Authors: Owuondo Joseph
Published: November 2023

This paper delved into a comprehensive study to explore the different dynamics surrounding R&D, innovation, and educational development in the diverse regions of the Global South. The research methodology used was a comprehensive literature review that involved the meticulous selection of secondary sources directly aligned with the objectives of the study. The paper embarked on an exploration to investigate the effectiveness of policies and incentives in promoting R&D, the alignment of educational curricula with evolving job markets in the industry, and the pivotal role played by collaboration of various sectors such as educational institutions, industries, and governments in fostering innovation. The study found that policies and incentives can indeed stimulate R&D, but transparency and accessibility are imperative for their success. Curriculum alignment and constant monitoring are therefore vital in meeting the demands of the evolving job market. Collaboration is the cornerstone of innovation, but success hinges on clear governance structures and shared goals. In conclusion, the study offers a strategy for policymakers, educational institutions, industries, and governments in the Global South on how to measures to implement realize increased R&D and innovation. The study recommends prioritizing comprehensive R&D strategies, fostering a culture of innovation, aligning curricula with industry needs, and promoting interdisciplinary education. This is the roadmap through which countries in the Global South can harness the power of education and innovation to achieve sustainable development. Encouraging public-private partnerships and adopting localized interventions are essential steps toward a brighter educational future that shapes the discourse on global educational development and innovation.
La discriminación laboral por causas atípicas: el aspecto físico y la posesión de enfermedades contagiosas
Authors: Serra Callejo Javier
Published: November 2023

Hace varios años leí en la HARVARD LAW REVIEW un artículo titulado «FACIALDISCRIMINATION: EXTENDING HANDICAP LAW TO EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF PHYSICAL APPEARANCE». En él se pone de manifiesto que las personas cuyo aspecto físico choca intensamente con los cánones de belleza que maneja la mayoría social [hombres o mujeres extremadamente obesos o delgados, enanos o gigantes, personas con cicatrices horribles en el rostro o simplemente con rasgos muy asimétricos ...] sufren una grave discriminación en el ámbito laboral, tan ilegítima -desde el punto de vista constitucional- como la fundada en el sexo o la raza del trabajador.

Published: November 2023

Cantharidin is a bioactive toxin produced by the blister beetles commonly called Spanish fly. This natural compound is a bicyclic monoterpene (C10H12O4 ) that has clinical application as an anti-inflammatory, antiviral as well as antitumor agent and has been widely used to treat a variety of skin-related diseases. There are several reports of consumption of dried blister beetles and their traditional formulations due to a long history of the supposed aphrodisiac property of cantharidin. The present study, therefore, aimed at investigating the biochemical and histological changes in the testes of male albino rats of Wistar strain due to oral intake of Cantharis Q, a crude alcoholic extract of blister beetle Lytta vesicatoria used as mother tincture and as diluted potentized form in homeopathy. The experimental rats were given Cantharis Q dosage of 500 µg/Kg body weight for 60 days and the subsequent autorecovery was also studied after 30 days without treatment. The treated rats showed a significant decrease in the weight of testis, seminiferous tubular diameter and sperm count. Activity of testicular acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), hyaluronidase (HL) enzyme and content of cholesterol, total protein, DNA and RNA decreased significantly whereas activity of beta-glucuronidase (BG) enzyme and glycogen was significantly increased. Spermatogenesis stages VIII, IX and X showed sloughing of round spermatids into the tubular lumen. The animals kept for autorecovery showed only partial improvement. Thus, it could be concluded that the treatment had a negative impact on the physiological function of testis of albino rat causing detrimental effects on the spermatogenic activity

Research on ideological biases and polarization on social media platforms primarilyfocuses on news and political content. Non-political content, which isvastly more popular, is often overlooked. Because partisanship is correlatedwith citizens’ non-political attitudes and non-political content can carry politicalcues, we explore whether ideological biases and partisan segregation extendto users’ non-political exposures online. We focus on YouTube, one of the mostpopular platforms. We rely online data from American adults (N = 2,237).From over 129 million visits to over 37 million URLs, we analyze 1,037,392visits to YouTube videos from 1,874 participants. We identify YouTube channelsof 942 news domains, utilize a BERT-based classifier to identify politicalvideos outside news channels, and estimate the ideology of all the videos inour data. We compare ideological biases in exposure to (a) news, (b) political,and (c) non-political content. We examine both exposure congeniality (i.e., areusers consuming like-minded content?) and polarization (i.e. are there overlapsbetween Democrats and Republicans in the content they consume?). Wefind substantial congeniality in the consumption of news and political videos,especially among Republicans, and high levels of polarization in this exposure(i.e., limited overlaps between Democrats and Republicans). We also showthat both exposure congeniality and polarization are significantly lower fornon-political content, in that non-political videos are less likely to be ideologicallylike-minded and both Democrats and Republicans consume similarnon-political content. Theoretical and practical implications of these findingsare discussed.

Comorbid diabetes mellitus (DM) in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients may increase the risk of death even with or during TB treatment. Immunocompromised conditions due to DM increase the risk of infection and sputum conversion failure. The risk of recurrence in comorbid patient is also higher after treatment. Objective of this research is to describe the comparison of further microscopic examination of pulmonary tuberculosis patients without DM and pulmonary tuberculosis patients with a history of diabetes at the Kedundung Public Health Center. The study was conducted by observing each of 15 TB positive sputum samples accompanied by a history of DM and those without any history of DM 2 months post-treatment on further microscopic examination. Further microscopic examination showed that 100% of sputum samples of TB patients without a history of DM and receiving treatment gave negative results, while sputum samples of TB patients with DM history and receiving treatment, while sputum samples of patients who had received treatment showed results of 2+ by 80% and 3+ by 20% and there were no negative results for TB. These results prove that there is an effect of a history of DM disease on TB treatment outcomes. Keywords : Further microscopic examination, Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), Diabetes Mellitus (DM)

Geostationary aerosol retrievals of extreme biomass burning plumes during the 2019–20 Australian bushfires

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Extreme biomass burning (BB) events, such as those seen during the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season, are becoming more frequent and intense with climate change. Ground-based observations of these events can provide useful information on the macro- and micro-physical properties of the plumes, but these observations are sparse, especially in regions which are at risk of intense bushfire events. Satellite observations of extreme BB events provide a unique perspective, with the newest generation of geostationary imagers, such as the Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI), observing entire continents at moderate spatial and high temporal resolution. However, current passive satellite retrieval methods struggle to capture the high values of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) seen during these BB events. Accurate retrievals are necessary for global and regional studies of shortwave radiation, air quality modelling and numerical weather prediction. To address these issues, the Optimal Retrieval of Aerosol and Cloud (ORAC) algorithm has used AHI data to measure extreme BB plumes from the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season. The sensitivity of the retrieval to the assumed optical properties of BB plumes is explored by comparing retrieved AOT with AERONET L1.5 data over the AERONET site at Tumbarumba, New South Wales, between 1 December 2019 00:00 UTC to 3 January 2020 00:00 UTC. The study shows that for AOT values > 2, the sensitivity to assumed optical properties is substantial. The ORAC retrievals and AERONET data are compared against the JAXA Aerosol Retrieval Product (ARP), MODIS Deep Blue over land, MODIS MAIAC, SLSTR SYN and VIIRS Deep Blue products. The comparison shows the ORAC retrieval significantly improves coverage of optically thick plumes relative to the JAXA ARP, with approximately twice as many pixels retrieved and peak retrieved AOT values 1.4 higher than the JAXA ARP. The ORAC retrievals have accuracy scores between 0.742–0.744 compared to the values of 0.718–0.833 for the polar-orbiting satellite products, despite successfully retrieving approximately 28 times as many pixels over the study period as the most successful polar-orbiting satellite product. The AHI and MODIS satellite products are compared for three case studies covering a range of BB plumes over Australia. The results show good agreement between all products for plumes with AOT values ≤ 2. For extreme BB plumes, the ORAC retrieval finds values of AOT > 15, significantly higher than those seen in events classified as extreme by previous studies although with high uncertainty. A combination of hard limits in the retrieval algorithms and misclassification of BB plumes as cloud prevent the JAXA and MODIS products from returning AOT values significantly greater than 5.
Improving measurements of microbial growth, death, and turnover by accounting for extracellular DNA in soils

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Microbial respiration, growth and turnover are driving processes in the formation and decomposition of soil organic matter. In contrast to respiration and growth, microbial turnover and death currently lack distinct methods to be determined. Here we propose a new approach to determine microbial death rates and to improve measurements of microbial growth. By combining sequential DNA extraction to distinguish between intracellular and extracellular DNA and 18O incorporation into DNA, we were able to measure microbial death rates. We first evaluated methods to determine and extract intracellular and extracellular DNA separately. We then tested the method by subjecting soil from a temperate agricultural field and a deciduous beech forest to either 20 °C, 30 °C or 45 °C for 24 h. Our results show, that while mass specific respiration and gross growth either increased with temperature or remained stable, microbial death rates strongly increased at 45 °C and caused a decrease in microbial biomass and thus in microbial net growth. We further found that also extracellular DNA pools decreased at 45 °C compared to lower temperatures, further indicating enhanced uptake and recycling of extracellular DNA along with increased respiration, growth and death rates. Additional experiments including soils from more and different ecosystems as well as testing the effects of factors other than temperature on microbial death are certainly necessary to better understand the role of microbial death in soil C cycling. We are nevertheless confident that this new approach to determine microbial death rates and dynamics of intracellular and extracellular DNA separately will help to improve concepts and models of C dynamics in soils in the future.
Surface networks in the Arctic may miss a future "methane bomb"

Published: November 2023

Abstract. The Arctic is warming up to four times faster than the global average, leading to significant environmental changes. Given the sensitivity of natural methane (CH4) sources to environmental conditions, increasing Arctic temperatures are expected to lead to higher CH4 emissions, particularly due to permafrost thaw and the exposure of organic matter. Some estimates therefore assume an Arctic "methane bomb" where vast CH4 amounts are rapidly released. This study examines the ability of the in-situ observation network to detect such events in the Arctic, a generally poorly constrained region. Using the FLEXPART atmospheric transport model and varying CH4 emission scenarios, we found that areas with a dense observation network could detect a "methane bomb" in 2 to 10 years. In contrast, regions with sparse coverage would need 10 to 30 years, with potential false positives in other areas.
Changing Sea Level, Changing Shorelines: Comparison of Remote Sensing Observations at the Terschelling Barrier Island
Authors: Aschenneller Bene , Rietbroek Roelof , van der Wal Daphne
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Sea level rise is associated with increased coastal erosion and inundation. However, the effects of sea level change on the shoreline can be enhanced or counteracted by vertical land motion and morphological processes. Therefore, knowledge about the individual contributions of sea level change, vertical land motion and morphodynamics on shoreline changes is necessary to make informed choices when applying coastal defence measures. Here, we assess the potential of remote sensing techniques to detect a geometrical relationship between sea level rise and shoreline retreat for a case study at the Terschelling barrier island at the Northern Dutch coast. First, we find that sea level observations from satellite radar altimetry retracked with ALES can represent sea level variations between 2002 and 2022 at the shoreline when the region to extract altimetry timeseries is chosen carefully. Second, results for cross-shore timeseries of satellite-derived shorelines extracted from optical remote sensing images can change considerably dependent on choices made for tidal correction and parameter settings during the computation of timeseries. While absolute shoreline positions can differ on average by more than 200 m, the average trend differences are below 1 m yr-1. Third, by intersecting the 1992 land elevation with time variable sea level, we find that inundation through sea level rise caused on average -0.3 m yr-1 of shoreline retreat between 1992 and 2022. The actual shoreline movement in this period was on average between -2.8 m yr-1 and -3.2 m yr-1, leading to the interpretation that the larger part of shoreline changes at Terschelling is driven by morphodynamics. We conclude that the combination of sea level from radar altimetry, satellite derived shorelines and land elevation provides valuable information about the influence of sea level rise, vertical land motion and morphodynamics on shoreline movements.
Development of Indian summer monsoon precipitation biases in two seasonal forecasting systems and their response to large-scale drivers
Authors: Keane Richard J. , Srivastava Ankur , Martin Gill M.
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The Met Office Global Coupled Model (GC) and the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFSv2) are both widely used for predicting and simulating the Indian summer monsoon (ISM), and previous studies have demonstrated similarities in the biases in both systems at a range of time scales from weather forecasting to climate simulation. In this study, ISM biases are studied in seasonal forecasting setups of the two systems, in order to provide insight into how they develop across time scales. Similarities are found in the development of the biases between the two systems, with an initial reduction in precipitation followed by a recovery associated with an increasingly cyclonic wind field to the north-east of India. However, this occurs on longer time scales in CFSv2, with a much stronger recovery followed by a second reduction associated with sea surface temperature (SST) biases, so that the bias at longer lead times is of a similar magnitude to that in GC. In GC, the precipitation bias is almost fully developed within a lead time of just eight days, suggesting that carrying out simulations with short time integrations may be sufficient for obtaining substantial insight into the biases in much longer simulations. The relationship between the precipitation and SST biases in GC seems to be more complex than in CFSv2, and is different during the early part of the monsoon season from during the later part of the monsoon season. The relationship of the bias with large-scale drivers is also investigated, using the Boreal Summer IntraSeasonal Oscillation (BSISO) index as a measure of whether the large-scale dynamics favours increasing, active, decreasing or break monsoon conditions. Both models simulate decreasing conditions the best and increasing conditions the worst, in agreement with previous studies and extending these previous results to include CFSv2 and multiple BSISO cycles.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Vegetation phenological shifts impact the terrestrial carbon and water cycle, and affects local climate system through biophysical and biochemical processes between biosphere and atmosphere. Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), serving as pivotal simulation tools for investigating terrestrial ecosystem carbon and water cycles, typically incorporate representations of vegetation phenological processes. Nevertheless, it is still a challenge to achieve accurate simulation of vegetation phenology in the DGVMs. Here, we developed and coupled the spring and autumn phenology models into one of the DGVMs, LPJ-GUESS. These process-based phenology models driven by temperature and photoperiod, and are parameterized for deciduous trees and shrubs using remote sensing-based phenological observations and reanalysis dataset ERA5 land. The results show that the developed LPJ-GUESS with new phenology modules substantially improved the accuracy in capturing start and end dates of growing seasons. For the start of growing season, the simulated RMSE for deciduous tree and shrubs decreased by 8.04 and 17.34, respectively. For the autumn phenology, the simulated RMSE for deciduous tree and shrubs decreased by 22.61 and 17.60, respectively. Interestingly, we have also found that differences in simulated start and end of growing season can largely alter the ecological niches and competitive relationships among different plant functional types (PFTs), and subsequentially impact the community structure and in turn influence the terrestrial carbon and water cycles. Hence, our study highlights the importance getting accurate of phenology estimation to reduce the uncertainties in plant distribution and terrestrial carbon and water cycling.
Studying Rhythmical Structures in Norwegian Folk Music and Dance Using Motion Capture Technology: A Case Study of Norwegian Telespringar
Authors: Haugen Mari Romarheim
Published: November 2023

Norwegian telespringar is often referred to as being in so-called asymmetrical triple meter that is, the three beats in the measure are of uneven duration. Previous studies report that a systematic long-medium-short beat duration pattern seems to be a prominent feature of telespringar. This paper investigates how motion data can be incorporated into studies of rhythmical structures in Norwegian telespringar using motion capture technology. It is reported from two motion capture studies: first, a fiddler playing telespringar on a Hardanger fiddle; second, a couple dancing telespringar. Participants' movements were recorded using an advanced optical infrared motion capture system. Motion analysis of the fiddler's foot stamping confirms the long-medium-short beat-duration hypothesis. In addition, the fiddler's upper-body movements seem to be in synchrony with the bar level of the music. Motion analysis of the up/down movement of the body's center of gravity in telespringar dancing shows a consistent libration pattern. These results appear to suggest that prominent rhythmical features of telespringar are represented in both the fiddler's and the dancers' body motion. They also indicate that motion capture technology is an effective means of investigating music-related movements in telespringar.

Given these findings, this work proposes to study the sexuality of patients with SCZ.
Introducing Transformative Plant Biotechnology: Multi-Knock – a multi-targeted transportome-scale amiRNA and CRISPR toolbox to overcome functional redundancy in plants
Authors: Anfang Moran
Published: November 2023

Plant genomes are characterized by large and complex gene families that often result in similar and partially overlapping functions. This genetic redundancy severely hampers current efforts to uncover novel phenotypes, delaying basic genetic research and breeding programs. To address the problem of masked phenotypic variation due to functional redundancy, we developed and validated Multi-Knock, a novel genetic approach in plants that combines forward-genetics with dynamically targeted genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 tools. A total of 59,129 multi-targeted sgRNAs, divided into 10 functional sub-libraries targeting 16,152 genes in Arabidopsis, were designed, synthesized, and cloned into a genome-editing intronized Cas9 vector. From this collection, 5,635 sgRNAs targeting 1,123 of the 1,327 transporters (TRP) in Arabidopsis were cloned into four different Cas9 vectors generating independent CRISPR libraries, wherein each sgRNA was designed to target closely related homologues within sub-clades in transporter families. A proof of concept forward-genetic screen using over 3,500 CRISPR lines targeting the plant transportome recovered multiple known phenotypes in Arabidopsis, demonstrating the validity of the approach. Moreover, our screen allowed us to uncover novel transporters whose function has been hidden due to genetic redundancy. Furthermore, we have established another unique targeted transportome-scale, forward-genetic approach to overcome functional redundancy in Arabidopsis. We generated a new tissue-specific amiRNA toolbox, containing libraries designed to target multiple transporter genes, driven under cell type-specific promoters. With the ability to overcome functional redundancy in a transportome-scale, cell type-specific manner, this toolbox will allow the plant research community to study previously hidden genetic factors required for long- and short-distance translocation of signaling molecules.

The development of any national economy is impossible without the active participation of the regions in this process. An important factor in strengthening and expanding the regional economy is foreign economic activity. Its role is especially great for the border regions. These regions include the Northwestern Federal District. Its geographical proximity to the countries of the Baltic-Scandinavian region, transport and industrial potential provided it with a leading position among Russian regions in terms of the degree of involvement in foreign economic relations. In the changed economic reality, conducting foreign economic activity in the previous model has become impossible. Therefore, there is a need to build a new model of foreign economic relations. In the article, the author analyzes the main directions in which the transformation of the region’s foreign economic activity and its prospects will take place.

The article is based on the results of content analysis of the texts of 30 strategies for the socio-economic development of Russian cities (with a population of 80 to 1 633 thousand people) adopted from 1997 to 2023. There are four periods in the use of strategic planning: proactive innovative strategizing (1997–2005); mass strategizing, strengthening regulation (2006–2013), strategizing under 172-FZ (2014–2019); strategizing in turbulence (2020–2022). The texts were studied for the frequency of occurrence of 135 marker words using three modifications of the counting technique. The words are grouped into 18 clusters that characterize the ideological and thematic (sectoral) orientation of the strategy. A list of the most popular marker words has been obtained. Each word is assigned to one of the 10 types of occurrence dynamics. The methodology has been developed and implemented to identify detailed (in the context of marker words) and aggregated (in the context of clusters) semantic profiles of each period, showing the specifics of the subject of strategies of this period. It has been evidentiated that interest in such topics as entrepreneurship, openness and space have remained relatively unchanged. Three of the four periods are characterized by accents on the topics of investment, locality, individuals and economy. Increased interest in such topics as marketing, innovation and tourism has manifested only in one of the periods. The study has allowed to verify the methodology and collect data for further in-depth study.

In the current crisis conditions, the most important state task has become to ensure a balance between the implementation of military-strategic initiatives and balanced socio-economic development. The article shows that, given the limited capabilities of the state, the participation of business in the development of the socio-economic sphere seems to be one of the most potentially «underutilized» elements, increasing attention to the implementation of social responsibility practices. The authors note that the state and business can act as interrelated parts of a single mechanism for the socio-economic development of society. However, the transformation of business into the driving force of this process is impossible without solving the systemic problems of the functioning of Russian business structures and creating adequate incentive mechanisms to achieve the necessary quantitative investment flow, balanced in the context of individual territories and areas of socio-economic development.

The article is devoted to the development of the ideas of the triadic approach to the organization of economic activity. The adoption of the triadic economy paradigm opens up the prospect of creating an integrated technological model of the economy in the form of a large language model containing complete information about the state and dynamics of the country’s technological complex. The competence of the model about the structure and functions of the technological complex is achieved by deep learning methods based on an array of technical documentation. Information about the dynamics of technological processes should be accumulated centrally by monitoring active technological lines. The accumulated measurement infor mation should be periodically used for additional training of the integrated technological model. Thus, the language model of the integrated technological complex contains complete, reliable and accessible for automated processing information about the state and technological capabilities of the state economy. The use of an integrated technological model is a prerequisite for prompt decision-making on the transformation of the production sector of the economy in order to increase the efficiency and pace of economic development.
