Impacts of the Russia-Ukraine War on Global Food Security: Towards More Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems?

As a conflict between two major agricultural powers, the Russia–Ukraine war has various negative socioeconomic impacts that are now being felt internationally and might worsen, notably, for global food security. If the war deepens, the food crisis will worsen, posing a challenge to many countries, especially those that rely on food imports, such as those in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Simultaneously, the war came at a bad time for global food markets because food prices were already high due to disruptions in the supply chain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, strong global demand, and poor harvests in some countries. Understanding how conflict-related disruptions in global food and fertilizer markets might affect price and availability is critical for understanding the overall impact on global food security. Further, four months into the war, its implications for food security suggest that this review is timely, urgent, and highly needed. Accordingly, this paper aims to investigate the Russia–Ukraine war’s direct and indirect impact on global food security. The paper highlights that the war resulted in immediate and far-reaching cascading consequences on global food security: Ukrainian exports have stopped, conscription and population displacement have caused labor shortages, access to fertilizers is restricted, and future harvests are uncertain. First, Ukraine’s export capacity has been hampered. Secondly, conscription and population displacement caused labor shortages. Thirdly, access to vital agricultural products such as fertilizers is also constrained. The war may delay spring planting and winter crop harvesting. Further, the war has indirect and cascading effects. Indeed, rising fertilizer costs may reduce their use and crop yields. Moreover, as seen during the 2007–2008 food crisis, export restrictions and speculation are driving up international prices and worsening the situation. Furthermore, the war triggered a panic buying movement at country and individual levels. Finally, the war may jeopardize the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 1 (No poverty), SDG 2 (Zero hunger), and DG 12 (Responsible consumption and production). However, the consequences of the war on food security are being exacerbated by a variety of underlying rigidities, vulnerabilities, and inefficiencies in global food systems. Accordingly, the transition toward healthy, equitable, and ecologically sustainable food systems must be strengthened by adopting urgent and long-term reforms and policies.

A GIS-Based Drastic Model for Assessing Aquifer Vulnerability in Amman-Zerqa Groundwater Basin, Jordan

Amman-Zerqa Basin (AZB) is a major basin in Jordan. The concentration of economic, agricultural and social activities within the basin makes it of prime importance to Jordan. Intensive agricultural practices are widespread and located close to groundwater wells, which pose imminent threats to these resources. Groundwater contamination is of particular concern as groundwater resources are the principal source of water for irrigation, drinking and industrial activities. A DRASTIC model integrated with GIS tool has been used to evaluate the groundwater vulnerability of AZB. The Drastic index map showed that only 1.2% of the basin’s total area of 3792 km2 lies in the no vulnerable zone and about 69% is classified as having low pollution potential. The results also revealed that about 30% of the catchment area is moderately susceptible to pollution potential and slightly 1% is potentially under high pollution risk. These results suggest that almost one third of the AZB is at moderate risk of pollution potential. These areas are mainly in the north-east and central parts of the basin where the physical factors (gentle slope and high water table) would allow more contaminants to easily move into the shallow groundwater aquifer. Areas with high vulnerability to pollution are largely located in the center of Amman old city.

Proposed project will enable to establish the best practices for performing innovative and high-quality biomedical research and to strengthen CEITEC´s competence to translate the research results into high value-added clinical applications. Stimulation of knowledge exchange, implementation of cutting edge technologies and mastery of modern genomics and bioinformatics methodologies will have a direct impact on the overall research and innovation potential of CEITEC and will increase its visibility in the international scientific community.
Innovative neutron source for non destructive testing and treatments

The INTER project aims at the design and production of a proof of concept demonstrator component essential for the development of a novel, tunable and portable neutron source. 
Neutron beam-based analysis (neutron diffraction, neutron activation analysis, active interrogation) and imaging (radiography, tomography) methods are a powerful tool for non-destructive testing (NDT) of materials and find numerous important applications in industry, security, and material science and technology.
Use of laser-driven ion accelerators to generate neutrons can potentially overcome the limitations of conventional neutrons sources.
Within the ERC-CoG ENSURE project, I developed a nanostructured material, used to produce a novel multi-layer target concept] allowing to enhance the laser-ion production efficiency with reduced laser requirements and, at the same time, robust enough to be adopted in a commercial targetry device, paving the way for operation with relatively low-energy, commercial, high rep-rate laser systems (1J; 1-10TW; 10-100 Hz). 
Upon approval of the present INTER ERC-PoC project, I will provide an accelerator module demonstrator, based on such novel target concept, for the generation of an innovative, portable neutron source. 
If successful, INTER will open the way to put on the market a ready-to-use compact accelerator module able to generate ion & neutron beams with a transportable, affordable laser system. Availability of this technology would find important applications of strong economical and societal interest, like checking for drugs and explosives concealed in luggage and cargo containers, in-situ analysis of key industrial (e.g. engine turbines blades) and electronic (e.g. to measure impurities in silicon semiconductors) components, imaging/interrogation of nuclear fuels, explosives, cultural heritage artifacts, as well as in biology, medicine, fuel cell research and geoscience.
Scour and three dimensional turbulent flow fields measured by ADV at a 90 ° horizontal forced bend in a rectangular channel

Abstract The three dimensional turbulent flow fields and scour at a 90° horizontal forced bend were investigated experimentally. Non-cohesive non-uniform sediments with median diameter d 50 equal to 0.3 mm were used. The flow depth and velocity in the upstream section were adjusted to get a shear velocity equal to 1.61 times the critical shear velocity of the bed particles. The time averaged velocity components, turbulent intensity components and Reynolds stresses on a stabilized scoured bed were taken by the Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) at different azimuthal sections. The presentation of flow fields through vectors at the horizontal section mainly shows that there is a concentration of flow in the concave bank at the bend. It is found from the measured bed profile that the non-dimensional maximum scour depth (scour depth/width of channel) is approximately 0.17 at the bend under the above flow conditions. The maximum measured velocity was approximately 1.61 times the average velocity. The data obtained in the experimental investigation will be useful for the proper design of protection works at bends.
The Level of Neighborhood Walkability in a Place of Residence and its Effect on Body Composition in Obese and Overweight Women

A neighborhood environment allows defining typical features for physically active or inactive lifestyle. An accelerated pace of life and higher availability of an unhealthy lifestyle increase obesity rates. An analysis of body composition can be used as a predictor for assessment of current somatic conditions. The aim of the study was to determine the dependence of selected body composition parameters on neighborhood in 167 women aged 20-60 years attending weight-loss programme called STOB-courses. A multifrequency bioimpedance analysis InBody 720 was used to determine the body composition of respondents. Further, ANEWS questionnaire was used to determine the of neighborhood walkability. We divided the sample into two age groups ( 40 years) and into partial subgroups according to the neighborhood level of walkability (lower and higher level). Based on the assessment of body composition, it can be assumed more walkable neighborhood opportunities positively affect body composition. Body composition in older women is positively influenced if they lived in high walkable areas. In younger women we found only one indicator of body composition (body fat mass) influenced by neighborhood walkability. The relationship between health indicators of body composition and residential infrastructure might be useful in strategies aimed at maintaining and developing a healthy lifestyle within the community.
Non-Linear bayesian partition-modeling of the earth's mantle transition zone

The Earth’s mantle transition zone (TZ) is a complex region exhibiting mineralogical phase changes as revealed by sharp increases of seismic wave-speed near 410 and 660 km depth. The TZ is a key region for understanding how efficient is mantle convection to recycle chemical heterogeneities. Attempts to isolate the effects of temperature and composition on elastic properties have faced several issues. First, due to the imperfect seismic data coverage, the scales of thermal and chemical heterogeneities remain poorly constrained. Second, seismic and mineral-physics data suffer from large uncertainties, and the relation between seismic observables and in situ thermo-chemical parameters remains questionable. To overcome these limitations, this project will use a partitioning (multi-scale) approach to isolate the effects of mantle temperature and composition from comprehensive seismic databases. Using a Bayesian probabilistic framework, the experienced researcher (ER) will simulate the multi-scale physical properties of the TZ, confront the results with high-pressure mineral physics experiments and with predictions from mantle convective mixing models. The interdisciplinary approach of this project relies on using state-of-the-art numerical methods and high performance computing to answer fundamental questions in Earth Sciences. The uniqueness of the approach arises from quantifying in a probabilistic sense how conceptual mantle-mixing models fit seismic data. The skills developed during this project will re-enforce the competitiveness of both institutions to build seismic models, and to study the Earth’s deep interior. The expected researcher outcome is the re-enforcement of his research network; the benefit of a new environment to efficiently prepare articles and professorship applications; and through appropriate training, the capability of developing a research group. Continued international collaboration will be of enduring value for research and student formation.
Landscape structure influences bee community and coffee pollination at different spatial scales

Abstract Although several studies have shown that the presence of bees results in increased crop yields, the mechanisms that determine pollination service across different spatial scales are still largely unknown. Here, we evaluated the influence of landscape structure over bee community composition and coffee ( Coffea arabica ) pollination. Our study was undertaken in one of the most important coffee-producing regions of Brazil, and comprised nine landscapes of sun coffee plantations surrounded by different amounts of Atlantic Forest remnants. Using floral exclusion experiments we evaluated fruit set in 15 coffee shrubs per landscape. We also sampled the bees visiting coffee flowers. Our analyses were made at two landscape scales, with 1 and 2 km radii, and one shrub scale, with 300 m radius around each coffee shrub. We collected 241 bee individuals and identified a total of 22 species. The honeybee Apis mellifera (Apini) was the most abundant flower visitor followed by Trigona spinipes (Meliponini). Native bee abundance, richness and diversity were positively affected by forest cover at the shrub scale. Honeybee abundance, on the other hand, was negatively affected by forest cover at the shrub scale. The presence of bees resulted in an increase in coffee fruit set of 28%. A. mellifera abundance positively affected fruit set across spatial scales, while the composition of the native bee community affected fruit set differently at the landscape scales than at the shrub scale. Our work shows that bee pollination services are affected by landscape structure at different spatial scales. These findings can be used in conservation and agricultural planning to maximize crop production while safeguarding biodiversity and the provision of pollination services.
Progress toward the development of polyvalent vaccination strategies against multiple viral infections in chickens using herpesvirus of turkeys as vector

Vaccination is the most cost effective strategy for the control and prevention of the plethora of viral diseases affecting poultry production. The major challenge for poultry vaccination is the design of vaccines that will protect against multiple pathogens via a single protective dose, delivered by mass vaccination. The Marek disease virus and the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus cause severe disease outbreaks in chickens. Vaccination with live herpesvirus of turkeys protects chickens from Marek disease and inactivated influenza viruses are used as antigens to protect chickens against influenza virus infections. We developed herpesvirus of turkeys (HVT) as a vaccine vector that can act as a dual vaccine against avian influenza and Marek disease. The HVT vector was developed using reverse genetics based on an infectious bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone of HVT. The BAC carrying the HVT genome was genetically modified to express the haemagglutinin (HA) gene of a highly pathogenic H7N1 virus. The resultant recombinant BAC construct containing the modified HVT sequence was transfected into chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells and HVT recombinants (rHVT-H7HA) harbouring the H7N1 HA were recovered. Analysis of cultured CEF cells infected with the rHVT-H7HA showed that HA was expressed and that the rescued rHVT-H7HA stocks were stable during several in vitro passages with no difference in growth kinetics compared with the parent HVT. Immunization of one-day-old chicks with rHVT-H7HA induced H7-specific antibodies and protected chickens challenged with homologous H7N1 virus against virus shedding, clinical disease and death. The rHVT-H7HA vaccine also induced strong and long-lasting antibody titers against H7HA in chickens that were vaccinated in ovo 3 d before hatching. This vaccine supports differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals (DIVA), because no influenza virus nucleoprotein-specific antibodies were detected in the rHVT-H7HA vaccinated birds. The rHVT-H7HA not only provided protection against a lethal challenge with highly pathogenic H7N1 virus but also against highly virulent Marek disease virus and can be used as a DIVA vaccine.
