Effect of Boron and Zinc Application on Nutrient Uptake in Guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Pant Prabhat Leaves

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

An experiment was conducted to assess the influence of boron and zinc application on the nutrient status of guava cv. Pant Prabhat under tarai conditions at the foothills of the Himalayas. Boron and zinc were applied as foliar spray at four different concentrations viz. ZnSO4 @ 0% (control), 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.0% and H3BO3 @ 0% (control), 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.0%, respectively alone and in combinations. During both the years in the month of October, leaf N content was affected significantly. The maximum leaf N contents (2.38 % and 2.18 %) were recorded with the application of ZnSO4 (1.0%) + H3BO3 (1.0%). However, zinc and boron spray had non-significant effect on leaf P and K content in the month of July and October, respectively during both the years. Leaf zinc content increased significantly after the foliar application of various concentrations of ZnSO4. Maximum leaf zinc content (161.08 and 161.95 ppm) was obtained with ZnSO4 (1.0%) and ZnSO4 (1.0%) + H3BO3 (1%) spray, respectively in July (after spray). After rainy season crop, maximum leaf zinc content (143.19 and 144.43 ppm) was observed with 1.0% ZnSO4 spray. While, after winter season crop, various concentrations of zinc and boron had non-significant on zinc content. However, various concentrations of zinc positively influenced the leaf zinc content with higher concentrations of zinc and boron. However, after winter season crop, non-significant differences were recorded. Boron content increased significantly with the increase in boron concentration during both the years of investigation but the interaction was non-significant. Maximum boron content (116.85 and 118.35 ppm) was observed after ZnSO4 (0.75%) + H3BO3 (1.0%) foliar spray. However, after harvesting of rainy season crop, boron content of leaves differed significantly with various levels of boron concentration. The maximum boron content (107.32 ppm) was observed in ZnSO4 (1.0%) + H3BO3 (1.0%). These findings indicated that ZnSO4 (1.0%) + H3BO3 (1.0%) significantly influenced the N, Zn and B concentrations in the leaves of guava cv. Pant Prabhat. However, zinc and boron spray at various concentrations had non-significant effect on leaf P and K content.

Laser‐Triggered Interfacial Generation of ROS Promotes a Rapid Fabrication of Polydopamine Coating

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Mussel‐inspired polydopamine (PDA) coating has been proved to be a universal surface modification strategy with remarkable versatility and active post‐modification ability. However, the traditional preparation of PDA coating shows low polymerization efficiency and alkaline environment dependency. Herein, a robust method to accelerate the in situ generation of PDA coating based on a photosensitizer entrapped substrate is reported. It is demonstrated that the chlorin e6 (Ce6)‐incorporated substrates induce sustained reactive oxygen species (ROS) production via laser irradiation at 660 nm, which dramatically promotes the preparation of PDA coating even in acidic conditions. The thickness of the PDA coating reaches over 4 nm with only 10 min irradiation (pH 6). Patterned PDA coatings can also be achieved by using a photomask. The functionality of this interfacial ROS‐induced PDA coating including photothermal ability and secondary modification ability is also verified. The obtained PDA coating realizes the reduction of Ag + to Ag NPs, which shows excellent antibacterial ability. This interfacial ROS generation strategy offers a facile and efficient way to construct the PDA coating and expands the potential applications in the biomedical field.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: Item analysis of the single best answer question based assessment is a simple and valuable method that can help the examiners to check the reliability and validity of this examination tool. This study aimed to determine difficulty index and discrimination index of single best answer question (SBAQ) based send-up Physiology paper of 1st Prof MBBS, and to check sensitivity and specificity of SBAQs to predict undergraduate medical students’ performance. Methods: This was an observational study. A retrospective review of undergraduates’ examination performance was done after approval from Institutional Review Board. Theory paper consisted of 45 SBAQs. Each SBAQ comprised a stem followed by five options. One option was correct and rest four were distractors. Data was analysed on SPSS-22. Difficulty and discriminative index was calculated. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was generated. The sensitivity and specificity of SBAQ was determined. Results: Out of 45 items, 33 (73%) were having difficulty index within the acceptable range (30–70%), 3 (6.7%) were very easy with the difficulty index of more than 70%, and 9 (20%) very difficult with the index of less than 30%. Mean±SD difficulty index was 47.45±17.83. Discrimination index revealed 33 items within acceptable range, 10 were poor and 2 items revealed negative scoring. Mean±SD discrimination index was 0.30±0.19. ROC curve revealed AUC of 0.86 (p=0.000; CI= 0.803-0.90) with sensitivity of 84% and specificity of 89%. Conclusion: Mean difficulty index of send-up paper was within acceptable limits. However, discrimination index identified 12 items that need revision. Pak J Physiol 2022;18(3):44?7
RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CONCEPT OF MAḤRAM IN WOMEN’S SAFAR BASED ON IBNU QAYYIM AL-JAUZIYYAH’S LEGAL CHANGE THEORY

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper aims to analyze the legal thought about the prohibition of women traveling without maḥram and attempt to reinterpret the Prophet's hadith regarding the prohibition through contextualization and reconstruction. The theory of legal change by Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah was chosen in this paper to explain the characteristics of the Islamic law that can change and accept change. The universal message contained in the hadith cannot be ignored by simply sticking to the text. The hadith regarding the prohibition of traveling for women without a maḥram has a very different context from the present context. This can be proven by the aspects that become factors of legal change according to Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah including time (azminah), place (amkinah), condition (ahwāl), intention/motivation (niyāt), and tradition (‘awāid). Based on these aspects, it can be understood that the urgency of the maḥram in women's journey is intended as a guarantee of security from the dangers that were very likely to be experienced women at that time. In contrast to the present context, which has experienced rapid development in the fields of technology, information, transportation, which provide more access, comfort, and security. Efforts to protect women have been legitimized through existing legal norms.
PENGANGKATAN SEKRETARIS DESA MENJADI PEGAWAI NEGERI SIPIL DALAM PERSPEKTIF PERATURAN PEMERINTAH NOMOR 78 TAHUN 2013

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Since the enactment of the Act Number 32 of the Year 2004 regarding Regional Government, especially after the enactment of the Government Regulation Number 48 of the Year 2005 regarding the Appointment of the Honorary Employees to become the candidates of civil servants, the implementation of village administration began to be problematic. This problem is caused by the demands of the Village Head and Village Secretary for equal rights to be equalized with the Civil Servants. This demand implicates the birth of the Government Regulation Number 45 of the Year 2007 on the Requirements and Procedures for the Appointment of a Village Secretary to be a Civil Servant, and theoretically this regulation contradicts the Government Regulation Number 78 of the Year 2013 on the Second Amendment of the Government Regulation Number 98 of the Year 2000 on the Procurement of Civil Servants. Based on the background of this study, the problems are formulated as follows: 1) What is the ratio legis of the appointment of the Village Secretary to be a civil servant in the perspective of the Government Regulation Number 78 of the Year 2013, and 2) What is the reason of the appointment of the Village Secretary to be a civil servant? The formulation of this problem aims to analyze and to find the ratio of legis and the ratio decidendi of the appointment ofÂ the Village Secretary to be a Civil Servant in the perspective of the Government Regulation Number 78 of the Year 2013. Problem analysis of this study indicates that the ratio legis of the appointment of the Village Secretary to be a civil servant is based on the reason that government has an authority to appoint a civil servant, while the reason of the appointment of the Village Secretary to become a civil servant is that it is in accordance with justice principle and legal certainty, that is to satisfy the sense of justice in the society. In order not to cause multiple interpretations, the appointment of civil servants in all sectors should be based on common ground regulation, and the Secretary of the Village should indeed be appointed from the element of civil servants.
Selective serotonine reuptake inhibitors or dual antidepressants and syndrome of inapropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion: A systematic search

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Introduction Depression is a disease with high prevalence all over the world. Selective serotonine reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and dual antidepressants (DA) are worldwide used to treat the different types of depressive episodes. Between the adverse events of these compounds, an unusual but potentially severe side effect is the syndrome of inapropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). Results and discussion Several cases published, and an amount of cases series have documented the association of SIADH to the use of SSRIs and DA. All SSRIs and DA are at risk of producing SIADH (fluoxetine, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram, venlafaxine and duloxetine). Old age has been found as a risk factor for developing SIADH. There are not enough data to conclude that other risk factors can play a role in the development of this adverse event. Treatment should include the immediate withdrawal of the antidepressant. The introduction of other antidepressants is controversial, as SIADH has been related with all antidepressive treatments; but the risk of relapse into a depressive episode must be considered also. Between symptomatic treatments, the control of water intake and the use of low doses of loop diuretics can be recommended. Severe cases can be treated with higher doses of loop diuretics and saline hypertonic solution. Conclusions SIADH has been related with SSRIs and DA antidepressants and it is an infrequent but severe adverse event. Its risk must be considered when prescribing treatment with them. If this adverse event is produced, the substitution of the antidepressant should be done. Disclosure of interest The authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Raising 6th Grade Primary School Students’ Awareness about Children’s Rights via a Creative Storytelling Teaching Plan

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Education for the Right to Education is developed in formal and non-formal education, with successful pedagogical methodologies for Primary Education. Creative Storytelling supports students to externalize and communicate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through their own stories and actively participate through empathy, freeing them from a real, stressful action environment. The proposition can contribute to students’ cognitive skills acquisition, critical thinking and metacognition as individuals and as members of social groups. The mixed research methodology of the case study depicted that raising awareness was successful. However, the research as a case study and the number of students is not enough so more research is needed for the generalizability and validity of these results.
Explaining the Emergence of Indigenous–Local Intergovernmental Relations in Settler Societies

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

There has been growing interest among practitioners and academics in the emergence of intergovernmental relations between local and Aboriginal governments in Canada. Initial research has focused on describing the nature of these relations but has yet to develop any theoretical expectations regarding why some communities are more likely to cooperate than others. We address this lacuna by developing a theoretical framework for explaining the emergence of cooperation between Aboriginal and local governments. After identifying a set of variables and specifying how they are likely to affect the propensity of communities to cooperate, we conclude with a discussion of how future researchers might use this framework to investigate cooperation and noncooperation between Aboriginal and local governments in Canada and in other settler societies.
The Feasibility of Selective High-Risk Area Irradiation for Supraglottic Laryngeal Carcinoma With Positive Lymph Nodes Only in Areas II and IIIThe&nbsp;Feasibility of Selective High-Risk Area Irradiation for Supraglottic Laryngeal Carcinoma With Positive Lymph Nodes Only in Areas II and III

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract ObjectiveTo study the prognosis of patients with positive lymph nodes in area II and III after supraglottic laryngocarcinoma surgery and to evaluate the feasibility of selective irradiation of a high-risk area. MethodsFrom February 2010 to March 2015, the complete clinical data for 181 patients treated for supraglottic laryngeal cancer at the Radiotherapy Department of the Second Hospital of Jilin University were analysed retrospectively. Among them, 100 patients were treated with whole neck prophylactic irradiation and 81 patients were treated with selective high-risk irradiation; i.e., lymph drainage of areas II and III. ResultsThe median follow-up time was 38.5 months; the 5-year OS, PFS, and NFS were 67.9%,58.1%,64.6% respectively. Among them, there were 6 cases of lymph node recurrence, 4 cases of local recurrence, 8 cases of distant metastasis and 58 deaths. However, there was no significant difference in recurrence between the selective high-risk radiation group and the total neck prophylactic radiation group. The OS, PFS and NFS of the two groups were 67.9% vs. 68%, 58.02% and 58%, and 62.9% and 66%, respectively, and the P values were 0.9161, 0.8916 and 0.7333,respectively. For late toxicity resulting from radiotherapy, the incidence of cervical fibrosis (2.47% vs. 10%, P = 0.043) and the incidence of throat mucosa injury (6.17% vs. 24%, P = 0.001) in patients in the selective high-risk area irradiation group were reduced. ConclusionThe preliminary data show that selective high-risk area irradiation is safe and feasible for patients with supraglottic laryngeal cancer accompanied by positive lymph nodes only in areas II and III, and the treatment can reduce the long-term adverse reactions and improve the quality of life. However, more evidence is needed.
Mechanically tunable Bragg filters for terahertz applications

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Mechanically tunable Bragg filters at terahertz frequencies are designed, fabricated by a simple procedure, and characterized via THz time-domain spectroscopy. The Bragg reflectors are composed by stacking thin cyclo-olefin Zeonor polymer layers, which are separated by spacers made of a bi-adhesive tape. The defect cavity is void and its thickness is mechanically tuned by means of a translation stage. The filters show high transmittance and quality factors, owing to the selected very low-loss polymer.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The genus Chudania was established by Distant in 1908, and revised by Zhang and Yang (Zhang Yalin, 1990). Up to now, there are 10 known species in the genus. One new species from Tibet is reported in the present paper. The holotype is deposited in the Insect Collection of the Entomological Museum, Northwestern Agricultural University (Shaanxi), and the paratype is kept in the Insect Collection of the Department of Plant Protection, Beijing Agricultural University.Chudania tibeta, sp. n.It is very similar to Chudania kunmingana Zhang et Yang, but its colour pattern and male genitalia is different from the latter. Its clavus of forewing is dark brown but the outer basal half of clavus with yellowish, subtriangular area. The clavus of forewing of the later is dark brwon without yellowish patch. Its paired appendages near middle of the aedeagus are slightly curved, extend basad and there are many small teeth on it, but that of the latter are straight, extend latterad, and there is no teeth on it. The pygofer appendages of both species are also different.

Emergence of neoplastic transformants spontaneously or after exposure to N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in populations of rat liver epithelial cells cultured under selective and nonselective conditions.

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

Many studies have shown that cultured rat liver epithelial cells can be neoplastically transformed by repeated or long-continued exposure to chemical carcinogens. These cells also may transform spontaneously in the absence of carcinogen treatment after long-term, continuous passage in culture or after chronic maintenance in a confluent state in vitro. In this study, we have compared the times of emergence and rates of accumulation of transformed cells in populations of rat hepatic epithelial cells exposed either to a single dose of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG, 3 micrograms/ml culture medium for 30 minutes) or to acetone vehicle alone (3 microliters/ml culture medium for 30 minutes). Transformation was compared in cell populations that were passaged continuously once a week as they attained a confluent density (nonselective growth conditions), or that were maintained at a confluent density for 3 weeks between passages once a month (selective growth conditions). Emergence of both spontaneous transformants and transformants induced by MNNG was facilitated by selective growth conditions, as compared with non-selective growth conditions. Transformants were detected both in cultures exposed to MNNG and in cultures exposed only to acetone (solvent controls), but they always emerged earlier in cultures exposed to MNNG (nine population doublings earlier when grown under selective growth conditions and 22 population doublings earlier when grown under nonselective growth conditions). Once transformants were detected, they replaced the nontransformed population more quickly under selective than under nonselective conditions of culture. Cells possessing the ability to grow in soft agar and to produce tumors in syngeneic rats were detected (at about 12 population doublings after treatment) under selective conditions much earlier than under nonselective growth conditions (at about 90 population doublings after treatment). Among MNNG-treated cultures, the fraction of aneuploid cells in the population was correlated significantly with tumorigenicity. In contrast, among acetone-treated control populations, aneuploidy and tumorigenicity were not correlated; populations of aneuploid acetone-treated cells often were not tumorigenic. These observations suggest that MNNG treatment produced a specific type of aneuploidy that was associated with tumorigenicity.
