Published: August 2022

Purpose: Barriers in research for women and dietitians have been documented. We sought to describe tri-council funding awarded within the nutrition discipline according to institution type, academic rank, gender, dietitian status, and primary research methods used. Methods: Using an online search methodology, faculty members with research appointments were identified from nutrition departments offering accredited dietetic programs and/or at Canada’s collective of research-intensive universities known as U15. All data regarding faculty members, their institutions, and funding were collected through publicly available websites and Scopus. Tri-council funding associated with the nominated principal investigator, from a 5-year period, 2013–2014 to 2017–2018, was extracted. Binary logistic regression was used to test for predictors of receiving any tri-council operating funds within the 5-year period. Results: Faculty members (n = 237) from 21 institutions were identified for inclusion. Those from U15 institutions, at the full professor rank, nondietitians, men, and those who engaged in primarily quantitative research methods (vs. qualitative or mixed-methods) were significantly more likely to hold any tri-council funding during the eligible period. Dietitians (n = 76) were significantly less likely to hold tri-council funding, independent of institution, rank, gender, and primary research methods utilized. Conclusions: The apparent under-funding of academic dietitians from federal tri-council sources requires exploration.

Objectif. Documenter la perception des soldats des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) quant aux facteurs influençant leur apport alimentaire en rations de combat durant leur travail en Arctique. Méthodes. Un questionnaire bilingue électronique a été envoyé nationalement à des soldats s’étant entraînés dans l’Arctique entre 2015 et 2018. Il comportait 6 questions ouvertes et 33 fermées sur les facteurs influençant l’apport alimentaire et l’acceptabilité des rations. Résultats. Parmi les 54 questionnaires remplis (taux de réponse : 31 %), 6 étaient incomplets et ont été exclus. L’échantillon final était composé de 48 militaires de neuf provinces ayant en moyenne 12,1 ± 6,8 années d’expérience dans les FAC. Les facteurs ayant le plus d’effets négatifs sur l’apport alimentaire étaient la température des aliments, le fait de manger en se déplaçant, l’horaire des exercices et activités, ainsi que l’équipement nécessaire à la préparation et à la consommation. Les participants ont déclaré avoir consommé entre 61 et 71 % des rations. Ils ont noté qu’un temps considérable était nécessaire pour préparer les rations puisqu’elles étaient congelées. Soixante-cinq pour cent des soldats ont rapporté une perte de poids durant leur travail dans l’Arctique. Conclusions. Une multitude de facteurs a influencé l’apport et les pratiques alimentaires des soldats. Ces résultats guideront les recherches futures et aideront à la prise de décisions concernant de possibles changements aux rations en Arctique.

To the question on the peculiarities of the legal regulation of labor relations in the martial law conditions
Authors: Bortnyk S. M. 
Published: August 2022

The peculiarities of legal regulation of labor relations, which are established by the special labor legislation of Ukraine under martial law, have been considered. The labor legislation, aimed at ensuring the realization of the right to work and rest in peacetime, turned out to be unable for objective reasons to regulate such relations in wartime conditions, therefore a separate Law of Ukraine “On the Organization of Labor Relations in Conditions of Martial Law” was adopted.
The individual labor rights of employees, which are limited by legislation during the martial law, have been investigated, and their consequences for both sides of labor relations have been clarified. On the territory of the country, in accordance with the Decree of the President of Ukraine “On the introduction of martial law in Ukraine”, the legislator temporarily limited a number of constitutional rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen for the period of the legal regime of martial law. The labor rights of Ukrainian citizens to work and to strike, which are provided for in Articles 43-44 of the Constitution of Ukraine, were also limited.
The essence of the concept of “martial law” and its features in terms of regulating labor relations have been clarified. It has been noted that there are no definitions of the categories “state of war” and “martial law” in the national legislation. The scientific views of scientists on this issue have been studied. The provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On the Organization of Labor Relations in the Conditions of Martial Law” have been analyzed with an emphasis on the realization of the right to work during the operation of the country under martial law, in particular the issues of: a) concluding an employment contract; b) termination of the employment contract; c) rest time d) working time.
Ways of improving and supplementing the current labor legislation, which regulates the issue of labor relations of employees of all forms of ownership and types of activity, have been proposed.

Published: August 2022

The issue of the effectiveness of peacekeeping educational processes on the basis of national patriotic education has been updated, taking into account global challenges and threats. It is proposed to create appropriate effective forms of education and science with emphasis on the training and retraining of peacekeeping personnel in the direction of conducting effective trainings, scientific research, lectures on various platforms (online auditoriums, amphitheatres, etc.). The formation of the necessary peacemaking skills is a guarantee of the stability of the state, especially regarding the unification around the solution of such issues as ecocide, genocide, modern states of war, ethnic hatred, racism, violence in the family, regarding the solution of various kinds of conflicts, communication and cooperation with issues of peace and security both in a separate country and in the world.
Important issues of psychological rehabilitation of military personnel, requirements for peacekeepers, methodological principles that can be adapted to police and other spheres of activity were also considered. In general, the development of professional competences in these areas is very important. Definitions of the terms “charitable activity”, “volunteer activity”, “peacemaking activity” are given, and their relationship is considered. The author’s definition of the concept of peacekeeping police activity is proposed. It is emphasized that the development of an effective model of peacekeeping policy is important for the formation of various branches of legal and social life, the construction of legal norms, sanction policy, which is carried out with the help of humane methods of legal regulation and, in general, concentrates the standards of the culture of behavior, the coherence of free expression of will on the basis of concepts peace, peacemaking, which is reflected in the formation of a legal culture based on the fundamental, universally recognized principles of law.
STUDIES ON THE POSSIBLE ROLE OF PLANT HOST ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROOT-KNOT NEMATODE, MELOIDOGYNE JAVANICA AND PASTEURIA PENETRANS AS AFFECTED BY DIFFERENT HARVESTING DATES
Authors: Shahid Muhammad , Gowen Simon R. , Burhan Muhammad 
Published: August 2022

There were strong interactions between plant-hosts and Pasteuria (P0.01) on numbers of eggmasses, root galling and numbers of eggs/eggmass produced by females of Meloidogyne javanica after 422, 595 and 767 degree days after first, second and third harvests. The presence and absence of the biocontrol agent (Pasteuria penetrans) in the treatments influenced these parameters and it was also influenced by plant hosts. After the first harvest, there were significant differences in the above-mentioned parameters between P. penetrans and control treatments (P0.01). There was lesser root galling (3.13) in the treatments where P. penetrans was applied compared with untreated control (5.53). Plant hosts also differed significantly in root galling (P0.01) and the interaction between plant-host and Pasteuria was non-significant (P0.05). After the second harvest, there were significant differences between Pasteuria and control treatments in these parameters. Plant-hosts differed significantly in numbers of eggmasses and root galling (P0.01) and there was no interaction between plant-host and Pasteuria (P0.05) regarding eggmasses and root galling. After the third harvest, there were significant differences between Pasteuria and control treatments in the production of eggmasses (P0.01), root galling, and the number of eggs/eggmass (P0.01). There were fewer eggmasses (379) and lesser galling (5.1) in the treatments where P. penetrans was applied. Plant-hosts differed significantly in numbers of eggmasses and root galling (P0.01). However, there was no interaction between plant-host and Pasteuria (P0.05) regarding eggmasses and root galling. Contrarily, a significant interaction between plant-hosts and Pasteuria (P0.01) and greater numbers of eggs were observed among females developed on tomato in the presence (385) and absence (629) of Pasteuria. The rate of parasitism of M. javanica was very low and there was no P. penetrans infection after 422-degree days as neither vegetative stages nor mature endospores were observed in females. After 595-degree days, few females were observed having vegetative stages of the bacterium. The parasitism of females was only observed though very low after 767-degree days and females reared on okra were infected in greater numbers than those reared on tomato and eggplant.

Published: August 2022

Biochar derived from biomass is regarded as a promising adsorbent for wastewater treatment, but the high cost of modification is still a challenge for its large-scale practical applications. In this study, we employed steel slag as a low-cost fabricant and synthesized hydrothermally carbonized steel slag (HCSS), as a stable environmentally functional material for heavy metal removal. Typically, positively and negatively charged heavy metal contaminants of Hg2+ and Cr2O72− were employed to testify the performance of HCSS as an adsorbent, and good capacities [(283.24 mg/g for Hg (II) and 323.16 mg/g for Cr (VI)] were found. The feasibility of HCSS on real wastewater purification was also evaluated, as the removal efficiency was 94.11% and 88.65% for Hg (II) and Cr (VI), respectively. Mechanism studies revealed that the modification of steel slag on bio-adsorbents offered copious active sites for pollutants. As expected, oxygen-containing functional groups in HCSS acted as the main contributor to adsorption capacity. Moreover, some reactive iron species (i.e., Fe2+) played an essential role in chemical reduction of Cr (VI). The adsorptive reactions were pH-dependent, owing to other more mechanisms, such as coprecipitation, ion-exchange, and electrostatic attraction. This promising recycling approach of biomass waste and the design of agro-industrial byproducts can be highly suggestive of the issues of resource recovery in the application of solid waste-derived environmentally functional materials for heavy metal remediation.

Published: August 2022

BackgroundAutomated urine technology providing standard urinalysis data can be used to support clinicians in screening and managing a UTI-suspected sample. Fully automated urinalysis systems have expanded in laboratory practice. Commonly used were devices based on digital imaging with automatic particle recognition, which expresses urinary sediment results on an ordinal scale. There were introduced fluorescent flow cytometry analyzers reporting all parameters quantitatively. There is a need to harmonize the result and support comparing bacteria and WBC qualitative versus semiquantitative results.MethodsA total of 1,131 urine samples were analyzed on both automated urinalysis systems. The chemical components of urinalysis (leukocyte esterase and nitrate reductase) and the sediment results (leukocytes and bacteria) were investigated as potential UTI indicators. Additionally, 106 specimens were analyzed on UF-5000 and compared with culture plating to establish cut-offs that can be suitable for standard urinalysis requirements and help to guide on how to interpret urinalysis results in the context of cultivation reflex.ResultsThe medians of bacteria counts varies from 16.2 (absence), 43.0 (trace), 443.5 (few), 5,389.2 (moderate), 19,356.6 (many) to 32,545.2 (massive) for particular digital microscopic bacteriuria thresholds. For pyuria thresholds, the medians of WBC counts varies from 0.8 (absence), 2.0 (0-1), 7.7 (2-3), 21.3 (4-6), 38.9 (7-10), 61.3 (11-15) to 242.2 (&gt;30). Comparing the culture and FFC data (bacterial and/or WBC counts) was performed. Satisfactory sensitivity (100%), specificity (83.7%), negative predictive value (100%), and positive predictive value (75%) were obtained using indicators with the following cut-off values: leukocytes ≥40/µl or bacteria ≥300/µl.ConclusionsAccurate urinalysis gives information about the count of bacteria and leukocytes as useful indicators in UTIs, in general practice it can be a future tool to cross-link clinical and microbiology laboratories. However, the cut-off adjustments require individual optimization.

Published: August 2022

BackgroundThere is limited research on the use of digital interventions among individuals with opioid use disorders (OUD) in low-and-middle income countries. This study aimed to assess mobile phone ownership, digital technology use and acceptability of digital interventions for treatment among individuals on treatment for OUD in Nairobi, Kenya.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals with OUD. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, use of mobile phones and other digital technology and acceptability of digital interventions for treatment.ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were enrolled comprising 83.3% males with mean age of 31.5 years (SD 8.6). Mobile phone ownership was reported by 77.2% of participants of which 59.7% used smartphones. One hundred and sixty-six (92.2%) used phones to call, 82.8 and 77.2% used phones to send and receive text messages respectively; 30% used the internet; 57.2% had replaced the phone in past year and 51.1% of participants reported use of at least one social media platform, of these 44.4% had searched social media for information on drug use. Acceptability to receive treatment by phone was 95% and computer 49.4% with majority (88.1%) preferring a text message-based intervention. The preferred approach of delivery of a text message-based intervention were: one text message per day once a week, message to be personalized and individuals allowed to choose time and day to receive the message. Factors associated with acceptability of digital interventions were education level, being single, smartphone ownership and employment.ConclusionMajority of individuals on treatment for OUD had access to mobile phones but with high device turnover and limited access to computers and internet. There was high acceptability of digital interventions to provide treatment for OUDs, mostly through phones. These findings highlight factors to consider in the design of a digital intervention for this population.
The appraisal of tropical cyclones in the North Indian Ocean: An overview of different approaches and the involvement of Earth’s components
Authors: Tiwari Gaurav , Kumar Pankaj , Tiwari Pooja 
Published: August 2022

This study aims to provide a comprehensive and balanced assessment of recent scientific studies on the evolution, temporal variability and prediction of tropical cyclones (TCs), focusing on the North Indian Ocean (NIO). The involvement of earth’s components in TC genesis and intensification has been elaborated in a confined way. The advancement of multidisciplinary approaches for comprehending the TCs is highlighted after a brief description of the involvement of oceanic, atmospheric, and land surface processes. Only a few studies illustrate how land surface plays a role in TC intensification; however, the role of latent heat flow, moisture, and convection in cyclogenesis is well documented. Despite two to 3 decades of advancement and significant development in forecasting techniques and satellite products, the prediction of TC’s intensity, dissipation, track, and landfall remains a challenge. The most noticeable improvements in NIO TC’s prediction have been achieved in the last couple of decades when concord techniques are utilized, especially the data assimilation methods and dynamical coupled atmosphere-ocean regional models. Through diverse methodologies, algorithms, parameterization, in-situ observational data, data mining, boundary layer, and surface fluxes, significant research has been done to increase the skills of standalone atmospheric models and air-sea coupled models. However, some crucial issues still exist, and it is suggested that they should be addressed in future studies.

Published: August 2022

The large Harizha copper (Cu) polymetallic deposit is located in the eastern section of East Kunlun Orogen. The ore-related lithologies include mainly the granodiorite, monzogranite, and their porphyries. Zircon U-Pb dating of the ore-bearing granodiorite porphyry and granite porphyry yielded Late Triassic age of 217 Ma. The rocks are characterized by being rich in SiO2 (68.44–78.13 wt%) and high alkali (4.03–8.33 wt%) and peraluminous (A/CNK = 1.02–1.68). In general, the granite samples are peraluminous and high-K calc-alkaline. The rocks are significantly enriched in light rare earth elements (LREE), large ion lithophile elements (e.g., K, Rb, Ba) and other incompatible elements (e.g., U, Th), but are depleted in heavy rare earth elements (HREEs), with weakly negative Eu and Ce anomalies, resembling I-S transitional granite. The zircons have εHf (t) = -8 to -4, and the corresponding zircon two-stage Hf model age (TDM2) from 1.5 to 1.8 Ga. We speculated that the ore-forming materials in the mining area were mainly from partial remelting of crustal materials, and that the tectonic regime was post-collisional extension.
