(μ2-Adipato-κ4 O,O′:O′′,O′′′)bis[aqua(benzene-1,2-diamine-κ2 N,N′)chloridocadmium]: crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

The full molecule of the binuclear title compound, [Cd2Cl2(C6H8O4)(C6H8N2)2(H2O)2], is generated by the application of a centre of inversion located at the middle of the central CH2—CH2 bond of the adipate dianion; the latter chelates a CdII atom at each end. Along with two carboxylate-O atoms, the CdII ion is coordinated by the two N atoms of the chelating benzene-1,2-diamine ligand, a Cl− anion and an aqua ligand to define a distorted octahedral CdClN2O3 coordination geometry with the monodentate ligands being mutually cis. The disparity in the Cd—N bond lengths is related to the relative trans effect exerted by the Cd—O bonds formed by the carboxylate-O and aqua-O atoms. The packing features water-O—H...O(carboxylate) and benzene-1,2-diamine-N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, leading to layers that stack along the a-axis direction. The lack of directional interactions between the layers is confirmed by a Hirshfeld surface analysis

Accumulation of Heavy Metals in Selected Vegetables, Their Availability and Correlation in Lithogenic and Nonlithogenic Fractions of Soils from Some Agricultural Areas in Malaysia

ABSTRACT Heavy metal content was determined in selected vegetables cultivated in some highland and lowland areas in Peninsular Malaysia. Leafy vegetables were represented by convolvulus (Ipomoea aquatica) and green mustard or sawi (Brassica rapa var. parachinensis), tubers and bulbs by sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) and onion (Allium cepa), and fruity vegetables by chilly (Capsicum annuum), brinjal (Solanum melongena) and long bean (Vigna sinensis), respectively. Heavy metals from lithogenic and nonlithogenic soil fractions were studied at Cameron Highlands situated in the Pahang state and at lowland areas in Klang, Bangi, Gombak and Sepang districts in the Selangor state. The aim of the study was to investigate the availability of heavy metals and their potential uptake by vegetables in selected agricultural areas. The metals analysed were ferrum (Fe), zinc (Zn) cadmium (Cd), manganese (Mn), plumbum (Pb), copper (Cu) and chromium (Cr). Three soil samples were collected from each area and sampling was done at 1-30 cm depth. Extraction of heavy metals was carried out using sequential extraction and four fractions were produced comprising the easily leachable and ion exchange fraction, the acid reducible fraction, the oxidation organic fraction and the resistant fraction respectively. Heavy metal content in plant and soil samples were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry following standard methods (AOAC). Most metals were found at concentrations normally observed in vegetables grown in uncontaminated agricultural areas, with zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) content being highest, followed by copper (Cu), plumbum (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). However, the levels of potentially toxic metals such as Pb, Cd and Cr in the vegetables studied were found to be below the stipulated levels. Analysis of soil samples showed that the highest concentrations of heavy metals were obtained from the resistant fraction as compared to the other soil fractions. Concentration of Fe and Pb was found to be high in Sepang, whereas that of Cu was highest in Gombak and Cd levels were generally high in Sepang and Gombak. In contrast, the concentration of metals in the easily leachable and ion exchange fractions were low. Since differential uptake and accumulation of metals in the various plant parts are influenced by the availability of metals from the latter two fractions of the soils, the results indicate that availability of heavy metals to the cultivated plants (and thus, its consequent health risk to consumers) is also low. Based on the results obtained, the availability of heavy metals can be arranged as follows: Zn > Mn > Cd > Cu > Pb > Fe. The agricultural soils were found to contain high levels of Fe, Mn and Zn, whilst Cd and Cr were found in very low levels, well below the critical soil levels listed for arable land

Spatial distribution of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope in soil of an oil palm plantation

The conversion of lowland tropical forests to oil palm plantations is known to reduce the amount of soil carbon and nitrogen. However, this has been criticised as the plantations also contribute to a net gain of the soil carbon (C) stock. In this study, carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes techniques was used to confirm the source of carbon stored in plantation soils and to prove the effects of plantation activities on soil organic carbon. The objective of this study was to investigated the total organic carbon (TOC) and nitrogen (TON) content, and δ 13C and δ 15N values of soil in an oil palm plantation at different soil depths: 0-30, 30-60 and 60-90 cm and at different distances ((1.5 m: weeded circle), 3.5 (inter-rows) and 4.5 m (frond heap)) away from the tree base. The results showed that the ratio of soil δ13C and δ15N increased with depth and unusual δ15N value was reported on topsoil 0-30cm, a non-uniform distribution of soil OM (%), TOC (%), TON (%) and C/N ratio in the surface soil among the distances were observed. Negative correlation between δ13C and δ15N and bulk density (Bd) in respect of TOC and TON content were found. Value of δ13C at 0-30, 30-60 and 60-90 cm depths was -26.50, -26.36 and -26.23% respectively. This study conclude that, a low proportion of C was lost from the plantation soil , a long phase of C3 species dominated the soil before the establishment of the oil palm plantation and that frond heaps and large concentration of roots had a significant influence on OM (%), TOC (%), TON (%) and C/N ratio in the surface soil among the distances. The δ15N value in the top soil might be a useful indicator of the source and limited level of nitrogen in the area of study, however, further research is needed to confirm our observations

Digital Citizenship And Mental And Physical Well-Being Of Saudi Citizens

Background: The escalating integration of technology and digital platforms in the lives of individuals raises pertinent concerns regarding its impact on mental and physical well-being. This study aims to explore the association between Digital Citizenship and the well-being of Saudi citizens, considering the multifaceted dimensions of digital behavior and their potential consequences. Method: Employing a cross-sectional descriptive research design, data was collected from a diverse sample of 400 healthcare workers in the Jizan Region, KSA. The Digital Citizenship Scale was utilized to assess online behaviors, while the Short Form 12 (SF-12) Questionnaire gauged mental and physical well-being. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation, t-tests, and ANOVA were employed for data analysis. Results: The findings revealed a significant correlation between various facets of digital citizenship and mental and physical well-being. Responsible digital behaviors, such as online etiquette and security consciousness, correlated positively with enhanced well-being. Conversely, exposure to cyberbullying and security breaches was associated with lower well-being scores. Conclusion: The study underscores the vital role of responsible digital citizenship in shaping the mental and physical well-being of Saudi citizens. Promoting awareness and education regarding digital behaviors can contribute to a healthier online environment. Policymakers, educators, and healthcare professionals are encouraged to collaborate in integrating digital citizenship education and initiatives to safeguard the well-being of individuals in the digital age

Elemental composition of vegetables cultivated over coal-mining waste

ABSTRACT We assessed elemental composition of the liver in mice subjected to one-time or chronic consumption of the juice of vegetables cultivated in a vegetable garden built over deposits of coal waste. Lactuca sativa L. (lettuce), Beta vulgaris L. (beet), Brassica oleracea L. var. italica (broccoli) and Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala (kale) were collected from the coal-mining area and from a certified organic farm (control). Elemental composition was analyzed by particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) method. Concentrations of Mg, S, and Ca of mice subjected to one-time consumption of broccoli and concentrations of these same elements plus Si of mice receiving kale were higher in the coal-mining area. Concentrations of P, K, and Cu were increase after chronic consumption of lettuce from the coal-mining area, whereas the levels of Si, P, K, Fe, and Zn were higher in the group consuming kale from the coal-mining area. Our data suggests that people consuming vegetables grown over coal wastes may ingest significant amounts of chemical elements that pose a risk to health, since these plants contain both essential and toxic metals in a wide range of concentrations, which can do more harm than good

Impact of COVID-19 on cardiovascular testing in the United States versus the rest of the world

Objectives: This study sought to quantify and compare the decline in volumes of cardiovascular procedures between the United States and non-US institutions during the early phase of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the care of many non-COVID-19 illnesses. Reductions in diagnostic cardiovascular testing around the world have led to concerns over the implications of reduced testing for cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Methods: Data were submitted to the INCAPS-COVID (International Atomic Energy Agency Non-Invasive Cardiology Protocols Study of COVID-19), a multinational registry comprising 909 institutions in 108 countries (including 155 facilities in 40 U.S. states), assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of diagnostic cardiovascular procedures. Data were obtained for April 2020 and compared with volumes of baseline procedures from March 2019. We compared laboratory characteristics, practices, and procedure volumes between U.S. and non-U.S. facilities and between U.S. geographic regions and identified factors associated with volume reduction in the United States. Results: Reductions in the volumes of procedures in the United States were similar to those in non-U.S. facilities (68% vs. 63%, respectively; p = 0.237), although U.S. facilities reported greater reductions in invasive coronary angiography (69% vs. 53%, respectively; p < 0.001). Significantly more U.S. facilities reported increased use of telehealth and patient screening measures than non-U.S. facilities, such as temperature checks, symptom screenings, and COVID-19 testing. Reductions in volumes of procedures differed between U.S. regions, with larger declines observed in the Northeast (76%) and Midwest (74%) than in the South (62%) and West (44%). Prevalence of COVID-19, staff redeployments, outpatient centers, and urban centers were associated with greater reductions in volume in U.S. facilities in a multivariable analysis. Conclusions: We observed marked reductions in U.S. cardiovascular testing in the early phase of the pandemic and significant variability between U.S. regions. The association between reductions of volumes and COVID-19 prevalence in the United States highlighted the need for proactive efforts to maintain access to cardiovascular testing in areas most affected by outbreaks of COVID-19 infection
