Low phenotypic and genotypic variability for yield-attributing traits and susceptibility to salinity stress are constraints of mungbean productivity. The objectives of the study are to phenotype a set of exotic mungbean genotypes for yield-attributing traits and salinity tolerance, as well as to conduct genetic analysis of these traits for efficient selection. Three consecutive experiments were conducted to fulfill these objectives. In the first experiment, 26 mungbean genotypes were evaluated for yield traits unde [...]

The tariff policy for energy services is a fundamental issue for today's societies, especially for end users, including residential, commercial, and industrial. The main objective of this paper is to propose a statistical method to calculate, compare, and evaluate policies of this nature. To this end, firstly, it is intended to rethink an old concept on this type of policy, the principle of fairness and reasonableness, through the linkage with the perspective of human rights, specifically with the right to energy, [...]

This work investigates the potential of renewable energy to significantly reduce Togo’s energy deficit, offering a critical analysis of the country’s current energy landscape. It evaluates the availability and viability of renewable energy sources—particularly solar and small-scale hydropower—and examines the mismatch between energy supply and growing demand. The study highlights Togo’s heavy reliance on biomass and energy imports from neighbouring countries such as Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, and Nigeria, which exacerba [...]

Pleural effusions are defined as accumulations of fluid in the pleural cavity surrounding the lungs. They are often secondary outcomes of underlying conditions, such as congestive heart failure, malignancy, or pneumonia. Acute cases of COVID-19 pneumonia have been linked to episodes of pleural effusion, but these cases are often rare. In this report, we analyze a case of pleural effusion in a 71-year-old female patient who had been declining after a recent COVID-19 infection and later died in the hospital. It is no [...]

Balanced chromosomal rearrangements, including translocations, contribute to infertility, repeated abortions, and/or genetically imbalanced offspring in corresponding carriers. A translocation is usually considered a unique, de novo, or familial event. Besides, some translocations have also been shown to develop multiple times with slightly different or even identical breakpoints; for others, founder effects have been suggested. Here, two known recurrent translocations [t(11;22)(q23.3;q11.21) and der(X)t(X; Y)(p22. [...]

To present a rare clinical case of a man affected simultaneously by Becker phenotype Muscular Dystrophy (MD) and Klinefelter syndrome and the way how he was diagnosed. A 35-year-old man was evaluated in the context of hospitalization for respiratory failure. Since childhood, he had a clinical and muscle biopsy diagnosis of muscular dystrophy, possibly type Becker. His physical examination showed severe weakness of the pelvic and shoulder girdle, with a waddling gait, grade II scoliosis associated with tall height, [...]

This paper argues that psychology, as a discipline, requires research to be situated in the context of a content-based theory. We identify several problems and pitfalls with requiring a content-based theory for applied mental health research, a priori. Nonetheless, we also articulate a rationale for why theory matters and that a new sort of theoretical framework is required for applied mental health research. We address this need by articulating a new theoretical framework called Applied Pragmatic Functional Contex [...]
