Impacts of adopting specialized agricultural programs relying on “good practice” – Empirical evidence from fruit growers in Vietnam
Authors: Thanh Truc Ngo Thi , Thuc Le Vinh 
Published: February 2022

AbstractVietnamese Good Agricultural Practice (VietGAP) has been introduced in many provinces in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam to enhance the competitive advantage to fruit growers, including Idor longan (Dimocarpus longanLour.) growers, to explore the stricter domestic and export markets and increase the income of the fruit growers in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. This article presents a case study on the impacts of adopting VietGAP on the income of fruit growers (Idor longan) in the Mekong Delta by applying bothT-test and Propensity Score Matching of 180 VietGAP and non-VietGAP adopters. The results show that applying VietGAP can reduce production cost, increase revenue, and profit to fruit growers. This is evidence to prove the benefits of adopting VietGAP and encourage the expansion of VietGAP to many fruits and other agricultural sectors in Vietnam.
Spectroscopic Investigation of the System TeCl4/[NEt4]PF6 in Solution and the Crystal Structure of [NEt4]2[Te2Cl10]
Authors: Fleischer Holger , Schollmeyer Dieter 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Solutions containing TeCl4and [NEt4][PF6] in CH2Cl2 were investigated by means of UV/vis and NMR spectroscopy in order to study the complex chemistry of TeCl4 with the [PF6]− anion. The results show formation of [TeCl5]− and strong interactions of [PF6]− with a tellurium containing species, presumably [TeCl3]+. The life time of the TeIV-PF6 complex is long enough to give different signals in the 19F NMR spectrum of a solution containing excess [PF6]−. Even a fivefold excess of Cl− ions over [PF6]− does hardly lead to a dissociation of [TeCl3・ ・ ・PF6]. Crystals of [NEt4]2[Te2Cl10] were obtained from a 4:1 solution of [NEt4]PF6 and TeCl4 in CH2Cl2. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1, a = 0.82626(7), b = 1.04260(8), c=1.9915(3) nm, α = 84.641(9), β = 84.891(9), γ = 75.208(6)◦ (T = 295 K). Slight variations in the molecular environment can have a substantial influence on the interatomic distances within the Te2Cl2 bridge of the [Te2Cl10]2− ion. This conclusion is confirmed by ab initio calculations.
Crystal Structure and Thermal Solid-State Reactivity of Ammonium Cyanoureate NH4[H2NC(=O)NCN]
Authors: Lotsch Bettina V. , Schnick Wolfgang 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The ammonium salt of cyanourea NH4[H2NC(=O)NCN] has been synthesised via an acid-base route from the parent acid and characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction,NMR and vibrational spectroscopy, mass spectrometry as well as thermal analysis. The molecular salt (P21/c, a = 388.95(8), b = 1121.0(2), c = 1096.4(2) pm, β = 92.57(3)◦, V = 477.5(2)・106 pm3, Z = 4, T = 140 K) which may formally be derived from the related compound ammonium dicyanamide NH4[N(CN)2] by addition of one molecule water, consists of isolated ammonium and cyanoureate ions which are assembled via H・ ・ ・N and H・ ・ ・O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional arrangement. At elevated temperatures, ammonium cyanoureate undergoes a complex transformation affording the formation of urea and cyanoguanylurea H2NC(=O)NHC(NH2)=NCN or the isomeric ammeline (C3N3)(NH2)2(OH) as the main products, depending on the reaction conditions. The transformation is accompanied by consecutive reactions such as proton transfer and the dis- and reassembly of molecular fragments, yielding a macroscopic segregation of the reaction products. The conversion represents yet another example of a complex reaction proceeding in the solid-state.

Authors: Weiss Jeffrey , Gage Sandra , Kusma Jared , Mirea Lucia 
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND
As the number of late-career pediatric hospitalists increases, issues regarding aging and retirement will require more attention. Long shifts and overnight clinical responsibilities may be challenging for older physicians. Our study objectives include investigation of the current state of practice regarding work hours, night call responsibilities, productivity requirements, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) exposure modifications, and division chief knowledge about retirement supports for late-career pediatric hospitalists.

METHODS
This cross-sectional study used a web survey, distributed in spring of 2020 on the American Academy of Pediatrics, Section on Hospital Medicine, Division Chief listserv. The questionnaire asked about (1) program demographics, (2) overnight call responsibilities, (3) clinical schedules, (4) modifications for COVID-19, and (5) retirement benefits and supports. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and the Fisher exact test.

RESULTS
The 47 responding programs employ 982 hospitalists in 728 full-time equivalent positions. Division chiefs estimated 117 (12%) individuals were aged 50 to 64 years and 16 (1.6%) were 65 years or older. Most programs (91%) had at least 1 member 50 to 64 years of age; 13 programs (28%) had a member aged 65 or older. Larger programs were more likely to allow older physicians to opt out of some night call responsibilities. Most programs made some accommodations for COVID-19 exposure. Other than financial counseling and academic benefits, most programs did not provide retirement counseling or other supports for retiring physicians.

CONCLUSION
Although limited by a low response rate, we found most programs had older faculty. Substantial variation exists in how programs make accommodations and offer support for older members.

OBJECTIVES
To establish statewide consensus priorities for safer in-person school for children with medical complexity (CMC) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic using a rapid, replicable, and transparent priority-setting method.

METHODS
We adapted the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative Method, which allows for crowdsourcing ideas from diverse stakeholders and engages technical experts in prioritizing these ideas using predefined scoring criteria. Crowdsourcing surveys solicited ideas from CMC families, school staff, clinicians and administrators through statewide distribution groups/listservs using the prompt: “It is safe for children with complex health issues and those around them (families, teachers, classmates, etc.) to go to school in-person during the COVID-19 pandemic if/when…” Ideas were aggregated and synthesized into a unique list of candidate priorities. Thirty-four experts then scored each candidate priority against 5 criteria (equity, impact on COVID-19, practicality, sustainability, and cost) using a 5-point Likert scale. Scores were weighted and predefined thresholds applied to identify consensus priorities.

RESULTS
From May to June 2021, 460 stakeholders contributed 1166 ideas resulting in 87 candidate priorities. After applying weighted expert scores, 10 consensus CMC-specific priorities exceeded predetermined thresholds. These priorities centered on integrating COVID-19 safety and respiratory action planning into individualized education plans, educating school communities about CMC’s unique COVID-19 risks, using medical equipment safely, maintaining curricular flexibility, ensuring masking and vaccination, assigning seats during transportation, and availability of testing and medical staff at school.

CONCLUSIONS
Priorities for CMC, identified by statewide stakeholders, complement and extend existing recommendations. These priorities can guide implementation efforts to support safer in-person education for CMC.

Published: February 2022

Introduction. Melanoma skin is a tumor with a high metastatic potential. Often, its lymphogenous spread is realized in the first place. That is why the assessment of the state of the regional zones of lymph drainage is a prognostically significant aspect of the diagnosis of this disease. The study objective – to estimate the possible predictive value of the results of preoperative lymphoscintigraphy for multiple regional lymph node involvement in clinically localized cutaneous melanoma.Materials and methods. The study involved 89 patients with clinically localized cutaneous melanoma who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsyand regional lymphadennectomy. Morphological findings were compared with the results of preoperative lymphoscintigraphy. Results. In this paper, quantitative data such as the number of lymphatic drainage areas, the number of sentinel lymph nodes in one anatomic region and their combination were considered. Conclusion. It was impossible to determine unambiguously the number of involved lymph nodes. However, the lymphoscintigraphic findings were suggestive of a higher risk for multiple lymph node involvement in patients with several accumulation zones and several lymphatic drainage areas.

Introduction. The evolution of rapid prototyping technologies, novel high-precision metalworking equipment, and prompt implementation of additive technologies into practice have significantly expanded the possibilities of producing new biomechanical structures. Therefore, the development of novel methods and approaches ensuring rapid and highly effective designing and manufacturing of individual implants is highly relevant. Objective – to develop a technology that allows rapid design and manufacturing of implants for maxillofacial surgery. Results. In this study, we analyzed the technology of rapid design and production of individual jaw implants based on computed tomography data, which reduced the duration of surgery by ~50 % (from 3–4 h to 2–2.5 h) and allowed one-stage surgery. We achieved high toughness of implants and excluded the risk of fatigue destruction of a biome chanical structure due to increased cyclic loads. Conclusion. Rapid production of individual jaw implants described in this article ensured high productivity of the pro cess of producing individual biomechanical structures and helped to restore the original contour of the patient’s face with significant lesions to the mandibular bone.

Authors: Babagana Usman , Mohammed Abubakar Auwal 
Published: February 2022

Background: Encephalocoeles are herniation of the brain and its meninges via a midline cranial vault defect or at the base of the skull, at the site of local mesenchymal disruption. It accounts for 10% to 20% of all the cranial and spinal dysraphisms found in 1/5000 live births.Method: It is a 5 year retrospective study on 42 cases of encephalocoele managed in a Nigerian Tertiary Medical Centre. We extracted the clinical findings and surgical management outcomes from the patient's case notes.Result: Ages at presentation were Neonates (24, 57.1%), ≤3 months (35, 83.3%), with mode of 2 days. Males (12, 28.6%), females (30, 71.4%), with M:F=1:2.5. Posterior (occipital) lesions (36, 85.7%), anterior (6, 14.3%). Variable size lesions (33, 78.6%), giant encephalocoeles (9, 21.4%). Hydrocephalus (16, 38.1%) included pre-excision HCP (12, 75% of 16) and post excision HCP (4, 25% of 16). Available neuroimaging was TFUSS (all, 100%), CT Scan (20, 47.6%), MRI (2, 4.8%). Surgery of excision and repair (36, 85.7%), combined craniofacial repair (6, 14.3%), additional ventriculoperitoneal shunt (16, 38.1%). Post-operative complications included CSF leak (2, 4.8%), superficial surgical site infection (3, 7.1%), meningitis (1, 2.4%), shunt infection (4, 9.5%), shunt obstruction (7, 16.7%). Outcomes were good (38, 90.5%), blind (3, 7.1%), vegetative (1, 2.4%), death (1, 2.4%).Conclusions: Encephalocoeles are an uncommon congenital type of neural tube defect containing herniated brain tissue. Posterior (occipital) lesions are commoner (and maybe of giant size) than anterior lesions (Sincipital). Surgical outcomes are generally good.
An update on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of sphenopalatine neuralgia
Authors: Swanson Daniel , Lewis Kendall , Thornhill Katherine , Fabian Isabella , Kaye Alan D. , Viswanath Omar , Urits Ivan 
Published: February 2022

<p class="abstract">This report intends to summarize the underlying pathophysiology, relevant symptoms, appropriate diagnostic workup, necessary imaging, and medical and surgical treatments of Sphenopalatine neuralgia (SN). This was done through a comprehensive literature review of peer-reviewed literature throughout the most relevant databases. Dr. Greenfield Sluder first observed that a number of his patients had atypical headaches that caused referred pain to the head and neck regions. The current understanding of the pathophysiology of SN states that irritation of the pterygopalatine ganglion secondary to inflammatory processes of the posterior ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses causes symptoms including unilateral persistent headache that begins lateral to the nose or near the eye and radiates across the face. Diagnosis is typically clinical; however, this is challenging due to lack of a definitive diagnostic criteria. Dr. Sluder originally treated his patients with 20-67% cocaine that was injected into the pterygopalatine ganglion to relieve the pain. Today, we use 88% phenol applied to the nasal mucosa. The most definitive way to both diagnoses and treat SN is the injection of cocaine or 88% phenol into the sphenopalatine region. The aim of the study was to update providers on the important clinical signs of SN and the important distinction between the clinically distinct conditions of sphenopalatine neuralgia and cluster headache. This report also outlines the treatment options to address this condition. </p>
Development of DVT in an operated case of cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty during COVID pandemic: a case report
Authors: Mahajan Neetin Pralhad , Pande Kartik Prashant , Bagimani Pramod K. , Dadhaniya Ravi 
Published: February 2022

<p class="abstract">One of the most common treatment for fracture neck of femur in the elderly is bipolar hemi-arthroplasty which is associated with the patient being mobilized early, lower complication rate, longer implant life. Both uncemented and cemented arthroplasty have been associated with good outcomes, however cemented arthroplasty has higher incidences of DVT due to the thrombogenic potential of cement in addition to the hypercoagulability due to the femoral fracture. Hence, DVT remains a life-threatening complication of arthroplasty, despite the preventive measures owing also to certain genetic and acquired risk factors. We have a 70-year-old female patient, who presented to us with a post traumatic right sided displaced neck of femur with greater trochanter fracture following an alleged history of slip and fall at home who was operated with cemented bipolar hemi-arthroplasty. The patient developed deep vein thrombosis of the operated limb even after adequate mobilization with full weight bearing over the operated limb from post op day 2 and other adequate physiotherapy exercises such as hip/knee ROM exercises and ankle pump exercises. Although, our case report seems to be too far-fetched in terms of correlating this episode of DVT even after adequate mobilization from POD-2 to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic causing a sub-clinical asymptomatic coronavirus infection causing an increased hypercoagulability of the blood as has been demonstrated by various studies, it does provide substantial evidence which warrants wider multi-centric studies in order to provide a definite correlation of the aforementioned scenario. </p>
People-Powered Planning: Planning from the bottom up in a top-down system
Authors: Collins Patrick 
Published: February 2022

This paper is concerned with spatial policy in Ireland. It adopts an historical lens to help explain why Ireland currently finds itself at the bottom of the European league table with regard to local governance. After categorising the Irish political and planning system as highly centralised, bureaucratic and linear, the paper uses a case study of the Moycullen village plan to show an alternate path towards place development in Ireland. This case study sets out to contrast the desire of a people to collaborate in the authorship of their place with the top down nature of spatial planning in Ireland. By making clear the methods and results of the project, this paper highlights the latent demand that exists in a community that is subject to national planning system that reduces their ability to affect change. Through the use of some innovative approaches, this project has sought to fire the geographic imaginary of a people with respect to their place.
Site Selection for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill: Case Study of Artvin, Turkey
Authors: Akinci Halil , Demirarslan Kazim Onur 
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT
This study aimed to select a landfill site for the disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) produced in the central district of Artvin Province in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. Although Artvin has a smaller population compared to other provinces in the region, it has become increasingly important as it hosts sensitive ecological areas as well as dams used for energy production. Currently, the MSW collected in the provincial center is disposed through uncontrolled dumping. The topographic structure of the region is rather rough, which makes the selection and application of disposal methods difficult. However, increasing detrimental impact on the environment justifies the immediate necessity for a new landfill site. These considerations necessitate a study for landfill site selection in the region. Many different factors are considered when selecting the site for a landfill, and, thus, the process is not a simple one. In this study, various factors, including geology, slope, land use, distance from settlements, roads, surface waters, faults, and protected sites, as well as the landslide and flood susceptibility of the site, were taken into consideration. These factors were standardized using the fuzzy membership functions and weighted through the analytical hierarchy process. Spatial analysis in the GIS environment revealed that 99.91 percent of the study area was considered unsuitable, 0.08 percent moderately suitable, and only 0.01 percent suitable for landfilling. The study identified two sites that can be used as a landfill.
Small-Scale Determination of Total Phenols, Tannins, and Flavonoids from Foliar Tissue Using Colorimetric Assays

Published: February 2022

Abstract
The quantification of plant secondary metabolites at levels higher than the population (i.e. community and ecosystem) requires the implementation of efficient, low-cost, and small-scale assays. We propose a modified protocol based on the Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric assay that integrates the simultaneous quantitative determination of total phenols and total tannins from 40 µL of methanolic extract, and a modified aluminum chloride assay to quantify total flavonoids from 20 µL of methanolic extract. These miniaturized microplate colorimetric assays were tested and adjusted to work with as little as 50 mg of foliar tissue and to encompass the variation of secondary metabolite concentrations present in trees of 77 species, 58 genera, and 27 families from conserved and secondary tropical dry forest. At present, these new protocols are of great relevance to study ecological processes in highly diverse and strongly threatened ecosystems.
