Okra Plant (AbelmoschusesculentusL. Moench) is a type of vegetable that is in high demand in Indonesia. Okra Fruit is not only known as vegetable but also known as a functional food because it contains fiber and secondary metabolites in the form of phenolic compound and flavonoid which are antioxidants which are useful for health. Okra plants can grow in a variety of soil types. One type of soil that can be found in the city of PalangkaRaya is podzols. Podzols is less productive is poor in nutrients, low Ph and porous so is easy to lose moisture and nutrient, therefore, inputs are needed, including fertilization. Liquid Organic fertilizer is a type of fertilizer that is being developed nowadays. This study aims to examine the effect of giving liquid organic fertilizer leachate from Palangka Raya Landfill to okra plants on podzols. The study was conducted in a green house and was arranged according to completely randomized design with leachate treatment from landfill, namely L0 (without treatment), L1 (150 ml plant-1), L2 (300 ml plant-1) dan L3 (450 ml plant-1). All treatments were repeated 6 times so which there were 24 experimental units. The results showed the administration of 450 ml of leachate showed the highest growth and yield of okra compared to other treatment, with height to 103cm, number of leaves 31 pieces, dry weight of stoves 576.89 g, and fresh weight of fruit 159.98 g

Tyrimo tikslas. Išanalizuoti NPL gimusių sveikų, išnešiotų naujagimių pagimdytų sveikų motinų žindymo ypatumus pirmaisiais gyvenimo metais. Tyrimo metodai. Atliktas mišrus (retrospektyvinis+perspektyvinis) tyrimas, kuriuo metu tirti III lygio Perinataliniame centre, turinčiame NPL vardą, gimę išnešioti (≥37 sav.), sveiki, išimtinai nuo gimimo tik žindyti 642 naujagimiai, gimę 2019 m. 642 sveikos naujagimių motinos buvo apklaustos telefonu apie žindymo ypatumus. Duomenys analizuoti naudojant statistinį duomenų analizės paketą „IBM SPSS Statistics 23“. Rezultatai. Iki 6 mėn. buvo žindyti beveik 2/3, o iki metų 59,4 proc. visų kūdikių. Dažniausios žindymo nutraukimo priežastys: asmeninės (26,2 proc.) ir kūdikio atsisakymas krūties (25,2 proc.). Analizuojant žindymo nutraukimą iki 3 mėn. ir 3-5 mėn. gauta jog dažniausia priežastis buvo nepakankama laktacija/alkanas vaikas (46,1 proc., 49,3 proc.). Naujagimių, maitintų krūtimi iki 3 mėn., motinos dažniau naudojo socialinius tinklus kaip šaltinį, žinioms įgyti, negu ilgiau žindžiusios motinos. Motinos, kurios žindė 3-5 mėn, naudojo specialią literatūrą (14,1 proc.) statistiškai reikšmingai dažniau nei tos, kurios žindė iki 12 mėn. (p<0,05). Dažniausias informacijos šaltinis tarp moterų, kurios žindė 6-11 mėn. (44,6 proc.) ir 12 ir daugiau mėn. (42,2 proc.) yra asmeninė patirtis. Išvados. 76,8 proc. NPL gimusių naujagimių buvo žindyti iki 6 mėn. bei 59,4 proc. ≥12 mėn. Dažniausios žindymo nutraukimo priežastys buvo asmeninės, kūdikio atsisakymas krūties bei nepakankama laktacija. Beveik pusė motinų, kurios žindė iki 3 mėn. amžiaus, reikšmingai dažniau kaip priežastį žindymo nutraukimui nurodė nepakankamą laktaciją/alkaną vaiką, rečiau žindymo sunkumus. Dažniausiai moterys nustojo žindyti iki 3-5 mėn. ir ≥12 mėn. dėl nepakankamos laktacijos ir asmeninių priežasčių. Motinos, kurios žindė iki 6-11 mėn., dažniausiai nustojo žindyti dėl to, nes kūdikis atsisakė krūties. Tyrimo metu taip buvo buvo rastos sąsajos tarp žindymo trukmės ir naudojamų informacijos šaltinių. Gauta, kad visos motinos, nepaisant to, kiek laiko žindė, daugiausiai rėmėsi asmenine patirtimi.

Abstract
The SPT 0311–58 system at z = 6.900 is an extremely massive structure within the reionization epoch and offers a chance to understand the formation of galaxies at an extreme peak in the primordial density field. We present 70 mas Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of the dust continuum and [C ii] 158 μm emission in the central pair of galaxies and reach physical resolutions of ∼100–350 pc, among the most detailed views of any reionization-era system to date. The observations resolve the source into at least a dozen kiloparsec-size clumps. The global kinematics and high turbulent velocity dispersion within the galaxies present a striking contrast to recent claims of dynamically cold thin-disk kinematics in some dusty galaxies just 800 Myr later at z ∼ 4. We speculate that both gravitational interactions and fragmentation from massive parent disks have likely played a role in the overall dynamics and formation of clumps in the system. Each clump individually is comparable in mass to other 6 < z < 8 galaxies identified in rest-UV/optical deep field surveys, but with star formation rates elevated by a factor of ~3-5. Internally, the clumps themselves bear close resemblance to greatly scaled-up versions of virialized cloud-scale structures identified in low-redshift galaxies. Our observations are qualitatively similar to the chaotic and clumpy assembly within massive halos seen in simulations of high-redshift galaxies.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate changes in serum lipids among HIV-infected patients switching from non-nucleoside-reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) to protease inhibitor (PI)-based highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), and to determine if changes of lipid profiles impacted the monocyte subsets recovery.
Methodology: Fifty-seven subjects who switched from NNRTIs to PI-based HAART (NNRTIs to PI group) and fifty-five subjects who initially started with PI-based HAART (initial PI group) were recruited. According to their baseline triglyceride (TG) levels, the NNRTIs to PI and initial PI groups were further divided into non-hypertriglyceridemia and hypertriglyceridemia subgroups, respectively. The effects of PI-based HAART on lipid profiles and monocyte subsets were analyzed.
Results: At 48 weeks, the TG changes in the NNRTIs to PI group was higher than that of the initial PI group. The increases of serum TG levels in the initial PI non-hypertriglyceridemia group was greater than that of the NNRTIs to PI non-hypertriglyceridemia group. For the hypertriglyceridemia group at baseline, significant increment in TG levels were observed in the NNRTIs to PI hypertriglyceridemia group. The percentages of circulating CD14highCD16+ and CD14lowCD16+ subsets were elevated in the two groups. At 48 weeks, the proportion of CD14highCD16+ monocytes declined gradually, and the proportion of CD14lowCD16+ monocytes decreased independently of the TG level.
Conclusions: For non-hypertriglyceridemia individuals at baseline, PI-based regimens increased the TG level in the initial PI group. For the NNRTIs to PI hypertriglyceridemia group, PI-based regimens reinforced HAART-related hypertriglyceridemia.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Pulmonary aspergilloma is commonly associated with comorbidities that cause immunodeficiency such as diabetes mellitus, tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and/or a pre-existing parenchymal lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Predisposing factors can further increase the risk of acquiring this mycosis. Our objective was to determine the frequency, clinical and microbiological characteristics of pulmonary aspergilloma in immunocompromised patients.
Methodology: Retrospective case series of patients diagnosed with pulmonary aspergilloma in a respiratory care unit in Mexico City from 2000 to 2019 was studied. Bronchoalveolar lavage cultures on Sabouraud-dextrose agar and serum galactomannan determination were performed on each patient.
Results: We identified twenty-four patients with pulmonary aspergilloma (sixteen male and eight female), thirteen had a history of tuberculosis (54%), seven of diabetes mellitus (29%), three of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (13%) and one of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (4%). The most commonly reported symptoms were hemoptysis in eighteen patients (75%), dyspnea in sixteen patients (67%) and chest pain in thirteen patients (54%). Aspergillus fumigatus was identified in all cultures and galactomannan was positive in 21 serum samples (87%).
Conclusions: Coexistence of diseases that could suppress the immune system predispose to pulmonary aspergilloma; clinical presentation is often confused with other systemic diseases. A high degree of clinical suspicion is important for early detection.
