The paper describes the production and evaluation of global grassland dynamics mapped annually for 2000-2022 at 30~m spatial resolution. The dataset showing the spatiotemporal distribution of cultivated and natural/semi-natural grassland classes was produced by using GLAD Landsat ARD-2 image archive, accompanied by climatic, landform and proximity covariates, spatiotemporal machine learning (per-class Random Forest) and over 2.3M reference samples (visually interpreted in Very High Resolution imagery). Custom probability thresholds (based on five-fold spatial cross-validation) were used to derive dominant class maps with balanced precision and recall values, 0.64 and 0.75 for cultivated and natural/semi-natural grassland, respectively. The produced maps (about 4~TB in size) are available under an open data license as Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs and as Google Earth Engine assets. The suggested uses of data include (1) integration with other compatible land cover products and (2) tracking the intensity and drivers of conversion of land to cultivated grasslands and from natural / semi-natural grasslands into other land use systems.
Learners’ Perceptions of Synchronous Written Corrective Feedback in Videoconferenced Collaborative Writing
Authors: Papin Kevin , Michaud Gabriel
Published: June 2024

Second language (L2) research suggests that synchronous written corrective feedback (SWCF) in online collaborative writing tasks can help improve L2 linguistic knowledge and writing skills. Following the rise of online collaborative writing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, this exploratory study examines L2 learners’ perceptions of receiving SWCF during collaborative writing tasks completed on an online text-editing platform (Google Docs) and mediated by videoconferencing (Zoom). Adult learners (N = 46) enrolled in advanced online French as a Second Language courses took part in two collaborative writing tasks, during which their teachers (N = 3) provided SWCF. Learners’ screen activity was recorded. After the experiment, a perception survey was distributed and selected participants took part in semi-structured interviews to further discuss their experience. Results indicate that learners viewed the provision of SWCF through computer-mediated communication as an effective way to improve their L2 writing compared to traditional, delayed written feedback. Pedagogical implications for the implementation of videoconferences collaborative writing tasks involving teacher SWCF are discussed.

Published: June 2024

The choice of use of languages â€‹â€‹in schools, including in the linguistic schoolscapes, represents the contestation of language identities, ideologies, and power. This study looks at the position of English, as opposed to Indonesian, Arabic, and Javanese, in the linguistic schoolscapes in an Indonesian Islamic boarding school in Central Java. A descriptive qualitative method and the theoretical framework of language planning and policy (Spolsky, 2004) are used to analyze the data. The findings show that Javanese and Indonesian are used in daily communication. English and Arabic are taught in the language program. In the signs at the boarding school, English is the second language to be used frequently at the linguistic school cape, after Indonesian, while Javanese, as the students' everyday language, is far behind. The implication of the linguistic school landscape finding in this research is that foreign languages â€‹â€‹such as English, Arabic, and others considered necessary have the potential to become a new development in language teaching and learning.

Chinas growing strategic investment in the Indian subcontinent was a concern to India. Infrastructural investment of China in Indias neighbours indicated Chinas aggressive policy and agenda with India. Beijings investment was not only strategically significant but also reshaped political arrangements in the Indian Subcontinent. Chinas Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) aimed to create a Sino-centric global trading network and the realm of influence. For, India the Chinese strategic and infrastructural developments in the Indian subcontinent were an interest and concern â€“ particularly the huge infrastructural project of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which projected Pakistan as a transit hub and route for central Asia. Beijings growing economic and political influence in Indias neighbourhood could not be fully understood without a solid base of information. Indian apprehension is based on the assumption that economic and political avenues as the BRI creates for China in the IOR can also be utilised to supplement its military capability by facilitating the extension of PLANs operational reach across the region. India should also carefully analyse Chinese development activities in the neighbourhood and IOR from the security perspective and discern the futuristic plans of China.

Phyllodes tumors of the breast, rare fibroepithelial lesions, present unique challenges due to their potential for local recurrence and metastasis. While surgical excision is the primary treatment modality, achieving clear margins does not always guarantee prevention of recurrence. Factors such as tumor histology and pathologic features influence recurrence rates, with borderline and malignant tumors being at higher risk. Adjuvant therapies, particularly radiotherapy, show promise in improving local control, but their efficacy remains under investigation. Continued research is essential to identify predictive factors for recurrence and to refine treatment strategies for recurrent phyllodes, ultimately minimizing their impact on patients and healthcare professionals. This article presents two cases of recurrent phyllodes tumors and underscores the need for further exploration into the management of recurrent phyllodes tumors and highlights the ongoing challenges in mitigating their recurrence and improving patient outcomes.

The coexistence of obsessive-compulsive disorderand bipolar disorder is a prevalent issue in psychiatry.Population studies have found lifetime prevalence rates of comorbid obsessive-compulsive disorderin bipolar disorder patients ranging between 11.1% and 21%. The primary treatmentforobsessive-compulsive disorder, serotonin reuptake inhibitors, can induce manic episodes in bipolar disorder patients. This article presents a case of a 54-year-old woman with bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder comorbidity, who experienced a manic shift after the introduction of lamotrigine, a drug commonly used for bipolar disorder and known for its mood-stabilizing properties. Although lamotrigine has been recommended, especially for patients predisposed to depressive bouts, its potential to induce manic or hypomanic states remains controversial. The presented patients reaction to lamotrigine suggests a possible link between the drug and the onset of manic episodes, especially in those with a history of bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Furthermore, while lamotrigine offers benefits for bipolar depression, healthcare professionals need to exercise caution due to its potential to initiate manic or hypomanic states, especially in patients with complex clinical backgrounds. Comprehensive research and careful post-marketing observations are crucial to better understand the risk-benefit profile of lamotrigine.

Abstract This case report discusses a 24-year-old female with sickle cell disease (SCD) who developed bilateral pulmonary embolism (PE), mimicking acute chest syndrome (ACS) following a cholecystectomy. Despite initial treatment for ACS, the patient\\\'s condition deteriorated, leading to a diagnosis of massive bilateral PE via chest CT angiography. The report underscores the importance of considering PE in SCD patients with respiratory symptoms unresponsive to standard ACS treatment. It highlights the hypercoagulable state in SCD, which increases the risk of venous thromboembolism, including PE. The case emphasizes the necessity for heightened clinical suspicion and appropriate diagnostic measures to improve patient outcomes. Unfortunately, the patient succumbed to septic shock despite aggressive management. This report advocates for comprehensive evaluation strategies in similar clinical scenarios to prevent misdiagnosis and improve survival rates.

SEE and TREAT at Colposcopy has been described in cytology based screening when a high-grade lesion in association with a high grade abnormality in the Pap smear is treated by Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone (LLETZ) to minimize loss to follow-up in the multiple step management protocol for CIN. With a vast burden of cervical cancerin developing countries, our aim was to study the efficacy of this approach in patients coming to colposcopy clinic after a positive VIA test. Women in the age group of 25-50years and coming to the general gynecology clinichad opportunistic screening with VIA those who were found VIA+ underwent Colposcopy. Ifcolposcopy suggested a high-grade lesion, SEE and TREAT using LLETZ was performed.Colposcopy was carried out for 688VIA positive womenof whom 101 had a high-grade lesion and underwent LLETZ. All of them had CIN on histopathology. Thirty-five (34.6%) had CIN 1, 55 (54.5%) had CIN 2 and 11 (10.9%) has CIN 3. Treatment was described as effective if there was CIN of any grade in the LLETZ specimen overtreatment if there was no CIN. The SEE and TREAT approach was effective in all with no overtreatment. Complete excision was achieved in 96.04%women, 3.96% had positive resection margin.There were no major complications. Thus we conclude that a SEE AND TREAT approach in a low-resource setting with VIA followed by Colposcopy and treatment can help in reducing the number of visits and loss to follow-up.
PROJECT PROPOSAL: REJUVENATION OF BRAIN NEURONS USING QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT IN NUCLEOTIDES AND CRYPTOCHROMES
Authors: Karakus Ali
Published: June 2024

In this paper, we propose a novel and futuristic theoretical framework aimed at rejuvenating and repairing human brain neurons through the application of quantum entanglement. We hypothesize that by inducing atomic entanglement in nucleotides and photonic entanglement in cryptochromes, and subsequently reinjecting these entangled particles into brain neurons, we can exploit the unique properties of quantum entanglement to enhance neuronal repair and regeneration. Our study delves into the underlying quantum mechanisms, presents detailed mathematical formulations, and outlines comprehensive experimental protocols for achieving neuronal rejuvenation. Additionally, we explore the potential amplification of these effects by exposing entangled particles to the space environment, leveraging factors such as microgravity, cosmic radiation, vacuum conditions, temperature extremes, and electromagnetic isolation. This approach is specifically tailored for brain neurons, as other cells in the body do not process and transmit information in a manner that would benefit from quantum entanglement. Furthermore, we discuss the potential application of this method in treating blindness and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers disease.

Published: June 2024

Social housing for socially vulnerable segments of the population is a significant component of governmental social policy, as it is directly linked to demographic and migration processes, socially vulnerable groups and people with special needs, poverty alleviation, social integration, and community development. The study conducts a bibliometric analysis (using VOSviewer tools) of the scientific literature on social housing policy and management. The study filtered more than 6,000 research papers indexed in the Scopus database from 1983 to 2024. The purpose was to structure the global scientific knowledge on governmental management of social housing as an element of the state’s social policy, focusing on the following directions. The first is the evolution of scientific thought. The analysis revealed a rapid growth in scientific interest starting from 1991; the earliest articles were published in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, and the United States, while scholars from Spain, Mexico, and Italy joined after 2020. The second is the complexity or conversely – concentration of research networks. The top five countries by the number of works are the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, Italy, and the United States; the most powerful research schools are in the Netherlands, Australia, and the United Kingdom; the most extensive scientific connections are held by the Netherlands, the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, and France. The third is the content-thematic orientation of the research. The paper identified the predominance of works from social sciences; social housing issues are most frequently studied in connection with public health and inequality issues.
Entre o acolhimento e o preconceito: Experiências de universitários gays, lésbicas e bissexuais numa universidade comunitária
Authors: Fioreze Cristina
Published: June 2024

A universidade, especialmente a comunitária, possui o dever de contribuir para o desenvolvimento sustentável e a formação humana. Tornar-se mais inclusiva é um caminho para isso. A pesquisa objetiva compreender de que modo o espaço da universidade comunitária se constitui (ou não) em lugar de acolhimento de estudantes LGBT+ e, também, de que forma ela poderia se consolidar nesse sentido. A investigação, desenvolvida junto a graduandos gays, lésbicas e bissexuais de uma universidade comunitária do sul do Brasil, é de abordagem mista, realizada através de survey e entrevistas. Os dados foram interpretados por meio da análise de práticas discursivas. Os resultados evidenciam a importância das relações apoiadoras existentes e os efeitos positivos do sentimento de pertencimento ao grupo de colegas. Todavia, a universidade nem sempre se constitui como lugar de apoio. Olhares desconfiados e tratamentos hostis configuram preconceitos e microagressões vivenciadas no ambiente acadêmico. Para que a universidade se torne mais acolhedora, são necessários: a criação de espaços coletivos em que os estudantes se sintam seguros e fortalecidos; uma comunicação institucional inclusiva; a formação da comunidade acadêmica para o desenvolvimento da competência cultural; a crítica à neutralidade e o empenho para maior porosidade com a realidade sociocultural dos estudantes.

Analyzing non-revenue water dynamics in Rwanda: leveraging machine learning predictive modeling for comprehensive insights and mitigation strategies
Authors: Mwitirehe Janvier , Kipruto Cheruiyot W. , Ruranga Charles
Published: June 2024

This study investigated non-revenue water (NRW) dynamics in Rwanda from 1 July 2014, to 30 June 2023, utilizing panel data and cross-sectional datasets. It aimed to assess progress towards achieving the government's target of 25% NRW. Through panel data analysis and machine learning models, it examined water supply variations, NRW levels, and associated risks across fiscal years and regions. The observed average NRW of 41.24% underscores the need for targeted interventions to meet the set target. Regional disparities, exemplified by Kigali City's water network's 38.61% average NRW compared to Nyagatare's 55.31%, emphasize the importance of tailored strategies. Machine learning models indicated low and inconsistent progress across networks. Notably, no single water supply managed to meet the target in more than 20% of the 36 quarters studied. Comparison with existing literature highlighted excessive NRW in Rwanda, aligning with global trends. Achieving the 25% NRW target requires region-specific approaches, necessitating infrastructure improvements, leak detection, and capacity building. The positive correlation between water loss risk and household access to improved water sources accentuated the complexity in NRW reduction efforts. This study contributes to understanding NRW dynamics and informs sustainable water management strategies tailored to Rwanda's context.

In the geological complexity of the south Tyrol, the Dolomites play a fundamental role, as they are now included in the UNESCO World Heritage (2009) because of their exceptional beauty and unique landscape, together with numerous scientific discoveries. The name of Dolomite comes from the famous mineral dolomite (double calcium magnesium carbonate) discovered by Déodat De Dolomieu in 1789. The dolomitic rocks constitute a large area of the Triassic mountains and many studies have contributed to the discovery of the fundamental stratotypes for the signature of the Permian/Triassic boundary. The steep walls of the Permian volcanic formations and the Sciliar Mountain have always been a great attraction for scientists from all over the world to study the open book of nature in the Dolomites.
We will illustrate three sites:
1. The Bula Geotrail. A geological trail through one of the best-preserved sedimentary series in which we can observe one of the most important stratotypes to touch the Permian/Triassic boundary.
2. The Siusi-Alpe di Siusi Geological Trail. This trail starts just above the Permian/Triassic boundary and is characterized by some unique basaltic columnar formations and other significant outcrops of Lower and Medium Triassic.
3. The Bletterbach Geopark. In this sequence the stratotype, which represents the boundary, is a dark coloured continuous layer (organic matter) 5cm thick, and contains some paleobotanical evidence which is unique in the world.
The preservation and added value of the natural and geological patrimony of a region through guided and documented trails are at the origin of a new kind of tourism: geotourism. The modern tourist is more and more interested and stimulated by getting to knowing nature in depth. The trails are the best instruments for scientific divulgation and education, allowing a better understanding of the landscape and stimulating new discoveries.

Canine transmissible venereal tumor is a contagious neoplasm typically found on the external genital mucosa of dogs of both sexes; however, it can also occur in extragenital areas, such as the nasal cavity. It spreads through contact with damaged tissues or mucous membranes containing viable neoplastic cells, or through the hemolymphatic system. This study aimed to report two cases of canine transmissible venereal tumor in the nasal cavity of two intact male mixed-breed dogs. Both animals exhibited neoplasm in the nasal septum with oral involvement. Diagnosis in both cases was made through clinical and radiological assessments; the neoplasia was confirmed through cytological analysis. Radiological assessment showed retraction of the alveolar bone adjacent to the right premolars in the animal in Case 1, whereas in the animal in Case 2, it revealed an increase in volume in the dorsal portion of the skull, with radiopacity, extending to the frontal, incisive, and nasal bones, confirming lysis in these bones. Animal in Case 1 was subjected to chemotherapy with doxorubicin, however, it experienced recurrence in the oronasal region after some time of tumor remission, requiring treatment with vincristine and subsequent surgical resection. Considering Case 2, the animal responded well to treatment with vincristine sulfate. The animal in Case 1 was discharged 6 months post-procedure, whereas the animal in Case 2 had a good response to the treatment of choice. Clinical information on cases of canine transmissible venereal tumors in the nasal region is essential, mainly regarding therapeutic success, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment duration.
An Immunoinformatic Approach to Designing a Multi-epitope Vaccine against Helicobacter pylori with the VacA Toxin and BabA Adhesion

Published: June 2024

Objective:

Helicobacter pylori, as a carcinogen, has been related to the development of
gastric cancer, particularly in developing countries. The main challenge with therapy is the recurrence
of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and vaccination is still a problem. Therefore, the objective of
the current study was to rationally design a multi-epitope vaccine using two immunogenic proteins
found in H. pylori.

Methods:

Promising epitopes for the Leb-binding adhesin A (BabA) and vacuolating cytotoxin
(VacA) proteins were characterized through an immunoinformatics approach. Epitope-rich fragments
were selected based on high-binding affinities with HLA classes I and II to be specifically
presented to B and T lymphocytes and to selectively elicit both humoral and cellular immune responses.

Results:

Six constructs were planned by fusing these fragments in different arrangements with the
help of GPGPG linkers. The most stable three-dimensional structure was found in Construct 6 during
molecular dynamics. To improve immunogenicity and stability, an adjuvant called human β-
defensin 2 (hBD-2) was joined to the N-terminus of Construct 6. Following molecular docking,
the final vaccine reacted appropriately with each toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2), TLR3, and TLR-4.
The final DNA sequence was optimized for expression in E. coli K12 and in silico cloned into a
pET-28a(+) plasmid. As a result of the vaccination in silico, substantial responses were developed
against H. pylori.

Conclusion:

According to the immune response simulation, activated B and T lymphocytes and
memory cell production increased. Macrophages and dendritic cells proliferated continuously, and
IFN-γ and Cytokines, such as IL-2 were raised.

Background:

Biosurfactants are natural products produced by microorganisms. This
study examined the antioxidant activity, biosorption of heavy metals, and stability of lipopeptide
biosurfactant (BLA 2906) produced by the Alcaligenes aquatilis bacterium YGD-2906.

Methods:

Biosurfactant production was determined by using four techniques: hemolytic test,
emulsion indices, oil spreading test, and drop collapse test. The biosorption capacity of our biosurfactant
to chelate the different heavy metals. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by the
reducing power, phosphomolybdate tests, and DPPH•, ABTS•+ radical scavenging assays and in
the end, the stability of this biosurfactant was studied.

objective:

Study of the heavy metal biosorption, antioxidant activity, and stability study of lipopeptide biosurfactant BLA 2906 produced by Alcaligenes aquatilis YGD-2906.

Results:

A negative hemolytic test, emulsion indices of 63.11 % with crude oil, 23.66 mm of oil
spreading test, and a positive drop collapse test. The lipopeptide biosurfactant BLA 2906 demonstrated
its ability to chelate different heavy metals at pH = 7.2, which gave biosorption capacities
of Cu (II), Fe (II), Pb (II), Cd (II), and Zn (II) of 43.34, 43.60, 50.00, 20.08 and 22.48 mg /g of
BLA 2906, respectively. The total antioxidant capacity of BLA 2906 presented a value of 0.84
mg Eq Trolox / g DM for the reducing power. On the other hand, the result for the phosphomolybdate
test showed a value of 1029.00 ± 3.66 μg / mL to cause a 50 % reduction of the reducing
activity of the phosphomolybdenum for the BLA 2906. The result of ABTS+• scavenging activity
was 10.46 %. DPPH radical-scavenging effects and BHA at varying concentrations showed that
concentrations required to cause 50 % inhibition were 705.48 ± 3.89 μg / ml and 7.61 ± 0.11 μg /
ml for this biosurfactant and BHA, respectively. The BLA 2906 showed high stability at different
temperatures, pH, and salinity in terms of emulsification activity.

Conclusion:

The results obtained by the lipopeptide biosurfactant BLA 2906 are attractive to invest
in future applications in different fields such as industry, environment and biotechnology.
