The Southern Ocean Hub for Nutrients, Micronutrients, and Their Isotopes in the Global Ocean
Authors:   ETH Zurich, de Souza Gregory , Morrison Adele
Published: May 2024

The sustenance of marine primary productivity depends on the supply of macro- and micronutrients to photosynthesizers in the ocean’s sunlit surface. Without supply from the deep, sinking particles would deplete the upper ocean of these vital elements within decades. Over the last 20 years, it has been recognized that the Southern Ocean, where nutrient-rich deep waters are brought to the surface and the water masses that fill much of the upper ocean are formed, plays a pivotal role in replenishing upper-ocean nutrients. Photosynthesizers that grow and take up nutrients within the Southern Ocean circulation “hub” thus have an outsize influence on global-​scale distributions of macronutrients and many micronutrients. The GEOTRACES program has contributed observations of the concentration and stable isotope composition of “nutrient-​type” metals like zinc, cadmium, and nickel, within the Southern Ocean and beyond it, that are driving a sea change in our understanding of their marine cycles. Simultaneously, our understanding of Southern Ocean circulation has been refined, with recognition of the importance of longitudinal variability and subtropical overturning. Here, we aim to bring together these two strands of progress, review insights gained into marine micronutrient cycling, and consider the questions that remain to be resolved.

Authors: Suzan Leny , Mutiah Noraini Fairuth
Published: May 2024

It is critical to keep financial reporting accurate since it impacts company strategy, confidence from investors and stakeholders, ability to make strategic decisions, availability of funds, and management of reputation. Examining property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2018 and 2022, this study seeks to ascertain the effects of company size, intellectual capital, and independent commissioners on the accuracy of their financial statements. This study used descriptive statistics and regression panel data to analyze its data. Independent commissioners, intellectual capital, and company size all have a role in how trustworthy financial statements are, according to the research. The credibility of a company's financial accounts is unaffected by its size. The firm's stance is heavily influenced by intellectual capital, whereas independent commissioners significantly hinder it.

Authors: Helvaci Mehmet Rami , Cayir Saziye , Halici Hulya , Sevinc Alper , Camci Celaletdin , Abyad Abdulrazak , Pocock Lesley
Published: May 2024

Background: Sickle cell diseases (SCD) are severe inflammatory processes in the vasculature mainly on capillary endothelium since they are the main distributors of hardened red blood cells into the tissues. On the other hand, aging and male gender alone may be the most significant underlying risk factors of the systemic atherosclerosis since male gender lives about seven years shorter than female gender worldwide. Methods: All patients with the SCD were included into the study. Results: The study included 222 males and 212 females with similar mean ages (30.8 versus 30.3 years, p>0.05). Smoking (p<0.001), alcohol (p<0.001), disseminated teeth losses (p<0.001), ileus (p<0.001), cirrhosis (p<0.001), leg ulcers (p<0.001), digital clubbing (p<0.001), coronary heart disease (CHD) (p<0.05), chronic renal disease (CRD) (p<0.05), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (p<0.001), and stroke (p<0.05) were all higher in male gender. Interestingly, mean ages of stroke (33.5 years), COPD (33.6 years), clubbing (35.4 years), CHD (35.7 years), cirrhosis (37.0 years), and CRD (39.4 years) were the highest among the other atherosclerotic consequences. Conclusion: Smoking, alcohol, disseminated teeth losses, ileus, cirrhosis, leg ulcers, digital clubbing, CHD, CRD, COPD, and stroke-like atherosclerotic risk factors or terminal endpoints were all higher in male gender with the SCD. Since aging alone may be the major associated factor of the systemic atherosclerosis, stroke, COPD, digital clubbing, CHD, cirrhosis, and CRD may be the terminal endpoints of systemic atherosclerotic processes in human body since the mean ages of the above pathologies were the highest among the other atherosclerotic consequences in the SCD. Key words: Sickle cell diseases, atherosclerosis, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, digital clubbing, coronary heart disease, cirrhosis, chronic renal disease
ENGLISHVR: USO DE REALIDADE VIRTUAL NO ENSINO DA LÍNGUA INGLESA NAS ESCOLAS DE ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL ESTADUAL BRASILEIRO
Authors: Calderan Marina Zeni Oliveira Marques , Furquim Cintia Camargo , Siscoutto Robson Augusto
Published: May 2024

The teaching of the English language is one of the fundamental pillars in the educational formation of students in today's world. The practice of the language contributes to the development of communication and expression skills, in addition to promoting interculturality and access to entertainment and study media. However, Brazilian schools predominantly employ the traditional teaching method, which relies on learning through grammatical rules and literal translations. This method is monotonous and repetitive, having as a consequence the demotivation of students with the discipline. Therefore, the application of technologies in education, such as virtual reality, increases students' interest in learning through interactive activities that encourage creativity and fun, improving the quality of education, absorption of content and their cognitive skills. This work presents a virtual reality tool that offers interactive three-dimensional virtual environments with the aim of assisting in the teaching and learning of English language for Brazilian elementary school students. The virtual environments were evaluated by the project researchers through a specific usability questionnaire for this type of environment, obtaining a final average of 4.53 out of 5.0, being considered suitable for future use in classrooms.

Die Kalifats-Utopie des IS und ihre religiöse Rechtfertigung
Authors: Hummel Johannes
Published: May 2024

Is the Islamic State (IS), as Barack Obama claimed, neither Islamic nor a state? This paper strives to un-derstand not only the political, but also the religious motives of IS and its supporters, to take them seri-ously and to examine them critically. Why were tens of thousands of Muslims willing to fight and even to die for a caliphate in the 21st century? The answer to this question can be found in the IS propaganda magazines Dabiq and Rumiyah. In order to assess the caliphate utopia described in these magazines, it is necessary to study the political dimension of Islam and the historical caliphates, as well as the arguments of Islamic scholars who criticise the IS’s goals and the religious reasoning.
The Camp

Published: May 2024

Refugee and migrant camps have become the default solution to situations of displacement. Millions of people live in thousands of camps around the world. Far from being a short-term emergency solution, many people spend years or decades in camps. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the international human rights framework applicable to refugee and migrant camps. It identifies the legal limits and room for manoeuvre of both civilian relief organisations and States, thus providing a better legal understanding of complex camp operations under extreme conditions in the context of international human rights law. Ulf Uhlmannsiek is a Senior Policy Advisor and a graduate of the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder).
Government Sponsored Community-Based Health Extension Program Enhancing Contraceptive Provision in Southern Ethiopia: An Interpretive Phenomenological Exploration
Authors: Alano Abraham , Hanson Lori
Published: May 2024

Albeit the government efforts improving access to contraception through health extension programs in Ethiopia, gaps exhibited on experiences of the stakeholder about the basis on services provision. Therefore, perceptions about the enablers and rationale for contraceptive service were explored. Interpretative phenomenological design was employed to explore the lived experiences of stakeholders. Focus group discussions, individual in-depth interviews, and key informant interviews were employed for data collection. Data were analyzed using interpretive phenomenological analysis. The finding indicated that contraceptive service provision from the socio-economic perspectives was understood adequately, but the human rights-based rationale was shadowed. The contribution of the health extension program for contraceptive use has been remarkable. The improvement is attributed to the alignment of primary health care with the community organizations such as women development armies. The health extension program accelerated contraceptive service and given momentum for PHC. Women revealed encouraging involvement in the process of contraceptive service access and use. However, the bigger picture, and rationale for providing contraceptive services, the human rights approach, remained elusive at lower hierarchy. Hence, the study recommends that the disconnect in the broader premises of providing contraceptive services must be properly communicated across the stakeholders.
Retinal Mechanical Sensation
Authors: Pang Ji-Jie
Published: May 2024

Retinal neurons process light signals and respond to mechanical signals. mechanosensitive channels (MSCs) have been revealed in all retinal layers in humans, monkeys, mice, rats, porcine, salamanders, goldfish, etc. Some MSCs open in physiological conditions to regulate membrane potential, light responses, and neurotransmitter release, and some MSCs can mediate neurodegenerative effects. Alterations in the intraocular and external pressure critically involve the pathogenesis of glaucoma, traumatic retinal injury (TRI), and other retinal disorders. Our team revealed several MSCs in the outer and inner retinal neurons and first reported the pressure-evoked current and voltage response in salamander photoreceptors and primate bipolar cells. It is still unclear how retinal light pathways deal with endogenous and exogenous mechanical stimulation, and the physiological and pathological significance for retinal neurons to express multiple types of MSCs is not fully understood. This chapter will focus on the variety and functions of MSCs permeable to K+, Na+, and Ca2+, primarily including the big potassium channel (BK), two-pore domain potassium channel TRAAK and TREK, Piezo, epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), transient receptor potential channel vanilloid (TRPV) TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV4, etc., in retinal photoreceptors, bipolar cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells, and ganglion cells.
Weekly Afatinib in the Treatment of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer with EGFR-G719C Mutation Followed by Lobectomy: A Case Report
Authors: Xuan Ho Dung , Thien Phan Long , Manh Vuong Hung , Nguyen Dang Kha
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Lung cancer stands as the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Over the past three decades, the advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has marked a significant turning point in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR mutations. Notably, high response rates have been observed in cases with exon 19 deletions (Del19) and Exon 21 substitution L858R mutations. Conversely, the G719X mutation on exon 18 is less prevalent, with variable sensitivity across different generations of TKIs. Afatinib, a second-generation inhibitor, gained FDA approval for the initial treatment of EGFR-mutant metastatic NSCLC in 2013, though its role remains incompletely understood within a multidisciplinary treatment framework, particularly in combination with surgery. However, the standard daily dose of 40mg Afatinib has demonstrated poor tolerability, often resulting in adverse events such as diarrhea and skin toxicity, leading to treatment discontinuation. A recent strategy involving a weekly dose of 280mg Afatinib has shown promising outcomes and a reduced risk of adverse events. Case Presentation: This case report highlights a 50 - year-old female diagnosed with stage IVa right lung adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the left lung (cT3N0M1a), revealing the rare EGFR-G719C (exon18) mutation. Following this diagnosis, the patient underwent open lobectomy. Nine months post-surgery, a treatment approach involving 280mg weekly Afatinib was initiated. Subsequently, the patient was closely monitored for 16 months with no signs of recurrence. Conclusions: EGFR G719C exhibits sensitivity to Afatinib, endorsing the use of Afatinib with fewer adverse events compared to the traditional daily dosage. Our case further advocates for collaborative strategies between medical oncologists and surgeons in the management of advanced-stage NSCLC.
Antibiotic Susceptibility of Klebsiella pneumonia Isolates from Hospitalized Patients in Three Referral Medical Centers in Isfahan, Iran
Authors: Mostafavi Esfahani Sayed Nassereddin , Rostami Soodabeh , Astaraki Abtin
Published: May 2024

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is a major cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections (CAIs). Understanding the antibiotic susceptibility of this bacterium is essential for selecting the most effective antibiotic for associated infections. Objectives: We investigated the sensitivity of K. pneumonia (KP) isolates obtained from inpatients in Isfahan, Iran. Methods: Organism identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing were conducted using standard tests. Stratification was performed based on extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production and the source of infection acquisition (community versus hospital). Results: A total of 437 KP isolates were investigated, of which 5.5% were pan drug resistant (PDR), 56.8% were extensively drug resistant (XDR), and 18% were ESBL producers. The isolates were most susceptible to colistin (100%), aminoglycosides (62.8%), and carbapenems (55%). Nosocomial isolates showed lower sensitivity to most of the examined antibiotics. Conclusions: The high prevalence of PDR and XDR KP strains in hospitalized patients is a major problem in the studied area.

Authors: Tambunsaribu Gunawan , Masda Surti Simatupang
Published: May 2024

Before the COVID-19 pandemic which broke out in early 2020, most of the classes in many universities in Indonesia were conducted offline (traditional classes). After the outbreak of COVID-19, most institutions had to do online teaching-learning due to government policies to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Both students and educators realized that online learning was effective for them to fulfill the learning outcomes. In early 2023, many institutions in many countries started to conduct face-to-face classes again due to the decrease of the coronavirus spread. This research aims to find out the perspective of the students in the Translation class in both online and offline classes, before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The researchers want to find out the solutions that both the students and the lecturers suggest for a better method of conducting a Translation course. This research uses a descriptive qualitative research method. The data are taken from the interview session and the questionnaires. The respondents are the students and lecturers of Translation courses at Universitas Kristen Indonesia and Universitas Gunadarma. This research found that the online teaching and learning process is effective for students and educators.

Cybernetic or Machinic Ecology? Guattari’s Parting Ways with Bateson
Authors: Wielen Julie Van der ,   International Association for Environmental Philosophy
Published: May 2024

In this article, I examine the relation between Bateson and Guattari’s ecological thoughts: two thinkers whose ecological ideas at first sight have a lot in common. In order to show the difference between the thoughts of both thinkers, I will take my clue from Guattari’s remark that he parts ways with Bateson on the role of context. Explaining the role of context in both authors will allow me to show how Guattari’s thought implies both an endorsement and a critique of cybernetics, and, specifically, promoting a machinic rather than cybernetic ecology. I will conclude by indicating what is at stake in this distinction.

CULTURE DEPENDENT ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ENDOPHYTES
Authors: Manoj Anjitha , P, M Arundathi
Published: May 2024

Plants have been exploited for medicinal purposes since time immemorial and today, man is faced with an emerging, immediate need to find alternate sources for the development of novel drugs due to both the overexploitation of plant wealth and the development of antibiotic resistance in microbes. Dawn of novel viruses such as SARS-CoV2, bringing the all-powerful human world to a standstill at times, are also only adding fuel to this burning global concern. Endophytes are those groups of organisms that inhabit plants in an apparent symbiotic relationship and are reported to have a direct or indirect role in the production of various secondary metabolites. These secondary metabolites show many similarities to those produced in plants and are proven to have a significant role in the plant‘s pharmacognostic, stress-tolerant and growth-promoting properties. The metabolites produced by endophytes can be used to develop drugs through more eco-friendly means, wherein the exploitation of the plant wealth will be minimal and drug development will be much quicker. Numerous reports have been put forward suggesting the capability of endophytes as a potential crop improvement tool. The frequent use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers has had a marked impact on soil health which calls for biocontrol agents such as endophytes to tackle the problem. Endophytes can thus be potential candidates for novel innovations leading to agricultural and medicinal field improvements. The isolation, identification and characterization of endophytes are of paramount importance in the current scenario

India is under pressure to reduce its GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions into the atmosphere as a result of its climate change. The industrialized world bears the majority of the responsibility for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, even though it is anticipated that developing nations will contribute an increasing share of future emissions. The impact would be particularly severe in tropical areas, where developed countries like India. I. The effects of greenhouse gas emissions on climate change are currently worsening than we could have predicted ten years ago. India, a developing nation, was unable to implement any strategies due to its focus on social and economic growth. In the western Liaoning Province, which is in the northern hemisphere, this research focuses on examining the energy resources and precipitation trends in the context of global warming over the past 60 years

Luffa vegetables are one of the important cucurbitaceous vegetable crops enriched with several nutritional and medicinal properties. The genus Luffa comprises of several species among which Luffa acutangula and Luffa cylindrica are the important domesticated species that are most common and popular under commercial cultivation throughout the World. Such vegetables are rich source of vitamin A, calcium, phosphorous, ascorbic acid, iron and found to be helpful in treating several diseases including diabetes, hypertension, inflammatory diseases, diarrhoea and several viral infections. The rapidly increasing human population is triggering a number of challenges including the food demand. Luffa vegetables being one of the important cucurbitaceous vegetable crop that play a vital role in fulfilling the vegetable demand also seems to be affected by such prevailing conditions. Due to such sudden rise in demand and prevalence of several biotic and abiotic stresses for successful cultivation, conventional breeding methods are found to be sterile to combat such complications. Therefore, there is a need of advancement in crop improvement technique or method at advance level including molecular breeding with major emphasis on development of high yielding superior varieties/hybrids, resistant to different biotic and abiotic stresses, containing good nutritive value, adaptable to different environment conditions, etc. which ultimately favours improvement of crop in different aspects Thus, this chapter deals with the recent methods or technologies opted for successful crop improvement in Luffa vegetables till date with recent achievements for fruitful cultivation

Conventional breeding using the old techniques of transgenesis produced successful outcomes. Modern cultivars, however, requires an increasing number of mixed features, necessitating prebreeding techniques with wild species. To eliminate linkage drag in introgression and translocation breeding, timeconsuming backcrosses and simultaneous selection procedures are needed. Use of cisgenesis with traditional sources of genetic variation can speed up the crop breeding. This is particularly true for heterozygous, vegetatively propagated crops and allopolyploids. As a result, the second/ever green revolution based on cisgenesis is what India needs to address the problems with yield security, quality characteristics, and nutritious vegetables and fruits
BIOSAFETY REGULATIONS AND LEGISLATIONS OF TRANSGENICS IN INDIA AND ABROAD

The crops that are produced by transferring the genes from one organism to others through genetic engineering is known as transgenic crop or genetically engineered crops. The primary challenge facing the globe is to supply nutritious food because of the alarming rate of population growth. An estimate says that all over the world 800 million people are facing malnutrition problems among these 98% belong to developing Nations (Sinha et al.,2019). Apart from this around 2 billion people globally suffer from hidden hunger because of improper supply of vital micronutrients in their day-to-day diet. This is ultimately affecting their physical and mental development which is very dangerous for the future of a country. An economic and feasible solution to this problem is to produce a transgenic crop known as a biofortified crop and gives biofortified food to the populations. Through the production of biofuels or fuel blending, GM crops minimize the need for pesticides, and the use of agricultural fossil fuels, and potentially cut world fossil fuel use by up to 65%. Developing countries like India spent a humungous amount of money (spent USD 119.2 billons in 2021- 22) importing fossil fuels. Nowadays due to Russia Ukraine war, the crude oil price is hiking exponentially due to which the whole economy of Asia Pacific countries, especially Indian subcontinental countries like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, etc., is on the verge of collapse. In light of this, the Indian government has unveiled a new biofuel strategy with the illustrative goal of mixing 20% ethanol and 5% diesel by 2030. This may be done by cultivating high-yielding transgenic biofuel plants, producing new or improved feedstock, upgrading biofuel production processes, and creating advanced biofuels. Generating enzymes and microorganisms for better biofuel yields, etc. Cost-effective biofuel technology can also be made in these ways. Genetically modified crops are also used to reduce the use of pesticides in agriculture Crops in first-generation transaction crops are developed only due to this purpose. The ISAA survey found that 29 nations worldwide were cultivating about 189.5 M/hect. of GM crops, with 5 of those countries being industrialized (making contributions 44% of the overall) and 24 being developing (contributing 56% of the total). The USA top the list with total coverage of 71.5 million hectares followed by Brazil and Argentina in second and third position. India ranked fifth which a total plantation of 11.9 million hectares of transgenic crops. Although this technology full-fill the greatest challenge associated with the increasing population economically and feasibly, with the use of this technique, new gene or genome sequences may be introduced into nature which may cause potentially harmful effects on human health, the environment, and other non-target species and biological diversity. This may cause serious biosafety concerns
