EFFECT OF SOIL FUMIGATION AND SIX SOIL WATER REGIMES ON MINERAL CONTENT OF CARROTS

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Mineral content of carrots grown in a Lumbum muck soil was affected by soil fumigation and by soil water regime. Foliage of plants grown in fumigated soil had greater levels of P, Ca, Mn, Fe and Zn but lower levels of N and Al, while roots had greater levels of P, Na, Mn, Zn, Cu and Pb and a lower level of N in fumigated than in nonfumigated soil. Plants provided with ample soil water tended to have higher levels of P in roots and in foliage than plants grown under a dry regime. Cu and Pb levels in foliage were affected in the opposite manner.
METABOLIC SYNDROME PREVALENCE AND PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS IN HOSPITALISED PATIENTS AFTER STROKE

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction- Stroke causes a variety of neurological signs and symptoms, which vary depending on the extent, area of involvement, and underlying cause. Coma, hemiplegia, paraplegia, monoplegia, cranial nerve palsy, speech disturbance, and sensory impairment are examples. Hemiplegia is the most common of these, affecting approximately 90% of patients. Objectives- To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in stroke patients. To investigate the role of various components of metabolic syndrome in the development of stroke. Methods- During the study period of 2 years, all patients with stroke aged more than 30 years and less than 60 years were admitted to Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Bihar, India. A minimum of 50 stroke patients must be over the age of 30 and under the age of 60. We used simple random sampling. For analysis, SPSS (22.0) was used. A detailed history of all subjects will be taken, particularly a family history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, weight gain, alcohol use, and a history of other cerebrovascular disease risk factors. Results- Out of 50 stroke patients, 28 had metabolic syndrome. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in stroke patients was 56%. 70% were men and 30% were women. When compared to males, females had a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome. It is, however, not statistically significant. The most common mode of presentation in both stroke with and without metabolic syndrome was weakness, which was followed by deviation of the angle of the mouth, aphasia, and loss of consciousness. Conclusion- Long-term follow-up population-based studies have shown that healthy people with the Metabolic syndrome have a significantly increased risk of major cardiovascular events, such as stroke and cardiovascular mortality.
Digestibility and Nutritional Quality of Apple Tree Roots and Other Orchard Forages of the Pine Vole

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Analysis of the seasonal food habits of pine voles (Microtus pinetorum) by Cengel et a1. (1978) revealed that apple tree root consumption occurs only during winter months. Increased root consumption in the winter has been postulated to be due to a decrease in the quantity and quality of other foods in orchards. However, the normal translocation of carbohydrates into the root systems of trees during the dormant season may improve the quality of apple tree roots as a food source for voles. One objective of the pine vole nutrition studies at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is to examine the seasonal variation in the quality of the pine vole's diet and the seasonal quality of apple tree roots as a food source for pine voles.

Association Between Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Subclinical Atherosclerosis: A Study of Carotid Intima-Media Thickness

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major contributor to chronic liver disease worldwide. It is associated with metabolic syndrome, central obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and cardiovascular risks. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a recognized surrogate marker for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk. Objective: To evaluate the CIMT in patients diagnosed with NAFLD, highlighting potential pathophysiological correlations and clinical implications. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Al Kindy Teaching Hospital over 4 months from October 2023 to February 2024. The sample size was 100 patients showing ultrasonic signs of fatty liver changes (44 were males and 56 were females). These patients underwent carotid Doppler ultrasound, and the intima-media thickness was measured. Results: Of the 100 patients, 53 had a CIMT greater than 0.08 cm, 23 had grade I fatty liver, 24 had grade II fatty liver, and 6 had grade III fatty liver. Of the 47 patients with a CIMT < 0.08 cm, 16 had grade II fatty liver and 31 had grade I fatty liver. The results were statistically significant (p=0.015). The logistic regression shows a higher fatty liver stage significantly associated with increased IMT, but BMI is not significantly associated with thickened carotid intima-media. Conclusions: NAFLD patients exhibit a higher propensity for subclinical atherosclerosis, as evidenced by increased CIMT, and its monitoring may serve as a valuable noninvasive tool in cardiovascular risk stratification, especially in metabolically compromised NAFLD populations.
Misinterpreting Modified Gravity as Dark Energy: a Quantitative Study

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Standard cosmological data analyses typically constrain simple phenomenological dark-energy parameters, for example the present-day value of the equation of state parameter, $w_0$, and its variation with scale factor, $w_a$. However, results from such an analysis cannot easily indicate the presence of modified gravity. Even if general relativity does not hold, experimental data could still be fit sufficiently well by a phenomenological $w_0w_a$CDM, unmodified-gravity model. Hence, it would be very useful to know if there are generic signatures of modified gravity in standard analyses. Here we present, for the first time to our knowledge, a quantitative mapping showing how modified gravity models look when (mis)interpreted within the standard unmodified-gravity analysis. Scanning through a broad space of modified-gravity (Horndeski) models, and assuming a near-future survey consisting of CMB, BAO, and SNIa observations, we report values of the best-fit set of cosmological parameters including $(w_0, w_a)$ that would be inferred if modified gravity were at work. We find that modified gravity models that can masquerade as standard gravity lead to very specific biases in standard-parameter spaces. We also comment on implications for measurements of the amplitude of mass fluctuations described by the parameter $S_8$.
China's Translucent Judicial Transparency

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter from the book Transparency Challenges Facing China examines recent developments in China's judicial transparency. It suggests that although the scope of judicial transparency is inevitably shaped by the requirements to keep state and work secrets confidential, the Supreme People's Court, within the boundaries of what is politically achievable, is taking concrete steps to expand the scope of judicial transparency and considers international indicators when doing so. It shows that views on judicial transparency within the Chinese Party and government system are not as monolithic as an outsider to the Chinese judiciary might have initially assumed.
Structural vacancy revisited: Are user demands changing?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

<p>Financial and real estate crises and ìthe new way of workingîù reduce the need for office space, and office markets become replacement markets without a quantitative need for new office buildings: New buildings drive out bad buildings. In the Netherlands, currently 15% of the office space is vacant, of which 60% is regarded structurally vacant, meaning vacancy of the same square meters for three or more consecutive years, without perspective of future tenancy. The Amsterdam office market comprises 7 million m2 office space, of which 18% is vacant. Due to the on-going construction of new buildings and that only a small amount of buildings are demolished or otherwise taken off the market, the vacancy is expected to continue to increase. When relocating, organisations consider buildings and locations within geographically defined markets. Though location characteristics are important, eventually building characteristics play an important role. Organisations prefer office buildings that facilitate their main processes and support their corporate image. This paper presents results of studies on the association between structural vacancy and the characteristics of office buildings and locations. The revealed ìòvetoí preferences of office organisations were analysed by relating structural vacancy to property characteristics. The physical characteristics of 200 office properties were studied using logistic regression analyses to determine if a relationship exists between physical property characteristics and structural vacancy. Understanding office user preferences is important to understand movements within office markets. This paper studies the changes in office user accommodation preferences by studying the changes in structural vacancy over a time span of 10 years ìì from 2001 to 2011. The results of this study reveal movements in the Amsterdam office market and shows which office locations and buildings involve the highest risk in the current market situation.</p>
“I Help Them Navigate the Organization”: Recognizing the Contributions of Non-Clinical Professionals to Person-Centered Approaches in Assisted Living

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The current study explored the contribution of non-clinical professionals, such as housekeepers and maintenance mechanics, in promoting person-centered care (PCC) for older adults residing in assisted living. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews with staff ( n = 8), concierge ( n = 2), maintenance mechanics ( n = 2), housekeepers ( n = 3), and an administrative assistant ( n = 1) from an assisted living organization were conducted. Interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed, and reviewed for accuracy. The comments from the staff were coded based on prior PCC themes (i.e., promoting decision making, meaningful living, pleasurable living, and personhood). Results show that non-clinical staff play an important role in facilitating PCC in their everyday tasks with residents. A new sub-theme was added regarding how non-clinical staff help residents in assisted living navigate the organization. Findings suggest that all tasks, no matter how routine, can be performed in a person-centered manner, contributing to the quality of life of older adults in assisted living. The authors recommend including all staff who have direct contact with residents in person-centered education and training efforts as they support the PCC goals of an organization.

Pemahaman Hadis Sutrah dalam Shalat: Tanggapan terhadap Kaum Feminis yang Keberatan dengan "Binatang dan Wanita itu Sederajat"

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study aims to discuss the hadis about understanding the sutrah in prayer. This research is a qualitative method by literature study using the syarah hadis methods. The results and discussion of this study include the definition of the sutrah, the types of sutrah, the provisions of the sutrah, the editorials of the hadis in the sutrah, and feminist responses to the traditions of the sutrah and their explanations. The results of the study explaining the distance between people who pray and the sutrah, the size of the height of the sutra, the sutrah in Indonesia, how to prevent people passing in front of the mushalli, and cancel the prayer if there is no sutrah. The results also found that the sutrah or barrier in prayer does not have to be in accordance with what has been mentioned above. What is clear is that these objects can prevent someone from passing in front of people who are praying. The distance between the person who prays and his surah is that there is sufficient space for prostration. The forms of Sutrah or barriers that exist in Indonesia are shaf and prayer mats. The opinion regarding the prohibition of walking in front of people praying is still a difference of opinion among the schools of thought.
Leptin, a tool of parasites?

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

One common physiological phenomenon that is involved both in infectious and in malignant processes is the reduction in appetite: disease anorexia. An increase in plasma levels of leptin with inflammation is thought to be involved in this process. However, from an evolutionary perspective, in certain cases, it would be more adaptive for an internal parasite to stimulate the appetite of the host instead of causing its suppression. We tested whether a parasitic infection with the larvae of the helminth parasite Taenia taeniaformis affects the levels of appetite-regulating proteins, such as leptin, ghrelin and neuropeptide-Y (NPY) in wild yellow-necked mouse ( Apodemus flavicollis ). We found that infected mice had lower plasma levels of leptin and increased levels of NPY than the uninfected subjects. Ghrelin levels were not associated with the occurrence of the parasites; however, these levels strongly correlated with the levels of NPY. This study suggests a possible manipulation by parasitic larvae of appetite regulation in infected subjects.
The significance of cytomegalovirus in children with pneumonia admitted for mechanical ventilation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND: The pathogenic role of cytomegalovirus (CMV) among children with pneumonia is not clear.OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN: We describe the outcome of children on mechanical ventilation with ‘probable' CMV-related pneumonitis (CMV DNA polymerase chain reaction [PCR] positive as well as clinical and imaging features of CMV on ganciclovir) and children with pneumonia and CMV infection (CMV DNA PCR-positive without clinical and imaging features of CMV and not on ganciclovir therapy) at a paediatric intensive care unit in South Africa between 2011 and 2013. CMV viral loads were measured in non-bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (NBBALF), plasma and whole-blood samples.RESULTS: Of the 97 children enrolled, 38 had CMV-related pneumonitis, 27 had pneumonia and CMV infection and 32 had pneumonia without CMV infection (negative CMV DNA PCR). Survival in the three groups was respectively 73.7% ( P < 0.05), 92.6% ( P < 0.05) and 88.0%. The difference in outcome could be accounted for by variance in the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (respectively 60.5% and 29.6%, P < 0.05). A higher CMV viral load in NBBALF and plasma was seen in cases of CMV-related pneumonitis than in pneumonia with CMV infection: respectively log 5.20 vs. log 4.10 ( P < 0.05) and 4.56 vs. 3.47 ( P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONS: HIV-infected children on mechanical ventilation with CMV-related pneumonitis on ganciclovir have poor outcomes. Randomised placebo-controlled studies on ganciclovir are required.
Monitoring of amorfization of the oxygen implanted layers in silicon wafers using photothermal radiometry and modulated free carrier absorption methods

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents experimental results that characterize implanted layers in silicon being the result of a high energy implantation of O+6 ions. We propose a simple relation between attenuation of photothermal radiometry and/or modulated free carrier absorption amplitudes, the implanted layer thickness and its optical absorption coefficient. The thickness of the implanted layers was determined from capacitance–voltage characteristics and computations with the TRIM program. The obtained results allowed to estimate changes of the optical absorption coefficient of the oxygen implanted layers indicating the amorfization of the layers.

Corporate Governance and Information Asymmetry

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The financial industry is regarded as the backbone of the economy, and good corporate governance is critical to its smooth operation. Keeping in view the importance of corporate governance, this study aims to empirically investigate the impact of corporate governance on information asymmetry with moderating role of institutional quality of Islamic and conventional financial institutions. We used unbalanced panel data from 2006 to 2017 of 49 financial institutions including commercial banks, insurance companies, and Modaraba companies. A two-step system-Generalize Method of Moments (GMM) estimator is used to mitigate the endogeneity problem. Corporate governance of Conventional Financial Institutions (CFIs) is significantly related to information asymmetry however, the board size, and board composition of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) are insignificant with asymmetric information index (AII). Further, the size of the shari’ah board is negatively and significantly related to AII. Institutional Quality (IQ) is significantly contributed toward the reduction of information asymmetry and plays a role as a moderator. Further, the impact of corporate governance on IFIs and CFIs differs due to the nature and contractual relationship of the parties and the institution’s type. The results of the study reveal that good quality institutions are important for corporate governance structure and the reduction of information asymmetry in financial institutions.

Individuals and International Public Opinion as an Actor in International Relations

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The term “International public opinion” is now also used by various actors outside the militant field. The media but also governments and international organizations that invoke international public opinion tend to make it a uniform and sometimes lively entity: public opinion can thus “be moved”; “indignant” and even undergo “psychological shocks”. Individuals are of crucial importance to world affairs, this idea is based on certain assumptions such as, acquisitions of better analytical skills, global political system has entered a period of prolonged turbulence which makes it particularly sensitive to micro politics influences and the upheaval of skills is considerable since citizens today shape the overall results in a much more important way than in the past.
