this study, sequential cyano substitution is utilized to enable transformation of charge carrier polarity from p‐type to n‐type in OECTs, based on the parent polythiophene g4T2‐T2. With the increase of cyano group number, the polythiophenes exhibit gradually lowered LUMO levels from −2.55 to −3.90 eV. As a result, from g4T2‐T2 to CNg4T2‐CNT2, the p‐type performance dramatically diminishes accomplished by the enhancement of n‐type one when applied in OECTs. To the authors' delight, polymer CNg4T2‐CNT2 with the highest content of cyano groups exhibits a remarkable n‐type µC* of 27.01 F cm−1 V−1 s−1 and high gm,norm of 6.75 S cm−1 with negligible p‐type character. This study demonstrates that sequential cyano substitution provides a powerful approach for developing high‐performance n‐type polymers for OECT applications.
Essential updates 2021/2022: Update in surgical strategy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma

Published: September 2023

AbstractResection is the only potential curative treatment for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC); however, complete resection is often technically challenging due to the anatomical location. Various innovative approaches and procedures were invented to circumvent this limitation but the rates of postoperative morbidity (20%–78%) and mortality (2%–15%) are still high. In patients diagnosed with resectable PHC, deliberate and coordinated preoperative workup and optimization of the patient and future liver remnant are crucial. Biliary drainage is recommended to relieve obstructive jaundice and optimize the clinical condition before liver resection. Biliary drainage for PHC can be performed either by endoscopic biliary drainage or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. To date there is no consensus about which method is preferred. The volumetric assessment of the future remnant liver volume and optimization mainly using portal vein embolization is the gold standard in the management of the risk to develop post hepatectomy liver failure. The improvement of systemic chemotherapy has contributed to prolong the survival not only in patients with unresectable PHC but also in patients undergoing curative surgery. In this article, we review the literature and discuss the current surgical treatment of PHC.
