Genome-wide association testing in malaria studies in the presence of overdominance
Authors: Akoth Morine , Odhiambo John , Omolo Bernard
Published: July 2022

Background: In human genetics, heterozygote advantage (heterosis) has been detected in studies that focused on specific genes but not in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). For example, heterosis is believed to confer resistance to certain strains of malaria in patients heterozygous for the sickle-cell gene, HbS. Yet the power of allelic tests can be substantially diminished by heterosis. Since GWAS (and haplotype-associations) also utilize allelic tests, it is unclear to what degree GWAS could underachieve because heterosis is ignored. Methods: In this study, we proposed a two-step approach to genetic association testing in malaria studies in a GWAS setting that may enhance the power of the tests, by identifying the underlying genetic model first before applying the association tests. We fitted generalized linear models for dominant, recessive, additive, and heterotic effects and perform model selection. This was achieved via tests of significance using the MAX and allelic tests, noting the minimum p-values across all the models and the proportion of tests that a given genetic model was deemed the best. An example dataset, based on 17 SNPs, from a robust genetic association study and simulated genotype datasets, were used to illustrate the method. Case-control genotype data on malaria from Kenya and Gambia were used for validation.Results and conclusion: Results showed that the allelic test returned some false negatives under the heterosis model, suggesting reduced power in testing genetic association. Disparities were observed for some chromosomesin the Kenyan and Gambian datasets, including the sex chromosomes. Thus, GWAS and haplotype associations should be treated with caution, unless the underlying genetic model had been determined.
Integrated data-driven and mechanics-based modeling framework for pile design
Authors: Hu Biao
Published: July 2022

To conquer the limitation of using empirical load-transfer curves for axially loaded pile design under various soil and site conditions, an innovative modeling framework is proposed by integrating data-driven load-transfer curves and mechanics-based pile solutions. A pile database consisting of twenty-four field load tests is compiled, and used to train and test the multi-layer feed-forward artificial neural networks (ANNs). The optimization of ANN model architecture is realized through genetic algorithm. The performance of the ANN-based load-transfer curves is evaluated by comparing with other empirical curves. Finally, the ANN-based load-transfer curves are implemented into the matrix displacement method. The effectiveness of the integrated data-driven and mechanics-based modeling is demonstrated through a case study.

Published: July 2022

According to Social Identity Theory people tend to be positive for members of group to which they feel as belonging and to be negative for members of group to which they do not feel as belonging. Such perception bias is thought to be exist among different group of drivers in traffic, as well. In this context, this study aims to investigate professional (like taxi drivers) and unprofessional (private car users) drivers’ driver skills, safety concerns and risk-taking behaviors and together with researching perception of each group of drivers toward the other. 40 unprofessional and 39 professional drivers participated in the study. After each participant assessed himself/herself through Driver Skill Inventory (DSI) and risk-taking behavior scale, s/he also evaluated members of the other group of drivers through these scales. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant differences between the two groups. Specifically, it was found that professional drivers state their driver skills and safety concerns higher and their risk-taking behaviors lower than unprofessional drivers in traffic. Moreover, each group’s self-assessment scores with regard to driving skills, safety concerns and risk-taking behaviors are generally in line with the other group’s perception of that group on these variables.

The living performance in sustainable development outline contributing factors towards efficiency, such as ecological, economic, health, and social integration. The performance of facade design must be emphasised to describe resilient living and access to mitigate the design of post-coronavirus disease (COVID-19) housing. The spread of the pandemic underlines the importance of providing quality of life and wellbeing in the building environment, hence highlighting a crucial need to improve indoor air quality and passive building performance to minimise the transmission of COVID-19 and indoor airborne diseases as a result of poor ventilation. The passive building performance and facade complement the energy demand and reduce heat gain. Currently, passive design and health are emphasised to link the environmental design approach and architecture and highlight the quality-of-life post-pandemic. The study aims to provide important healthy indoor strategies and passive building performance for open-plan home-office design, to investigate the open-plan home design with optimum thermal performance based on the passive indoor environment, and to examine the bioclimatic response and energy efficiency of home-office design during the pandemic. The responsiveness of bioclimatic and modular construction incorporated with the new home-office design aim to save energy through sustainable material. The Integrated Environmental Solutions Virtual Environment (IESVE) computer software was utilised using simulations involving ranges of illuminance levels in daylight and revealed the acceptable levels of between 300 lux to 500 lux for the home office area. The results demonstrated that the optimum range of solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.46 and a U-value of 0.04 W/m2 K reduced the indoor temperature by 5 degrees Celsius during peak time and maintained the air-condition at 28 degrees Celsius, which was within thermal comfort level.

Heavy traffic volume especially in peak time led to bigger issue during daily school operating time. Drivers’ behaviours are often seen as the central cause to the increased number of road accidents around school, particularly during morning hours when accompanying adults are in a rush to office. Good accessibility and connectivity are the main consent in a school planning guideline. However, the proximity to major roads results in a higher level of traffic around the school. The research hypothesis is to investigate whether the proximity distance playing a significant role in determining mobility choice to school. The Geographical Information System software was used to analyse the safety measures such as distance, coverage area and routes to school, while the mobility analysis is done using the SPSS. 553 samples of questionnaires have been distributed at six identified schools in Johor Bahru. The result from analysis shows 79.39% of children use motorised vehicle thus, contributing to poor traffic flow during peak hour. While in comparing the coverage of each school to the guidelines, 99.45% of children’s houses are within the accepted radius distance. The findings of this study will highlight to some poor driving habits among parents, which are a major contributor to the heavy traffic flow surrounding schools.

We consider the problem of field emission based on carbon nanotubes (CNT), which length differs from several nanometers up to dozens of nanometers. The particle transmission function is obtained, considering the difference of potentials on the ends of CNT to be U=2-3.5 V. The value of the emission current is calculated according to the obtained transmission function. We establish the dependence of the Nordheim function on the length of nanoparticles. We consider the limiting transition for the transmission coefficient for field emission from the cathode surface in the absence of nanoparticles on it. Linear dependence of the electrical current envelopes I on the field strength W is obtained.

Published: July 2022

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (CT) stands out. Also known as broken heart syndrome, it is a rare dysfunction that affects the systolic function of the left ventricle, resulting from an abrupt and intense discharge of catecholamines, of a transient and reversible nature. However, the coexistence of CT and COVID-19 results in an intense cytokine storm, which makes the outcome not so favorable, with increased risks for cardiogenic shock, myocarditis, and cardiac tamponade. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze scientific evidence on the relationship between COVID-19 and CT in healthy patients or patients with controlled systemic diseases (without complications). An integrative literature review was carried out in the MEDLINE database, with the strategies “Takotsubo Syndrome and COVID-19” and “Takotsubo Syndrome and SARS-Cov-2”. Initially, a total of 194 references were obtained which, after critical analysis by the researchers, included 5 case reports in this review. The investigation of the cases did not identify specific patterns of clinical manifestations, laboratory tests or imaging in healthy patients or with controlled systemic diseases, but in general, the occurrence of cytokine storms with impacts on the coagulation cascade and on the patterns can be highlighted. of cardiac functioning. Thus, we emphasize the importance of including CT as a differential diagnosis in the face of the poor prognosis of the patient with COVID-19 and that studies continue to be carried out to better elucidate this issue which, although rare, can be fatal.

Published: July 2022

Abstract: Citrus fruit diseases are the major cause of extreme citrus fruit yield declines. Plant disease detection and classification are crucial long term agriculture. Manually monitoring citrus diseases is quite tough. As a result, image processing is used for designing an automated detection system for citrus plant diseases. Image acquisition, image preprocessing, image segmentation, feature extraction and classification are main processes in the citrus disease detection process. Deep learning methods have recently obtained promising results in a number of artificial intelligence issues, leading us to apply them to the challenge of recognizing citrus fruit and leaf diseases. In this approach, an integrated approach is used to suggest a convolutional neural networks (CNNs) model. The proposed CNN model is intended to differentiate healthy fruits and leaves from fruits/leaves with common citrus diseases such as black spot, canker and citrus blight. The proposed CNN model extracts complementary discriminative features by integrating multiple layers.

Screening game in plant–pollinator interactions: compound screening mechanism in flower morphology of Delphinium caeruleum
Authors: Hou Qin-zheng , Ehmet Nurbiye , Shao Wenjuan , Yang Guang , Xu Yi Fan , Kun Sun
Published: July 2022

The screening mechanism is an important component of the screening game
between plants and pollinators, and also as a theoretical framework for
understanding the maintenance and drivers of co-evolution by animals and
plants. However, no previous studies have investigated the composite
screening mechanism in plants from biomechanical and morphological
perspectives. Thus, we observed and measured the insects and flower
traits in different populations of Delphinium caeruleum J., and compared
the operative strength of staminodes with the strength that insects were
capable of exerting, as well as the length of the nectar spur and
proboscis in insects. The flower traits, insect species, visitor
frequency, and efficiency differed among three experimental sites. The
strength and proboscis length of the insect visitors matched with the
operative strength of staminodes and the nectar spur length, whereas the
opposite was found for non-visitors. Our results demonstrate that
Delphinium caeruleum J. can screen for efficient pollinator insects
through a complex mechanism based on a combination of length screening
and biomechanical screening. Pollinators contribute significantly to
promoting both the convergence and divergence of flower characteristics,
which may be a consequence of plants adapting to local pollinators.

parameterized on empirical data derived from the nine- and three-spined
sticklebacks, four approaches to detect genomic regions associated with
parallel evolution are compared in high-density genome-wide SNP data;
linear mixed model (EMMAX), latent factor mixed model (LFMM), redundancy
analysis (RDA) and BayPass. RDA and BayPass were the most conservative
followed by EMMAX, and while LFMM was the most powerful, it was also the
most prone to false positives, particularly at high levels of background
genetic differentiation and low levels of parallelism. Because some
methods were sensitive to similar biases, false positives were often
shared between them. Using linkage disequilibrium (LD) network-based
complexity reduction in combination with EMMAX, the cost of multiple
corrections was greatly reduced increasing the power to detect
signatures of natural selection relative to single locus- or
window-based approaches, with well controlled false positive rates. This
approach can further improve our ability to distinguish false positives
caused by population demographic history (genome wide effects) from
those affected by non-neutral evolutionary processes that affect
LD-patterns locally. The outlined approach improves our ability to
identify genomic targets of natural selection and pave the path towards
better understanding adaptive evolution in the wild.

Atractylodes lancea is a perennial herb containing multiple
medicinal ingredients that is currently at risk due to habitat shortages
and improper planting. Its cropping method makes Atractylodes
lancea affected by allelopathy, due to lack of ventilation. Endophytic
bacteria have been reported to be able to increase the growth of hosts
in many species. To promote the yield of Atractylodes lancea
cropping and explore whether intraspecific allelopathy could be relieved
by endophytic bacteria, we designed an airborne signal exchange system
and found that ethylene produced by neighboring plants is a chemical
agent that decreases the root length and dry weight of nearby
Atractylodes lancea, also decreasing the essential oil content at
the same time. Our results showed the endophytic bacterium
Pseudomonas fluorescens (ALEB7B) was able to suppress the
airborne signal of allelopathy by decreasing ethylene emissions. Unlike
cases where pathogen or herbivore enhances plant-plant interactions in
which decrease the growth of nearby plants, treatment with ALEB7B
improves the growth of nearby plants and increases essential oil
production of neighbors. These results were further confirmed by
transcriptome analysis in pot experiments. Our result revealed that
ethylene emitted by Atractylodes lancea has an intraspecific
allelopathic effect that can be relieved by the endophytic bacterium
Pseudomonas fluorescens by decreasing ethylene emission. This
study discovered a new mode how endophytic bacterium promote the growth
and essential accumulation.
HPTD-M for Public Management Sustainability:
Authors: Da Silva Guimarães Martins da Costa Leonardo
Published: July 2022

This paper aims to study Brazilian public management through HPTD-M (an abbreviation forthe Holopraxis Transdisciplinary Management theory). The excessive presence of analyticalmethod and bureaucratic rationality is a Brazilian bottleneck, as detected in this HPTD-Mapproach. Also in this article, the concept of transdisciplinarity is abbreviated (TD).The HPTD-M approach applied to the sustainable public management is based on theprinciples of duality, i.e., interaction and integration of opposites, especially the analyticaland synthetic methods, and four requirements, namely rationality, feasibility,reasonableness, and meaning. Besides, complexity can be transformed to simplicity throughdeep studies and discussions with all actors involved.The methodology to achieve the four requirements is derived from Jungian psychologicalfunctions: sensation, feeling, thinking, and intuition, respectively, which are translated intofour skills or intelligences, namely empirical, emotional, rational, and intuitive.Findings involve dialectics as a sustainable duality required to improve the managerialaspects of the public organizations in Brazil: The dialogue between specialists andgeneralists, analytical and synthetic methods, academics and executives, technicians andmanagers, and techno-bureaucrats and politicians through education and change inlegislation. In this context, the following are the four major groups of disciplines:technoscience, which involves technology and science; bureaucracy, which covers law andlegislation; psychology, which includes the behavior of all actors in public administration andtheir relationship; and politics, which involves dialogue and complete information tosubsidize higher instances decision, as opposed to political ideology or dogmatism.
The resilience of researchers from the perspective of sustainability in times of a pandemic
Authors: Siveres Luiz
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to understand the importance of resilient attitudes in the course of drafting, developing, and completing research projects related to academic processes of graduate students. Considering, however, that allhumanity and all systems were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, the role of science deserves to be highlighted, once it was daily required to seek solutions to face the virus, as well as to point towards ways of minimizing its effects. Thus, research centers were heavily demanded and had to put resilience into practice in the daily routine of research. Therefore, in the context of the dynamics in the context of the transdisciplinary dynamics, research data were generated through a semi-structured interview, through which 7 (seven) student researchers, linked to twohigher education institutions in the Federal District - Brasília, were interviewed. Accordingly, the objective was, through content analysis, to identify the actions students relied upon to remain resilient in their training processes, aswell as the initiatives that revealed a component of resilience in research projects that could provide greater sustainability. Then, the analytical perception, through the research results, allowed us to perceive that “research” is one of the ways to make students feel like protagonists and create favorable conditions to move forward in terms of knowledge. The search for answers to research problems, by researchers, goes beyond their competences in the cognitive dimension, also involving the intuitive, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. Thus, academic contexts are favorable spaces for the development and practice of resilience. Therefore, mediators should be careful so they can face the setbacks arising from the research process together. On the other hand, research students managed to successfully complete their research journey and move forward in their knowledge construction processes, because they practiced resilience.

This is because resilient people remain productive, even in the midst of vulnerable and uncertain contexts. And theycan stay focused, carry out the activities that must be done, and know how to take advantage of the time and circumstances in favor of their goals.

In this sense, it is perceived that resilient people always find possibilities, hitherto unimagined, to transform the emerging problem into an opportunity because they linked their personal project to anacademic-social dimension, thus demarcating its concern for sustainability. Healthy resilient attitudes are necessary in order to achieve this as research projects are drafted, developed, and completed, a fact that became more evident because the researchers had a transdisciplinary perception of life and academic projects. Finally, the engagement with transdisciplinary projects whose references were existential plenitude and social sustainability strengthened resilience, put into practice as adaptation and growth, both internally (personally) and externally (socially).

The internet consists of or can be divided into three parts. They are known or referred to as surface web, deep web and dark web. The dark web also known as the ‘dark net’, represents part of the deep web. TOR, 12P, and Freenet are some specialized tools needed to access the dark web as they cannot be accessed ordinarily. These tools anonymize the internet protocol address of the user. This web level is characterized by notoriety and the operation of illegal markets and activities such as the sale of illicit drugs, firearms, and hitman services amongst others. This review seeks to find out the usage of the dark web, findings in related literature, the ethical and unethical sides of the dark web as well as its involvement in cybercrime.
