Abstract

The recent study, carried out in 2022 in Bismayah City, Baghdad, Iraq, aimed to investigate the influence of humic and salicylic acids on the growth traits of different trees. The first factor was humic acid (H) with three levels - water spray (H0 control), 5 g L-1 (H1), and 10 g L-1 (H2). The second factor was salicylic acid with three levels, i.e., water spray (S0 control), 250 mg L-1 (S1), and 500 mg L-1 (S2). The third factor was four tree types, namely, Eucalyptus camaldulensis L. (T1), Albizia lebbeck L. (T2), Ficus carica L. (T3), and Morus nigra L. (T4). The study comprised a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results showed that humic acid, 10 g L-1 (H2), significantly increased the stem diameter (28.20 mm), plant height (36.50 cm), shoot length (37.64 cm), and leaf chlorophyll content (29.45 mg g-1). The salicylic acid spray of 500 mg L-1 (S2) significantly enhanced the plant height (32.59 cm), shoot length (36.82 cm), and leaf chlorophyll content (28.22 mg g-1). Albizia lebbeck L. (T2) excelled with an enhanced stem diameter (34.54 mm) and plant height (46.77 cm). Eucalyptus camaldulensis L. (T1) was superior with an extended shoot length (43.64 cm). However, Ficus carica L. (T3) was superb in the leaf chlorophyll content (29.51 mg g-1). The interactions among the study factors significantly affected all the studied vegetative growth traits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2. Why him not me?:inclusive/exclusive talent identification in academic public context

Author

Mousa, M. (Mohamed), Massoud, H. K. (Hiba K.), Ayoubi, R. M. (Rami M.), Murtaza, G. (Ghulam), Mousa, M. (Mohamed), Massoud, H. K. (Hiba K.), Ayoubi, R. M. (Rami M.), and Murtaza, G. (Ghulam)

Abstract

We investigated the relevance of introducing talent identification/classifications among Egyptian public business schools, as perceived by academics, and the expected outcomes of such proposed classification system. We employed thematic analysis of data collected from interviews with 49 academics from three large business schools. Our findings revealed the following themes: no clear systems for talent management; being talent means going the extra mile in research; talent identification/classification system is irrelevant due to: academic corruption; age and religious discrimination; the unique nature of higher education work; and the fears of enforcing clashes, inequality and exclusion. We confirmed that any attempt to constitute talent classifications in the Egyptian higher education does not appear to be a prioritized need for the sector. Nevertheless, we did assert the need to manage motivational, structural, consequential and social responsibility boundaries before the need for constituting any system for talent identification and classifications.

Abstract

Despite recent advances in microfabrication and nanofabrication, integrating multiple modes of communication with the brain into a single biocompatible neural probe remains a challenge. These multifunctional neural probes may further our understanding of normal and disrupted functions of neural circuits manifested in neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease. Here, we present a novel family of probes fabricated using a thermal drawing process. In this process, a macroscopic template (preform) containing the desired features is drawn by applying heat and tension into a fiber that conserves the original geometry of the preform but at a much smaller scale. Being composed of soft materials, such as polymers, conductive composites, and low melting temperature metals, fiber based neural probes minimize the damage to the surrounding tissue when implanted. Furthermore, fiber drawing enables straightforward integration features allowing for simultaneous electrical, optical and chemical interrogation of the brain. We demonstrate the utility of these probes for one-step optogenetics, in which a viral vector carrying opsin genes is injected through the same device then used to optically stimulate neurons and record their response as electrical activity. With these probes, we also show, for the first time, recordings of electrical activity in the spinal cord of freely moving mice.

29. Towards novel compact laser sources for non-invasive diagnostics and treatment

Author

Abstract

An important field of application of lasers is biomedical optics. Here, they offer great utility for diagnosis, therapy and surgery. For the development of novel methods of laser-based biomedical diagnostics careful study of light propagation in biological tissues is necessary to enhance our understanding of the optical measurements undertaken, increase research and development capacity and the diagnostic reliability of optical technologies. Ultimately, fulfilling these requirements will increase uptake in clinical applications of laser based diagnostics and therapeutics. To address these challenges informative biomarkers relevant to the biological and physiological function or disease state of the organism must be selected. These indicators are the results of the analysis of tissues and cells, such as blood. For non-invasive diagnostics peripheral blood, cells and tissue can potentially provide comprehensive information on the condition of the human organism. A detailed study of the light scattering and absorption characteristics can quickly detect physiological and morphological changes in the cells due to thermal, chemical, antibiotic treatments, etc [1-5]. The selection of a laser source to study the structure of biological particles also benefits from the fact that gross pathological changes are not induced and diagnostics make effective use of the monochromatic directional coherence properties of laser radiation.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to evaluate and improve the treatment strategy of inguinal hernia in children.A retrospective analysis was performed on the hospital notes and operation records of 827 (681 boys and 146 girls) children who underwent inguinal herniotomy at Al-Fatah Children Hospital, Benghazi, Libya, between 1998 and 2002.Eight hundred and sixty-five inguinal herniotomies were performed on 827 children. In 497 patients, operations were performed on the right side, in 292 on the left side, and in 38 bilateral. Thirty-nine (4.7%) children presented as emergencies with irreducible hernia, of which 29 (74.4%) patients underwent emergency herniotomies while the remaining 10 (25.6%) patients could be treated with conservative measures at the time of admission. Postoperative complication rate for elective was 6.3% and for emergency groups was 24%. The overall postoperative complication rate was 6.6%. There were 5 recurrences giving a recurrence rate of 0.5%.Early detection and repair of inguinal hernia in infancy and childhood is essential to decrease the potential operative morbidity rate. This needs an increase in parental awareness. Quick and prompt referral of irreducible hernias for surgery is strongly recommended.

Abstract

Ultra small scale implants have gained lots of importance for both acute and chronic applications. Optical techniques hold the key to miniaturizing these devices to long sought sub-mm scale. This will lead towards long term use of these devices for medically relevant applications. It can also allow using multiple of these devices at the same time and forming a true body area network of sensors. In this paper, we present optical power transfer to such devices and the techniques to harness this power for different applications, for example high voltage or high current applications. We also present methods for wireless data transfer from such implants.
