The Effect of Type and Method of Immobilizing Bacillus Megaterium Bacteria Inoculation in Increasing Potassium Available and Growth of Wheat Plant Triticum Aestivum L

A field experiment was carried out at the second agricultural research and experiment station of the College of Agriculture, Muthanna University, for the 2019-2020 agricultural season, with the randomized complete block design RCBD, using two factors and three repeats, that’s to study the effect of adding the bio inoculant from Bacillus megaterium bacteria, and when loaded the bacterium with the immobilization inoculation technology on zeolite, sodium alginate, Agarose and bentonite and it’s symboled of M0, M1, M2 and M3 respectively to compare its efficiency in increasing potassium available and growth of wheat plant variety Eba’a 99. The experiment included two comparison treatments, the first being B0 without the addition of the bacterial inoculant and the second comparative treatment being B1 adding the bacterial vaccine. At the end of the experiment, potassium concentration was estimated in soil after cultivation. The results showed a clear moral effect of the use of the immobilized bacterial inoculant in Nitrogen available at a 15.65 (mg N kg−1 soil) and with an increase of 17.14%, Potassium available at a 289.2 (mg K kg−1 soil) and an increase of 6.79%, and the plant height was a rate of 84.87 cm and an increase of 9.41% and bio yield at 810.25 kg dunum−1 and an increase of 34.98%.

Synchrony and diachrony of postverbal negation in Jodï-Sáliban

This article proposes a detailed comparative treatment of negation in the Jodï-Sáliban language family (Venezuela-Colombia, Northwest Amazonia, South America), which consists of four languages: Jodï [yau], Sáliba [slc], Piaroa [pid] and Mako [wpc]. This comparative analysis of negation strategies across the four languages in the family not only offers an overview of negation strategies in this language family but also allows for conclusions to be drawn on the cognacy of the different constructions and markers as well as on the sources of the main negation strategies. Specifically, I show that, even though certain markers are not cognate, negation in these languages has – as far back as the documentation goes – always been postverbal and suggest that postverbal negation can be diachronically stable. This research thus offers an in-depth analysis of negation in Jodï-Sáliban, a language family that remains underdescribed, and, crucially, contributes to our understanding of postverbal negation and its sources.

The Effect of Various Comparison of the Proportions of Seaweed (Eucheuma spinosum) and Gelatin on the Characteristics of Roselle Jelly Candy (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.)

Rosela flower (H. sabdariffa L.) is one of the plants that has many health benefits, which contain Vitamin C, Vitamin A, essential proteins, and 18 types of amino acids that aim to strengthen the body's immune system, treat diabetes, inhibit cancer cells and many more properties of this plant. Gelling agent commonly used to make jelly candy is gelatin, but in the application sometimes gelatin even makes the texture of jelly candy becomes very hard if the added concentration is not appropriate, besides the price of special gelatin food ( food grade) is still relatively expensive compared to other hydrocolloid materials. That's why it takes another gel shaper that can improve the quality of the texture of jelly candy and suppress the use of gelatin, one of which can be used seaweed (E. spinosum). The objective of this research was to find out the effect of various proportions of seaweed (E. spinosum) and gelatin on the characteristics of roselle jelly candy (H. sabdariffa L.). The method used is non-parametric statistical tests (Friedman test) with 10 levels of treatment and performed three times the test on each treatment. The treatment that will be done is a comparison of various proportions of seaweed: gelatin, namely PI (0: 8); P2 (0: 10); P3 (25:8); P4 (25:10); P5 (30:8); P6 (30:10); P7 (35:0); P8 (35:8); P9 (40:0) and P10 (40:8). The results showed there was a very noticeable difference in all the comparative treatment of seaweed and gelatin proportions against all test parameters. The best organoleptic test results showed color organoleptic test scores of 3.00 (neutral), organoleptic textures of 3.37 (neutral-like), organoleptic flavors of 3.40 (neutral-like) and organoleptic aromas of 3.00 (neutral).

The Appalachia Mind Health Initiative (AMHI): A pragmatic clinical trial of adjunctive internet-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy for treating major depressive disorder among primary care patients

Background: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a leading cause of disease morbidity. Combined treatment with antidepressant medication (ADM) plus psychotherapy yields a much higher MDD remission rate than ADM-only. But 77% of US MDD patients are nonetheless treated with ADM-only despite strong patient preferences for psychotherapy. This mismatch is due at least in part to a combination of cost considerations and limited availability of psychotherapists, although stigma and reluctance of PCPs to refer patients for psychotherapy are also involved. Internet-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (i-CBT) addresses all of these problems. Methods: Enrolled patients (n=3,360) will be those who are beginning ADM-only treatment of MDD in primary care facilities throughout West Virginia, one of the poorest and most rural states in the country. Participating treatment providers and study staff at West Virginia University School of Medicine (WVU) will recruit patients and, after obtaining informed consent, administer a baseline self-report questionnaire (SRQ) and then randomize patients to 1 of 3 treatment arms with equal allocation: ADM-only, ADM + self-guided i-CBT, and ADM + guided i-CBT. Follow-up SRQs will be administered 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 39, and 52 weeks after randomization. The trial has two primary objectives: to evaluate aggregate comparative treatment effects across the 3 arms; and to estimate heterogeneity of treatment effects (HTE). The primary outcome will be episode remission based on a modified version of the patient-centered Remission from Depression Questionnaire (RDQ). The sample was powered to detect predictors of HTE that would increase the proportional remission rate by 20% by optimally assigning individuals as opposed to randomly assigning them into three treatment groups of equal size. Aggregate comparative treatment effects will be estimated using intent-to-treat analysis methods. Cumulative inverse probability weights will be used to deal with loss to follow-up. A wide range of self-report predictors of MDD heterogeneity of treatment effects based on previous studies will be included in the baseline SRQ. A state-of-the-art ensemble machine learning method will be used to estimate HTE.Discussion: The study is innovative in using a rich baseline assessment and in having a sample large enough to carry out a well-powered analysis of heterogeneity of treatment effects. We anticipate finding that self-guided and guided i-CBT will both improve outcomes compared to ADM-only. We also anticipate finding that the comparative advantages of adding i-CBT to ADM will vary significantly across patients. We hope to develop a stable individualized treatment rule that will allow patients and treatment providers to improve aggregate treatment outcomes by deciding collaboratively when ADM treatment should be augmented with i-CBT. Trial registration: The Appalachian Mind Health Initiative (AMHI; registry name) was prospectively registered on 10/9/19 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04120285).
