The "Pomar Urbano" (Urban Orchard) project focuses on the collaborative monitoring of fruit-bearing plant species in urban areas throughout Brazil.
The project collected a list of 411 fruit-bearing plant species (Soares et al. 2023), both native and exotic varieties found in Brazil. This list was selected from two main sources: the book Brazilian Fruits and Cultivated Exotics (Lorenzi et al. 2006) and the book series Plants for the Future, which includes volumes specifically dedicated to species of economic value in different regions of Brazil, namely the South (Coradin et al. 2011), Midwest (Vieira et al. 2016), Northeast (Coradin et al. 2018) and North (Coradin et al. 2022). To ensure broad geographic coverage, the project spans all 27 state capitals of Brazil. The data collection process relies on the iNaturalist Umbrella and Collection projects. Each state capital has a single collection project, including the fruit-bearing plant species list, and the locality restriction to that specific city. For example, the collection project Pomar Paulistano gathers data from the city of São Paulo. The Umbrella Project Urban Orchard was set to track data from all 27 collection projects.
We firmly believe that these fruit-bearing plant species possess multifaceted value that extends beyond mere consumption. As such, we have assembled a dynamic and multidisciplinary team comprising professionals from various institutions across Brazil in a collaborative effort that encompasses different dimensions of biodiversity value exploration and monitoring, especially phenological data.
One facet of our team is focused on creating products inspired by the diverse array of Brazilian fruit-bearing plants. Their work spans across sectors of the creative industry, including fashion, painting, and graphic design to infuse these natural elements into innovative and sustainable designs (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).
A group of nutrition and health scientists in conjunction with communication and marketing professionals is working to produce engaging media content centered around food recipes that incorporate Brazilian fruits (Fig. 3). These recipes primarily feature the fruit-bearing plants most frequently observed on iNaturalist in the city of São Paulo, allowing us to showcase the local biodiversity while promoting culinary diversity. Some of these recipes are based on the book Brazilian Biodiversity: Flavors and Aromas (Santiago and Coradin 2018). This book is an extensive compendium of food recipes that use fruits derived from native Brazilian species.
Maurice Barrès et l’antisémitisme
Authors: Godo Emmanuel 
Published: September 2023

Maurice Barrès antisémite. La postérité, même oublieuse, sait. Ou croit savoir. Elle a fixé l’image d’un Barrès antidreyfusard, nationaliste extrême et xénophobe, qui lui évite de regarder de trop près une pensée et une œuvre exigeantes, en continuel mouvement, en perpétuel ajustement face aux soubresauts de l’Histoire, qui faisaient dire à Joseph Delteil, l’auteur des Poilus, dès 1928 : « Cet homme est pour moi le grand inconnu de notre siècle. » Un grand inconnu que l’épithète d’antisémite permet d’enfermer dans un enfer mieux claquemuré que pour d’autres infréquentables, comme Louis-Ferdinand Céline auquel son délire verbal confèrerait une sorte de coefficient de littérarité.

Les formations aux métiers du travail social sont remises en question en raison de la difficulté à recruter sur le terrain. Est-ce la qualité des formations qu’il faut remettre en cause et répondre à tout prix aux nouvelles modes, aux logiques de consommation de la formation ou aux pressions des financeurs ? Ne faut-il pas plutôt interroger ce qui fait formation, ce que vont y puiser les futurs professionnels pour tenir bon auprès de ceux qui en ont besoin et le renforcer ? Un monde sans fin passe par l’importance de se recentrer sur la capacité à « être auprès de l’autre » et ce qui le permet dans les pratiques de formation.
Factors affecting the use of improved chickpea seed among smallholder farmers in <em>Gondar Zuria Woreda</em>, Ethiopia
Authors: Asegie A. M. , Giziew A. , Ayalew D. 
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The use of improved seeds is one of the most important factors among the others to increase the production and productivity of crops. However, the use of improved chickpea seeds by smallholder farmers remains low. These resulted in lower productivity of chickpea by smallholder farmers. The factors contributing to the low rate of use of improved chickpea seed in the study area are to be analyzed. Research Method: To achieve the objective of the study, a multi-stage sampling technique was employed. The sample size was determined using the Yamane formula, and 140 sampled households were randomly selected. A proportionate sample of the population was used to determine the size of sample from each kebele . These data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a binary logistic regression model. Findings: The results revealed that 55.71% of respondents are users of improved chickpea seeds. The logistic regression result shows that the use of improved chickpea seed by smallholder farmers is determined by the availability and price of improved seeds, size of land holdings, participation in a field visit, frequency of extension service, proximity to the market, and attractiveness of the market price. The marginal effect result indicates that a unit change in access to improved seeds, participation in a field visit, land size, and seed cost increases the probability of using improved chickpea seed by 40.76%, 11.86%, 11.26%, and 4.27% respectively, among others. Research Limitations: The study was conducted in one geographical area using cross-sectional data. This finding does not show the trends of adoption in the study area or its implications in different parts of the region. Originality/Value: The findings of the study are novel and relatively new to the given geographical area. This study reported specific and new findings on factors that affect the use of improved chickpea seeds in the study area. The findings are important as a source of information for decision-makers, development practitioners, and researchers.
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices of Swine Farmers related to Livestock Biosecurity: A Case Study of African Swine Fever in Vietnam
Authors: Na L. , Thuy N. N. , Beaulieu A. , Hanh T. M. D. , Anh H. H. 
Published: September 2023

Purpose: African Swine Fever (ASF), one of the world’s most contagious and deadly livestock infectious diseases, was introduced to Vietnam in 2019 and has since become one of the biggest threats to the country’s porcine industry. To this day, very little is known about the major drivers of ASF outbreaks – in particular, the generally low levels of biosecurity found on smallholder farms in Vietnam. The main objective of this paper is to assess the knowledge disparities, diverging attitudes, and different practices among smallholder pig farming households that influence the adoption, implementation, and continuation of ASF biosecurity measures in Vietnam.
Research Method: Structured questionnaire surveys were conducted to 183 smallholder pig farming households in December 2020 in four districts of Dong Nai, the largest pig production province in Vietnam. The determinants of farmers’ knowledge and attitude toward ASF were estimated using an ordinal probit regression; a panel-data probit regression approximated the probability of farmers adopting biosecurity measures.
Findings: It was found that, prior to the first outbreaks of ASF in Vietnam in 2019, surveyed pig farmers generally had an inadequate level of knowledge about ASF to be able to successfully prevent and control the disease’s spread. Rather, farmers only managed to significantly improve their understanding of ASF after outbreaks had begun. Model estimates indicate that a better understanding of ASF ultimately helped improve farmers’ attitudes toward ASF biosecurity measures. Additionally, farmers with previous experience in dealing with other livestock infectious disease outbreaks were, in most cases, found to be more willing to implement ASF biosecurity measures. Together, deeper understanding of ASF and more positive attitudes towards ASF prevention and control measures contributed to an overall increase in the likelihood of farmers adopting and implementing appropriate ASF biosecurity practices.
Originality/ Value: This paper highlights the need for improved community education campaigns in efforts to prevent and contain ASF outbreaks, as well as the need for increased financial assistance and support for swine farmers to enable them to adopt effective biosecurity practices.
Memory T Cells in the Immunoprevention of Cancer: A Switch from Therapeutic to Prophylactic Approaches
Authors: Mittra Siddhesh , Harding Shane M , Kaech Susan M 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Cancer immunoprevention, the engagement of the immune system to prevent cancer, is largely overshadowed by therapeutic approaches to treating cancer after detection. Vaccines or, alternatively, the utilization of genetically engineered memory T cells could be methods of engaging and creating cancer-specific T cells with superb memory, lenient activation requirements, potent antitumor cytotoxicity, tumor surveillance, and resilience against immunosuppressive factors in the tumor microenvironment. In this review we analyze memory T cell subtypes based on their potential utility in cancer immunoprevention with regard to longevity, localization, activation requirements, and efficacy in fighting cancers. A particular focus is on how both tissue-resident memory T cells and stem memory T cells could be promising subtypes for engaging in immunoprevention.

Published: September 2023

Levothyroxine tablet has been used for improving serum thyroid hormones. Despite its efficacy, there has been a persistent recurrence. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of levothyroxine regimen (administered as sodium tablets or liquid) therapy, including the regime in combination with other thyroxine hormones, to determine its effectiveness and safety regarding thyroid tumor patient outcomes. An electronic search of the online databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science) was performed in duplicate independently by two authors (SSK and LPY) to identify any potential studies published in the English language from January 2002 to October 2022. The records were retrieved using keywords and MeSH terms. The Cochrane risk of bias tool in the Review Manager (RevMan software version 5.4.) was used to evaluate the risk of bias in the included studies. A total of 18 quality studies were reported on levothyroxine tablets. Results showed that liquid levothyroxine was more efficient than tablet levothyroxine. Further results showed that levothyroxine in combination with L-T3 or I-131 was more effective than L-T4 tablet monotherapy for improving thyroid cancer hormones. Levothyroxine tablet monotherapy is less efficient than liquid levothyroxine and/or levothyroxine combined therapy. This research recommends future research using larger randomized controlled studies.

Authors: Govardhane Balasaheb T , Shinde Apurva D , Gehdoo Raghubirsingh P. , Arora Sanya 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT

Background and Aims:
The practice patterns for airway management vary among anaesthesiologists, depending on various setups and geographical divides. This survey assessed practice patterns in unanticipated difficult intubation and cannot intubate or cannot ventilate (CICV) situations/complete ventilation failure among Indian anaesthesiologists’.

Methods:
A validated questionnaire of 22 items related to practice preferences for airway management among anaesthesiologists was sent to Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists members online through Google Forms and distributed manually to delegates in continuing medical education programme.

Results:
A total of 535 responses were obtained and analysed. In unanticipated difficult laryngoscopy and intubation, the order of preference for alternative airway devices was video laryngoscope (VL, 60.1%), intubating laryngeal mask airway/laryngeal mask airway (23.5%), fibreoptic bronchoscope (13.5%) and optical stylets (1.2%). Advanced difficult airway devices were unavailable in most nursing homes and government non-teaching hospitals. Seventy per cent of respondents experienced CICV situations at least once, most during head and neck surgeries. In CICV situations, the order of choice for the front-of-neck airway access was cricothyroidotomy (CT) by narrow bore cannula (48.9%), tracheostomy by the surgeon (30%), Seldinger CT (12.5%), open surgical CT (5.4%) and scalpel bougie CT (3.2%).

Conclusion:
The VL was the most preferred airway rescue device in unanticipated difficult intubation, and intravenous catheter cricothyroidotomy was the most selected technique in CICV situations.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT

Background and Aims:
Ultrasonography has emerged as a new airway assessment tool. However, its role in predicting difficult airways needs to be explored. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of pre-operative ultrasound assessment of the neck in predicting difficult airways in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia.

Methods:
One hundred and fourteen adult patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia were enrolled in this study. In the pre-operative room, upper airway ultrasound measurements of the neck were obtained, namely, distance from skin to the hyoid bone, distance from skin to the thyroid isthmus and thickness of the base of the tongue. Clinical airway assessment details were noted from the pre-anaesthetic evaluation form. The airway management technique was noted. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess the diagnostic value of these upper airway ultrasound measurements in predicting difficult airways.

Results:
The distance from the skin to the thyroid isthmus in the difficult airway group (0.37 ± 0.133 cm) was significantly higher than in the non-difficult group (P = 0.007). It appeared to be a better predictor of difficult airways and correlated better with clinical tests among the measured ultrasound parameters. The body mass index was significantly higher in the difficult airway group (P = 0.009).

Conclusion:
Considering the difference in means between the two groups, distance from the skin to the thyroid isthmus should be explored as a potential predictor of a difficult airway in studies with a larger sample size.

Authors: Subramanian Brughanya , Asokan Rashima , Ganesan Suganeswari 
Published: September 2023

Purpose:
To study and compare the macular visual functions among the subjects with and without risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.

Methods:
Prospective case–control study involving 20 cases and 17 controls. Subjects were classified as cases with the presence of snoring and controls in the absence of it. Cases were administered with a standardized Berlin Questionnaire and were grouped as high risk and low risk based on their scores. Color discrimination, contrast sensitivity, and photo stress recovery test were measured following a comprehensive eye examination. Body mass index and neck circumference were also measured.

Results:
There were 13 subjects in the high-risk category, 7 subjects in the low-risk category, and 17 subjects in the control group. The total error score in color discrimination was significantly different among high risk (112 ± 84.17), low risk (74 ± 43.98), and controls (56 ± 39.43) (P = 0.04) whereas, contrast sensitivity (P = 0.897), visual acuity (P = 0.95), and photo stress recovery test (P = 0.32) did not show any significant difference.

Conclusion:
High-risk category subjects showed poor color discrimination than controls hence, these individuals must undergo a detailed ophthalmic examination with a color discrimination test and must be evaluated in a sleep clinic.
Study of risk factors in the development of retinopathy of prematurity in late preterms
Authors: Chandra Silni , Ravi Aparna , Sija S. , Prabhu Padma B. 
Published: September 2023

Context:
In India, late preterm babies are susceptible to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). This study is done to assess the incidence of ROP and also to analyze the risk factors involved in the development of ROP in preterm babies between 34 and 36 weeks of gestation.

Aims:
Risk factor analysis of ROP in late preterm babies.

Settings and Design:
This is a prospective observational study done in a tertiary-level multispecialty hospital between January 2020 and January 2022.

Materials and Methods:
Two hundred and eleven preterm babies born between 34 and 36 weeks of gestation were included in the study. Their systemic comorbidities were identified after reviewing their hospital records. They were followed up till their retina reached maturity.

Statistical Analysis:
It was carried out using SPSS software version 17.

Results:
The incidence of ROP was 6.2%. Twelve (92.3%) babies belonged to type 2 ROP. All these babies had a spontaneous resolution of ROP and did not require any intervention. One (7.7%) baby born at 36 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of 1.5 kg, presented at 52 weeks of gestation with Stage 5B of ROP in both eyes. Using univariate regression analysis, SGA status, pleural effusion, chylothorax, congestive cardiac failure, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy, and any intervention were found to be statistically significant. On multivariate analysis, SGA status and hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy were statistically significant.

Conclusions:
All preterm babies born before 37 weeks of gestation should have at least one ROP screening to prevent the development of sight-threatening ROP.
Knowledge of the importance of Vitamin A and awareness of its deficiency among parents of preschool children: A hospital-based study
Authors: Davalbhakta Samira , Shitole Satish 
Published: September 2023

Purpose:
The prevalence of Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is the highest in India among the South Asian countries. Suspected causes for this are insufficient dietary intake, lack of education, and a poor monitoring and surveillance system. Awareness regarding VAD is a must, especially among the parents of preschool children who are the most susceptible to its adverse effects. We aimed to assess the knowledge of Vitamin A, analyze awareness of its deficiency, and study the practice of prophylaxis against VAD among the parents of preschool children.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study involved 385 participants (Cochran’s formula). Guardians or parents of children in the preschool age group were included. A scoring system was applied to the questionnaire distributed to each participant to objectively assess the answers.

Results:
243/385 (63.12%) of the participants had heard of Vitamin A. Of those who had heard of the vitamin, 111/243 (45.68%) were not aware of a single source of Vitamin A. The mean score obtained for the assessment of VAD was 3.29/11, which indicates a low score. Section B assessed the knowledge on VAD, and the mean score obtained was 3.29/11. All 385 respondents were assessed on the consumption of Vitamin A-rich foods. Of these, 160 (41.56%) demonstrated an average practice, or a score between 7 and 10. Very good practice was demonstrated by only 18 (4.68%).

Conclusion:
Overall, a low level of awareness of Vitamin A and its deficiency exists among the population. Despite this, an average practice of Vitamin A food consumption was demonstrated.

Authors: Kumar S. G. Prem , Chavan Shobhana , Ranpise Dhanaji , Vishwakarma Pankaj , Kurian Elizabeth 
Published: September 2023

Purpose:
Inadequate knowledge of patients regarding postoperative home self-care can result in numerous complications and poor visual outcomes. We investigated the knowledge levels of patients on home self-care precautions postdischarge and suggested ways to improve these.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study used a random sample from six partner hospitals in north and west India. Patient’s knowledge regarding postoperative home self-care was assessed in three domains (i) general eye care precautions (GECP), (ii) eye cleaning procedures (ECP), and (iii) instilling medications in the eye (IME). Data were collected using a structured questionnaire.

Results:
A total of 616 patients provided interviews and visual acuity (VA) assessments. The median ages were 65 and 63 years for males and females, respectively. Postsurgery, an overwhelming number had either very good or good VA (91.2%). Overall, the knowledge levels were “moderately adequate” for GECP at 57.9%. However, “inadequate” knowledge levels were found pertaining to ECP and IME domains with 69.8% and 84.3%, respectively. With multiple logistic regression, female patients (odds ratio [OR] 2.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8–4.2) were significantly more likely to have moderate to adequate knowledge of GECP. Those attending both the postoperative review visits were significantly more likely to have moderate to adequate knowledge of ECP (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.3–4.4) and IME (OR 1.5, 95% CI 0.8–2.7), respectively.

Conclusion:
Knowledge levels were moderately adequate for GECP, while inadequate for ECP and IME domains, respectively. Strategies to improve patient participation in postoperative review visits and improve patient education modalities are recommended and discussed.
