RESPONSE OF Carum carvi L. FRUIT AND ESSENTIAL OIL YIELD TO SOWING METHOD , PLANTING DISTANCES AND SOME MICRONUTRIENT APPLICATION METHODS

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Two field trials were conducted during 1998 / 1999 and 1999 / 2000 at El-Gimiza Research Station Farm, to study the effect of sowing method (at one side of the ridge or both sides of the ridge), two planting distances (20 or 30 cm) and some micronutrients (mixture of Zn , Mn and Fe) as seed coating or foliar spray on the growth, fruit and oil yield and essential oil constituents of Carum carvi L. The data showed that the vegetative growth and fruit yield/plant significantly increased with sowing plants at one side of the ridge and wide space of 30 cm, each alone.Where the fruit and oil yield / fed, significantly increased by sowing plants at both sides of the ridge and narrow space of 20 cm, each alone.Essential oil percentage was not affected by sowing method or spacing.The micronutrients (Mixture of Zn, Mn and Fe) increased the growth, fruit and oil yield and essential oil percentage, but seed coating exerts more beneficial effects compared to folair method.The interaction between sowing methods and spacing significantly increased vegetative growth and fruit and oil yield / fed.Carvon was the major constituent of the essential oil forming more than 75%, carvon and limonene slightly decreased by micronutrients application.The best treatment for fruit (seed) and oil yield was that of coating seed with a mixture of Zn, Mn and Fe and spacing it at 20 cm in both sides of the ridge.
A review of Campylobacter pylori in upper gastrointestinal disease.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The organism Campylobacter pylori is frequently found in association with gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Whether it is the cause, a contributory factor or a simple commensal is not known but there is evidence to support a pathological role. Current research may alter our understanding of the causes of upper gastrointestinal disease and have important implications for treatment.
SCI recidivism and nursing home placement: an interdisciplinary approach.

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

Satisfactory placement of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients in community nursing homes presents a challenge for interdisciplinary team members and caregivers. Problems of recidivism exist. There is limited information about the presenting signs/symptoms of these patients in nursing homes or the economic impact of their frequent reentries into hospitals. To identify factors related to recidivism, nurses at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital analyzed the demographic and clinical characteristics of readmissions from nursing homes to SCI units for two years. Analysis of risk factors aided in the identification of situations that predisposed patients to recidivism and served as a basis for program development. A Community Nursing Home Enrichment Program (CNHEP) was designed utilizing the interdisciplinary team. The CNHEP consisted of pre- and post-placement interventions designed to 1) prepare the veteran for a change in life style, 2) decrease frequency of rehospitalization and 3) improve placement outcomes.
Music, Sound and Space: Transformations Of Public And Private Experience

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Music, Sound and Space is the first collection to integrate research from musicology and sound studies on music and sound as they mediate everyday life. Music and sound exert an inescapable influence on the contemporary world, from the ubiquity of MP3 players to the controversial use of sound as an instrument of torture. In this book, leading scholars explore the spatialisation of music and sound, their capacity to engender modes of publicness and privacy, their constitution of subjectivity, and the politics of sound and space. Chapters discuss music and sound in relation to distinctive genres, technologies and settings, including sound installation art, popular music recordings, offices and hospitals, and music therapy. With international examples, from the Islamic soundscape of the Kenyan coast, to religious music in Europe, to First Nation musical sociability in Canada, this book offers a new global perspective on how music and sound and their spatialising capacities transform the nature of public and private experience
A BIM Integrated Hazardous Zone Registration Using Image Stitching

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A BIM Integrated Hazardous Zone Registration Using Image Stitching Si Tran, Truong Linh Nguyen and Chansik Park Pages 176-181 (2021 Proceedings of the 38th ISARC, Dubai, UAE, ISBN 978-952-69524-1-3, ISSN 2413-5844) Abstract: Identifying hazardous zones is one of the priorities and duties of construction safety monitoring. With the emergence of vision intelligence technology, hazardous zones detected by AI algorithms can support safety managers in predicting potential hazards as well as making decisions. However, the risky area in images/videos continues to suffer from numerous issues as undetected or low accuracy. Further, there are many kinds of hazardous zones that need to be trained for computer vision. This study aims to develop a BIM integrated application of hazardous zone registration for the construction stage, which is represented as construction objects using image stitching. The methodology consists of two stages: (1) during the pre-construction stage, BIM-based safety planning extracts the virtual image with the danger region; and (2) during the construction stage, the hazardous zone may be recorded in the site image using a stitching algorithm. A proposed method has been validated by visualizing hazardous zones from the actual images of the ringlock scaffold systems installed at the ConTIL laboratory. As a result, the BIM integrated application is anticipated to assist vision intelligent warning systems in proactively predefining hazardous zones, ultimately reducing repeated accidents associated with other entities entering dangerous areas.

Overcoming limitations of nanomechanical resonators with simultaneous resonances

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Dynamic stabilization by simultaneous primary and superharmonic resonances for high order nonlinearity cancellation is demonstrated with an electrostatically actuated, piezoresistively transduced nanomechanical resonator. We prove experimentally how the combination of both the third-order nonlinearity cancellation and simultaneous resonances can be used to linearly drive a nanocantilever up to very large amplitudes compared to fundamental limits like pull-in occurrence, opening the way towards resonators with high frequency stability for high-performance sensing or time reference.

Graphenoxide Cross-Linker Based Potentiometric Biosensor Design for Sarcosine Determination

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Background: Sarcosine, also known as N-methyl glycine, is a natural amino acid that is an intermediate and by product in glycine synthesis and degradation. Recently found in many peptides, sarcosine has been researched as a newly accepted prostate cancer marker. The increased concentration of sarcosine in blood serum and the urine showed that malignancy of measured prostate cancer cells is active. Objective: In this article, we aimed to design a potentiometric biosensor for detection of sarcosine with a low detection limit, high selectivity, short response time, wide linear range, and satisfactory long-term stability. Methods: In this article, we developed a new Graphene oxide (GFOX) photosensitive cross-linker based potentiometric biosensor based on the AmiNoAcid (monomer) Decorated and Light Underpinning Conjugation Approach (ANADOLUCA) method. The functional groups determined using Raman, FT-IR, XPS analyzes, and surface characterization, the morphology of synthesized GFOX photosensitive cross-linker were determined by TEM and AFM studies. Then, the performance of the GFOX based potentiometric biosensor has been evaluated. Results: When the usage of the developed GFOX doped potentiometric biosensor against sarcosine determination, it was found that 10 -4 mM sarcosine was determined in 60 seconds in the solution. In addition, the detection limit of the GFOX doped potentiometric biosensor was found to be 9.45x10 -7 mM, and the linear potentiometric biosensor was found to be in the concentration range of 10 -1 to 10 -5 mM. The selectivity studies of the developed potentiometric biosensor were investigated using glycine solutions, and it was determined that GFOX doped potentiometric biosensor was more selective against sarcosine. Besides this, a reusability test using 10-3 mM sarcosine solution showed that reproducible studies were performed without the loss of potential of designed potentiometric biosensor and no loss of sensitivity. Conclusion: After applying the framework, we get a new potentiometric biosensor for sarcosine determination. GFOX photosensitive cross-linker was used in designing potentiometric biosensors, and this increased the stability and efficiency of the biosensor. Therefore, the developed potentiometric biosensor for sarcosine determination could be easily used for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer.
1145 Health-related quality of life after adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer: a comparaison between two radiation schedules

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction/Background

Hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) carried out in 15 daily fractions, is currently the standard for breast cancer. Following the results of the Fast-Foward trial, the number of fractions could be reduced to five in selected patients. The aim of the study was to compare quality of life (QoL) among breast cancer patients undergoing HFRT versus ultrahypofractionated RT (UHFRT).

Methodology

One hundred patients treated with adjuvant RT to the breast or the chest wall, were included. Fifty patients received HFRT 40Gy/15fractions/3weeks + a boost of 13.35 Gy in 5 fractions and fifty patients received UHFRT 26Gy/5fractions/1 week + a boost of 10Gy in 5 fractions. After a median follow up of 8 months, QoL was assessed using the EORTC QoL questionnaire (QLQ-C30) complemented by the breast cancer specific module (QLQBR23).

Results

The median age of our patients was 63 years.. The average global health status was 63,17 for patients treated with UHFRT and 67 for patients treated with HPRT. (p=0,7). Patients treated with the two radiation schedules had positive body image; 95,1 in UHFRT group and 93,1 in HFRT group (p=0,5). The perspective scores in UHFRT and HFRT groups were respectively 81,9 and 97,3 (p=0,5). The scores of sexual functioning in UHFRT and HFRT groups was respectively 83,6 vs 74,3 (p=0.05). The scores relative to breast and arms symptoms in UHFRT and HFRT groups were respectively 11,2 vs 10,8 (p=0,7) and 10,2 vs 10,8 (p=0,9).

Conclusion

QoL scores in UHFRT for breast cancer were comparable to moderate HFRT. Patients in both groups had positive body image. Patients in UHFRT group showed less deterioration of sexual functioning (p=0,05). Our results support the benefits of UHFRT and recommend its wider use in eligible women, especially in a context of shortage of RT units.

Improve the Design and Implementation of Metrics From the Perspective of Complexity Science Comment on "Gaming New Zealand’s Emergency Department Target: How and Why Did It Vary Over Time and Between Organisations?"

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

From the perspective of complexity science, this commentary addresses Tenbensel and colleagues’ study, which reveals varied gaming behaviours to meet the New Zealand Emergency Department (ED) metric. Seven complexityinformed principles previously published in this Journal are applied to formulate recommendations to improve the design and implementation of metrics. (1) Acknowledge unpredictability. When designing a metric, policy-makers need to leave room for flexibility to account for unforeseen situations. When implementing a metric, they need to promote sense-making of relevant stakeholders. (2) Sense-making shall be encouraged because it is a social process to understand a metric, align values and develop a coherent strategy. Sense-making is important to (3) cope with self-organised gaming behaviours and to (4) facilitate interdependencies between ED and other departments as well as organisations. (5) We also need to attend to the relationship between senior management and frontline staff. Additionally, to address one of the methodological weaknesses in Tenbensel and colleagues’ study, (6) adaptive research approach is needed to better answer emerging questions. (7) Conflict should be harnessed productively. I hope these recommendations could limit gaming in future metrics and encourage stakeholders to view inevitable gaming as an improvement opportunity.

Vitamin D Supplementation During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer Improves Pathological Complete Response: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Introduction Achieving a pCR serves as a biomarker indicating enhanced overall survival for breast cancer patients undergoing NST. Vitamin D enhances the antitumor effect of chemotherapeutics as demonstrated in cancer cells and animal models. In this prospective randomized clinical study, we aim to investigate the effect of oral vitamin D supplementation during neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) on pathologic complete response (pCR). Methods Between June 2019 and June 2023, an oral form of 50,000 IU vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) replacement was administered once a week during NST for the study group. Results There were 114 (50.2%) cases in the study group and 113 (49.8%) in the control group (totally 227 cases). Factors that positively influenced pCR were higher clinical T stage, higher AJCC clinical stage, Estrogen receptor negativity, progesterone receptor negativity, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positivity, high Ki‐67 expression (≥ 20%), hormone negative molecular subtypes, and vitamin D intake in univariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis, factors significantly affecting pCR were vitamin D intake (OR: 2.33, 95% CI 1.20–4.53; p = 0.013), hormone receptor negativity (OR: 2.22, 95% CI 1.11–4.43; p = 0.024), and Ki‐67 ≥ 20% (OR: 3.27, 95% CI 1.03–10.34; p = 0.044). Conclusions This is the first and only study to compare the effect of oral vitamin D supplementation on pCR during NST. Vitamin D supplementation during NST has a significant effect on pCR in breast cancer patients. Although this effect is not significant for axillary pCR, there is an almost significant correlation.

Hindi/Bengali Sentiment Analysis using Transfer Learning and Joint Dual Input Learning with Self Attention

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Sentiment Analysis typically refers to using natural language processing, text analysis, and computational linguistics to extract effect and emotion-based information from text data. Our work explores how we can effectively use deep neural networks in transfer learning and joint dual input learning settings to effectively classify sentiments and detect hate speech in Hindi and Bengali data. We start by training Word2Vec word embeddings for Hindi HASOC dataset and Bengali hate speech [24] and then train LSTM and subsequently, employ parameter sharing based transfer learning to Bengali sentiment classifiers by reusing and fine-tuning the trained weights of Hindi classifiers with both classifiers being used as the baseline in our study. Finally, we use BiLSTM with self-attention in a joint dual input learning setting where we train a single neural network on the Hindi and Bengali datasets simultaneously using their respective embeddings.
Effect of climate change of the quality of Citrus fruit produced in South Africa

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Climate change is an observed reality with a significant impact globally. South Africa is not immune to this phenomenon. Like the rest of the world, South Africa experiences rise in mean air temperature and changes in rainfall trends. Since plant systems are influenced by weather, it is expected that climate change will have an effect on the production and quality of fruit. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of climate change on the quality of citrus fruit produced in South Africa. In conducting the study, historical fruit quality data was collected from packhouses in the Eastern and Western Cape provinces of South Africa over a period of 12 and 8 years respectively. Trend analysis was done on the data to determine whether there is a trend that can be observed over the period of data collection. The total soluble solids of fruit showed a marginal increase over the period of observation. Titratable acidity showed a marginal decrease. The incidence of sunburn on fruit seemed to increase over time. Other disorders like decay, creasing and oleocellosis did not show a definite trend of increasing or decreasing over time. Rind disorders seemed to decrease during the period of observation. This report discusses how the observed trends were influenced by changes in rainfall and temperature over the period of observation. It is then concluded that in this case study, the impact of climate change was not very profound and it had both negative and positive effects. The current results point toward a bleak future for citrus producers. To remain profitable, it may be necessary for producers to invest in climate change adaptation technologies. Key words: Climate change, citrus fruit, fruit quality, oleocellosis, titratable acidity
Quasiperiodic shrimp-shaped domains in intrinsically coupled oscillators

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We report remarkable pattern formation of quasiperiodic domains in the two-dimensional parameter space of an intrinsically coupled system, comprising a rotor and a Duffing oscillator. In our analysis, we characterize the system using Lyapunov exponents, identifying self-similar islands composed of intricate regions of chaotic, quasiperiodic, and periodic behaviors. These islands form structures with an accumulation arrangement, denominated here as metamorphic tongues. Inside the islands, we observe Arnold tongues corresponding to periodic solutions. In addition, we surprisingly identify quasiperiodic shrimp-shaped domains that have been typically observed for periodic solutions. Similar features to the periodic case, such as period-doubling and secondary-near shrimp with three times the period, are observed in quasiperiodic shrimp as torus-doubling and torus-tripling.
