Aim of study: To explore the different patterns of fine-root traits by elucidating changes in their chemistries and morphologies in Chinese fir plantations along an altitudinal gradient.
Area of study: National Mazongling Nature Reserve (Anhui Province).
Material and methods: Soil and fine roots (≤ 2 mm) samples were extracted from three soil layers (0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, and 20-30 cm) at four altitudes (750 m, 850 m, 1000 m, and 1150 m), after which their nutrient concentrations and morphological traits, respectively, were quantified. We employed mixed model ANOVA to test the effects of altitude, soil layer, and their interactions on the characteristics of soil and fine roots. The relationships between the functional traits of fine roots and climate, soil and stand structures were evaluated by the standard major axis regression and the structural equation model.
Main results: The chemical traits of fine roots were higher at medium altitudes (which decreased significantly with the soil layer). In contrast the morphological traits of fine roots did not change significantly. In chemical traits, both altitude, organic matter components, and soil total phosphorus (TP) exerted dominant effects on fine-root N, and both altitude and soil TP exerted dominant effects on fine-root P. However, in morphological traits, we found that altitude and soil C:N were crucial impact factors.
Research highlights: Fine roots might preferentially adjust their chemical traits rather than morphological traits to facilitate higher root efficiencies in response to variable environmental conditions.
Revisiting Short-term Outcomes of Conventional and Computer-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Population-based Study
Authors: Ahmed Abdalrahman G. , Tian Yao , Hasan Mohamed , Harris Alexandra , Ghomrawi Hassan M. K. 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Population-based studies showing the advantage of computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (CATKA) over conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are outdated. More recent institution-based studies with relatively small sample sizes may hinder wider adoption. This cohort-based study aimed to compare postoperative CATKA and TKA in-hospital complications and 90-day all-cause readmissions using 2017-2018 data.

Methods:
Patients who underwent a primary unilateral CATKA or TKA were identified in the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System database. In-hospital complications were defined based on the 2020 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services total hip arthroplasty and TKA complications measure. Ninety-day readmissions were identified using unique patient identifiers. Logistic regression with a generalized estimating equation was used to assess associations of computer assistance with in-hospital complications and 90-day all-cause readmissions.

Results:
A total of 80,468 TKAs were identified during the study period, of which 7,395 (9.2%) were CATKAs. Significantly fewer complications occurred among patients who had CATKAs compared with conventional TKAs (0.4% of total CATKAs vs 2.6% of total conventional TKAs, P < 0.001); patients who had CATKAs had fewer 90-day all-cause readmissions compared with those who underwent TKAs (363 vs 4,169 revisits, P < 0.01). Computer assistance was associated with significantly lower odds of in-hospital complications (odds ratio, 0.15, 95% confidence interval, 0.09 to 0.24; P < 0.05) but not 90-day all-cause readmissions.

Conclusion:
Patients undergoing CATKAs had markedly lower odds of in-hospital complications, compared with patients having TKAs, which has implications for both patient outcomes and hospital reimbursement. These more recent cohort-based findings encourage wider CATKA adoption.

Can ‘Traffic Rights’ for Non-commercial Air Operators Be Derived from EU Law?
Authors: Sætervadet Torkell 
Published: June 2022

The European Union’s liberalization of the aviation market provided commercial EU air carriers with free access to intra-Community routes. For non-commercial air operators, the Chicago Convention already provided for certain international ‘traffic rights’. Moreover, the introduction of common rules for civil aviation has brought EU-wide harmonization to the non-commercial sector. Despite this, EU operators of non-commercial flights experience restrictions in certain territories. Some EU Member States accept free circulation of harmonized aircraft; others require registration in the state where the operator is based.
This article aims to assess whether ‘traffic rights’ for non-commercial air operators can be derived from EU’s harmonized civil aviation rules or other EU law.
I conclude that aircraft subject to EU harmonization of technical requirements and administrative procedures related to air operations can circulate freely intra EU, regardless of where the EU operator is based, provided that the aircraft is registered in an EU Member State. The extent of such ‘traffic rights’ for aircraft registered in third countries, i.e., in states other than Member States of the EU or the European Free Trade Association, is less clear. EU harmonization of technical requirements and administrative procedures related to air operations also sought to address third country aircraft based in Member States. However, EU regulation on airworthiness of such aircraft is supplemented by airworthiness rules laid down by the State of registry, and it may be that the level of harmonization within this area must be considered partial. If so, EU Member States might be able to impose national requirements within the limits of Articles 5(1) and 31 of the Chicago Convention, provided that these requirements are compatible with fundamental freedoms of EU law.

Volcanism and Curie Isotherm Distribution in the Jalisco Block, Mexico
Authors: Alvarez Román , Palafox Vladimir 
Published: June 2022

A suitable combination of magnetic field determinations is assembled in the whole area of the Jalisco block in central-western Mexico; it serves as the basis for calculations of the Curie Point Isotherm by means of Spectral Analysis. The Jalisco block contains numerous volcanic manifestations; an attempt is made at correlating the Curie Isotherm (CI) with volcanic manifestations and its implicit risk to nearby populated regions. A preliminary analysis of this isotherm is carried out using areas of 60 × 60 km2, where the volcanic regions at the NW and SE portions of the Tepic-Zacoalco (T-Z) rift coincide with shallow layers of the CI. Results show an unexpected region in the middle of the T-Z rift, where the isotherm deepens to 12 km depth and volcanism appears to be missing. The authors argue that this phenomenon may be associated with a flare up episode occurring at 5-3 Ma along the rift. Varying the area used for the calculation of the CI, from 30 × 30 km2 to 120 × 120 km2, illustrates how the concomitant changes in volume affect the depth of penetration. The authors find exceptional regions in which the CI shows shallow depths at all area sizes used in the calculations; this consistency is interpreted as a magnetic alteration of the crust originating at mid-crustal depths. These regions also correspond to high values of the Bouguer anomaly reported elsewhere. Six magneto-stratigraphic profiles are presented for the results of the 60 × 60 km2 calculations, where geologic, topographic, and magnetic properties are displayed along their length.
Aspects Concerning Development Of Vaccine And Vaccination
Authors: DEAC Liana Monica 
Published: June 2022

Vaccines can prevent or ameliorate infectious diseases morbidity and mortality. Vaccines generate immunity across the body as a whole, but they can also provoke specific immune responses in specific bodily areas. Vaccination includes various ways of administering immunogenes. Edward Jenner is considered the founder of vaccinology. With his importnata studies it was figured out that when a sufficiently large percentage of a population has been vaccinated, herd immunity results. The revolution of genetic engineering toward the end of the 20th century has greatly impacted vaccine development. Understanding the nature and cause of disease provides a basis for preventive action and control as even to improve the life quality by using the vaccination in the world.
STRONG $F_A$-SUMMABILITY
Authors: MURSALEEN  , KHAN Q. A. 
Published: June 2022

Let $A = (a_{nk})$ be an infinite matrix and $x =(x_k)$ an infinite sequence of complex numbers. A sequence $x$ is said to be $F_A$-summable to a number $\ell$ [ActaMath. 80(1948),167-190] if and only if $x$ is bounded and
\[\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_{nk}x_{k+p}\to \ell\]

as $n\to\infty$, uniformly for $p\ge 0$.The object of this paper is to define strong $F_A$-summability which is a generalization of strong almost convergence due to I. J. Maddox [Math. Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc., 83 (1978), 61-64]. We also characterize the matrices which transform strong almost convergent sequences to strong $F_A$-summable sequences.

ASSESSMENT OF SOIL ORGANIC MATTER MANAGEMENT IN POLISH AGRICULTURE
Authors: Kopiński Jerzy , Witorożec Agata 
Published: June 2022

The subject of this study was the analysis of the soil organic matter (SOM) management in Polish agriculture in 2017-2019. The comparative analysis in spatial arrangement was carried out at the level of polish voivodeships. SOM balance was prepared in a simplified way, using it is degradation and reproduction coefficients proposed by Eich and Kundler. During 2017-2019, the balance of SOM was at level of 0.07 t DM/ha arable land (ArL). Positive balance of SOM was found in most voivodeships of Poland, and by far the highest in two voivodeships: Podlaskie and Warmińsko-Mazurskie, where manure and slurry resources were the largest. The negative SOM balance ranged from -0.02 t DM/ha ArL in Lubuskie to -0.14 t DM/ha ArL in Dolnośląskie, and the main reason for this was low natural fertilizer supply. In those voivodships the amount of ploughed-in plant material was insufficient to cover the losses of SOM caused by plant cultivation. The analysis of SOM management confirmed high polarisation between individual voivodships, together with the processes of extensification of production organisation (specialisation), with a simultaneous increase in it is intensity and scale of concentration.

Published: June 2022

Kepemilikan hak garap pada lahan yang sama oleh beberapa Kelompok Tani pada areal ijin pertambangan PT. Kaltim Prima Coal di Desa Swarga Bara, Kecamatan Sangatta Utara, Kabupaten Kutai Timur, Kalimantan Timur, memunculkan konflik antar kelompok masyarakat. Permasalahan terjadi karena aparat pejabat (Kepala Desa dan Camat) mengeluarkan surat keterangan tanah hak garap tanpa dasar hukum yang jelas sehingga terjadi tumpang tindih hak atas tanah garapan dan memunculkan alat bukti ganda hak garap atas tanah pada objek/lahan yang sama. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut maka penelitian ini mengkaji mengenai faktor penyebab alat bukti ganda atas hak garap di atas areal ijin pertambangan PT. Kaltim Prima Coal di Desa Swarga Bara, Kecamatan Sangatta Utara, Kabupaten Kutai Timur, Kalimantan Timur. Selain itu juga untuk mengetahui bagaimana bentuk penyelesaian sengketa antar sesama pepegang hak garap di atas areal ijin pertambangan PT. Kaltim Prima Coal di Desa Swarga Bara, Kecamatan Sangatta Utara, Kabupaten Kutai Timur, Kalimantan Timur agar penyelesaiannya dapat menguntungkan bagi semua pihak yang berselisih. Berdasarkan perumusan masalah dan tujuan penelitian, maka metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis empiris, yaitu menggunakan norma-norma hukum yang bersifat menjelaskan dengan cara meneliti dan membahas peraturan-peraturan hukum yang berlaku saat ini. Untuk menghindari terulangnya kembali sengketa tanah garapan, pemerintah daerah sebaiknya meningkatkan penertiban atas terjadinya tumpang tindih surat keterangan hak garap tanah yang diterbitkan oleh Kepala Desa dan RT setempat dan sekaligus melakukan sosialisasi kepada aparatur pemerintahan desa dan masyarakat tentang kewenangan dalam penerbitan izin membukan lahan beserta ketentuan-ketentuannya berdasarkan undang-undang dan atau peraturan pemerintah. Alas hak bagi para penggarap wajib diberikan untuk tertibnya administrasi di bidang pertanahan dan sekaligus dapat memberikan kepastian dan perlindungan hukum kepada para penggarap agar potensi sengketa pertanahan dapat dihindari sedini mungkin.
Igaponera curiosa, a new ponerine genus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from the Amazon
Authors: Troya Adrian , Marcineiro Frederico , Lattke John E. , Longino John 
Published: June 2022

The monotypic ant genus Igaponera gen. nov. is proposed to include its type species I. curiosa (Mackay & Mackay, 2010). Igaponera gen. nov. is described and phylogenetically compared with other ponerine genera based on external morphology. The type species is known from a single gyne originally described in the genus Pachycondyla Smith, 1858. Igaponera curiosa is easily diagnosed by: costate sculpture on head, mesosoma, and petiole; short, robust, triangular mandibles with blunt apex; relatively large eyes set at mid-length on sides of head; lack of stridulitrum; and presence of distinct but relatively small arolia. Putative apomorphies of the new genus are: cuticular flange concealing metapleural gland opening; vertically standing hypostomal tooth with recessed base; stout mandibular shape with blunt apex; absence of stout spine-like setae on meso- and metatibial apices. Our phylogenetic results based on morphology suggest that Neoponera Emery, 1901 and Pachycondyla are the closest lineages to Igaponera, which shows intermediate characteristics as compared to those genera. The genus is apparently arboreal, known only from a seasonally flooded Igapó forest near Manaus, Brazil. Despite the collection site being frequented by researchers, no other specimens of this genus have been collected in over 40 years prior to this study.

Published: June 2022

Seedling establishment is a most critical stage that determined the crop production at later stages. An in vitro investigation was carried out at the Laboratory of the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Sri Karan Narendra College of Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan) in Rabi season 2016-17 to study the response of fenugreek genotypes for their germination and early seedling parameters under five salt stress levels viz. 0.0 mM, 40 mM, 80 mM, 120 mM and 160 mM. Fifteen seeds of each genotype were sown in sterilized Petridish and seedling observations were recorded. Results revealed that the average value was found maximum in the control and minimum at higher salinity level for most of traits. Higher reduction was found at higher salinity levels for most of the characters viz., plumule length, radicle length, seedling length, plumule to radicle length ratio, plumule fresh weight, radicle fresh weight, plumule dry weight, radicle dry weight and seedling vigour index but germination percentage showed less reduction. The contrast between mean of various genotypes in control conditions (S0) versus Sm (mean of S1, S2, S3 and S4) for each character also showed that overall mean was highest in control as compared to the overall mean of salinity levels for all the traits. This investigation concluded that higher level of salinity (above 60 mM) adversely most affected to seed germination and other early seeding traits rather than (below 40 mM) lower salinity levels. Based upon the rank totals of genotype over different salinity levels S1, S2, S3 and S4 (Sm) and characters, the RMt-303 was found to be most desirable genotype followed by UM-385, RMt-143 and RMt-305. These lines would be used as a viable option under saline conditions and better exploit in hybridization programme.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) among low birth weight neonates at a tertiary care hospital
Study Design: A cross-sectional study
Place and Duration. The Kangaroo mother care ward, CMC Children Hospital, Larkana from August 2019 to February 2020.
Methodology: Total 345 low birth weight patients were included. Newborns were kept in KMC position. Axillary temperature was measured during KMC position. Stratification of study variables was done while post-stratification chi-square test or independent sample student t-test was employed to see the impact of effect modifiers on the outcome (efficacy) considering p-value ≤0.05 as significant.
Results: Out of a total of 345 LBW neonates, there were 198 (57.4%) boys and 147 (42.6%) girls. The mean age of neonates was 12.01\(\pm\)7.68 days while majority 177 (51.3%) were aged less than or equal to 10 days. The mean body weight was 1997.22\(\pm\)243.48 grams. The mean gestational age was noted to be 35.35\(\pm\)1.37 weeks. There were 104 (30.1%) neonates who belonged to rural areas while 241 (69.9%) were from urban areas. The mean mother’s temperature was 37.58\(\pm\)0.98 C. The mean room temperature was 33.11\(\pm\)2.59 C. The mean initial temperature was 35.40\(\pm\)0.48 C. The efficacy of KMC was observed to be in 242 (70.1%) cases.
Conclusion: The KMC was found to be effective and useful in caring LBW neonates. Further advantages of KMC are low cost, promotion of exclusive breast-feeding and increased mother’s confidence in handling LBW babies.

Objective: Study is to assess knowledge about corona among private dental practitioners in Karachi.
Study Design: Prospective cross sectional study.
Materials & Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study conducted during the time period of May, 2020 to Sept, 2020 in Karachi. The online questionnaire was divided into 2 sections, the first one included a biodata section including years of practice and clinic area. The second section comprised of knowledge regarding disinfection techniques against COVID-19 and modes of transmission of COVID-19. There were 10 multiple choice questions to assess the presence of SARS-CoV-2 on different surfaces found in the clinic. Effectiveness of various disinfectants and hand sanitizers was asked and the viability of SARS-CoV-2 on steel surfaces, tissue papers, glass and plastic material.
Results: As our study focuses only private dental practitioners, we contacted them through emails and questionnaires were sent. Responses were received by 125 dentists and 20 dentists did not provide with completely filled questionnaire. Among total of 145 dentists, 67.2% (n=84) were males and 32.8% (n=41) were female practitioners. Amongst 125 dentists, 58.4% (n=73) had adequate knowledge regarding disinfection, viability of virus on different surfaces and proper protective equipment. 33 dentists scored total of 6 out of 10 with only 19 dentists having score of <6.
Conclusion: The global pandemic of 2019 has led to drastic changes in healthcare setups and way of providing healthcare services. In this study we found that around 60% of dentists have adequate knowledge about disinfection and modes of transmission of COVID-19. Private dental practitioners need to take adequate protective measures and disinfection techniques to prevent transmission.
