Natural enemies such as predators play an important role in checking the proferation of vectors in  Natural habitat in breeding grounds. Gambusia affinis popularly known  as  Doctor fish  is  well known  predatory  fish  can be cultured and used in vector control programme. In the present study, use  of  3  indigenous  fishes  in  vector control have been reported. The fishes were recovered from Machna river and used in the laboratory to control Anophelese stephensi and Aedes aegypti larvae. Laboratory testing in glass aquarium contaning 5 fishes of each Ajystus cavasius, Danio devario, Rasbora daniconius alongwith Gambusia  affinis,  revealed  that  as  far  as predatory efficacy is concerned Mystus cavasius stands 1st and consumed  130  larvae/day/fish.  It  was  noticed during the course of experiment that fishes prefer I/II instar larvae than III/ IVth  instar  larvae  of both  the species. The study was also conducted with and without fish food. To observe larvivorous  potential. It  was noticed that fish food has some effect on the predatory habit of these fishes. In the presence of fish food, the predatory period was found to be increased by 5 minutes to 20 minutes more. Gut content analysis of the fishes showed not only  the  mosquito larvae  but some  nematodes,  annelids.  beetles,  algae  and unidentified  material. The result of the present study thus suggest that indigenous fishes edible value can be cultured in small ponds and other water bodies to reduce the vector bone diseases. Without disturbing the ecosystem and causing no ill effect to the human health.

Brown sugar is crystallized palm sugar. Some of the reasons why palm sugar is healthier than granulated sugar is that the calories contained in palm sugar are smaller than white sugar so palm sugar is often referred to as low-calorie sugar, and palm sugar also has a lower glycemic index, namely of 35 while in granulated sugar the glycemic index is 58. The optimal way to improve the structure of melted sugar is by processing it into granular sugar, namely through re-melting of molded sugar with the addition of water into a sugar solution. The addition of granulated sugar and seed was found to have an effect on the yield, total sugar, sucrose, and the level of preference for color, taste and aroma, but decreased water content, reducing sugar, browning index and aroma level.The best treatment is the addition of 30% granulated sugar with a seeding temperature of 120 0C, in general it meets the requirements of SII where the water content, 2.75%, reducing sugar 4.35%, sucrose 81.14, total sugar 89.86, ash content, 1 .91%, browning index 0.20 abs/g and 81.36 yield. While the most preferred organoleptic test is the addition of 30% granulated sugar with a seeding temperature of 120 0C with a color value of 6.95, aroma 5.70 and taste 5.70. Economic analysis of melted molded sugar gives a profit of IDR 778,800/month, while improving the quality by processing ant sugar gives a profit of Rp. 1,606,000/month (all inputs are calculated at cost), If the allocation of family labor is categorized as family income plus the use of other materials that are not paid, then the income is Rp. 4,278,000/month for sugar. printing and Rp. 5,456,000/month for ant sugar.

Published: February 2023

Nagori Negeri Bosar is an agricultural village located around the oil palm plantation of Marjandi plantation. In general, farmers in this village manage dry land with various types of crops, such as corn, peanuts, cassava, and cocoa. In addition, they also raise livestock, pigs in cages or cattle grazing in plantation areas. The management of farming branches is separate from each other, therefore they are not complementary. This is a problem that is trying to be solved through this community service activity. The purpose of this activity is to integrate farming branches managed by farming families so that efficiency occurs through reducing production costs and will further increase family income as well as the welfare of farmer families. This community service activity is intended to empower farmers, especially through a group approach. Various extension methods were applied, such as lectures, field meetings and the practice of processing farm waste into the next production material/input. The results obtained were fodder silage made from corn straw, peanuts and lamtoro leaves and cow dung compost enriched with cocoa husk and oil palm flower buds. The practice of making silage and compost has worked quite well, but the enthusiasm of farmers is still not good, therefore farmer empowerment programs need to be continued by prioritizing changes in mindset or principles of environmentally friendly and efficient farming management.

Katolícke noviny – najstaršie slovenské katolícke periodikum
Authors: Dobrotková Marta
Published: February 2023

The article deals with the history of the Katolícke noviny, which can be divided into several stages. The first stage is connected with Pest-Buda, where a strong Slovak community lived. The Katolícke noviny was edited by the priests Šimon Klempa, Ján Palárik and Andrej Radlinský. At Radlinský’s instigation, the periodical merged with the magazine Cyrill a Method. The second stage is closely related to the Society of St Adalbert. The Katolícke noviny became the official newspaper of the Society in 1870. The editorial staff was led by Pavol Blaho, Juraj Slotta, Andrej Pullman and František Richard Osvald. In the third stage, from 1880 until 1904, the paper was published by Martin Kollár. Subsequently, František Jedlička took over the management of the newspaper, which then became a political weekly. As a result, Hungarian episcopal representatives banned the use of the name ‘Catholic News’. The newspaper was published until 1910. An attempt at a short-term resumption of publishing the paper was made in Nitra in 1919–1920. Nevertheless, it was not until 1940 that the Katolícke noviny began to be published again, and it has been published continuously ever since. The Communist regime retained the Katolícke noviny to demonstrate re­ligious freedom, but it was only the regime’s propaganda. The year 1968 brought some hope of freedom, but it did not last long – soon afterwards, normalisation and strict censorship were introduced. Real freedom did not come until November 1989.
Measuring children’s sustained selective attention and working memory: validity of new minimally linguistic tasks
Authors: Ebert Kerry Danahy , Pham Giang T. , Levi Sophie , Eisenreich Benjamin
Published: February 2023

This study introduces visual tasks using nonlinguistic stimuli that measure sustained selective attention (SSA) and working memory (WM), two constructs foundational to learning and associated with developmental disorders in children. Using an argument-based approach to validation, we examine whether each task (a) measures distinct constructs, (b) shows internal consistency, (c) captures a range of performance, and (d) relates to development as indexed by age. Participants included 71 children, ages 4–10, of whom 12 had parental concern for language/learning. The SSA task presented spatial locations within a long and uninteresting task, following the continuous performance task paradigm. The WM task presented paired location sequences of increasing length, incorporating key elements of the n-back and complex span paradigms. Controlling for age, tasks were found to be minimally associated with each other (r = .26), suggesting related but distinct constructs. Internal consistency was high, with split-half reliability of .94 (SSA) and .92 (WM); the stability of these estimates was supported by bootstrapping simulations. Task performance was evenly distributed, with minimal floor or ceiling effects within this age range. Performance was positively related to age (SSA r = .49; WM r = .53). Exploratory correlations with a measure of parental concern were significant for SSA but not WM. The results show that these new tasks can be used to measure children’s SSA and WM in a visual domain with minimal linguistic influence. These tasks capture developmental changes in the early school years. Further investigation can examine their utility for classifying children with developmental disorders.
RIGHT BRAINER, LEFT BRAINER OR WHOLE BRAINER? UNDERSTANDING THE BRAIN HEMISPHERIC DOMINANCE THEORY AND ITS IMPLICATIONS IN EDUCATION
Authors: Rai Kathryn , Singh Rajinder
Published: February 2023

This paper provides an insight into the neurologic phenomenon of Brain hemispheric dominance in which one hemisphere tends to be dominant over the other, leading to a greater consistency in utilising certain functions. The right and left hemispheres of the brain are structurally similar but significantly unlike in their functions. Based on the dominant hemisphere, a person can be right brained or left brained; and whole brained if both the hemispheres work about equally. This paper delineates the functional differences between the two brain hemispheres based on evidences from brain research. It also provides an understanding of the emergence of the Nobel Prize winning Brain dominance theory, the various models that bring about further distinctions between the brain hemispheres and the implications of the theory in Education.

Published: February 2023

Objetivo: Este trabalho de revisão tem como objetivo descrever brevemente a evolução da Biologia Sintética em bactérias e a criação de circuitos genéticos induzidos pela luz, conhecida como optogenética. Método: Foram utilizados bases de dados online como PubMed-NCBI e OptoBase, para realizar a busca e análise dos artigos científicos escolhidos usando como palavras-chave: “optogenetics”, “optogenetics and applications”, e “optogenetics and synthetic biology”. Resultados: Um dos marcos da história da biologia sintética é o uso da luz visível para o controle da regulação genética em bactérias, principalmente no modelo Escherichia coli. Proteínas fotorreceptoras ocorrem naturalmente em microrganismos e eucariotos (como fitocromos e opsinas), mas também podem ser construídas através da fusão de diferentes domínios sensíveis à luz combinados a diversos outros domínios efetores. Estes novos sistemas responsivos, representados geralmente pelo complexo Cph1–Rcp1, CcaS/R e YF1–FixJ, são induzidos por comprimentos de onda de luz entre 650-705 nm (luz vermelha/vermelho longo), 563 nm (luz verde) e 470 nm (luz azul), respectivamente. Além da descrição do funcionamento desses receptores de luz, alguns exemplos de suas aplicações são citados. Conclusão: O uso de sistemas optogenéticos permitiu obter um maior controle espacial e temporal da expressão gênica em bactérias, abrindo novas perspectivas para a automatização de processos biológicos e diminuição dos custos de bioprodução no setor da biotecnologia industrial.

ON THE NEED FOR EVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TOWARDS CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO DEVELOP AND USE THE NATURAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF RUSSIA
Authors:   Institute of Economics and Industrial Engineering of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kryukov V.A.
Published: February 2023

The author presents a vision of the principal challenges of development and use of the enormous natural resource potential that Russia has at its disposal. The analysis, assessment, selection and realization of our country’s natural resource potential cannot but be considered in the context of realization of the “social value” it a priori possesses. This implies not only the orientation in the justification and implementation of decisions on a certain level of recovery, mining, production, as well as obtaining taxes and creating jobs, but also, above all, on achieving a certain level of development of science, education, addressing a wide range of environmental and social issues. An important role in the development and implementation of such an approach is played by understanding and putting into practice the evolutionary nature of involvement in the socio-economic turnover of natural resources. Its most important features include: changes in the composition and sources of natural resources, scientific and practical knowledge, scientific and technological approaches, organizational, economic and, in general, institutional conditions.

Stars collect most of their mass during the protostellar stage, yet the accretion luminosity and stellar parameters, which are needed to compute the mass accretion rate, are poorly constrained for the youngest sources. The aim of this work is to fill this gap, computing the stellar properties and the accretion rates for a large sample of Class I protostars located in nearby (<500 pc) star-forming regions and analyzing their interplay. We used a self-consistent method to provide accretion and stellar parameters by modeling the spectral energy distribution and using veiling information from near-IR observations when possible. We calculated accretion and stellar properties for the first time for 50 young stars. We focused our analysis on the 39 confirmed protostars, finding that their mass accretion rate varies between ∼10−8 and ∼10−4
M
⊙ yr−1 in a stellar mass range between ∼0.1 and 3 M
⊙. We find systematically larger mass accretion rates for our Class I sample than for Class II objects. Although the mass accretion rate we found is high, it still suggests that either stars collect most of their mass before the Class I stage, or eruptive accretion is needed during the overall protostellar phase. Indeed, our results suggest that for a large number of protostars the disk can be unstable, which can result in accretion bursts and disk fragmentation in the past or in the future.
Numerical Simulations and Observations of Mg ii in the Solar Chromosphere

Published: February 2023

The Mg ii
h and k lines are among the best diagnostic tools of the upper solar chromosphere. This region of the atmosphere is of particular interest, as it is the lowest region of the Sun’s atmosphere where the magnetic field is dominant in the energetics and dynamics, defining its structure. While highly successful in the photosphere and lower to mid-chromosphere, numerical models have produced synthetic Mg ii lines that do not match the observations well. We present a number of large-scale models with magnetic field topologies representative of the quiet Sun, ephemeral flux regions and plage, and also models where the numerical resolution is high and where we go beyond the MHD paradigm. The results of this study show models with a much improved correspondence with IRIS observations in terms of both intensities and widths, especially underscoring the importance of chromospheric mass loading and of capturing the magnetic field topology and evolution in simulations. This comes in addition to the importance of capturing the generation of small-scale velocity fields and including nonequilibrium ionization and ion−neutral interaction effects. However, it should be noted that difficulties in achieving a good correspondence remain, especially when considering the width of Mg ii
h and k lines in plage. Understanding and modeling all these effects and their relative importance is necessary in order to reproduce observed spectral features and in isolating the missing pieces necessary to fully comprehend Mg ii formation.

The generic properties of compact objects made of two different fluids of dark matter are studied in a scale-invariant approach. We investigate compact objects with a core–shell structure, where the two fluids are separated, and with mixed dark matter components, where both dark matter fluids are immersed within each other. The constellations considered are combinations of incompressible fluids, free and interacting Fermi gases, and equations of state with a vacuum term, i.e., self-bound dark matter. We find novel features in the mass–radius relations for combined dark matter compact objects, which distinguishes them from compact objects with a single dark matter fluid and compact stars made of ordinary baryonic matter, such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and quark stars. The maximum compactness of certain combined dark matter stars can reach values up to the causality limit for compact stars but not beyond that limit if causality of the dark matter fluids is ensured.
Updated High-temperature Opacities for the Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Program and Their Effect on the Jao Gap Location

The Jao Gap, a 17% decrease in stellar density at M

G
∼ 10 identified in both Gaia Data Release 2 and Early Data Release 3, presents a new method to probe the interior structure of stars near the fully convective transition mass. The Gap is believed to originate from convective-kissing instability wherein asymmetric production of 3He causes the core convective zone of a star to periodically expand and contract and consequently causes the star luminosities to vary. Modeling of the Gap has revealed a sensitivity in its magnitude to a population metallicity primarily through opacity. Thus far, models of the Jao Gap have relied on OPAL high-temperature radiative opacities. Here we present updated synthetic population models tracing the Gap location modeled with the Dartmouth stellar evolution code using the OPLIB high-temperature radiative opacities. Use of these updated opacities changes the predicted location of the Jao Gap by ∼0.05 mag as compared to models that use the OPAL opacities. This difference is likely too small to be detectable in empirical data.
Accuracy of Guided Implant Surgery in the Partially Edentulous Jaw Using Digital impression versus Desktop Scanner and CBCT cast scan: Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Ali Norhan , Tolba Emad Mohamed , Amer Maha
Published: February 2023

AIM: The aim of the study is to compare the accuracy of surgical guided implant produced by intraoral scanner, desktop scanner, and CBCT cast scan.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total of 63 dental implants were placed using 14 surgical guides. A total of 15 subjects, eight males and seven females (eight bilateral cases and seven unliteral cases), with mean age of 45 years (38–55 years) were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided into three groups (n = 21 each): Group 1: Surgical guide manufactured using intraoral digital impression. Group 2: Surgical guide manufactured using model cast scanning by CBCT while Group 3: Surgical guide manufactured using model cast scanning by desktop scanner the linear and angular deviations of inserted planned implants were measured.
RESULTS: In the intraoral scan group, the mean angular deviation, platform 3D deviation, apical 3D deviation, and vertical deviation were 2.5°, 0.7 mm, 1.1 mm, and 0.6 mm, respectively. While in desktop scanner group, the mean angular deviation, platform 3D deviation, apical 3D deviation, and vertical deviation were 2.6°, 0.1 mm, 1.1 mm, and 1.1 mm, respectively. In the CBCT scan group, the mean angular deviation, 3D platform deviation, 3D apical deviation, and vertical deviation were 3.5°, 1.3 mm, 1.6 mm, and 1.7 mm, respectively. There is no statistically significance difference between intraoral scanner, CBCT cast scan, and desktop scanning on implant deviation that was observed.
CONCLUSION: There was no statistically significance difference between intraoral scanner, CBCT cast scan, and desktop scanning on implant deviation that was observed although IOS shows better accuracy and least mean angular deviation.
The diversity of cultivable endophytic fungi of the sand coast plant Ipomoea pes-caprae in Taiwan
Authors: Yeh Yu-Hung , Kirschner Roland
Published: February 2023

Ipomoea pes-caprae is a plant of sand coasts and it can tolerate stresses, such as high salinity, strong wind and sand movements and lack of nutrients. It plays an important role in coast protection and preventing erosion. Fungal endophytes show high biodiversity and have a strong influence on the survival of plants under different stress factors. Although this plant is important for sand coast ecosystems, little is known about the associated fungi. In this study, we isolated and identified endophytic fungi of Ipomoea pes-caprae, a dominant plant along the shore of Taiwan. The dataset contains 896 records, which correspond to 177 species. The geographical scope of the dataset covers the northern subtropical area of the main island of Taiwan, with its sand coasts in New Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Taichung and two botanical gardens in Taipei and Taichung. The detailed original data of fungal diversity are rarely publicly shared under strictly formalised and, thus, reusable standards. As an example for such an approach, the complete occurrence dataset was made available in the Darwin Core Archive format via the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) under Version 1.13, Taiwan Biodiversity Information Facility (TaiBIF) https://doi.org/10.15468/9h9rcg. In this first data paper on endophytic fungi, the scientific name and associated DNA sequence in the dataset were directly linked to other free online resource (Index Fungorum, GenBank), which shows the potential of GBIF for linking together different online data repositories.

We describe a dataset, in which the diversity of endophytic fungi of the sand coast plant Ipomoea pes-caprae in Taiwan was investigated.
Trialling a convolution neural network for the identification of Braconidae in New Zealand
Authors: Ward Darren , Martin Brent
Published: February 2023

Computer vision approaches, such as deep learning, potentially offer a range of benefits to entomology, particularly for the image-based identification of taxa. An experiment was conducted to gauge the ability of a convolution neural network (CNN) to identify genera of Braconidae from images of forewings. A deep learning CNN was trained via transfer learning from a small set of 488 images for 57 genera. Three-fold cross-validation achieved an accuracy of 96.7%, thus demonstrating that identification to genus using forewings is highly predictive. Further work is needed to increase both the coverage to species level and the number of images available.
Morphological specialisation for primary nectar robbing in a pollen specialist mining bee (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae)
Authors: Müller Andreas , Westrich Paul
Published: February 2023

The European mining bee species Andrena lathyri (Andrenidae) is a narrow specialist of flowers of Lathyrus and Vicia (Fabaceae), from which both females and males gain nectar by primary nectar robbing. Both sexes are equipped with a unique proboscis, which is much longer and more strongly angled than in most other Andrena bees including the most closely related species. The comparison between the shape of the proboscis and the interior of the host flowers combined with field observations revealed that the specialised mouthparts of A. lathyri precisely correspond to the dimensions of the flower interior and the position of the nectary, representing one of the few known examples of a morphological adaptation to primary nectar robbing in bees. For nectar uptake, the bee’s head is inserted laterally under the standard petal before it is moved towards the flower base, thereby slitting the calyx longitudinally to a depth necessary to reach the nectary from inside the flower with the specialised proboscis. Nectar-robbing individuals of A. lathyri are able to adapt their behaviour to the different calyx lengths of their host flower species by slitting the calyx over varying distances. Except for the slit in the calyx, primary nectar robbing by A. lathyri does not damage any flower parts allowing for normal fruit development.
Invisibiliser la torture par le droit. Une comparaison Espagne / États-Unis
Authors: Guibet Lafaye Caroline , Delori Mathias
Published: February 2023

Comment les démocraties libérales peuvent-elles mettre en œuvre des politiques de torture, sachant que ces pratiques sont à la fois interdites par leur droit domestique et le droit international ? Nous répondons à cette question à partir d’une enquête sur deux cas : l’Espagne depuis la transition démocratique et les États-Unis au début des années 2000. La littérature sur le sujet souligne que les démocraties libérales qui ont recours à la torture développent un stratagème : elles la rendent invisible. Notre étude va dans le sens de cette thèse tout en soulignant un autre aspect. En Espagne comme aux États-Unis, les partisans de la torture se sont appuyés sur le droit pour créer des zones de non-droit.
Global bifurcation and structure of stationary patterns of a diffusive system of plant-herbivore interactions with toxin-determined functional responses
Authors: An Cunbin
Published: February 2023

In this paper, a homogeneous diffusive system of plant-herbivore interactions with toxin-determined functional responses is considered. We are mainly interested in studying the existence of global steady state bifurcations of the diffusive system. In particular, we also consider the case when the bifurcation parameter, one of the diffusion rates, tends to infinity. The corresponding system is called shadow system. By using time-mapping methods, we can show the existence of the positive non-constant steady state solutions. The results tend to describe the mechanism of the spatial pattern formations for this particular system of plant-herbivore interactions.

Still Forgetting
Authors: Llop Mireia Ludevid
Published: February 2023

In this chapter, the author explores how artistic practice can contribute to understanding the local concept of desmemòria. The forgetting that was demanded of the population of Spain during the Transition has become naturalised. The resistance to communicating and repairing the damage done to the population between 1936 and 1975 has made it difficult to revert the effects of the Pact of Forgetting, creating a compressed space for memory in the public sphere, pushing it further into the private, where it risks disappearing permanently. Through a photographic practice, the author responds to the history of the flooded village of Faió and map the territory of desmemòria and the voices found at the edge. This chapter deploys Deleuze and Guattari's minority to explore strategies of resistance and creation in the face of unmemory. Working on a family archive, the author maps the gaps that have resulted from a history of protracted silence and imagine new relationships between minority, photography, and memory.
