Published: April 2024

Living plants can generate electricity with the help of the microbial fuel cell. This is a sustainable way to generate electricity as there is no chance of environmental pollution. In this chapter, plant microbial fuel cells will be discussed thoroughly including their design and mechanism for sustainable power generation through plant microbial fuel cells. This plant microbial fuel cell can provide the necessary bioenergy and the potential food supply at the same time. If we could get green energy and food together, then it would certainly increase the chance of the probable supply of the two important demands of the world, which are shortages of green energy and food for humanity.
Perspective Chapter: Unravelling the Policy Paradox – A Critical Examination of Post-Apartheid South Africa’s Healthcare Development in the Context of Developmental State Goals
Authors: Lander Kiera
Published: April 2024

Post-apartheid South Africa has had economic development goals aligned with that of a developmental state (DS). However, almost three decades later, persistent rates of high inequality, poverty, and unemployment prove that not only has the African National Congress (ANC) been unsuccessful in achieving its development goals; but the reality of its macroeconomic policy has not been that of a developmental state. While the presented policy on healthcare in South Africa appears, prima facie, to be committed to deep developmental goals, other policies thwart the intentions of this legislation. These policies entrench and perpetuate inequalities in health outcomes between rural and urban, private, and public, as well as racial profiles of citizens. The policies that undo the developmental spending on healthcare include cadre deployment which ensures weak civil service management and conflicting messages in policy decisions as they develop. Further, this mixed policy approach towards healthcare has undermined South Africa’s development goals. Although the ANC may have to combat the apartheid legacies of inequality, poverty, and unemployment, its failure in achieving meaningful development can be largely attributed to its misdirected policy approach to both its macroeconomic environment and basic healthcare.

Published: April 2024

Background: Vision provides 80% of human sensory perception. Hence, loss of the visual sense can cause severe motor problems. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the total score of functional movement screening test (FMSTM) and its components in three groups B1, B2 and B3 in female athletes who are visually impaired. Methods: Seventy-three female athletes with visual acuity at different levels of blindness (B1, B2 and B3) were selected as participants. Functional movement were measured by FMS tests including deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight leg raise, trunk stability push-up, and rotary stability. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22, using ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests at a significant level of P ≤ 0.05. Results: The finding showed that the quality of performing functional movements declined with blindness acuity, but it was not significant statistically in total score of functional movement screen (FMS) test between groups. However, there was a significant difference between B1 with B2 group only at the inline lunge. Conclusions: Therefore, coaches are recommended to include FMSTM in the programs for screening, pre-participation, and assessments of athletes with visual impairments to improve functional movements.

Authors: Yeşil Serra Yaren , Çelik Ayşenur , Bala Oya
Published: April 2024

Günümüzde estetik talep nedeniyle diş hekimine başvurma sıklığının artması, hekimlerin rezin kompozit ve seramik gibi materyalleri daha fazla kullanmasına neden olmuştur. Rezin kompozitler klinikte yaygın olarak kullanılmasına rağmen, polimerizasyon büzülmesi ile ilgili problemler hala önemini korumaktadır. Polimerizasyon büzülmesinin etkilerini azaltmak ve polimerizasyon miktarını arttırmak amacıyla rezin
kompozitlerin indirekt olarak kullanımı önerilmektedir. Ancak indirekt kullanım söz konusu olduğunda, estetik ve mekanik özellikler açısından rezin kompozite göre daha fazla avantajları olan seramik materyallerin kullanımı gündeme gelmektedir.
İndirekt restorasyonların klinik başarısını endikasyon aşamasından simantasyona kadar birbirinden bağımsız olarak etkileyen birçok faktör bulunmaktadır. Bu faktörlerden simantasyon aşaması klinik başarıyı etkileyen en önemli faktörlerden biridir. Simantasyon amacıyla birbirinden farklı birçok materyal kullanılmasına rağmen, en fazla tercih edilen materyalin rezin simanlar olduğu görünmektedir. Ayrıca adeziv teknolojinin gelişimine paralel olarak gelişim göstermiştir.
İndirekt restorasyonların klinik başarısını etkileyen diğer bir faktör ise restorasyon yüzeyine fiziksel ve/veya kimyasal bazı uygulamaların yapılmasıdır. Bu uygulamaların restorasyonun ömrü üzerine olumlu katkıları olduğu rapor edilmiştir. Bu derlemede rezin kompozit veya seramik ile yapılan indirekt restorasyonların simantasyonunda kullanılacak materyalin seçimi ve ayrıca diş ve restorasyon yüzeyine uygulanacak yüzey hazırlık işlemlerinin etkinliğinin tartışılması amaçlanmıştır.

Published: April 2024

The Subak traditional farming system in Bali embodies a harmonious relationship between humans, nature, and spirituality, epitomizing the Balinese philosophy of "Tri Hita Karana." This qualitative study explores the role of the Subak system in the preservation of natural and cultural resources in Bali. Through interviews with Subak farmers, water temple priests, and other stakeholders, as well as participant observation and document analysis, the study examines the ecological functions, cultural significance, and challenges facing the Subak system. The findings reveal that the Subak system plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance, biodiversity, and soil health in Bali's landscapes. Furthermore, the Subak system holds profound cultural significance, serving as a spiritual anchor, fostering community cohesion, and preserving cultural heritage. However, the Subak system faces numerous challenges, including urbanization, water scarcity, and demographic shifts, which threaten its sustainability and resilience. Addressing these challenges requires concerted efforts to protect Subak landscapes, promote traditional farming practices, and empower local communities. By recognizing the holistic value of the Subak system, stakeholders can work together to ensure the preservation of Bali's natural and cultural heritage for future generations.

Authors: Dalm M. , Buxton M. , van Ruitenbeek J.
Published: April 2024

Test work was performed with near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy on 94 ore samples from a South-American Au-Ag mine. The aim of the test work was to investigate if alteration minerals can be detected with the NIR sensor that can be used as indicators of ore value. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was applied to the spectral data to make classification models that use the measured NIR spectra to distinguish samples with certain Au, S or C grades. This showed that detection of mineralogy with NIR spectroscopy can be used to discriminate on i) ore particles with low Au and Ag grades ii) ore particles with high carbon contents iii) ore particles with high sulphide contents.

Authors: Kozhushko Iryna
Published: April 2024

Modern global financial development is characterized by the active use of digital technologies in all areas of financial development. This leads to a change in the conditions and form of financial relationships between individual entities, the provision of financial services to the population. The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the transformation of financial services industry under the influence of digitalization of the economy. The object of the study is Ukraine and some EU countries, the study period is 2011-2021. Based on the results of the bibliometric analysis, a generalization of the content and conceptual features of the study of digitalization of the economy was carried out, the most common directions of its analysis and the main directions of the connection of the digitalization of the economy with individual components of the country’s development (economic development, cyber security, education and business) were determined. This made it possible to determine the most priority areas of influence of digitalization on the transformation of financial relations. An approach to assessing the level of digitalization of the economy, based on taking into account the values of seven indicators: Index of digitization of the economy and society, Index of implementation of digital technologies, Global index of innovations, Index of network readiness, Index of digitization of the economy, Index of global digital competitiveness, Index of quality of digital life has been developed. A sufficiently high level of digitalization of the economy has been proven in most of the analyzed countries. The average value of the integral indicator of digitalization of the economy ranges from 0.83 to 0.85. Austria (0.99), Lithuania and the Czech Republic (0.91) have the highest values, Ukraine (0.71) has the lowest. With the help of the k-means method, a cluster analysis of countries was carried out according to the integral indicator of digitalization of the economy, and four groups of countries were distinguished. The first cluster includes the countries with the highest average values of indicators of digitalization of the economy, and the fourth – the lowest. In addition, the countries of the first cluster have a significantly higher variation of the components of the integral indicator of digitalization of the economy. The fourth cluster includes countries with more stable values of indicators of digitalization of the economy. Thus, the standard deviation of the values of indicators of digitalization of the economy for the countries of the first cluster varies on average within 3.2-5.5, for the countries of the second cluster – 2.8-4.6, for the third cluster – 2.6-3.9, for the fourth cluster – 2.6-3.9 – 1.4-3.0.
Complex Systems in Interdisciplinary Interaction
Authors: Njegovanović Ana
Published: April 2024

Complex systems consist of many components that interact with each other, and nonlinearity is fundamental in the dynamics that arise as a result of the interaction of these components and cannot be studied by observing only a small part of the system. A large number of them make fluctuations an integral part of their dynamics. Through interdisciplinary research, we integrate different disciplines and methodological approaches. We study complexity from different angles through topics that include neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and quantum physics. We have sought to explore these topics that have gained progressive interest in scientific circles as well as outside academic circles, influencing many areas outside academic research. Two goals connect our research. First, theoretical insights from neuroscience, artificial intelligence and quantum physics of the financial stock market. “Financial stock markets are sophisticated machines intertwined with scientific networks” (Ana Negovanović, 2024). They are the core of a system of different blocks that interact on the financial market in an interdisciplinary interaction of the most complex structures, neural networks with interconnected nodes. Second, new technologies- convergence of technologies, new industries, space industry through chaos theory. Investigating the attributes of complex systems is structure. Systems are structured in such a way that some parts of the system are specialized, and systems can naturally be divided into different levels of organization, which should be modeled at different levels of detail. An important component of systems understanding is the ability to break down a system model into its component parts and levels to see how the parts behave and how to connect the parts and levels to understand the overall dynamics and structure of the system. Perhaps one of the most transparent examples of the importance of structure in thinking about complex systems is the space program, where one must equally consider the behavior of individual components and the dynamics of how those components interact with each other.
Smart city planning focused on the US cities in need of policing innovations and public health safety technologies and strategies
Authors: Springs Delores
Published: April 2024

The issue of firearm-related injuries, deaths and crime in the United States is of particular relevance. Every year, about 32,000 lives are lost as a result of firearm-related incidents, including self-inflicted injuries. Other 74,000 people suffer non-fatal gunshot wounds. Addressing this multi-faceted problem is possible through a comprehensive and integrated approach that encompasses public health initiatives, law enforcement efforts, and security measures. In the context of solving this problem, the concepts of “community-oriented policing”, “problem-oriented policing”, “broken windows theory”, “smart city social sustainability initiative” (multi-system improvement and meeting the needs of marginalised residents), “feedback methodology”, etc. are thoroughly considered. The author proposes the strategic deployment of mini-police stations in areas with a high crime rate as proper centres of police visibility and a deterrent to criminals. To realise this task, it is necessary to integrate the latest approaches to Smart Urban Development with innovative urban planning technologies that would increase the influence of law enforcement agencies in the process of protecting public health and safety in cities. In particular, the article proposes the following for implementation: identifying crime hotspots by means of advanced geographic information systems, applying machine learning algorithms to predict future crime trends, using advanced real-time surveillance technologies and firearms detection systems, applying geospatial analysis to optimise patrol routes, dynamically adjusting patrol routes depending on real-time data analytics, deploying mobile command centres. As a result, law enforcement agencies can effectively communicate to potential criminals that their actions will not go unnoticed. They may achieve significant success in improving the overall quality of life of residents in such areas. Also, they will create safer communities, and reduce the number of incidents involving the use of firearms.
An Analysis of the Great Disruption of COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Richardson Kevin
Published: April 2024

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019 led to a global crisis of unprecedented scale and complexity that disrupted almost every aspect of human life. The pandemic has taken people, institutions and governments by surprise, so the impact of the virus has been profound and far-reaching. The rapid and relentless spread of the pandemic has challenged global health systems, strained economies, altered daily routines in educational settings and at work, and tested the resilience of communities worldwide. Different studies have identified vulnerabilities in the world’s ability to respond to health emergencies at the individual and societal levels. This study presents a systematic literature review and theoretical analysis of the disruptions caused by COVID-19 to help formulate strategies that encourage flexibility and resilience in the face of such complex and interconnected disruptions. The article analyzes the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic through the prism of two main theories: the theory of situational crisis communications (type of crisis, its history, responsibility, perceived seriousness, predictable probability, crisis communications strategies, post-crisis reputation), as well as the theory of social learning (learning through observation, modeling and imitation, positive and negative reinforcement in the formation of behavior). In addition, the nature of society’s adaptation to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic is also considered through the prism of the theory of subversive innovations (progress in communication technologies, new methods of remote work and education, the entry of social networks into the business world, the introduction of asynchronous communication). The article summarizes the scientific progress on the following main consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in the workplace, healthcare system, and education. The study provides recommendations on the steps that individuals, institutions and governments can take to increase readiness and ability to adapt to the next crisis (interdisciplinary cooperation, analysis of communication strategies, system analysis). The analysis conducted in the article also made it possible to outline the most promising directions for further qualitative intervention studies (in-depth case studies taking into account the specific context of regions, organizations or communities to identify effective and ineffective policies and practices; qualitative interviews with key stakeholders to understand the intricacies of decision-making in the context of the pandemic crisis); qualitative action studies (building community resilience, collaborative research efforts involving policymakers, health experts and community representatives to develop crisis response policies jointly) and quantitative studies (analysis of pandemic spread, impact of vaccination on disease control, analysis of the economic effects of the pandemic, etc.).

In the 21st century, various socio-economic crises have revealed that traditional economic science and (neo)classical thinking are unable to explain all the complexity of current economic problems, therefore the application of more complex and non-trivial economic concepts is gaining relevance. In addition to behavioral and evolutionary economic thinking, models of quantum economics have been developed in recent years, which allow solving economic problems, using mainly quantum thinking and the principles of quantum physics, in particular particle-wave dualism, the principle of uncertainty, the absence of a subject-object distinction, superposition and confusion. The article addresses 3 research questions (RQ). According to RQ1, the paper finds that quantum economics research is dominated by the following topics: quantum economics, quantum finance, quantum decision making, and quantum game theory. According to these four thematic descriptors, the article carries out a systematic modern review of scientific works in the period from 1978 to 2022 (if only 50 works were published in 1978-1999, then in 2000-2022 already 3430), with an emphasis on the most cited (Google Scholar) English-language journal articles. The analysis showed that articles on this topic are published mainly in journals of a non-economic profile, that the peaks of publication activity occur at times of powerful socio-economic upheavals (for example, the dot.com bubble, the substandard/financial crisis, the European debt crisis, the coronavirus pandemic, etc.). In accordance with RQ2, the article defines the key characteristics of the quantum economic model: in contrast to neoclassical economics (based on mechanistic classical physics, is rational and deterministic, with the help of the invisible hand of the market it leads to a stable equilibrium), the quantum approach, on the contrary, considers the economy as more complex, empirically oriented, uncertain, probabilistic, superpositional, as an archetypal example of a quantum social system that has its own versions of duality, measurement, and entanglement. According to RQ 3, the article determines to what extent quantum economics can update (neo)classical economics (integration of new ontological premises into economic thinking, more experimental and practical approach, connection between the concept of entanglement and sustainable development, management of financial risks based on the concept of quantum probability, rethinking the concept of randomness by quantum probability, introduction of quantum money, equilibrium using quantum games, etc.).

There are food and plant wastes that cause environmental pollution in many countries around the world. Waste materials are one of the most unconscious uses. With the rapid increase in production, consumption and insensitive communities, industrialization and increasing population cause an intense increase in waste. In order to ensure environmental order and balance, waste must be evaluated and reused in recycling facilities. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the important oilseed plants and is also considered a protein source in many countries. According to current scientific reports it is known that peanuts have many biological activities such as anti-cancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Peanut pulp can be used as a raw material source in the production of cellulose fiber products and it can be used in food products, agricultural activities, industry and cosmetics. It is especially common in the recycling field to use it as mulch for plant roots, as natural fertilizer and as chipboard in the field of furniture.

Published: April 2024

O RPG (role-playing game) é um jogo de interpretação de papéis, onde três ou mais jogadores se reúnem e se imaginam nas mais variáveis situações, possíveis ou impossíveis, seguindo regras específicas de acordo com um sistema escolhido, mas tendo liberdade no fantasiar permitindo a vivência de possibilidades infinitas por parte dos jogadores. Assim, a pesquisa visou analisar os fenômenos manifestados no ato de jogar, pelos vieses fenomenológicos e gestálticos, buscando compreender tais manifestações como um exercício de subjetivação que viabiliza crescimento. A pesquisa teve essencialmente como embasamento epistemológico a Fenomenologia e a Gestalt-terapia. A metodologia empregada para coleta e análise dos dados foi a investigação fenomenológica, que consiste em três momentos: a redução fenomenológica, a descrição dos vetores internos ao fenômeno e a interpretação fenomenológica. E teve como resultado o desvelamento dos fenômenos, fenômenos esses, que possibilitam crescimento mediante a fantasia criada.

The present study was carried out in laboratory conditions (25 ± 10°C and 70% humidity) for studying the bioefficacy of entomopathogenic fungi and Bacillus thuringiensis against Spodoptera litura using the leaf dip method. The insecticidal attributes of three different commercial bioinsecticides (Bacillus thuringiensis 0.5% W.P., Beauveria bassiana 1.0% W.P., and Metarhizium anisopliae 1.0% W.P.) at different concentrations (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5%) were evaluated against the 3rd and 4th larval instars of S. litura. The analysis of variance results revealed that the highest concentration (1.5% concentration) of B. thuringiensis against the 3rd instar larvae of S. litura caused a maximum 80 ± 0.28% larval mortality, followed by B. bassiana and M. anisopliae, which caused 72 ± 0.21 and 64 ± 0.20% larval mortality after 120 h exposure. The calculated median lethal concentration in probit analysis demonstrated the lowest median lethal concentration of 1.22/10 larvae (95% fiducial limit 4.71–11.45) in the 3rd instar larvae after 72 h. Similarly, in 4th instar larvae of S. litura, the highest concentration (1.5% concentration) of B. thuringiensis caused maximum 76 ± 0.23% larval mortality, followed by B. bassiana and M. anisopliae, causing 70 ± 0.21% and 64 ± 0.20% larval mortality after 120 h. The calculated median lethal concentration in probit analysis demonstrated the lowest LC50 = 1.59/10 larvae (95% FL: 1.08–2.36) in the 4th instar larvae after 72 h. Based on these studies, it was revealed that B. thuringiensis and B. bassiana showed maximum efficacy against S. litura larvae. Although M. anisopliae also exhibits insecticidal properties, all of these bioinsecticides can be used to manage the population of S. litura. These bioinsecticides can be included in integrated pest management programs as they do not pose any toxic hazards to the environment.

“Cam” rice is a pigmented rice with the purple color that was well known as local cultivar in Tien Giang province (Vietnam). The bran of this rice is usually not properly used; however, it contains rich antioxidants that could be utilized for demanding healthy and nutritional foods. This study is aimed to study the different green and sustainable extraction methods for rice bran’s antioxidants, including microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), ultrasound followed by microwave (U+MAE), microwave followed by ultrasound (M+UAE), and conventional method as the control. The results showed that high extraction efficiency was found when Cam rice bran was extracted with the aid of sustainable extraction techniques such as sonication or microwave. The study also reported that dual synergistic-assisted extraction presented a higher content of bioactive compounds and their antioxidant activities compared with single-assisted extraction. In addition, U+MAE was shown to have a higher capacity to extract and maintain antioxidant activities than M+UAE. This study provides the fundamental information for further application and optimization process of extract of antioxidant compounds from Cam rice bran, as source of antioxidant and nutraceutical ingredient.

The present study investigates total phenolics, flavonoids, and in vitro antioxidant activities in methanol extracts of roots, stems, leaves, and fruits of medicinal herbs (Phyllanthus fraternus G.L. Webster; Bhui-amla and Solanum nigrum L.; Makoi or black nightshade) of Indo-Gangetic plains of India. The results showed that biochemical attributes of methanol extracts of both the tested plants varied significantly with sites (P < 0.05). Contents of total phenolics and flavonoids and antioxidant properties were found highest in fruits followed by leaf, stem, and least in root of P. fraternus and leaves, fruits, stem, and roots of S. nigrum plants. The present investigation revealed that total phenolic content in fruits of P. fraternus ranged from 26.69 to 61.48 mg GAE/g fw and from 8.89 to 24.69 mg GAE/g fw in leaves of S. nigrum plants, and thus, these plant parts can be promoted for pharmaceutical purposes and health benefits. It is also suggested that the individual phenolic compound in the different parts of tested plants should be analyzed to identify their elite population for their mass cultivation, conservation, and sustainable utilization.

The large electric dipole moment of the Rydberg atom allows for strong coupling with weak electric fields, and is widely used in electric field measurements because of its reproducibility, precision and stability. The combination of Rydberg atoms and electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) technology has been used for detecting and characterizing radio-frequency (RF) electric fields.

In this work, by selecting probe light (852 nm), dressed light (1470 nm), and coupled light (780 nm), the Rydberg state (49P3/2) of Cs atom is prepared by using a three-photon excitation scheme through using all-infrared light excitation of Rydberg atoms. We experimentally observe the EIT spectra of the Rydberg states decorated by radio-frequency electric fields, which optically detects Rydberg atoms. The effect of the amplitude and frequency of the RF electric field on the spectrum is explored in light of changes in the EIT spectrum. The results show that in the region of weak electric field, only the ac Stark energy shift and spectral broadening occur. As the electric field is further enhanced, the sideband phenomenon occurs in both the primary peak and secondary peak of the EIT. In the region of strong field, the Rydberg energy level produces a series of Floquet states with higher-order terms, as well as state shifting and mixing, resulting in asymmetry in the spectra of the EIT sideband peaks. The effect of frequency on the shielding effect of the Cs vapor cell is further discussed based on the shift of the main peak of the EIT.

The demodulation of the electric field in a range of 50 Hz–1 kHz with a fidelity of 95% is achieved by modulating the low-frequency electric field to the RF electric field. The results can provide valuable references for spectral detection and traceable measurements of low-frequency electric fields.

Neonatal meningitis is a devastating disease associated with high mortality and neurological sequelae. Escherichia coli is the second most common cause of neonatal meningitis in full-term infants (herein NMEC) and the most common cause of meningitis in preterm neonates. Here, we investigated the genomic relatedness of a collection of 58 NMEC isolates spanning 1974–2020 and isolated from seven different geographic regions. We show NMEC are comprised of diverse sequence types (STs), with ST95 (34.5%) and ST1193 (15.5%) the most common. No single virulence gene profile was conserved in all isolates; however, genes encoding fimbrial adhesins, iron acquisition systems, the K1 capsule, and O antigen types O18, O75, and O2 were most prevalent. Antibiotic resistance genes occurred infrequently in our collection. We also monitored the infection dynamics in three patients that suffered recrudescent invasive infection caused by the original infecting isolate despite appropriate antibiotic treatment based on antibiogram profile and resistance genotype. These patients exhibited severe gut dysbiosis. In one patient, the causative NMEC isolate was also detected in the fecal flora at the time of the second infection episode and after treatment. Thus, although antibiotics are the standard of care for NMEC treatment, our data suggest that failure to eliminate the causative NMEC that resides intestinally can lead to the existence of a refractory reservoir that may seed recrudescent infection.
Structural analysis of the dynamic ribosome-translocon complex

The protein translocon at the endoplasmic reticulum comprises the Sec61 translocation channel and numerous accessory factors that collectively facilitate the biogenesis of secretory and membrane proteins. Here, we leveraged recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and structure prediction to derive insights into several novel configurations of the ribosome-translocon complex. We show how a transmembrane domain (TMD) in a looped configuration passes through the Sec61 lateral gate during membrane insertion; how a nascent chain can bind and constrain the conformation of ribosomal protein uL22; and how the translocon-associated protein (TRAP) complex can adjust its position during different stages of protein biogenesis. Most unexpectedly, we find that a large proportion of translocon complexes contains RAMP4 intercalated into Sec61’s lateral gate, widening Sec61’s central pore and contributing to its hydrophilic interior. These structures lead to mechanistic hypotheses for translocon function and highlight a remarkably plastic machinery whose conformations and composition adjust dynamically to its diverse range of substrates.

In birds and insects, females uptake sperm for a specific duration post-copulation known as the ejaculate holding period (EHP) before expelling unused sperm and the mating plug through sperm ejection. Our study uncovered that encountering males or mated females after mating substantially shortens EHP, a phenomenon we term ‘

hortening (MIES)’. MIES requires Or47b+ olfactory and ppk23+ gustatory neurons, activated by 2-methyltetracosane and 7-Tricosene, respectively. These odorants raise cAMP levels in pC1 neurons, responsible for processing male courtship and regulating female mating receptivity. Elevated cAMP levels in pC1 neurons reduce EHP and reinstate their responsiveness to male courtship cues, promoting re-mating with faster sperm ejection. This study establishes MIES as a genetically tractable model of sexual plasticity with a conserved neural mechanism.Sexual plasticity, adapting reproductive behaviors to social changes, was explored in the fruit fly, a genetically tractable model insect. Findings revealed that inseminated females, encountering another courting male post-mating, shorten the ejaculate holding period (EHP). Specific olfactory and gustatory pathways regulating this phenomenon were identified, converging on the pC1 neurons in the brain-a conserved neural circuit regulating female mating activity. Odors associated with EHP shortening increased the second messenger cAMP. The elevated cAMP transiently heightened the excitability of pC1 neurons, enabling inseminated females to promptly remove the male ejaculate and engage in the subsequent mating more readily. This study establishes a behavioral model for sexual plasticity and provide a framework for understanding the involved neural processes.
