Authors:   Don State Technical University, VETROVA T.A.
Published: October 2023

The existing methods for constructing routes and route networks are based on the analysis of statistical data on stable passenger flows. The method of dynamic management of public transport routes developed by the author implies the need to build bus routes in real time, taking into account current demand. It is based on working with subroutes and sub-groups of passengers, which necessitates further theoretical development of these concepts. In the work, the author estab-lished the dependences of the change in the maximum number of subgroups of passengers on the haul on the number of stopping points of the route for pendulum and ring routes.

Improving Arctic Sea-Ice Thickness Estimates with the Assimilation of CryoSat-2 Summer Observations
Authors: Min Chao , Yang Qinghua , Luo Hao , Chen Dake , Krumpen Thomas , Mamnun Nabir , Liu Xiaoyu , Nerger Lars
Published: October 2023

Rapidly shrinking Arctic sea ice has had substantial impacts on the Earth system. Therefore, reliably estimating the Arctic sea-ice thickness (SIT) using a combination of available observations and numerical modeling is urgently needed. Here, for the first time, we assimilate the latest CryoSat-2 summer SIT data into a coupled ice-ocean model. In particular, an incremental analysis update scheme is implemented to overcome the discontinuity resulting from the combined assimilation of biweekly SIT and daily sea-ice concentration (SIC) data. Along with improved estimates of sea-ice volume, our SIT estimates corrected the overestimation of SIT produced by the reanalysis that assimilates only SIC in summer in areas where the sea ice is roughest and experiences strong deformation, e.g., around the Fram Strait and Greenland. This study suggests that the newly developed CryoSat-2 SIT product, when assimilated properly using our approach, has great potential for Arctic sea-ice simulation and prediction.

Background: Anemia is a serious public health problem which may be associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and brain damage. This survey aims to determine the prevalence of anemia and its association with demographic and biochemical factors and metabolic syndrome in a human sample derived from the MASHAD cohort study. Methods: This survey was conducted on a sub-sample of 9847 individuals aged 35 to 65 as part of the MASHAD cohort study. Demographic characteristics and biochemical and anthropometrics indices were recorded. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: Anemia was seen in 11.5% of the population. Anemia was significantly more prevalent in younger subject (P<0.001), females (P<0.001) and those with elevated body mass index (BMI) (P<0.001). Mean high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was higher in anemic participant (P=0.032). The incidence of anemia was significantly lower in smokers (P<0.001) and also participant with hypertension (HTN) (P<0.001), diabetes mellitus (DM) (P<0.001) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) (P<0.001). Mean FBG (P<0.001), TG (P<0.001), total cholesterol (P<0.001), LDL (P<0.001) and uric acid (P<0.001) were significantly lower in anemic subjects. Cholesterol, MetS, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), BMI, uric acid, diabetes mellitus and also TG remained significantly different after multivariate analysis between anemic and healthy participants. Conclusion: The studied population had a lower prevalence of anemia compared to the previous WHO report for Iranians. Iron deficiency is recognized as the most important cause of anemia in Iran; however, further investigations will be need to confirm this pattern. We demonstrated that anemia is adversely associated with MetS and DM.

Background: Aggression and suicide attempt are behaviors that affect public health. To better understand the nature of these behaviors, the present study was conducted to investigate the concurrence of suicide attempt and aggression in young people. This study sought to identify those factors which contribute to the co-occurrence of suicide attempt and aggression in young people. Methods: The present study was part of the recruitment phase of Ravansar youth cohort study (a branch of the PERSIAN Cohort) with a sample of 2991 people from Ravansar in western Iran. Registration and data collection were done between October 2014 and January 2017. Data were collected using structured interviews and standard questionnaires, and analyzed using multi-nominal logistic regression analysis. Results: The results showed that the variables of age and education were significant correlates of concurrence of suicide attempt and aggression. Also, among the mental disorders, only major depressive disorder (MDD) (OR=8.34, P=0.001) predicted the concurrence of suicide attempt and aggression in the past 12 month. In contrast, the variables of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), dysthymia, and substance use disorder were not significant in predicting the concurrence of attempted suicide and aggression. Conclusion: The occurrence of aggression and suicide in young people is a complex phenomenon, and more research should be done to better understand this phenomenon.

Published: October 2023

Background: Based on the critical role of MT4-MMP and MT6-MMP in carcinogenesis, we focused on MT4-MMP and MT6-MMP circulating levels in patients with thyroid nodules. Methods: Plasma samples were collected from three groups, including papillary thyroid cancer (PTC; n=30), multinodular goiter (MNG; n=30), and healthy subjects (n=22). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to obtain the concentration of MT4-MMP and MT6-MMP in the three groups. Results: Analysis of data demonstrated increased levels of MT4-MMP (PTC: 4.90±1.35, MNG: 4.89±1.37, and healthy: 3.13±1.42) and MT6-MMP (PTC: 8.29±2.50, MNG: 7.34±2.09, and healthy:5.01±2.13) in thyroid nodules by comparison with healthy subjects (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the levels of the two MT-MMPs between PTC and MNG (P>0.05). Increased plasma levels of MT4-MMP (odds ratio=2.48; 95% CI: 1.46–4.19; P=0.001) or MT6-MMP (odds ratio=1.81; 95% CI: 1.29–2.53; P=0.001) were associated with increased risk of PTC tumorigenesis. Interestingly, a strong positive association was observed between MT4-MMP and MT6-MMP in the three groups (PTC: r=0.766**, P=0.000; MNG: r=0.856**, P=0.000; healthy r=0.947**, P=0.000). Areas under the ROC curve for MT4-MMP and MT6-MMP were 0.82 and 0.96, respectively. At the cutoff value>4.7 (ng/mL), MT4-MMP and MT6-MMP showed a sensitivity of 63.3% and 90.0%, respectively, with 100% specificity. Conclusion: Our work has led us to imply that the higher levels of MT4-MMP and MT6-MMP are closely linked with both PTC and MNG tumorigenesis. They may probably promote the development of thyroid lesions; however, more research is needed to further clarify the current findings.

Authors: Mohammadjani Navid , Karimi Sahand , Moetasam Zorab Musa , Ashengroph Morahem , Alavi Mehran
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Nanoparticles (NPs) are of great interest in the design of various drugs due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, which result from their unique physicochemical properties. Because of the importance of examining the interactions between newly designed particles with different targets in the case of various diseases, techniques for examining the interactions between these particles with different targets, many of which are proteins, are now very common. Methods: In this study, the interactions between metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) covered with a carbon layer (Ag2O3, CdO, CuO, Fe2O3, FeO, MgO, MnO, and ZnO NPs) and standard drugs related to the targets of Cancer and bacterial infections were investigated using the molecular docking technique with AutoDock 4.2.6 software tool. Finally, the PRO TOX-II online tool was used to compare the toxicity (LD50) and molecular weight of these MONPs to standard drugs. Results: According to the data obtained from the semi flexible molecular docking process, MgO and Fe2O3 NPs performed better than standard drugs in several cases. MONPs typically have a lower 50% lethal dose (LD50) and a higher molecular weight than standard drugs. MONPs have shown a minor difference in binding energy for different targets in three diseases, which probably can be attributed to the specific physicochemical and pharmacophoric properties of MONPs. Conclusion: The toxicity of MONPs is one of the major challenges in the development of drugs based on them. According to the results of these molecular docking studies, MgO and Fe2O3 NPs had the highest efficiency among the investigated MONPs.

Authors: Shekari Farhad , Mohammadpoorasl Asghar , Nadrian Haidar , Asghari Jafarabadi Mohammad , Akbari Hossein
Published: October 2023

Background and aims: Usually non-daily smokers do not consider themselves smokers, and they are at a higher level of health risks due to smoking compared to non-smokers. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of non-daily smoking (NDS) and its associated factors among university students. Methods: This cross-sectional web-based study was performed in Tabriz, Iran. A proportional random sample of 3666 students from all universities of Tabriz were recruited from July to August, 2019, and an online questionnaire was used to collect data. Predictors of NDS were investigated using a multiple logistic regression model. Results: A total of 15.7% and 7.8% of the students were daily and NDSs, respectively. Compared to the non-smokers, the NDSs were more likely to exhibit high-risk behaviors such as substance abuse (odd ratio [OR]=2.96; 95% CI: 2.12-4.13), alcohol drinking (OR=2.54; 95% CI: 1.78-3.62), hookah smoking experience (OR=9.30; 95% CI: 6.06-14.25), and regular hookah use (OR=24.22; 95% CI: 14.86-39.46). Compared to daily smokers, NDSs were more likely to be female gender (OR=0.16; 95% CI: 0.10-0.24), denial of being a smoker (OR=11.69; 95% CI: 6.86-19.91), not addicted to nicotine (OR=10.02; 95% CI: 4.21-23.85), and less likely to have an intention for quitting in recent months (OR=2.27; 95% CI: 1.28-4.04). Conclusion: Non-daily smokers do not consider themselves smokers and have no intention to quit smoking. They are more prone to present high-risk health behaviors. Health policymakers should pay more attention to NDSs while planning smoking cessation programs.

Authors: Bagherian Sajad , Ghasempoor Khodayar , Baker Julien S.
Published: October 2023

Background and aims: Current lifestyles, with the growing use of contemporary technologies, have resulted in changes in people’s behavior, causing them to become increasingly sedentary and develop unhealthy body habits. Posture is an essential variable determining an individual’s physical and emotional well-being. The purpose of this study was to investigate postural habits and any related joint and muscle pain among school-aged students. Methods: An online questionnaire was utilized to measure participants’ postural habits and related joint and muscle pain. The questionnaire was completed by 43660 school-aged students (15532 boys and 28128 girls in the age range of 8-17 years) by a non-randomized convenient sampling method through Google Forms via social media on the schools’ platform in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Iran, in the middle of 2022. The questionnaire inquired about body postural patterns and any associated joint or muscle pain. Results: The majority of participants (77%) reported spending most of their time in the sitting position. Overall, 57% of the students reported that they did not maintain the correct posture during their daily activities. The majority of respondents (54%) reported feeling some joint or muscle pain. The greatest pain was reported in the neck (28%), upper back (14%), and lower back (13%). Conclusion: The findings indicated that schools and the medical profession may need to screen students for health risks such as poor postural status. Further, information related to bad posture should be provided to children, their families, and healthcare professionals to take care of them.

Authors: Naderi Beni Mohsen , Sharifi Mansour , Kord Zanganeh Jafar
Published: October 2023

Background and aims: The fertility trend in Isfahan, as in other parts of the country, has decreased significantly in recent years. This study aimed to investigate the parity progression ratio (PPR) and factors affecting fertility. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that was conducted using a researcher-made questionnaire. Moreover, the study method was a survey, and the sample size included 662 married women aged 15 to 49 years. The study also employed a multi-stage cluster sampling method. Results: The results revealed that the cumulative fertility rate ((CFR=1.5) has decreased in Isfahan. There was also a significant relationship between the number of children with abortion (P=0.001), education (P=0.000), and employment of women (P=0.02). The results of multivariate regression with the control of women’s job type also indicated that the variables of the age of marriage and literacy of women (r=0.355, P<0.05) in householders, age of marriage (r=0.286, P=0.00) in unemployed, and literacy of women (r=0.336, P=0.016) in employed women have the highest explanation in childbearing. Conclusion: To increase fertility and childbearing, more attention should be paid to economic issues, inflation reduction, and employment rise so that we can witness an increase in marriage, followed by childbearing to the level of succession. The best way to maintain the level of substitution is the full and comprehensive implementation of population policies and the implementation of adaptive policies appropriate to the level of fertility.

Authors: Sasanipour Mohammad , Mohebi Meymandi Mahyar
Published: October 2023

Background and aims: The lack of reliable data on mortality in Iran until the last few decades has caused the early stages of the epidemiological transition to remain unknown. As such, the current study was an attempt to examine the stages and timing of the epidemiological transition in Iran in a historical effort. Methods: This study is descriptive-analytical, and its data and information have been collected using the library method. Results: The historical course of the emergence of epidemics in Iran after Islam to before the Islamic Revolution is divided into four periods: (1) The period after Islam to the Safavid period (650-1501 AD): The era of plague and famine, (2) Safavid to Qajar period (1501-1796 AD): The era of continued widespread outbreaks and intermittent occurrence of plague, (3) Qajar period (1796-1925 AD): The era of subsidence of the plague and widespread cholera, and finally (4) Pahlavi period (1925-1979 AD): The era of the decline of epidemic diseases. Conclusion: The continuous and substantial reduction in deaths led simultaneously to a reduction in the incidence and scope of epidemics and an increase in chronic diseases, and this process is expected to accelerate in the future.

Published: October 2023

Background: After the difficulty of the pandemic process, managing the long-term effects that may occur after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is among the biggest concerns in the present era. This study aimed to explore factors affecting the physical activity level and investigate the relationship between physical activity level and stress perception of university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: Study data were collected via online survey, and volunteer participants completed the survey through the survey link between October 21 and December 31, 2021. Physical activity level was evaluated by "The International Physical Activity Questionnaire- Short Form" (IPAQ-SF), and stress level was evaluated by "Perceived Stress Scale" (PSS). The participants were asked questions about barriers and motivators for physical activity before and during the pandemic. Results: The study included 444 participants (81.3% female and 18.7% male) with an average age of 21±2.95 years. The results showed a negative-significant linear relationship between perceived stress score and total physical activity, vigorous-intensity physical activity, and walking scores (r=-0.157, P<0.01; r=-0.16, P<0.01; r=-0.13, P<0.05 respectively). During the pandemic, the perception of insufficient finance became less important as a barrier (P=0.029), and healthcare professional (HCP) recommendation became more important as a motivator for physical activity than the pre-pandemic conditions (P=0.035). Conclusion: The findings indicated that it is possible to reduce the level of perceived stress by increasing the level of physical activity. Current research will be a key for increasing and maintaining physical activity and reducing perceived stress.

Background: Intentional injuries, including self-harm, suicide, conflict, and interpersonal violence are a significant public health concern in Iran, but they have not been adequately documented. This study aimed to investigate intentional injuries in cases admitted to Sina Hospital in Tehran, Iran, affiliated with the National Trauma Registry of Iran. Study Design: A retrospective cohort study. Methods: A registry-based study on the characteristics of 852 intentional injury cases was conducted from 2016 to 2023. Information on various aspects, including baseline characteristics, injury characteristics, and injury outcomes was compared between groups of self-harm/suicide, conflict/interpersonal violence, and others (abuse and legal prosecution). Results: Of 6,692 registered trauma cases, 852 (12.7%) had intentional injuries. Men accounted for 92 (77.3%) self-harm/suicide and 650 (96.4%) conflict/interpersonal violence cases (P<0.001). Self-harm/ suicide mostly occurred at home in 89 (74.8%) cases, while 73 (10.8%) conflict/interpersonal violence cases happened at home (P<0.001). Falls were the cause of trauma in 12 (10.1%) self-harm/suicide cases compared to 7 (1.0%) conflict/interpersonal violence cases (P<0.001). Furthermore, blunt trauma was the cause of trauma in one (0.8%) case of self-harm/suicide and 66 (9.8%) conflict/interpersonal violence cases (P<0.001). Moreover, 14 (11.8%) self-harm/suicide and 34 (5.0%) conflict/interpersonal violence cases required ventilation (P=0.010). Additionally, 74 (8.7%) intentional injury cases had multiple traumas, which were seen in nine (7.6%) self-harm/suicide and 58 (8.6%) conflict/interpersonal violence cases (P<0.001). Conclusion: Men were the majority of self-harm/suicide and conflict/interpersonal violence cases. Self-harm/suicide incidents mostly occurred at home and resulted in more injuries from falls, while conflict/ interpersonal violence resulted in increased blunt traumas and multiple traumas.

Bişkek Protokolü Ermenistan ve Azerbaycan arasında devam eden Dağlık Karabağ savaşına geçici olarak son vermek amacıyla 12 Mayıs 1994’de Bişkek’te imzalanmıştır. Fakat günümüze kadar hukuki açıdan tartışılmaktadır. Çünkü Protokole Ermenistan ve Azerbaycan’ın yanı sıra sözde “Dağlık Karabağ” yönetimi de dâhil edilmiştir. Çalışmamızda üzerinden 20 yıl geçmesine rağmen akademik açıdan üzerinde pek fazla durulmayan ve resmi yönetim tarafından da belli siyasi ortam gerekçesi ile dile getirilmeyen Bişkek Protokolü’nün antlaşmalar hukuku bağlamında geçersiz olduğu ve yapıldığı andan itibaren hiçbir hukuki sonuç doğurmadığı görüşü savunulacaktır. Savunma, “Uluslararası sözleşmeler yalnız Uluslararası Hukukun süjeleri arasında yapılabilir” ve “Uluslararası sözleşmeler tarafların serbest irade beyanına dayanmalıdır” normları üzerinden yapılacaktır.

Correspondence of B. V. Asafyev and S. S. Prokofiev in the Collection of Columbia University
Authors: Савкина Н.П.
Published: October 2023

В статье впервые опубликованы все ранее не издававшиеся письма Б. В. Асафьева С. С. Прокофьеву и несколько писем Прокофьева Асафьеву 1925–1935 годов, хранящиеся в Архиве Сергея Прокофьева Колумбийского университета (Нью-Йорк). Представленные документальные источники содержат новые сведения о круге интересов и деятельности оте­чест­венного ученого, композитора и му­зыкаль­ного писателя Б. В. Асафьева. Выясняются ранее неизвестные жизненные обстоятельства, в непривычном свете предстают факторы творческие. Асафьев в своих письмах пишет о крупнейших музыкантах и деятелях искусства XX века. Документы обновляют существую­щие знания об истории проигранной борьбы за постановку в Ленинграде прокофьевского «Игрока»; о битвах за подлинного «Бориса Годунова»; о плодо­творной, давшей множество впечатле­ний поездке Асафьева в Европу в 1928 году. Один из сюжетов корреспонденции — книга о Прокофьеве, которую Асафьев планировал написать. За полями этой переписки угадываются трагические перипетии советской истории и жестокой политической цензуры в СССР. Глубокие музыкантские наблюдения сопровождают реакцию ученого на новые произведения Прокофьева.

This material contains the introductory article and the first publication of all previously unpublished letters from Boris Asafyev to Sergey Prokofiev and several letters from Prokofiev to Asafyev dated 1925–1935. These letters are kept in The Serge Prokofiev Archive at Columbia University, New York. These docu­mentary sources provide updated information about the range of interests and activities of Boris Asa­fyev—a Russian scholar, composer, writer and mu­sic critic. Previously unknown life circumstances are investi­gated, and creative aspects are rendered in a new light. In his letters, Asafyev writes about the most significant musicians and artists of the 20th century. These documents reveal new information about the lost battle for the staging of Prokofiev’s “The Gambler” in Leningrad, the struggle for authentic “Boris Godunov,” and Asafyev’s productive and insightful trip to Europe. One of the correspondence topics is a book about Prokofiev, which Asafyev was planning to write. Tragic twists and turns of Soviet history and severe political censorship in the USSR can be read between the lines of these letters. The scholar’s response to Prokofiev’s new works intertwines with the profound observations of a professional
Performance Theory of Music
Authors: Медушевский В.В.
Published: October 2023

Автор предлагает свой взгляд на теорию музыки, отмечая ее теснейшую связь с исполнительской практикой. Поднимаются вопросы о том, как воспитать чуткий слух музыканта-исполнителя, опираясь на тонкости гармонического анализа; раскрываются оригинальные понятия синергии и вероя­тия. Автор подчеркивает особую роль цезуры как важнейшего элемента музыкальной ткани, ее отличия от эмфатического акцента, глубинно связанного с гармонией. В статье выдвигаются критерии онтологизма в му­зыкальном произведении, а также в его интерпретации исполнителем.

The author offers his own view on the theory of music and its closest connection with performing practice. Questions are raised about how to cultivate a sensitive ear of a performing musician, based on the subtleties of harmonic analysis, and original concepts of synergy and probability are revealed. The author emphasizes the unique role of caesura as an essential element of music, its difference from the emphatic accent, which is deeply connected with harmony. The article proposes criteria for ontologism in a piece of music and its interpretation by the performer.
A DIALÉTICA SOCIEDADE-NATUREZA NAS TRANS-FORMAÇÕES DA PAISAGEM: CONSERVAÇÃO E USO DOS BUTIAZAIS NO LITORAL DE SANTA CATARINA, BRASIL
Authors: Gandolfo Elisa Serena , Antunes Douglas Ladik , Garcez Carmen
Published: October 2023

O Butia catarinensis é uma espécie de palmeira (família Arecaceae) endêmica e ameaçada de extinção, que se distribui de forma heterogênea formando butiazais, considerados ecossistemas diferenciados onde ocorre predominância de espécies do gênero Butia. Com base nos pressupostos teóricos da formação socioespacial e da ecologia histórica, este artigo tem como objetivo resgatar elementos da formação do município de Imbituba, com enfoque nas relações estabelecidas entre o modo de vida das sociedades ali existentes em distintos momentos históricos e os butiazais, buscando compreender a presença da espécie na atualidade como resultado das dinâmicas de ocupação do território. A partir de um levantamento bibliográfico e documental, e da realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas, pode-se concluir que o butiá tem historicamente um grande significado cultural e econômico para as comunidades locais, principalmente associado às atividades agrícolas, além de cumprir importante papel do ponto de vista ecológico. Em virtude desses aspectos, tornam-se cruciais os esforços de conservação da espécie, que devem considerar a dimensão das práticas associadas como indissociáveis de sua presença no território.

Prototîpên Ciwaniyê di Estetîka Şi'ra Melayê Cizîrî de
Authors: EMİNOĞLU Nevzat
Published: October 2023

Estetîk wek mijareke helbesta klasîk, di dirêjahiya sedsalên çerxa navîn de edîb û şair li ser sekinîne. Qada bingehîn a estetîkê husn û cemal e, yanî ciwanî ye. Edebiyatnasan li dor vê babetê nêrîn û hestên xwe anîne ziman. Ev babet ji hêla gelek şairên çerxa navîn ve li ser unsûrên muşterek û bi heman awayî di helbestê de hatiye honandin. Melayê Cizîrî jî yek ji wan şairê Kurd yê serdema klasîk e ku babeta estetîkê û prototîpên ciwaniyê di helbestên xwe de bikaraniye. Ew ciwaniya ku bi şêwazeke standart ve tê ziman, bi saya vegotinên alegorîk û pirwate ya her helbestvanekî ve rewş û rehendeke xweser wergirtiye. Şair û edîb ciwaniyê bi gelemperî li ser prototîpên wê yên herî têkûz vedibêjin. Ev prototîpên ciwaniyê jî objeyên dîtbarî yan jî ferdên xwedî ciwaniya destanwarî ne. Her çiqas di edebiyata klasîk de û her wiha di poetîkaya helbesta Melayê Cizîrî de ev mijareke bingehîn be jî heta niha xebatên bi rêk û pêk li ser vê qadê nehatine kirin. Lewma me hêvî ew e ku ev xebat di vê babetê de bibite sedem û destpêka lêkolînên nû ji bo tijîkirin û birsivdana valahiya vê hêlê. Armanca vê rmanca xebata me ew e ku em di ronahiya helbestên Melayê Cizîrî de li hizra wî ya estetîk binihêrin û prototîpên ciwaniyê ku wî ji bo ciwaniyê bikaranîne, lêbikolin. Di vê çarçoveyê de ev xebat ji destpêkakê û sê beşan pêk tê. Piştî çarçoveya teorik ya di destpêkê de, me hewl da ku em di bin sê sernavan de li ser hizra estetîk a Cizîrî bisekinin, bikaranîna wî ya prototîpan binirxînin û cureyên wan bisenifînin.

Authors: Sirenko Boris I.
Published: October 2023

A revision of Black Sea chitons of the genus Lepidochitona has been conducted. The revision revealed new features of intrageneric similarity and differences of Black Sea species as well as with Mediterranean species. Species similarity of Black Sea and Mediterranean representatives of Lepidochitona cinerea is confirmed. A new species L. bondarevi sp. nov. is described. Previously its specimens were attributed erroneously to L. caprearum. The new species differs from L. caprearum in having a less broad head valve, shorter apophyses, a much longer postmucronal area on the tail valve, 7–8 longitudinal grooves around the upper half of dorsal girdle spicules and smooth dorsal girdle needles.
