Sustainable Agricultural Development

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Sustainable agricultural practices improve food security, increase farmers' profitability, and preserve the environment. By implementing sustainable farming methods such as crop rotation, integrated pest management, and conservation tillage, farmers can improve soil health, reduce water usage, and minimize agrochemical inputs. Moreover, sustainable agriculture promotes biodiversity and protects natural resources such as water and soil. Responsible farming practices preserve the environment and ensure that future generations access fertile land and clean water sources. Additionally, sustainable agriculture can help farmers achieve higher crop yields and better-quality produce, adapt to changing climate conditions, and mitigate the impact of climate change on food production. Sustainable agricultural practices are essential for ensuring food security, increasing farmers' profitability, and preserving the environment for future generations. We must continue to support and promote sustainable farming methods to create a more resilient and sustainable food system.

Moringa landraces of Pakistan are potential source of premium quality oil

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In Pakistan it is dire need to explore potential sources of vegetable oil with good quality. Therefore, seed yield and oil quality were explored in wild trees of Moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) from different locations of Punjab, Pakistan. Fifteen trees from each six locations {Rahimyar Khan (RYK), Faisalabad (FSD), Bahawalpur (BWP), Multan (MUL), Layyah (LAY) and Khanewal (KWL)} were selected. Data regarding different traits were taken for two years (2014 and 2015). Significant higher yield-related traits were observed at RYK contributing to maximum seed yield; 4.11 and 3.77 kg/tree during 2014 and 2015, respectively. Oil yield was also found maximum; 1.48 and 1.40 kg oil/tree during respective seasons in landrace of RYK. Oil-quality related traits (sterol, fatty-acid profile and oxidative-stability) were statistically similar in all landraces during both seasons. The physio-chemical characteristics were noted as: refractive index (1.4622–1.4631), saponification value (176–182 mg of KOH/g of soil), iodine value (67–71 g of I/100 g of soil) and free-fatty acids (0.41–0.49% oleic acid). Oleic-acid (ω–9) was dominant fatty acid contributing 70% to fatty-acid profile, on the other hand, polyunsaturated fatty-acids (linoleic and linolenic acid) were found in minor range (less than 1%). In sterol composition main fractions were of β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol and delta 5-avenasterol accounting to 96% of total sterols-composition while, β-sitosterol was found in high level (55%). Overall, landrace of RYK has been recognized as potential candidate for premium quality oil production for food and industrial use. Farmer can get more income by developing moringa orchards and health of local community can be improved by use of moringa oil as it is rich in health supportive fatty acids (ω–9) and sterols (β-sitosterol).
Conceptual Expansion Induced by Analogical Reasoning Sparks “Aha” Moments

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

An underexplored aspect of the relationship between analogical reasoning and creativity is its phenomenology; in particular, the notion that analogical reasoning is related to insight and its associated “aha!” experience. However, the relationship between these phenomena has never been directly investigated. We adapted a set of verbal analogy stimuli for use as an insight task. Across two experiments, participants reported stronger aha moments and greater representational change when reasoning about analogies with greater internal semantic distance, relative to those with greater internal semantic consistency. Aha strength increased linearly with changes in participants’ verbal descriptions of the analogy over the course of each trial, indicating that aha experiences accompany changes in mental representation. The relationship between subjective difficulty and aha strength followed an inverted U-shaped function, with aha strength increasing with greater difficulty but dropping at the highest levels. A similar pattern was observed for the relationship between confidence and aha strength. Furthermore, participants in a more positive mood rated aha experiences as stronger. These findings provide evidence that analogical reasoning can give rise to the phenomenology of insight by triggering representational change and suggest that the affective consequences of relational reasoning may play an important role in promoting creative cognition.
Highly Effective\nDetection of Exosomal miRNAs in Plasma\nUsing Liposome-Mediated Transfection CRISPR/Cas13a

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

Exosomal\nmiRNAs play a critical role in cancer biology\nand could\nbe potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. However, due to the\nlow abundance of miRNAs in the exosomes, recognizing and detecting\ndisease-associated exosomal miRNAs in an easy-to-operate way remain\na challenge. Herein, we used a liposome-mediated membrane fusion strategy\n(MFS) to transfect CRISPR/Cas13a into exosomes, termed MFS-CRISPR,\ndirectly measuring exosomal miRNAs in plasma. Using the MFS-CRISPR\nplatform for detection of the exosomal miR-21, we achieve a linear\nrange spanning four orders of magnitude (10<sup>4</sup>–10<sup>8</sup> particles/mL) and the method is able to detect the exosomal\nmiR-21 in as low as 1.2 × 10<sup>3</sup> particles/mL. The liposome-mediated\nMFS could confine fluorescent signals in fused vesicles, which can\nbe used for exosome heterogeneity analysis. Moreover, MFS-CRISPR\nassay was evaluated by measuring clinical samples, and the difference\nof miR-21 expression of breast cancer patients and healthy donors\nwas significant. Because of high sensitivity and simplicity, the proposed\nmethod could have promising clinical potential for cancer diagnosis\nand treatment monitoring.

Managing a professional library and information science journal in Africa

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Purpose The main objective of this paper is to highlight and discuss issues, innovations and imperatives related to the management of professional library and information science (LIS) journals in Africa. Design/methodology/approach The strategy adopted was to preface the concerns about the quality of journals from Africa and then synthesize managerial issues that must be resolved to enhance quality. The next approach was to draw up a ten‐step plan of innovative ways to enhance the quality of (LIS) journals in Africa. Finally, the paper discusses eight critical imperatives related to effective management of African LIS journals. Findings The major concerns are that the continent's LIS journals are substandard, suffer high mortality and hardly appear regularly. Issues to be addressed to stem this tide of affairs include increased subscription spread, revenue base and the development of scholarly content. The paper argues that African LIS journals will continue to die young if innovative strategies are not injected to rejuvenate them. Practical implications The developments in the foreground indicate a better and brighter future for African professional LIS journals. African LIS journal managers must work towards financial independence, introduce or continue the review process, design scholarly content and strive for international competitiveness. Originality/value Probably the most comprehensive articulation of the challenges and opportunities facing LIS journal publishing in Africa.
Effects of cholera toxin on villous tissue osmolality and fluid and electrolyte transport in the small intestine of the cat

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The effects of cholera toxin on tissue osmolality and on net transport rates of water, sodium, chloride and potassium as well as on unidirectional fluxes of water and sodium were studied in vivo. In all experiments the toxin caused a net secretion of water, sodium, chloride and potassium. The unidirectional sodium transport from tissue to lumen was increased while the flux in the opposite direction was reduced 180 min after cholera toxin instillation. Cholera toxin produced only a small reduction in the villous tissue hyperosmolality, created by the intestinal countercurrent exchanger. This reduction was far too small to explain the observed net secretion of fluid and solutes induced by the cholera toxin. Other mechanisms underlying the cholera secretion are discussed.
Distributed Energy Optimization using Consensus Theory Approach

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a consensus based solution for multi-objective economic dispatch (ED) of a distributed power network. In the recent years with involvement of renewable energy, microgirds and distributed generators (DG's), the conventional power system is becoming more and more distributed and clean. Therefore, distributed methods for solving ED problem are gaining more importance. The problem in a distributed network is to satisfy the power balance constraint in a environment friendly way using consensus algorithm. As, in the distributed network it is hard to get power mismatch without a central controller. This paper presents a frequency control method combined with graph theory based consensus protocol to satisfy the power balance constraint. Two different types of control strategies are adopted, first PID based controller is used and then Neural Network (NN) based controller. Line losses are also integrated with the consensus protocol. Simulation results are validated for load variations and line losses model in the final section.
Phospholipase D2 promotes disease progression of renal cell carcinoma through the induction of angiogenin

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

A hallmark of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (cc RCC ) is the presence of intracellular lipid droplets ( LD ) and it is assumed that phosphatidic acid ( PA ) produced by phospholipase D ( PLD ) plays some role in the LD formation. However, little is known about the significance of PLD in cc RCC . In this study, we examined the expression levels of PLD in cc RCC . The classical mammalian isoforms of PLD are PLD 1 and PLD 2, and the levels of both mRNA were higher at the primary tumor sites than in normal kidney tissues. Similarly, both PLD were significantly abundant in tumor cells as determined by analysis using immunohistochemical staining. Importantly, a higher level of PLD was significantly associated with a higher tumor stage and grade. Because PLD 2 knockdown effectively suppressed the cell proliferation and invasion of cc RCC as compared with PLD 1 in vitro, we examined the effect of PLD 2 in vivo. Notably, sh RNA ‐mediated knockdown of PLD 2 suppressed the growth and invasion of tumors in nude mouse xenograft models. Moreover, the higher expression of PLD 2 was significantly associated with poorer prognosis in 67 patients. As for genes relating to the tumor invasion of PLD 2, we found that angiogenin ( ANG ) was positively regulated by PLD 2. In fact, the expression levels of ANG were elevated in tumor tissues as compared with normal kidney and the inhibition of ANG activity with a neutralizing antibody significantly suppressed tumor invasion. Overall, we revealed for the first time that PLD 2‐produced PA promoted cell invasion through the expression of ANG in cc RCC cells.
Role of Extracellular Vesicles in the Pathogenesis of Venous Thromboembolism

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common disease with an incidence of 1–2 per 1000 individuals. VTE is a collective term for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-membrane-bound spherical vesicles that bud off from the cells upon activation and apoptosis. Their size varies between 30 nm and 1 μm. Recent advances in experimental and observational studies suggest a pivotal role of EVs in VTE. \nThe main goals of the present thesis were to assess plasma levels, the cellular origin and the morphological characteristics of P-selectin Glycoprotein Ligand-1 (PSGL-1) positive microvesicles (MVs) in patients with unprovoked VTE. We investigated the potential of microRNA (miRNA) plasma levels as biomarkers for unprovoked VTE, as well as the impact of pre-analyses handling and fasting status on plasma EVs. We also developed a cost-effective modified assay to measure procoagulant phospholipid activity. \nIn the study described in Paper I, we evaluated plasma levels and parental origins of PSGL-1+ MVs in patients with unprovoked VTE. The results showed that high plasma PSGL-1+ MV levels were associated with an increased risk of unprovoked VTE. In Paper II, we analyzed the effect of anticoagulant choice on EVs, and found no difference between anticoagulants in terms of total EVs plasma concentrations and size distribution. Postprandial lipidemia was not accompanied by apparent changes in plasma EVs concentration, but an increase in the mean size of VLDL particles interfered with EV measurements in the postprandial phase. The results of the study described in Paper III revealed that plasma miRNA profiling could provide novel biomarkers for unprovoked VTE. In Paper IV, we showed that a modified PPL assay performed as well as a commercial competitor, with advantages of being insensitive to postprandial lipoproteins and tissue factor positive (TF+) EVs and lower cost, making it suitable for large-scale studies.
DEVELOPING A TWO-ECHELON VENDOR-MANAGED INVENTORY (VMI) MODEL WITH ONE SUPPLIER AND MULTIPLE BUYERS

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) system is a method in which the purchase orders are made by the supplier according to the demand data shared between the retailer/ customer. This paper provides an improved mathematical model for a two-echelon vendor-managed inventory (VMI) system with one supplier and multiple buyers. With existing VMI models based mainly on single-supplier and single-buyer systems, the new model gives an optimal realistic and scalable extension by considering various downstream buyers with different demand rates, cost functions, and lead times. Two alternative inventory control methods are considered: the traditional (decentralize) model with buyers maintaining their inventories independently and the VMI system where the supplier handles the replenishment of inventory for all buyers. The goal is to minimize system-wide total inventory cost, including setup, holding, transportation, and backorder costs under continuous review policies. Here, I have explored a problem in real-life context with sensitivity analysis to cross-verify the model and determine extent points—parameter conditions where both the systems have cost parity. Findings indicate that cost parity could be present under certain setups, yet the VMI model presents better strategic advantages in terms of coordination, visibility, and responsiveness. This research adds a real-world decision-support instrument for supply chain managers to consider when deciding whether to switch from classical stock systems to centralized VMI strategies within multi-buyer settings.
Survey of International Business Positions Advertised in the National Business Employment Weekly

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract To secure data on current hiring and selection criteria used by American-based and foreign-based multinational corporations, a content analysis of the 52 issues of the National Business Employment Weekly (NBEW) for 1995 was performed. A total of 1,165 international personnel advertisements was studied to gather data on hiring firm, job classification, job location, academic and work experience requirements, and foreign language and travel requirements. Openings advertised in the NBEW were most likely for middle-level general managers or for marketing personnel, split almost equally between manufacturing and service industries. Most NBEW position announcements were for experienced personnel with an advanced degree. Foreign language facility, most often Spanish, was commonly demanded, and frequent travel was required. Suggestions offered to business school curriculum designers include promoting advanced business degrees to undergraduate business students as the standard entry requirement for advancement in international business management, imposing foreign language requirements for all international business students, developing cooperative education programs and internships with multinational firms, and internation-alizing business school faculty.

Drs. Carol Shields, Arun Singh, and Jerry Shields are specialists in retinal and other types of ocular tumors.</p> <p>How has the use of OCT improved your diagnostic acumen regarding pediatric retinal disorders? Has it changed the way you practice? Has it added to your practice?</p> <p><b>C. Shields</b>: OCT has been available commercially for approximately 4 to 5 years, having been studied for 10 to 20 years prior to this. In our practice of ocular oncology, OCT is employed for most patients who have an intraocular tumor or an intraocular condition, regardless of whether they have good vision and whether we see a mass, because it provides high-resolution detail of the macula. If a child has slightly decreased vision and a normal-appearing fundus, would you rather perform fluorescein angiography or OCT on this child to better understand the details of the fovea? Children prefer OCT over invasive fluorescein angiography for looking at the cross-sectional anatomy of the fovea. Therefore, we image with OCT most of the patients we see with intraocular tumors.</p>

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In this study, it was aimed to determine the most preferred bedding material in terms of cow comfort on dairy cattle barn in Antalya. For this purpose, 5 different bedding materials were applied in a total of 50 stalls. One hard plastic (rubber mat), two different types of soft plastic (soft foam mat and curly mat) and tartan rubber mat were placed on free-stall floors with 4 different application types. Thus, different bedding materials were evaluated in terms of preference time in different seasons. Then, the most preferred bedding material was determined using the preference conditions of the different bedding materials placed on the stall floor via measurements and observations made 24 hours a day for 6 months. Besides, the cow's preferences time recorded with cameras placed in the barn, the most preferred bedding material was identified. In addition, the preference times and usage periods of 4 different bedding materials used in the free stall floor were compared with the concrete floor. According to the result of the records and observations, it was determined that the cows are spending their time in soft foam mat with 237.14 min/day, hard rubber mat with 226.05 min/day, and soft curly mat with 216.28 min/day.
