0.01 M CaCl2 EXTRACTED NITROGEN FORMS IN THE SOILS OF HUNGARIAN LONG-TERM FERTILIZATION TRIAL NETWORK AND THEIR CORRELATION WITH WINTER WHEAT YIELDS

Soil nitrogen undergoes a series of chemical and biological transformations, which influence its availability to plant nutrition and the leaching losses. Methods for measuring various forms of nitrogen in soil are important in order to improve N management and to minimize losses of nutrients in soils. In the present study, 0.01 M CaCl2 extraction was used to determine the concentrations of ammonium, nitrate and organic N nitrogen, as these are closely related to the N mineralization potential of the soil and play a major role in nitrogen uptake by plants. Improving the precision of nitrogen management is essential for increasing the efficiency of production and minimizing potential losses of nitrogen in agriculture. A better knowledge of 0.01 M CaCl2 extracted nitrogen forms helps to improve the efficient use of fertilizers and organic manure. The study aimed at the optimization of the fertilizer recommendation system by considering the organic N content of soil as a measurement of site-specific mineralization potential. The 0.01 M CaCl2 extraction method measures amount of nitrate (NO3 - -N), ammonium (NH4 + -N) and organic-N compounds that are related to the transformation of nitrogen in the soil. The amount of nitrate (NO3 - N), ammonium (NH4 + -N) and organic N were measured 9 experimental sites of Hungarian LongTerm Fertilization Trial Network and knowledge of 0.01 M CaCl2 extractable nitrogen forms help environment friendly nitrogen fertilization. Based on the results of this paper, the introduction of 0.01 M CaCl2 extraction method may improve the efficient use of fertilizers and organic manure, without negative effects on the yield or the quality of produced crops. Taking costs into consideration, the 0.01 M CaCl2 extraction method is suitable for the routine analysis of measuring available nitrogen forms.
Fetal Health Anxiety: A Validity and Reliability Study of the Turkish Version of the Fetal Health Anxiety Inventory

Objective: In the present study, it was aimed to adapt the fetal health anxiety inventory (FHAI) into Turkish and to analyze the validity and reliability of the scale among pregnant women. Methods: Explanatory factor analysis (EFA) was applied to 370 pregnant women in Sample I and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied to 200 pregnant women in Sample II. The Prenatal Distress Questionnaire (NuPDQ) was used to test criterion-related validity of the FHAI. The reliability of the inventory was examined with Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient, item-total score correlation coefficient and test-retest analysis. Results: As a result of EFA applied to Sample I, it was determined that the 14-item FHAI covered a single factor, and the scale demonstrated good fit indices ( χ 2/standard deviation =3.148, comparative fit index =0.907, standardized root mean squared residual =0.000, root mean square error of approximation =0.089, and p value =0.000) as a result of the CFA applied to Sample II. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the FHAI and NuPDQ (r=0.851, p<0.01). Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient of the inventory was 0.85, and item-total score correlation coefficients were found to range between r=0.34-0.59 (p<0.001). In the test-retest analysis, a statistically significant and positive correlation was found between the total scores of
Challenges in Transition of Care for People with Variations in Sex Characteristics in the European Context

Objective: People with variations in sex characteristics (VSCs) have been receiving inadequate care for many decades. The Chicago consensus statement in 2006 aimed to introduce improved comprehensive care, which would include the transition of care from pediatric to adult services organized by multidisciplinary teams. Yet, the evidence for transitional care is scarce. The aim of this paper is to outline the delivery of transition of care for adolescents and young adults with VSCs. Method: Seven focus groups were conducted with health care professionals and peer support groups by care teams in Central, Northern, and Western Europe. The data from the focus groups were examined using reflexive thematic analysis. Results: Even though the transition of care has been implemented in the last two decades, it remains inadequate. There are differences among countries, as the quality of care depends on available resources and variations in sex characteristics. Moreover, there are significant hurdles to adequate transition of care, as there is lack of time and funding. The lack of adult care providers and psychosocial support often leaves young adults with VSCs to navigate the health care system alone. Conclusion: The outcome of the study shows that the transition of care is organized through the department of pediatric endocrinology. The quality of care varies due to resources and variations in sex characteristics. A lack of adult specialists, and especially psychosocial support, represents the biggest obstacle for young adults and adults in navigating the health care system and for improvements in the provision of health care to adults. There is a risk of re-traumatization, as adolescents and young adults must often repeat their medical history and educate adult care providers who are insufficiently trained and knowledgeable.
Uso dos produtos EVI do sensor MODIS para a estimativa de áreas de alta variabilidade intra e interanual no bioma Pantanal

Use of MODIS sensor EVI products to estimate areas of high intra and interannual variability in Pantanal Biome The main goal of this work is to estimate the areas with high annual e interannual variability of land use changes in the Pantanal biome from 2000 to 2008 period, through the multitemporal vegetation index product EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index) acquired from MODIS sensor (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer). EVI product is one of the most suitable vegetation index to study the variability in land-use changes. After acquisition of MOD13 images products (vegetation index product), the monthly averages, the average for dry season and annual average were performed and the principal components were extracted, segmented and classified to identify deforested areas. With the results, high variability areas that represent land-use changes were created for Brazilian Pantanal. Results showed that 11.7% of this biome has high variability, and the occurrence of these areas was located in regions with large influences of agricultural activities. Therefore, this study could better understanding and monitoring anthropogenic expansion and degradation.
Variáveis Condicionantes na Susceptibilidade de Incêndios Florestais no Parque Nacional do Itatiaia

The large number of wildfires which hits the National Park of Itatiaia (PNI) is a reason of preoccupation, because they change the landscape and cause flora and fauna lost. Thus, it becomes important to create a methodology that helps to identify factors that influence wildfire susceptibility. The objective of this work is to evaluate geomorphological variables (slope curvature, global solar radiation, slope and altitude) and weather (rainfal) in the wildfire events. To reach the objective a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generated from topographic maps was used, and rainfall data from three weather stations present in PNI or around. This DEM enabled the creation of geomorphological variables, and rainfall data enabled the calculation of the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). The values obtained were compared with the Reports of Fire Occurrence (ROI), and the results show that most significant geomorphologies variables were the slope curvature and global solar radiation. The SPI index introduced new temporal indicative to better understand the behavior of the occurrence of wildfires in PNI.
The parasitic worm product ES-62 protects against collagen-induced arthritis by resetting the gut-bone marrow axis in a microbiome-dependent manner

The parasitic worm-derived immunomodulator, ES-62 rescues defective levels of IL-10-producing regulatory B cells (Bregs) and suppresses chronic Th1/Th17-driven inflammation to protect against joint destruction in the mouse collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model of rheumatoid arthritis. Such autoimmune arthritis is also associated with dysbiosis of the gut microbiota and disruption of intestinal barrier integrity. We recently further exploited the CIA model to show that ES-62’s prevention of joint destruction is associated with protection of intestinal barrier integrity and normalization of the gut microbiota, thereby suppressing the gut pathology that precedes the onset of autoimmunity and joint damage in CIA-mice. As the status of the gut microbiota impacts on immune responses by influencing haematopoiesis, we have therefore investigated whether ES-62 harnesses the homeostatic mechanisms regulating this gut-bone marrow (BM) axis to resolve the chronic inflammation promoting autoimmunity and joint destruction in CIA. Reflecting this, ES-62 was found to counteract the BM myeloid/lymphoid bias typically associated with chronic inflammation and infection. This was achieved primarily by ES-62 acting to maintain the levels of lymphoid lineages (B220+ and CD3+ cells) observed in naïve, healthy mice but lost from the BM of CIA-mice. Moreover, ES-62’s ability to prevent bone-destroying osteoclastogenesis was found to be associated with its suppression of CIA-induced upregulation of osteoclast progenitors (OCPs) in the BM. Critically, and supporting ES-62’s targeting of the gut-BM axis, this rewiring of inflammatory haematopoiesis was lost in mice with a depleted microbiome. Underlining the importance of ES-62’s actions in restoring steady-state haematopoiesis, the BM levels of B and T lymphoid cells were shown to be inversely correlated, whilst the levels of OCPs positively correlated, with the severity of joint damage in CIA-mice.
Spatial Variation and Its Temporal Stability of Soil Water in Hilly Area of Sichuan Basin

Distribution characteristics of soil water and its temporal stability are important contents of soil water spatial variability and are considerably significant in further understanding spatial distribution in soil water.Soil moisture content at different layers(0～5 cm,5～10 cm,10～20 cm,20～30 cm,30～40 cm) was measured in a squre area(150 m×150 m). The spatial variability construction and distributing pattern were discussed by using the traditional statistics and geo-statistics.The temporal stability was analyzed by using temporal stability index.The results showed that the soil water content increased with soil depth.While the vertical variability of soil water content decreased with soil depth.The spatial distribution of soil water content at the experimental site was heterogeneous and anisotropic.Nugget effect,sill of soil water and spatial correlation were changing with time and soil layer.Soil water spatial variability was well described using the Gauss,exponential,spherical model.Spatial distribution of soil water,obtained with Kriging method,was found to remain similar during different time.The relative water contents were larger or less than 1,and the temporal stability decreased with depth.
Self-weight consolidation tests of the Río de la Plata sediments

Introduction As it is described in Been and Sills (1981) sediment particles and flocs suspended in the water column settle down as the flow velocity reduces. As material accumulates on the bottom, the pore space between the particles decreases and the water is expelled. This process is known as selfweight consolidation of the deposit. As the consolidation progresses, the sediment particles stop to behave as isolated particles in a suspension and start to behave as a soil where particle-particle interactions are relevant. Due to the large vertical deformations observed during the consolidation process, a simple laboratory 1D vertical test is usually used to analyse consolidation characteristics under motionless conditions (Migniot, 1989; Been and Sills, 1981; Samadi-Boroujeni et al., 2005). In this article we describe the sedimentation and self-weight consolidation tests carried on cohesive sediments extracted from five different locations in the Río de la Plata river-estuarine system (Fig. 1 left panel). The tests focused on the influence of mud composition, initial concentration and salinity on the self-weight consolidation process.
A culturally relevant education?

This article contributes to ongoing discussions on education for migrants as a form of integration policy and practice. It does so by investigating whether the initiative Civic Orientation for Newly Arrived Migrants in Sweden constitutes an example of culturally relevant education. Drawing on a mixed-method and multi-level analysis, we hone in on “values” as a discursive construction in order to see how particular principles are linked to Swedishness. Specifically, we show how values are discursively constructed on multiple levels through 1) a qualitative analysis of policy documents instrumental to the implementation of civic orientation; 2) a quantitative corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis of media articles; 3) individual interviews with 14 persons involved in organizing the civic orientation courses; and 4) ethnographic classroom observations from six such courses. Our results show how, on the one hand, Sweden is constructed as the most developed country in the world in terms of values and, on the other hand, migrants are portrayed as antithetical to such an ideal imagination. Furthermore, we show how a specific set of values – human rights and democracy – changes meaning from being universal to becoming particularized and nationalized as “Swedish”.
REASSESSING THE SCALE OF SOCIAL ACTION AT PUEBLO

Understanding the social system that developed in and around Chaco Canyon, New Mexico between A.D. 850 and 1150 is essential not only for reconstructions of that period, but also for explanations of subsequent social changes in the northern American Southwest. The size of the residential population of Chaco Canyon has long been recognized as a critical variable in any reconstruction of the Chaco phenomenon. In this study, I propose a method of estimating population levels in Chacoan great houses based on the identification of residential suites. Using this method, the residential use of Pueblo Bonito, the central and largest Chacoan great house, is shown to have been neither as intensive, nor perhaps even as continuous, as most researchers have presumed. Pueblo Bonito probably never contained more than 12 households, or about 70 people, yet at its peak it contained over 200 nonresidential rooms. It appears that the massive architecture of Pueblo Bonito does not reflect the scale of residential activity that occurred there, but may instead reflect the scale of social events hosted inside its walls.
Enhancing Global Health System Resilience and Sustainability Post-COVID-19: A Grounded Theory Approach

Based on a grounded theory approach to healthcare professionals’ experience, this study conducted a qualitative assessment of new opportunities and provided a conceptual justification of forward-looking trends of global health system efficiency improvement and resilience toward universal health in the post-COVID-19 era. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, while theoretical saturation was reached after 20 interviews with international experts in Global Health System Resilience (psychologists, nurses, and community health consultants). The data were analyzed using four coding stages: initial, focused, axial, and theoretical. The results showed that to achieve global health system resilience toward universal health and safety coverage in the post-COVID-19 era, it is required to develop a strategy including the support of healthcare professionals, which allows coping with the emotional and psychological impact of the pandemic. Moreover, opportunities for professional development and collaboration can enhance their resilience and adaptability during and after crises. The findings suggest factors of global health system resilience ranked using the AHP method. The present research provides a valuable insight into the significance of telemedicine, remote care, and ensuring the safety of the healthcare industry and patients as the most crucial factors for enhancing health system sustainability. This article provides new policy recommendations to ensure the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of health systems. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-06-011 Full Text: PDF
Evaluation of MRMS Snowfall Products over the Western United States

AbstractSnow is important to water resources and is of critical importance to society. Ground-weather-radar-based snowfall observations have been highly desirable for large-scale weather monitoring and water resources applications. This study conducts an evaluation of the Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) quantitative estimates of snow rate using the Snowpack Telemetry (SNOTEL) daily snow water equivalent (SWE) datasets. A detectability evaluation shows that MRMS is limited in detecting very light snow (daily snow accumulation <5 mm) because of the quality control module in MRMS filtering out weak signals (<5 dBZ). For daily snow accumulation greater than 10 mm, MRMS has good detectability. The quantitative comparisons reveal a bias of −77.37% between MRMS and SNOTEL. A majority of the underestimation bias occurs in relatively warm conditions with surface temperatures ranging from −10° to 0°C. A constant reflectivity–SWE intensity relationship does not capture the snow mass flux increase associated with den.
Correcting campaign misinformation: Experimental evidence from a two-wave panel study

In this study, we used a two-wave panel and a real-world intervention during the 2017 UK general election to investigate whether fact-checking can reduce beliefs in an incorrect campaign claim, source effects, the duration of source effects, and how predispositions including political orientations and prior exposure condition them. We find correction effects in the short term only, but across different political divisions and various prior exposure levels. We discuss the significance of independent fact-checking sources and the UK partisan press in facilitating effects.
The Contribution of Interdisciplinarity to the Development of Competencies for WorkRelated Mental Health in Primary Health Care

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the process of developing competencies for working with WorkRelated Mental Health (WRMH) in primary health care. The research is anchored on a referential that discusses the notion of competencies and their development in a contextualized way, stemming from the interpretivist paradigm. Additionally, it resorts to discussions about interdisciplinarity, social determinants of health processes, and WRMH in primary care. The research has a qualitative approach. The data were produced through semi-structured interviews, which were recorded, transcribed, and subjected to thematic content analysis, with a posteriori categorization. The results show little inclusion of WRMH in primary care, a lack of integration between sectors and professionals and the existence of some actions developed in an interdisciplinary way. The competency development strategies foster interdisciplinarity but do not adequately address the mental health of workers who use the services. This study provides an indepth look at the relationships between interdisciplinarity and competency development in WRMH. It is concluded that interdisciplinarity contributes to the development of competencies, while at the same time it is an important competence for performance in primary care. The concept of competence linked to the professional category, the influence of disciplinary training, and the scarcity of resources limit the use of interdisciplinarity in the development of competencies, especially regarding WRMH, which is considered the responsibility of specialized areas.
The current vegetation restoration effect and its influence mechanism on the sediment and runoff yield in severe erosion area of Yellow River Basin

Since 2000, the vegetation restoration has been significant in the Loess Plateau. Almost concurrently, the measured sediment discharge of the main stem of the Yellow River has been significantly reduced. Based on the vegetation information from remote sensing images from end of 1970s to 2013, this paper introduced the concepts of erodible area, forest and grassland proportion, vegetation coverage and the percentage of effective vegetation, and analyzed the vegetation change of scale, coverage and type. By introducing the concepts of percentage of effective vegetation, sediment yield coefficient and runoff yield coefficient, the sediment and flood yield for different vegetation conditions were discussed at the watershed scale, revealed the reasons for dramatically runoff and sediment yield reduction in the study area. The results showed that compared with the late 1970s, the vegetation just changed a little before 1998. While the vegetation coverage increased from 11%-25% to 35%-55% during 1998 to 2013, this vegetation improvement process is also the sensitive stage of vegetation change and sediment yield. High sediment concentration floods would still be the common flood of tributaries in the Loess plateau in future, while the sediment concentration would be reduced.
High-Mg carbonatitic HDFs, kimberlites and the SCLM

The story of diamonds is interwoven with that of kimberlitic volcanism (Gurney et al., 2010), but the genetic relationship between them has been debated ever since kimberlite was first identified. At first, diamonds were believed to be phenocrysts from early crystallization phases of the kimberlitic magma (Dawson, 1971; Harte, 1980). However, evidence for deep lithospheric pressures for the entrapment of inclusions (see reviews by Meyer, 1987; Stachel and Harris, 2008), the occurrence of diamonds in lamproites and mantle xenoliths, and the recognition that most diamonds are much older than their host kimberlite (Richardson et al., 1984; Gurney et al., 2010) has led to a consensus that most diamonds are xenocrysts in kimberlites. The case for a kimberlitic origin was still raised for fibrous diamonds (Javoy et al., 1984; Boyd et al. 1987). However, the compositions of the high-density fluids (HDFs) they have trapped indicate that they are xenocrysts as well. Navon et al. (1988) pointed out a broad similarity in majorelement composition between the fluids trapped in fibrous diamonds and the bulk compositions of Group II kimberlites, and suggested a genetic link at depth. A general similarity between the trace-element abundance patterns of HDFs and kimberlites was noted first by Akagi and Masuda (1988) and later by Schrauder et al. (1996) Zedgenizov et al. (2007), Tomlinson et al. (2009) and Rege et al. (2010), but no attempt has been made to test this idea quantitatively. In the present work we compare the trace-element data of high-Mg carbonatitic HDFs from Kankan, Guinea, and Udachnaya, Sibiria, with that of kimberlites and consider models for a possible genetic links between them.
