Prevention of morbidity in the child population from septic foodborne infections caused by the new bacterial pathogen Enterobacter sakazakii (according to the new classification - Cronobacter spp.) is becoming increasingly relevant due to an expanding contingent of susceptible individuals and the proven ability of low doses of the pathogen to quickly increase a population in dry specialized products for formula feeding after rehydration. In this regard, it is important to assess the risk of accumulation of thermoresistant coliform enterobacteria, including Cronobacter spp., in residual microflora of such products during their production in order to determine ways to minimize it. To identify a hazardous factor in specialized infant formula of domestic production, we summarized and analyzed expert data on contamination of 245 samples of infant formula and 182 cereals with the entire spectrum of coliform enterobacteria, which were previously identified as Enterobacter sakazakii (Cronobacter spp.). Cronobacter spp. was detected in 4 samples of instant formula (1.6 %) in amounts ranging from 0.04 to 0.5 CFU/g, which is above the hazardous level (≥ 0.003 CFU/g) for susceptible children. No pathogen was isolated from dry mixtures for cooking and instant porridges produced by dry mixing but the content of heat-resistant Enterobacter spp. was 10 times higher than those produced during the full cycle. Using a risk process model and assuming the content of coliforms in raw milk at the level of the regulated microbial number, probability of pathogen survival in dry mixtures was assessed under standard parameters of spray drying technology. The calculation results showed that under this scenario of raw material contamination, 0.3–0.5 CFU of heat-resistant E.sakazakii (Cronobacter spp.) can be retained in 1 g of a finished product. This substantiates the necessity to introduce the strongest possible requirements for the microbiological quality of raw milk.

Recent findings in occupational medicine have demonstrated that common pathology is one of the main factors determining poor health of workers in hazardous industries. Non-occupational pathology also has a significant effect on timing of occupational disease onset. Our objective was to conduct a comparative analysis of comorbidities in patients with different occupational diseases. The study was conducted retrospectively. We created a database of medical records of aluminum and refractory workers and analyzed all diagnoses and systemic disorders identified during the clinical examination of these patients using SPSS Statistics 23. The comorbidity index was used to determine the degree of somatic burden of the subjects. We assessed transnosological and transsystemic multimorbidity, as well as the relationship between multimorbidity and the diagnosed occupational disease. The hypothesis for normality of the indicators under study was tested by carrying out calculations using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, which allowed the use of parametric sample estimates, Student's t-test and one-way analysis of variance for data analysis. We established comorbidities that were significantly more frequent among the patients suffering from fluorosis or silicosis. Exposure to occupational hazards in different industries affects the profile of comorbidity. We observed a pronounced polysystemic nature of lesions in aluminum production workers and the predominance of comorbid diseases of the respiratory system in refractory workers. The level of multimorbidity among the workers of the refractory industry was significantly lower than that in the aluminum production, which allows a conclusion on a more pronounced negative impact of a combination of hazards in the latter on workers’ health.

Organ-on-chip is an innovative technique that emerged from tissue engineering and microfluidic
technologies. Organ-on-chip devices (OoCs) are anticipated to provide efficient explanations for dealing with
challenges in pharmaceutical advancement and individualized illness therapies. Organ-on-chip is an advanced
method that can replicate human organs' physiological conditions and functions on a small chip. It possesses
the capacity to greatly transform the drug development process by enabling the simulation of diseases and the
testing of drugs. Effective integration of this advanced technical platform with common pharmaceutical and
medical contexts is still a challenge. Microfluidic technology, a micro-level technique, has become a potent
tool for biomedical engineering research. As a result, it has revolutionized disciplines, including physiological
material interpreting, compound detection, cell-based assay, tissue engineering, biological diagnostics, and
pharmaceutical identification. This article aims to offer an overview of newly developed organ-on-a-chip systems.
It includes single-organ platforms, emphasizing the most researched organs, including the heart, liver,
blood arteries, and lungs. Subsequently, it provides a concise overview of tumor-on-a-chip systems and emphasizes

Long Non-coding RNAs Regulating Macrophage Polarization in Liver Cancer
Authors: Jia Dengke , He Yaping , Zhang Yawu
Published: June 2024

:

Primary liver cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. At present, liver
cancer is often in an advanced stage once diagnosed, and treatment effects are generally poor. Therefore,
there is an urgent need for other powerful treatments. Macrophages are an important component of the tumor
microenvironment, and macrophage polarization is crucial to tumor proliferation and differentiation. Regulatory
interactions between macrophage subtypes, such as M1 and M2, lead to a number of clinical outcomes, including
tumor progression and metastasis. So, it is important to study the drivers of this process. Long non-coding
RNA has been widely proven to be of great value in the early diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Many
studies have shown that long non-coding RNA participates in macrophage polarization through its ability to
drive M1 or M2 polarization, thereby participating in the occurrence and development of liver cancer. In this
article, we systematically elaborated on the long non-coding RNAs involved in the polarization of liver cancer
macrophages, hoping to provide a new idea for the early diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. Liver cancer-
related studies were retrieved from PubMed. Based on our identification of lncRNA and macrophage polarization
as powerful therapies for liver cancer, we analyzed research articles in the PubMed system in the
last ten years on the crosstalk between lncRNA and macrophage polarization. By targeting M1/M2
macrophage polarization, lncRNA may promote or suppress liver cancer, and the references are determined primarily
by the article's impact factor. Consequently, the specific mechanism of action between lncRNA and
M1/M2 macrophage polarization was explored, along with the role of their crosstalk in the occurrence, proliferation,
and metastasis of liver cancer. LncRNA is bidirectionally expressed in liver cancer and can target
macrophage polarization to regulate tumor behavior. LncRNA mainly functions as ceRNA and can participate
in the crosstalk between liver cancer cells and macrophages through extracellular vesicles. LncRNA can potentially
participate in the immunotherapy of liver cancer by targeting macrophages and becoming a new biomolecular
marker of liver cancer.
Xanthenes: Novelty and Green Photocatalysis for the Formation of Carbon-carbon or
Carbon-heteroatom Bond

This review covers photoreduction reactions using xanthenes reported from 2011
to date and compares them with the conventional photocatalytic method. Xanthenes have
strong absorption in the visible light spectrum (520-550 nm), and their redox potential resembles
organometallic complexes, such as those containing Ir or Ru, and they are also easy
to handle and accessible. In addition to being metal-free, photocatalysis with xanthenes is
performed under mild reaction conditions. For instance, no radical initiators are needed
because the energy sources are led devices or household lamps, most reactions are performed
at room temperature in common solvents (MeOH, MeCN, acetone, DMSO), and an
anhydrous or inert atmosphere is usually not required. As a result, xanthene dyes hold the
promise of a more environmentally friendly synthesis of organic compounds.
ROR1-AS1: A Meaningful Long Noncoding RNA in Oncogenesis
Authors: Fan Hong , Zhou Yunxi , Zhang Ziyan , Zhou Gang , Yuan Chengfu
Published: June 2024

:

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is a non-coding RNA with a length of more than 200
nucleotides, involved in multiple regulatory processes in vivo, and is related to the physiology and
pathology of human diseases. An increasing number of experimental results suggest that when
lncRNA is abnormally expressed, it results in the development of tumors. LncRNAs can be divided
into five broad categories: sense, antisense, bidirectional, intronic, and intergenic. Studies have
found that some antisense lncRNAs are involved in a variety of human tumorigenesis. The newly
identified ROR1-AS1, which functions as an antisense RNA of ROR1, is located in the 1p31.3 region
of the human genome. Recent studies have reported that abnormal expression of lncRNA
ROR1-AS1 can affect cell growth, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis and increase oncogenesis
and tumor spread, indicating lncRNA ROR1-AS1 as a promising target for many tumor biological
therapies. In this study, the pathophysiology and molecular mechanism of ROR1-AS1 in various
malignancies are discussed by retrieving the related literature.

:

ROR1-AS1 is a cancer-associated lncRNA, and studies have found that it is either over- or underexpressed
in multiple malignancies, including liver cancer, colon cancer, osteosarcoma, glioma,
cervical cancer, bladder cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. Furthermore, it
has been demonstrated that lncRNA ROR1-AS1 participates in proliferation, migration, invasion,
and suppression of apoptosis of cancer cells.

:

Furthermore, lncRNA ROR1-AS1 promotes the development of tumors by up-regulating or downregulating
ROR1-AS1 conjugates and various pathways and miR-504, miR-4686, miR-670-3p, and
miR-375 sponges, etc., suggesting that lncRNA ROR1-AS1 may be used as a marker in tumors or a
potential therapeutic target for a variety of tumors.
Cyber Forensic: End-to-End Secure Chat Application Value Beyond Claimed Encryption Method
Authors: Suthar Hepi
Published: June 2024

The everyday rise in third-party applications across different app stores,
mobile operating systems, mobile hardware, and application versions themselves has
not only prompted but to a certain degree, necessitated the digital forensics community
and digital forensics researchers to investigate various applications that are not
inherently supported and parsed by commercial forensics tools. Apart from the
capabilities associated with various forensic tools, depending on the case, many
forensic investigators may come across the most unthought-of third-party applications
for investigation. The only questions then would be: 1) How to parse such data? 2) Is
there anything of forensic value? And 3) Some third-party application manufacturers
claim that they encrypt data. However, due to the lack of time and technology, in some
instances, when there is no access to or knowledge of the decryption method, where
and how do find data pertinent to the investigation? Depending on the circumstances
mentioned above, is it crucial to come to a firm conclusion about how and where some
data resides for certain third-party applications, regardless of what the manufacturers
claim. There is a plethora of third-party applications out right now that are utilized by
people for a variety of purposes, whether it is for good or bad. Oftentimes, as forensics
practitioners, it is our job to dig down and hunt for data that can give us some insight
into what was going on in the device, related to a particular application. These
applications may offer capabilities such as geolocations, communications, networkrelated artifacts, etc., that can be of value to certain cases.

Authors: Salazar Llorente Enrique José , Cobos Mora Fernando Javier , Viteri García Iván Patricio , Bucaram Lara Genesis del Rocío
Published: June 2024

In the present work, the characteristics of the effect of dietary fiber in two types of soft drinks were compared,
considering beverages with low and high sucrose content, using a 22 experiment design for the independent
variables amount of dietary fiber and sucrose content. The dependent variable was the percentage of soluble
solids, and experimental runs were carried out to establish the stability of the product during the process. The
design mentioned above determined significant differences in physicochemical parameters, such as increased
fiber percentage and sucrose amount in final brix degrees. Samples of the Beverage were taken during processing and evaluated over time to establish the behavior of soluble solids, density, and the amount of fiber
during the pasteurization process, which was determined at 85ºC for 120 seconds. The behavior of the unpasteurized soft drink was also studied at refrigeration temperature for one day in samples with sucrose and
partially substituted with sucralose, enriched with dietary fiber and without its addition, to evaluate and analyze if the thermal effect determines a significant difference in the quality of the finished product. The laboratory analyses were based on a quantitative, enzymatic-gravimetric analysis of dietary fiber and soluble solids.
The best option was chosen considering the best variety of soft drinks with low sucrose content and enriched
with dietary fiber, increasing the beverage's nutritional value. This selection was implemented in a soft drink
factory, and the procedure was standardized at the industrial level. The development of this research contributed to technological improvements reflected in the product's final price, minimizing costs and highlighting
that with a minimum investment, it is competitive. The results of the tests performed on the carbonated beverage to determine the response variables were statistically analyzed using STATGRAPHICS software. The
triplicate results of each trial were initially evaluated for significant differences attributable to the treatments,
and the validity of the data was verified by analysis of their distributions, considering a relative error of less
than 10%. Finally, current computer programs automatically calculate the p-value, and for the interpretation
of the various results, this calculated value is compared with a pre-established confidence level, which generally is 95%.

Predictive Factors of Physicians’ Satisfaction and Quality of Work Under Teleconsultation Conditions: Structural Equation Analysis
Authors: Hawrysz Liliana , Kludacz-Alessandri Magdalena , Walczak Renata
Published: June 2024

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to an increase in teleconsultation adoption in the Polish primary health care system. It is expected that in the long run, teleconsultations will successfully replace a significant part of face-to-face visits. Therefore, a significant challenge facing primary health care facilities (PHCs) is the acceptance of teleconsultations by their users, especially physicians.

Objective

This study aimed to explore physicians’ acceptance of teleconsultations during the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland.

Methods

A representative survey was conducted among 361 physicians of PHCs across Poland in 2021. For the purposes of the study, we developed a modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) model. Based on the modified TAM, we analyzed the impact of perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), and intention to use teleconsultation (INT) on physicians’ satisfaction (SAT) and quality of work (Q). The psychometric properties of the research instrument were examined using exploratory factor analysis. Finally, structural equation modeling was used for data analysis.

Results

The results indicated a generally high level of PU (mean 3.85-4.36, SD 0.87-1.18), PEU (mean 3.81-4.60, SD 0.60-1.42), INT (mean 3.87-4.22, SD 0.89-1.12), and SAT (mean 3.55-4.13, SD 0.88-1.16); the lowest rated dimension in TAM was Q (mean 3.28-3.73, SD 1.06-1.26). The most important independent variable was PU. The influence of PU on INT (estimate=0.63, critical ratio [CR]=15.84, P<.001) and of PU on SAT (estimate=0.44, CR= 9.53, P<.001) was strong. INT was also a key factor influencing SAT (estimate=0.4, CR=8.57, P<.001). A weaker relationship was noted in the effect of PEU on INT (estimate=0.17, CR=4.31, P<.001). In turn, Q was positively influenced by INT (estimate=0.179, CR=3.64, P<.001), PU (estimate=0.246, CR=4.79, P<.001), PEU (estimate=0.18, CR=4.93, P<.001), and SAT (estimate=0.357, CR=6.97, P<.001). All paths between the constructs (PU, PEU, INT, SAT, and Q) were statistically significant, which highlights the multifaceted nature of the adoption of teleconsultations among physicians.

Conclusions

Our findings provide strong empirical support for the hypothesized relationships in TAM. The findings suggest that the PU and PEU of teleconsultation have a significant impact on the intention of physicians to adopt teleconsultation. This results in an improvement in the satisfaction of Polish physicians with the use of teleconsultation and an increase in Q. The study contributes to both theory and practice by identifying important prognostic factors affecting physicians’ acceptance of teleconsultation systems.

Doctors’ Personal Preference and Adoption of Mobile Apps to Communicate with Patients in China: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Chen Dongjin , Han Wenchao , Yang Yili , Pan Jay
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Different kinds of mobile apps are used to promote communications between patients and doctors. Studies have investigated patients’ mobile app adoption behavior; however, they offer limited insights into doctors’ personal preferences among a variety of choices of mobile apps.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate the nuanced adoption behaviors among doctors in China, which has a robust adoption of mobile apps in health care, and to explore the constraints influencing their selection of specific mobile apps. This paper addressed 3 research questions: (1) Which doctors opt to adopt mobile apps to communicate with patients? (2) What types of mobile apps do they choose? (3) To what degree do they exercise personal choice in adopting specific mobile apps?

METHODS

We used thematic content analysis of qualitative data gathered from semistructured interviews with 11 doctors in Hangzhou, which has been recognized for its advanced adoption of mobile technology in social services, including health care services. The selection of participants was purposive, encompassing diverse departments and hospitals.

RESULTS

In total, 5 themes emerged from the data analysis. First, the interviewees had a variety of options for communicating with patients via mobile apps, with the predominant ones being social networking apps (eg, WeChat) and medical platforms (eg, Haodf). Second, all interviewees used WeChat to facilitate communication with patients, although their willingness to share personal accounts varied (they are more likely to share with trusty intermediaries). Third, fewer than half of the doctors adopted medical platforms, and they were all from tertiary hospitals. Fourth, the preferences for in-person, WeChat, or medical platform communication reflected the interviewees’ perceptions of different patient cohorts. Lastly, the selection of a particular kind of mobile app was significantly influenced by the doctors’ affiliation with hospitals, driven by their professional obligations to fulfill multiple tasks assigned by the hospitals or the necessity of maintaining social connections with their colleagues.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of doctors’ adoption behavior regarding specific types of mobile apps for patient communication, instead of addressing such adoption behavior of a wide range of mobile apps as equal. Their choices of a particular kind of app were positioned within a social context where health care policies (eg, limited funding for public hospitals, dominance of public health care institutions, and absence of robust referral systems) and traditional culture (eg, trust based on social connections) largely shape their behavioral patterns.

Authors: Choque Mariño Carlos Omar , Castillo Ramírez Daniel
Published: June 2024

Our work delves into Afro-indigenous patronage in Arica and its closest valleys, during the period called Late Colonial, specifically between the years 1695 to 1800. It analyzes the preferences and peculiarities that occur in the area, around this sacred commitment, their motivations and scope, tending to the formation of networks and the emergence of notable subjects, of various ethnic categories. Although Arica and its nearby valleys are a reflection of the administrative metropolis, the parish and notarial records show certain margins of rapprochement, predilection or reluctance among the various castes that make up the study area, in relation to the reality observed in the system of haciendas and urban society in Lima; mainly due to the reduced local population, which motivated the need to strengthen relations between the various existing ethnic categories.

Published: June 2024

Los espacios universitarios no se encuentran libres de la existencia de violencia de género, particularmente de hostigamiento y acoso sexual. En respuesta, las instituciones de educación superior han desarrollado acciones diversas, entre las que se incluyen la sensibilización, el desarrollo de protocolos y los mecanismos de atención. Empero, el impacto de estas acciones en la reducción de la incidencia del fenómeno no ha sido abordado suficientemente. El propósito del presente estudio fue identificar la prevalencia de acoso y hostigamiento sexual en estudiantes inscritos en una universidad pública estatal, ante las acciones institucionales emprendidas para su erradicación. Se desarrolló una investigación de tipo cuantitativo y alcance descriptivo, donde se aplicó un cuestionario a 396 estudiantes de una misma facultad. Entre los hallazgos se confirma la extensión del fenómeno, su normalización y la insuficiente difusión y aplicación de las políticas y el protocolo existente.

HERITAGE AND IMPROVEMENT:FROM WANG BI’S ZHOUYI ZHU TO CHENG YI’S ZHOUYI CHENGSHI ZHUAN
Authors: Fang XU Yi
Published: June 2024

Cheng Yi, like most neo-Confucian scholars in the Song Dynasty, was deeply influenced by Wang Bi’s thoughts on “Yi-ology”. The two scholars were very similar in their interpretation of the text of the “Book of Changes”. Both of them are renowned scholars of “Yi Li” school (or meaning-pattern) in which scholars study philosophical problems of the “Book of Changes”. We all know that Cheng Yi was a Confucian scholar. However, Wang Bi’s thought was derived from Taoism. The hermeneutic method of “Zhouyi Zhu”(Wang Bi’s annotation of the “Book of Changes”) was inherited by Cheng Yi and removed the Taoist thought contained in this book.Cheng Yi absorbed Wang Bi’s thought and wrote the “Zhouyi Chengshi Zhuan” (Cheng Yi’s annotation of the “Book of Changes”). This paper will elaborate on aspects which Cheng Yi had absorbed Wang Bi’s thoughts and particularize improvements, which made by Cheng Yi, on Wang Bi’s “Yi-ology”.

Уг философийн сургаал хүний тухай уламжлалт хэвшмэл ойлголтуудыг шүүмжлэх замаар экзистенциал онтологийг бүтээсэн байдаг. Ийм онтологи сургаал боловсруулахад арга зүйн хувьд нөлөөлсөн баримтлал бол феноменологи юм. Трансцендентал субъектийн онтологи статусыг феноменологи үндэслэсэн явдал нь экзистенциализмд онолын хувьд чухал нөлөө үзүүлжээ.
Allusive Subtexts in Ivan Bunin’s Short Story Cycle “Dark Alleys”
Authors:   University Lorand Etvesh, Racz Ildiko Maria
Published: June 2024

The intertextual aspects of the collection of short stories “Dark Alleys” have begun to interest Bunin scholars only in recent years. The quotations and reminiscences found in the “love narratives” of this short story cycle can be interpreted, first and foremost, as allusions to the works of the Russian classics (Gogolian, Turgenevian and Chekhovian subtexts). Our analysis of the thematic, structural, figurative and genre features of the stories of “Dark Alleys” focuses on a range of issues related to the three “organic principles”, as Bunin called them — love, death and nature. The characters of these late “miniatures”, like the hero of Dante’s “Divine Comedy” guided by Virgil, descend into the hell of passions and visit its dark corners. The feminine principle leads them along, yet the boundaries of their earthly existence do not allow them to experience the cosmic perfection of this principle. Being in all its fullness and beauty is revealed to them only for a moment, which Bunin’s heroes retain in the depths of their souls. They remember until the end of their lives the minute when they irretrievably squandered “the dearest and sweetest to the heart”.
Mozart or Wagner? Mikhail Kuzmin and the Musical Aesthetics of Symbolism
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Magomedova Dina M. ,   Russian State University of Humanities
Published: June 2024

This article examines the evolution of the concept of music in the works of M. Kuzmin as part of the general context of Russian Symbolist theory. A professional musician, Kuzmin, like all other Symbolists, began with the cult of Richard Wagner in the 1900s. However, there was always a second cult figure in his creative consciousness, to which most symbolists were indifferent — W.A. Mozart. From the second half of the 1910s, Kuzmin increasingly contrasted these composers, casting his preference for Mozart. In so doing, Kuzmin made an aesthetic and even ideological choice between two different artistic worlds. In 1924, he translated Mozart’s mystery opera “The Magic Flute” into Russian. In the article, the mystery plot of redemption in Wagner’s musical drama “Parsifal” is compared with the mystery of initiation as a personal choice in Mozart’s opera. It is argued that M. Kuzmin created an alternative concept of music in the theory of Russian Symbolism.
From Notes on the 16th Verse of the Fourth Chapter of “Eugene Onegin”
Authors: Glushakov Pavel S.
Published: June 2024

This article is a commentary on one passage from the fourth chapter of “Eugene Onegin” by Alexander Pushkin, where Onegin “preaches” his moral principles to Tatyana. These moralizing maxims not only have something in common with Tatyana’s letter to Onegin but also include ready-made rhetorical structures — first and foremost, ancient sayings. Already the first line contains the “momentous” maxim that “there is no return to dreams and years”, which derives simultaneously from two sources: Virgil and Horace. The expression “without anger and passion” entered the Onegin’s “sermon” from Tacitus’ “Annals”, while the lines “I love you with the love of a brother” echo the words of the prince from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It is argued that Onegin’s “cold sermon” is based on the same type of stylistic devices as those used by Pushkin in his early romantic works.
Fiction and Mythopoetics in M. Lermontov’s Novella “Taman”
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Karpov Alexander A.
Published: June 2024

This article examines previously overlooked pretexts of Lermontov’s novella “Taman” (an anecdote about Marshal Turenne from P. Blanchard’s “A Consolation for Children, or Useful and Pleasant Reading”, E. Scribе’s libretto “The Oath, or the Money Forgers” and A. Pushkin’s poem “The Nereid”). These observations cast new light on the novella’s genre and its dependence on the literary tradition.
Gogol’s Wanderings
Authors: Solivetti Carla Maria , Marchenkov Artem
Published: June 2024

This article investigates the role of the travel topos in Gogol’s literary and personal mythopoetics. It is a reflection on Y. Mann’s decision to present Gogol’s biography through the genre code of the travelogue. The analysis of biographical documents, the recollections of Gogol’s contemporaries, and his epistolary archive makes it possible to reconstruct the relationship between the writer’s artistic vision and his wandering lifestyle. It is shown how a romantic attitude to the search for a spiritual homeland was transformed over the years into a conscious choice to follow the path of a wanderer. The reconstruction of the causes and cultural contexts that motivated such a choice leads to the conclusion that the phenomenon of religious and socio-utopian wandering played a key role in Gogol’s self-identification and literary strategy.

Genetic analyses of host-specific parasites can elucidate the
evolutionary histories and biological features of their hosts. Here, we
used population-genomic analyses of ectoparasitic seal lice
(Echinophthirius horridus) to shed light on the postglacial
history of seals in the Arctic Ocean and the Baltic Sea region. One key
question was the enigmatic origin of relict landlocked ringed seal
populations in lakes Saimaa and Ladoga in northern Europe. We found that
that lice of four postglacially diverged subspecies of the ringed seal
(Pusa hispida) and Baltic gray seal (Halichoerus grypus),
like their hosts, form genetically differentiated entities. Using
coalescent-based demographic inference, we show that the sequence of
divergences of the louse populations is consistent with the geological
history of lake formation. In addition, local effective population sizes
of the lice are generally proportional to the census sizes of their
respective seal host populations. Genome-based reconstructions of
long-term effective population sizes revealed clear differences among
louse populations associated with gray vs. ringed seals, with apparent
links to Pleistocene and Holocene climatic variation as well as to the
isolation histories of ringed seal subspecies. Interestingly, our
analyses also revealed ancient gene flow between the lice of Baltic gray
and ringed seals, suggesting that the distributions of Baltic seals
overlapped to a greater extent in the past than is the case today. Taken
together, our results demonstrate how genomic information from
specialized parasites with higher mutation and substitution rates than
their hosts can potentially illuminate finer scale population genetic
patterns than similar data from their hosts.

automated provenance, and distributed collaborative workflow management.
Solution: This study introduces a conceptual framework and its
prototype implementation called Decentralized Virtual Research
Environment (D-VRE). This approach enhances seamless, trusted data
sharing and collaboration within research lifecycles. It incorporates
custom sharing policies, secure asset management, collaborative
workflows, and research activity tracking, all without centralized
oversight. Evaluation: Demonstrated through a real-world case
study in the CLARIFY project, the prototype of the decentralized virtual
research environment proved effective in enabling advanced data sharing
and collaborative scenarios, showcasing its adaptability in scientific
research. Results: Integrated into JupyterLab, D-VRE supports
custom collaboration agreements and smart contract-based automated
execution on the Ethereum blockchain. This ensures secure, verifiable
transactions and promotes trust and reliability in shared research
findings. Contribution: D-VRE addresses barriers to scientific
research collaboration and data sharing, offering a scalable and
adaptable decentralized model. This model promotes a more inclusive,
efficient, and trustworthy research ecosystem, paving the way for future
advancements in virtual research environments.
Comparing satellite and BGC-Argo chlorophyll estimation: a phenological study
Authors: Baudena Alberto , Taillandier Vincent , Mayot Nicolas , Mignot Alexandre , Riom Wilhem , D'Ortenzio Fabrizio
Published: June 2024

Ocean primary production is a key process that regulates marine
ecosystems and the global climate, but its estimation is still affected
by multiple uncertainties. Typically, the chlorophyll-a concentration
(CHL) is used to characterise this process, as it is considered a proxy
of phytoplankton biomass. To date, the most common observing systems for
studying CHL are ocean colour satellites and BGC-Argo floats. Those are
complementary systems: satellite observations provide global coverage
but are limited to the ocean surface, while BGC-Argo floats provide
punctual observations along the whole water column. Comparison of these
two observing systems has been performed only at regional or
single-float scales, while at global scale this results in large
uncertainties due to the relatively low and irregular BGC-Argo coverage.
Here, we propose a different method, by comparing satellite and BGC-Argo
climatological annual time series within seven different bioregions,
each characterised by a homogeneous phytoplankton phenology, allowing us
to smooth the uncertainties. By comparing the mean values, the
amplitudes, and the shapes of the two time series, we are able to
identify regions (a) where they agree (58-61% of the ocean surface
area); (b) where the BGC-Argo float network should be extended
(generally regions with less than 5 profiles each 100x100 km2 square);
(c) where the discrepancy is likely due to satellite or (d) BGC-Argo
performance. Use of either BGC-Argo and satellite data in regions b—d
should be carried carefully and we provide, for each region, suggestions
on which system could be affected by the largest uncertainties.
