Social Value Chain Analysis: The Case of Tuna Value Chain in Three South Central Provinces of Vietnam

This paper presents the outputs of a Ministry of Science and Technology-funded national research project on fisheries value chain entitled “Developing Feasible and Comprehensive Policies for Sustainable Fisheries Development in Vietnam” completed in 2019. It was carried out to map the Vietnamese tuna value chain in terms of value chain description, including actors, material flows, volume, knowledge and information, relationships, linkages and trust, and values at different levels of the chain. The point of entry for undertaking this analysis was to identify specific income increasing interventions for fishers to achieve the project objective of better management of tuna fisheries and to improve socio-economic conditions of tuna fishing communities in Vietnam. Three South Central provinces of Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa were chosen for the investigation of the tuna value chain. This study was completed in four main phases, which consist of interview surveys, focus group discussions, individual key informant interviews, and a validation workshop. Four hundreds fishers, nineteen middlemen and traders, five processors, three wholesalers, and eight retailers were interviewed in the three investigated provinces during 2018. Several policy recommendations to increase the income and improve the position of fishers in the tuna value chain were proposed, which include (i) the collaboration among fishers to take advantage of purchasing input materials; (ii) the improvements on the handling and maintenance of tuna quality to increase fishers’ income; (iii) the establishment of tuna auction center to decrease financial detriment to fishers, increase their access to public and transparent market information, and strengthen their position in the chain; (iv) the formulation of savings, credit, and microfinance schemes to diversify forms of capital access for fishers; (v) the suggestion on a fair share of profits among shipowners, captains and cruise workers to reduce the vulnerability of the poor and increase the incentive for properly managing the tuna fisheries in Vietnam.
SPOROGONY OF SARCOCYSTIS IDAHOENSIS IN THE GOPHER SNAKE, PITUOPHIS MELANOLEUCUS (DAUDIN)*t

Sporogony of oocysts of Sarcocystis idahoensis was observed in tissue sections and in smears made from intestinal scrapings of seven gopher snakes, Pituophis melanoleucus, killed 9 to 26 days after ingestion (inoculation) (DAI) of deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus, previously inoculated with sporo- cysts of S. idahoensis. Oocysts underwent sporogony within the epithelial cells throughout the small and anterior large intestine, generally at the level of the basement membrane. Following oocyst wall formation and during sporont condensation, eosinophilic material was seen at the sporont poles. The eosinophilic material remained apparent during sporoblast formation and later appeared to be distributed evenly around the sporocyst. The first nuclear division was followed immediately by a second nuclear division which was simultaneous with cytokinesis. The resulting two sporoblasts contained two nuclei each. Upon com- pletion of sporocyst wall formation, the ellipsoidal sporocysts contained two polar nuclei each. Further development resulted in the formation of four sporozoites per sporocyst. Fully sporulated oocysts were found in intestinal epithelial cells at 23 DAI and in the intestinal lumen at 26 DAI. The oocyst wall apparently broke down in the intestinal lumen, releasing the sporocysts.
Studies on the Anemia of Fish-IX

Hypochromic microcytic anemia of crucian carp due to infestation with a trematode, Diplozoon nipponicum, was studied. Host fish were obtained from the river Asakawa. Investigations were carried out 4 times during the period from October 1975 to September 1976. A high incidence of infestation with this parasite was noted in all samples. Infection rates ranged between 60 and 80% in small fish, and in larger fish the level reached 100%. The hemoglobin levels of the host fish decreased with increasing numbers of parasites and the relationships between them appeared approximately linear. In anemic fish, all hematological indices decreased. Thus, the anemia was categorized as a hypochromic microcytic anemia. The anemia was characterized by a high percentage of immature erythrocytes. Exposure to a concentration of 1.0 ppm of Trichlorfon (DEP) for 48 hrs proved to be highly effective in eliminating this parasite.
Cross-Domain Adversarial Autoencoder for Fine Grained Category Preserving Image Translation

Cross-domain image translation attempt to translate images from one domain to another domain, with the content of images preserved. Current approaches treat image’s content as the underlying spatial structure, and translation only change image’s style of color and texture. These methods can generate realistic results, but may not be able to preserve image’s fine grained semantic category information and suffer from the lack of diversity in objects’ shapes and viewing angles. In this paper, we propose the problem of fine grained category preserving image translation that aims at preserving image’s fine grained category information in cross-domain translation. A novel framework called Cross-Domain Adversarial AutoEncoder (CDAAE) is proposed to solve the problem. CDAAE assumes that cross-domain images have shared content-latent-code space and separate style-latent-code spaces. The content latent code encodes image’s basic category information, while the style latent code represents other domain-specific properties, including color, texture, shape, etc. Our experiments evaluate models from aspects of image’s quality, diversity as well as category preserving ability, showing CDAAE’s advantages over current methods. We also design an algorithm to apply CDAAE to domain adaptation. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art results.
Recurrent Unprovoked Venous Thrombosis (Cerebral Sinus Thrombosis and Mesenteric Vein Thrombosis) in Young Patient with Crohn's Disease: A Case Report and Review

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients have a higher risk of thrombosis. Most data about thrombosis in inflammatory bowel disease are related mainly to inpatients with disease activity, but in this article, we report one case of inflammatory bowel disease with two different sites of venous thrombosis which happened in a patient with nonactive IBD at an outpatient setting.
Precision and practical usefulness of intraoral scanners in implant dentistry: A systematic literature review

Background This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of digital impression techniques for implant-supported restorations, and to assess their economic feasibility. Material and Methods Two independent electronic database searches were conducted in the Pubmed/MedLine, Cochrane Library, and Lilacs databases complimented by a manual search, selecting relevant clinical and in vitro studies published between 1st January 2009 and 28st February 2019. All type of studies (in vivo and in vitro) were included in this systematic review. Results Twenty-seven studies (8 in vivo and 19 in vitro studies) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. No meta-analysis was performed due to a large heterogeneity of the study protocols. The passive fit of superstructures on dental implants presented similar results between digital and conventional impression techniques. The studies considered that several factors influence the accuracy of implant impression taking: distance and angulation between implants, depth of placement, type of scanner, scanning strategy, characteristics of scanbody, and operator experience. Regarding the economic viability of intraoral scanning systems, only one study reported any benefit in comparison with conventional techniques. Conclusions Digital impressions of dental implants can be considered a viable alternative in cases of one or two contiguous dental implants. However, more studies are needed to evaluate the accuracy of digital techniques in full-arch implant-supported restorations. Key words:Intraoral scanner, dental implant, prosthesis, misfit, systematic review.
Revision of the genus Hantzschia (Bacillariophyceae) Eunotia on Livingston Island (South Shetland Islands, Southern Atlantic Ocean)

Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) are one of the most abundant groups of micro-algae present in the Antarctic Region, both in terms of number of species and of number of individuals (Jones 1996, Van de Vijver & Beyens 1999). The past ten years, the taxonomy of the Antarctic non-marine diatom flora has been thoroughly revised resulting in the description of a large number of new species (a.o. Van de Vijver et al. 2002, Van de Vijver & Mataloni 2008, Van de Vijver et al. 2010). An important part of these revisions focused on the typical terrestrial genera Luticola, Muelleria and Diadesmis. This is not surprising since one of the principal biomes in the Antarctic Region is formed by large, terrestrial ice-free areas, fellfields, wet soils, seepage areas and rocks. The soils of these areas form a suitable habitat for a large variety of terrestrial diatoms. Diatoms living in these habitats are welladapted to survive the sometimes severe conditions such as a continuously changing soil humidity and freeze-thaw cycles. Apart from the above-mentioned (already revised) genera, two other terrestrial genera form large populations within the Antarctic Region: Eunotia and Hantzschia. The present paper revises the taxonomy of the genus Hantzschia, based on observations made during a survey of the non-marine diatom flora of Livingston Island. Several unknown Hantzschia species were observed, that could not be assigned to any of the already described taxa. Five taxa will be described as new to science whereas three others are illustrated. The genus Hantzschia is a relatively small genus with less than fifty species known worldwide, occurring in a wide variety of habitats ranging from freshwater to terrestrial and even intertidal and marine environments (Round et al. 1990). Described in 1877 by Grunow, the genus, belonging to the family Bacillariaceae, is characterized by a typical asymmetrical valve outline with usually a more convex dorsal side and a concave ventral side, the presence of uniseriate striae composed of small rounded areolae containing hymenes, a raphe that is subtended by fibulae and a complex girdle structure (Round et al. 1990). Species within the genus are separated based on number of striae and areolae per stria, the position and shape of the fibulae, the shape of the external and internal proximal raphe endings and the shape of the valve apices. Hantzschia amphioxys (Ehrenb.) Grunow is considered to be the most common and well known species in this genus, living almost exclusively in (semi-wet) soils. The spe-
The sumoylation and neddylation networksin Aspergillus nidulans development

Proteins can be post-translationally modified by the attachment of members of the ubiquitin-like protein family which requires the action of three enzymatic steps. The protein becomes activated by an E1 enzyme, transferred to an E2 enzyme and bound to the target with the help of E3 ligases. The modification of substrates with ubiquitin-like proteins can be reversed by isopeptidases. Nedd8 and Sumo are members of this protein family. Both proteins are conserved in the model organism Aspergillus nidulans. Whereas deletion of the nedd8 homolog neddH leads to cell death, the fungus can survive SumO deficiency but displays defects in sexual and asexual development. In this work, the two-component NeddH E3 ligase DcnA/RbxA was investigated. DcnA displays in vivo interactions with the neddylation machinery. Deletion of the gene leads to a moderate reduction of cullin neddylation levels but does not have consequences on fungal development. The RING finger protein RbxA has ligase activity towards NeddH and ubiquitin. A deletion of the corresponding gene leads to cell death. In a previous study with a strain deficient in the NeddH isopeptidase CSN, developmental relevant substrate adaptors of the SCF ubiquitin E3 ligase complexes (Fbox proteins) were identified. In this work it was found that the biochemical enrichment of Fbox15 was not due to a general stabilization of the protein but likely to an arrest of a subportion of an Fbox15 containing SCF complex. In addition, the process of sumoylation was investigated in A. nidulans. Only a small subpopulation of proteins is sumoylated under normal growth conditions. To enrich SumO modified proteins, the genes for the two SumO isopeptidases UlpA and UlpB were deleted. Biochemical experiments in wild type and an UlpA deficient strain lead to the identification of a complex SumO network. This includes besides the sumoylating enzymes (E1, E2 and E3), histone modifying enzymes and complexes, transcriptional regulators, proteins involved in RNA maturation or stress response, as well as cross-talk with the processes of ubiquitination and neddylation. An interface of sumoylation and histone modification is the COMPASS complex which is involved in histone methylation. To better understand the role of the complex in the regulation of fungal development, the core subunit SetA was deleted. The resulting strain displayed defects in early sexual development, colony growth and secondary metabolism. Additionally, SetA is important for proper positioning of the asexual spore producing units.
Biochar: a potential route for recycling of phosphorus in agricultural residues

Phosphorus (P) is a finite and dwindling resource, while an enormous amount of P flows to agricultural residues with increasing agricultural production. Therefore, the recycling of P in agricultural residues is critical for P sustainability in agricultural systems, which is dominated by the route of direct land application. Biochar production from agricultural residues and its subsequent land application have been suggested as solutions for waste biomass disposal, carbon sequestration, soil amendment/remediation, and crop production promotion. However, little attention has been paid to the contrasting effects of the land application of biochar vs. agricultural residues on the recycling of P accumulated in agricultural residues. Phosphorus in agricultural residues can be retained and transformed into stable forms of P in the resulting biochar. Thus, compared to agricultural residues, biochar provides lower amounts of labile P and releases its P more slowly while providing a long‐lasting P source, and the loss potential of P from biochar is reduced by low mobility of its P, indicating that biochar‐based P recycling route could substantially promote P recycling by acting as sustainable P source and diminishing the loss of P applied to soil.
Comparison of Dustfall and Total Suspended Particulate Generation from Latosol Soil from Padang and Bandar Lampung Municipalities

One of the main environmental pollution is air quality deterioration caused by the generation of dustfall and TSP from soil surface. The purpose of this research was to measure dustfall and TSP generation from Latosol soil in Padang and Bandar Lampung municipalities, to analysis the correlation between dustfall and TSP generation as affected by wind speed, soil moisture content and land cover and to determine emission factor of dustfall and TSP generation. The study was conducted based on SNI 13-4703-1998 and SNI 19-7119.3-2005. Result of the average generated dustfall of Latosol soil from Bandar Lampung Municipality was about 5 tons/km.month and for Latosol soil from Padang city was 4 ton/km.month. Result of the average generated TSP for Latosol soil from Bandar Lampung City was 36 μg/Nm and for Padang city was 32 μg/Nm. Generation of dustfall and TSP Latosol soil from Bandar Lampung City was higher than Padang City. The wind speed positively correlated with dustfall generation, while the soil moisture content and land cover was negatively correlated with dustfall generation. The result of emission factors is a form of simplification to determine the dustfall and TSP generation from field.
ESTERILIZAÇÃO QUÍMICA E AGENTES GELEIFICANTES ALTERNATIVOS NA PROPAGAÇÃO VEGETATIVA IN VITRO DO ABACAXIZEIRO ‘VITÓRIA’

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of chemical sterilization of the culture medium and alternative gelling agents and their influence ondevelopment in vitro and ex vitro plants of pineapple ‘Vitoria’. The culture medium used was composed of MS salts and White vitamins, with 30 g L-1 of sucrose and 100 mg L-1 of myo-inositol. Two forms of sterilization of themedia culture and the glassware were performed: in autoclave at 121°C and with solution of sodium hypochlorite(NaClO) at 0.003% to rinse the glassware and 0.0003% in the culture medium. The gelling agents tested were: M1: agar (6.0 g L-1); M2: corn starch (60.0 g L-1); M3: agar (3.0 g L-1) + corn starch (30.0 g L-1) and M4: agar (3.0 g L-1) + cassava starch(30.0 g L-1). After 30 days of in vitro cultivation was found thatthe NaClO and alternative gelling agents did not affect the growth and development of plantlets. Part of the plantlets of each treatment was acclimatized during 90 days, after which it was found that there was no influence ofgelling agents on plantlets growth. For most of the parameters evaluated, the plantlets derived from treatments involving the chemical sterilization showed results similar or superior to the autoclaved media.
Reflectância espectral e mineralogia de materiais formados sobre diabásio

The aim of this study was to characterize soil materials with different degrees of weathering and then associate their composition with their spectral behavior. One pedological profile developed from diabase was studied in Capivari-SP, Brazil. The morphological description allowed to separate six phases of rock-soil alteration. Afterwards, granulometry, chemical and mineralogical analysis were carried out. The soil spectral reflectance was evaluated with a laboratory spectroradiometer using the wavelength range of 300 to 2500 nm. The profile was moderately weathered as evidenced by a high silt/clay ratio, found below the Bi horizon. Subsurface horizons also presented high nutrient status, especially for P, Ca and Mg, which was related to the occurence of saprolite with an abundance of easily weathered minerals. The mineral evolution began with the precipitation of iron oxides and 2:1 clay minerals, like vermiculite and vermiculite-smectite, and this led to the formation of kaolinite and gibbsite in the upper part of the soil profile. Spectral behavior generally was in conformity with their mineralogical composition, pointing out to the presence of iron oxides, various groups of clays and primary minerals, such as pyroxenes and magnetite.
Effect of nutrition and superovulation on oocyte morphology, follicular fluid composition and systemic hormone concentrations in ewes

The objective was to determine the effect of dietary intake on follicle and oocyte morphology in unstimulated and superovulated ewes. Fifty-four ewes were fed grass meal at 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 times maintenance energy requirements (M) for 32 days. Oestrous cycles were synchronized using progestagen pessaries and either unstimulated or superovulated with 200 mg pig FSH. The ewes were killed and ovaries were collected either 36 or 12 h before the anticipated LH surge. Serum progesterone concentrations in ewes on day 10 after withdrawal of the pessary were lower in ewes fed 2.0M than in ewes fed 0.5M or 1.0M (P /= 3 mm) were observed when the animals were killed in ewes fed 2.0M (3.5 +/- 0.3) than in ewes fed 0.5M (2.4 +/- 0.3) or 1.0M (2.4 +/- 0.5; P < 0. 05). Fewer follicles were observed in superovulated ewes on 0.5M (7. 5 +/- 1.2) than in ewes on 1.0M (12.0 +/- 0.5) or 2.0M (12.3 +/- 1. 4; P < 0.05). Follicular fluid progesterone concentrations were higher in ewes fed 0.5M compared with those fed 1M or 2M (P < 0.05). Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I concentrations were higher in follicular fluid from ewes on 1M compared with either those on 0.5M or 2M (P < 0.05), whereas IGF-II concentrations were lower in follicular fluid from ewes on 2M compared with those on 1M or 0.5M (P < 0.05). Superovulation increased follicular fluid progesterone, oestradiol, IGF-I and IGF-II concentrations (P < 0.01). Concentrations of the 34, 22 and 20 kDa IGF binding proteins were lower in follicles from superovulated ewes compared with unstimulated ewes (P < 0.05). Oocytes from superovulated ewes showed abnormalities such as premature activation of cumulus expansion and vacuolation of the nucleolus and increased frequency of detachment of interchromatin-like granules from the nucleolar remnant. Collectively, these results indicate that both high and low dietary intakes can alter systemic and follicular fluid hormone concentrations. Relative to dietary effects, the effects of superovulation were greater and involved substantial increases in follicular fluid hormone concentrations and abnormal oocyte morphology.

Understanding how source cells execute the regeneration process has been a longstanding goal in regenerative biology with implications in wound healing and cell replacement therapies. Melanocytes are pigment-producing cells in the skin of vertebrates that can be lost during hair graying, injury and disease-related depigmentation. Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer that develops from melanocytes, and it is hypothesized that melanoma cells have properties that are similar to melanocyte stem cells. To gain insight into melanocyte regeneration we set out to identify the source of regeneration melanocytes in adult zebrafish and the path through which progenitor cells reconstitute the pigment pattern. Using targeted cell ablation and single cell lineage-tracing analyses we identified that a majority of regeneration melanocytes arise through direct differentiation of mitfa-expressing progenitor cells. Concurrently, other mitfa-expressing cells divide symmetrically to generate additional mitfa-positive progenitors, thus maintaining regeneration capability. Using reporter assays and drug …
