The magnetic moment for pedestrians
Authors: Pardy Miroslav ,   Department of Physical Electronics, and The Laboratory of the Plasma Physics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic
Published: July 2024

The causal arrangement of the two extended emission and detection sources and the photon source is considered. The emission source emits the charged particle and photon. The photon source which is located between emission and detection sources is capable of the transmitting of space-like momenta. The photon propagates undisturbed between emission and detection sources, while the charged particle is rejected by the extended photon source. The result of such process is the modification of the vacuum-to-vacuum amplitude in form of the additional term which can be interpreted as the additional magnetic moment of electron. The derivation is realized with the mathematical simplicity and the Schwinger pedagogical clarity.

Published: July 2024

Постановка проблеми. Забруднення довкілля важкими металами для науковців становить значну цікавість, оскільки цей процес невпинно зростає з плином часу. В Україні проводяться значні дослідження вмісту небезпечних речовин у водах річок, озер, природних водоймищ. Надзвичайно актуальними ці дослідження є під час військового стану. Аналіз досліджень показує, що поверхневі водойми – ріки, озера, заплави підпадають під антропогенний чинник. В епоху тотального використання пластику в господарюванні та усіх сферах життя в ріках виявлено також його присутність навіть на мікрорівні. Така ж ситуація і з важкими металами, які потрапляють у водойми, здебільшого із вини людини.Метою роботи є аналіз вмісту важких металів у воді та прибережних едафотопах ріки Стир в межах міста Луцьк.Методи досліджень. В роботі застосовано методи аналізу та статистичні методи досліджень за отриманими даними вмісту важких металів у воді та едафотопах. Результати досліджень. Здійснивши аналіз вмісту важких металів у воді р. Стир та едафотопах прибережної зони ми відібрали проби з восьми ділянок, 6 з яких – безпосередньо ріка Стир, 7-а ділянка – Гнідавське болото, 8-а ділянка – Теремнівські ставки. Здійснивши аналіз вмісту таких важких металів, як Cu, Cd, Zn у воді р. Стир та гідрологічно зв’язаних із нею водах Гнідавського болота та Теремнівських ставків встановлено, що перевищення ГДК наявне лише у 2-х досліджуваних ділянках. Вміст міді перевищує ГДК (0,005 мг/кг) у воді ділянок Гнідавського болота (0,012 мг/кг) та Теремнівських ставків (0,007 мг/кг). Вміст цинку перевищує ГДК (0,001 мг/кг) у воді на ділянці с. Липняни (0,015 мг/кг) та Гнідавського болота (0,019 мг/кг). Щодо едафотопів – кадмій має перевищення ГДК (1,5 мг/кг) на ділянках Гнідавського болота (3,1 мг/кг) та Теремнівських ставків (3,43 мг/кг). Вміст міді перевищує ГДК (3 мг/кг) на ділянках Гнідавського болота (4,64 мг/кг) та Теремнівських ставків (7,42 мг/кг).Висновки. Серед досліджуваних ділянок найбільш забрудненими виявилися Гнідавське болото та Теремнівські ставки. Вміст кадмію не перевищує ГДК у жодній пробі води, вміст міді перевищує ГДК у воді ділянок Гнідавського болота та Теремнівських ставків, вміст цинку перевищує ГДК для води ділянок с. Липняни та Гнідавського болота; вміст кадмію перевищує ГДК у едафотопах ділянок Гнідавського болота та Теремнівських ставків. Вміст міді перевищує ГДК також у едафотопах на ділянках Гнідавського болота та Теремнівських ставків.

Вступ. Зважаючи на умови постійних прогресивних змін проєктного середовища, враховуючи чинники воєнного стану та постійну невизначеність і нестабільність, стає очевидним збільшення ризику  yебезпеки для життєдіяльності територій та населення. В першу чергу це відображається через масовані обстріли об’єктів критичної інфраструктури підступним ворогом. Варто зазначити, що під час  російської повномасштабної агресії на сході України, за останні роки було завдано значних пошкоджень і втрат в інфраструктурі. Дані про економічні збитки підсумовуються та оновлюються і можуть  повідомлятися у вигляді офіційних звітів урядових органів, міжнародних організацій, таких як Міжнародний валютний фонд або Світовий банк. 
Мета. Метою є аналіз стану урегульованості профілактики та реагування щодо можливих основних загроз та потенційних негативних наслідків для об’єктів критичної інфраструктури (ОКІ), визначення їх  показників для запобігання таким загрозам для критичної інфраструктури.Методи дослідження. Дослідження об'єктів критичної інфраструктури України можуть проводитися за допомогою різноманітних методів і підходів залежно від конкретної потреби та мети дослідження.  Технічне обстеження, моделювання та симуляція, соціально-економічні дослідження, методи системного аналізу – все це інструменти для подальшої нашої роботи.Результати. Результати дослідження показників систем захисту в області, що стосується об'єктів критичної інфраструктури, їх технічного стану та стандартів безпеки, полягають у виявленні вразливостей та  потенційних загроз, оцінці можливих ризиків і встановленні пріоритетів для захисту, оскільки в певних аспектах наші оборонні спроможності таких об’єктів є обмеженими. Ідентифіковані та опрацьовані  dразливості і ризики дають змогу визначити та відповідно здійснити категоризацію та пріоритезацію найбільш критичних об'єктів, які потребують негайного вдосконалення відповідних заходів захисту.  Відповідно до результатів цього аналізу розробляються конкретні рекомендації із заходів захисту та планів реагування на потенційні надзвичайні ситуації. Крім того, важливо постійно відстежувати зміни у  загрозах, які в нинішніх умовах відбуваються ледь не щодня, та оновлювати заходи захисту з урахуванням змін. Ці результати дослідження є основою для розроблення стратегій захисту критичної  інфраструктури та забезпечення національних інтересів. Висновки. Сформовані дані дослідження об'єктів критичної інфраструктури, включаючи паспортизацію, а також впровадження показників систем захисту на базі системи LIDAR, показали майбутню  перспективу та великі можливості для розвитку та заохочення впровадження нових технологій. Існує висока ймовірність, що саме ці нововведення стануть дуже корисними та необхідними для забезпечення  безпеки та ефективного функціонування інфраструктури.

Authors: Лопатовська О.О. , Антонюкова Л.В.
Published: July 2024

Актуальність теми статті обумовлена тим, що сучасні обставини примушують вітчизняні банки здійснювати пошук найбільш оптимального способу забезпечити себе фінансовими ресурсами. З точки зору гарантування стабільності діяльності банку загалом та його ресурсної бази зокрема, необхідним є формування більшої частини його фінансових ресурсів за рахунок строкових вкладень. Однак, за умов складної політичної та економічної нестабільності в Україні через військові дії, більшість населення надають перевазі тримати свої заощадження «на руках» через невизначеність ситуації в країні з одного боку та через недовіру до банківських установ – з іншого. Метою статті є дослідити сучасний стан та тенденції розвитку ринку депозитних операцій в Україні. Методологічною базою дослідження виступили загальнонаукові та спеціальні прийоми і методи дослідження. У статті надано визначення депозитних операцій, яке затверджене на законодавчому рівні. Положення про порядок здійснення банками України вкладних (депозитних) операцій та операцій з ощадними сертифікатами банку розглядає депозитні операції як операції банку із залучення грошових коштів або банківських металів від вкладників на їх рахунки в банку на договірних засадах або депонування грошових коштів вкладниками з оформленням їх ощадними (депозитними) сертифікатами. Визначено місце депозитних операцій у формуванні загального обсягу банківських зобов’язань у розрізі власників заощаджень, а саме: суб’єктів господарювання, фізичних осіб та небанківських фінансових установ. Проаналізовано структуру зобов’язань банків та строкових вкладень, розміщених різними категоріями вкладників за 2021-2023 рр. У структурі банківських зобов’язань найбільшу частку забезпечують строкові вкладення фізичних осіб. Визначено десять лідерів серед діючих банків України за обсягом залучених депозитів загалом і в розрізі вкладників, таких як суб’єкти господарювання і фізичні особи. Досліджено діючі процентні ставки в п’яти банківських установах з найбільшими обсягами депозитних вкладень. Подальші дослідження будуть спрямовані на вивчення зарубіжного досвіду управління депозитним портфелем комерційного банку із визначенням можливості його імплементації у вітчизняну практику.

Authors: Flores Carlos , Mateos L. Rebeca
Published: July 2024

Un procedimiento de acumulación se caracteriza por la entrega demorada de bolitas de comida equivalente a la cantidad de respuestas emitidas antes de la demora. Un resultado consistentemente reportado ha sido observar un incremento en la cantidad de bolitas de comida acumulada en función de alargar la demora de reforzamiento. El estudio se diseñó para evaluar los efectos de la duración del intervalo entre ensayos (IEE) sobre la acumulación de comida. Para cuatro ratas el IEE fue de 40 s, mientras que para otras cuatro fue de 120 s, para todos los sujetos se incrementó en fases sucesivas la demora de reforzamiento (0, 2 y 8 s). Para todas las ratas el número de respuestas incrementó conforme se alargó la demora de reforzamiento. El número de respuestas fue más alto en los sujetos con el IEE de menor duración (40 s) comparado con los sujetos con el IEE de 120 s. Los hallazgos se discuten como efecto de tiempo relativo en el que el incremento en el responder, como resultado de alargar la demora de reforzamiento, fue menor para los sujetos con el IEE de mayor duración.
APLIKASI CHATGPT DALAM BAHASA MELAYU: ISU DAN CADANGAN PENYELESAIAN
Authors: Nomoto Hiroki , Moeljadi David , Abdul Razak Farhan Athirah
Published: July 2024

Kajian ini menganalisis masalah yang dihadapi oleh ChatGPT apabila seseorang menggunakannya dalam bahasa yang serupa, dengan menjadikan bahasa Melayu dan bahasa Indonesia sebagai contoh, yakni: ChatGPT sering menjana respons kepada prom bahasa Melayu (bahasa yang memiliki bilangan penutur yang sedikit) dalam bahasa Indonesia (bahasa yang mempunyai jumlah penutur yang lebih ramai). Pemerhatian terhadap keupayaan identifikasi bahasa (LangID) ChatGPT dibuat untuk mengenal pasti punca timbulnya masalah pemilihan bahasa tersebut, sama ada diakibatkan oleh ralat LangID ataupun sebab selainnya. Hasil pemerhatian mendapati ralat LangID tidak dapat menjelaskan keparahan masalah tersebut. Berdasarkan perbandingan pola respons kepada prom bahasa Melayu dan prom bahasa Jawa, kajian ini menyimpulkan bahawa sebab utama berlaku masalah tersebut adalah kerana ChatGPT tidak menganggap bahasa Melayu dan bahasa Indonesia secara sama rata sebagai bahasa yang berlainan. ChatGPT sebaliknya menganggap bahasa Melayu adalah ragam tidak standard kepada bahasa Indonesia. Selain itu, kajian ini juga membincangkan isu sosial yang ditimbulkan oleh masalah pemilihan bahasa dan cara penyelesaian yang wajar dipertimbangkan bagi mengatasinya.

Authors: Pugosa Cherry Mae , Yumol Cristina , Nogadas Cristina , Etcuban Jonathan
Published: July 2024

This research determines the effects of the Heuristic method on students' performance in Mathematics 7 of a public national high school in the Philippines, school year 2022-2023. The quasi-experimental method used two sets of questionnaires (standardized Attitudes Towards Mathematics Inventory and standardized Algebra Test). The data were treated using frequency, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test of independence, and paired t-test. The study revealed that student’s profiles (age, gender, final grade in Grade 6 Math) do not have significant relationships with their level of mathematical attitudes and academic performance. However, a significant increase in test scores between the pretest and post-test results in a significant difference between the mean gained of both groups. Thus, teaching strategies could encourage students to increase their academic performance. It was concluded that the Heuristic teaching model helps students develop better mathematics learning. The researchers strongly recommend searching for more learning methods that could help elevate the learners' academic performance.
Sesgos implícitos, injusticia explícita
Authors: Rodríguez Martínez Héctor Alejandro
Published: July 2024

En este artículo se realiza un análisis epistemológico del impacto de los sesgos implícitos en el razonamiento probatorio en el contexto del derecho procesal penal mexicano. Se argumenta que estos sesgos afectan la justificación de las creencias, además de causar daños a individuos y a la sociedad, dificultando el logro de metas epistémicas del proceso, tales como la búsqueda de la verdad o el esclarecimiento de los hechos. Se sostiene que las personas juzgadoras son epistémicamente responsables por sus creencias implícitamente sesgadas, incluso si i) no tienen control directo sobre ellas, ii) su influencia es inconsciente y iii) no tienen acceso al conocimiento científico sobre los sesgos. Como ejemplo, se analiza la influencia de dichos sesgos en la valoración de la prueba testimonial según la jurisprudencia mexicana. También se proponen dos soluciones procesales para mitigar su impacto epistémicamente negativo.
valoración de la prueba en el arbitraje

La valoración de la prueba en el arbitraje, pese a que puede sostenerse que no tiene estándares con carácter definido, pues en la mayoría de los casos se atribuye al tribunal arbitral la potestad de su evaluación, no obstante en las prácticas comerciales se tienen en cuenta algunas pautas que resultan clásicas dentro de los sistemas tradicionales en el mundo occidental, como son el common law y el civil law, razón por la cual si bien se han señalado algunos de esos parámetros, se ha hecho especial referencia en esta tarea a nuestras pautas culturales y nuestra formación dentro del sistema continental, que si bien conceden al tribunal arbitral la facultad de acceder por vía de su libre convicción sobre la verdad construida en el proceso, ese método debe ser racional y controlable, circunstancias que asimilan el procedimiento a las reglas de la sana crítica.

Published: July 2024

Purpose: Study of the effect of vitamin D deficiency on the physical fitness and performance of athletes, as well as providing up-to-date information on the diagnosis and treatment of this hypovitaminosis. Material and methods: The data of domestic and foreign literature on the effect of vitamin D deficiency on the physical form and performance of athletes were analyzed. The search was carried out using electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, eLIBRARY for the period from 2007 to 2022. For the search, we used keywords and their combinations: “athletes”, “physical performance”, “stress fracture “, “vitamin D”. A total of 33 sources were analyzed. Results: Vitamin D plays an important role in the human body. With its deficiency in athletes, there is an increase in the risk of injury, a decrease in the functional abilities of muscles and an increase in the risk of stress fractures of bones. A prolonged and pronounced deficiency of this vitamin in athletes leads to a deterioration in general well-being, a disruption in the functioning of almost all body systems, a decrease in the level of working capacity and sports performance. The fundamental method of treatment and prevention of vitamin D deficiency in athletes is the correction of lifestyle, training schedule and the use of specialized supplements containing cholecalciferol. Discussion: The required amount of cholecalciferol intake varies from 400 to 2000 IU / day, depending on many factors, including the amount of sun exposure during the day, age, gender, severity of deficiency, ethnicity, etc. Athletes also need to consume sufficient amounts of micro- and macronutrients, especially calcium and magnesium. When taking cholecalciferol, one should take into account the possibility of intoxication, which occurs due to the consumption of excessive amounts of supplements of this vitamin. Conclusions: At the moment, due to the widespread prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in athletes and its negative impact on the health and performance of an athlete, there is a need for more active measures aimed at the timely diagnosis of this hypovitaminosis and its treatment.

Annual seasonal influenza epidemics cause substantial disease and economic burden worldwide. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020 and 2021, influenza activity significantly declined. However, influenza resurged in Australia following the relaxation of non-pharmaceutical interventions, with increased influenza virus circulation in early 2022 coinciding with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 variant wave. Together with other respiratory virus diseases, these disease impacts on the Australian population and healthcare system have re-emphasised the importance of influenza vaccination and control. We aim to provide an overview of the current seasonal influenza vaccination program in Australia and summarise evidence and considerations underpinning potential future immunisation strategies. Influenza causes disproportionately higher morbidity and mortality in young children and older adults. Other populations at elevated risk from influenza include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, pregnant women, and people with certain underlying medical conditions. All Australians aged ≥ 6 months are recommended to receive influenza vaccine every year. The National Immunisation Program (NIP) provides free vaccine for eligible at-risk populations. While approximately 70% of older adults had received influenza vaccine in 2022, coverage in other age groups remains suboptimal. There are several key unmet needs and challenges, but also potential strategies for enhancing the influenza vaccination program in Australia. Improved monitoring and evaluation, including the use of relevant linked datasets for such purposes, is imperative to better understand variations in coverage and vaccination impact in specific populations. Adoption of evidence-based strategies, such as culturally appropriate resources that consider the characteristics of diverse Australian populations, may also help to achieve higher vaccine coverage rates. Additionally, greater vaccine uptake across the population could be facilitated by expanding the NIP-eligible population where cost-effective, and adopting the use of more effective and different types of vaccines when available.

Disease surveillance data was critical in supporting public health decisions throughout the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. At the same time, the unprecedented circumstances of the pandemic revealed many shortcomings of surveillance systems for viral respiratory pathogens. Strengthening of surveillance systems was identified as a priority for the recently established Australian Centre for Disease Control, which represents a critical opportunity to review pre-pandemic and pandemic surveillance practices, and to decide on future priorities, during both pandemic and inter-pandemic periods. On 20 October 2022, we ran a workshop with experts from the academic and government sectors who had contributed to the COVID-19 response in Australia on ‘The role of surveillance in epidemic response’, at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Following the workshop, we developed five recommendations to strengthen respiratory virus surveillance systems in Australia, which we present here. Our recommendations are not intended to be exhaustive. We instead chose to focus on data types that are highly valuable yet typically overlooked by surveillance planners. Three of the recommendations focus on data collection activities that support the monitoring and prediction of disease impact and the effectiveness of interventions (what to measure) and two focus on surveillance methods and capabilities (how to measure). Implementation of our recommendations would enable more robust, timely, and impactful epidemic analysis.
An Activity-Based Costing model applied to the management process of patients with migraine at IRCCS Mondino Foundation
Authors: Degli Esposti Luca , Tabarroni Alessandro , Perrone Valentina , Gervasio Luisa , Pinelli Alberto , Sances Grazia
Published: July 2024

Background and aim: The ageing of the general population, with the increase in chronic diseases, poses the need for using technological innovation to face the growing healthcare needs. The present analysis applied the Activity-Based Costing tool in migraine patients followed at the IRCCS Mondino of Pavia to formalize and quantify the costs of the whole patient’s management process and to estimate the overall economic burden of migraine from the perspective of the National Health Service (NHS).
Methods: A two-stage analysis was conducted. The first stage aimed at drawing patient’s pathway, defining all the possible activities and actors involved in the healthcare delivery and treatment for migraine at the IRCCS during year 2022. The second phase was the development of a model to estimate the costs of the entire process by pricing the individual activities.
Results: The described model yielded an estimated total annual cost for the overall management of migraine of € 1,222,392, corresponding to a direct cost for a therapy of approximately 6 months per single patient of € 814. The most impactive items on the estimated annual expenditures were hospitalizations, followed by diagnostic examinations after follow-up visits and drugs dispensed by Hospital Pharmacy for home-administration (monoclonal antibodies).
Conclusions: This analysis allowed detailing the single activities and resources used in migraine patient’s pathway and then estimating the direct costs sustained by the NHS. The model could be translated to other diseases for optimizing the diagnostic/therapeutic and economic management of assisted patients and improving healthcare resource allocation.

In the article, a taxonomic method for selecting the optimal vectorization approach for processing current images in the optical-electronic module of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) was developed. The primary goal of this method is to optimize UAV navigation systems, which is particularly relevant due to the need to improve data processing efficiency in conditions of limited access to satellite navigation systems. This is critically important for ensuring high autonomy and accuracy of UAVs during the performance of various tasks. The need for such a method arose from the specific challenges faced by UAVs when operating in complex and unpredictable conditions. Analysis has shown that the use of vector images can significantly reduce the time required for information processing. This is possible due to the smaller volume of data that needs to be processed compared to traditional raster images. Reducing information processing time is critically important for the operational capability of UAVs to respond to dynamic changes in the operational environment, especially in critical situations. The taxonomic approach applied in the study allows for systematic classification and evaluation of different vectorization methods in terms of their processing speed, accuracy of results, and data retention efficiency. This enables the identification of the most suitable method for the specific operational conditions in which the UAV is used, thereby optimizing the overall system performance. Furthermore, the results of this research are significant not only in the scientific field but also in practical applications. By improving autonomous navigation systems for UAVs, the study directly contributes to enhancing their effectiveness in complex and unpredictable conditions. This is particularly relevant for missions that require a high level of precision and reliability, such as those performed by military UAVs and emergency response. Enhanced navigation capabilities allow these UAVs to perform complex maneuvers and make real-time decisions based on processed vectorized images, thereby reducing the risk of errors and increasing mission success rates. An improved vectorization method could lead to significant enhancements in UAV navigation systems, making them more resistant to failures and capable of operating in less structured environments without heavy reliance on satellite signals. This enhancement is vitally important for both military and civilian UAV applications, where operational flexibility and reliability are extremely important.

In the conditions of modern highly maneuverable combat operations and the presence of the enemy's powerful means of defeat, the restoration of the combat capability of communications equipment in the shortest possible time and its maintenance at a certain level depend on the clear organization and timely performance of technical support tasks regarding the staffing of military units and units of the NGU with communications property connection (MZ), maintaining it in constant readiness for use as intended, quick restoration and implementation. These tasks can be partially solved due to the creation of a special exchange fund, intended for the prompt replenishment of communications assets that have turned out to be inoperable or were lost as a result of hostilities. The main task of technical support of communications (TSC) is to carry out a set of measures to equip military units and subdivisions of the National Guard of Ukraine (NGU) with communications equipment, maintain it in constant readiness for intended use, and quickly restore and put it into operation. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for calculating the exchange fund of communication property (EFCP) of the NGU units. The article proposes a solution to the problem of determining the optimal structure of the exchange fund of the NGU units, and reveals the methods of calculating the amount of communication property (CP) for different strategies of using the exchange fund. Based on the results of the study carried out in the article, the main directions for improving the system of M&E in the NGU are identified. The method described in the article can be recommended for use by the personnel of the communication technical support units of the NGU when forming an exchange fund for communication property and developing relevant instructions for the material support of the troops.
Art&Design&Craft in the Two-dimensional World Culture
Authors: Yao Guanhua
Published: July 2024

The article employs two-dimensional world cultural products as a case study to examine the nuanced relationship between art, crafts, and design within this realm. Given the vast array of cultural products within the two-dimensional world, the focus of analysis is narrowed down to in-game photography and figures. Initially, the article outlines the currently accepted definitions of art, crafts, and design. Subsequently, it delves into the diverse attitudes exhibited by various audience groups towards these categories. The primary conclusion drawn is that while the boundaries between the concepts of art, crafts, and design may be blurred, each possesses distinct characteristics and differences. Thus, whether considering specific products within the two-dimensional world culture or examining two-dimensional culture more broadly, it becomes apparent that, from a certain perspective, the three can be differentiated.
Dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s: Operationalising a teaching and learning community of practice
Authors: Lin Vienne , Lam Paul
Published: July 2024

Social theories of learning propose that communities serve as vital building blocks for knowledge sharing and construction (Bandura, 1977; Cobb, 1994). In essence, learning thrives when individuals congregate in a community where they exchange tacit knowledge and expose areas of ignorance (Wenger et al., 2002). Nevertheless, the process of cultivating a community of practice is not necessarily straightforward, as it requires meticulous planning and decision-making. This instrumental case study seeks to explicate the formation and development of a teaching and learning community of practice (T&L CoP) at a research-intensive university in Hong Kong. More specifically, it explores how the structural model of the community of practice – domain, community, and practice – are applied and manifested. Multiple sources of documents, including a project proposal, a project website, a project progress report and archival records, were analysed using deductive thematic analysis. The results reveal that the T&L CoP is constitutive of an overarching domain of teaching and learning, within which ten special interest groups are formed. The T&L CoP also bring together 150 professoriate and professional staff from across eight faculties. The community facilitates knowledge exchange through periodic professional development workshops and materials as well as sharing sessions that highlight exemplary teaching practice. The study concludes by discussing three fundamental questions regarding the operationalisation of a CoP, in terms of expansion, retention, as well as sustainability, and argues that the T&L CoP helps cultivate members’ social capital through improved networks and visibility among the teaching and learning community.

Coral reefs are lately suffering a fast decline in biodiversity due to the coupled effect of climate change and disease outbreaks, which in recent decades have been reported with higher frequency and shorter intervals. Limited studies have been conducted on coral diseases in the Maldives resulting in the impossibility of assessing the temporal trend in their dynamics. In this context, we evaluated the change in the distribution, prevalence, and host range of 4 diseases, namely black band disease (BBD), brown band disease (BrB), skeletal eroding band (SEB) and white syndrome (WS), in the reef system around Thudufushi Island after an interval of 12 yr since the last assessment. In this period, the overall disease prevalence increased, except for BrB, with SEB showing the most severe increase in 2022 in comparison to 2010. The overall average prevalence of coral diseases is approximately 2%, indicating an increase of about 0.7% since 2010. Diseased coral colonies were found in all the investigated sites, with the east site being the most affected and SEB emerging as the most prevalent disease across all the investigated sites. The affected colonies belong to 13 genera, with Psammocora genus showing the highest overall mean disease prevalence. This study depicted a basic temporal trend in disease prevalence that confirms an increase in coral diseases in the region and calls for a dedicated national monitoring protocol to better understand and predict future coral disease dynamics at regional scales.
