Opuntia genus is distributed around the world. It grows in a wide range of environmentalconditions, which imply a great variability in fruit yield. Productivity also varies at within-treelevels due to limiting factors like fruiting cladode size. Such a variation can be reducedthrough horticultural practices. However, there are little evidences on that topic undertechnical basis. So, we used a database with variables measured on 63 fruiting 1-year-oldterminal cladodes and their 532 fruits to characterize the dependence of number of fruits percladode or fruit weight on cladode maximum length, width and thickness, as well as therelationships between fruit weight or cladode fruit yield and number of fruits per cladode for the case of Opuntia albicarpa Sheinvar variety ‘Cristalina’ using the boundary line approach.Results suggest it may be recommendable not to remove, through pruning practice, fruiting1-year-old terminal cladodes having ?28 cm, ?16 cm, and ?13 mm in length, width andthickness, respectively, and the convenience of fruit thinning by keeping cladode loads from7 to 14 fruits.
La reticencia como causal de nulidad relativa en el contrato de seguro de vida deudores
Authors: Herrera Henao Héctor Darío 
Published: October 2022

La reticencia u ocultamiento de información por parte del asegurando, que se genera en el momento de la declaración de asegurabilidad - acto de la etapa precontractual del contrato de seguro - se constituye en el momento en el que la ubérrima buena fe, propia de este tipo de contratos, hace presencia real en la atmósfera de la relación aseguraticia. La reticencia – de darse - puede llegar a producir una nulidad relativa en el contrato de seguro, por eso es la muestra más palpable de la confianza que las partes se profesan. Al decidir asegurar, la declaración de asegurabilidad, pone al asegurador en el escenario del “conocer”, que emana de una información, pura y simple, de una información inocente y diáfana; no obstante, y dada la posición de experto del asegurador, y de existir algún viso de ocultamiento, el asegurador está en la obligación de ahondar en ello, mediante pruebas de ciencia, para precisar el real estado de salud del asegurando, es lo que se llama el “deber conocer”, de tal suerte que de aparecer algún dictamen que indique un endeble estado de salud, el asegurador podrá, o bien primar la póliza por un valor más alto (sobre primar), o bien abstenerse del aseguramiento. De asegurar sobre primando, habrá convalidado el estado de salud presentado y no podrá alegar reticencia al momento de la reclamación, toda vez que un indicador de un inestable estado de salud, resultado del deber conocer, lo obliga a entrar en otra fase, de mayor auscultamiento, que es la del “poder conocer”, que le impone asegurarse a plenitud de los detalles más íntimos que puedan estarse presentando. En este punto, lo único que le quedará al asegurador para alegar, será la mala fe del asegurando, y no la reticencia, que ya sería a estas alturas improcedente.

Published: October 2022

The study was conducted to assess the effect of drinking magnetized water (MW) on the offensive odour by the poultry droppings from the broiler chicken (BC). Poultry droppings in poultry farm normally give offensive odour around the area where poultry farm is sited. Drinking MW could improve the digestibility of feed and dryness of the poultry droppings thereby reducing the ammonia (NH3), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and offensive odour. BCs (Arbor Acres breed) were given MW. The magnetic water treatment unit comprises a 20 by 60 mm rectangular plastic pipe and 960 mm long surrounded with 12 pieces of a 10 × 25 × 50 mm neodymium magnet rated 1.5T. The treatments were MW treated for 33 s (MW1), MW treated for 66 s (MW2), MW3 was treated for 99 s and the control (non-magnetized water, NMW). A total of 80 BCs (day old) with 20 for each treatment were given MW1, MW2, MW3 or NMW and monitored for 7 weeks. Samples of poultry droppings were randomly collected at 4, 5, 6 and 7 weeks. NH3 and H2S were analyzed using standard methods. The mean concentration of NH3 for MW1 varied from 13.10 × 10-3 to 49.85 × 10-3, MW2 varied from 12.50 × 10-3 to 42.64 × 10-3, MW3 varied from 12.43 × 10-3 to 41.32 × 10-3 while the corresponding values for NMW varied from 20.30 × 10-3 to 65.13 × 10-3 mg/L. MW1, MW2 and MW3 reduced the odour by 30.65–55.73%, 52.74–62.40% and 33.42–63.31%, respectively. The effect of drinking MW was significant on the reduction of NH3 at α ≤ 0.025. MW also reduced the concentration of H2S in the poultry droppings. MW is recommended for producing broiler chicken to reduce offensive odour from the poultry farms.

Eggshell waste and husk ash are abundant in Indonesia, with a population of 263 million, which is estimated to reach 483,920 tons and 10 million tons, respectively. However, this waste has not been utilized optimally, so it has a negative impact on the environment. This study aims to analyze the quality (compressive strength and water absorption) of a mixture of eggshells and husk ash as paving blocks for buildings to reduce the environmental burden. The experiment was carried out using a 2 factor factorial design: eggshells (4 levels: 0%, 5%, 7% and 15%); and husk ash (4 levels: 0%, 5%, 8% and 10%). The data were analyzed using analysis of variance, followed by analysis of mean using the least significant difference (LSD). The results showed that the mixture of eggs and husk ash had good quality, so it could reduce the need for Portland cement, which has a negative impact on the environment during production process. The best quality of a paving block was a mixture of 10% of husk ash and 15% of eggshells (A4B4 treatment) with the compressive strength value of 39 Mpa and water absorption of 5.8% (good).

Published: October 2022

Background: The coronavirus disease of 2019 pandemic impacted all facets of health care in the United States, including the professional training for podiatry residents and students. In March of 2020, the Association of American Medical Colleges recommended pausing then modifying all clinical rotations. The podiatric community followed suit. In-person restrictions, cancellations of clerkships, limited clinical experiences, virtual didactic programs, and reduced surgical cases for students and residency programs occurred for many months during the ongoing pandemic. These adaptations impacted the ability of podiatric students to complete clinical rotations and clerkships, which are pivotal to their academic curriculum and residency program application and selection.
Methods: A survey was conducted by the Council of Teaching Hospitals (COTH) and sent out by the American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine. The 2021 postinterview surveys were sent out to all participants in the 2021 Centralized Application Service for Podiatric Residencies Web application and match cycle, both programs and candidates.
Results: The COTH presents results and comments from the 2021 virtual interview experience and residency match. Data and anecdotal comments from the 2021 postinterview survey conducted by COTH, sent out by American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine, are presented here.
Conclusions: Results from the surveys of program directors and candidates show a preference by both groups for in-person interviews despite the personal time demands and increased costs associated with travel.
The Political Lives of Information
Authors: Srinivasan Janaki 
Published: October 2022

How the definition, production, and leveraging of information are shaped by caste, class, and gender, and the implications for development.
Information, says Janaki Srinivasan, has fundamentally reshaped development discourse and practice. In this study, she examines the history of the idea of “information” and its political implications for poverty alleviation. She presents three cases in India—the circulation of price information in a fish market in Kerala, government information in information kiosks operated by a nonprofit in Puducherry, and a political campaign demanding a right to information in Rajasthan—to explore three uses of information to support goals of social change. Countering claims that information is naturally and universally empowering, Srinivasan shows how the definition, production, and leveraging of information are shaped by caste, class, and gender.
Srinivasan draws on archival and ethnographic research to challenge the idea of information as objective and factual. Using the concept of an “information order,” she examines how the meaning and value of information reflect the social relations in which it is embedded. She asks why casting information as a tool of development and solution to poverty appeals to actors across the political spectrum. She also shows how the power to label some things information and others not is at least as significant as the capacity to subsequently produce, access, and leverage information. The more faith we place in what information can do, she cautions, the less attention we pay to its political lives and to the role of specific social structures, individual agency, and material form in the defining, production, and use of that information.
Marseille Mix
Authors: Firebrace William 
Published: October 2022

A journey through the history, cultures, and societies of Marseille.
There are many Marseilles, or at least many versions of Marseille: seaside village, haven of gangsters, gateway to the East, city of immigrants and outcasts. It is by turns the dull bourgeois provincial town where nothing ever happens and the mysterious unknowable city of the Mediterranean. In Marseille Mix, William Firebrace explores the many Marseilles, the invented and the actual. Leading readers down narrow streets, through undulating terrain that seems at once, or serially, Italian, Greek, Levantine, and North African, Firebrace traces the history and culture of Marseille through landscapes, buildings, food, films, literature, and criminology.
In seven chapters, in writing that is by turns essay, narrative, description, list, recipe, glossary, and conversation, Firebrace investigates the city's defining mix. He tells stories of famous Marseillais, including Marcel Pagnol and Antonin Artaud, and famous visitors, including the dying Arthur Rimbaud and Walter Benjamin (who wrote about one visit in “Hashish in Marseille”). He describes the brief period when Marseille was the point of departure for European refugees fleeing the Nazis and the city's mixture of desperation and decadence during the Vichy regime. He visits the basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde and gazes down from its terrace at the panoramic view: an agglomeration of neighborhoods and landscapes that became a city.
Seed Activism
Authors: Peschard Karine E. 
Published: October 2022

How lawsuits around intellectual property in Brazil and India are impacting the patentability of plants and seeds, farmers' rights, and the public interest.
Over the past decade, legal challenges have arisen in the Global South over patents on genetically modified crops. In this ethnographic study, Karine E. Peschard explores the effects of these disputes on people's lives, while uncovering the role of power—material, institutional, and discursive—in shaping laws and legal systems. The expansion of corporate intellectual property (IP), she shows, negatively impacts farmers' rights and, by extension, the right to food, since small farms produce the bulk of food for domestic consumption. Peschard sees emerging a new legal common sense concerning the patentability of plant-related inventions, as well as a balance among IP, farmers' rights, and the public interest.
Peschard examines the strengthening of IP regimes for plant varieties, the consolidation of the global biotech industry, the erosion of agrobiodiversity, and farmers' dispossession. She shows how litigants question the legality of patents and private IP systems implemented by Monsanto for royalties on three genetically modified crop varieties, Roundup Ready soybean in Brazil and Bt cotton and Bt eggplant in India. Peschard argues that these private IP systems have rendered moot domestic legislation on plant variety protection and farmers' rights. This unprecedented level of corporate concentration in such a vital sector raises concerns over the erosion of agricultural biodiversity, farmers' rights and livelihoods, food security, and, ultimately, the merits of extending IP rights to higher life forms such as plants.

Published: October 2022

Background
In recent years Staphylococcus epidermidis has been considered an important and frequent causative agent of health care-associated infections (HAIs), increasing the costs of hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality. Antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation are the most important obstacles in the treatment of infections caused by this microorganism. The aim of this work was to determine the most prevalent STs, as well as the antibiotic resistance profile and biofilm formation of S. epidermidis clinical isolates obtained from hospitalized patients in two hospitals in Acapulco, Guerrero in two time periods.

Methods
Twenty methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis strains isolated from patients with bacteremia in two hospitals in two time periods were analyzed. Identification and antibiotic susceptibility were performed using the Vitek automated system. Molecular confirmation of the identification and methicillin resistance was performed by duplex PCR of the mecA and nuc genes. Biofilm production was analyzed, and the clonal origin was determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST).

Results
We identified 14 antibiotic resistance profiles as well as 13 sequence types (ST), including the new ST761. We also found that ST2 and ST23 were the most prevalent and, together with ST59, were found in both time periods. Seventeen of our clinical isolates were multidrug-resistant, but all of them were sensitive to linezolid and vancomycin, and this was not related to biofilm production. Additionally, we standardized a duplex PCR to identify methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis strains. In conclusion, S. epidermidis STs 2, 23, and 59 were found in both time periods. This study is the first report of S. epidermidis ST761. The clinical isolates obtained in this work showed a high multidrug resistance that is apparently not related to biofilm production.

Background
Infertility is an important health concern worldwide. Although lifestyle habits and behaviors have been widely reported as predictors of IVF outcomes by previous studies, they have not been reported for Romanian women undergoing IVF. In this regard, our pilot study aimed to begin to address the data gap by assessing lifestyle predictors of in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in Romanian women.

Study design
Our pilot study included 35 participants who completed a first IVF cycle at a single infertility center. We evaluated individual self-reported lifestyle habits and behaviors as predictors of IVF outcomes, and employed principal component analysis (PCA) to characterize multiple lifestyle habits and behaviors into personal care product (PCP) use, and healthy diet and physical activity patterns as predictors of IVF outcomes.

Results
Our PCA analysis showed that greater use of PCPs was associated with lower probabilities of pregnancy (RR: 0.92, 95% CI [0.87–0.98]) and live birth (RR: 0.94, 95% CI [0.88–1.01]) while, the healthy dietary habits and physical activity were associated with a higher likelihood of pregnancy, although without statistical significance (RR: 1.10, 95% CI [0.93–1.30]).

Conclusions
In this pilot study we identified associations between IVF outcomes among Romanian women and certain lifestyle habits and behaviors including stress, diet and physical activity, and certain PCP use. We also estimated the joint effects of multiple lifestyle factors using PCA and found that PCP use, healthy dietary habits and physical activity were associated with IVF outcomes.

Published: October 2022

Jaggery is produced from sugarcane in addition to sugar. It plays a great role in rural economy of India. However, till date the jaggery producers are dependent on the sugarcane varieties which are released for those areas. The major factor that governing the consumer preference and marketing of jaggery is its external appearances i.e., colour, texture and storability which in turn depend on sugarcane varieties having high sucrose content, purity and low colloids. Hence this study was taken up to identify suitable sugarcane varieties for high yield and good quality jaggery. A study was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Perumallapalle, Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, Andhra Pradesh, India to identify the sugarcane varieties most suitable for quality jaggery production. Ten promising sugarcane varieties were planted in randomized block design with three replications. All cultivation practices had followed equally for all varieties. The sugarcane varieties were harvested at proper maturity, crushed to extract juice and prepared jaggery. The jaggery was evaluated qualitatively for pH, EC, reducing sugars, ash content, sucrose, moisture, micronutrients viz., Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu and calculated net rendement value (NRV). The jaggery was found to have 70.6 to 86.9% sucrose, 5.12 to 6.80% of reducing sugars, 3.52 to 4.32% of ash, 5.0 to 6.1% of moisture, 9.58 to 11.20 % of recovery, 49.85 to 67.70 of NRV values, 98.6 to 114.1 kg jaggery t-1 of sugarcane. The jaggery prepared from 2012 T 115 had recorded significantly the highest jaggery yield (114.1 kg t-1 of cane), high recovery percent (11.20%) and high NRV (67.70) than other varieties. The varieties viz., 2012 T 183, 2012 T 88 and 2012 T 53 were produced Grade 1 jaggery with high NRV as per Indian standards. The variety 2012 T 115 had higher Fe and Mn (12.15 and 0.38 mg of Fe and Mn/ 100g of jaggery, respectively).
No‐mow amenity grassland case study: Phenology of floral abundance and nectar resource
Authors: Hemmings Kelly , Elton Rebecca , Grange Ian 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Popular campaigns such as No Mow May seek to encourage early‐season forage resource for pollinators in urban green spaces. Land managers need to balance ecological benefits with extent of accessible amenity grassland.
To pilot the identification of a ‘tipping point’ when the nectar resource of unmown grassland exceeds that mown, we surveyed floral abundance in 30 plots on an amenity grassland site at 11 time points between late April and July. Each species’ floral abundance per 1 m2 was multiplied by published nectar sugar values to obtain an overall nectar sugar value per plot.
The nectar sugar value of no‐mow plots was overall significantly higher than for mown plots. However, week‐by‐week analysis revealed that the first significant difference did not occur until mid‐late May when no‐mow plots yielded three times the nectar sugar value of the mown plots. In early‐mid June, there was a significant eightfold divergence followed by a late June to early July decline. Common Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) provided the greatest nectar sugar value, driving significant differences again in mid‐July. No‐mow plots contained twice as many (22 vs. 11) open flower broadleaf species compared to the mown plots.
Land managers could consider extending No Mow May management into June and beyond to maximize nectar sugar resource for pollinators. To comply with S. jacobaea legislation, a management plan and financial resource should be allocated to no‐mow projects.
