Published: August 2023

Prematurely erupted teeth are rare in fullterm neonates and extremely rare in prematurely delivered infants. The aim of this study was to present macroscopic and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations of prematurely erupted primary teeth of preterm very low birthweight (VLBW) and extremely low birthweight (ELBW) infants. Three preterm VLBW and ELBW infants with prematurely erupted lower incisors were examined. The dental examination assessed the type, location, clinical appearance, and degree of mobility of the prematurely erupted teeth. The structural appearance of enamel and dentin of three extracted and longitudinally sectioned prematurely erupted teeth was investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Lower incisors were rootless with hypermobility. The surface of enamel of the prematurely erupted primary teeth was hypoplastic and hypomineralized and had a typical “honeycomb” appearance in SEM. The aprismatic type of enamel was visible in some regions. The neonatal line separating the layer of prenatal enamel from postnatal enamel was observed. The enamel prisms were interconnected by interprismatic substances, and cross-striations of prisms were visible. Dentin presented a typical tubular character. The dentinal layer near the enamel dentin junction had Y-shaped branching of dentinal tubules. On the pulpal side, dentin had a globular character. The macroscopic and SEM investigations particularly revealed alterations in enamel, while the dentin of neonatal teeth had a nearly normal appearance.

Authors: Kovalčíková Alexandra Gaál , Ivašková N. , Hodosy J. , Podracká Ľ. , Celec P. , Tóthová Ľ.
Published: August 2023

Salivary urea is studied as a non-invasive alternative for screening and monitoring of renal diseases. Its high variability prevents a wider clinical use. Animal experiments are needed to identify factors affecting this marker. The aim of this study was to describe the inter-individual variability of salivary urea in healthy mice, establish reference intervals, and analyse the effects of sex, age and body weight. Plasma and saliva samples were obtained from 37 male and 41 female healthy adult CD1 mice aged 13–69 weeks (body weight 22–51 g). The reference interval for salivary urea in heathy mice based on our results is 2.7–8.4 mmol/l (CV = 23 %). Multivariate analysis did not show any significant effect of age, sex, or body weight. In addition, salivary urea did not correlate with its plasma concentrations. The high variability of the promising salivary marker of kidney function in healthy mice requires further research before its use to diagnose or monitor renal failure in animal models of kidney diseases. Other potential confounders should be analysed, including intra-individual and pre-analytical variability. In addition, a normalization factor such as total salivary proteins or salivation rate is likely needed.
Exploring anticancer activity of the Indonesian guava leaf (Psidium guajavaL.) fraction on various human cancer cell lines in anin vitrocell-based approach
Authors: Prakoso Nurcahyo Iman , Nita Mila Tria
Published: August 2023

Breast and cervical cancers are the leading cause of death in women, and chemotherapy with cytotoxins is the usual treatment. This study evaluated the cytotoxicity of guava leaf (Psidium guajavaL.) extracts as an alternative chemotherapeutic drug. Although many studies related to the cytotoxic effects of guava leaf (Psidium guajavaL.) on cancer cells have been reported, the effects of guava leaf fractions on human breast and cervical cancer cells (T47D, MCF-7, and HeLa) have never been evaluated. Herein, we researched candidate activities of ethanol, ethyl acetate, andn-extracts from guava leaf fractions and their effect on various human cancer cell lines (T47D, MCF-7, and HeLa cells). The cytotoxicity test was carried out using the microtetrazolium assay for all fractions. We confirmed and showed thein vitroantitumor activity of guava leaf (Psidium guajavaL.) fractions in human breast and cervical cancer cells. We found that the effectiveness of anticancer activity increased from ethanol to ethyl acetate ton-hexane fraction. This work underlines the potential ofn-hexane fraction as a chemotherapeutic drug. These novel results have important implications for further isolation, identification, and characterization ofPsidium guajavaL.-based anti-cancer extracts.

Qua-Objects, (Non-)Derivative Properties and the Consistency of Hylomorphism
Authors: Campdelacreu Marta , Oms Sergi
Published: August 2023

Imagine a sculptor who molds a lump of clay to create a statue. Hylomorphism claims that the statue and the lump of clay are two different colocated objects that have different forms, even though they share the same matter. Recently, there has been some discussion on the requirements of consistency for hylomorphist theories. In this paper, we focus on an argument presented by Maegan Fairchild, according to which a minimal version of hylomorphism is inconsistent. We argue that the argument is unsound or, at best, it just points to a well-known problem for hylmorphist theories. Additionally, we explore some general consequences of this fact.

National Identity in Media Discourses from Russia and Ukraine: Amid the 2022 Russo-Ukrainian War
Authors: Xu Bangjun , Tao Yuan
Published: August 2023

This paper, based on the corpus of the news from TASS and UKRINFORM between February 24 and March 5, 2022, investigates different concerns of the two media platforms regarding conflict discourses, and analyzes their different naming strategies of social actors from the perspective of critical discourse analysis (CDA). It is found that Russian and Ukrainian media attempted to construct different national identities for each other through distinct discourse strategies. The Russian TASS named Ukraine a security threat while including Donbas as Russia’s in-group member. It also utilized out-group discourse strategies to exclude western countries, such as the United States, from its friend circle. The Ukrainian media discourse from UKRINFORM, however, grouped Ukraine itself together with western countries allied with the United States while stigmatizing Russia and excluding the Donbas region. The current research shows that the politically driven principle is commonly used in the media discourses from TASS and UKRINFORM as the representative national media of the two countries.
Rendition of σώφρων and σωφροσύνη in Ukrainian translations of the New Testament
Authors: Levko Oleksandr
Published: August 2023

The article focuses on the rendition of the key words of the Christian ethical vocabulary σώφρων and σωφροσύνη in Ukrainian translations of the New Testament in comparison with other East Slavic translations in synchronic and diachronic dimensions. The σώφρων word group covers a range of “intellectual” and “moral” meanings in Ancient Greek, which continue to evolve in Hellenistic Greek to denote ‘soundness of mind’, ‘prudence’, ‘discretion’, ‘good sense’, on the one hand, and ‘moderation’, ‘self-control’, ‘temperance’, ‘restraint’, ‘decency’, ‘modesty’, on the other. Retaining such polysemy in the New Testament, the σώφρων word group also displays various connotations depending on gender, age and social status. The Old Slavonic and Church Slavonic calques of the σώφρων word group mostly accentuate its “moral” meanings, especially the meanings of ‘chastity’ and ‘purity’, which evolve in Christian ascetic literature after the New Testament, although in some cases they retain their primary “intellectual” meanings.

The article also explores the use of semantic equivalents of the σώφρων word group in Old Ukrainian, Old Russian and Old Belarusian based on corpora data and historical written monuments. We came to the conclusion that Ukrainian biblical translations of the 19th to early 21st century, as well as some Russian and Belarusian translations, generally take into consideration the polysemy of the σώφρων word group in the New Testament, though a great extent of variability of equivalents and a lack of consistent reproduction of gender and age connotations are observed. We argue that the use of certain moral equivalents of the σώφρων word group in modern East Slavic translations (in particular, Ukrainian цнотливий, цнотливість, цнота, Russian целомудренный and Belarusian цнатлівий) is inappropriate due to the resulting narrowing of their meanings to ‘innocence’, ‘virginity’ and ‘sexual purity’.
The Urgency of Regulating Resale Royalty Right on Painting Copyrights in Indonesia (Comparative Study of Germany and Australia)
Authors: Masyhuri Muhammad , Nadiyya Ahsana , Sylvana Gresika Bunga
Published: August 2023

The Berne Convention includes provisions for resale royalty rights, which have been adopted by countries worldwide. However, Indonesia has yet to establish a framework for resale royalty rights, leading to suboptimal protection of economic rights for creators of painting works. This study aims to analyze the regulation of economic rights for the resale of painting works under Copyright Law in Indonesia, Germany, and Australia. Additionally, it seeks to identify the urgency of implementing royalty rights resale in the Indonesian Copyright Law. The research utilizes a normative legal approach with a statutory and comparative focus. The findings indicate that Indonesia currently lacks specific regulations for royalty rights resale within its Copyright Law. In contrast, Germany and Australia have incorporated the resale royalty right provisions of the Berne Convention into their respective Urheberrechtsgesetz 1965 and Resale Royalty Right for Visual Artist Act 2009. The creators of painting works deserve royalty rights on the resale of their works to enhance their well-being and secure benefits for their heirs. Therefore, it is crucial for Indonesia to adopt legal practices regarding royalty rights resale based on the experiences of Germany and Australia. Recognizing the advantages of implementing royalty rights resale, it becomes evident that such regulations are essential in Indonesia. To protect the economic rights of creators of painting works adequately, Indonesia should consider incorporating provisions for royalty rights resale in its copyright law reform. This will not only strengthen the legal protection of creators but also promote the growth of the artistic community in the country.

Authors: Pan Zhihong , Wang Xian , Li Qingde , Li Jichang , Wang Haikun
Published: August 2023

Samples of agilawood (agarwood), which were studied in this work, were produced in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, China. To enhance incense production, a specific concentration of plant hormone is employed for induction. The extraction technology of agilawood essential oil was explored using supercritical carbon dioxide fluid, which exhibited a more pronounced induction effect. The pressure, temperature, and flow rate, respectively, were 8, 16, and 24 MPa; 35, 45, and 55 °C; and 20, 30, and 40 L/h. A Box-Behnken analysis was adopted for experimental data, which involved 33 experiments. The data were fitted with the equation Y = 2.18 + 0.1312X1 – 0.025X2 + 0.1236X3 – 0.0025X1X2 – 0.0125X2X3 + 0.0175X12 + 0.035X22 – 0.1275X32. Hence, the optimal process parameters in the supercritical extraction of agarwood essential oil were as follows: the pressure, temperature, and flow rate of 24 MPa, 35 °C, and 33 L/h, respectively. An analysis was conducted with the statistical analysis software Design-Expert 11, which indicated that the extraction yield of agarwood essential oil by supercritical carbon dioxide was mainly affected by the pressure and flow rate. The yield was proportional to the pressure and flow, and inversely proportional to the temperature.

Published: August 2023

The objective of this research was to identify bacteria present in the microbiota of dentinal carious lesions in primary molars of some Costa Rican pediatric patients. Data were collected from 15 children aged between 4 and 8 years old who attended the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic at the Faculty of Dentistry from the University of Costa Rica (UCR). The inclusion criteria were: infants between 4 and 8 years old who presented cavitated carious lesions in primary teeth, who were actively attended by students at the Faculty of Dentistry from the UCR, and whose parents or legal guardians signed the informed consent to participate in this research. Samples were taken using a sterile spoon, placed in storage vials, and subjected to various conventional and molecular microbial identification techniques, such as Gram stain identification, catalase tests, oxidase, TSI, API 20E, API STAPH, and VITEK 2. Of the 60 bacterial strains subjected to Gram staining, the following was obtained: 28 Gram-positive bacteria and 32 Gram-negative bacteria.  The main isolated organisms were species of Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pasteurella pneumotropica/Mannheimia haemolytica, Pantoea spp, and Streptococcus mutans.
Research of the Fučik spectrum for the (p,q)-Laplacian operator by min-max theory
Authors: Djeffal Selma Hadjer , Benselhoub Aissa
Published: August 2023

The object of research is the Fučik spectrum for the (p,q)-Laplacian operator. In the present paper, we are going to introduce the notion of the Fučik spectrum for a non-linear, non-homogeneous operator, which is the (p,q)-Laplacian operator through the study of the following eigenvalue boundary problem:
{–∆pu–∆qu=λ(u+)p–1–μ(u–)q–1 in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω,
where Ω⊂RN, N≥1 is a bounded open subset with smooth boundary and λ and μ are two real parameters. In order to establish and show the existence of non-trivial solutions for the problem described above, we will search the weak solution of the energy functional associated to our problem by combining two essentials theorems of the Min-Max theory which are the Ljusternick-Schnirelmann (L-S) approach and the Col theorem. In addition to that, we are going to use the Ljusternick-Schnirelman theorem to show that our problem possesses a critical value ck in a suitable manifold that we will define later in the present manuscript. Following to that we will verify the Col geometry by using the critical point associated to the critical value ck and by applying the Col theorem, we will find a new critical value cn. After that, by employing the critical value cn we will demonstrate the existence of the family of curves which generate the set of Fučik spectrum of the (p,q)-Laplacian operator. To complete our research about the structure of the set of the Fučik spectrum of the (p,q)-Laplacian operator we will give the most important properties of the family of curves which are the continuity and the decrease. We have chosen to put our interest on the study of the Fučik spectrum because it’s determination is as important in mathematics as it is in many other fields (physics, plasma-physics, reaction-diffusion equation etc.). We can take as an example it’s use in the field of waves and vibrations where the starting point of the wave or the vibration is influenced by the structure and characteristics of the family of curves which constitute the Fučik spectrum of the (p,q)-Laplacian operator.

Artificial intelligence technologies are actively used to solve both general and highly specialized tasks. In the process of assessing (identifying) the condition of complex and heterogeneous objects, there is a high degree of a priori uncertainty regarding their condition and a small amount of initial data describing them. The trends of armed conflicts of the last decades and the regularities of the development of information systems, convincingly indicate the need to change approaches to the collection of information from various sources and their analysis. There is a constant transformation of the forms of information presentation and the order of storage and access to various types of data. The problem of integrating disparate sources of information collection into a single information space is also not fully resolved.
That is why the issue of improving the efficiency of assessing the state of complex and heterogeneous dynamic objects is an important and urgent issue. The objects of research are heterogeneous dynamic objects. The subject of the research is the identification of the state of heterogeneous dynamic objects. In the research, the method of identifying the state of heterogeneous dynamic objects was developed. The novelty of the proposed method consists in:
‒ taking into account the degree of uncertainty about the state of a heterogeneous dynamic object;
‒ taking into account the degree of data noise as a result of distortion of data characterizing the state of a heterogeneous dynamic object;
‒ reducing computing costs while assessing the state of heterogeneous dynamic objects;
‒ the possibility of performing calculations with source data that are different in nature and units of measurement.
It is advisable to implement the mentioned method in specialized software, which is used to analyze the state of complex technical systems and make decisions.
Determination of the influence of temperature, concentration of ferric oxides and oxidative conditions of glass boiling on the displacement of the equilibrium of ferric oxides Fе2O3↔FеO
Authors: Plemiannikov Mykola , Zhdanіuk Nataliіa
Published: August 2023

The object of research is the state of equilibrium of ferrum(II) and ferrum(III) oxides in glass melts at temperatures of 1000–1400 °С, welded in oxidizing, neutral and reducing conditions with a content of ferrum oxides up to 1.5 %.
This problem is relevant in the following aspects.
The first aspect of this problem is the unwanted coloring of the glass: FeO colors the glass blue, and Fe2O3 – yellow. The combined presence of ferrum(II) oxide and ferrum(III) oxide determines the gradations of glass shades that fall on the green spectrum.
The second aspect concerns the thermophysics of processes of boiling glasses containing iron oxides. Ferrum(II) oxide causes a strong absorption band of infrared radiation in the region of 1.1 μm. This becomes an obstacle to the volumetric heating of glass in the processes of cooking, forming, and annealing.
The third aspect of the problem concerns the structure of glasses and glass-crystalline materials with an increased content of iron oxides. Iron oxides significantly affect the processes of glass structuring, as ferrum(III) oxide is a typical network former, and ferrum(II) oxide is a typical modifier.
The state of FeO↔Fe2O3 equilibrium in glass is significantly influenced by the glass cooking environment, the total amount of iron oxides, and the temperature of the melt. The glass brewing environment has the greatest influence on the balance of iron oxides in the glass. The share of FeO oxide in the total amount of iron oxides (FeO+Fe2O3) increases sharply when moving from an oxidizing medium to a neutral one and then to a reducing one. During thermostating at a temperature of 1400 °С, the proportion of FeO in the glass increases by 1.4–1.7 times during cooking in an oxidizing environment, by 1.2–1.3 times in a neutral environment, and by approximately 1.1 times in a reducing environment. At the same time, this growth is more noticeable in glasses with a lower iron content.
Thus, the equilibrium state of FeO↔Fe2O3 in glass significantly affects the technological and operational properties of silicate melts and the final glass. The ratio of formed oxides of trivalent and divalent ferrum was studied by chemical (titrometric) analysis.
The research results can be used in practice to develop the composition of glasses with an increased content of iron oxides.
Birds of SABAP2 pentad 2915_2555 on the Jagersfontein Road, south-west of Bloemfontein, Free State
Authors: De Swardt Dawie
Published: August 2023

This paper describes results of a bird survey done at Pentad 2915_2555 on the Jagersfontein road south-west of Bloemfontein between April 2008 and January 2023.  A total of 197 species have been recorded from mainly 169 full-protocol SABAP2 cards (162 done by author) and more than 30 ad hoc lists. The seasonality of waterbird species is discussed based on responses and occurrences after the rainfall seasons. Higher reporting rates were obtained for species such as Yellow-billed Ducks (49.7%), Red-billed Teals (37.9%) and White-faced Whistling Ducks (32.0%) during the summer months, which were sometimes still present into the drier winter months. Spur-winged Goose (39.6%) and Egyptian Goose (69.2%) also have high reporting occurrences, although South African Shelducks showed a more seasonal occurrence with lower reporting rates (17.8%). The seasonality of winter visiting species such as Swallow-tailed Bee eater and Sickle-winged Chats is discussed. Sickle-winged Chats were mostly observed in the area between April–August preferring low shrubs in open patches in grassland and on gravel roads.  Swallow-tailed Bee eater were observed in the Buddleja sp. bush areas on the slope of the hill at the Praalhoek farm between May and July.  The seasonal occurrence of Melodeuis Larks, which starts singing after the first summer rains, is also discussed. The ongoing monitoring of bird populations through the SABAP2 project (and with other platforms such as the Virtual Museum digitization projects) is emphasized and therefore the importance of monitoring bird populations over time.

Psicologia e Compromisso Social: junção importante, problematização necessária e atual
Authors: Costa Pedro Henrique Antunes da , Mendes Kíssila Teixeira , Pinto Mariana de Almeida
Published: August 2023

Resumo O artigo tem como objetivo debater o Projeto de “Compromisso Social” da Psicologia (PCSP) brasileira mediante a atual conjuntura. O PCSP advém do processo de lutas históricas da Psicologia a partir dos anos 1970, o que também ocorreu em outras áreas, almejando um saber comprometido com a realidade brasileira e latino-americana, e com sua transformação social. Tais pressupostos exigiram um movimento teórico-político com novas bases metodológicas e ontológicas. Dessa forma, buscamos discorrer sobre algumas de suas limitações e potencialidades: primeiramente, há uma apresentação e contextualização histórica do PCSP para, posteriormente, ser debatido seu atrelamento ao âmbito das políticas sociais. Ancorados na presente conjuntura, de intensificação da barbárie, concluímos sinalizando a necessidade não apenas um compromisso, mas um projeto ético-político de Psicologia vinculado a outro projeto societário.

Resumo O artigo pretende pensar o tema da saudade (de, e não em, Victor Heringer) como tentativa de homenagem, pelo efeito que a leitura de sua produção literária pode, de maneira pessoal e intransferível, quase como o acontecimento, mudar e abrir caminhos de percepção não só da obra em si, mas como também da própria tensão na teoria que suscita formulações genéricas, universalizantes. Através de movimentos que buscam pensar a junção do visto a partir do literário como a base de questionamento da teoria sem separar um e outro, relê-se argumentos em torno do gênero crônica e de como a literatura teria capacidade de mudar a vida de alguém a ponto de produzir, como resultado, uma tentativa de entendimento daquilo que resta a partir do momento no qual a relação produzida autor-leitor se quebra, ao mesmo tempo em que se mantém, depois da morte do primeiro pólo, em termos de sobrevivência e afeto.

PREVALENCE OF SERRATED POLYPS AND THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH SYNCHRONOUS COLORECTAL ADVANCED ADENOMAS
Authors: MEINE Gilmara Coelho , SANDER Guilherme Becker
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT Background: Serrated lesions are the precursors of up to one-third of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases and share molecular and epidemiological features with interval CRC. Previous studies have reported wide variation in serrated polyp prevalence and diverse magnitude of its relationship with synchronous advanced adenomas. Objective: Describe the prevalence of serrated polyps and evaluate their association with synchronous advanced adenomas. Methods: The study is a retrospective analysis of 1208 colonoscopies performed in patients aged 45 to 75, predominantly for CRC screening. Data on the prevalence of serrated polyps subsets and advanced adenomas were collected, and multivariate analysis were performed to identify the association between serrated polyps and synchronous advanced adenomas. Results: The prevalence of clinically significant serrated polyps (CSSP), large serrated polyps (LSP), and sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) were 11.3%, 6%, and 3.7%. CSSP were associated with synchronous advanced adenomas (OR 2.121, 95%CI 1.321-3.406), regardless of proximal (OR 2.966, 95%CI 1.701-5.170) or distal (OR 1.945, 95%CI 1.081-3.499) location, while LSP (OR 2.872, 95%CI 1.425-5.787) and SSA (OR 5.032, 95%CI 2.395-10.576) were associated with proximal advanced adenomas. Conclusion: The prevalence of CSSP and advanced adenomas were alike. CSSP is a risk factor for advanced adenomas, and the strength of this association is stronger for proximal advanced adenomas. LSP and SSA are associated with proximal advanced adenomas.
A implantação da residência de medicina de família e comunidade na atenção primária: uso da ferramenta de análise de implantação no estado de São Paulo
Authors: Ribeiro Lucas Gaspar , Cyrino Eliana Goldfarb , Pazin-Filho Antônio
Published: August 2023

Introdução:
A medicina de família e comunidade (MFC) é a especialidade preferencial para estar presente na principal porta de entrada dos sistemas de saúde, a atenção primária à saúde (APS). A melhor forma de incremento dessa especialidade é a residência médica, em que ao menos 70% do período de estágio é na APS. Assim, é imprescindível a qualidade de implantação da residência na APS.
Objetivos:
Avaliar a qualidade de implementação dos programas de residência médica em MFC na APS.
Método:
Utilização de uma ferramenta desenvolvida para análise de implementação de residência de MFC na APS em programas pequenos (até dois residentes do segundo ano), médios (dois a cinco) e grandes (a partir de seis), avaliando de zero a quatro pontos, entre não implantado e totalmente implantado. As notas foram obtidas a partir de entrevista com residentes, preceptores, coordenadores e gestores municipais, considerando avaliação de quarta geração.
Resultados:
Seis programas foram avaliados, em municípios de 20 mil a 700 mil habitantes, com variação de um a 22 residentes do segundo ano, variando de insatisfatório (um programa) a totalmente implantado (dois programas). Municípios com maior cobertura de APS apresentaram resultados de implementação maiores. As notas mais baixas foram nos itens “educação permanente” e “educação continuada” e as mais altas na presença de especialistas em MFC como preceptores. Há diferença de percepção entre os entrevistados considerando as mesmas áreas.
Discussão:
O estudo sugere que municípios com maior investimento na APS também possuem melhores programas de residência, independentemente de o vínculo ser com centros educacionais ou secretarias de saúde. A pandemia de SARS-CoV-2 também dificultou a educação em saúde. Os resultados também foram definidores quando entrevistadas diferentes pessoas, demonstrando ser essencial essa metodologia.
Conclusão:
Há a necessidade de observar a implementação dos programas de residência na APS para garantir formação de qualidade, e não apenas quantidade para provimento.
A 150 éves Budapest és a prostitúció, régi és új botrányaival, tragédiáival
Authors: Forrai Judit
Published: August 2023

For thousands of years, the glitzy, proud, flashy, glamorous inner city has been an essential part of the cities that developed on commercial hubs, and there is a hidden face at the back, where poverty, crime, violence and prostitution exist in the service layer of the glitzy city. This phenomenon is found in every big city. In this paper, we will examine to what extent prostitution was and became a part of Budapest's life in the first 150 years, whether the city's organizing and directing will bring any change in the organised but secret, mostly nightlife from the beginning, and if so, in what way, how did the roles, problems, networks and methods of nightlife participants evolve, what demands were made by nightlife consumers and at what price could the service providers meet them (or did the service providers shape tastes and expectations in this area)?

A neonatológia technikai fejlődésének története
Authors: Sallai Eszter Zsófia
Published: August 2023

The science of neonatology started its proper development in the 1960s with technological advances in providing care for premature neonates. Parallel, the expansion of professional knowledge about prematurity gave hope for babies regarded earlier as ‘by-products’ of obstetrical wards. Through a number of technological achievements and an understanding of the pathophysiology of neonates, the survival of premature and sick babies became business as usual instead of being exceptional. This study provides insight into this complex development in specific fields simultaneously

Vickianthus, a new genus of the Vernonieae (Compositae) from Mexico
Authors: Robinson† Harold , Funk† Vicki A. , Kelloff Carol L. , Chan Raymund
Published: August 2023

The morphologically diverse and globally distributed tribe Vernonieae (Compositae) has had a long taxonomic history whereby the majority of its taxa ended up being put into its “core” genus, Vernonia Schreb. Recent phylogenetic studies using DNA sequence data are only now beginning to tease apart this complicated “evil tribe” and provide a better understanding of the underlying morphological relationships within. With strong support from a recent molecular phylogenetic study of the Vernonieae across its entire geographical range, ten Mexican species of Vernonia and Vernonanthura are examined in this paper and placed in a new genus, Vickianthus.

Lower Mississippi River islands are part of the last remaining floodplain habitat of the river, and studying their biodiversity is important to understand the river ecosystem. We conducted a floristic survey of six Lower Mississippi River islands between river miles 668 and 526 in southern Arkansas and northern Mississippi. These islands contain a variety of habitats and span a range of sizes, from 106 to 697 vegetated hectares. We identified 491 taxa (485 species plus six infraspecific taxa) from 2,310 specimens collected from June 2020 to December 2021. These taxa are within 89 families and 282 genera, and 100 (20.6%) species are not native to the Mississippi River drainage basin. Nine taxa found on Arkansas islands are tracked by the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission for conservation. Five taxa found in Mississippi are tracked by the Mississippi Natural Heritage Program. We found five taxa that had not previously been reported in Arkansas (Equisetum variegatum, Achyranthes japonica var. hachijoensis, Stellaria aquatica, Potentilla paradoxa, Cyperus diandrus) and seven previously unreported in Mississippi (Euploca convolvulacea, Sisymbrium loeselii, Chaiturus marrubiastrum, Mentha canadensis, Potentilla norvegica, P. paradoxa, Physalis mollis). Additionally, we collected 266 Arkansas county records, including 132 in Phillips, 64 in Desha, and 28 in Chicot counties, respectively, and 42 in Washington County, Mississippi. The high number of new encounters and tracked species found emphasizes the need for more botanical study on Lower Mississippi River islands. Of the 485 species in the flora, we found 110 species on all six islands (22.7%), 43 on five of the six islands, 47 on four islands, 75 on three islands, 72 on two islands, and 138 on only one island (28.5%). The number of unique species found on only one island illustrates how variable and dynamic these islands are in this riparian zone.

Preliminary vegetational changes in frequently burned and unburned upland pine-hardwood forests at Cook’s Branch Conservancy in Montgomery County, Texas, U.S.A.
Authors: Keith Eric , Blum Jesse , Mitchell Sarah
Published: August 2023

Vegetational changes over a 6-year period (2012 to 2017) were recorded in upland pine – hardwood forests on Cook’s Branch Conservancy (CBC) in Montgomery County, Texas, using permanent vegetation monitoring plots as a basis for following future vegetational changes. Cook’s Branch Conservancy is a 2,160-hectare preserve purchased by George and Cynthia Mitchell in 1964 and is now part of a conservation program operated by the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation. Plots sampled for this study include eight Fire Monitoring Handbook vegetation plots located in upland forests over sandy soils including four plots located in frequently burned stands (11 times since 2002) and four plots located in stands that have not been burned in decades (20+ years). Data collected confirm significant changes to vegetational structure in frequently burned forests compared to similar habitats that are unburned. Prior to initiation of prescribed burning in 2001, habitat conditions and species composition was similar in stands surrounding all eight plots sampled. The overstory tree structure of all eight plots sampled is similar in basal area, canopy cover, and in species composition. The number of midstory trees is less in frequently burned plots, however, frequently burned plots possess a much greater number of seedlings. At the shrub level, Callicarpa americana and Ilex vomitoria represented 97.7% of total stems in the frequently burned plots, with Callicarpa americana stems count increasing in frequently burned plots, suggesting the species is pyrophytic. Additionally, diversity of herbaceous species was higher in frequently burned plots vs unburned plots. Visually, the frequently burned forest is open in the understory, while the unburned forest is dense with woody understory vegetation making it difficult to traverse on foot.
Seed banks of rare Physostegia correllii (Lamiaceae) in Lady Bird Lake, Austin, Texas, U.S.A.
Authors: Middleton Beth , Williams Casey R.
Published: August 2023

Rare species threatened by climate and land-use change may harbor seeds in soil seed banks for periods of time even if adults have disappeared from the site. Soil samples were collected from sites with current Phyostegia correllii populations and from sites with former populations in Lady Bird Lake (a reservoir of the Colorado River, Austin, Texas. A seedling emergence study was conducted under greenhouse conditions, and the presence/absence of seedling emergence was recorded for two years. Seeds germinated from the seed banks of all current and former colonies tested. The presence of seed banks in a historical site (Blunn Creek) of Physostegia correllii suggests that management to encourage the germination of seeds might help to encourage the establishment of populations of this species. The re-establishment of disturbance fugitives might be facilitated by removing overhanging ground vegetation or imposing water management regimes that mimic natural floodplain dynamics.
An Inconvenient Apocalpse, Environmental Collapse, Climate Crisis, and the Fate of Humanity
Authors: Keller Harold W.
Published: August 2023

The evolutionary history of humans, known by the scientific name Homo sapiens (wise man), is the last living representative of a long fossil lineage of human-like populations. This book explores the wisdom of the current human populations, whose eight billion plus population growth and spread dominates present-day earth, and the possibility that these sheer numbers if left unchecked  without the right choices, may sooner or later, destroy planet earth and perhaps go extinct. This book explores the questions  posing human survival. Therefore, if you care about the survival of the most recent human species, you must read this book and consider the options that confront the future of our existence. Many other life forms that make up living components of ecosystems have gone extinct, and/or have merged with other extant species, so will human evolution follow the same time course?
