Developmental change during a speciation event: evidence from planktic foraminifera

Abstract. Studies in extant populations have shown that plasticity in developmental trajectories can contribute to the origin of novel traits and species divergence via the expression of previously cryptic variation in response to environmental change. Finding evidence for plasticity-led evolution in the fossil record remains challenging due to the poor preservation of developmental stages in many organisms. Planktic foraminifera are ideally suited for addressing this knowledge gap, because adult organisms in species in which development has been studied retain information about all the ontogenetic stages they have undergone. Here we map changes in the developmental trajectories of 68 specimens in the Globorotalia plesiotumida–tumida lineage of planktic foraminifera from the late Miocene until Recent using high-resolution computer tomography techniques. Our unique dataset shows that the transition from the ancestral G. plesiotumida to the descendant G. tumida is preceded by an increased variability in total cumulative volume—an important indicator of reproductive success in this taxon. We also find that the transition interval is marked by a distinct shift in developmental trajectory, which supports a rapid lineage division rather than gradual change. We suggest that high levels of plasticity—particularly in the early stages of development—have contributed to divergence in the ancestral morphology when subjected to a global cooling trend in the late Miocene. The large variation in developmental trajectories that we uncover within our samples emphasizes the need for high-throughput approaches in studies of ontogenetic change in the fossil record.

Kebebasan Berdagang Di Tengah PPKM Darurat Ditinjau Dari Sudut Pandang Sosiological Jurisprudence Dan Konsep Keadilan

The government has implemented a Policy for the Imposition of Restrictions on Emergency Community Activities that have an impact on the trade sector, one of which is micro, small and medium enterprises. These business actors, in addition to experiencing a decrease in turnover, also received criminal sanctions in the midst of the imposition of this emergency Community Activity Restriction by the local government. The formulation of the problem in this study is how freedom of trade in the midst of the Imposition of Restrictions on Emergency Community Activities is viewed from the point of view of sociological jurisprudence and justice. The approach method used in this study is a normative juridical approach, with secondary data collection. Data collection in this research is by literature study. The results obtained were analyzed qualitatively. From the results of the study, it shows that in sociological jurisprudence, trading in the midst of the Imposition of Restrictions on Emergency Community Activities is a community right that becomes a public reality that should still be monitored and controlled without imposing fines even though the Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto principle is the basis for implementing these sanctions. However, at least the legal ideals must still be considered in order to change social values in the community. In the concept of justice, trading in the midst of the Imposition of Restrictions on Emergency Community Activities is the right of everyone to defend their life and life which has been formulated by law in the form of rights and obligations. This emphasizes that the Government must still pay attention to justice by considering economic and social factors, which of course must be relevant to public order where a scale of justice is recognized.
Impact of Vegetation on Lateral Exchanges in a Salt Marsh‐Tidal Creek System

Salt marshes are ecologically and physically essential habitats in coastal intertidal flats. In addition to providing nursery grounds for various wildlife, vegetation in marshes acts as a buffer zone that slows flooding waters. Extensive marsh platforms can also attenuate wave energy to protect coastal communities. Complex geometries make it challenging for models to capture the spatiotemporal variabilities in the transport of lateral water and sediment over tidal creek‐marsh complexes. To study water exchange processes between tidal creeks and marshes, field observations were conducted within tidal creeks in the Chongming Dongtan Shoal of the Changjiang Estuary, an area dominated by Phragmites australis, Scirpus mariqueter, and Spartina alterniflora. A coupled wave‐current‐sediment‐vegetation model that parameterized the three vegetation species was developed and applied to the tidal creek complex of Chongming Dongtan. Validated with the observational data, the modeling results were used to examine the influence of vegetation on flooding/draining processes within tidal creeks and mudflats. The model showed that vegetation not only modified the flow pattern at high tide in the high‐elevation marsh but also significantly intensified the tidal flows in tidal creeks in the low‐elevation regions. Both the observations and model detected significant transport of water and sediment from the marsh to tidal creeks, seaward sediment export over tidal cycles. The simulated salinity exhibited a considerable spatial gradient, matching well with the salt tolerances of the major vegetation types. This model can be potentially used to determine how future scenarios of hydrodynamics could affect vegetation zonation.
The Impact Of Transformational Leadership And Motivation On Employee Performance With Job Satisfaction As Intervening Variable In Indonesian Banking Industry During Digital Transformation

Direct work motivation has no significant effect, but through job satisfaction it has a positive and significant effect on employee performance.
Facial Nerve Paralysis as A Complication of Acute Otitis Media

Background:Facial nerve paralysis is not a very frequent association with acute otitis media (AOM). The pathophysiology and treatment of this condition still under debate. Aim of the Work:to review the treatment strategies and extent of recovery in patients with facial nerve paralysis after AOM. Patients and Methods:The study was a retrospective study. Authors reviewed a total of 4710 cases of AOM seen during the period form 2010 to 2020. Fourty cases developed facial nerve paralysis. All were reviewed for epidemiological data and clinical assessment. Facial palsy was graded by House-Brackmann scale. All patients were treated with antibiotics combined with oral or intravenous corticosteroids. Myringotomy with or without application of a ventilation and mastoidectomy without decompression of the facial nerve were performed in selected cases. Result:Normal facial function was resumed to normal in all patients. The paralysis was mainly of acute onset (90.0%) and otorrhea reported among 12.5%. The initial paralysis grade was mainly grade IV (41.3%) followed by grade III (26.3%). The topography was mainly infrageniculate (86.3%). A collected material for bacteriology was reported for 40.0%, and 53.1% of them had negative culture. The most common detected organism was staphylococcus aureus (18.8%). Myringotomy was done for 7.5%, aspiration for 10.0% and Mastoidectomy for 10.0%. The overall outcome was good among 90.0% and bad among 10.0%. The duration for complete cure in cases with good outcome not exceeded 3 months. Only lower initial grade on House-Brackmann scale and infrageniculate topography were associated with favorable outcome. Conclusion: The management of facial nerve paralysis due to acute otitis media could be conservative by antibiotics with corticosteroids.
Long-Term Trends in the Gender Income Gap within Couples: West Germany, 1978–2011

Abstract:Coupled women typically have lower earnings than their male partners. This gender income gap within couples has declined over time, but we lack information about the drivers behind the decline. Here, we analyze the role of increased participation in education and the labor market, as well as changes in social policies, on the decline of the gender income gap within couples in West Germany from 1978 to 2011, using Microcensus data. We show that women's increased labor market participation and their increased transfer incomes are the major sources of the reduction in the gap. Both trends are strongly connected to family policies. We also shed light on the role of men in the overall trend. Their increased full-time premiums and educational attainment are important counter-trends that outweigh the role of increased unemployment and part-time employment levels among men in reducing the gap.

Rock phosphate-enriched organic fertilizer with phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms improves nodulation, growth, and yield of legumes

ABSTRACT Phosphorus availability from rock phosphate (RP) can be increased via composting with organic fertilizer and phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs) in the soil. Incubation and pot experiments were conducted to investigate the comparative efficacy of RP-enriched organic fertilizer with PSMs vs. diammonium phosphate (DAP) as a control to enhance the production of legumes. In incubation studies, RP-enriched organic fertilizer with PSM2 significantly increased soil aggregate stability (37%) and P-release (2.35 folds) as compared to control, whereas, in pot study, the number and dry weight of nodules plant−1, shoot length, number of pods plant−1, and grain yield of chickpea increased by 23%, 13%, 17%, 15%, and 15% with RP-enriched organic fertilizer + PSM2 compared to control. Similarly, nitrogen and phosphorus contents in straw (11 and 42% respectively) and grains (11 and 13% respectively) and protein contents (16%) of chickpea were also increased. A similar trend was observed regarding the growth and yield parameters of lentil. The use of RP-enriched organic fertilizer with PSM could produce results similar to that of DAP for the optimum production of legumes.
Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients With ANCA-Associated Vasculitides in a Colombian Hospital

Background/Objective Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated vasculitides (AAVs) are uncommon systemic autoimmune diseases, of which few reports exist in Latin America. Our aim was to examine AAV evaluated in a high-complexity hospital in southwestern Colombia, with emphasis in severe forms. Methods A medical records review study of 67 patients was performed, and data were collected from electronic registries. Moderate and severe AAVs were defined as the presence of life-threatening complications, unfavorable Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score outcomes, and hospitalization requirements at the time of diagnosis and by the last follow-up, between 2011 and 2019. Clinical manifestations, treatment, and outcomes were evaluated. The AAV subtypes were compared. Results A total of 67 cases were included. The majority were female (n = 44, 65.67%), and the median age was 52 (40–64) years. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) was the most frequent with 42 patients (62.68%), followed by microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and eosinophilic GPA, with 15 patients (22.38%) and 10 patients (14.92%), respectively. Forty-four patients (65.67%) presented pulmonary symptoms. The highest Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score corresponded to MPA, with 21 (12–25) points. Fifteen patients (22.4%) were admitted to the intensive care unit throughout the course of the disease, of whom 10 had GPA. The longest stay and duration of mechanical ventilation were seen in MPA. The principal treatments were corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide, and the main outcome was end-stage renal disease. Conclusions In this cohort of AAV, most of cases corresponded to GPA, and pulmonary manifestations were the most common. Microscopic polyangiitis was the more severe subtype as it showed worse impairment in clinical characteristics and intensive care unit requirements.
Characteristic analysis and suppression of SiC MOSFET‐based crosstalk for inductive power transfer systems

Due to the lower gate threshold voltage of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET as compared with the silicon (Si) MOSFET, crosstalk significantly limits the high‐speed switching performance of SiC MOSFET‐based inductive power transfer (IPT) systems. The paper studies the crosstalk characteristic and proposes a suppression method of crosstalk aiming at IPT systems with phase‐shifted control. Firstly, the generation mechanism of crosstalk is modeled and analyzed. Then, based on the analysis results, the special crosstalk problem for IPT systems with phase‐shifted control is discussed, and a crosstalk suppression method is analyzed based on the optimization of compensation network parameters. Finally, a 1‐kW IPT system prototype is built for experimental verification. The experimental results show that the optimization method can effectively suppress the crosstalk problem of the IPT system with phase‐shifted control and does not significantly affect the output power and transmission efficiency.
Identification of the Gulf of Mexico as an important high‐use habitat for leatherback turtles from Central America

Endangered leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are wide-ranging, long-distance migrants whose movements are often associated with environmental cues. We examined the spatial distribution and habitat use for 33 satellite-tracked leatherbacks from nesting beaches on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and Panama from 2004 to 2018, an important nesting population for the leatherback Northwest Atlantic Distinct Population Segment. Tracking revealed the use of two distinct regions, the Gulf of Mexico (GoM, n = 18) and the North Atlantic Ocean (NAO, n = 15). We developed density utilization maps to elucidate high-use habitats, migration pathways, and seasonal movements. GoM leatherbacks were found in three concentrated high-use habitats connected by a migration pathway, while NAO leatherbacks were primarily found in a single, large high-use habitat. Leatherbacks in both regions have the potential to interact with Atlantic pelagic longline fisheries based on seasonal overlap with high fishing effort. Our findings suggest that the GoM is an important destination for leatherbacks from the Caribbean coast of Central America with seasonal movements between high-use habitats within the GoM. While leatherbacks are utilizing high-use habitats in both the NAO and the GoM, the proportion of individuals migrating into the GoM increased over the study period. Additionally, NAO leatherbacks have increased the distance they travel in the first 90 d. Regional differences in movement and spatial distribution of high-use habitats are important considerations when developing conservation plans for the Northwest Atlantic leatherback
The Influencing Factors of Financial Support Efficiency of New Generation High-Tech Industry in China: Evidence from Listed Companies

In order to improve the financial support efficiency of new generation high-tech industry in China, from the perspective of the subject (enterprise) in which financial resources were invested, this paper selected 192 listed companies in quantum communication and artificial intelligence concept plates in Chinese stock market as samples. Based on the original data of 2015-2019, the influencing factors of financial support efficiency of new generation high-tech listed companies were then empirically analyzed by using DEA-BCC model and Tobit model. The results showed that the ownership concentration, executive compensation and regional digital inclusive finance level were main factors affecting the financial support efficiency of new generation high-tech listed companies, followed by the technological innovation capability and regional economic development level. However, the influence of growth and comprehensive leverage were limited, and the influence of profitability and capital structure were not obvious. Accordingly, the main countermeasures to improve the financial support efficiency of new generation high-tech industry were proposed, which included giving full play to the advantages and potential of digital inclusive finance, actively guiding enterprises to innovate management, improve quality and efficiency, etc.
Factors Affecting Loan Repayment Rate from ACSI among Smallholder Farmers: In the case of Habru District, Eastern Amara Regional State, Ethiopia

This paper aims to examine factors affecting loan repayment rate from Amhara Credit and Saving Institutions (ACSI) among smallholder farmers in Habru district, Ethiopia. In this study, both primary and secondary data sources were used. The study employed a combination of multi-stage purposive and stratified sampling techniques in the selection of 384 borrowers from small-holder farmers in the study area. The Tobit model result found that a total of 10 out of the total 15 explanatory variables involved in the model were found to be statistically significant.

Phase Transition of SiO2 Nanoparticles Prepared from Natural Sand: The Calcination Temperature Effect

In this paper, we systematically report the synthesis of nano silica powder from natural silica sand by a continuous process. Extraction of sodium silicate from silica sand was through a hydrothermal process, then sodium silicate was ready to be used as a precursor in the form of silicate slurry by coprecipitation process. The silicate slurry of SiO2.XH2O was then dried in a furnace at 150 °C for 4 hours until obtaining a pure white SiO2 powder. At a calcination temperature of 900 °C, the sample was then tested by XRD to analyze the transformation of the crystal phase of SiO2 nanoparticles. Identification of functional group absorption was undertaken by FTIR test, and the particle grain microstructure was analyzed by SEM. At calcination temperature of 900 °C, the SiO2 silica nanoparticles experienced a change of phase from amorphous to crystal or amorphous-cristobalite phase; a shift in stiffness for positions of functional group absorption of Si-O stretching or LO functional groups, Si-O stretching or TO, Si-O-Si bending and Si-O-Si rocking and OH-functional groups occurred; the growth of particle grains happened with a spherical and oval trend, with a larger size. SiO2 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a continuous method and 900 °C calcination temperature had a significant effect on structural phase changes, the formation of siloxane functional groups, silanol, and grain growth on SiO2 nanoparticles.
