Peronosclerospora neglecta sp. nov.—a widespread and overlooked threat to corn (maize) production in the tropics

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Downy mildew is a serious threat to corn (maize) production in the tropics and subtropics. Corn is native to Central America, and was introduced into South-East Asia by the Spanish colonisers in the 1700s. Corn is evolutionarily naïve to downy mildews of the genus Peronosclerospora . Consequently, corn monocultures are particularly susceptible to a variety of Peronosclerospora species, which spread to the crop from local grasses. Globally, corn is one of the most important crops for both humans and livestock. Several downy mildews of corn have been identified as potential threats to global food security, and trade with corn seeds is strictly regulated to avoid spreading the pathogens. Despite their importance, little is known about the biodiversity of graminicolous downy mildews, because their identification has often relied on variable morphological features, such as conidial dimensions. DNA barcodes for most species have become available only recently. During surveys for downy mildews on corn in Indonesia, a previously unrecognised species of Peronosclerospora was found and investigated using a combination of morphological characters and molecular phylogenetic analyses. The new species, introduced here as Peronosclerospora neglecta , is widely distributed in South-East Asia from Thailand to eastern Indonesia. The impact of this downy mildew can be severe, with complete crop losses in heavily affected fields. Given the aggressiveness of the species, close surveillance is warranted to restrict its further spread.
Studies on Human Clot Retraction

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Dialysis of platelet homogenates removes material needed for clot retraction. Platelet homogenates, platelet dialysate and serotonin possess clot retraction potentialities. Plasma also contains material concerned with clot retraction and, when it is adsorbed with barium carbonate, it loses clot retraction activity. This activity, which is adsorbed on barium carbonate, can be eluted with dilute sodium citrate solutions. The adsorbed factor(s) is believed to be a protein. Thus, a plasma protein and dialyzable platelet substance(s), which includes serotonin, are concerned with clot retraction. Even in low concentration, glycerol interferes with clot retraction, and clots that do not retract are invariably transparent. Submitted on August 6, 1956

One of our main concerns is to find indecomposable quasi-Buchsbaum modules of high rank with prescribed cohomology over a regular local ring.
Thrombocytosis in Children: Clinical and Heamatological Study in Pediatric Department, Sohag University Hospital

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Thrombocythemia (ET) is defined as elevation in the platelets count more than 400,000/ µ L in peripheral smear.It is common in infant and children that occurs in 3 to 13% of children.Thrombocytosis is classified into primary/clonal or secondary according to the pathological origin.Objective: To determine incidence, causes and types of thrombocytosis in children also the correlations between the severity of thrombocytosis and the etiology and platelets indices.Patients and methods: Prospective, observational study was done in Pediatric Department and Pediatric Out-Patient Clinic, Sohag University Hospital.A total of 117 cases of thrombocytosis were included in this study.All children had thrombocytosis and aged from one month to twelve years old.Results: Reactive thrombocytosis was observed in 114 cases (97.44%), while primary type was found only in 3 cases (2.56%), 2 of them had chronic myelogenouse leukemia and one case is diagnosed as essential thrombocytosis.Majority of children (96 cases) in our study patients had mild thrombocytosis (82.05%) while moderate thrombocytosis was found in 16 cases and severe thrombocytosis were seen in 5 cases with 13.67% and 4.27% of children respectively.The correlation between platelet number and the mean platelet volume (MPV) showed significant negative correlation (p < 0.001), while the correlation between the platelet number and plateletcrit (PCT) showed significant positive correlation (p < 0.001) but platelet distribution width (PDW) had no correlation with platelet number (P= 0.7).Conclusion: Among our study platelet indices, the MPV had a significant negative correlation with platelet count and MPV was considered normal in patients with reactive thrombocytosis.
QUR'A¯N AND THE VEIL: CONTEXTS AND INTERPRETATIONS OF THE REVELATION

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Though veiling by Muslim women has been discussed from many angles and with various methodologies, the very basis of the discussion – the relationship between the Qur'a¯n and the veil – still remains unclear. This paper returns to this basis, focusing on three relevant passages from the Qur'a¯n (33:59, 33:53, 24:31). An analysis of the first two of these passages in association with a number of prophetic traditions [hadi¯th] shows clearly that one of the main purposes of veiling in early Islamic society was to distinguish, and secure the safety or status of, privileged women. Problematic is Verse 24:31, which contains another reason for veiling in Islam: to cover women's beauty. Because of the ambiguity of the words contained in this passage, and the absence of any solid hadi¯th concerning it, ample room for interpretation was provided for later religious authorities. The extent of covering changed over time and so did the grounds for argument. By following major exegetic texts [tafsi¯r] on this verse from the ninth to the fourteenth centuries, this paper shows the relationship between the Qur'a¯n, hadi¯th, tafsi¯r, and the veil.
The Prototype of Hand Gesture Recognition for Elderly People to Control Connected Home Devices

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Nowadays, the technology development makes a human can create a tool which is used to recognize an object and it becomes a popular technology device. It happens because this tool has an important role for interaction between a human and a computer. One example of this technology usage is to recognize a hand gesture for controlling a home automation system. The existing of this technology creates the change related to how the human controls any tools in a house and it also reduces the complexity including an effort when it is used for controlling. This feature is very useful, especially for elderly people who stay in independent living. This study is going to develop a controller prototype by using FAST (Features from Accelerated Segment Test) algorithm to detect hand gesture for operating the connected home devices. This controller uses an embedded system to translate a command which is created by using the hand gesture of senior captured by the cam for controlling the lamps. The lamps itself are represented as several tools in the house. The observation gives a result that the hand gesture is potential to be implemented as a command for controlling the proposed system prototype in the range which is not far than 1 meter with the percentage average recognition accuracy is almost 80%.

Magnocellular Channel Subserves the Human Contrast-Sensitivity Function

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

There is evidence that the human contrast-sensitivity function (CSF) is mediated by the spatiotemporal characteristics of magno and parvo neurons early in the visual pathway. In this study we use a measure of contrast gain derived from simple reaction times, to investigate the neural substrates of suprathreshold performance. The results reveal the activity of two mechanisms having distinctly different contrast-gain characteristics. Comparing these to neurophysiological data, we find that the magnocellular system dominates close-to-threshold detection and probably forms the basis of the achromatic CSF, whereas the parvocellular system dominates detection at higher contrasts, when the magnocellular system saturates.

Neurotoxic and pharmacokinetic responses to trichloroethylene as a function of exposure scenario.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Strategies are needed for assessing the risks of exposures to airborne toxicants that vary over concentrations and durations. The goal of this project was to describe the relationship between the concentration and duration of exposure to inhaled trichloroethylene (TCE), a representative volatile organic chemical, tissue dose as predicted by a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model, and neurotoxicity. Three measures of neurotoxicity were studied: hearing loss, signal detection behavior, and visual function. The null hypothesis was that exposure scenarios having an equivalent product of concentration and duration would produce equal toxic effects, according to the classic linear form of Haber's Rule ((italic)C(/italic) times t = k), where C represents the concentration, t, the time (duration) of exposure, and k, a constant toxic effect. All experiments used adult male, Long-Evans rats. Acute and repeated exposure to TCE increased hearing thresholds, and acute exposure to TCE impaired signal detection behavior and visual function. Examination of all three measures of neurotoxicity showed that if Haber's Rule were used to predict outcomes across exposure durations, the risk would be overestimated when extrapolating from shorter to longer duration exposures, and underestimated when extrapolating from longer to shorter duration exposures. For the acute effects of TCE on behavior and visual function, the estimated concentration of TCE in blood at the time of testing correlated well with outcomes, whereas cumulative exposure, measured as the area under the blood TCE concentration curve, did not. We conclude that models incorporating dosimetry can account for differing exposure scenarios and will therefore improve risk assessments over models considering only parameters of external exposure.

Functions of Yeast Hsp40 Chaperone Sis1p Dispensable for Prion Propagation but Important for Prion Curing and Protection From Prion Toxicity

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Replication of amyloid-based yeast prions [PSI+], [URE3], and [PIN+] depends on the protein disaggregation machinery that includes Hsp104, Hsp70, and Hsp40 molecular chaperones. Yet, overexpressing Hsp104 cures cells of [PSI+] prions. An Hsp70 mutant (Ssa1-21p) antagonizes propagation of [PSI+] in a manner resembling elevated Hsp104. The major cytosolic Hsp40 Sis1p is the only Hsp40 required for replication of these prions, but its role in [PSI+] curing is unknown. Here we find that all nonessential functional regions of Sis1p are dispensable for [PSI+] propagation, suggesting that other Hsp40’s might provide Hsp40 functions required for [PSI+] replication. Conversely, several Sis1p functions were important for promoting antiprion effects of both Ssa1-21p and Hsp104, which implies a link between the antiprion effects of these chaperones and suggests that Sis1p is a specific Hsp40 important for [PSI+] curing. These contrasting findings suggest that the functions of Hsp104 that are important for propagation and elimination of [PSI+] are either distinct or specified by different Hsp40's. This work also uncovered a growth inhibition caused by [PSI+] when certain functions of Sis1p were absent, suggesting that Sis1p protects cells from cytotoxicity caused by [PSI+] prions.
[Achievement of a stringent complete response with low-dose pomalidomide monotherapy in a multiple myeloma patient].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

An 80-year-old man presented to our hospital with a thoracic vertebrae compression fracture. He was diagnosed with IgG-λ myeloma (International Staging System stage II, Durie-Salmon stage IIIA). Since melphalan-prednisolone (MP) was not effective, we treated him with lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone (DEX) (Ld), achieving a partial response. As DEX provoked edema and psychiatric symptoms, the patient disagreed with its use, and pomalidomide (POM) monotherapy was initiated. Although the POM dosage was reduced to 1-2 mg/day due to somnolence, which was reported as an adverse event, stringent complete response (sCR) was achieved and sustained for 10 months following 11 cycles of low-dose POM monotherapy. It is assumed that sCR was achieved with low-dose POM monotherapy due to its early introduction as well as there being no high-risk chromosomal abnormalities. Even though adverse events develop with a standard dose, a continuation of low-dose POM is considered more important than discontinuation.
EPV233/#102 Comparison of localized and intravenous analgesia treatment in women undergoing L.L.E.T.Z under general anesthesia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives

Conization is currently performed under general anesthesia with IV analgesia or without anastesia, with local analgesia injected to the cervix. Woelber & co compared the incidence and intensity of pain after conization under general/local anesthesia and found no significant differences. No study has compared the effect of analgesia administered via IV or local routh. This study aim to determin pain&bleeding rate when undergoing conization, depending on routh of analgesia.

Methods

A prospective blind-control study comparing 30 women undergoing cervical conization under general anastesia in our hospital between 2019–2020. 15 women (A) were administered intravenous analgesia, and 15 women (B) were administered local analgesia injection to cervix. Chi-Square test was used to find the group diffrences.

Results

From 30 patients recruited, 14 left in group A and 15 in group B. No demographics differences were found. Extra analgesia in the 24 hours post-Op was found in14.3%(A) and 28.6% (B) (p-value <0.05). Most reported no pain in the first hour after conization, with the pick of pain appearing 4–8 (A) and 8–12 (B) hours after conization. Amount of intra-op bleeding was <100 ml in 21.4% (A) and 80%(B) (p-value=0.003). Post-conization bleeding was <100ml in 42.9% (A) and 71.4% (B) with no statistical significancy. One patient from group B needed hemostasis intervention 3 weeks after conization.

Conclusions

Conization of the cervix under local analgesia is as effective in pain prevention as general analgetica and reduce the amount of bleeding during and possibly after the operation. More resurch is needed to conclude the preferred routh of analgesia.

Imaging of test quartz gratings with a photon scanning tunneling microscope Experiment and theory

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We use the differential formalism of the electromagnetic theory of gratings to interpret the images of test sinusoidal or lamellar quartz gratings obtained with a photon scanning tunneling microscope. The period of the grating is 0.5 μm, and the height of the rule is 0.2 μm. It is shown that the images depend strongly on several parameters, such as polarization or angle of incidence, with respect to the ruling direction. A systematic study of the isointensity lines above the gratings as a function of polarization is presented, and it is shown that the image contrast can be increased or decreased depending on the sample–probe distance. To model the interaction of the fiber probe with the electromagnetic field, we consider a second grating facing the grating under study, and by varying the periodicity of the second grating we calculate the intensity of the collected light and compare it with the experimental results.
Effectiveness of Teacher Performance in Maximizing Student's Expressive Writing in Science Learning at Sebatik Vocational School

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Adolescence is an important phase in individual development where massive changes occur, both physically and psychologically. Research shows that teenagers often have difficulty managing and expressing their emotions appropriately, which can impact their emotional and social well-being. This research aims to test the effectiveness of teacher performance in improving students' expressive writing skills in science learning at Sebatik Vocational School. The research method used is quantitative experimental research with a one group pretest-posttest design. Eight students who experienced difficulties in expressive writing skills were included in this study. Data was obtained through pretest and posttest conducted after providing teacher performance services. The results of the analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test showed that there was a significant increase in students' expressive writing abilities after being provided with teacher performance services. The calculated z value was -2.521>z table (1.96) at a significance level of α=0.05. Asymp probability value. Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.012<of α = 0.05, so the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Thus, the teacher's service performance in providing students' expressive writing skills at Sebatik Vocational School has proven to be effective in improving students' expressive writing abilities in science learning.
