Endemic and threatened birds as surrogates for identifying conservation priority areas and ecological corridors in the America’s most endangered habitat
Authors: da Costa Dias Thiago , Silveira Luís Fábio , Francisco Mercival Roberto
Published: September 2024

Investigating multi-taxa macroecological patterns can provide critical insights for spatial conservation planning and landscape management across biodiversity hotspots. The Pernambuco Endemism Center (PEC) is a biogeographic region of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest known to harbor the most threatened habitats in the Americas and a considerable number of recent bird extinctions. Here, we modeled the distribution of 30 threatened forest-dependent birds, 29 of which endemic to the PEC, to reveal key habitats/resources for their survival, identify conservation priority areas, and design ecological corridors. We found variations in the responses of the taxa to landscape characteristics when we addressed these organisms separately and when we grouped them by conservation status. Overall, the environmental variables related to forest quality (e.g., distance to large fragments, distance to the forest edge, percentage of tree cover, percentage of older forests) were important predictors of habitat suitability for the regional threatened avifauna. Additionally, we revealed forest fragments of high ecological importance for the PEC’s threatened birds, and we propose the creation of the Pernambuco Endemism Center Restoration Arc (PEC-ARC) that may maximize the investments in conservation and guarantee the connectivity of crucial areas for long-term species survival.

Published: September 2024

Brain and central nervous system (CNS) cancers constitute a heterogeneous group of cancers with poor 5-year survival rates. We aimed to report the epidemiology of brain and CNS cancers in Asia in 2020 and their projections up to 2040 by age, sex, and country, as well as their correlation with socioeconomic status. We extracted data from the 2020 Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN). Numbers, age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) and mortality rates (ASMRs), 5-year prevalent cases and rates, mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIRs), and crude rates were calculated. The human development index (HDI) and current healthcare expenditure (CHE)-to-gross domestic product (GDP) ratio were included as indicators of socioeconomic status. Additionally, the numbers of new cases and deaths were predicted from 2025 to 2040 by multiplying the anticipated population during this period by age-standardized rates. In 2020, there were 166,925 new cases of brain and CNS cancers in Asia, indicating a 5-year prevalence rate of 9.40 per 100,000. We also estimated the total ASIR, ASMR, and MIR as 3.20, 2.60, and 0.83, respectively. There were significant negative correlations between HDI and MIR (correlation coefficient: − 0.538, p value < 0.001) and significant positive correlations between CHE/GDP% and ASIR (correlation coefficient: 0.388, p value: 0.010) and ASMR (correlation coefficient: 0.373, p value: 0.014). In 2040, there will be 232,000 new cases of brain and CNS cancers and 200,000 subsequent deaths in Asia. Our study revealed higher brain and CNS cancer rates in Western Asia among males and elderly individuals. These findings can aid policymakers in enhancing cancer care and suggest the consideration of risk factors in future research.

Efficacy of Complexity-Based Target Selection for Treating Morphosyntactic Deficits in Children With Developmental Language Disorder and Children With Down Syndrome: A Single-Case Experimental Design
Authors: Hannig Russell Kirsten M. , Wambaugh Julie L. , Davis John L. , Redmond Sean M.
Published: September 2024

Purpose:

Selecting targets for morphosyntactic intervention is a critical component of treatment planning. The complexity approach suggests that, by treating a complex morphosyntactic target, improvements will occur for the treated structure and for related, simpler structures. This study evaluated the efficacy of the complexity approach for treating morphosyntactic deficits by targeting a complex BE verb question structure for children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and children with Down syndrome (DS) and observing its impact on treated and untreated BE verb structures. We also explored whether etiology impacted our participants' treatment responses.

Method:

Three participants with DLD and three with DS received treatment for the BE verb question structure in the context of a single-case multiple-baseline design across participants. Accuracy of production for the treated structure and untreated BE verb structures was measured across baseline, treatment, and posttreatment phases.

Results:

Treatment of the complex BE verb question structure resulted in change on the treated structure for three participants (i.e., two with DLD and one with DS). Generalization of treatment to untreated, related BE verb structures occurred for all six participants. Outcomes indicated participants from both etiologies benefited from treatment.

Conclusions:

This study provides evidence supporting the use of a complexity-based approach for selecting morphosyntactic treatment targets for children with DLD and children with DS. Additional research is needed to identify specific characteristics that may influence individual treatment responses.

Authors: Fakhrudin Arif , Nuryakin Nuryakin , Fatmawati Indah
Published: September 2024

Based on the results of studies and searches of previous research, both domestically and abroad. Research on student loyalty models varies from one researcher to another. Although research on student loyalty varies from one to another, there is a fundamental similarity, namely that the antecedent factors used only involve internal and external marketing factors. Almost all research shows the same thing that universities independently need to carry out marketing strategies to be able to retain old students and get new students at low costs. The formation of a student loyalty model will be able to help universities get students more cheaply through good stories to friends, relatives and people they know, willing to build good relationships with the alma mater and even become donors to the alma mater. This research was conducted to analyze what methods are used to analyze the role of student loyalty on higher education performance and what variables influence student loyalty towards higher education performance. Based on 115 articles reviewed, through a systematic literature review process, with an article publication period between 2001 and 2023. The research results showed that only 67 articles met the criteria and were used as references in this research. Based on the findings obtained, research methods that are widely used to analyze student loyalty variable data on higher education performance are Structural Equation Model and Partial Least Square. The results of this research also show that most of the independent variables such as satisfaction, service quality, and image influence student loyalty on higher education performance.

Indonesian investors are aware of the significance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) concept in influencing the enduring success of organizations. This leads to the importance of studying investment decisions that consider ESG factors in investment decisions. This study investigates the dynamic relationship between demographic parameters, considered as control variables, and their potential contribution to the influence of the perception of sustainable investment and risk tolerance on ESG-considered investment decisions. This study employs a quantitative method by conducting a survey to retail investors in Indonesia. The findings indicate that these control variables do not have any influence. Significantly, perceptions of sustainable investment have been proven to influence ESG-considered investment decisions. Conversely, risk tolerance does not affect investment decisions considering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. This study highlights the significance of customized investment strategies to cater to the varying preference of investors while also underlining the necessity of conducting more research on including ESG disclosures. Overall, it provides valuable insights into the intricate correlation between demographic characteristics and ESG investments in the IDX, emphasizing the pivotal influence of investors' perspectives on creating sustainable practices.

Analyse probabiliste, inférence bayésienne et méthode observationnelle : application au tassement dû au passage d’un tunnelier
Authors: Zhang Yi , Commend Stéphane , Jacot-Descombes Gil
Published: September 2024

La variabilité des sols, les incertitudes du modèle et des paramètres géotechniques, et les variations de réponse du modèle associées, etc. sont des sujets géotechniques à traiter difficilement par des méthodes déterministes ou semi-probabilistes. De ce point de vue, la méthode probabiliste peut être une approche plus adaptée pour prendre en compte ces incertitudes. Dans cet article, un cadre d’approche probabiliste basé sur les modèles aux éléments finis et couplé à la méthode observationnelle est d’abord présenté. Il se compose de quatre parties fondamentales, à savoir : une analyse de sensibilité à l’aide des indices de Sobol (ou Kucherenko) pour identifier les paramètres géotechniques les plus influents sur les résultats, une analyse de fiabilité pour calculer les probabilités de défaillance de la structure a priori, une analyse des mesures observées issues de l’auscultation et une rétro analyse bayésienne utilisant ces mesures pour calculer les probabilités de défaillance de la structure a posteriori afin d’améliorer les performances de prédiction. Ensuite, cette approche probabiliste est appliquée à un cas concret, qui est la prévision des déplacements induits par le creusement pressurisé des tunnels au droit de pieux de fondation. C’est un sujet technique complexe, dépendant de nombreux facteurs comme l’effet 3D de l’interaction tunnel/terrain/pieux, les caractéristiques géotechniques du terrain, les multiples sources de déplacement autour des tunneliers, etc. Dans ce cas d’étude, un modèle aux éléments finis 3D est réalisé pour simuler l’interaction tunnel/terrain/pieux, puis une analyse de sensibilité est menée pour déterminer les variables probabilistes d’entrée les plus influentes sur les résultats. L’inférence bayésienne est utilisée pour mettre à jour les hypothèses de calcul à l’aide des mesures de l’auscultation/expérimentation (cuvette de tassement) afin d’affiner les prédictions des déformations (de l’a priori vers l’a posteriori).

Published: September 2024

En cas d’urgence radiologique ou nucléaire résultant d’un accident ou d’un acte de malveillance, la prise en charge médicale requiert l’identification et le diagnostic des individus exposés à de fortes doses de rayonnements ionisants le plus rapidement possible. Bien qu’un triage préliminaire puisse être effectué directement sur le terrain, une analyse complémentaire en laboratoire est nécessaire pour affiner le diagnostic. Les techniques actuellement utilisées limitent la prise en charge rapide et simultanée de nombreux patients. Afin de pallier ces contraintes, l’utilisation de nouveaux biomarqueurs pour prédire le risque et la gravité des lésions radio-induites est à l’étude. Dans cette revue, nous abordons le potentiel des micro-ARN comme biomarqueurs pour le pronostic des lésions radio-induites et leur pertinence pour une utilisation en radioprotection chez l’homme.
Le microbiome humain : 340 ans d’histoire, 140 ans d’interrogations, d’innovations technologiques et émergence de la « médecine microbienne »
Authors: Doré Joël , Sansonetti Philipppe J.
Published: September 2024

On sait depuis 340ans que le corps humain héberge des microbes, alors appelés « animalcules ». Depuis plus d’un siècle, après la démonstration de la responsabilité de certains de ces microbes dans les maladies, on s’interroge sur le rôle de ceux – largement majoritaires – qui colonisent les surfaces cutanées et muqueuses humaines, particulièrement le riche écosystème microbien de l’intestin, le microbiote intestinal. De l’invention de la vie sans germe (axénie), qui a permis de valider expérimentalement la symbiose entre êtres humains et microbes, fruit d’une longue coévolution, à la mise au point des méthodes de culture anaérobies, puis à l’invention du diagnostic moléculaire, du séquençage profond ouvrant les approches métagénomiques et omiques en général, une formidable course s’est déroulée entre innovations technologiques et avancées conceptuelles. Cette course, au-delà de la description exhaustive du microbiote dans sa diversité intraet interhumaine, des fonctions symbiotiques essentielles du microbiome, a ouvert la voie d’un nouveau domaine de la médecine : la médecine microbienne.

Association of the 11-year solar cycle with correlation and teleconnection structures in tropospheric circulation
Authors: Huth Radan , Stryhal Jan
Published: September 2024

Analyzing spatial correlation structures and teleconnections in the 500 hPa heights of the Northern Hemisphere Extratropics in winter shows substantial differences between months with high and low solar activity. Patterns of spatial correlations of mid-tropospheric circulation differ between solar minima and maxima; the differences are geographically variable, particularly large and statistically significant in parts of the North Atlantic and North Pacific. Correlation structures of tropospheric circulation are significantly larger in solar maxima over parts of the North Atlantic. The geographical orientation of teleconnections is also associated with solar activity, the differences being most notable over the North Atlantic, North America, and the Arctic. The differences in teleconnections form a background for a response of modes of circulation variability and blocking anticyclones to solar activity, detected in previous studies. We detected no evidence of potential interference of responses to solar activity with quasi-biennial oscillation and volcanic eruptions; the interference with El Niño-Southern Oscillation is unlikely. The response to solar activity may be partly confused with the response to major sudden stratospheric warmings; however, sudden stratospheric warmings themselves may respond to the solar cycle.

Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuß (GBA) der Auftrag gegeben ein
Disease-Management-Programm (DMP) Osteoporose zu erarbeiten und zu etablieren.
Dies, um die aktuelle diagnostische und therapeutische Unterversorgung durch
eine strukturierte evidenzbasierte Versorgung der betroffenen Patienten zu
gewährleisten. Die bessere Kooperation der verschiedenen medizinischen Ebenen
sowie eine engere Arzt- Patienten-Bindung soll dazu beitragen, die gravierenden
Versorgungslücken zu schließen. Die strukturierte Behandlung basiert auf klaren
Abläufen und Empfehlungen zur Schulung und Therapie der Osteoporose. Die
festgeschriebenen Ziele der Behandlung im DMP Osteoporose liegen in der
Vermeidung von Frakturen, der Schmerzreduktion, der Sturzprophylaxe und einer
Verbesserung der Lebensqualität und Lebenserwartung der betroffenen Patienten.
In dem vorliegenden Artikel wird das DMP Osteoporose mit den therapeutischen
Empfehlungen, den Zielen, der Schulung der Leistungserbringer und Patienten
sowie die gegenwärtige Umsetzung in der Versorgungsrealität dargestellt.
DMP und die Frakturversorgung – Proximale
Humerusfrakturen
Authors: Gleich Johannes , Helfen Tobias , Böcker Wolfgang
Published: September 2024

Proximale Humerusfrakturen zählen zu den häufigsten Indikatorfrakturen einer
Osteoporose und treten beim älteren Patienten vor allem nach einem
niedrigenergetischen Trauma auf. Neben einer sorgfältigen klinischen
Untersuchung ist die Bildgebung (Röntgen/Computertomographie) unerlässlich für
die weitere Therapieplanung. Diese kann bei einem älteren Patienten jedoch nicht
ausschließlich anhand der klinischen und bildgebenden Befunde erfolgen, es
müssen zahlreiche Kontextfaktoren (funktioneller Anspruch, Begleiterkrankungen)
beachtet werden. Der Großteil der proximalen Humerusfrakturen, gerade im
geriatrischen Patientenkollektiv, wird konservativ behandelt. Bei operativer
Versorgung ist im Rahmen der Etablierung alterstraumatologischer
Versorgungskonzepte ein Trend zum vermehrten Gelenksersatz zu beobachten.
Oberstes Ziel hat die schnellstmögliche Wiederherstellung der Selbstständigkeit
und Alltagsfähigkeit des Patienten. Eine operative Versorgung wird daher auch
bei bestehenden Komorbiditäten häufiger erwogen und erfolgt bei zunehmender
Evidenz mittels inverser Schultergelenksendoprothese. Unabhängig vom gewählten
Versorgungspfad ist die sekundäre Frakturprophylaxe im Sinne einer
osteologischen Diagnostik und spezifischen Therapie essenziell.
Modeling of axion and electromagnetic fields interaction in particle-in-cell simulations

Published: September 2024

The axion, a theoretically well-motivated particle, has been searched for extensively via its hypothetical interactions with ordinary matter and fields. Recently, a new axion detection approach has been considered utilizing the ultra-intense electromagnetic fields produced by laser–plasma interactions. However, a detailed simulation tool has not hitherto been available to help understand the axion-coupled laser–plasma interactions in such a complex environment. In this paper, we report a custom-developed particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation method that incorporates the axion field, the electromagnetic fields, and their interactions. The axion field equation and modified Maxwell’s equations are numerically solved, with the axion-induced modulation of the electromagnetic field being treated as a first-order perturbation to handle the huge orders of magnitude difference between the two types of field. The simulation is benchmarked with well-studied effects such as axion–photon conversion and the propagation of an extremely weak laser pulse in a magnetized plasma. Such an extended PIC simulation provides a powerful tool to study axions under ultra-intense electromagnetic fields in the laboratory or in astrophysical processes.
3D simulation of the interaction between double copper cathode spot jets in vacuum arc

Published: September 2024

The mixing process of the cathodic jets is an important connection between the metal surface and the plasma arc column, which helps to understand the diffusion mechanism of the vacuum arc and guides the vacuum switch design. The interaction process of double cathode jets is simulated using a 3D magnetohydrodynamic method. This study analyzes the evolution of plasma parameters as the double cathode jets transition from a separated state to a mixed state. The results indicate that a mixed single-peaked jet ultimately forms at the exit when the double cathode jets are present at the inlet of the cathode surface. The transition from the separated state to the mixed state occurs further away from the cathode surface as the inlet current density of the jets increases from 3 to 5 × 109 A/m2. Additionally, the asymmetry in the current density of the double cathode jets causes the peaks of the mixed single-peak current density and ion temperature to be skewed toward the direction of the lower inlet current density. In cases where the inlet current direction is asymmetric, the peaks shift toward the direction where the inlet current is perpendicular to the cathode surface. Furthermore, the outward expansion acceleration trend of the plasma aligns well with the results from single-jet numerical simulations.
Impact of COVID-19 on labour usage and the production of oil palm yield
Authors: Hamzah N H , Hashim M S
Published: September 2024

The labour shortage induced by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 significantly impacted oil palm cultivation, particularly in operations dependent on foreign workers for tasks like harvesting fresh fruit bunches (FFB). This resulted in disruptions, especially in plantations near the closed national border gates, leading to unharvested fruits left on trees and a subsequent decline in oil palm production. A study aimed at understanding the relationship between labour usage and the production of oil palm yield was conducted to assess these trends. Data from nine (9) oil palm fields in FELCRA Berhad Kawasan Panchor Merah, Terengganu, spanning from 2019 to 2023, were analysed to perform the descriptive statistics. Statistical Package for Social Science version 29 was employed to establish the relationship of the variables. The findings revealed dynamic fluctuations in labour usage, particularly in foreign labour, due to the pandemic that induced migrations to hometowns and created vacancies for local labour. However, despite an increase in local labourers in 2021, many lacked efficiencies in tasks like harvesting due to limited experience. Although a strong positive correlation between labour usage and oil palm production was observed (r (5) = .865, p = .0059), it was not statistically significant at the 0.05 level, supporting the null hypothesis. Therefore, the study recommends that FELCRA Berhad enhance industry automation and offer competitive wages to bolster local employment, thus ensuring the sustainable development of the oil palm industry.

This study was conducted at greenhouse of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Jasin to study the effect of composted cow manure and NPK 15:15:15 fertilizer application on the growth and yield of okra. This experiment was conducted in RCBD with 4 replications consisting of 6 treatments; T0 (20 g NPK 15:15:15), T1 (20 g NPK 15:15:15 + 300 g composted cow manure), T2 (15 g NPK 15:15:15 + 400 g composted cow manure), T3 (10 g NPK 15:15:15 + 500 g composted cow manure), T4 (5 g NPK 15:15:15 + 600 g composted cow manure) and T5 (700 g composted cow manure). Parameters assessed were plant height (cm), number of leaves, number of fruits and fruit fresh weight and soil pH. Results revealed that T3 significantly produced the highest number of fruits (19) as well as fresh weight (28.47 g) while for number of leaves, T2 excelled in this parameter by significantly achieving highest number of leaves (17.7) and T5 showed the highest result for plant height (74.15 cm) and soil pH (pH 6.9). It could be deduced that incorporating both NPK 15:15:15 and composted cow manure resulted in greater effect on growth and yield of okra and that T3 would be the most suitable rate to be added to achieve the highest fruit yield and weight.

Gold mining has caused negative impacts on the environment, especially Hg contamination and pollution in the soil system. This study aims to assess the effect of Hg pollution on ex-gold mining soil in Dharmasraya West Sumatra ameliorated with bamboo biochar (B-B) on corn (Zea mays L.) plants in polybags (15 kg soil polybags−1). The research was conducted at the Wire House, Agriculture Faculty Andalas University in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications of five doses of bamboo biochar application namely 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 t ha−1. The application of 40 t ha−1 bamboo biochar (300 g B-B 15kg soil−1) can improve the chemical properties of ex-gold mining soil contaminated with Hg which can increase soil pH by 3.10, organic matter by 0.46% C, CEC by 3.34 cmol(+) kg−1, total N by 0.031% N, available P by 3.06 ppm, K-exch by 0.21 cmol(+) kg−1; Ca-exch by 0.0016 cmol(+) kg−1, and Mg-exch by 0.328 cmol(+) kg−1 and can inactivate Hg pollution with a decrease in total Hg of 1.52 mg kg−1, compared to the control. The application of 40 t ha−1 (300 g B-B 15 kg soil−1) on ex-gold mining soil contaminated with Hg can also increase plant height to 81.66 cm, plant dry weight of 68.65 g, an increase in nutrient levels of 0.033% N, 0.001% P, and 0.134% K, and a decrease in plant Hg up to 1.12 mg kg−1, compared to the control.
