Published: June 2022

<span lang="EN-US">The incidence of maize monkey´s hand disease was determined in nine states of the Mexican Republic. The evaluation sites were georeferenced, and incidence was estimated along with the farmers to determinate the identity of the germplasm used. Monkey´s hand was found affecting maize plants in localities of the States of Puebla with an incidence of 24%, Hidalgo (17.05%), Morelos (11.7%), Chiapas (7.28%), Tlaxcala (7.0%), Oaxaca (6.5%), Veracruz (6.3%), Mexico (6.2%), and Jalisco (3.0%). Data showed a low but positive correlation (r= 0.30) between altitude and incidence. Native germplasm is more susceptible to the monkey´s hand disease than improved germplasm. </span>

Authors: Griesser Anne-Claude 
Published: June 2022

PICO question
In cats with psychogenic alopecia, is overgrooming reduced by the use of clomipramine compared to untreated cats?

Clinical bottom line
Category of research question
Treatment
The number and type of study designs reviewed
One pseudo-randomised controlled study
Strength of evidence
Weak
Outcomes reported
Effect of clomipramine using owner report of number, intensity, and / or duration of grooming episodes, owner reported clinical improvement, and veterinary measured alopecia, extent of tissue damage, and hair regrowth
Conclusion
The only controlled study found no evidence that clomipramine alone is effective in reducing grooming episodes, alopecia, or improved hair regrowth. Further research with randomised, double blind controlled trials and limitation of confounding factors is required to determine the efficacy of clomipramine alone or in addition to behavioural / environmental therapies

How to apply this evidence in practice
The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

Authors: Almalki Fahad Abdulrahamn 
Published: June 2022

The purpose of the study was to investigate the obstacles of academic productivity of faculty members in the education college at Jeddah University as perceived by them. The study adopted the descriptive analytical approach by using a questionnaire to collect data. The researcher developed the questionnaire which consisted of (46) items and were distributed over four themes. The questionnaire was checked for its validity and reliability. Then, it was administrated to a sample of (80) faculty members in the education faculty at Jeddah University. The findings of the study were as follows: The effect of university and society obstacles on academic productivity was given a high rate. On the other hand, the effect of personal obstacles and academic publication received an average rate. The society obstacles were ranked first, while academic publication obstacles were in the last rank. There were statistically significant differences which were attributed to the differences in academic rank in the obstacles related to university, society and personal and academic publication in favor of the assistant professor rank. There were also statistically significant differences that were attributed to years of experience in university obstacles in favor of (1-5) years experience and (more than 10 years) experience. On the other hand, there were no differences in university, society and personal obstacles. There were no statistically significant differences attributed to the variable of the university from which the faculty members got their PhD degree. In addition, there were statistically significant differences attributed to nationality in university, personal and society obstacles while there were no differences in the variable of academic publication. The study recommended the need to increase funds to be allocated for academic productivity.

The Extent of Conformity of Academic Programs Outcomes at the College of Engineering, The University of Jordan to ABET Standards from the Viewpoint of Faculty Members and Quality Assurance Representatives
Authors: Abdullah Hawash Dalal Mustafa 
Published: June 2022

The current study aimed to identify the extent to which the academic outcomes of the programs of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Jordan conform to the American accreditation standards "ABET". To achieve the study objective, the qualitative method was followed and three tools were used: standardized open-ended interviews, participant observation, and analysis of documents collected from the field. Major findings revealed that engineering departments which were granted accreditation seek to achieve the academic outcomes of the programs that emanate from the international accreditation standards of ABET by a periodic continuous comprehensive evaluation system of all activities of the teaching process. Internal accreditation committees are formed in the engineering departments consisting of academic staff, administrative professionals and specialists with experience in monitoring and evaluation. The Faculty of Engineering has benefited from achieving the minimum standards of accreditation in improving the quality of learning outcomes and obtaining accredited university degrees similar to any degree in an accredited American university. The engineering departments also seek to improve the infrastructure and provision of equipment appropriate to the standards through obtaining institutional support. Despite the existence of some obstacles and challenges facing the engineering departments, they have benefited from accreditation. It was recommended to apply accreditation standards for all academic majors in universities for their importance for students, faculty members and the profession.

Evaluation of customer satisfaction attributes on hospitality services
Authors: Otoo Frank Nana Kweku , Effah Ameyaw Godfred , Kuar Manpreet , Otoo Evelyn Akosua 
Published: June 2022

Customer satisfaction is an indicator of an organization's overall health and future prospects. The study evaluated the impact of customer satisfaction attributes on hospitality services. Data were collected from 680 guests of one to three star rated hotels in the Greater Accra Region. The hypothesized relationships were supported by the data. The results show an insignificant relationship between accessibility and hospitability services. Reliability had an insignificant relationship with hospitability services. The results also show that competence had a significant relationship with hospitability services. The results further show that friendliness had an insignificant relationship with hospitality services. The generalizability of the results obtained may be constrained since the present study focused on the hotel industry with its unique characteristics. The study suggests the enhancement of customer satisfaction to establish customer loyalty, improve brand reputation and competitive advantage. The study adds to the extant literature by empirically evidencing that customer satisfaction attributes significantly impact hospitality services.
Challenges faced by female entrepreneurs: The case of the South African learner transport industry
Authors: Mulaudzi Malebo , Schachtebeck Chris 
Published: June 2022

This study aimed to explore the challenges faced by female entrepreneurs operating in the learner transport industry in South Africa, specifically in the Gauteng province. The study adopted a qualitative research approach by making use of semi-structured interviews with 15 female entrepreneurs operating in the learner transport industry in the Gauteng province. A non-probability sampling approach was adopted by means of convenience sampling. Data was analysed through thematic content analysis, using Atlas.ti. Findings from the study indicated that female entrepreneurs in the learner transport industry face several challenges such as high operational costs, a male-dominated industry, being disrespected or undermined by customers, a lack of trust and commitment, being belittled, as well as a lack of opportunity awareness. Participants also indicated a need for government intervention in the industry due to prevailing working conditions. The findings of the study contribute both to the industry, as well as the existing body of knowledge. The findings from the study will assist the national government to collaborate with regional governmental transport agencies, as well as with regional industry associations in an effort to improve the working environment for female entrepreneurs, as well as grow the learner transport industry in a more structured and regulated manner. The industry, despite being regulated by regional transport associations, is currently unstructured.
Sheared and Granular Peridotites from the Udachnaya–East Kimberlite (Yakutia): Mineralogy, Chemistry, and PGE Patterns

Abstract
—Mantle xenoliths of fresh sheared and granular peridotites from the Udachnaya kimberlite pipe (Yakutian kimberlite province, Siberia, Russia) are studied in terms of mineralogy, chemistry, and behavior of platinum-group elements (PGE), with a focus on difference between the two types of peridotites and on the role of PGEs in their origin. The analyzed samples of sheared and granular peridotites differ in mineral-liquid equilibrium temperatures and pressures: 1230–1350 °C, 56–67 kbar inferred for the former and 750–1300 °C, 30–67 kbar for the latter. The contents of major oxides, trace elements, and PGEs differ both between sheared and granular peridotites and within each group. Some sheared and all granular peridotites are enriched in incompatible elements, have low percentages of clinopyroxene and contain garnet rich in middle rare-earth elements (MREE). These features result from interaction of the peridotites with melts and related fluids of presumably carbonate compositions containing incompatible elements in high abundances. Sheared peridotites were more strongly enriched and gained more Ca, Al, and Ti than the granular variety. On the other hand, granular peridotites have higher light REE (LREE) and lower heavy REE (HREE) enrichment, which may record compositional difference of metasomatic agents. Metasomatism acted in two stages: first silicate agents caused LREE enrichment and HREE depletion of melts and then the fractionated melts percolated through the mantle and affected the compositions of granular peridotites and, partly, sheared peridotites. The two types of peridotites differ also in PGE patterns, with largely variable Os–Pt concentrations in granular peridotite. This difference may be due to uneven distribution of the Os–Ir and Pt–Os–Ir intermetallic compounds, which formed as sulfide melting residue in the lithospheric mantle. Sheared peridotites show almost uniform Os–Pt distribution and are enriched in Pd, Re, and partly Pt. The enrichment possibly occurred during metasomatism when the percentages of garnet and clinopyroxene increased while sulfide phases precipitated into interstitials.

Abstract
Background:
In the aftermath of a myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) or Takotsubo syndrome (TS), patients commonly express high levels of stress and anxiety. Current treatment alternatives rarely address these issues.
Methods:
The study is a randomized controlled trial, where 90 patients with a discharge diagnosis of MINOCA or TS who also report symptoms of stress or anxiety will be randomized 2–4 weeks after their cardiac event. The treatment consists of ten weeks of internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and starts immediately after randomisation for the treatment group. The control group receives usual care. Main outcomes are symptoms of anxiety measured with Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale, Anxiety subscale and perceived stress measured with the Perceived Stress Scale, 14 item version, ten weeks after randomisation. Secondary measures include cardiac specific anxiety, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, quality of life, cortisol measured in hair and physiological stress responses (heart rate variability, blood pressure and saliva cortisol) during a stress procedure. Ten weeks after randomisation the control group will also receive treatment. Long-term follow up in the self-report measures mentioned above will be conducted 20 and 50 weeks after randomisation where the total group’s development over time is followed, and the groups receiving intervention early versus late compared.
Discussion:
At present there are no randomised studies evaluating psychological treatment for patients with MINOCA or TS. There is an urgent need for treatment alternatives aiming at relieving stress and anxiety considering the high mental stress and anxiety levels observed in MINOCA and TS, leading to decreased quality of life. CBT aiming at reducing mental stress has been shown to be effective regarding prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease. The current protocol describes a randomized open-label controlled trial evaluating an internet-based CBT program for reduction of stress and anxiety in patients with increased mental stress and/or anxiety with a discharge diagnosis of either MINOCA or TS.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
For data sparse conditions of developing countries, gridded meteorological products have potential for different hydro-climatic applications. Comparisons of IMERG precipitation, at 0.1o, have been done with TRMM precipitation at station-, basin- and country-scale, in recent past. As IMERG products are expected to be available at least until mid-2030, a long-term global comparison of IMERG precipitation at station-scale, to guide their potential use, is highly desired. Therefore, we access surface precipitation stations from NOAA and compare their GSOM with IMERG at 0.1° during 2001–2020. Thus, we evaluate mean IMERG, CFSR and GSOM monthly precipitation with standard metrices like NSE, VE, KGE, R, RMSE and PBIAS for 5 geographical regions, 7 continents, 105 countries and > 50,000 surface locations. After comparison, we observe highest median NSE for Tropic of Capricorn (IMERG: CFSR = 0.85:0.59), followed by Antarctic (0.76:0.49), Arctic (0.71:0.32), Tropic of Cancer (0.64:0.14) and Frigid circle (0.47: -0.87). It shows satisfactory and unsatisfactory performances in the ‘fourth/first’ and ‘last/remaining regions’ for ‘IMERG/CFSR’, respectively. Fractional similarity of unit precipitation was good in Europe (VE = 0.72), North America (0.72), Asia (0.71), Australia (0.70) and satisfactory in South America (0.66) and Africa (0.52) for IMERG. Whereas, we find satisfactorily simulation for Europe (VE = 0.61), North America (0.56) and Australia (0.56), while other continents have unsatisfactory simulation of precipitation by CFSR. At country levels, 64 countries reveal a significantly better mean NSE with IMERG. While all these analyses pointed that IMERG monthly precipitation has better utility than CFSR in different hydro-meteorological applications, its site-specific application will still need detailed analysis at daily (sub-daily) resolutions. The outcomes of the study are expected to guide water resources managers to use these datasets in sustainable water resources management.
