Authors: Subhapriya P. , Santhosh K.
Published: March 2023

In this work, we have proposed a structure that can accumulate information related to nursery climate and yield status and control the framework naturally considering the assembled information. By deeply noticing occasional conditions, this study has the justification behind getting an association between sensor banners and reference assessments. Control programming will give data findings of the continuous show. Through long-time running and functional utilization, the framework has been demonstrated that it has numerous points of interest. To monitor the environment inside the greenhouse different parameters have been considered such as light, temperature, humidity, soil moisture, etc. using different sensors like DHT22 temperature and humidity Sensor, LDR, grove-moisture sensor, etc. which will be interfaced with a microcontroller. A shut circle framework will execute control activity to change temperature, mugginess, light power and soil dampness if any undesirable blunders (high/low) happen.

Published: March 2023

Labor recruiters usually use psychodiagnostic selection measures of the job seeker for the field of work and aspects of the personality. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of personality development training with a psychological approach. The type of research used was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. 80 sample from all majors at the medan state polytechnic was divided into two groups: interventions that trained students with psychology-based personality development training management (n=40) and controls with factual training models (n=40). The training intervention was carried out for three days. Data was measured through standard psychological questionnaires, analyzed independent t-test using spss. Psychology-based personality development training management is effective in improving student personality: aspects of ability, personality, and work productivity (p-value <0.05). This training management model provides a new understanding for universities so that students are more ready to work.

Published: March 2023

Aim: Turner Syndrome (TS) is caused by partial or complete absence of the second sex chromosome in a phenotypic female. TS is associated with recognizable congenital anomalies and chronic health conditions. The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the health-related knowledge and insight of participants. Methods: In 2015, we founded the UTHealth Turner Syndrome Research Registry for longitudinal follow-up of individuals with TS. Study participants were recruited from UTHealth Houston clinics and the Turner Syndrome Society of the United States. Participants completed a questionnaire about demographics, karyotype, congenital anomalies, health history, frequency of contact with care providers, and knowledge of care providers about TS. Results: Forty percent of registry participants indicated that they did not know their karyotypes. Knowledge of karyotype, which can predict clinical outcomes in TS, markedly varied by self-reported race and ethnicity but not by age. Participants also reported significant gaps in routine medical and gynecologic care. Conclusion: We identified knowledge gaps and health disparities that could benefit from improved provider and patient education.

Published: March 2023

Abstract: One of the factors that influence the complications of pregnancy and childbirth is diabetes mellitus. In this study, it was intended to create experimental diabetic conditions in experimental white rats with the administration of aloksan for 5 days. A total of 30 mice were checked for sugar levels on day 7 after inducing alloxane to see that the mice were already in a hyperglycemic state. Then divided into 6 groups, each group there are 5 white pregnant rats. Group 1 was the negative group (without being given aloksan), group 2 was positive group (given aloksan as much as 150 mg / day / kg BB), groups 3, 4, 5 and 6 were given Aloksan 150mg / day / kg and each was given simultaneously isothiocyanates with a dose of 0.1; 0,2; 0.4 and 0.8 mg/day/kg BB. DNA fragmentation is one of the characteristics of apoptosis. In this study DNA fragmentation was examined by the TUNEL method (Terminal deoxynucleotidyl Transferase-mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling). The average number of trophoblast cells in white pregnant rats hyperglycemia that experienced apoptosis decreased as the dose of isotiocyanate therapy increased in rats that had been induced by alloxane. And the best dose is at a dose of 0.8 mg / day / kg BB.

The grapevine metabolite profile of phloem sap is modified by flavescence dorée
Authors: Teixeira António , Noronha Henrique , Frusciante Sarah , Diretto Gianfranco , Gerós Hernâni
Published: March 2023

Flavescence dorée (FD) has been recorded in French vineyards since the mid-1950s; it has rapidly become a major threat to vineyard survival in different European grape-growing areas. Infection by the phytoplasma ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma vitis’ causes leaf chlorosis and disturbs primary and secondary core metabolic pathways; it can also occlude sieve plates, therefore affecting normal solute transport through the phloem. Thus, in the present study we hypothesised that the metabolomic fingerprint of the phloem sap changes in FDp-infected vines. The metabolome of the phloem sap collected by centrifugation from the bark of the stem of healthy and infected vines (cv. ‘Loureiro’) was profiled by ESI-HRMS at two snapshot time points: E-L 33 (grape berry still hard and green) and E-L 38 (grape berry at maturity). An untargeted analysis of the phloem sap enabled the identification of 476 metabolites, whereas the targeted analysis focused on eight main classes, namely acids, sugar and polyols, amino acids, phenolic acids, hormones, vitamins and N compounds, as well as on several minor classes like fatty acids, phenols or diols. Depending on the developmental stage of the vine, major differences were observed in the composition of cv. ‘Loureiro’ phloem sap in response to FD infection in terms of sugar, organic acid and amino acid content; furthermore, compounds involved in plant defense, such as salicylic acid, ABA, vitamin C and gallic acid also significantly changed. Overall, these results have contributed towards increasing knowledge about the complex interactions between vine and FD phytoplasma.

The use of palm oil mill fly ash (FA) as a low-cost adsorbent is one of the solutions for handling FA waste. In this study, the addition of dolomite is expected to improve the adsorbent performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the optimum FA-dolomite adsorbent composition and operating conditions for methylene blue adsorption. Different parameters were studied to optimize adsorption process such as the amount of dolomite, methylene blue flow rate, bed height and number of trays. FA-dolomite was converted into nano-adsorbent by sol-gel method which was coated on zeolite surface. Nano-adsorbents were characterized by XRF, FTIR, XRD and SEM. The adsorption capacity was tested by Spectrophotometer UV-Vis. XRF characterization showed that FA had the highest SiO2 content of 58.15%, while dolomite contained CaO of 52.72%. FTIR characterization detected the groups of Si-O-Si, Si-O-Al, Ca-O and Si-O. XRD characterization showed the average crystalline size of FA-dolomite 2% adsorbent was 28.56 nm and SEM characterization showed fine pores on the adsorbent surface. The highest adsorption efficiency obtained at FA-dolomite 2% was 97.364% and the lowest obtained at FA-dolomite 8% was 13.16% with a flow rate of 500 ml/h, adsorbent height of 9 cm and 3 trays. The greater the amount of dolomite added, the absorption efficiency decreases.

Published: March 2023

Polymer additive’s function is to improve film quality, including slip additives which function as film surface lubricants. Slip additives affect the physical characteristics of the film as indicated by the coefficient of friction and optical properties. In this research, the influence of slip additives and the aging time of the coefficient of friction (COF) and the optical properties of polyethylene (PE) films have been studied. The optical properties of the film are measured based on the haze value and the gloss value. The additives used in this study were erucamide, stearyl erucamide, and a mixture of the two. Observations were made for 14 days at 23 °C and 50 °C. Measurements of the COF, haze value, and gloss value were carried out on days 0, 1, 3, 7, 10, and 14. The results showed that the lowest COF was produced on films with erucamide additives. Films with erucamide additives had the best friction coefficient value of 0.129 on the 3rd day of aging at 50 °C, a haze value of 4.63% and a gloss value of 56.5 GU.
Does insulin resistance contribute to the ‘unbrowning’ of brown adipose tissue?
Authors: Tulp Orien L.
Published: March 2023

Historically many patients may present with symptoms suggestive of hypothyroidism or disordered thyroidal parameters, but when the usual labs come back, they often fail to identify any obvious failings in their hypothalamic-thyroidal axis. However, when we turn to the findings in lab rats we may discern the real culprit in the patients’ apparent symptomology. Patients often experiment with any number of a broad assortment of dietary and exercise approaches to resolve their body weight and other issues with little success. Indeed, Laurberg et al. noted that small differences in thyroid function alone have been associated with up to 5 kg difference in body weight.1 Some patients may also experience symptoms of being overly sensitive to dietary carbohydrates, but even after careful monitoring of the types and amounts of carbohydrates consumed, may still often harbor lingering weight control issues but which fall well short of that required for a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome

Published: March 2023

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is a viral poultry disease known worldwide for impacting the economy and food security. The disease is endemic in Nigeria, with reported outbreaks in vaccinated poultry flocks. To gain insight into the dynamics of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) evolution in Nigeria, near-complete genomes of four IBDVs were evaluated. Amino acid sequences in the hypervariable region of the VP2 revealed conserved markers (222A, 242I, 256I, 294I and 299S), associated with very virulent (vv) IBDV, including the serine-rich heptapeptide motif (SWSASGS). Based on the newly proposed classification for segments A and B, the IBDVs clustered in the A3B5 group (where A3 are IBDVs with vvIBDV-like segment A and B5 are from non-vvIBDV-like segment B) forming a monophyletic subcluster. Unique amino acid mutations with yet-to-be-determined biological functions have been observed in both segments. Amino acid sequences of the Nigerian IBDVs showed that they are reassortant viruses. Circulation of reassortant IBDVs may be responsible for the vaccination failures observed in the Nigerian poultry population. Close monitoring of changes in the IBDV genome is recommended to nip deleterious changes in the bud, through the identification and introduction of the most appropriate vaccine candidates and advocacy/extension programs for properly implementing disease control.

Published: March 2023

From the merge of arts and crafts towards a practice for mass production of desirability, consumption and product development in a capitalist economy of scale, design has lost its natural ability of problem comprehension and tension alleviation. The modern world needs the creativity, flexibility, and responsiveness embedded into design practices, mostly when a behavioural change, either individual or organizational, is intended. Still, the informality nature of the field is creating a gap between the study, research, and industrial design practice. Here it is presented the Biology of Creativity Model (BoC) which is a design-by-analogy method that promotes an empowered design practice through analysis of mostly biology reference texts for enhanced creativity and innovation performance in a diverse array of contexts.

Landslides around the main roads in the mountains not only cause fatal events but also cause ecosystem damage, including land degradation. This study aims to map the susceptibility of the landslides around the Saqqez-Marivan main rod of Kurdistan province, Iran, using ensemble Fuzzy logic with Analytic Network Process (Fuzzy Logic-ANP; FLANP), and with TOPSIS (Fuzzy Logic-TOPSIS; FLTOPSIS). A total of 100 landslides were first recognized by field surveys and then they were randomly divided into a 70% dataset (70 locations) and a 30% dataset (30 locations), respectively, for training and validating the methods. Eleven landslide conditioning factors, including slope, aspect, elevation, lithology, land use, distance to fault, distance to a river, distance to road, soil type, curvature, and precipitation were used. The performance of the methods was checked by the areas under the receiver operating curve (AUCROC). Results concluded that the prediction accuracy based on validating datasets were, respectively, 0.882 and 0.918 for FLANP and FLTOPSIS methods. Our findings demonstrated that although both models were known as promising techniques, the FLTOPSIS method had a better capacity for predicting the susceptibility of landslides in the studied area. Therefore, the susceptibility map developed by the FLTOPSIS method can be used for the proper management of areas with high landslide potential and also for managers and planners during the implementation of land allocation and development projects, especially in mountainous areas.

Published: March 2023

An out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of death in the world. The survival rate can be influenced by the Chain of Survival. The school is the institution that has the opportunity to promote the education of citizens in Basic Life Support (BLS), increasing the number of trained bystanders. This study aimed to identify the theoretical and practical knowledge and self-reported skills in BLS, in order to characterise the motivation to intervene in an emergency situation. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, and analytical study of the survey type was developed with a sample of 1215 students enrolled in 10th grade of secondary education in 2019-2020 in Portugal. The results point to a fragile appropriation of theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of BLS. Self-declared competences tend to rank below the theoretical knowledge manifested. Motivation to intervene is high: students are sensitive to the topic, willing to learn and highlight the importance and social relevance of the topic. We conclude that students do not feel nor are able to intervene in an OHCA episode. It seems necessary to develop didactic proposals that align the teaching of BLS with the Essential Learning at the end of compulsory education in Portugal.

Published: March 2023

Numerous researchers and institutions have been developing in ovo sexing technologies to improve animal welfare by identifying male embryos in an early embryonic stage and disposing of them before pain perception. This review gives a complete overview of the technological approaches reported in papers and patents by performing a thorough search using Web of Science and Patstat databases for papers and patents, respectively. Based on a total of 45 papers and 100 patent families up until 2021 reported worldwide, 11 technology categories were defined: six non-optical and five optical techniques. Every category was described for its characteristics while assessing its potential for application. Next, the dynamics of the publications of in ovo sexing techniques in both paper and patent fields were described through growth curves, and the interest or actual status was visualized using the number of paper citations and the actual legal status of the patents. When comparing the reported technologies in papers to those in patents, scientific gaps were observed, as some of the patented technologies were not reported in the scientific literature, e.g., ion mobility and mass spectrometry approaches. Generally, more diverse approaches in all categories were found in patents, although they do require more scientific evidence through papers or industrial adoption to prove their robustness. Moreover, although there is a recent trend for non-invasive techniques, invasive methods like analyzing DNA through PCR or hormones through immunosensing are still being reported (and might continue to be) in papers and patents. It was also observed that none of the technologies complies with all the industry requirements. Thus, more research and harmony between consumers, industry, and governments is necessary.

Published: March 2023

Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) is one of the critical factors for global atmospheric conditions, climate change, and air pollution. AOT has been exposed as a major component of air pollution in Bangladesh. This paper aims to map the seasonal distribution of AOT from 2002-2022 and to explore the internal relationship between AOT and ten air pollutants using remote sensing and machine learning tools. These ten air pollutants are Particulate matter (PM2.5), Methane (CH4), Carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Formaldehyde (HCHO), Ozone (O3), Sulfur dioxide (SO2), Aerosol Particulate Radius (APR), Nitrogen oxide (NOx) and Black carbon (BC). The results show that the concentrations of AOT were higher in December-January-February (mean value 0.50) and March-April-May (mean value 0.50) seasons, mostly in the central, western, and southern parts of Dhaka, Narayanganj, and Munshiganj districts. AOT was a bit less in June-July-August (mean value 0.33) and September-October-November (mean value 0.37). This paper also revealed that the AOT was correlated positively with PM2.5 (0.60), CH4 (0.80), NO (0.76), and BC (0.83) while correlated negatively with CO (-0.66), HCHO (-0.16), SO2 (-0.41), APR (-0.48), and NOx (-0.20). From the machine learning, the Rational quadratic GPR (RME-0.0024, MAE-0.0015, R2-0.96), Matern 5/2 GPR (RMSE-0.0023, MAE-0.0015, R2-0.96), and Squared Exponential GPR (RMSE-0.0015, MAE-0.0015, R2-0.96) were found good classifiers to predict AOT. UN agencies, government line departments, and local and regional development councils for air pollution mitigation and long-term protective measures may use the paper's key results.

Objectives. To examine commonalities and gaps in the content of local US heat action plans (HAPs) designed to decrease the adverse health effects of extreme heat.

Methods. We used content analysis to identify common strategies and gaps in extreme heat preparedness among written HAPs in the United States from jurisdictions that serve municipalities with more than 200 000 residents. We reviewed, coded, and analyzed plans to assess the prevalence of key components and strategies.

Results. All 21 plans evaluated incorporated data on activation triggers, heat health messaging and risk communication, cooling centers, surveillance activities, and agency coordination, and 95% incorporated information on outreach to at-risk populations. Gaps existed in the specific applications of these broad strategies.

Conclusions. Practice-based recommendations as well as future areas of research should focus on increasing targeted strategies for at-risk individuals and expanding the use of surveillance data outside of situational awareness.

Authors: Eisenberg-Guyot Jerzy , Finsaas Megan C. , Prins Seth J.
Published: March 2023

Objectives. To estimate social class inequities in US mortality using a relational measure based on power over productive property and workers’ labor.

Methods. We used nationally representative 1986–2018 National Health Interview Survey data with mortality follow-up through December 31, 2019 (n = 911 850). First, using business-ownership, occupational, and employment-status data, we classified respondents as incorporated business owners (IBOs), unincorporated business owners (UBOs), managers, workers, or not in the labor force (NLFs). Next, using inverse-probability-weighted survival curves, we estimated class mortality inequities overall, after subdividing workers by employment status and occupation, and by period, gender, race/ethnicity, and education.

Results. UBOs, workers, and NLFs had, respectively, 6.3 (95% confidence interval [CI] = −8.1, −4.6), 6.6 (95% CI = −8.1, −5.0), and 19.4 (95% CI = −21.0, −17.7) per 100 lower 34-year survival rates than IBOs. Mortality risk was especially high for unemployed, blue-collar, and service workers. Inequities increased over time and were greater among male, racially minoritized, and less-educated respondents.

Conclusions. We estimated considerable mortality inequities by class, gender, and race/ethnicity. We also estimated that class mortality inequities are increasing, threatening population health.

Public Health Implications. Addressing class inequities likely requires structural, worker-empowering interventions. (Am J Public Health. 2023;113(6):637–646. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307227 )

Case:

A 70-year-old man underwent anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) of the C3/4 and C4/5 levels by a left-sided approach to address canal stenosis causing right arm weakness. Intraoperative neuromonitoring demonstrated an intermittent decrease in left-sided motor signals. Postoperatively, the patient experienced a right middle cerebral artery stroke. At the 1-year follow-up, right arm strength had improved, but there was persistent left-sided weakness due to stroke.

Conclusion:

Although rare, possible intraoperative stroke should be considered when there are changes in motor or sensory evoked potentials. In addition, considerations should be given to pursue carotid stenosis screening in patients undergoing ACDF with known atherosclerosis or stroke history.

Case:

A 53-year-old woman with a history of transfemoral amputation presented to the emergency department with an ipsilateral intertrochanteric femur fracture. Standard fracture tables that use a boot to pull traction are not helpful in these cases, which makes achieving adequate traction for reduction difficult.

Conclusion:

We describe a unique technique to manipulate an amputated extremity using 2 Schanz pins attached to a weight through a traction rope. This practical technique provided adequate skeletal traction for reduction and internal fixation in our case and can be performed on a standard radiolucent table without the need for special table attachments.
Ankle Fractures in Diabetic Patients

Published: March 2023

» Patients with diabetes are at higher risk for complications after surgical fixation of unstable fractures due to impaired neurovascular functioning and wound-healing capabilities.

» Patients with uncontrolled diabetes have higher rates of complications when compared with patients with controlled diabetes.

» Despite higher rates of complications, operative fixation of unstable ankle fractures in diabetic patients reliably leads to a functional lower extremity with an overall lower rate of complications than nonoperative management.

» Operatively and nonoperatively managed ankle fractures in patients with diabetes should remain non–weight-bearing for an extended period of time.

» Discussion of risk of poor outcomes including deep infection, loss of reduction, return to the operating room, and risk of arthrodesis or amputation should be explicitly discussed with patients and families when managing unstable ankle fractures in diabetic patients.

Published: March 2023

El presente trabajo de investigación fue realizado con el fin de determinar el efecto del tiempo de ayuno sobre la respuesta productiva, niveles de glucosa sanguínea, absorción de saco vitelino y peso de órganos en pollos de engorde en fase pre inicial. En la investigación se trabajó con un total de 216 pollos machos bebes de la línea Cobb 500, repartidos en cuatro tratamientos, de tres repeticiones y 18 pollos por repetición. Los tratamientos experimentales fueron los tiempos de ayuno considerando 2h, 8h, 16h y 24h post nacimiento. Para la investigación se instaló a los animales en baterías debidamente acondicionadas y se realizaron necropsias al día 0, 3 y 7 de nacimiento para evaluar las variables de interés. El peso final, la ganancia de peso y la conversión alimenticia, peso relativo de la pechuga y del intestino fue mejor (p < 0.05) en los pollos que consumieron el alimento y el agua a las 2 horas después del nacimiento, mientras que; los pollos que recibieron agua y alimento 24 horas después del nacimiento presentaron menor ganancia de peso y peor conversión alimenticia y niveles más elevados de glucosa (p < 0.05) sanguínea después de dos horas de iniciar el primer consumo de alimento. Las aves con 16 y 24 horas de ayuno presentaron rezagos del saco vitelino a los 7 días de edad. De este modo las aves alimentadas más tempranamente post nacimiento presentarán mejores índices productivos, lo cual está relacionado con el crecimiento y desarrollo del hígado, intestino y pechuga. La reabsorción del saco vitelino se hace más lenta cuando se incrementan las horas de ayuno post nacimiento.

El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar los factores asociados a la falta de adherencia al tratamiento oftalmológico en pacientes con glaucoma, en una clínica privada. En cuanto a la metodología, el estudio fue observacional, analítico y transversal. La muestra fue conformada por 106 pacientes con diagnóstico previo de glaucoma. El análisis estadístico se realizó con ayuda del programa STATAv.16., se realizó la prueba t de Student, la prueba Chi cuadrado y el análisis de regresión logística, el nivel de significancia fue 5%. Los resultados evidenciaron que la edad promedio de los pacientes fue 66,6 ± 13,8 años, la mayoría fueron mujeres (59,43%), procedentes de la costa (62,26%), con grado de instrucción secundaria (38,68%). La frecuencia de mala adherencia al tratamiento oftalmológico fue 69,81% (n=74). El análisis multivariado de regresión logística reveló que la accesibilidad a los medicamentos (OR=0,10; IC95%=0,03-0,32) y cumplir la hora de la medicación (OR=0,09; IC95%=0.02-0.33) representan factores protectores de mala adherencia al tratamiento, mientras que la interrupción de la medicación por sentirse bien de salud (OR=9,23; IC95%=1,08-78,52), necesitar ayuda para colocarse las gotas (OR=2,61; IC95%=1,10-6,20) y suspender el tratamiento si no encuentra ayuda (OR=4.43; IC95%=1,19-16,25) representan factores de riesgo de mala adherencia al tratamiento oftalmológico. En conclusión, los pacientes con glaucoma sin acceso a los medicamentos, que incumplen horario de su medicación, que interrumpen la medicación por sentirse bien de salud, que necesitan ayuda en su atención y no encuentran la ayuda son más propensos a una mala adherencia al tratamiento oftalmológico.

Published: March 2023

Development of lightweight plasters for mortar rendering utilizing Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum have been reported here. Lightweight plasters prepared using FGD gypsum and exfoliated vermiculite were characterized and studied in detail for interior wall applications. Different gypsum vermiculite plasters (GVP) with variable amounts of vermiculite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TG-DTG). The physicochemical and mechanical properties of all the samples are determined and considered to be efficient for interior applications. An optimum mix composition was selected based on its compressive strength, water absorption and porosity. Water absorption and porosity studies restrict the usage of GVP only to interior wall purposes. The acoustic performance of the materials revealed good sound absorption (α = 0.65). Plasters exhibit satisfactory durability under severe conditions of winter and summer weather. GVP shows excellent fire resistance under BS 476-1997 fire resistance classification with thermal conductivities (< 0.161 W/mK) much lower than standard building materials, which makes them fit for energy efficient insulation materials. These studies depict the efficient utilization of thermal power plant waste, FGD gypsum in interior wall insulation for mortar rendering and can be further extended to exterior construction applications by reducing water absorption.

Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study is to identify the types of pain changes that affect older Koreans, as well as their effects on depression. We analyzed the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) data collected from 2010 to 2018. A data of total of 1,359 participants, aged 65 or older were used to estimate the change in pain. A latent growth model and Growth Mixture Modeling (GMM) was performed to estimate the overall change in pain and to categorize the types of pain changes. The pain changes of older adults were classified into two categories: 'low-stable', and 'high increasing'. The depression showed a stronger relationship among the high-increasing type of pain than the low-stable type. The high-increasing type had a higher percentage of women, lower-income, relatively low educational attainment, and a higher percentage of rural residents than the low-stable type. The significance of this study is that it reiterated the importance of early pain diagnosis and intervention by identifying the types of pain changes in older adults and analyzing their effects on depression. Therefore, it is especially important to pay attention to interventions that are designed to help vulnerable groups with a high risk of pain obtain effective pain management.

Published: March 2023

Agricultural carbon emission reduction is an important issue in environmental protection and development in China and the world. The farmland spatial transition is an important path for agricultural modernization in developing countries such as China. How can farmland spatial transition promote agricultural carbon emission reduction? This paper aims to explore the mechanisms and spatial-temporal effects of farmland spatial transition on agricultural carbon emission density. To study the mechanisms and effects, we establish the random effect model, the threshold model, and the GTWR model with 2018 counties in China from 2000 to 2020. The research shows the farmland spatial transition mainly promotes agricultural carbon emission reduction through the interaction mechanism of large-scale production and specialized management, intermediary and threshold mechanisms of agricultural technology. The result also shows that specialized farmland management is the main driving force of agricultural carbon emission reduction for farmland spatial transition. Moreover, the impact of farmland spatial transition on agricultural carbon emission reduction has significant spatial and temporal differences. The most significant regions are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain, while the least are the north and southwest. Besides, the impact of the farmland spatial transition on agricultural carbon emissions reduction has a "V" shape over time, indicating China's agricultural carbon emission reduction is facing enormous economic and social development challenges. Our research reveals the various mechanisms and spatial-temporal effects of the transition of farmland spatial morphology on agricultural carbon emission with an evaluation framework, which is crucial to low-carbon agriculture with proper farmland use.

Despite recent efforts to increase diversity in genome-wide association studies (GWASs), most loci currently associated with kidney function are still limited to European ancestry due to the underlying sample selection bias in available GWASs. We set out to identify susceptibility loci associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcrea) in 80027 individuals of African-ancestry from the UK Biobank (UKBB), Million Veteran Program (MVP), and Chronic Kidney Disease genetics (CKDGen) consortia. We identified 8 lead loci, 7 of which were previously associated with eGFR in other populations. We identified one novel variant, rs77408001 which is an intronic variant mapped to the ELN gene. We validated seven previously reported loci at GATM-SPATA5L1 and AGPAT3. Fine-mapping analysis identified variants rs77121243 and rs201602445 as having a 99.9% posterior probability of being causal. Our results warrant designing bigger studies within individuals of African ancestry to gain new insights into the pathogenesis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and identify genomic variants unique to this ancestry that may influence renal function and disease.
