Impact of maternal exposure to e-cigarette vapor on offspring health outcomes
Since their introduction in 2007, electronic cigarettes have gained popularity, much of which come from the notion that it is a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes, even for women during pregnancy. These assertions are based in large part on the fact that e-cigarette vapors contain less toxicant compared with cigarette smoke. Little is known yet about the effects of prenatal exposure on offspring; hence, this paper aims to provide an overview of the current research on the impacts of prenatal e-cigarette exposure to offspring health outcomes. Since a clinical study in humans is scarce, this review refers only to animal studies published from 2018 to present. All relevant studies were systematically selected from online databases (Google Scholar, Web of Science, PubMed, NCBI, Research Gate, Science Direct). The search yielded 10 significant research papers. Most studies included made use of murine model for maternal e-cigarette exposure. Prenatal exposure to e-cigarettes of high nicotine levels resulted to reduced birth weight and litter size. Maternal vaping produced developmental dysfunction in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic and renal systems of offspring. Moreover, afflicted offspring had short term memory deficits, and impaired learning and object recognition ability. Hyperactivity and decreased anxiety behavior are also exhibited by prenatally exposed offspring. It is also noted that e - cigarette vapor confers adverse health outcomes, independent of nicotine content. Based on these findings, it is then recommended that a more intense education and awareness program on the detrimental effects of e-cigarette smoking be given to pregnant women of child-bearing age, as well as prenatal care professionals.
Socio-demographic profile and baseline information on Freshwater Clam
This study aims to acquire baseline data on the socio-economic profile of the Freshwater Clam "bennek" gatherers, their fishing techniques, conservational practices, and management plans in light of the increasing strain of development on biodiversity. This study used the descriptive-survey method of research. The bennek gatherers were discovered to be middle-aged, to have completed elementary and high school, to have two siblings living with them, and to have their fathers as the primary gatherers of their young. The gatherers had an average harvest of less than 5 gantas each day for 3-4 hours per day, 4-5 days per week, and use their own wooden boat and "Karadikad" as harvesting implement. Majority of bivalve gatherers earned less than 5000.00 pesos per month. Additionally, majority of bennek gatherers reside in concrete homes with electric lighting and deep wells for water source. In addition, the months of March through July are when the harvest is at its greatest. Most of the gatherers' harvest is used for domestic consumption. Majority of gatherers appreciate the varied management strategies' relevance. Quarrying and river siltation are two issues that the "bennek" gatherers frequently encounter. Policy recommendations were presented to the Local Government Unit of Alcala for a sustainable supply of Freshwater Clam locally known as bennek in the different study sites where this resource is thriving.

Assessment of nutritional qualities of palm weevil larvae from Elaeis guineensis
This study was carried out to assess the nutritional qualities of the larva of Rhynchophorus phoenicis collected from rot oil palm trees (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) and Raphia palm trees (Raphia farinifera (Gaertn.) Hyl.) at Amukpee, Delta State, Nigeria. Samples of fresh Rhynchophorus phoenicis larvae collected at different locations in the study area were subjected to analysis for their nutritional mineral qualities using standard laboratory methods. The results showed that variations occurred in composition of nutrient, proximate and mineral compositions of the different samples. R. Phoenicis obtained from raphia palm and oil palm trees recorded higher values of moisture contents in fresh samples with 52.21% and 50.10% respectively. Dry matter composition also recorded higher values in fresh samples of both palm species. From the results, no significant difference (P> 0.05) was spotted in vitamin A and C of R. Phoenicis across the different palm trees with higher values recorded in fresh samples accordingly. Vitamin C results obtained from raphia palm tree samples recorded statistically higher value of 3.23ppm for fresh compared to 2.4ppm recorded for oil palm tree species. The mineral composition varied in the different palm trees. The composition of copper showed that oil palm tree samples recorded higher value of 0.95ppm, 0.87ppm and 0.69ppm for roasted, dried and fresh samples. Also, phosphorus composition obtained from raphia palm tree samples recorded higher values of 5.66ppm, 4.84ppm and 4.34ppm of phosphorus for roasted, dried and fresh samples. Considering the nutritional values of these oil palm weevils, the consumption of these larvae should be incorporated into our daily meal as complementary cheap diet in our society.
Effects of root pruning to growth and root growth potential of Benguet pine
The country faces the dreaded consequences of its massive, deforested areas. To rehabilitate, restore, and preserve these areas, reforestation projects are needed and one of its essential activities is producing quality seedlings that could survive in harsh conditions. Thus, it is vital to consider a nursery management practice like root pruning that relatively assess nursery seedling quality and performance. The study was carried out to evaluate the effects of root pruning on the growth and root growth potential (RGP) of Benguet pine seedlings which is commonly used in the Cordillera Region, Philippines. The study was laid out following a completely randomized design with 4 treatments replicated 3 times: T0 - Control (not root pruned), T1 - root pruned (5cm from root collar), T2 - root pruned (7cm from root collar), and T3 - root pruned (10cm from root collar). The result showed that in terms of height growth, root pruned seedlings at 5cm from root collar (T1) obtained the highest value with 16.70cm. While relative to root collar diameter, number of lateral roots, root length, root and shoot dry weights, root-shoot ratio, sturdiness quotient, and seedling quality index, not root pruned seedlings relatively showed higher and favorable results with 0.78mm, 44.47, 51.53cm, 11.10g, 32.83g, 0.34, 14.16, 13.33, respectively. With the proper management, care, and maintenance, 100% survival rate has been observed in the study. Statistically, the results showed significant difference on the number of roots, root dry weight, root-shoot ratio, and seedling quality index, while comparable results on the height, root collar diameter, root length, shoot dry weight, and sturdiness quotient. Thus, it is relevant to consider some factors like frequency of root pruning treatment, age of the seedlings, duration of conduct, number of nodules, and soil and water management for seedlings for more reliable assessment of plant quality and performance.

Inventory of fungal pathogens of early maturing Mango varieties in the Kounkane
In Senegal, mango production, in spite of a positive record performance in recent years, is confronted with numerous diseases. The rainfall richer south and south eastern parts of the country, stand among the main contributors of mango production. Fruits are known to by infested and rotten almost totally when they mature in the rainy season. However, a lot of mango varieties mature before onset of the moist rainy season. The present study was therefore undertaken to make an inventory of the causing agents of pre- and post-harvest diseases of mangoes maturing before the rain starts. Samples were taken from the fields and brought to the laboratory for analysis. The results showed that Colletotrichum spp., Pestalotia sp., Lasiodiplodia sp., Fusarium spp., Curvularia sp., Alternaria sp. and non- sporulating fungi were associated with diseased organs in tree canopy. Fungal diversity was higher for orchards harboring trees over 15 years of age. For the mangoes, the disease incidence reached 13% after harvest. This infestation was due to by 50% to non-sporulating fungi, 31% to Colletotrichum spp., 13% to Fusarium spp. and 6% to Lasiodiplodia sp. These results show the pathogens are present in the fields and that their dynamic depend on the climatic conditions.
Vertical electric drilling for evaluating aquifer levels in Ukwani and ensuring
This study aims to investigate the aquifer levels in the localized area of Ukwani, with a specific focus on the water depths of Obeti, Oliogo, and Ebedei communities. The research utilizes drilling data to determine the water depths and availability of water bodies in these areas. The results revealed that the water depth of Obeti ranges from 6m to 34m, indicating a significant variation in the aquifer level. Similarly, the water depth of Oliogo varies between 10m and 80m, reflecting substantial differences in groundwater availability. Ebedei exhibits a broader range, with water levels varying from 4m to 100 m. The drilling data confirms the presence of water bodies at depths of 25m and 30m in these areas, highlighting potential reservoirs for groundwater extraction and utilization. This study provides valuable insights into the aquifer levels in Ukwuani, shedding light on the variations in water depths and identifying areas with potential water resources. These findings contribute to informed decision-making for water management and resource planning in the region.
Synthesis and characterization of chitosan-fruit peel nanocomposite with
The high surface area-to-volume ratio of chitosan-fruit-peel nanocomposite and other distinctive physical, chemical, and biological properties that arise due to its size effects have attracted significant attention in the field of environmental remediation. Wet chemical techniques are commonly used to create metallic nanoparticles; however, the chemicals used are typically dangerous and combustible. Because it doesn't involve the use of hazardous chemicals, the synthesis of nanoparticles using a range of fruit resources is regarded as green technology. Utilizing the powdered peels of Garcina mangostana (mangosteen), the chitosan-fruit peel nanocomposite was created. By employing Fourier spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG/DTA), researchers were able to characterize the synthesized chitosan-fruit peel nanocomposite. Chitosan-fruit peel nanocomposite is used to investigate the photocatalytic degradation of model dye and industrial effluent. The sequestration of dye from aqueous solutions using chitosan-fruit peel nanocomposite is the main emphasis of this work. The Chitosan-Fruit Peel Nanocomposite could therefore be a viable adsorbent material in environmental rehabilitation and remediation.
Induction of systemic resistance in tomato against Ralstonia solanacearum using
Ralstonia solanacearum that causes a vascular wilt disease and has been ranked as the second most important bacterial pathogen and it is one of the most destructive pathogens identified to date because it induces rapid and fatal wilting symptoms in host plants. Potential of thyme essential oil, tea tree essential oil and oregano essential oil in inducing systemic acquired resistance in tomato plants against R. solanacearum was evaluated. The study was lay-outed using CRD, replicated three times with five treatments: T1-control (negative control), T2- Salicylic acid (Positive control), T3-Tea Tree essential oil, T4- Thyme essential oil, and T5-Oregano essential oil. The experimental pots was inoculated with the bacteria and plant essential oils were applied after 2 hours of infestation, then pots were sealed with cellophane for 7 days and tomato seedlings were transplanted after 3 days of aeration. The result revealed that the different elicitors were effective in reducing disease incidence and disease severity in tomato plants. It also increase number of survival plants ranges from 55.55-77.78%, plant height increment and number of leaves. This result implies that tea tree oil, thyme essential oil and oregano essential oils are not only effective elicitors in inducing systemic resistance in tomato against R. solanacearum but it can also improve its growth and development.
Antifungal potential of Streptomyces sp. 3400 JX826625 ethanolic filtrate
Fruit postharvest diseases, because of different losses they generate, remain a major problem affecting diverse domains in the world. Among several alternatives used to control phytopathogenic fungi, the main causal agents of fruit postharvest diseases; the efficacies of microorganism culture filtrates have been demonstrated in many works. For this purpose, this study aimed to assess the potential of Streptomyces sp 3400 JX826625 ethanolic filtrate to inhibit Penicillium digitatum growth and to control postharvest decay in citrus fruits (lemons and oranges) during the storage. In vitro assay using agar cylinder technique showed that the actinomycete isolate displayed antagonistic activity against Penicillium digitatum with an inhibition rate of 60.60±2.62%. On the other side, the ethanolic filtrate of the strain prepared from the culture on starch casein agar medium using radial growth method was very active towards the phytopathogen displaying an inhibition rate value of 77.27±4.54%. The disc technique showed an inhibition zone value of 19mm. Chemical screening of the ethanolic filtrate through precipitation and coloration assays revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, polyphenols, flavonoids and leucoanthocyans. In vivo assay with lemons and oranges presented a preventive effect of the antifungal product. An improvement of the shelf life for the two tested fruits treated with the ethanolic filtrate were recorded during artificial infection experimentation (5 days for both fruits) and storage assay (11 days for lemons and over 21 days for oranges) at ambient temperature, compared to untreated fruits of which the shelf life was 2 days (lemons) and 4 days (oranges).
Development of low-cost cultivation protocol for Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis)
Ganoderma lucidum commonly known as lingzhi mushroom, or reishi mushroom in some countries, is an edible mushroom known for its medicinal value. This study evaluated the optimum culture media, grain spawn and substrate formulation for the cultivation of G. lucidum. The use of different low-cost culture media, grains and substrate formulations in the preparation of pure cultures, grain spawn bags and fruiting bags of G. lucidum were tested. The largest mycelial diameter was observed in Potato Sucrose Agar (93.45mm) which was significantly higher among all the treatments used. It has very thick mycelial density. Cracked corn as spawning material had the shortest incubation period of 14 days, which showed significant difference compared to sorghum seeds and barley grains. The use of cracked corn also incurred the lowest cost and highest return of investment in grain spawn bag production. For fruiting bag production, substrate combination of 50% sawdust and 30% rice straw supplemented with 20% rice bran was the best formulation for fruiting bag production of G. lucidum which had the highest yield with a mean value of 91.30g and biological efficiency of 20.29%.
A study on detection of dengue-chikungunya co-infection in and around
Both Dengue and Chikungunya fever are arboviral infections of global importance. The two diseases share a common mode of transmission, i.e. through different species of mosquitoes. Therefore, these infections are normally present in the same geographical locations. Human co-infection with DENV and CHIKV have been reported in India since 1967. Since DENV and CHIKV share a seasonal transmission cycle and have a number of similarities in clinical presentation, they are difficult to distinguish without specialized serologic or molecular diagnosis. The Objective Of the Study is to evaluate Dengue and Chikungunya Co-infection in and around Chamarajanagar. Two years retrospective study was conducted from January 2017 to December 2018. Samples from patients of all age group who presented with fever, and were clinically suspected to have Dengue and Chikungunya were included. Testing method will be done by IgM antibody capture ELISA kits produced by NIV (Arbovirus Diagnostic NIV, Pune, India). The tests will be carried out following the manufacturer's instruction. In 2017, Of 1664 samples tested for Dengue IgM, 158(09.49%) were positive. In 2018, of 737 samples tested for Dengue IgM, 48 (6.51%) were positive. In 2017, Of 1439 samples tested for Chikungunya, 147(10.21%) were positive. In 2018, of 711 samples tested for Chikungunya IgM, 90 (12.6%) were positive. 12 patients from 2017 and 19 patients from 2018, Total 31 patients were characterized with coinfection involving CHIKV and DENV infection respectively. The serological tests (ELISA) clearly establish the etiology and also help in initiating appropriate treatment and preventive measures in community.
In vitro assay of Bidens pilosa Linn. aqueous extract against postharvest fungal
A bioassay was conducted to assess the antifungal effects of the different concentrations of Biden pilosa Linn. aqueous extract against fungal pathogens isolated from corn and peanut seeds. The assay employed the disk diffusion technique to determine the effects of the diffusible metabolites from B. pilosa on the growth of the fungal species on potato dextrose agar (PDA). The aqueous extract showed significant activity against Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Fusarium sp., and Penicillium sp. from corn seeds. The best antifungal activity was observed in A. niger with inhibitory zones as wide as 19.72mm in diameter. On the other hand, the fungal isolates from peanut namely, A. flavus, A. niger, Penicillium sp., and Rhizopus stolonifer showed sensitivity to the aqueous extract from B. pilosa. The best antifungal activity was recorded in Penicillium sp. with the widest zone of inhibition of 24.87mm at 24 hours after incubation (HAI). This in vitro study, therefore, confirms that the B. pilosa aqueous extract inhibits the growth of fungal species associated with corn and peanut seeds.

The presence of zoonotic protozoans and nematodes on contaminated street food
Street food consumption has been a popular staple food in both developed and underdeveloped countries including the Philippines. These street foods were commonly dipped into different sauces like soy sauce, ketchup, and vinegar to improve flavor and moisture. In many cases, these dipping sauces can be contaminated with zoonotic protozoans and nematodes because of improper sanitation practices by the vendors and consumers as well as because of non-hygienic food preparation, storage, and handling. Consequently, these sauces can be a major source of infection for the person ingesting them. This study sought to identify the different zoonotic protozoans and nematodes that can be found in the street food dipping sauces in Tangub City. Five (5) mL of the dipping sauce were collected and brought to the laboratory for analysis and identification of zoonotic protozoans and nematodes. The findings of the study were subjected to statistical analysis like frequency, percentage, and analysis of variance. Zoonotic protozoans and nematodes were found, namely: Entamoeba histolytica and Ancylostoma duodenale. Entamoeba histolytica was the most commonly occurring organism in all the samples examined and causes harm in the form of a disease such as amoebic colitis. On the other hand, Ancylostoma duodenale was also considered a zoonotic organism. The samples contained significant differences in the numbers of Entamoeba histolytica (p-value 0.0025) in soy sauce and vinegar, while Ancylostoma duodenale (p-value 0.0172) in soy sauce and ketchup. The study concludes that the consumption of street foods dipped in contaminated different sauces can be a venue for zoonotic disease transmission and should be carefully monitored by the local authorities.
Phenotypic identification of Candida species from various clinical samples
Candidiasis is worldwide in distribution, and is one of the common fungal diseases isolated in man, which affects the skin, mucosa and various internal organs. It is caused by various species of Candida, which is a yeast-like fungi that produce pseudohyphae. Speciation helps to understand the epidemiology of Candida species particularly, the source and mode of transmission of resistant pathogens. Various commercially available chromogenic agar medium has been studied and evaluated for presumptive identification of various species of Candida. The present study was conducted for a duration of 12 months from the month of July 2019 to the month of July 2020, in the Department of Microbiology at a medical college in Siddipet, with prior approval of institutional ethics committee. The present study was aimed at isolating and identifying the Candida species from various clinical samples by using chromogenic media for easy and rapid speciation in addition to the time consuming and labour-intensive conventional methods. Among the Candida isolates the most frequently isolated species was found to be Candida albicans. In the present study non-albicans Candida (NAC) (50.91%) had predominance over Candida albicans (49.09%). In our study, an increase in the number of cases caused by NAC was noted though the most common species isolated was Candida albicans. CHROMagar was found to be a simple, easy and also a rapid method for Candida species detection. It considerably reduced the turn-around-time.
A study on central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI)
Central line catheters are the main source of vascular access in the initial stages of hemodialysis for most of the chronic kidney disease patients. Their immunocompromised state makes them more vulnerable for catheter associated nosocomial infections. The present study was aimed to determine the incidence, causative organisms, antibiogram and the role of bundle care in the prevention of these infections. It is a cross sectional study carried out over a period of 6 months in a tertiary care hospital which included 70 adults (18-60 years) undergoing hemodialysis and suspected of septicaemia. Two blood samples 5ml each were collected from each patient, one from peripheral line and other from central line, transported and processed by standard bacteriological methods. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined by Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method. Incidence of CLABSI was 22.5% with rate being 11. 49 episodes per 1000 catheter days. Incidence was more in adults between the age of 30 to 39 and there was male predominance. S. aureus was the predominant isolate. The other isolates were Klebsiella species, Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas. Gram positive organisms were sensitive to teicoplanin, linezolid, Clindamycin, Vancomycin and resistant to Azithromycin. Gram negative organisms were 100% sensitive to Imipenem and Cefepime and 100% resistant to Ampicillin. CLABSI are a major cause of hospitalization and mortality in hemodialysis patients. Since CVCs are increasingly being used every dialysis unit should have an infection surveillance program to facilitate identification of catheter related infections and timely interventions to reduce infection rates and improve patient clinical outcomes.
In-vitro Inhibitory Indices of Selected Fungal Isolates against Mycotoxin Fungi
Limited fungal-based biocontrol products are available for use against mycotoxins in food and feed industry in Kenya. In filling this gap, in-vitro inhibitory assessment of six mycotoxin and nine non-mycotoxin species isolated from Western Kenya were placed on growth media using dual and modified plating techniques to determine the percentage inhibitions, capacity to form inhibition zones and degree of general antagonism on growth of mycotoxin fungi. The cultures were incubated at 25-27oC under 12-hour dark and 12-hour light conditions aseptically. Observations were made 10 days after incubation. Fungal isolates tested for their antagonistic effect on mycotoxin fungi were MCMT4b, MCMT3, MCHB2, T. harzianum, Monascus species, Biatrospora species, P. endophytica, C. olivaceum, and Epichloe species. Mycotoxin fungi tested were A. flavus, A. parasiticus, A. nomius, P. corrylophillum, P. auratiogriseum and A. niger. More than 80% growth inhibitory indices against mycotoxin fungi were expressed by T. harzianum, MCMT3, MCMT4b and Monascus species. Also, MCMT3, MCMT4b and Monascus species formed the largest inhibition zones against mycotoxin fungi. Fungal isolates MCMT3, MCMT4b, Monascus species and T. harzianum have growth suppression effect against A. flavus, A. parasiticus, A. niger, P. corrylophillum, and P. auratiogriseum in-vitro. More elaborate identification of the unidentified fungi, genetic characterization and field efficacy assessments of these isolates is recommended.
Asexual Representation in the Media
This is an essay I wrote for English that I want to share cause this stuff is important to me as an asexual.**DISCLAIMER: I am a younger cisgender aroace girl, so my relationship with asexuality will be different from POC, trans, nonbinary, men, alloromantic, and older asexuals, and that bias will likely be present in my writing, so you can most definitely call me out of I said something wrong.**This is NOT an all-inclusive essay on the conversation around ace representation in the media either; in fact, I would consider this pretty bare bones, especially as I didn't touch on the intersection of race and gender with asexuality, so if you want to learn more, follow ace activists or creators like Yasmin Benoit on social media and/or do your own research*Also if there's a word you don't know, comment and I can add it to the vocab section (if it's relevant to the topic of asexuality)*
