Published: March 2022

Chlorpyrifos is one of commonly used insecticides. However, the use of insecticides in agriculture has negative impacts including lethal effect to non-target organisms. Wader pari fish is a type of freshwater fish that lives in rice fields or rivers and can be used as an indicator of water pollution. The purpose of this study was to determine the intestinal histological structure, the histopathological effect of chlorpyrifos on intestine, and population number of goblet cells, respectively. The treatment concentration of 0.001; 0.005; and 0.01 ppm were determined by preliminary trial and exposed for 168 hours. Fish behavior and water quality were monitored. The fish were still alive until the last day of exposure were then made intestinal histological preparations using the paraffin method and staining with Haematoxylin Eosin (HE), Mallory Acid Fuchsin (MAF), Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS). The results showed that the histological structure of the wader pari intestine consisted of mucosal tunica, submucosal tunica, muscularis tunica, and serous tunica. Furthermore, chlorpyrifos has a significant effect on population number of goblet cells. The intestine damages were edema, vacuolization, cloudy swelling, hemorrhage, lysis, and fusion of vili. It could be concluded that chlorpyrifos caused intestinal damage in wader pari fish.

Published: March 2022

The manufacturing industry has an important role on the regional economic’s development. Nevertheless, economics development cannot be separated from environmental degradation issue. In Margoyoso Sub-district, Pati, Central Java, the disposal of tapioca flour wastewater results in environmental pollution and this situation rises a question on the awareness of entrepreneurs. The purpose of this study is to identify the moral attitude of tapioca entrepreneurs to the environment and to explore the efforts made by entrepreneurs to reduce the negative impacts of the wastewater. This research is conducted by qualitative method, using interview, observation, and documentation for data collection. The results of this study indicate that the moral attitude of tapioca entrepreneurs is classified as socionomous. This implies that the awareness of the entrepreneurs is at low level because the tapioca entrepreneurs run their business by following what other entrepreneurs usually do. Finally, the application of an appropriate eco-commitment concept, namely continuance commitment, is required in order to support the objectives of the business in realizing environmental sustainability for their business.

Among the few mosquito larvicides available in the market, Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) and B. sphaericus (Bs) represent the most environmentally safe alternatives. The combination of the 2 products is known to overcome their specific limitations by producing a synergistic effect. The aim of the study was to assess the effect and persistence of a single treatment with a granular Bti + Bs formulation on highly vegetated ditches in northeastern Italy that represents the primary rural larval sites for Culex pipiens, the primary vector of the West Nile virus in Europe. The analysis takes into account the nonlinear temporal effects on the population dynamics of larvae and pupae. The results showed a dramatic reduction in mosquito larval abundance 24 h posttreatment (93%) and was effective against larvae up to 22 days (100%). The residual effect after 28 days was 99.5%, and a limited residual effect was observed after 39 days (31.2%). A reduction in pupal density was observed after 4 days (70%) and was >98% from days 14 to 28 posttreatment, persisting for up to 39 days (84% after 39 days). The results demonstrate the effective use of the Bti + Bs formulation against Cx. pipiens in vegetated ditches in rural areas. Our modeling framework provides a flexible statistical approach to predict the residual effect of the product over time, in order to plan a seasonal intervention scheme.
The Impact of Adulticide on Culex Abundance and Infection Rate in North Shore of Cook County, Illinois

Published: March 2022

Mosquito surveillance is critical to reduce the risk of West Nile virus (WNV) transmission to humans. In response to surveillance indicators such as elevated mosquito abundance or increased WNV levels, many mosquito control programs will perform truck-mounted ultra-low volume (ULV) adulticide application to reduce the number of mosquitoes and associated virus transmission. Despite the common use of truck-based ULV adulticiding as a public health measure to reduce WNV prevalence, limited evidence exists to support a role in reducing viral transmission to humans. We use a generalized additive and fused ridge regression model to quantify the location-specific impact of truck-mounted ULV adulticide spray efforts from 2010 to 2018 in the North Shore Mosquito Abatement District (NSMAD) in metropolitan Chicago, IL, on commonly assessed risk factors from NSMAD surveillance gravid traps: Culex abundance, infection rate, and vector index. Our model also takes into account environmental variables commonly associated with WNV, including temperature, precipitation, wind speed, location, and week of year. Since it is unlikely ULV adulticide spraying will have the same impact at each trap location, we use a spatially varying spray effect with a fused ridge penalty to determine how the effect varies by trap location. We found that ULV adulticide spraying has an immediate temporary reduction in abundance followed by an increase after 5 days. It is estimated that mosquito abundance increased more in sprayed areas than if left unsprayed in all but 3 trap locations. The impact on infection rate and vector index were inconclusive due to the large error associated with estimating trap-specific infection rates.

Published: March 2022

Several portable, rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) cell phone power banks were compared with standard 6-V gel lead-acid batteries as alternative power sources for operating mosquito surveillance equipment. In laboratory trials, ToughTested® (TT)16000 and 24000, Goal Zero Venture™ 70, and Griffin Survivor® units either met or exceeded that of sealed 6-V batteries when operating the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suction light traps (with incandescent light on) for an average of 24 h. No significant difference was found when continually operating traps powered by either the TT16000 or Goal Zero Venture 70 units compared with 6-V batteries (at approximately 57 h). The TT24000 unit was the only Li-Ion power bank that exceeded this threshold at an average of approximately 73 h. In field studies, there was no significant difference in species diversity or abundance of mosquitoes among the above 4 power sources when operating CDC light traps for 24 h compared with 6-V batteries. Our results indicate that portable Li-Ion cell phone power banks ≥10,050 mAh may be suitable replacements for 6-V gel lead-acid batteries when operating these light traps, especially if weight and size constraints influence the extent of mosquito surveillance during deployments.

Published: March 2022

The establishment of action thresholds is becoming critical in mosquito control management to implement effective proactive control measures using limited available resources. As a part of a large-scale study to identify different mosquito control action thresholds used in different geographical regions, we conducted an initial survey to identify mosquito control programs that claim to have set action thresholds and to investigate their associated program characteristics. We identified 68% (USA), 60% (mainland Australia), 78% (Asia), 35% (Africa), and 50% (US military units) of the responding programs, which perform mosquito control, have set mosquito control action thresholds. More than 50% of the programs that have not set mosquito control action thresholds already collect basic surveillance information as do the programs with thresholds. Further investigations with the selected mosquito control programs from this initial survey will help develop guidelines on establishing action thresholds by identifying different types of actual action thresholds used by programs in different geographical settings and other related information.

Some details in the study of viruses that affect to small animals
Authors: Carlos Navarro Venegas  , Pablo Céspedes Donoso
Published: March 2022

Viruses have deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) as their genome, which already makes them different from any other pathogenic agent or microorganism. Knowing all or part of its genome generally makes it possible to establish faster, more effective, simpler and lower-cost diagnostic methods. Virology is a discipline in constant change or at least surprises, represented by the appearance of new strains or variants that can wreak some havoc on animal species, including us. Studying animal viruses is studying viruses that emerge in humans, since viruses are viruses and knowing part of their genome today allows us to establish the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) protocols for their detection, as two Nobel Prize winners would say.

Published: March 2022

Campylobacter jejuniis an important cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide and is linked to Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), a debilitating postinfectious polyneuropathy. The immunopathogenesis of GBS involves the generation of antibodies that are cross reactive toC. jejunilipooligosaccharide and structurally similar peripheral nerve gangliosides. Both theC. jejuniinfecting strain and host factors contribute to GBS development. GBS pathogenesis is associated with Th2-mediated responses in patients. Moreover, induction of IgG1 antiganglioside antibodies in association with colonic Th2-mediated immune responses has been reported inC. jejuni-infected C57BL/6 IL10–/–mice at 4 to 6 wk after infection. We hypothesized that, due to their Th2 immunologic bias, BALB/c mice would develop autoantibodies and signs of peripheral neuropathy after infection with a GBS patient–derived strain ofC. jejuni(strain 260.94). WT and IL10–/–BALB/c mice were orally inoculated withC. jejuni260.94, phenotyped weekly for neurologic deficits, and euthanized after 5 wk. Immune responses were assessed asC. jejuni-specific and antiganglioside antibodies in plasma and cytokine production and histologic lesions in the proximal colon. Peripheral nerve lesions were assessed in dorsal root ganglia and their afferent nerve fibers by scoring immunohistochemically labeled macrophages through morphometry.C. jejuni260.94 stably colonized both WT and IL10–/–mice and induced systemic Th1/Th17-mediated immune responses with significant increases inC. jejuni-specific IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3 plasma antibodies. However,C. jejuni260.94 did not induce IgG1 antiganglioside antibodies, colitis, or neurologic deficits or peripheral nerve lesions in WT or IL10–/–mice. Both WT and IL10–/–BALB/c mice showed relative protection from development of Th2-mediated immunity and antiganglioside antibodies as compared with C57BL/6 IL10–/–mice. Therefore, BALB/c mice infected withC. jejuni260.94 are not an effective disease model but provide the opportunity to study the role of immune mechanisms and host genetic background in the susceptibility to post infectious GBS.

This
paper explores the influence of an entrepreneur’s family on the entrepreneur’s
well-being, their business experience and vice versa. Set in a relatively
under-research context of business exit, the study has analysed the
entrepreneurial journey of 46 cases of business exits using gender as a
bio-cultural construct. Empirical findings reveal the underlying causal mechanisms
that mediate the work-family interface of an entrepreneur’s life and
consequently their business exit decision. Gendering is not confined to social
dyn­­­­amics but shapes the coping and post-exit recovery mechanisms as
well.
La manipolazione degli scoop giornalistici: il caso della junk news sulle foibe e la campagna elettorale del 2018
Authors: Pilati Federico
Published: March 2022

During the 2018 Italian election campaign one of the main political battlefields was the issue of immigration. Within this issue a relevant part of the public and political debate focused on the so-called 'Macerata’s events': the killing of a minor by an immigrant of Nigerian origin and the subsequent vindictive shooting carried out by a far right political militant. In the following days, an antiracist demonstration in solidarity with the victims of the shooting was organized by a vast network of NGO and social movements. Although more than 20,000 people took part at this manifestation, the chronicle of the counter-event was characterized by a dubious rumour regarding a slogan singed against the foibe’s victims. Through a research design that uses as data the digital traces of online news and Twitter posts we studied the generative and dissemination processes of this ‘junk news’, showing how fake accounts and coordinated behaviour strategies helped the rumour go viral. In the highly polarized context that characterizes democratic societies, the case of the junk news about the foibe slogan shows how media manipulation techniques can use to their advantage the ‘hit economy’ system that forces journalism to constantly chase the latest scoop.

Estimating the extent of inflated significance in economics
Authors: Bruns Stephan , Deressa Teshome Kebede , Stanley T D , Doucouliagos Chris , Ioannidis john
Published: March 2022

Using a sample of 70,399 published p-values from 192 meta-analyses, we empirically estimate the counterfactual distribution of p-values in the absence of any biases. Comparing observed p-values with counterfactually expected p-values allows us to estimate how many p-values are published as being statistically significant when they should have been published as being non-significant. We estimate the extent of inflated significance to range between 56.2% and 71.3% of the significant p-values. Subsample analysis suggests that the extent of inflated significance is reduced in research fields that use experimental designs, analyze microeconomics research questions and have at least some adequately powered studies.
Paleocene to Miocene southern Tethyan carbonate factories of the Southwestern and Western Central Asia

Published: March 2022

One hundred and forty-four sections of shallow-water carbonates, deposited between the Paleocene and the Miocene, from the Levant to the Himalaya, have been investigated to analyze the distribution of carbonate facies and carbonate producing organisms. Large benthic foraminifera resulted the volumetrically most important group of carbonate producers during the whole period, with a peak in abundance during the Eocene. Colonial corals are relatively abundant during the Paleocene and in the Miocene, their abundance peak during the Oligocene and has a minimum during the Eocene. Red calcareous algae have a similar pattern although their peak in abundance covers both the Oligocene and the Miocene. Green calcareous algae decrease from the Paleocene onward. Facies related to very shallow and/or restricted marine conditions peak during the Miocene and in particular during the Aquitanian. Both the pattern of large benthic foraminifera and of colonial corals seems to be related to temperatures, with warm periods favoring the former and cool periods the latter. Red calcareous algae display a pattern similar to that of colonial corals suggesting that the periods favorable for one group, on the large scale, are also favorable for the other. The progressive decrease of green calcareous algae could be tentatively related to a preservation bias connected to the transition from Paleogene assemblages that included presumably calcitic taxa of green algae and Neogene assemblages entirely constituted by aragonitic taxa with limited preservation potential. The Aquitanian peak in facies related to very shallow and/or restricted marine conditions is most likely connected to the progressive narrowing of the Tethys related to the collision between Arabia and Eurasia. These results denote an overall agreement between the abundance of the various types of shallow-water carbonate facies and large-scale environmental and geological processes, highlighting the potential for paleoenvironmental reconstruction locked in the shallow-water record.
Retrieval practice enhances new learning but does not affect performance in subsequent arithmetic tasks

Published: March 2022

The forward testing effect is an indirect benefit of retrieval practice. It refers to the finding that retrieval practice of previously studied information enhances learning and retention of subsequently studied other information in episodic memory tasks. Here, two experiments were conducted that investigated whether retrieval practice influences participants’ performance in other tasks, i.e., arithmetic tasks. Participants studied three lists of words in anticipation of a final recall test. In the testing condition, participants were immediately tested on lists 1 and 2 after study of each list, whereas in the restudy condition, they restudied lists 1 and 2 after initial study. Before and after study of list 3, participants did an arithmetic task. Finally, participants were tested on list 3, list 2, and list 1. Different arithmetic tasks were used in the two experiments. Participants did a modular arithmetic task in Experiment 1a and a single-digit multiplication task in Experiment 1b. The results of both experiments showed a forward testing effect with interim testing of lists 1 and 2 enhancing list 3 recall in the list 3 recall test, but no effects of recall testing of lists 1 and 2 for participants’ performance in the arithmetic tasks. The findings are discussed with respect to cognitive load theory and current theories of the forward testing effect.

Dogs are often referred to as ‘human’s best friend’, and many households in the United Kingdom and worldwide include a dog. Research highlights the strength of the bond between human and dog, including the myriad of physical and mental health benefits. However, less research has explored this bond (and the subsequent effect on health) when dogs exhibit behaviours that their human companion finds inappropriate. Yet many dogs each year are relinquished, or even euthanised, for exhibiting such behaviours. A key behaviour often cited in these situations is ‘reactivity’. Importantly, however, there is no consensus in the literature (or the lay population) as to exactly which behaviours constitute problematic ‘reactivity’. This research, therefore, sought to investigate how dog ‘reactivity’ is understood by dog guardians, through an online survey. Six themes emerged from a thematic analysis of the data, which were generally clustered in two ways; dog-centric and human-centric, with a final theme drawing together the complexity of the term for both dog behaviour and human perceptions and applications. This research highlighted the complex, nuanced and, sometimes, contradictory nature of understanding around the label of ‘reactivity’, and the need for further research to consolidate knowledge in this area to provide a single definition of ‘reactivity’ and to understand how this label is used in dog training. A key recommendation from this research is the need for an objective measure of dog behaviour to help with the human-dog matching process at rehoming centres and to track changes in dog behaviour during training programmes.
Task-level and Item-level Components of Procedure Speed-up

Alphabet-arithmetic (e.g., B + 4 = C D E F) is a classic, yet still controversial, skill-acquisition task in cognitive science and is a common proxy for learning processes of genuine addition (2 + 4 = 6) in experimental research. We designed the present experiment to distinguish task-general and item-specific components of procedure learning in this task. We tracked alphabet-arithmetic learning in university students across six practice blocks (36 problems per block) replacing 12 old items with 12 new items in each of Blocks 3 and 5. This design was intended to promote use of a counting strategy throughout practice (rather than memorization of problem-answer pairs) and permitted measurement of task-general transfer effects while holding item age constant and item-level transfer with task age constant. Transfer of procedural learning expressed in RT speed-up and fewer errors showed improved performance of task-general mechanisms but also that procedural memory in this experiment encoded item-level problem features to enhance procedure execution. The present findings indicated that such item-level specialization of procedure execution can begin after only a small number of item repetitions even with a relatively large number of different items. As such, these phenomena may provide a useful new benchmark for models of cognitive skill acquisition.

Rapid adaptation to sudden changes in the environment is a hallmark of human behaviour. Many computational, neuroimaging, and even clinical investigations, which capture this ability have relied on a behavioural paradigm known as the predictive-inference task. However, the psychometric quality of this task has never been examined, leaving unanswered whether it is indeed suited to capture behavioural variation on a within- and between-subject level. Using a large-scale test-retest design (N=330), we assessed the internal (internal consistency) and temporal (test-retest reliability) stability of the task’s relevant measures. We show that while the main measures capturing flexible adaptation yield good internal consistency and overall satisfying test-retest reliability, more complex markers of flexible behaviour lack convincing psychometric quality. Our findings have implications for the large corpus of previous studies using this task and provide clear guidance as to which measures should and should not be used in future studies.
Familiarity Breeds Humanity: Humans Can Better Categorise Dog (Canis familiaris) than Chimpanzee/Bonobo (Pan troglodytes/Pan paniscus) Facial Displays of Emotion

Human beings are highly familiar over-learnt social targets, with similar physical facial morphology between perceiver and target. But does familiarity with or similarity to a social target determine whether we can accurately infer emotions from facial displays? Here, we test this question across two studies by having human participants categorise facial displays of emotion from dogs, a highly familiar social target but with relatively dissimilar facial morphology, and chimpanzees, an unfamiliar social target, but a close genetic relative with a more similar facial morphology. We find that people are more accurate categorising facial displays of emotion from dogs compared to chimpanzees. However, we also find an effect of emotion, such that people vary in their ability to recognise different emotional states in different species, with anger more recognizable across species, perhaps hinting at an evolutionary bias towards detecting threat. These results provide initial evidence that familiarity or experience with a non-human animal affect reading emotion from facial displays.
Economic Geography and Air Pollution Regulation in the United States

Published: March 2022

We develop a quantitative economic geography model with endogenous emissions, amenities, trade, and labor reallocation to evaluate the spatial impact of the leading air quality regulation in the United States: the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). We find that the NAAQS generate $40 billion in annual welfare gains, first-best emissions pricing would increase this by an additional $70 billion, gains are concentrated in a small set of cities, and improved amenities attract nonmanufacturing workers. Atmospheric transport of emissions, labor reallocation, and trade are first-order factors for quantifying the level and distribution of both costs and benefits of the NAAQS.

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), or mostly known as COVID-19, has infected millions of people and led to a public health crisis. Various aspects including the economy and daily routine of life have also been severely affected. At the time being, treatment using previously FDA-approved antiviral such as hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir, as well as using convalescent plasma does not guarantee full recovery of COVID-19 infection. Thus, the search for effective treatment against COVID-19 is actively going on including using natural products. Bee products such as honey (with trehalulose sugar), propolis, royal jelly, bee pollen, and bee bread, are among the natural products that hold promises in attenuating COVID-19, either as an alternative source of the antiviral activity or to enhance the activity of current standard ward treatments. Besides being used in the human diet since ancient times, numerous pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown their pharmacological activities in improving general well-being as well as reducing the risk of developing various diseases. This review will consider a range of honey bee and stingless bee products and evaluate the evidence available for their therapeutic potential against COVID-19 infection. Here, we review the biological properties of bee products and evaluate the evidence available for their therapeutic potential in reducing the risk of developing COVID-19 as well as curing it.
Geologic Controls of Uranium Mineralization in The Tallahassee Creek Uranium District, Fremont County, Colorado
Authors: Dickinson K.A.
Published: March 2022

Two important orebodies have been defined by drilling in the Tallahassee Creek uranium district, Fremont County, Colorado They are the Hansen orebody, which contains about 12 million kg of U3O3, and the Picnic Tree orebody, which contains about I million kg of U3O3. Host rock for the Hansen is the upper Eocene Echo Park Alluvium, and host rock for the Picnic Tree is the lower Oligocene Tallahassee Creek Conglomerate. Average ore grade for both deposits is about 0.08 percent U3O8. The principal source rock for the uranium deposits is the lower Oligocene Wall Mountain Tuff, although a young­ er volcanic rock, the Oligocene Th1rtynine Mile Andesite, and Precambrian granitic rocks probably also contributed some uranium. Leaching and transportation of the uranium occurred in alkaline oxidizing ground water that developed during alteration of the ash in a semi-arid environment. The uranium was transported in the ground water to favorable sites where 1t was deposited in a reducing environment controlled by carbonaceous material and associated pyrite. Localization of the ore was controlled by ground-water flow conditions and by the distribution of organic mat­ ter m the host rock. Ground-water flow, which was apparently to the southeast in Echo Park Alluvium that is con­ fined in the Echo Park graben, was impeded by a fault that offsets the southern end of the graben. This offset prevented efficient discharge into the ancestral Arkansas River drainage and protected chemically reducing areas from destruction by the influx of large amounts of oxidizing ground water. The location of orebodies in the Echo Park Alluvium also may be related to areas where overlying rocks of low permeability were breached by erosion during deposition of the fluvial Tallahassee Creek Conglomerate allowing localized entry of uranium-bearing water. Paleohydrology in Tallahassee Creek Conglomerate may have additionally been controlled by the alteration of pervious ash beds to impervious clay beds.

The systematic position of two species of Lymnaeidae, Lymnaea vulnerata (Küster, 1862) and L. occulta (Jackiewicz, 1959), is discussed. On the basic of anatomical features, Lymnaea vulnerata is included in the subgenus Corvusiana Servain, 1881, the section Kuesterilymnaea sect. n. A new synonymy is established: Lymnaea terebra (Westerlund, 1884) = L. occulta (Jackiewicz, 1959), syn. n. (not syn. of L. vulnerata).

DNA analysis has transformed forensic science, assisting in the capture of serial killers and the exoneration of innocent people falsely accused of major crimes. As DNA profiling becomes more sensitive and is utilized in more cases, it is critical that public and professional expectations are based on reality rather than television crime drama. In the pursuit of justice, DNA evidence is a useful and neutral instrument. DNA evidence will play an increasingly essential part in investigating crimes in the future, whether it helps convictor absolve persons. As a result, victims will receive better justice, and communities will be safer. This article discusses the vitality of DNA in the criminal justice system and provides an analysis pertaining to international practices.
