On multi-valued version of M-iteration process
Authors: Ullah Kifayat , Ahmad Junaid , Khan Abdul Rahim 
Published: May 2022

We give a multi-valued version of M iterative process [K. Ullah and M. Arshad, Numerical reckoning fixed points Suzuki’s generalized nonexpansive mappings via new iteration process, Filomat 32 (2018) 187–196] in the setting of Banach spaces. After this, we prove some weak and strong convergence results for the class of multi-valued quasi-nonexpansive mappings (which contains the class of multi-valued nonexpansive mappings) with proper numerical examples using multi-valued version of M-iteration process. These results generalize several well-known comparable results in the literature.
On construction of certain Fischer embedded subgroups generated by 3-transpositions in Fi22
Authors: Bani-Ata Mashhour 
Published: May 2022

In this paper, we investigate the Fischer group [Formula: see text]. This group is generated by a conjugacy class of involutions, any non-commuting pair of which has product of order 3. Such involutions are called transpositions and their conjugacy class is denoted by D. Subgroups generated by elements of D are called D-groups as they have been called by Enright [G. M. Enright, The structure and subgroups of the Fischer groups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], Ph.D. thesis, University of Cambridge (1976)], Fischer embedded or 3-transposition groups. Here, we obtain the following main results: • The rank of the groups [Formula: see text], the Weyl group W of type [Formula: see text] over fields of characteristic 2, the group M of shape [Formula: see text] and the group [Formula: see text] are computed. If G is a 3-transposition group (Fischer embedded) for a class [Formula: see text] of transpositions, then [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text], all elements in X commute[Formula: see text]. • We prove that the subgroups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are Fischer embedded and we give an explicit construction for them. It is remarkable to mention that Enright studied certain D-groups under a very strong condition that is [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] where G is the group generated by a proper subset E of D, [Formula: see text] is the derived subgroup of G and E is a single conjugacy class in G. Our study will be carried out without such conditions.
Cyclotomy, cyclotomic cosets and arithmetic properties of some families in 𝔽l[x] 〈xptq−1〉
Authors: Kumar Kapil , Batra Sudhir 
Published: May 2022

Arithmetic properties of some families in [Formula: see text] and hence in [Formula: see text] are obtained by using the cyclotomic classes of order 2 with respect to [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is primitive root modulo [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The form of these cyclotomic classes enables us to generalize the results obtained in [S. Jain and S. Batra, Cyclotomy and arithmetic properties of some families in [Formula: see text], Asian-Eur. J. Math. 13(4) (2020) 2050077].

Ethiopia is not self-sufficient to meet its increasing wheat demand from domestic production partly due to a lack of improved seeds. Efforts are undertaken to fill the gap through off-season production of wheat using supplemental irrigation and modern cultivars adapted to arid areas. This study was carried out to evaluate the genetic variability and adaptability of 15 Ethiopian bread wheat genotypes at different agroecologies in Wolaita and Dawuro zones, Ethiopia. The field experiment was conducted at three locations using a randomized complete block design with three replications during the 2019/2020 main cropping season. Analysis of variance based on 11 morphological agronomic traits and two major wheat diseases revealed that there were highly significant differences (

) among the genotypes for all the traits studied at each location and combined over locations. The top three cultivars viz. Alidoro, Galema, and Honqolo exhibited higher average grain yield (GY) of 4.54 t/ha, 4.36 t/ha, and 4.0 t/ha, respectively, combined over locations. Eight of the traits (72.73%) exhibited moderate (30–60%) to high broad-sense heritability (

Published: May 2022

An investigation of bionomic study of Mansonia species was successfully conducted in Sedang village which is one of the filariasis-endemic areas in Indonesia. The study was carried out for 14 months from April 2017 to May 2018. In order to trap the local mosquitoes in the study area, indoor and outdoor human landing collection method was adopted. During the study, 7,908 mosquitoes were collected which consisted of 13 genera and 40 species of mosquitoes. Moreover, Mansonia uniformis, M. annulifera, and M. indiana were found to be the most abundant, dominant, and high frequency mosquitoes. The filariasis vector analysis through polymerase chain reaction test confirmed that only Mansonia annulifera positively detected as the filariasis vector. Furthermore, the longevity calculation showed that 81% of all the collected Mansonia spp. had already oviposited their eggs which indicates that the studied area possesses high possibilities of filariasis transmission.
Post-release growth of captive-reared Gharial Gavialis gangeticus (Gmelin, 1789) (Reptilia: Crocodilia: Gavialidae) in Chitwan National Park, Nepal

Published: May 2022

Supplementation of wild populations of the Critically Endangered Gharial Gavailis gangeticus with individuals reared in captivity is a widely used conservation management tool in Nepal and India, although its efficacy is uncertain. Measuring post-release growth in Gharial can provide valuable information on acclimation of captive-reared Gharial to the wild and provide growth rates to inform population recovery models. We studied post-release growth of Gharial reared in the Gharial Conservation Breeding Centre, Nepal, following their release into the Chitwan National Park. We used recapture data from known individuals to determine growth and change of mass for 26 Gharial recaptured 0.5–10 years after release. We found that Gharial recaptured two or more years post-release had increased in mass and length despite being over six years old at release, however there was a triangular relationship between time since release and growth: some Gharial had grown very slowly, whilst others had grown much faster. All Gharial recaptured less than two years since release had lost mass and had negligible growth in total length. This data show that there is considerable variation in post-release growth rates, which will lead to some individuals being very old before they reach a potentially mature size class, with unknown implications for reproduction. This variation is important for predicting or modelling recovery in populations where the release of Gharial from captivity is a management tool. Our results also suggest the two years after release are an acclimation phase—when Gharial lose mass and do not grow—which should be considered by release strategies in order to give Gharial the best chance of survival after release.
A checklist of avifauna from different habitats of semi-arid landscape in western parts (Mandsaur and Ratlam districts) of Madhya Pradesh, India
Authors: Bhattacharjee Koushik , Shuvadip Adhikari  
Published: May 2022

We prepared a checklist of avian species recorded from two western districts (Mandsaur and Ratlam) of Madhya Pradesh, situated in a semi-arid region with comments on their habitat preference, feeding habits, migratory, and conservation status; 133 bird species belonging to 47 families were recorded during the present study. About 30% of the species were migratory in status. In terms of habitat fidelity, 74 avian species were found only in a single habitat. Habitat-wise avian richness varied widely. Among five habitats identified during the present study, wetland supported the highest number (69) of avian species of which 58 species were exclusively recorded from this habitat. Eight foraging guilds were identified among which omnivores were dominant. Six species of globally threatened and seven species of near-threatened species were recorded during the present study. The presence of significant numbers of winter migrants and globally threatened species indicated the importance, both ecologically and biologically, of the semi-arid landscape for breeding and migratory birds. Therefore, this work will provide baseline information to conservationists for the development of conservation and management policies for the two districts.
First definite record of Collared Pratincole Glareola pratincola Linnaeus, 1766 (Aves: Charadriiformes: Glareolidae) from Goa, India
Authors: Pandit Rupali , Dharwadkar Mangirish , Rebello Justino 
Published: May 2022

Collared Pratincole Glareola pratincola has been recorded from various regions in southern India and is known to be a two way passage migrant to Western Ghats. However, this species had not been included in Goa’s avifaunal checklist since the old records for the bird could not be confirmed. Hence, the present sighting of this bird at Maina-Curtorim fields, Goa qualifies as the first definite record for Goa. During the period 2013–2021, three birds namely the Spot-billed Pelican Pelecanus philippensis, Lesser Flamingo Phoeniconaias minor and Eurasian Bittern Botaurus stellaris were spotted within one-kilometer radius of the Maina-Curtorim wetlands and added to the avifaunal checklist of Goa. This offers an opportunity for additional surveys to establish the migratory route and also highlights the conservational value of the region.

Published: May 2022

Background:
Although complete nidal obliteration of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) is generally presumed to represent durable cure, postobliteration hemorrhage, and AVM recurrence have become increasingly recognized phenomena. The goal of the study was to define hemorrhage and nidal recurrence risks of obliterated AVMs treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

Methods:
This is a retrospective cohort study from the International Radiosurgery Research Foundation comprising AVM patients treated between 1987 and 2020. Patients with AVM obliteration on digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were included. Outcomes were (1) hemorrhage and (2) AVM recurrence. Follow-up duration began at the time of AVM obliteration and was censored at subsequent hemorrhage, AVM recurrence, additional AVM treatment, or loss to follow-up. Annualized risk and survival analyses were performed. A sensitivity analysis comprising patients with AVM obliteration on magnetic resonance imaging or DSA was also performed for postobliteration hemorrhage.

Results:
The study cohort comprised 1632 SRS-treated patients with AVM obliteration on DSA. Pediatric patients comprised 15% of the cohort, and 42% of AVMs were previously ruptured. The mean imaging follow-up after AVM obliteration was 22 months. Among 1607 patients with DSA-confirmed AVM obliteration, 16 hemorrhages (1.0%) occurred over 2223 patient-years of follow-up (0.72%/y). Of the 1543 patients with DSA-confirmed AVM obliteration, 5 AVM recurrences (0.32%) occurred over 2071 patient-years of follow-up (0.24%/y). Of the 16 patients with postobliteration hemorrhage, AVM recurrence was identified in 2 (12.5%). In the sensitivity analysis comprising 1939 patients with post-SRS AVM obliteration on magnetic resonance imaging or DSA, 16 hemorrhages (0.83%) occurred over 2560 patient-years of follow-up (0.63%/y).

Conclusions:
Intracranial hemorrhage and recurrent arteriovenous shunting after complete nidal obliteration are rare in AVM patients treated with SRS, and each phenomenon harbors an annual risk of <1%. Although routine postobliteration DSA cannot be recommended to SRS-treated AVM patients, long-term neuroimaging may be advisable in these patients.

This is a taxonomic study of cymbelloid diatoms from the River Adegoy (Krasnodar Territory, Russia). During the survey 24 taxa were recorded including a new species of Delicatophycus. The morphology of Delicatophycus porosus sp. nov. was examined using light and scanning electron microscopy and compared to nine similar species. The new species can be distinguished from similar taxa by a combination of characters: dorsiventral valves with radiate to parallel striae, broadly rounded apices and apical pore fields. Other species found belong to the genera Cymbella, Cymbopleura, Encyonema, Encyonopsis and Reimeria.
Effectiveness of nutrition education and counselling programme on iron deficiency anaemia among adolescents: A study protocol of a randomized trial
Authors: Wiafe Michael Akenteng , Apprey Charles , Annan Reginald Adjetey 
Published: May 2022

Background [GQ4]Adolescents tend to explore their dietary environment without prior consideration of their nutritional needs. This attitude is due to low nutrition knowledge and it contributes to micronutrient deficiency such as anaemia. The study aims to investigate the effect of nutrition education and counselling on dietary iron intake and iron status of early adolescents. Methods/Design One hundred and twenty-six early adolescents will be recruited and randomized to receive nutrition education (intervention group) and no nutrition education (control group) in the Asante-Akim South Municipality of Ghana. Data on socio-demographics, dietary factors, dietary intake, knowledge of iron and anaemia will be collected at baseline and post-intervention. Blood samples will be collected for haemoglobin, ferritin and c-reactive protein analyses. The primary outcome measures include haemoglobin and ferritin levels, secondary outcomes such as dietary iron intake, dietary vitamin C intake and knowledge level of iron will be assessed at pre-and post-intervention (6 months). The study will comply with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) for randomized trials. Discussion The effectiveness of iron dietary guidelines developed will serve as a manual to aid, prevent and manage iron deficiency anaemia as well as reduce the prevalence of anaemia in the long term in Ghana.

Background Converging evidence suggests that anatomical and functional mesocorticolimbic abnormalities support the chronicization of pain disorders. Methods We mapped structural and functional alterations of the mesocorticolimbic system in a sample of chronic cluster headache patients (n = 28) in comparison to age and sex-matched healthy individuals (n = 28) employing structural MRI and resting-state functional MRI. Results Univariate logistic regression models showed that several of the examined structures/areas (i.e., the bilateral nucleus accumbens, ventral diencephalon, hippocampus, and frontal pole, and the right amygdala) differentiated chronic cluster headache patients from healthy individuals (p < 0.05, uncorrected). Specifically, all the significant structures/areas had increased volumes in chronic cluster headache patients compared to healthy individuals. The examination of the groups suffering from left and right-sided cranial attacks showed a lateralization effect: ipsilateral to the pain ventral diencephalic regions and contralateral to the pain nucleus accumbens discriminated chronic cluster headache patients from healthy individuals. The resting-state functional MRI data analyses showed that chronic cluster headache patients compared to CTRL individuals present robust reduced functional connectivity in the right frontal pole-right amygdala pathway (p < 0.05, FDR-corrected) Conclusion Our results showed that chronic cluster headache patients present anatomical and functional maladaptation of the mesocorticolimbic system, with functional data indicating a possible prefrontal areas' failure to modulate the mesolimbic structures. These results were opposite to what we hypothesized based on the previous literature on chronic pain conditions. Future studies should assess whether the observed mesocorticolimbic abnormalities are due to the neuroprotective effects of the assumed medications, or to the frequent comorbidity of CH with neuropsychiatric disorders or if they are a genuine neural signature of CH and/or chronic cluster headache condition.
Transosseous Meniscus Root Repair in Pediatric Patients and Association With Durable Midterm Outcomes and High Rates of Return to Sports
Authors: Clifton Willimon S. , Busch Michael T. , Murata Asahi , Perkins Crystal A. 
Published: May 2022

Background: Injuries to the meniscus root attachments result in extrusion of the meniscus, impaired distribution of hoop stresses, and progressive degenerative articular wear. As a result of these deleterious effects, there has been increasing emphasis on repairing meniscus root injuries to restore structure and function. Purpose: To describe meniscus root tear patterns, associated injuries, and outcomes of transosseous meniscus root repair in a series of pediatric patients. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A single-institution retrospective review approved by the institutional review board was performed on consecutive adolescent patients aged <19 years with a meniscus posterior root tear treated with transosseous root repair over 4 years. All patients had a minimum 24-month clinical follow-up. The primary outcomes were revision meniscal surgery, and Lysholm, patient satisfaction, and Tegner activity scores. Results: A total of 20 patients (11 male and 9 female patients), with a mean age of 15.6 years (range, 13-18 years), met the inclusion criteria. There were 14 lateral meniscus root tears and 6 medial meniscus root tears. Seventeen patients (85%) had an associated ligament tear: 12 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears and 5 posterior cruciate ligament tears. Two root tears occurred in isolation and both were the posterior root of the medial meniscus. The majority of meniscus root tears (n = 14 patients; 70%) were root avulsions (type 5). The mean follow-up was 42 months (range, 25-71 months). One patient underwent secondary surgery on the affected meniscus after a new injury 4 years postoperatively. Patient-reported outcomes were obtained for 16 patients (80%) at a mean 54-month follow-up. The median Lysholm score was 95 (interquartile range [IQR], 90-100). The median patient satisfaction score was 10 (IQR, 8-10). Thirteen of 16 patients (81%) reported returning to the same or higher level of sports after surgery. Conclusion: Meniscus root tears most commonly occur in pediatric patients as root avulsions of the posterior root of the lateral meniscus and in association with ACL tears. This is unique compared with the adult population, in which the medial meniscus posterior root is often injured in isolation from a radial tear adjacent to the root. In our pediatric case series, transosseous root repair resulted in successful outcomes in the majority of patients, with durable results at the midterm follow-up.
Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Does Not Decrease Spin Rate or Performance in Major League Pitchers

Published: May 2022

Background: Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR) is commonly performed in Major League Baseball (MLB) pitchers, with variable reported effects on velocity and traditional rate statistics. Currently, no studies have evaluated spin rate in the context of return to play (RTP) after injury. Greater spin rate has become increasingly sought after in the baseball community, as it is believed to be a vital aspect of pitch effectiveness. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose was to evaluate the effect of primary UCLR on fastballs (FB) and sliders (SL) of MLB pitchers in terms of spin rate, velocity, hard-hit rate, and whiff rate. It hypothesized that the post-UCLR FB and SL spin rates, velocity, and whiff rate would be significantly decreased versus their pre-UCLR levels, while the FB and SL hard-hit rates would be higher in comparison with pre-UCLR levels. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: In total, 42 pitchers who underwent UCLR and returned to MLB play were identified from public records from 2016 to 2019. The Statcast system was used to collect spin rate, velocity, hard-hit rate, and whiff rate for 4-seam FB (4FB), 2-seam FB (2FB), and SL for pitchers in the preinjury year as well as the 2 years after return from UCLR. Data were analyzed using the appropriate statistical tests. Results: A total of 36 pitchers met the inclusion criteria, and 31 of the eligible 36 players (86.1%) were able to return to MLB pitching (RTP). There were no significant decreases for 4FB, 2FB, or SL in spin rate, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), when comparing preinjury levels with the first and second seasons after return. There was a significant decrease in velocity for the 2FB in the first season (92.9 vs 93.7 miles per hour [mph]; P = .045) but not the second season (93 mph; P = .629) after RTP in comparison with pre-UCLR levels. For the 2FB, there was a significant increase in spin rate between preinjury and RTP season 2 (2173.5 vs 2253 rpm; P = .022). For the SL, there was a significant increase in spin rate between preinjury and RTP season 2 (2245.1 vs 2406 rpm; P = .016). Conclusion: A cohort of MLB pitchers who underwent UCLR and returned to the MLB level demonstrated no significant decreases in the spin rate, velocity, whiff rate, or hard-hit rate of 4FB, 2FB, or SL at 2 years after UCLR.
