One of the efforts to improve general welfare is the development of electricity supply. Law Number 30 of 2009 concerning Electricity which has been amended through Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation which has been stipulated through Law Number 6 of 2023 is a reference in the mechanism for implementing the provision of electricity in the public interest, wrong the other concerns the rights and obligations in carrying out the business of providing electricity. Electricity service providers have the right to enter public or private places and use them temporarily, this norm creates a potential conflict of interest with someone's ownership of land. Erecting electricity poles on freehold land without the knowledge of the land rights holder can cause many legal and social problems. The method used in this research is normative legal research which is used to solve research problems by elaborating written law with literature studies that focus on legal theories and positive law that apply in Indonesia. The results of this research show that to obtain legal protection for the erection of electricity poles on freehold land, compensation or compensation is provided to land rights holders. So this research will outline several provisions regarding the procedures that should be carried out by electricity service providers in using private land to erect electricity poles for public purposes.

La collaboration interprofessionnelle comme enjeu de la qualité des services en santé mentale : le cas des travailleuses sociales et des médecins psychiatres
Authors: Khoury Emmanuelle , Dorvil Henri
Published: February 2025

Depuis le premier Plan d’action en santé mentale au Québec (MSSS, 2005), le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux privilégie des soins collaboratifs, un modèle de plus en plus souvent adopté dans les provinces canadiennes depuis 2011 (Kates et al., 2023). Bien que la collaboration interprofessionnelle soit reconnue comme un moyen de fournir des soins de qualité (McNeil et al., 2013) et de protéger le bien-être des patients, peu de recherches explorent la dynamique entre le travail social et le traitement médical en santé mentale. Quelles possibilités de collaboration existent entre ces professions? Comment leurs expertises en évaluation, planification et prise de décision partagée peuvent-elles améliorer les résultats et la qualité des soins? Cet article discute des stratégies susceptibles de contribuer à co-construire des territoires partagés entre ces professions. Nous soutenons que pour y parvenir, il est essentiel de remettre en question les rapports de pouvoir entre les groupes professionnels, d’encourager la créativité et de reconnaître les différents savoirs professionnels.
Une évaluation pour soutenir l’enseignement et les apprentissages de l’oral : le dispositif SEMO
Authors: Sales-Hitier Dorothée , Dupont Pascal
Published: February 2025

Notre recherche porte sur la place donnée à l’évaluation de l’oral dans le dispositif d’enseignement SEMO au cycle 3 (élèves âgés de 9 à 11 ans). Nous interrogeons la possibilité de répondre à la double contrainte à laquelle sont soumis les enseignants lorsqu’ils évaluent : tenir compte des compétences des prescrits et aussi des progrès d’apprentissage des élèves. Après avoir présenté le dispositif qui articule programmes et apprentissages des élèves, nous rendrons compte de son opérationnalité et de la place de l’évaluation pour soutenir l’enseignement de l’oral et les apprentissages des élèves à partir d’entretiens avec cinq enseignants qui ont mis en oeuvre ces séquences.
L’exil mouvant comme patrie : les migrations savantes de Pierre Dansereau entre l’Europe et l’Amérique (1936-1968)1
Authors: Poitras Daniel
Published: February 2025

Cet article étudie les pérégrinations et le rapport à l’exil de l’écologiste Pierre Dansereau, l’un des acteurs les plus actifs, mais les moins connus du champ d’études des migrations savantes au Québec. À la fois « retour d’Europe » et « retour d’Amérique », Dansereau possédait tous les atouts et les privilèges pour incarner le chercheur migrant idéal. Son habileté à susciter des appartenances temporaires et non contraignantes allait de pair avec son extraordinaire activité comme passeur scientifique et culturel. Nous montrons que si ceux que l’on nomme les « retours d’Amérique » adoptent une approche plus pragmatique ou carriériste que les « retours d’Europe », certains n’en ont pas moins vécu une expérience renversante sur place et éprouvante à leur retour. Les réenracinements au Québec ont été, de fait, difficiles pour Dansereau après des années passées dans des universités, européennes mais surtout américaines, dont la diversité culturelle et l’envergure scientifique contrastaient avec celles des universités québécoises. La trajectoire de Dansereau, dont l’expérience exilique s’est manifestée en fonction de ses ambitions scientifiques, de ses ancrages institutionnels et de l’évolution sociopolitique du Québec, invite à nuancer la polarité entre les retours « paisibles » d’Amérique et ceux beaucoup plus « tourmentés » d’Europe. Elle éclaire également le cas de ces contemporains qui, au lieu de répondre à l’appel de l’apostolat de la compétence des années 1960, ont vécu la Révolution tranquille à distance.
La construction institutionnelle des niches par l’État incubateur : l’échec de la diversification maricole au Québec maritime (1995-2020)
Authors: Police Antoine , Fournis Yann
Published: February 2025

Au Québec, la diversification économique constitue un enjeu majeur pour les régions ressources caractérisées historiquement par un mode d’exploitation extractiviste et exportateur. À partir d’une approche relevant du néo institutionnalisme sociologique, cet article interroge le rôle des pouvoirs publics et des politiques publiques dans le processus d’institutionnalisation des niches productives émergentes. Deux facteurs importants de la stabilisation institutionnelle des niches sont analysés : d’abord, le travail institutionnel d’articulation entre un paysage extractiviste, des régimes de politique publique sectoriels et territoriaux, et des niches productives émergentes ; ensuite les processus de problématisation et d’instrumentation de la niche déployés par les acteurs. Ces propositions sont opérationnalisées par une étude de cas portant sur la mariculture québécoise, une niche productive émergente dans les régions maritimes québécoise au milieu des années 1990. Après s’être fortement cristallisée durant la décennie 2000, cette niche entre dans une période de stagnation à partir de 2010. L’analyse de ces trois périodes met en évidence le rôle des acteurs régionaux, professionnels et étatiques, mais aussi du contexte des politiques publiques dans l’émergence et l’arrimage de la niche à l’économie politique d’une région ressource. Cet article pointe le rôle majeur joué par l’État dans la stabilisation de la niche.
Toujours plus : les aspirations pour l’avenir des jeunes mères en situation de vulnérabilité
Authors: Dumont Annie , Couvrette Amélie , Paquette Geneviève
Published: February 2025

Les aspirations face à l’avenir que les jeunes mères en situation de vulnérabilité développent au tournant de l’âge adulte sont susceptibles d’être teintées par leur vécu, ainsi que par leur maternité. À partir d’une approche narrative, l’étude se penche sur les aspirations envers l’avenir de 20 jeunes mères dans toutes les sphères de leur vie, permettant ainsi d’avoir une meilleure vue d’ensemble de leur vécu et de comment ces aspirations peuvent devenir des sources d’espoir pour elles. Âgées de 18 à 26 ans, elles ont été recrutées au sein d’organismes d’aide s’adressant spécifiquement aux femmes présentant des difficultés d’adaptation psychosociales et vivant dans des conditions socio-économiques précaires. Les entretiens semi-dirigés réalisés auprès d’elles ont permis de faire ressortir leur souhait d’être de bonnes mères, cette aspiration s’appuyant sur leurs désirs d’avoir plus de stabilité, de pouvoir bénéficier de biens matériels et de relations positives et de ressentir un plus grand bien-être. Elles souhaitent également redonner à leur entourage et pouvoir être utiles à la société. On constate ainsi les niveaux élevés d’exigences qu’elles souhaitent atteindre en tant que mères, malgré les opportunités restreintes, entre autres dues aux contextes dans lesquels elles évoluent. Ces résultats dénotent aussi l’importance d’ajouter, dans les services qui leur sont offerts, une attention particulière à leurs aspirations pour le futur.
Peace Education and Its Discontents: An Evaluation of Youth, Violence, and School-based Peace Programs in Northern Uganda
Authors: Webster Jayanni
Published: February 2025

This research paper discusses current efforts and programs designed to address the issues of peace and conflict resolution, post-war recovery and education in northern Uganda. Through the collection of stories of life after war, I examine the experiences of children and youth and pilot peace education programs in secondary and primary schools. Northern Uganda was the site of a brutal civil war waged between the rebel group, the Lord’s Resistance Army, and the government’s Uganda People’s Defense Force. The war resulted in the mass abduction of children and the forced displacement of the northern population into internally displaced persons’ camps. Although active combat ended in a 2006 cease-fire, there are still challenges and lessons to be learned that could aid in understanding the conditions that give rise to violent uprisings and movements and in turn mitigate those conditions for a healthier society. In addition, a decade of displacement has birthed various tensions between the youth and adults in the face of changing customs and the return of abducted children. The young people of northern Uganda occupy a unique position in their communities given the role they played in the war, their potential part in reconstruction process, and their national calling as “the pillars of tomorrow’s Uganda.” The government and international organizations, recognizing a need to remedy factors that could lead to a relapse into conflict, developed peace education programs with the goal of creating a “culture of peace” in the region. My fieldwork focuses on two such programs and this paper explores early attempts and outcomes to implementing these programs in schools. With conceptual issues surrounding peace education philosophy, practice and policy, I argue that these programs encourage, rather, a “culture of complacency” in the face of a harsh economic and sociopolitical reality for Ugandan children and youth.
Deutschland Unsere Mutter, Columbia Our Bride: German-America in the Progressive Era
Authors: Holmes Taylor
Published: February 2025

In many histories of American involvement in the First World War, the anti-German hysteria that exploded in the United States is often trivially attributed to the reality that America had declared war on Germany and the consequent propaganda the war effort generated. This, however, overlooks the significant presence of anti-German sentiment prior both to the outbreak of the First World War and American entry into the war. Precedent to and coincident with U.S. military intervention in Europe was the domestic cultural struggle between an ascendant and dominantly Anglo-American Progressive ideology and a cultural pluralism that German-American ethnic pride embodied. The First World War provoked these latent tensions into active violence. Through the use of secondary sources, this study analyzes the underlying motivations of anti-German prejudice and the driving ideologies behind Anglo-American cultural chauvinists and German-American ethnic pride. The waning of German ethnic institutions in America is likewise examined, as is the growth and decline of the National German-American Alliance. This study is not only a contribution to the relatively small amount of research completed on the history of German-American communities, but is also an addition to the histories of the Progressive Era as it analyzes the goal of Progressive ideology to produce conformity to a homogeneous “American” culture and its resulting manifestations of racism and prejudice.
Indeterminism in Kane’s Event-Causal Libertarianism
Authors: Nowell Robert
Published: February 2025

In this paper, I examine the plausibility of event-causal libertarianism, a prominent view on free will which regards indeterminism in the causal history of a decision as necessary for an agent’s moral responsibility for a subsequent action. Specifically, I investigate how Robert Kane’s event-causal libertarian account fares in light of Derk Pereboom’s powerful “disappearing agent” objection, in addition to criticisms of my own. Kane concludes that Pereboom’s objection is ineffective against his account. I argue against Kane’s conclusion by highlighting a dilemma which results from Kane's response to the disappearing agent objection; either way Kane’s position is interpreted, his account is unsuccessful.
Vehicle Multi-Pass Rut Volume and Mobility Power Study
Authors: Barbour William
Published: February 2025

This paper presents the relationship between applied power by a wheeled vehicle to soil and the rutting effects. Specifically, a strong positive relationship was found between cumulative applied power and total rut volume across multiple passes by the vehicle over the same tracks. Field-testing was conducted using a high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV) and two distinct soil types. Sensors on the vehicle measured torque and angular velocity of each of the four wheels, from which applied power was calculated. A rut profile meter was used to document the shape of the rut after set numbers of passes and this profile was used to calculate rut volume. These results are useful for determining vehicle mobility power requirements based on soil rutting during multi-pass operation.
Calculated vs. Experimental Values for Volume and Surface Resistivity in Various Polymer Compounds
Authors: Webster Megan
Published: February 2025

Versatile due to their resistance to high stress environments including but not limited to extreme temperature, pressure, and stress, polymers additionally have many uses in electrical applications wherein antistatic or conductive properties are preferential, i.e. conductive seals, oil pipeline spheres, and gaskets, to name a few. Being a complex material, many factors may affect the electrical resistivity of a given polymer compound including type and amount of carbon black, type of rubber, cure time and temperature, and dispersion, amongst other factors. External conditions such as relative humidity and temperature also play key roles. This paper will analyze five different rubber compounds by examining the difference between experimental and calculated volume and surface resistivity in both high and low humidity conditions.
The Globalization of Social Movements: Exploring the transnational paradigm through collection action against neoliberalism from Latin America to the Occupy movement
Authors: McKane Rachel
Published: February 2025

The main thrust of this paper is that social movement theories, which have traditionally conceived of the various aspects of social movements through the lens of the nation-state, would do well to further adopt and integrate a transnational paradigm. The paper examines anti-neoliberal social movements, and the case of the Occupy movement in particular as an illustration that we cannot make sense of the emergence, actors, strategies, tactics, or goals of social movements without incorporating the context and salience of transnationalism in today’s global landscape. The paper attempts to justify the above thesis by demonstrating the nuanced linkages, similarities, and dissimilarities between the collective actions across Latin America (the Landless Workers’ Movement in Brazil and the Zapatista Movement in Mexico), the Global Justice Movement, and the Occupy movement. The hopeful novelty presented in this paper is that an intricate analysis of the Occupy movement makes clearer than ever before the significance of transnationalism in understanding contemporary social movements. It is through the specifics of the Occupy movement, which are given particular emphasis, that we can further refine the proper role of transnationalism in social movement theory. The movements assessed in this paper, connected by grievances brought on by neoliberal globalization, can be conceived as part of a web of spatiotemporal relations. However, movements may still be very nationalistic and dependent on culture. It is important to recognize transnational aspects when analyzing social movements, but also make distinctions between and within various movements.

Criminalization of Community-based Ecotourism (CBET) in Indonesia: The Cases of Pari Island, Kepulauan Seribu
Authors:   Universitas Indonesia, Vocational Program, Shanty Janthi Dharma , Priambodo Bono Budi ,   Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research
Published: February 2025

Several residents of Pari Island in Thousand Islands, Jakarta, Indonesia, in separate cases, were arrested, detained, tried, and declared guilty of extortion with violence and land grabbing. Allegedly, these cases are related to the ongoing tenurial conflicts between the islanders and PT. Bumi Pari Asri, which claim legal ownership of 90% of the land on the Island and intends to develop upscale tourism resorts there. In fact, Pari islanders, with their own initiatives and funds, have developed, operated, and managed tourism attractions and facilities on their islands.
Employing a socio-legal approach by examining how legal and policy stipulations are implemented in their socialcultural and political-economic contexts, this article seeks to investigate, examine, and assess the potential impacts of the criminal indictments to the practices of community-based ecotourism (CBET) in Pari Island, to determine whether they constitute criminalization to the practices. It is discovered from the examination that Indonesian legal and policy frameworks in fact encourage and protect (CBET), and that the practices of the Pari islanders are indeed a perfect example of CBET as advocated by the frameworks, while the criminal cases are fundamentally criminalization to the practices that potentially discourage CBET not only in Pari Island but also
throughout Indonesia.
Axon-specific microtubule regulation drives asymmetric regeneration of sensory neuron axons

Sensory dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons have a unique pseudo-unipolar morphology in which a stem axon bifurcates into a peripheral and a central axon, with different regenerative abilities. Whereas peripheral DRG axons regenerate, central axons are unable to regrow. Central axon regeneration can however be elicited by a prior conditioning lesion to the peripheral axon. How DRG axon asymmetry is established remains unknown. Here we developed a rodent in vitro system replicating DRG pseudo-unipolarization and asymmetric axon regeneration. Using this model, we observed that from early development, central DRG axons have a higher density of growing microtubules. This asymmetry was also present in vivo and was abolished by a conditioning lesion that decreased microtubule polymerization of central DRG axons. An axon-specific microtubule-associated protein (MAP) signature, including the severases spastin and katanin and the microtubule regulators CRMP5 and tau, was found and shown to adapt upon conditioning lesion. Supporting its significance, interfering with the DRG MAP signature either in vitro or in vivo readily abolished central-peripheral asymmetries in microtubule dynamics and regenerative ability. In summary, our data unveil that axon-specific microtubule regulation drives asymmetric regeneration of sensory neuron axons.

Forming new memories after a one-time experience requires initial encoding then consolidation over time. During learning, multimodal information converges onto the hippocampus, activating sparse neuronal assemblies which are thought to form a memory representation through concerted activity and synaptic interconnectivity. In this work, we use a novel tool for fast-labeling of engram neurons (FLEN). FLEN is based on c-Fos activity-dependent transient expression of a destabilized fluorescent marker ZsGreen1 rapidly after one-trial learning. With FLEN, we explore the electrophysiological properties of c-Fos activated CA3 pyramidal neurons a few hours following one-trial learning of an episodic-like memory. In parallel, we employ the Robust Activity Marker (RAM) system, which provides activity-dependent labelling 24 hours following a novel experience. Comparing FLEN+ and RAM+ neurons allows to characterize how the properties of neuronal assemblies evolve during an initial phase of consolidation. Whereas no difference was observed in the excitability of FLEN+ vs. FLEN-neurons, RAM+ neurons were more excitable than RAM-neurons. This suggests that CA3 pyramidal neurons recruited in an engram progressively acquire increased excitability as compared to neurons which were not activated by the one-trial contextual memory task. In contrast, FLEN+ CA3 neurons show an increased number of excitatory inputs. Overall, with the FLEN strategy, we can show that both the intrinsic excitability and the synaptic properties of CA3 pyramidal neurons undergo progressive plastic changes over the first day following a one-trial memory task.
Heron: A Knowledge Graph editor for intuitive implementation of python based experimental pipelines
Authors: Dimitriadis George , Svahn Ella , MacAskill Andrew , Akrami Athena
Published: February 2025

To realise a research project idea, an experimenter faces a series of conflicting design and implementation considerations, regarding both its hardware and software components. For instance, the ease of implementation, in time and expertise, should be balanced against the ease of future reconfigurability and number of ‘black box’ components. Other, often conflicting, considerations include the level of documentation and ease of reproducibility, resource availability as well as access to online communities. To alleviate this balancing act between opposing requirements we present Heron, a new Python-based platform to construct and run experimental and data analysis pipelines. Heron’s main principle is to allow researchers to design and implement the experimental flow as close as possible to their mental schemata of the experiment, in the form of a Knowledge Graph. Heron is designed to increase the implementation speed of experiments (and their subsequent updates), while minimising the number of incorporated black box components. It enhances the readability and reproducibility of the final implementation and allows the use of combinations of hardware and software otherwise impossible or too costly to achieve. Given this, Heron offers itself to sciences whose needs involve experiments with a large number of interconnected hardware and software components like robotics, neuroscience, behavioural sciences, physics, chemistry, environmental science, etc.. It is designed with those experimentalists in mind which: i) Demand full control of their setup. ii) Prefer not to have to choose between hardware and software that run only on a specific chip/operating system combination. iii) Appreciate the ease and speed that high-level languages (e.g. Python) and Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) offer them. It assumes an intermediate knowledge of the Python language and ecosystem, offering a flexible and powerful way to construct experimental setups. It removes any inaccessible corners, yet keeps implementation costs significantly reduced compared to using lower level languages. Finally, its use results in a much cleaner and easier to understand code base, amicable to documentation and reproducibility efforts.
DNA methylome regulates virulence and metabolism in Pseudomonas syringae

Published: February 2025

Bacterial pathogens employ epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, to adapt to environmental changes, and these mechanisms play important roles in various biological processes. Pseudomonas syringae is a model phytopathogenic bacterium, but its methylome is less well known than that of other species. In this study, we conducted single-molecule real-time sequencing to profile the DNA methylation landscape in three model pathovars of P. syringae. We identified one Type I restriction–modification system (HsdMSR), including the conserved sequence motif associated with N6-methyladenine (6mA). About 25–40% of the genes involved in DNA methylation were conserved in two or more of the strains, revealing the functional conservation of methylation in P. syringae. Subsequent transcriptomic analysis highlighted the involvement of HsdMSR in virulent and metabolic pathways, including the Type III secretion system, biofilm formation, and translational efficiency. The regulatory effect of HsdMSR on transcription was dependent on both strands being fully 6mA methylated. Overall, this work illustrated the methylation profile in P. syringae and the critical involvement of DNA methylation in regulating virulence and metabolism. Thus, this work contributes to a deeper understanding of epigenetic transcriptional control in P. syringae and related bacteria.

O turismo tem sido considerado um meio de diversificação da economia rural. As suas sinergias e inter-relações com outros sectores tornam-no num instrumento de desenvolvimento, através da geração de renda, estímulo aos investimentos nas comunidades e dinamização de actividades económicas tradicionais locais. O objectivo do presente estudo é de analisar se as políticas públicas de Moçambique colocam o turismo como um pilar estratégico do desenvolvimento rural. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, conduzida através da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. O estudo concluiu que em Moçambique: (i) não existem políticas e estratégias específicas de desenvolvimento do turismo rural; (ii) as estratégias de desenvolvimento negligenciam o papel do turismo no desenvolvimento rural; (iii) os indicadores de desenvolvimento do sector de turismo não têm metas específicas para o turismo rural; e (v) os planos de desenvolvimento do turismo não contemplam medidas específicas para mitigar os impactos socio-ambientais do turismo nas zonas rurais..
Cinética da fermentação semissólida em função de diferentes concentrações de leveduras (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) adicionadas ao resíduo agroindustrial de maracujá pós-ensilado
Authors: Ferro José Harlisson de Araujo , Lemos Eurico Eduardo Pinto de , Pereira Kedes Paulo , Peiter Amanda Santana
Published: February 2025

A produção de maracujá no Brasil é a maior do mundo, com o Nordeste respondendo por cerca de 70% do total. A casca do maracujá, que compõe a maior parte do fruto, é geralmente descartada, embora tenha valor nutricional para a alimentação de ruminantes. Devido à sua rápida deterioração por microrganismos, é importante estudar seu armazenamento e uso em dietas, especialmente em períodos de escassez de forragem. Este estudo avaliou o crescimento de leveduras em fermentação semissólida (FSS) utilizando o resíduo do maracujá, que foi ensilado por 60 dias. O resíduo, proveniente da produção de polpas de frutas da AGRICOM LTDA, foi compactado em silos. Utilizou-se um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com quatro concentrações de leveduras (0, 2, 4 e 6% de Saccharomyces cerevisiae) e quatro intervalos de FSS (0, 24, 48 e 72 horas), realizando-se amostragens para análise de crescimento de leveduras, sólidos solúveis e umidade. Os resultados mostraram efeitos significativos no crescimento de leveduras em função das concentrações e do tempo de FSS.

Harnessing Edaphic Microalgae for Soil Carbon Sequestration and Climate-smart Agriculture
Authors: Swami Sanjay , Lallawmkimi Michelle C. , Singh Vikas , Yadav Kamlesh Kumar , Alagendran S. , Koushal Sanjay , Lairenjam Guneshori
Published: February 2025

Edaphic microalgae are emerging as critical components in climate-smart agriculture due to their multifaceted roles in enhancing soil health, sequestering carbon, and improving agricultural sustainability. These microorganisms, including cyanobacteria, green algae, and diatoms, fix atmospheric carbon through photosynthesis and contribute to the formation of soil organic matter (SOM) by releasing biomass and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Their ability to enhance soil aggregation, improve nutrient cycling, and stabilize carbon makes them essential in mitigating climate change. Advances in microalgal cultivation techniques, such as photobioreactors and biofilm-based systems, have improved their scalability, while omics technologies provide insights into their genetic and metabolic pathways, enabling bioengineering for enhanced functionality. Field studies demonstrate significant benefits, including increases in soil organic carbon by 15–30% and crop yield improvements of up to 20% when microalgae are applied as biofertilizers. Challenges such as environmental limitations, competition with other soil microorganisms, and high production costs hinder their widespread adoption. Future lie in exploring diverse microalgal species, developing cost-effective cultivation systems, and integrating microalgae into multifunctional agricultural systems like agroforestry and aquaponics. Policy support, including financial incentives and standardized regulations, will be instrumental in fostering adoption. Remote sensing and modelling tools further enhance the feasibility of large-scale applications, enabling precise monitoring of microalgal activity and contributions to soil carbon dynamics. Despite current limitations, the potential of edaphic microalgae to revolutionize sustainable agriculture is immense, offering scalable solutions to global challenges such as soil degradation, climate change, and food insecurity. With continued research, innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration, edaphic microalgae could serve as a cornerstone for achieving resilience and sustainability in agriculture, aligning with global climate action goals and fostering long-term environmental and economic benefits.

Published: February 2025

Background and Objective: Blood transfusions are crucial medical procedures that can save lives. The release of stress hormones in the course of blood donation varies according to the characteristics of the donor and may render red cells vulnerable to haemolysis. This 24-month experimental study assessed the variation in donor characteristics on stress hormones release pattern and its influence on blood quality.
Materials and Methods: Serum levels of cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, were measured and association analysis with haemolytic markers (Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDH-A), free plasma haemoglobin, osmotic fragility test) assessed in 252 whole blood donors. Beside osmotic fragility that employed Dacie’s method, these markers were evaluated with Melsin ELISA tests techniques.
Results: Variation in donor characteristics affected catecholamines (adrenaline and noradrenaline) levels but not cortisol. Adrenaline values were predominant in male (p = 0.012), replacement donors (p = 0.009) and donors exceeding 10 minutes bleed duration (p = 0.02). Still, differences were observed with noradrenaline levels in replacement (p = 0.004), first time (p = 0.03), the non-counselled (p = 0.03) and donors with no knowledge of blood donation (p = 0.02). Significant associations were observed between stress hormones and haemolytic markers. Adrenaline influenced LDH-A (p = <0.001), free plasma haemoglobin (p = <0.001), and red cell osmotic fragility test (p = 0.05). Similar trends were observed in cortisol with plasma hemoglobin (p = <0.001) and LDH-A (p = 0.03), while noradrenaline affected plasma hemoglobin (p = <0.001).
Conclusion: Variation in donor characteristics caused fluctuation on adrenaline, noradrenaline but not with cortisol. Stress hormones predisposed red cell to haemolysis hence, low quality blood product. These may have detrimental implications on donor safety and inefficient transfusion outcome.

An underappreciated legume with significant nutritional and agricultural potential, especially in tropical areas, is the winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC.). The presence of anti-nutritional chemicals, extended maturation times, and unpredictable growth habits prevent its widespread cultivation despite its high protein content, nitrogen-fixing capacity, and adaptability to a variety of agro-ecological conditions. Using Mahalanobis D2 analysis, this study attempts to evaluate the genetic divergence and grouping patterns across forty genotypes of winged beans. Over the course of two consecutive Kharif seasons (2022–2024), the experiment was carried out at the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding's Experimental Farm, SASRD, Medziphema, Nagaland. Sixteen agronomic characteristics were assessed using a randomised block design with three replications. Tocher's approach was used to divide the genotypes into five clusters. Cluster I had the most genotypes (33), while Cluster IV and V had just one and two genotypes, respectively. With inter-cluster distances ranging from 10.8 to 42.24, significant genetic diversity was evident. The characteristics that contributed most to genetic divergence were tuber weight, tuber diameter, and days to first flowering. The findings demonstrate how hybridisation between distinct parental genotypes from various clusters may lead to genetic improvement. Breeding efforts may be improved and the use of winged bean germplasm as a sustainable food source can be encouraged by increasing studies on its genetic diversity. With the goal of raising production potential and improving the economic viability of this nutrient-dense legume, this study offers insightful information for future crop modification techniques.

Insect pollinators play a pivotal role in global crop production and ecosystem stability. This review emphasizes the diverse contributions of pollinators, focusing particularly on hymenopteran pollinators which helps in increasing crop yields and enhancing crop quality. The economic importance of pollination services is explored, highlighting their substantial contribution to global food production and economic value. Besides honey bees, which are known for their extensive foraging behaviour and exceptional pollination efficiency, the role of wild pollinators like bumblebees, stingless bees, and various solitary bees are also examined, highlighting their complementary role in agricultural systems. The decline in bee populations due to habitat loss and pesticide use underscores the urgent need for sustainable pollinator management practices. This review brings attention to the necessity of conserving both managed and wild pollinators to ensure ongoing agricultural productivity and food security.

Natural bentonite from Pacitan - Indonesia as a support in the preparation of Ti and Zr-pillared metal catalysts (Ti-Zr/bent) for esterification reaction were studied. The preparation of Ti-Zr/bent catalyst was prepared to find out the effect of molar ratios (Ti:Zr) where an investigation was performed in the esterification of waste cooking oil. The catalyst was varied as follows: 0.5:1 (Ti-Zr-1/bent), 1:1 (Ti-Zr-2/bent), 1.5:1 (Ti-Zr-3/bent), 2:1 (Ti-Zr-4/bent), and 5:1 (Ti-Zr-5/bent) were used to determine the yield. The reaction was carried out for 3 hours at 150°C and a pressure of 40 bar N2 gasses. The result of the Ti-Zr/bent catalyst was given increasing significantly for surface area of 133–147 m²/g compares to bentonite 27 m²/g and 10 times of acidity. The best catalyst was shown in 2:1 of ratio Ti:Zr (molar) on esterification reaction with succesfuly performed about 80.40% of yield. Copyright © 2025 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.

Leaders who have loudly criticized a harm reduction‐dominated approach that most agree has exacerbated problems around street drug use and homelessness in San Francisco are visibly enthusiastic about the impact new city leadership could have in the coming months. They are expressing hope that a more problem‐solving and less ideologically driven approach to the city's drug crisis that newly elected Mayor Daniel Lurie and a new Board of Supervisors are likely to embrace will strike a more effective balance between promoting public health and demanding individual accountability.

In neuroscience research and clinical practice, electrophysiology is used to record and stimulate specific parts of the brain with high temporal resolution. This capability can be augmented by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which provides anatomical and functional information about the brain with large spatial coverage. However, metallic electrodes, commonly used in electrophysiology, are fundamentally incompatible with MRI due to heating concerns and imaging artefacts. Here, it is demonstrated that flexible micro‐electrocorticography (µECoG) arrays, with electrodes made of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), are compatible with ultra‐high magnetic field MRI up to 9.4 T. A scalable fabrication process is adopted that results in very repeatable electrochemical properties across devices. The volumetric capacitance of PEDOT:PSS leads to low electrode impedance and enables high‐resolution neural recordings of single‐unit activity from the cortical surface of rodents. Furthermore, the µECoG array creates minimal distortion in T2‐weighted anatomical brain MRI. Multimodal brain monitoring is demonstrated by performing simultaneous blood oxygen level‐dependent functional MRI (BOLD fMRI) in parallel with electrical stimulation from the µECoG array. The results show that the PEDOT:PSS µECoG arrays enable the combination of high‐resolution electrophysiology and advanced brain imaging in vivo.

Promoting the sulfur reduction reaction (SRR) and sulfur evolution reaction (SER) kinetics is crucial for practical lithium–sulfur batteries. However, the electrode will be passivated by insulated Li2S if blindly accelerated the SRR kinetics, meanwhile, the high activation energy of Li2S will lead to premature the oxidation of Li2S (SER), achieving limited catalyst. Here, a nano‐nickel nitrogen‐doped carbon gel material (CG/Ni) induces the instantaneous nucleation, further endows Li2S fast ion/electron transfer, resulting porous 3D growth instead single lateral growth. Therefore, CG/Ni material avoids being passivated, accelerating the SRR kinetics. Meanwhile, CG/Ni decreases the delithiation barrier, thus, facilitating the Li2S dissociation. Both experiments and theory calculation prove that CG/Ni achieves efficient bidirectional catalysis. Consequently, CG/Ni cathode delivers a low‐capacity decay ratio of 0.047% per cycle for 900 cycles at 5 C. This work unlocks a bidirectional catalyst and provide new insight for high‐efficiency lithium–sulfur batteries.

Uncontrollable haemorrhage and associated microbial contamination in the battlefield and civilian injuries pose a tremendous threat to healthcare professionals. Such traumatic wounds often necessitate an effective point‐of‐care solution to prevent the consequent morbidity owing to blood loss or haemorrhage. However, developing superior hemostatic materials with anti‐infective properties remains a challenge. To address this, an injectable, cationic dextran‐mesoporous silica nanoparticle‐based bactericidal hemostatic sponge (BACSTAT) has been developed. A dual crosslinking approach is adopted through in situ covalent cross‐linking through photo polymerization and silica nanoparticle‐induced non‐covalent interactions. This interconnected macroporous BACSTAT sponge has superior fluid absorption properties and fluid‐induced rapid shape recovery of the sponge helps to seal the irregularly shaped wound. Furthermore, this sponge can stimulate a coagulation cascade for rapid blood clotting in mice femoral vein incision and liver puncture model. The optimum sponge exhibited potent antibacterial activity against wide‐spectrum Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative pathogens. Notably, it is completely biocompatible with mammalian cells and mice skin. Significantly, this sponge reduces Pseudomonas aeruginosa burden >99% in mice subcutaneous infection model with substantially lessening inflammatory responses in infected tissues. Collectively, the optimized sponge bears immense potential to be developed as point‐of‐care solution for military and civilian traumatic injury.
