Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

[Objectives] To provide basic information for developing new varieties of whitefly-resistant eggplants, and to investigate the host-preferences for, and fitness of, Bemisia tabaci(Gennadius) B-biotype with respect to different eggplant varieties. [Methods] The preference of B. tabaci B-biotype for different varieties of eggplant and the effect of feeding on different eggplant varieties on B. tabaci B-biotype's growth, production, survival and life-table parameters were studied in a greenhouse under T=(29±2)℃, RH=80%±5% and natural lighting. [Results] The results show that the B. tabaci B-biotype clearly preferred some of the fourteen varieties, or strains, of eggplant tested, over others. The most preferred eggplant variety was Heimazichangqie and the least preferred was Longqie No.1. The survival and the reproduction of B. tabaci also differed significantly on the different varieties, or strains, of eggplant; highest fitness was observed on Longqie No.1, and the lowest on Liaoqie No.3. The shortest developmental duration was on Liaoqie No.3 and the longest on Xuzhouchangqie. The population trend index(I) on the Suqiqie, Yangqie No.1 and Ziyuanqie eggplant varieties was 8.7215, 37.4675 and 25.6245, respectively, and the relative fitness of Bemisia tabaci on these eggplant varieties was, in descending order, SuqiqieYangqie No.1Ziyuanqie.
Mengenal Budaya Batak Toba Melalui Falsafah “Dalihan Na Tolu” (Perspektif Kohesi dan Kerukunan)

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Dalihan Natolu is understood as the identity and rules that govern the social system and as a determining factor in the custom of Batak culture. There are several studies about the meaning and values of this philosophy. This article intended to search and to find the philosophical foundation of Dalihan Natolu. At the same time, this article also wants to show how is “the das sollen” and “das sein” of Dalihan Natolu in the recent time. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive-interpretative me­thod in the perspective of philosophy of phenomenology and library re­search. The results of this research shows that Dalihan Natolu is the mani­festation of the essence of life of the human being itself and the result of the search for the depth of the life of Batak Toba people. Dalihan Natolu is the manifestation of the nature of the Debata Natolu (Triune God). He be­comes the pillar and guarantor of a harmonious life of the entire order of the Toba Batak culture in order to pursue and reach happiness of life (das sollen). Unfortunately, there have been shifting and deviations of values and also perspective changing about the position of the three func­tional groups in Dalihan Na Tolu itself called Hula-hula, Dongan Sabu­tuha, and Boru (das sein).Keywords: Dalihan Na Tolu, Hula-hula, Dongan Sabutuha, BoruDalihan Natolu dipahami sebagai identitas dan pedoman hidup yang mengatur sistem kekerabatan serta menjadi faktor penentu dalam adat budaya Batak. Tulisan ini memiliki dua tujuan yaitu: mencari dan mene­mu­kan landasan filosofis Dalihan Natolu; dan menampilkan bagai­mana “das sollen” dan “das sein” Dalihan Natolu di zaman “now”. Metode pe­ne­litian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif-interpretatif dalam pers­­pektif filsafat fenomenologi dan penelitian kepustakaan. Hasil pene­litian menunjukkan bahwa Dalihan Natolu merupakan perwujudan hakikat hidup manusia itu sendiri dan merupakan hasil pencarian makna hidup suku Batak Toba. Dalihan Natolu merupakan perwujudan dari hakikat De­bata Natolu (Allah yang tiga). Dia menjadi tiang penyangga dan pen­jamin menuju kehidupan yang harmonis. Namun demikian telah terjadi pergeser­an, penyimpangan nilai serta perubahan cara pandang akan posisi kedu­du­kan ketiga golongan fungsional yang ada dalam Dalihan Natolu, yaitu Hula-hula, Dongan Sabutuha, dan Boru.Kata kunci: Dalihan Na Tolu, Hula-hula, Dongan Sabutuha, Boru
Epidural Abscess in the Lumbar Spine: A Single Institution's Experience With Nonsurgical and Surgical Management.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to compare patient factors and outcomes in conservatively and surgically treated patients with spinal epidural abscess (SEA). This was a single-center retrospective review of adult patients treated for SEA of the lumbar spine. Primary treatment outcome was readmission for recurrent abscess. Sixty-one patients met inclusion criteria: 59% male, mean age 56.9 years, and body mass index 30.8 kg/m2. Initially 47.5% of patients were treated with conservative measures and 52.5% were treated with surgery. In the conservative group, 31.0% failed treatment and underwent delayed surgery; 26.2% of the overall cohort was readmitted for SEA. Readmitted patients had a greater incidence of history of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (p = .048), recurrent infections (p = .008), and recent sepsis and bacteremia (p = .005). Nearly one-third of patients failed initial conservative treatment and needed delayed surgery; however, no significant differences were found between the two treatment groups. Patients with a past history of infections may require more aggressive treatment and closer follow-up, because they are at higher risk for recurrence and readmission.

Integration of Liquid Organic Fertilizer Fermentor with Automated Hydroponic Fertilization Based on IoT

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

As urbanization continues to accelerate, particularly in cities like Surabaya, the availability of agricultural land has been steadily decreasing, making food security a growing concern. In response to these challenges, urban farming, particularly through hydroponic systems, has emerged as a promising solution to ensure sustainable food production in limited spaces. However, issues such as the high cost and limited availability of high-quality fertilizers, as well as the difficulty in maintaining a consistent farming schedule, have posed significant barriers. This study aims to address these challenges by integrating IoT-based systems for temperature and pH monitoring, aiming to enhance farming efficiency. The validation results for both the DS18B20 Temperature Sensor and the pH Sensor 4502-C demonstrate their high accuracy and reliability for environmental monitoring. The DS18B20 sensor showed minimal error, with 0.89% for increasing temperatures and 1.34% for decreasing temperatures, achieving 99.11% and 98.66% accuracy, respectively. These results confirm the sensor’s effectiveness in real-time temperature control applications, such as those used in hydroponics and fermentation systems. Similarly, the pH Sensor 4502-C exhibited remarkable performance, with 99% accuracy in the acidic buffer, 98.99% in the neutral buffer, and 99% in the basic buffer. The error rates were extremely low, at 0.002% for acidic and basic buffers, and 0.01% for the neutral buffer, reinforcing the sensor’s reliability for pH monitoring in controlled environments.

AN ADULT HEART WITH A DEFICIENT PERICARDIUM

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The accompanying illustration shows a heart weighing 480 gm., which in situ was lying free on the left lung. No pericardium was visible except a triangular-shaped flap, which blended with the epicardium over the right side of the heart and was attached at the apex and near the emergence of the major arteries. The posterior portion of the heart was entirely devoid of pericardium. There was one other curiosity in the chest wall, namely, unequal fat deposit over the sternum; the right side scantily, the left side richly padded. It was thought that the continued beat of the uncovered heart against this portion of the chest might have interfered with the blood supply and contributed to the fracture of a rib before the patient's death. The patient, aged 56, had general paralysis. The heart action was never attended by any known clinical irregularity, though there was no pericardial fluid. No
Accounting for Macro-Finance Trends: Market Power, Intangibles, and Risk Premia

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Real risk-free interest rates have trended down over the past 30 years.Puzzlingly, in light of this decline, (1) the return on private capital has remained stable or even increased, creating an increasing wedge with safe interest rates; (2) stock market valuation ratios have increased only moderately; (3) and investment has been lackluster.We use a simple extension of the neoclassical growth model to diagnose the nexus of forces that jointly accounts for these developments.We find that rising market power, rising unmeasured intangibles, and rising risk premia play a crucial role, over and above the traditional culprits of increasing savings supply and technological growth slowdown.1.
Synovial Fluid Ghrelin Levels in Patients With or Without Cartilage Injury Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objectives The aim of our study was to measure synovial fluid levels of ghrelin in patients with ACL injury to evaluate its potential function as a diagnostic biomarker for cartilage injury. Methods Patients were prospectively recruited in this study, compromising a cohort of subjects that had synovial fluid samples collected. Patients’ synovial fluid sampling was collected to evaluate ghrelin level. Venous blood samples were taken from all subjects to test inflammation markers IL-6, TNF-α, MMP-3, MMP-13 and also serum ghrelin level. Correlation between synovial fluid ghrelin level and inflammatory biomarkers were analyzed using spearman’s correlation analysis. The best cut-off of synovial fluid ghrelin level was defined using Medcalc. Results Patients in the ACL reconstruction with cartilage damage had lowest synovial fluid ghrelin level (ACL reconstruction with cartilage damage group: 264.6±65 pg/ml, ACL reconstruction without cartilage damage group: 466.8±92.6 pg/ml, healthy controls: 471.5±89.3 pg/ml, P < 0.001). Synovial fluid ghrelin level was negatively associated with IL-6 (r=-0.700, P < 0.001), MMP-3 (r=-0.702, P < 0.001) and MANKIN score (r=-0.768, P < 0.001). Patients with synovial fluid ghrelin level ≤ 333 pg/ml had higher chance of cartilage injury with specificity of 91.7% and sensitivity of 87.5%. Discussion In conclusion, synovial fluid ghrelin was a useful biomarker to predict cartilage injury for patients undergoing ACL reconstruction. Synovial fluid ghrelin was negatively correlated with IL-6, MMP-3 and MANKIN score. Synovial fluid ghrelin ≤ 333 pg/ml was a useful biomarker for cartilage damage in patients with ACL injury.
Teratogenic Effect of 5-Hydroxytryptamine in Mice

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The subcutaneous injection of a single dose of 5-hydroxytryptamine into pregnant mice produced a large number of fetal abnormalities, mostly of the eyes, limbs, and tail; the skull and central nervous system were also sometimes affected. These effects could result from the action of the drug on placental function and blood supply.
The impact of hispanic ethnicity in presentation and outcomes of patients with synovial sarcoma.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

e18682 Background: Synovial sarcomas (SS) harbor a specific, balanced, reciprocal translocation t(X;18) leading to the oncogenic SS18-SSX fusion. It accounts for 5-10% of all soft tissue sarcomas, and there is a lack of information regarding the impact of race and ethnicity on its presentation and outcomes. Florida is currently not included in the SEER database, and it is the US's ninth-most diverse population, with a diversity index of 64.1% and with the sixth-highest Hispanic population among all states. Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC) and Memorial Healthcare System (MHS) are two large oncology centers in South Florida that provide care for this rare type of tumor. We aimed to identify the impact of Hispanic ethnicity in SS. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with a confirmed diagnosis of SS between January 2003 and January 2022 in SCCC and MHS. All data were retrieved from electronic medical records. SPSS Statistics was utilized, Fisher exact test and log-rank test were used for analysis. A two-sided p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 73 patients had a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of SS, with information regarding ethnicity, during the time period evaluated, 45.3% were Hispanic, and 54.7% were non-Hispanic. The Hispanic group was comprised mainly of female patients (66%) with a median age of diagnosis of 44 years old, these findings were similar in the non-Hispanic group, where 55% were women, and the median age at diagnosis was 42 years old. Fewer patients identified themselves as Black within the Hispanic group (3%) compared to the non-Hispanic (22%) (p = 0.016). The most common site of primary disease was the extremity in both groups (Hispanic 63% vs non-Hispanic 75%) (p = 0.384). Most tumors were diagnosed with a size bigger than 5cm (Hispanic 57% vs non-Hispanic 65%) (p = 0.577) and with pathology reporting a monophasic SS (Hispanic 45% vs non-Hispanic 50%) vs biphasic or poorly differentiated (p = 0.061). Non-Hispanics had more poorly differentiated tumors (Hispanic 3% vs non-Hispanic 17.5%) (p = 0.054). Hispanic patients did have fewer cases of metastatic disease at diagnosis (Hispanic 9% vs non-Hispanic 32%) (p = 0.023). The median overall survival (mOS) among Hispanic patients was not reached in our study, and mOS among the non-Hispanic patients was 5 years (p = 0.099). Conclusions: In our study, the patients more commonly presented with large tumors ( > 5cm) in the extremity and monophasic histology, regardless of their ethnicity. Non-Hispanic patients more often had poorly differentiated tumors, metastatic disease at diagnosis, and a trend toward worse mOS. This study had limited power due to the limited number of patients, and further studies are needed to identify the presence of disease-related differences in these populations.
This I Know: An Exploration of Remembering Childhood and Knowing Now

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article makes use of experimental writing to explore childhood trauma, and its subject. In it, I examine or tell myself within the gendered and raced context of my family history. However, this piece is also about ideologies and what it means to know something. Through experimental writing, I explore a nonlinear, repetitive kind of knowing and speaking the world that both challenges and compliments more traditional sociological ways of knowing society.
Antiulcer activity of the stem bark aqueous extract of Croton oligandrum (Euphorbiaceae) against Ethanol/HCl-induced gastric mucosal injury in rats

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Gastric ulcer is an alteration of the lining of the stomach with destruction of mucus-producing cells. Many factors are contributing to the development of peptic ulcer such as phygiological stress, high production of acid, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and alcohol consumption. Croton oligandrum is traditionally used to treat many diseases including gastric ulcers. This study aims to investigate the cytoprotective activity of Croton oligandrum. To assess the gastroprotective potential of Croton oligandrum ulcer models were established using ethanol and indomethacin. Sucralfate was used as reference anti-ulcer drugs. Rats were treated with Croton oligandrum before induction of gastric ulceration by ethanol/HCl or HCl-ethanol-Indomethacin. The area and ulcer index appearance of ulcers were quantified, and mucus was measured. Pretreatment with Croton oligandrum showed a remarkable decrease in ulcer area when compared with control groups. Croton oligandrum (50, 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg of body weight) exhibited gastroprotective activity and prevented both gastric lesions induced in rats.
Genomic Analyses of Phenotypic Differences Between Native and Invasive Populations of Diffuse Knapweed (Centaurea diffusa)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Invasive species represent excellent opportunities to study the evolutionary potential of traits important to success in novel environments. Although some ecologically important traits have been identified in invasive species, little is typically known about the genetic mechanisms that underlie invasion success in non-model species. Here, we use a genome-wide association (GWAS) approach to identify the genetic basis of trait variation in the non-model, invasive, diffuse knapweed [ Centaurea diffusa Lam. (Asteraceae)]. To assist with this analysis, we have assembled the first draft genome reference and fully annotated plastome assembly for this species, and one of the first from this large, weedy, genus, which is of major ecological and economic importance. We collected phenotype data from 372 individuals from four native and four invasive populations of C. diffusa grown in a common environment. Using these individuals, we produced reduced-representation genotype-by-sequencing (GBS) libraries and identified 7,058 SNPs. We identify two SNPs associated with leaf width in these populations, a trait which significantly varies between native and invasive populations. In this rosette forming species, increased leaf width is a major component of increased biomass, a common trait in invasive plants correlated with increased fitness. Finally, we use annotations from Arabidopsis thaliana to identify 98 candidate genes that are near the associated SNPs and highlight several good candidates for leaf width variation.
COVID-19 and the Power Sector in Southeast Asia: Impacts and Opportunities

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

The COVID-19 pandemic is unique among the range of threats encountered over the last century, and its specific impacts do not necessarily resemble those of other disasters. In the near term, the pandemic is causing demand shocks, workforce impacts, supply chain complications, and a global, economic contraction with long-term consequences as yet unknown. In contrast, with natural disasters the principal impacts are more acute. These include infrastructure destruction, displaced populations, and often localized economic impact; however, the long-term response to both of these threats–pandemics and destructive forces of nature–requires similar approaches to building short-term and long-term resilience that prepare power sectors for safe and reliable operation during times of disruption.
Effects of magnetic field and isotopic substitution upon the infrared absorption of manganites

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Employing a variational approach that takes into account electron-phonon and\nmagnetic interactions in $La_{1-x}A_xMnO_3$ perovskites with $0<x<0.5$, the\neffects of the magnetic field and the oxygen isotope substitution on the phase\ndiagram, the electron-phonon correlation function and the infrared absorption\nat $x=0.3$ are studied. The lattice displacements show a strong correlation\nwith the conductivity and the magnetic properties of the system. Then the\nconductivity spectra are characterized by a marked sensitivity to the external\nparameters near the phase boundary.\n
