Increasing tree cover on cereal farms in England: the role of farmer’s values
Authors:   Forest Research, van der Wielen Grace , Pearson Maddy ,   Forest Research, McConnachie Stephen ,   Forest Research
Published: December 2024

This Research Report explores the issues that matter to cereal farmers in England in relation to trees and tree cover on their farms. Looking beyond just financial considerations, this report explore which factors guide and shape farmer attitudes to and behaviours regarding trees and tree cover. If we can learn what farmers value in relation to trees, we can better understand how, when, and where farmers may embrace having trees on their land. This means those working to design policies, incentives, tools, advice, or other communications in this area can do so in ways which are more likely to succeed in delivering tree cover expansion on farms.

In our latest report with the TODO group, we tackled the research question: why are Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) valuable from a business perspective? This qualitative study takes the reader through different value propositions that OSPO champions can use to connect OSPOs to business objectives, as well as the challenges to expect on an OSPO's journey.

The report weaves in perspectives from OSPO leaders around the world and from various industries on what makes an OSPO valuable, how they measure that value, and how they expect their program to evolve with their organization. Whether forming an OSPO for the first time or working with an established program, readers will come away with tools to communicate, measure, and navigate the different value propositions of the OSPO.
Global Spotlight 2023: Survey-based Insights into the Global Landscape of Open Source Trends, Sustainability Challenges, and Growth Opportunities
Authors: Lawson Adrienn , Hendrick Stephen
Published: December 2024

Earlier this year, Linux Foundation Research launched a worldwide survey on open source trends. The findings of this survey were segmented and analyzed to produce our Europe Spotlight 2023 report. Following this report, we looked at the entire survey results, and produced our Global Spotlight analysis for this year.

This report covers a wide range of opportunities and concerns related to open source around the world, with insights collected from the global survey launched earlier this year. This report incorporates a regional comparison of open source adoption, contribution, value propositions, and sustainability. Findings indicate that across regions, open source’s use is widespread and value is well understood, but there is still opportunity to increase contributions and the presence of OSPOs. Comparing across regions, Europe ranked highest in use and contribution as well as government adoption, while Asia-Pacific ranked lowest in these categories.

Authors: Wosniak Cristiane , Margueritte Matheus dos Anjos
Published: December 2024

Este artigo investiga possíveis práticas artístico-pedagógicas da dança Heels em academias de dança, como enunciação de discursos de corpos dissidentes relacionados a questões de identidade de gênero. Diante do aumento de espaços não-formais de ensino dessa dança no Brasil, faz-se necessário atualizar metodologias de ensino vigentes nesses contextos a partir da constatação de que o público das aulas de Heels é composto majoritariamente por corpos marginalizados e invisibilizados pela sociedade, como mulheres e comunidade LGBTQIA+. Nossa pesquisa fundamenta-se nos estudos em Educação Performativa e intenta ampliar os conhecimentos sobre Heels e incentivar processos formativos em dança que sejam mais inclusivos.
MEU CORPO PODE SER UM TEXTO?
Authors: Nascimento Vinícius
Published: December 2024

Neste artigo discuto, a partir de um diálogo entre a perspectiva bakhtiniana e autores dos estudos da racialidade, como a raça, como signo ideológico, opera de forma constitutiva no tripé existencial eu-para-mim, eu-para-outro e outro-para-mim de homens negros que são intérpretes de Libras. Para tanto, adoto a metodologia das cenas narrativas proposta por Luz (2011) e analiso duas situações de racismo vivenciadas por intérpretes negros. Nas cenas analisadas, a raça operou como signo ideológico de coisificação do corpo negro e de esvaziamento da identidade profissional levando os intérpretes ao discurso da autodefesa de seus lugares sociais como trabalhadores da interpretação.

Published: December 2024

Исследованы характеристики барьерного газового разряда в гелии при атмосферном давлении при возбуждении импульсами с фронтами нарастания напряжения 2.5-10 нс и частотой следования импульсов 5-100 кГц. В объемном режиме получен импульсный ток до 80 А с пиковой мощностью до 1.5 МВт и удельной мощностью до 250 Вт/см3. Увеличение крутизны импульсов возбуждения незначительно влияет на величину тока разряда, но позволяет сохранить объемный характер протекания тока до более высоких рабочих напряжений. Показано, что максимальный ток разряда ограничивается накоплением заряда на поверхности диэлектрика и, тем самым, увеличением её плавающего потенциала, что приводит к уменьшению разности потенциала относительно квазинейтральной плазмы. Показано, что увеличение разрядного промежутка и увеличение напряжения вызывает переход от однородного объемного протекания тока к шнурованию.

Efficacy of intravesical gemcitabine instillation compared with intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
Authors: Kim Dong Ha , Kim Taek Sang , Kang Su Hwan , Kim Seong Bin
Published: December 2024

Background: Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) instillation is the most effective treatment for reducing intravesical recurrence in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). However, due to the recent global shortage of BCG, there is an increasing need for alternative treatments. This study aimed to retrospectively compare the outcomes of patients treated with intravesical gemcitabine instillation and BCG instillation as initial treatment options for NMIBC.Methods: Seventy-eight patients with NMIBC who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumors between January 2022 and September 2023 were reviewed. Of these, 42 patients received intravesical gemcitabine instillation, and 36 patients received BCG instillation. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was analyzed, along with tumor multiplicity, grade, T stage, size, and bladder storage time after instillation, which could influence RFS.Results: The mean follow-up period was 18.7 months for the gemcitabine group and 20.6 months for the BCG group. Recurrence occurred in 46.15% of patients (52.38% in the gemcitabine group and 38.92% in the BCG group). Tumor characteristics, including multiplicity, grade, stage, and size, were not significantly different between the two groups. The mean RFS was 15.92 months in the gemcitabine group and 19.84 months in the BCG group, with no statistically significant difference (p=0.397). However, gemcitabine instillation caused more severe bladder irritation, with shorter bladder storage time.Conclusions: Intravesical gemcitabine and BCG instillation yielded comparable RFS outcomes. However, gemcitabine led to more severe bladder irritation, highlighting the need for further studies to optimize its application.

Published: December 2024

En esta investigación se caracteriza el funcionamiento pragmático de los gestos ilustradores manuales, en concreto, de pictogramas, marcadores espaciales y marcadores temporales, empleados en narraciones conversacionales de hablantes chilenos, y se describe su relación con factores sociales sexo y nivel educacional de los hablantes. Para ello, se analiza una muestra de 54 narraciones conversacionales videograbadas. Los resultados del estudio apuntan a que los pictogramas presentan una frecuencia de empleo muy superior en comparación a los otros tipos de ilustradores que aquí han sido analizados, pero que, en su conjunto, este tipo de gestos suele estar relacionado con la reportabilidad del relato y, en buena parte de los casos, con la evaluación de las historias. Además, los ilustradores estudiados se coestructuran con elementos verbales que también aportan al desarrollo narrativo. Los gestos ilustradores identificados se registran mayoritariamente en narraciones conversacionales producidas entre hombres de los niveles educacionales medio y universitario

The streamer propagation and electric field distribution in a two-dimensional fluid model of a packed bed reactor (PBR) filled with carbon dioxide are comprehensively studied by utilizing the PASSKEy simulation platform in this work. The spatiotemporal evolution of electron density, electric fields and key plasma species in the discharge process are studied in depth. The PBR with layered dielectric spheres is simulated by using the model, indicating that the inner sides of the first layer and the second layer of dielectric spheres are not the main regions for reactions such as CO2 dissociation; instead, the main regions are along the streamer propagation path and the outer side of the first layer of dielectric sphere. In this work, the propagation of streamers in an electric field is investigated, highlighting the influence of anode voltage rise and dielectric polarization on local electric field enhancement. This enhancement leads the electron density and temperature to increase, which facilitats streamer propagation and the formation of filamentary microdischarges and surface ionization waves. This work provides a detailed analysis of the local electric field evolution at specific points within the PBR, and a further investigation of the spatiotemporal dynamics of spatial and surface charges, revealing that negative charges concentrate in the streamer and on the dielectric surface, with density being significantly higher than that of positive charges. The positive charge distribution is closely related to the streamer path, and with time going by, the charge distribution becomes dominated in the discharge space. This work also explores the surface charge deposition on the dielectric spheres, and discusses the evolution trend of the distribution. Additionally, this work discusses the temporal and spatial evolution of key plasma species, including ions and radicals, and their contributions to the overall discharge characteristics. The production mechanisms of carbon monoxide particles, carbon dioxide ions, and oxygen ions are analyzed, with a focus on their spatial distribution and correlation with electron density. Finally, the energy deposition within the PBR is examined by integrating the spatial energy deposition of electrons and major positive ions. The results indicate a total energy deposition value of approximately 1.428 mJ/m, with carbon dioxide ions accounting for 8.8% of this value.

The Drosophila hematopoietic niche assembles through collective cell migration controlled by neighbor tissues and Slit-Robo signaling
Authors: Nelson Kara A , Lenhart Kari F , Anllo Lauren , DiNardo Stephen
Published: December 2024

Niches are often found in specific positions in tissues relative to the stem cells they support. Consistency of niche position suggests that placement is important for niche function. However, the complexity of most niches has precluded a thorough understanding of how their proper placement is established. To address this, we investigated the formation of a genetically tractable niche, the
Drosophila
Posterior Signaling Center (PSC), the assembly of which had not been previously explored. This niche controls hematopoietic progenitors of the lymph gland (LG). PSC cells were previously shown to be specified laterally in the embryo, but ultimately reside dorsally, at the LG posterior. Here, using live-imaging, we show that PSC cells migrate as a tight collective and associate with multiple tissues during their trajectory to the LG posterior. We find that Slit emanating from two extrinsic sources, visceral mesoderm and cardioblasts, is required for the PSC to remain a collective, and for its attachment to cardioblasts during migration. Without proper Slit-Robo signaling, PSC cells disperse, form aberrant contacts, and ultimately fail to reach their stereotypical position near progenitors. Our work characterizes a novel example of niche formation and identifies an extrinsic signaling relay that controls precise niche positioning.
Cell type-specific network analysis in Diversity Outbred mice identifies genes potentially responsible for human bone mineral density GWAS associations
Authors: Dillard Luke J , Calabrese Gina M , Mesner Larry D , Farber Charles R
Published: December 2024

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified many sources of genetic variation associated with bone mineral density (BMD), a clinical predictor of fracture risk and osteoporosis. Aside from the identification of causal genes, other difficult challenges to informing GWAS include characterizing the roles of predicted causal genes in disease and providing additional functional context, such as the cell type predictions or biological pathways in which causal genes operate. Leveraging single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) can assist in informing BMD GWAS by linking disease-associated variants to genes and providing a cell type context for which these causal genes drive disease. Here, we use large-scale scRNA-seq data from bone marrow–derived stromal cells cultured under osteogenic conditions (BMSC-OBs) from Diversity Outbred (DO) mice to generate cell type-specific networks and contextualize BMD GWAS-implicated genes. Using trajectories inferred from the scRNA-seq data, we identify networks enriched with genes that exhibit the most dynamic changes in expression across trajectories. We discover 21 network driver genes, which are likely to be causal for human BMD GWAS associations that colocalize with expression/splicing quantitative trait loci (eQTL/sQTL). These driver genes, including
Fgfrl1
and
Tpx2,
along with their associated networks, are predicted to be novel regulators of BMD via their roles in the differentiation of mesenchymal lineage cells. In this work, we showcase the use of single-cell transcriptomics from mouse bone-relevant cells to inform human BMD GWAS and prioritize genetic targets with potential causal roles in the development of osteoporosis.

Pancreatic K
ATP
channel trafficking defects underlie congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) cases unresponsive to the K
ATP
channel opener diazoxide, the mainstay medical therapy for CHI. Current clinically used K
ATP
channel inhibitors have been shown to act as pharmacochaperones and restore surface expression of trafficking mutants; however, their therapeutic utility for K
ATP
trafficking impaired CHI is hindered by high-affinity binding, which limits functional recovery of rescued channels. Recent structural studies of K
ATP
channels employing cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) have revealed a promiscuous pocket where several known K
ATP
pharmacochaperones bind. The structural knowledge provides a framework for discovering K
ATP
channel pharmacochaperones with desired reversible inhibitory effects to permit functional recovery of rescued channels. Using an AI-based virtual screening technology AtomNet® followed by functional validation, we identified a novel compound, termed Aekatperone, which exhibits chaperoning effects on K
ATP
channel trafficking mutations. Aekatperone reversibly inhibits K
ATP
channel activity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC
50
) ~ 9 μM. Mutant channels rescued to the cell surface by Aekatperone showed functional recovery upon washout of the compound. CryoEM structure of K
ATP
bound to Aekatperone revealed distinct binding features compared to known high affinity inhibitor pharmacochaperones. Our findings unveil a K
ATP
pharmacochaperone enabling functional recovery of rescued channels as a promising therapeutic for CHI caused by K
ATP
trafficking defects.

Published: December 2024

Aims: The lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) is a species of legume rich in protein and minerals, particularly potassium, phosphorus, calcium and iron. However, this legume is not widely consumed because it is considered a poor man's protein and its consumption leads to digestion problems due to its high content of anti-nutritional factors. The aim of this study is therefore to add value to Phaseolus lunatus by improving its nutritional and antioxidant quality through controlled fermentation with Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051 in order to make it a food ingredient.
Study Design: Phaseolus lunatus seed flour was fermented with Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051 for 24, 48 and 72 hours under controlled conditions.

Assessing the impact of geomorphological processes on a catchment's hydrology necessitates a quantitative analysis of its geometry. This can be effectively achieved using remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS), which have become increasingly popular for supporting strategists and decision-makers in making precise and efficient plans and decisions. A morphometric analysis of the Venna River basin was conducted using RS and geographic information systems GIS. This study aims to assist local communities in effectively utilizing land and water resources for the sustainable development of the basin area. The drainage network was developed by digitizing Survey of India (SOI) toposheets. The Venna River basin, covering an area of 318.96 km², exhibits a dendritic drainage pattern with a 5thorder river system dominated by lower-order streams. A mean bifurcation ratio of 6.02 indicates undulating topography with structural influences on drainage. The basin's elongated shape is reflected in its circulatory ratio (0.3) and elongation ratio (0.38), while a form factor of 0.12 suggests low peak flows over extended durations. Low drainage density value of 0.6, indicates that basin has high permeability, slow surface runoff and value of constant of channel maintenance of 1.66 indicates basin has moderate slopes and effective infiltration. The relief ranges from 619 m to 1380 m, with a relief ratio of 0.015, indicating less resistant rock types. A ruggedness number of 0.46 suggests moderately rough terrain, allowing for some erosion potential while highlighting the basin's capacity for water retention, infiltration and sustainable resource management. The areal parameters, such as the form factor, circulatory ratio, elongation ratio and drainage density, suggest elongated basin geometry with high drainage intensity, implying slower runoff and moderate potential for groundwater recharge. The results of this study are valuable for effective watershed management, erosion control, and informed decision-making in land use planning and engineering projects.

The aim of this study was to determine the combined effect of different substrates and time of application of nutrient at different concentration on growth parameters of Romaine long (green) lettuce. The experiment was conducted in semi-controlled naturally ventilated polyhouse for two years (2021-2022 and 2022-2023) during Rabi season at Department of Horticulture, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani (MH). The research was laid in a Factorial Completely Randomized Design, which is replicated twice with three factors i.e.  Factor A) consisted different substrates (S) (S1: cocopeat, S2: cocopeat + perlite (1:1 v/v), S3: cocopeat + perlite (2:1 v/v) and S0: soil), Factor B) levels of nutrient concentration (F) (F1: 100%, F2: 80% and F3: 60%) and Factor C) application time interval (I) (I1: one day interval, I2: three days interval and I3: six days interval). The nursery raising of lettuce was done under greenhouse in pro-trays and seedling are ready for transplanting one month after sowing. The result revealed that combined application of treatment T6 [S2F1I2] i.e. Cocopeat + Perlite (1:1) + 100% + Three days interval recorded maximum plant height (28.24 cm) and number of inner leaves (18.50) whereas maximum number of outer leaves per plant (5.35) was recorded in the treatment combination of T1 [S1F1I1] i.e.  Cocopeat + 100% + One day interval and T5 [S1F1I2] i.e. Cocopeat + 100% + Three days interval in pooled mean data at harvest. Further, the highest leaf area was (105.84 cm2) was observed in the treatment combination of T33 [S1F3I3] i.e. Cocopeat + 60% + Six days interval. The obtained result showed clear difference of lettuce growing under different substrates and time of application of nutrient at different concentration on growth parameters.

The study investigated biogas production from control, pre-treated and blended waste samples, while also examining the interaction effects of ambient temperature (AT), slurry temperature (ST), and pH on the biogas volume generated from the waste samples. Experimental research design was adopted for the study. Nine biodigesters of 32L capacity labelled A-I, control (A-C), pre-treated (D-F) and blended (G-I) waste samples were used for the experiment. The digestion was carried out for a period of 35 days using the water displacement method in a laboratory scale bio-digester system. Data analysis was carried out using Excel, SPSS and STATA softwares. The methods used included descriptive statistics, multiple regression and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The pH and temperature readings for 35 days ranged from (6.5-8.4), AT (20-290C), ST (23-380C). Based on the study's results, there was a significant difference in the volume of biogas generated among the waste samples (F=6.4, SS=659.379, p=0.002, df=314). Specifically, significant differences were observed between the control and pre-treated samples (p=0.01) and between the control and blended samples (p=0.036). The effects of AT and ST (P=0.03) on the volume of biogas were not significant when analyzed individually; however, an interaction effect between AT and ST on biogas yield was observed. Also, pH, influenced the gas production significantly (F=3.954, p=0.021) likely due to its influence on microbial and enzymatic activity. The interaction effect showed that both temperature and pH had a combined effect on volume of biogas produced (p=0.003). These results underscore the importance of temperature and pH control in optimizing biogas production. Improved understanding of these factors could enhance anaerobic digestion processes, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting resource efficiency and supporting circular economy principles.

Published: December 2024

Medicinal plants have been integral to traditional medicine for centuries, offering natural and cost-effective solutions for various ailments. The bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, and glycosides, exhibit diverse biological activities, that include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anticancer properties. These compounds play a vital role in neutralizing free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and maintaining cellular health. Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy), a climber from the Menispermaceae family, is revered in Ayurveda as "Amrita" or the "root of immortality." Known for its immunomodulatory and therapeutic properties, it has been traditionally used to treat conditions like fever, inflammation, respiratory disorders, and metabolic diseases. This study evaluates the antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects of a 50% hydromethanolic extract of Tinospora cordifolia stems (TCE) using chicken lymphocytes. The antioxidant activity of TCE was assessed through various in vitro assays and the Maximum Non-Cytotoxic Dose (MNCD) was determined using the MTT assay. Immunomodulatory effects were evaluated via the Lymphocyte Proliferation Assay (LPA) and the antioxidant status of TCE-treated lymphocytes was analyzed using cell-based assays. Results showed that TCE exhibited significant antioxidant activity and enhanced B and T cell proliferation in mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes. B cell proliferation increased by 18.997% following LPS stimulation, while T cell proliferation rose by 15.554% and 13.857% in response to PHA and Con A stimulation, respectively. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of Tinospora cordifolia, which can be attributed to its rich phytochemical composition and robust biological activities. The study validates its traditional uses and supports its application in developing nutraceuticals and functional foods. Future research should focus on identifying bioactive compounds, elucidating underlying mechanisms and conducting clinical studies to optimize its utilization in modern healthcare systems.
Technical Economic Optimization Analysis for Cost-Effective Process of CNC Laser Machine G-Weike LC6090 Using Simplex Lattice – Centroid and Full Costing Methods
Authors: Tjahyono Rudi
Published: December 2024

This research focuses on the technical economic optimization of the CNC CO2 laser machine G-Weike type LC6090 for engraving acrylic material. Because there is no ideal tabulation that serves as a guide for the operator in setting machine parameters, one of the issues in operating the machine is that the engraving process for acrylic materials is still traditionally done through estimation or approximation. Indeed, this affects process inconsistency, leading to resource waste and machine operations due to defects. Since defective process results cannot be fixed or recycled, the cost of raw materials and machining will inevitably be incurred. This study emphasizes the principle of effectiveness in optimizing the laser machine-level settings for the engraving process using the Simplex Lattice-Centroid approach to generate a tabulation of optimal settings. With a speed variable level setting of 55,556 mm/s, a power of 50%, and an interval of 0.083782, the ideal results value at processing time is 1.240184, depth is 0.054967, and roughness is 0.012728. The scan speed variable strongly correlates with optimization of depth, roughness, and processing time. The scan interval variable has a moderate correlation with depth, and the power variable has a moderate correlation with processing time and roughness. The best cost efficacy in the process was then ascertained by measuring cost-effectiveness using the Full Costing method. The cost-effective results are IDR 46,778.08 per hour or IDR 13,472,087.04 annually. Using cost-effective measurements can produce a Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of the CNC laser machine value of IDR 134,720,870.4 per 10-year service lifetime.
