A correlation between the Large Igneous Provinces and mass extinctions: constraint on the end-Guadalupian mass extinction and the Emeishan LIP in South China, eastern Tethys

ABSTRACT Well-documented outcrops around the Emeishan Large Igneous Province (ELIP) in South China, eastern Tethys, encompassing the end-Guadalupian mass extinction have been investigated. Correlatable sections recording the event exhibit very similar lithological characters, positive-then-negative C isotope excursions and massive biotic demise. Detailed analyses of the fossil record and carbon isotopic variations were carried out on the Guadalupian–Wuchiapingian Boundary sections over the inner, middle, outer zones of the ELIP and its margin. Due to a pronounced decrease in marine habitat area and the environmental and ecological change over this part of the Tethys, the biota crisis records show the loss of numerous tropical invertebrate taxa, and exhibit fewer genera and smaller testing sizes and low productivity. The biota crisis was a sustainable and gradual reduction in diversity over the Capitanian. The associated carbon isotopic data reveal unusually high δ13C(carb) values before the late Capitanian, representing higher primary productivity (or buried rate) and more 13C-enriched CO2 released by hydrothermal carbonate breakdown from the upper crust into the sediments at that time. Subsequently, an accelerated negative excursion across the boundary and the gradual excursion with low carbon isotope amplitude favours an increased influx of light 12C sourced by the volcanism around the eastern Tethys. The very similar time–space relation between the biota crisis and the Emeishan volcanism confirms that volcanic eruptions may have triggered the biota crisis event in South China. Intensive volcanism could result in detrimental environmental and ecological stresses, habitat loss, organic material splitting, or the emission of light carbon and thermal fluid (or aerosol), implying that the losses of the shallow-marine invertebrates either occurred geologically instantaneously or in a series of closely spaced crises coinciding with the initial phase of ELIP formation. These findings in South China may reveal the causal relation between mass extinctions and LIPs in a global context.

Lower crustal H2O controls on the formation of adakitic melts

At volcanic arcs, fluids released from the subducting slab lower the solidus of the mantle wedge and cause melting. Furthermore, slab melts may infiltrate the mantle wedge, and have been suggested to generate adakitic (residual garnet) signatures at some arc volcanoes. However, experimental work indicates that the garnet stability field will expand in the lower overriding crust in the presence of somewhat less hydrous melts, suggesting that such signatures may also develop at crustal levels. Here we use geothermometry and plagioclase hygrometry of mafic eruptives from southwest Japan to demonstrate that the adakitic compositions of associated intermediate magmas are of lower crustal origin due to a decrease in the water content of parental melts, and are not generated by partial melting of the eclogitic subducting slab at elevated temperatures. Lower crustal melt evolution at reduced water contents may represent an important process for generating adakitic signatures in all tectonic settings that have previously been considered to enhance slab melting. Our results demonstrate that magmatic water plays a key role in the differentiation of arc magmas in modern and ancient subduction settings.

Introduction Active surveillance is a strategy for managing low-risk, localised prostate cancer, where men are observed with serial prostate-specific antigen assessments to identify signs of disease progression. Currently, there are no strategies to support active surveillance compliance nor are there interventions that can prevent or slow disease progression, ultimately delaying transition to active treatment before it is clinically required. Recently, we proposed that exercise may have a therapeutic potential in delaying the need for active treatment in men on active surveillance. Methods and analysis A single-blinded, two arm, multicentre randomised controlled trial will be undertaken with 168 patients randomly allocated in a ratio of 1:1 to exercise or usual care. Exercise will consist of supervised resistance and aerobic exercise performed three times per week for the first 6 months in an exercise clinical setting, and during months 7–12, a progressive stepped down approach will be used with men transitioning to once a week supervised training. Thereafter, for months 13 to 36, the men will self-manage their exercise programme. The primary endpoint will be the time until the patients begin active therapy. Secondary endpoints include disease progression (prostate specific antigen), body composition and muscle density, quality of life, distress and anxiety and an economic analysis will be performed. Measurements will be undertaken at 6 and 12 months (postintervention) and at 24 and 36 months follow-up. The primary outcome (time to initiation of curative therapy) will be analysed using Cox proportional hazards regression. Outcomes measured repeatedly will be analysed using mixed effects models to examine between-group differences. Data will be analysed using an intention-to-treat approach. Ethics and dissemination Outcomes from the study will be published in peer-reviewed academic journals and presented in scientific, consumer and clinical meetings.

This paper looks to contribute to the theoretical discussion related to the diverse perspectives about the role of international development cooperation programs that use tourism as a main tool for development, as is the case of UNWTO.Volunteers Program. The main characteristics of this program are described and its potential results are discussed considering the impacts it may produce on the destination areas involved. This discussion is based upon an UNWTO.Volunteers Program case study, developed in the Mexican state of Chiapas in 2008.
Pregnancy and postpartum depression (PPD): A non-systematic review assessing the current state of knowledge on PPD

Objective : Pregnancy and motherhood, while rewarding, can be challenging and transformative. The gestational and postpartum periods may cause various changes, making women susceptible to mental disorders like Postpartum Depression (PPD). This review aimed to present the current state of knowledge on pregnancy and PPD, with a focus on PPD prevention in pregnant women aged 20-40, as well as PPD prevalence worldwide and in Portugal. Methods : A non-systematic search of the literature was conducted using four databases: B-on, Scielo, RCAAP, and Google Scholar. One hundred articles published from 2002-2022 were selected for analysis. Results : Articles were classified into nine topics: Cognitive-Behavioral Theory Approach; Risk and Protection Factors; Diagnosis; Breastfeeding; Multidisciplinary Teams; Demystification of Pregnancy; PPD's Impact on Mother-Infant Relationship; Covid-19 Influence; and Environmental Sustainability. The analysis revealed that prevention research is limited, with existing studies focusing on intervention and treatment and emphasizing nursing health professionals. Conclusions : The current literature overlooks the potential benefits of multidisciplinary teams for better prevention and support for at-risk pregnant women. More research is needed to improve PPD prevention strategies.
Images of surface volatiles in Mercury’s polar craters acquired by the MESSENGER spacecraft

Images acquired by NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft have revealed the morphology of frozen volatiles in Mercury's permanently shadowed polar craters and provide insight into the mode of emplacement and evolution of the polar deposits. The images show extensive, spatially continuous regions with distinctive reflectance properties. A site within Prokofiev crater identified as containing widespread surface water ice exhibits a cratered texture that resembles the neighboring sunlit surface except for its uniformly higher reflectance, indicating that the surficial ice was emplaced after formation of the underlying craters. In areas where water ice is inferred to be present but covered by a thin layer of dark, organic-rich volatile material, regions with uniformly lower reflectance extend to the edges of the shadowed areas and terminate with sharp boundaries. The sharp boundaries indicate that the volatile deposits at Mercury's poles are geologically young, relative to the time scale for lateral mixing by impacts, and either are restored at the surface through an ongoing process or were delivered to the planet recently.
The boy who cried wolf Israel

In the past decades, evidence hasmounted for the benefits of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over thrombolysis during ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) as it establishes more consistent and predictable epicardial artery recanalization, reduces recurrent ischemia and reinfarction, and improves survival [1]. Hospitals with established interventional cardiology programs have opened and maintained primary PCI programs with dedicated teams of interventional cardiologists, nurses, and technicians who are available around the clock to perform urgent coronary revascularization for STEMI patients. It is now well conceived that prolonged duration of ischemic time during STEMI is directly related to permanent myocardial damage and increased mortality [2]. Accordingly, all the major cardiology societies, including the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, and European Society of Cardiology, have prioritized the goal of minimizing the time of myocardial ischemia by setting clear objectives on timely reperfusion during STEMI [3,4]. Initiatives, such as the American Heart Association’s “Mission: Lifeline,” that call for community and hospital measures to further reduce the time to reperfusion have emerged. Beyondprofessional guidelines and recommendations, the reperfusion delay during STEMI is being monitored by insurers, payers, and governmental organizations both in the United States and outside of the United States as a quality measure for hospital performance, thus adding more pressure on rapid activation of the catheterization laboratory team. Similarly to STEMI patients, there is a subset of non-ST-segment elevationmyocardial infarction patients, which is defined as high risk, with refractory angina, heart failure symptoms, hemodynamic instability, and life-threatening arrhythmias, who should undergo urgent revascularizationwithin two hours according to the recommendations of all the cardiology associations [5,6]. Urgent coronary angiography with an intention for revascularization should also be performed in the subset of patients who present to the hospital after cardiac arrest [7]. These urgent interventions, when performed in a timely manner, improve patient outcomes and should be performed both during the day and during off hours despite the growing burden on hospital systems and catheterization laboratory teams. Up-stream activation of the cath lab teams by emergency medical services (EMS) technicians and emergency department physicians is a crucial element in the process of STEMI management to shorten the time to reperfusion and has an impact on patient outcomes. It is expected that because of time constraints in the evaluation process of a suspected STEMI patient, such a system will be imperfect and that some activations may eventually be “false positives. ” There is a need to maintain a continuous learning process to identify elements that
A Conserved Molecular Framework for Compound Leaf Development

Diversity in leaf shape is produced by alterations of the margin: for example, deep dissection leads to leaflet formation and less-pronounced incision results in serrations or lobes. By combining gene silencing and mutant analyses in four distantly related eudicot species, we show that reducing the function of NAM/CUC boundary genes (NO APICAL MERISTEM and CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON) leads to a suppression of all marginal outgrowths and to fewer and fused leaflets. We propose that NAM/CUC genes promote formation of a boundary domain that delimits leaflets. This domain has a dual role promoting leaflet separation locally and leaflet formation at distance. In this manner, boundaries of compound leaves resemble boundaries functioning during animal development.
OWC 2020 Paper Submission - Science Forum

: Organic agriculture is questioned about its ability to feed the planet. The place of livestock appears to be central to the debate, particularly because of the role it should play in cropping systems to close mineral cycles and control diseases, weeds and pests. However, its feed efficiency is low. In the end, it appears that the place of livestock in systems based on the principles of agro-ecology and particularly in organic farming will be determined by its ability to use fodder resources from cropping systems or permanent grasslands on the one hand
Approaching sustainable planning from an indigenous platform

This paper explores the inter-relationships of ancestral domain, governance, and indigenous knowledge in the formation of a planning framework based on sociospatial equity and ecological sustainability. An analysis is done of the nexus of ancestral domain-governance, governance-indigenous knowledge and, ancestral domain-indigenous knowledge, their implications for planning and how a careful evaluation of these nodes in relation with each other could determine sociospatial parameters for a planning framework with long-term objectives of political sustainability, socio-cultural sustainability, and environmental or spatial sustainability. The cosmological context or spirituality forms an imminent fourth node being intrinsically connected to the three other nodes. The paper closes with an attempt to depict the relationship in the form of an analysis tetrahedron – not to take anything from social science but to accentuate the relationships.
Impacts of Long-Range Transport on Air Pollutants in Taiwan

Air pollutants and aerosol composition measured in winters and springs of 2000 and 2001 were analyzed to study the impact of long-range transport of air pollutants and dust from the Asian continent on the particulate pollutants of aerosols in Taiwan. Although Asian dust storms were the most spectacular phenomenon in terms of the impact on the aerosol concentration, they accounted for less than 15% of the PM 10 in Taiwan during winter and spring. The primary long-range transport process can be clearly identified to be the prevailing northeasterly following the cold front of winter monsoon that originates in the Asian continent. However, concentrations of pollutants associated with each cold front changed greatly from one front to another, apparently depending on the air-mass trajectory and vertical mixing. We estimate that the long-range transport of particulate pollutants contribute to about 30 μgm -3 to the PM10 concentrations in northern and eastern Taiwan. A smaller contribution is estimated for the western plain of Taiwan. For sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium ions, the long-range transport contributes about 10 μg/m 3, 3 μg/m 3, and 3 μg/m 3, respectively. Contributions of the long-range transport to CO and O 3 are also substantial, about 230 ppb and 40 ppb, respectively.
Demonstration of a low-cost hyper-realistic testbed for designing future onboard experiences

This demo presents DriverSense, a novel experimental platform for designing and validating onboard user interfaces for self-driving and remotely controlled vehicles. Most of currently existing vehicular testbeds and simulators are designed to reproduce with high fidelity the ergonomic aspects associated with the driving experience. However, with increasing deployment of self-driving and remotely controlled or monitored vehicles, it is expected that the digital components of the driving experience will become more relevant. That is because users will be less engaged in the actual driving tasks and more involved with oversight activities. In this respect, high visual testbed fidelity becomes an important pre-requisite for supporting the design and evaluation of future interfaces. DriverSense, which is based on the hyper-realistic video game GTA V, has been developed to satisfy this need. To showcase its experimental flexibility, a set of self-driving interfaces have been implemented, including Heads-Up Display (HUDs), Augmented Reality (ARs) and directional audio.
Polarized protein trafficking and disease

Inherited MYO5B mutations have recently been associated with microvillus in - clusion disease (MVID), an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by in - tractable, life-threatening, watery diarrhea appearing shortly after birth. Charac - terization of the molecular mechanisms underlying this disease and development of novel therapeutic approaches is hampered by the lack of animal models. In this study we describe the phenotype of a novel mouse model with targeted inactiva - tion of Myo5b. Myo5b knockout mice show perinatal mortality, diarrhea and the characteristic mislocalization of apical and basolateral plasma membrane markers in enterocytes. Moreover, in transmission electron preparations, we observed mi - crovillus atrophy and the presence of microvillus inclusion bodies. Importantly, Myo5b knockout embryos at day 20 of gestation already display all these structural defects, indicating that they are tissue autonomous rather than secondary to envi - ronmental cues, such as the long-term absence of nutrients in the intestine. Myo5b knockout mice closely resemble the phenotype of MVID patients and constitute a useful model to further investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of this disease and to preclinically assess the efficacy of novel therapeutic approaches.
Swiss farmers' perception of and response to climate change

This study investigates Swiss farmers’ perception of climate change and its mitigation, laying its emphasis on the role of affect and imagery within this process. Within a national mail survey (n = 1’909), respondents had to report their associations to the term ‘climate change’, the related affect and their support for climate change mitigation policy instruments. A content analysis of the word associations resulted in 22 affective image categories. Tied to the affect scale by means of correspondence analysis, the latter could be condensed into three clusters which vary significantly in their support and preferences for different climate change mitigation policy instruments.
