New constrains on the Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the northern Xinjiang area

Based on our new geological investigation in the northern Xinjiang,a tectonic model of three Plates with two Belts and complex evolutionary history inversion from ocean to continent are revealed here. According to the evidence of geology,geophysics and detrital zircon U-Pb dating,a Precambrian block existing in southern Junggar Basin is recognized. By re-defining and re-interpreting the various tectonic units,this paper presents a new,improved standpoint for the tectonic characteristics of eastern Junggar and western Junggar. The eastern Junggar is a well-exposed accretionary wedge stretch from Mayebo in southeastern of Ertix tectonic belt to Wucaiwan in southern Kalamyli tectonic belt,and western Junggar is also a accretionary wedge developing from eastern Ertix tectonic belt to southern margin of Xiemishitai. Integrating our new field observations and interpretation of geological data from key areas,we suggest that the formation of Kazakhstan Plate in Early Paleozoic was caused by amalgamation between the Junggar-Tuha,Central Tianshan and Yili blocks,which define the Early Paleozoic orogeny in northern Xinjiang. According to the Devonian stratigraphy and sedimentary environments,the evolution of the ocean to the north of the Kazakhstan Plate from Early Devonian to Late Devonian is discussed,and the closure time of the ocean is identified in Late Devonian. On the other hand,this paper aims to amplify current understanding of the southern Tianshan Belt by describing it as a huge accretionary wedge,and the southern most suture zone between Siberia-Kazakhstan Union Plate and Tarim Plate which possibly closed at the end of the Early Carboniferous. Therefore,this paper presents an improved model for Late Paleozoic evolution of the northern Xinjiang area,which is a model of three Plates with two Belts.After the formation of the Kazakhstan Plate,there exist the Siberia Plate to the north,the Kazakhstan Plate in the middle and the Tarim Plate to the south,which was separated by the Junggar Belt and South Tianshan Belt,respectively. The collision between the Siberia Plate and Kazakhstan Plate occurred at about the latest Devonian,which formed the Siberia-Kazakhstan union Plate. Then the union Plate collide with the Tarim Plate possibly occurred at the end of the Early Carboniferous,which remark the terminal time of the oceancontinental transformation of Paleo-Asia Ocean in China. From Late Carboniferous to Early Permian,the whole northern Xinjiang area evolved into a continental extension and rift with thick piles of basaltic lavas and subordinate intermediate-silicis lavas.
Brief report Diet of the Montagu’s Harrier Circus pygargus nesting in natural habitat in Eastern Spain

We describe the diet of the Montagu’s Harrier ( Circus pygargus ) population breeding in inland Castellón province (eastern Spain), which exhibits among the highest breeding productivity of European populations of this species. We assessed diet using pellets collected at nests at the end of the breeding season. We recorded the minimum number of items in every pellet for six prey classes (lizards, passerines, small mammals, cole-opterans, orthopterans and other insects). We also analyzed between-year relationships in diet diversity and breeding output at the nest level. The most frequently eaten prey were insects, particularly large orthopterans of the family Acrididae. Passerines were also abundant in the diet and contributed more than 50% of the consumed biomass. We found no significant between-year relationship in breeding output and diet diversity at the nest level. Further studies on prey availability in different habitat types would be needed in order to understand how land-use changes affect the Montagu’s Harrier population.
Modeling future dissolved oxygen and temperature proﬁles in small temperate lake trout lakes

Climate warming has been projected to alter the habitat ranges of cold-water fish species. To numerically model these changes, a simple dissolved oxygen (DO) sub-model has been embedded into a one-dimensional thermodynamic lake-tile model that simulates small unresolved lakes within the land surface scheme of a climate model. To account for the lack of monitoring data for most small lakes, respiration, photosynthetic production, and sediment oxygen demand were parameterized as functions of simulated light intensity, water temperature and the DO concentration. The model predicted the temperature and DO profiles with root-mean-square error <1.5 °C and <3 mg L -1 , respectively, in two Canadian Boreal lakes. Simulations of future (2071-2100) lake conditions predict a warming-induced reduction in the strength of seasonal lake turnover events occurring for RCP 2.6, and consequently long periods of hypolimnetic hypoxia. Further reductions in DO for RCP 4.5 and 8.6 were negligible. This will reduce the end-of-summer volume weighted hypolimnetic dissolved oxygen concentration from ~6 mg L -1 during 1978-2005 to ~1 mg L -1 during 2071-2100 (average of 3 RCPs), well below the 7 mg L -1 provincial standard for juvenile lake trout.
Investigating the Effect of Perceived Organizational Support and Organizational Culture Towards Indonesian Private Employee's Organizational Commitment The Role of Gender as Moderating Variable

There are changes that occur in the community order, also impacting aspects in a corporate organization, one of which is in terms of meeting the needs of a more decent workforce. The fulfillment of these needs can be realized through the support of organizations and culture of organizations or companies that affect employee loyalty. Organizational Culture and Organizational Support in Private Company Employees or Productive Working Age was examined in this study whether it has a relationship and influence on organizational commitment. Research uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Data collection in the form of surveys using questionnaires obtained samples from the study as many as 491 respondents sampled Employees of Private Companies Productive Age Work. The results of this study mentioned that perceived organizational support and organizational culture have a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment. In addition, moderation testing showed that gender is able to moderate organizational culture relationships towards organizational commitment. In contrary, gender does not moderate the relationship between organizational support towards organizational commitment. The discovery expands the literature's study of gender differences, commitment and employee loyalty.
Epstein-Barr Virus–Positive Plasma Cell Neoplasms in Immunocompetent Patients

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive plasma cell neoplasms (PCNs) in immunocompetent patients are a rare entity, the clinicopathological and prognostic features of which have not been well characterized. Fifteen cases of EBV-positive PCN arising in immunocompetent patients from south China were retrospectively analyzed, and an additional 44 cases from the literature were reviewed. The overall EBV-positive rate defined by EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) in-situ hybridization of PCNs was 12.3% (15/122), and it was significantly higher in plasmacytoma (17.1%, 13/76) than in plasma cell myeloma/multiple myeloma (4.3%, 2/46; P=0.031). The age of the patients ranged from 17 to 79 years, with a median age of 56 years. There was a large preponderance of men, with a male-to-female ratio of 4:1. Solitary plasmacytoma of bone (23.8%, 5/21) had comparable EBV-encoded small RNAs-positive rates with extramedullary plasmacytoma arising in the upper respiratory tract (19.5%, 8/41; P=0.949). Anaplastic and classic cytologic appearance was observed in 61.5% (8/13) and 38.5% (5/13) of EBV-positive plasmacytomas, respectively. Cases with an anaplastic cytologic appearance had a significantly higher Ki-67 proliferation index than those with a classic cytologic appearance (median: 55% vs. 10%, P=0.001). In the combined cohorts, anaplastic/plasmablastic cytologic appearance was significantly more common in extramedullary plasmacytoma arising in the upper respiratory tract (72.0%, 18/25) than outside the upper respiratory tract (11.1%, 1/9; P=0.006). Among the 59 cases of EBV-positive PCN, survival data of 34 cases were available for analysis, including 30 cases of plasmacytoma and 4 cases of plasma cell myeloma/multiple myeloma. There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival between patients with EBV-positive plasmacytomas in the combined cohorts and EBV-negative plasmacytomas in the present cohort. The prevalence of EBV in PCN in immunocompetent patients varies according to histologic subtype and tumor location. Compared with EBV-negative cases, EBV-positive plasmacytomas tend to have an anaplastic/plasmablastic cytologic appearance. No significant impact of EBV infection on clinical outcomes is observed in the limited number of reported cases.
Who Benefits from Corporate Tax Cuts? Evidence from Banks and Credit Unions around the TCJA ∗

The TCJA of 2017 made large changes to the taxation of corporate and pass-through businesses in the U.S. Understanding the effects of these changes is complicated by the difficulty of finding control firms whose taxation was not altered by the Act. We study the effect of the TCJA on small and medium size banks using credit unions–which compete with these banks for deposits and in making loans–as a novel control group. Credit unions were not taxed both before and after the Act. Using a difference-in-difference framework, we find that an important fraction of the incidence of the tax cut goes to depositors. We find little evidence that employees or borrowers from banks receive a share of the tax cut in the form of higher wages or lower interest rates on loans or that banks increase their investment in fixed assets as a result of the Act.
Nanoparticle transport in biomimetic polymer‐linked emulsions

The ability of nanoparticles to penetrate and transport through soft tissues is essential to delivering therapeutics to treat diseases or signaling agents for advanced imaging and sensing. Nanoparticle transport in biological systems, however, is challenging to predict and control due to the physicochemical complexity of tissues and biological fluids. Here, we demonstrate that nanoparticles suspended in a novel class of soft matter—polymer‐linked emulsions (PLEs)—exhibit characteristics essential for mimicking transport in biological systems, including subdiffusive dynamics, non‐Gaussian displacement distributions, and decoupling of dynamics from material viscoelasticity. Using multiple particle tracking, we identify the physical mechanisms underlying this behavior, which we attribute to a coupling of nanoparticle dynamics to fluctuations in the local network of polymer‐linked droplets. Our findings demonstrate the potential of PLEs to serve as fully synthetic mimics of biological transport.
Human Performance Enhancement in Sports and Exercise: Nutritional Factors – Protein

espanolPor anos se ha dado un acalorado debate entre los nutricionistas deportivos sobre la pregunta “? Los hombres y mujeres que son atletas necesitan mas proteina en su dieta diaria que los individuos no-atletas? ” Las investigaciones de las ultimas decadas han dado evidencia de que la respuesta a esa pregunta es “si”. Los requerimientos de proteina tanto en los atletas de fuerza como en los de resistencia puede ser aproximadamente de 1.5 a 2.0 veces mayor que lo recomendado para un adulto (0.8 gramos de proteina alimenticia por quilogramo de masa corporal por dia). La cantidad exacta dependera de una variedad de factores, tales como el tipo y modalidad del ejercicio, la intensidad y duracion del ejercicio, el sexo, si la persona es vegetariana, su edad y su salud. Este articulo trata las recomendaciones para losa requisitos diarios de proteina de los atletas y aquellos factores que deben ser considerados por los atletas y sus entrenadores respecto al consumo de aminoacidos-proteina en la tentativa de perfeccionar el desempeno del ejercicio. EnglishFor years there has been tremendous debate by sports nutritionist over the question – “Do men and women who are athletes need more protein in their daily diet than non-athletic individuals? ” Research over the last few decades has provided evidence to answer that question with a “yes”. The protein needs of both strength and endurance athletes can be approximately 1.5 to 2.0 times higher than the present adult recommended dietary allowance (0.8 grams dietary protein per kilogram if body mass per day). The exact amount is depended upon a variety factors; such as, type-mode of exercise, intensity-duration of exercise, gender, whether someone is a vegetarian, age, and health. This article discusses the recommendations for the daily protein needs of athletes and those factors that need to be considered by athletes and their coaches with respect to amino acid - protein consumption in an attempt to improve exercise performance.
Reading and Scholarly Creativity: A Study with Spanish and Chilean Preservice Teachers

The main aim of this study is to analyse whether scholarly creativity can be linked to the reading process (reading preferences and reading metacognition) of preservice teachers. The research was carried out using a quantitative, descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 254 Spanish and Chilean preservice teachers, who were administered online three previously validated questionnaires on creative self-perception, reading preferences and reading strategies. Both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis have been used. The results show a medium-high level of reading metacognition, with a preference for the use of problem-solving strategies while reading and for reading in digital format for academic purposes. There were statistically significant differences both in reading preferences, strategies and creative self-perception according to country (with Chilean students scoring higher in all of them), but no differences were found according to gender. There were positive correlations between creative self-perception in the scholarly domain and reading preferences (=.275 for academic digital and =.433 for academic print) and metacognition (=.445). Academic reading in printed format and global reading metacognition were also found to be significant predictors of self-perception in scholarly creativity, which support the theories of the need of skills in a specific domain to be able to develop creativity in such domain. The study concludes by assessing the implications of this relationship between reading and creativity, proposing the suitability of promoting both metacognitive reflections on the way to consolidating a learning focusing on the process, especially important in the case of future teachers. Keywords: reading preferences, reading metacognition, scholarly creativity, preservice teacher
First record of Fusarium brachygibbosum as a causal agent of seed decay and damping-off disease on cotton in Iraq and Control using some bioagents

The results of the isolation and identification of pathogens accompanying the symptomatic seeds and seedlings of cotton showed that the most common fungus was Fusarium brachygibbosum. Molecular identification of the studied fungus was performed using the universal primers: the results of the genetic analysis revealed the identities of the fungus as follows: a 100% identity for F. brachygibbosum that was deposited at the GenBank under accession number ON738702.1. This fungus has shown high pathogenicity against cotton seeds and seedlings by severely reducing their Germination and growth and treating cotton seeds with the biological factors of Trichoderma spp. It revealed a high efficiency in reducing disease incidence and increasing cotton germination percentage. Trichoderma viride showed the highest ability to increase seed germination to 94.44%. In comparison, the lowest ability reached 77.77 % in Trichoderma pseudokoningii and Trichoderma reesei—the results of extracting toxins from the filters of Trichoderma spp. The study's use of trichodermin and Gliotoxin showed the presence of trichodermin and Gliotoxin in large quantities. The percentage of toxin inhibition was significant against the growth of pathogenic fungi. The highest percentage of inhibition was 86.1% for the isolate Trichoderma koningiopsis, and the lowest percentage was 66.65% for the isolate Trichoderma reesei. As for the effect of isolates of resistant fungus on the Pathogen in the field, the highest germination rate was 100%, and the inhibition rate was 0.00% when using the biological preparation prepared from the isolates (T. viride, T. pseudokoningii, T. koningiopsis and T. reesei). Keywords: Fusarium brachygibbosum; Trichoderma spp. ; Trichodermin; gliotoxin; Biological control.
Profiling of Aedes Mosquito Breeding Sites at Residential Construction Sites in Malaysia

Introduction: Poor waste management led to mosquito breeding grounds. Previous research found that construction sites are the mosquito breeding area thus it’s important to understand how construction sites affect mosquito breeding. Methods: This study utilized a prospective study to determine the characteristic of breeding preference in residential construction sites. On-field breeding preference survey was conduct in the selected project site in 12 weeks (1st October 2021 until 31st December 2021). Wet container inspection was carried out according to types of the residential construction building and progress of the site. All possible wet materials and containers was inspected and record accordingly in the form during the surveillance. Results: Result shows that the most preferred containers found was building floor (41.68%), others such as planter box that use for landscape purpose, drainage system, building mould and lift wells. The results of the research indicate that prospective containers with water and breeding sites at high rise construction sites were found to be more than those at low rise construction sites. Conclusion: Overall, substantially fewer water containers were discovered in low rise projects compared to high rise projects. Construction management need encourage all the workers to do best management practice such as proper waste disposal and removal of the water and possible wet container and conduct awareness among the workers.
Cracking Characteristics and Mechanism of Internal Components of Large-Span Shield Tunnel

With the ever-increasing number of large-span shield tunneling projects and the extended operational time, their distinctive internal component issues are becoming more pronounced and exhibiting unique characteristics. In order to reveal the cracking mechanism of concrete on the top of the middle partition wall, based on a large-span shield tunnel section of Nanjing Metro, the crack mode, distribution characteristics, and cracking process of concrete inside tunnel structure were studied by combined field investigation and extended finite element analysis. The results showed that: (1) there were 96 cracks of concrete on the top of the middle partition wall in the interval. Based on the propagation path, number, and shape of cracks, they could be divided into type I, II, III, Y, and Z, with type-Y and type-Z being subtypes of type-I. (2) The crack started at the opposite side of horizontal differential displacement of the flue plate. The development curves of the length and end width of type-I and type-II cracks showed the significant characteristics of three stages. The relationship between crack end width and length was nonlinear, showing that 250 and 225 mm, respectively, were the critical crack lengths growing with the rapid growth of the end width of type-I and type-II cracks. (3) In type-II cracks, the propagation curves of two cracks under the same working condition were consistent, and the spacing of plate joints greatly influenced the length and slope of each stage of the curve. For type-III cracks, the first crack propagation process was basically consistent with type-I and type-II cracks, and the propagation of the other two cracks had obvious brittle characteristics.
The Therapeutic Potential of Cannabidiol in Revolutionising Opioid Use Disorder Management

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and is linked to a complex interplay of biopsychosocial factors as well as the increasing overprescription and availability of opioid medications. Current OUD management relies on the controlled provision of opioid medications, such as methadone or buprenorphine, known as opioid replacement therapy. There is variable evidence regarding the long-term efficacy of these medications in improving the management of OUD, thereby necessitating an exploration into innovative approaches to complement, or even take the place of, existing treatment paradigms. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound derived from the cannabis plant, has garnered attention for its diverse pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects. Preliminary studies suggest that CBD may target opioid withdrawal pathways that make CBD a potential therapeutic option for OUD. This narrative review synthesises current literature surrounding OUD and offers a nuanced review of the current and future role of CBD in managing this condition. In doing so, we highlight the potential avenues to explore with respect to CBD research for the guidance and development of further research opportunities, framework and policy development, and clinical considerations before medicinal CBD can be integrated into evidence-based clinical guidelines.
