Authors: Ghorbani Behzad , Oliyaee Saeedeh , Sehat Zahra
Published: May 2023

Background: Abortion is a problem with which all societies are dealing all over the world, having psycho-social consequences. The aim of the present study is to investigate the anxiety and coping style between successful pregnancy and non-successful pregnancy regarding recurrent abortion
Methods: 50 women of 20-45, into 5 to 20 weeks of pregnancy, with at least 2 recurrent abortions were surveyed at Avicenna infertility center in Tehran, Iran. Kattel Anxiety and Lazarus Stress questionnaires were completed, and the outcome of pregnancies was followed up. All data analysis was performed by SPSS 22 software.
Results: In this study, 32 women successfully passed the 20th week, and 18 women had a miscarriage. The mean score of anxiety in women with recurrent abortion with unsuccessful pregnancies was 12.56 (SD = 1.886) and with successful pregnancies, it was 7.38 (SD = 2.780). The mean score of anxiety for unknown abortion was 12.21, and for immunological, abortion was 6.89. 8.48 were related to abortion because of other reasons. 33% of the variance in stress coping strategy was related to women with recurrent abortion. The anxiety level of women suffering from recurrent miscarriages in secondary recurrent miscarriage (11.67) was higher than primary abortion (7.88). There was a difference between the anxiety of women suffering from recurrent miscarriages and a history of four miscarriages and two miscarriages. This was statistically significant (P < 0.0005).
Conclusion: The anxiety level of pregnant women that have recurrent abortion history and abortion outcome is more than they have successful pregnancies outcome. Therefore, anxiety can be considered one of the factors influencing recurrent abortion. Therefore, anxiety can be considered one of the factors influencing recurrent abortion.

Authors: Heydari Majid , Nouri Mohammad , Niaei Amir Maziar
Published: May 2023

Background: Cancer leads to fear and anxiety and reduces mental health in patients soon after its diagnosis. Hence, it is imperative to examine therapeutic steps toward promoting the psychological conditions of these patients. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy (PPT) on the psychological well-being and hope of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: The study was a single-blind clinical trial with a pretest-posttest design with experimental and control groups. The statistical population included all patients referring to Taleghani Hospital of Tehran in 2020. Thirty patients were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group learned PPT in six sessions held once a week and the control group received no intervention. Demographic forms, Ryff's psychological well-being scale (RPWBS-18), and Snyder’s hope scale (SHS-12) were used to collect data, which were analyzed by the Chi-square and ANCOVA tests run in the SPSS-20 software.
Results: The results showed that PPT enhanced psychological well-being (F = 9.29) and hope (F = 8.28) among patients with cancer (P<0.01). Moreover, the effect size of the PPT was 29% for psychological well-being and 27% for hope.
Conclusion: The PPT is effective in promoting the psychological health of cancer patients. Thus, this cost-effective therapy can be used in healthcare centers to promote the psychological health of these patients.

Background: Medical assistants spend numerous hours of their day in the work environment, which may influence their performance. Empathy with the patients has a significant impact on the treatment process. This study was conducted among residents of different medical disciplines to determine self-efficacy in inter professional collaboration and empathy in dealing with the patients.
Methods:  This was a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study on all medical residents at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences. Data was collected via the following questionnaires: demographic (including age, gender, marital status, year of study, and specialty), Jefferson’s scale of empathy, self-efficacy, and Hagemeier’s interring professional collaboration.
Results: Of the 162 questionnaires distributed, 135 were received (response rate = 83.33%). The mean age and work experience were 31.42 ± 4.56 and 2.70 ± 4.18 years, respectively. Self-efficacy scores in inter professional cooperation and teamwork was at a good level and empathy scores were at a moderate level. There was a significant relationship between marital status and self-efficacy (p = 0.03). Empathy was related to medical residents’ level of interest in their field (p = 0.019). There was no gender difference in empathy (p = 0.77) and self-efficacy scores (p = 0.36). However, males had higher inter professional communication scores compared to females (p = 0.001). Psychiatric residents had the highest and orthopedic residents had the lowest scores in empathy with the patients, empathic patient care, and emotional separation. 
Conclusion: This study showed that medical residents had an acceptable level of self-efficacy and empathy, which differed among medical fields. Similar studies should be conducted to therefore assemble an educational program for medical residents to increase empathic patient care and achieve inter professional cooperation goals.

Las cambiantes formas de sociabilidad y de construcción de identidades en Lima metropolitana
Authors: Aranda Dioses Edith
Published: May 2023

Lima ofrece hoy la imagen de varias «ciudades» a su interior. Entre ellas tiene lugar una fragmentación sociocultural, expresada en distintas formas de sociabilidad y nuevos sentidos de pertenencia. Estas «ciudades» se comunican entre sí y se conectan con el mundo globalizado a través de los medios de comunicación masiva, y por medios virtuales. La metrópoli constituye así un «espacio comunicacional». Tomamos en cuenta los referentes materiales, simbólicos y comunicacionales que han transformado las formas de sociabilidad y la construcción de identidades en el escenario urbano de Lima.

Repertorios culturales y estrategias de acción. Reflexiones desde la perspectiva de la “cultura en movimiento”
Authors: Santos Martín
Published: May 2023

Desarrollos teóricos recientes buscan dar cuenta del carácter dinámico de los fenómenos culturales. En este artículo se presentan las ideas principales del enfoque de la «cultura en movimiento». Los investigadores guiados por esta perspectiva tratan de entender cómo la cultura es movilizada por los actores sociales en respuesta a circunstancias cambiantes. La cultura va a ser concebida como un repertorio de capacidades para actuar. En la primera parte de este artículo se discuten los planteamientos de Ann Swidler y Charles Tilly; en la segunda, se ponen a prueba estas ideas para entender fenómenos sociales del caso peruano tales como las estrategias de sobrevivencia, la movilidad social, y la ciudadanía, entre otros. Este análisis sugiere que los repertorios culturales con los cuales los peruanos construyen estrategias de acción se han diversificado en las últimas décadas. Se trata de repertorios flexibles que combinan formas establecidas y formas inéditas de resolver problemas.
El enmarcado de la mente: análisis de una clave central de la visión del poder de Manuel Castells
Authors: Torres Esteban
Published: May 2023

En el presente artículo analizamos de modo sistemático y pormenorizado un aspecto central de la perspectiva sociológica contemporánea del poder de Manuel Castells: la cuestión del enmarcado o modelado de la mente. El estudio nos permitirá descubrir, principalmente, la proliferación de un discurso edificado a partir de dos operaciones teóricas ocultadas por el autor: la postulación de una lógica de imposición como lógica excluyente del poder y del poder de enmarcado, y la separación entre el poder y las mentes. Demostramos que tal discurso encarna un movimiento contradictorio en tanto asume con frecuencia una forma marcadamente ideológica que tiende a enmascarar las operaciones mencionadas. La apropiación que efectúa Castells de la teoría de Entman, su fuente teórica principal en este caso, aporta pruebas significativas para evidenciar tales hallazgos.
Estudiantes peruanos y el autorreconocimiento de su poder público: ¿cuánto influye la educación universitaria?
Authors: Stojnic Chávez Lars
Published: May 2023

La literatura especializada asocia diversas actitudes consideradas importantes para garantizar la legitimidad democrática, como la disposición hacia la participación política con el reconocimiento de la ciudadanía sobre sus posibilidades de ejercer influencia en la esfera pública. A su vez, se destaca que, a mayor cantidad de años de estudios formales —particularmente de educación superior—, mayores los niveles de dicha actitud, conocida como eficacia política interna. Propongo ahondar en el análisis de los mecanismos educativos que podrían explicar dicha relación, cuestionando para el contexto peruano si es que acumular años de educación superior resulta suficiente para comprenderla. Partiendo del análisis de una encuesta aplicada a estudiantes de una universidad privada peruana, y aprovechando modelos de regresión múltiple, se analiza si es que más semestres de estudios en la educación universitaria influiría en el desarrollo de mayores niveles de eficacia política interna, o si la experiencia en un curso orientado a interpelar a los estudiantes sobre el ejercicio de su ciudadanía tendría mayor relevancia.Los resultados indican, para la muestra seleccionada, que lo segundo tendría un efecto positivo y significativo en su autorreconocimiento como sujetos de poder desde una perspectiva democrática, a diferencia de la influencia del número de semestres académicos acumulados.
REMOTE SENSING IN BIOMETEOROLOGY
Authors:   “Henri Coandă” Air Force Academy, Braşov, Romania, TUDOR Alexandru
Published: May 2023

Remote sensing is a powerful tool used in biometeorology to study the interactions between the atmosphere and living organisms, particularly plants. Through satellite-based sensors, researchers can observe and analyze a range of biophysical parameters related to vegetation, such as leaf area index, biomass, vegetation cover, and land surface temperature. This data can be used to estimate plant growth, productivity, and water use efficiency, as well as monitor environmental conditions, such as drought, heat stress, and air pollution. Remote sensing is used in the development of crop models for agricultural management and to study the impact of climate change on plant communities and ecosystems. By tracking changes in vegetation cover and productivity, as well as changes in phenology, remote sensing helps researchers identify optimal planting times, irrigation schedules, and predict crop yields.

The University as Organizer provides Project Related Courses and complementary Project Organized Learning. The research was oriented towards the customized design of a drone able to efficiently achieve the objective. The benefits of the research project are related mainly to the potential applications of the drone, with a good effect to cost ratio and to allowing the students to subsequently acquire valuable professional knowledge and experience from this research project
SOLVING THE BILEVEL LINEAR PROGRAMMING PROBLEM USING THE MONTE CARLO METHOD
Authors:   Technical University of Civil Engineering of Bucharest, Romania, CONSTANTINESCU Ștefania , MIERLUȘ-MAZILU Ion ,   Technical University of Civil Engineering of Bucharest, Romania
Published: May 2023

In this paper we propose to use the "Monte Carlo" method for solving bilevel linear programming (the bilevel linear programming problem – BLP problem). In the BLP problem, each decision maker tries to optimize their own objective function without considering the objective of the other party, but the decision of each party affects the objective value of the other party as the decision space. The existing methods for solving the BLP problem can be grouped into four categories: a) methods based on vertices enumeration; b) methods based on Kuhn-Tuck conditions; c) the fuzzy approach; d) metaheuristics methods. Starting from Gnedenko's theorem, this paper uses the "Monte Carlo" method to determine an approximate solution for the BLP problem. The numerical example presents the performance of the proposed approach.
Inter-phrase valence and text relativity
Authors:   Baku Slavic University, Babashova Khalida Alabbas gizi
Published: May 2023

The article examines the formal and semantic relationship of sentences with each other in the structure of the text. Here we consider the concept of inter-sentence valence, that is, the ability of sentences within the text to connect with each other. The semantic completeness of this or that sentence makes the connection of sentences more clear. Between sentences valence is conditioned by the presence of language tools that indicate logical connections between sentences. In the sentence, the word and word combinations that do not belong to the means of communication between sentences, such as elements that require the formation of valence, are interpreted. In the text, the inter-sentence valence of question sentences and meta-sentences is analyzed from a semantic functional point of view. Between sentences, the characteristic features of valence that distinguish it from valence formed at other language levels are determined. Inter-sentence valence has the sign of determining the realizable structural properties of the text. Left-sided and right-sided interjections are described as valence, depending on whether they are in the previous and next text. Close and distant sentences between valence, active and passive sentences between valence, necessary and optional sentences between valence is studied. Inter-sentence valence performs the function of the text from the text, providing the meaning and structural relations of the text.
Invective transformations in contemporary mass media communication
Authors:   Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Muzykant Valerii L.
Published: May 2023

This material is devoted to the use of trash writing and the use of profanity in the era of digitalization, the reasons for its appearance are identified, and the negative consequences of its use in everyday life are analyzed. Invective vocabulary is unprintable swearing, obscene language, profanity, which came from the lower strata of the language. Foul language, invective vocabulary and phraseology are often expressed as in a spontaneous speech reaction to an unexpected and unpleasant situation, and intentionally as a trash-writing tool. The purpose of the article is to analyze the use of profanity in modern media, to identify the reasons for its appearance, about the alleged benefits of its use. The main task is to consider the features of the invective linguistic transformation of global communication in new media.
Review of four scientific publications by M.A. Sholokhov published by Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2022)
Authors:   Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Tyurina Elena А.
Published: May 2023

The article reviews four scientific works on the work of M.A. Sholokhov, prepared by scientists of A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Taking into account all the principles of textual science of the XXI century, a new textual preparation of the texts of the two main novels by M.A. Sholokhov “And Quiet Flows the Don” and “The Soil Upturned”. The choice of the main source of the text was made on the basis of a frontal comparison of all existing manuscript and printed sources of the work and takes into account the last creative will of the author. This made it possible to correct errors and misprints, make reasoned corrections, restore censorship exceptions, the author's spelling and punctuation. An innovative approach has been taken regarding the choice of the main source of the text. Each of the books of novels is printed not from one source common to the entire novel, but from different ones. The textual preambles explain how, out of more than 4,000 discrepancies in the text of the novel “And Quiet Flows the Don”, 500 documented and substantiated amendments were made, and the Appendix to the novel contains 11 pages of text seized in 1933 for ideological and other reasons, with which I am not familiar modern reader. Two works-satellites of scientific publications of literary texts by M.A. Sholokhov: “Creative heritage of M.A. Sholokhov at the beginning of the XXI century” and “Soviet reader with a letter to you… Letters from readers M.A. Sholokhov. 1955–1984”, which show the current level of study of the writer’s work, textual criticism, investigative work in our country, as well as India, China and Europe and introduce archival materials, letters from readers, transcripts of speeches by M.A. Sholokhov.
Delineation of terrain features in Demini’s Watershed – Setentrional Amazonia using regional geomorphometry
Authors: Dias Karolina Gameiro Cota , Valeriano Márcio de Morisson
Published: May 2023

The mapping of terrain features relies on the necessity of an object-based approach, which can be related to the constitution of terrain units. The regionalization of land surface parameters enables the assessment of characteristics inside terrain unities and enhances heterogeneity outside these patches. This study presents a classification methodology for hierarchical geomorphometric delineation, using visual and Random Forest (RF) classification in a regionalized dataset of terrain variables, applied in Demini’s watershed, north of Amazonia. These variables, calculated by segments derived from multiresolution segmentation, were evaluated in order to identify which had major contributions to RF’s classifications. The characterization of features had great correspondence with Environmental Informations Database (BDIA) data of geomorphological mapping, used as a reference in this work. The Overall Accuracy for RF taxon 1 was 96%, while Taxon 2 Highland and Lowland RF models reached 84% and 87%, respectively. Identification of subdomain classes was possible mostly using the digital elevation model (DEM) and variables directly derived from the DEM. The delineation of floodplain presented significant differences between visual and RF results, including BDIA’s data.
Auditor characteristics on tax avoidance by non-financial companies: Evidence from the Indonesia Stock Exchange
Authors: Zain Rafli Prastiatry , Harsa Sumarta Nurmadi , Gandhi Amidjaya Prihatnolo
Published: May 2023

Tax revenue realization in Indonesia is not inseparable from tax avoidance by business entities. The research was conducted to examine the effect of auditor characteristics as proxied by auditor industry specialization, audit tenure, and audit opinion on tax avoidance by non-financial companies listed on the IDX. This study used a set of panel data that consisted of non-financial companies listed on the IDX operating in the 2017-2020 period. The data were obtained from the companies’ annual report. The result of this study demonstrated that auditor industry specialization had a significant positive effect on tax avoidance, while audit tenure did not affect tax avoidance. There was a positive relationship between audit opinion and tax avoidance. This research has limitations as it was only conducted for a short period. Further research can develop this model by including variables which were excluded from this study and involving more samples and sectors of the research objects.
Corporate Governance and Financial Statement Fraud During the Covid-19: Study of Companies Under Special Monitoring in Indonesia
Authors: Arum Enggar Diah Puspa , Wijaya Rico , Wahyudi Ilham , Brilliant Aulia Beatrice
Published: May 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic had a wide-ranging impact, resulting in a global recession due to weakened purchasing power. This circumstance necessitates business organizations adapting to developments and being more conscious of the risk of financial statement fraud. The intention of this research is to investigate the way corporate governance affected financial statement fraud during the COVID-19 pandemic. To acquire empirical data for examining corporate governance variables on financial statement fraud, the research was examined using quantitative methods. The study takes advantage of secondary data acquired from annual reports of companies under special monitoring listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange of 2020-2021. The logistic regression method was used to evaluate 134 data sets, and financial statement fraud was measured using the Z-Score and F-Score models. The results indicate that using the Z-score, only the board size has a negative effect on financial statement fraud during the COVID- 19 pandemic. Meanwhile, using the F-Score, the corporate governance variables studied are not proven to have an influence on financial statement fraud during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Malaria remains a major public health problem worldwide, with eradication efforts thwarted by drug and insecticide resistance and the lack of a broadly effective malaria vaccine. In continuously exposed communities, polyclonal infections are thought to reduce the risk of severe disease and promote the establishment of asymptomatic infections. We sought to investigate the relationship between the complexity of P. falciparum infection and underlying host adaptive immune responses in an area with high prevalence of asymptomatic parasitaemia in Cameroon. A cross-sectional study of 353 individuals aged 2 to 86 years (median age = 16 years) was conducted in five villages in the Centre Region of Cameroon. Plasmodium falciparum infection was detected by multiplex nested PCR in 316 samples, of which 278 were successfully genotyped. Of these, 60.1% (167/278) were polyclonal infections, the majority (80.2%) of which were from asymptomatic carriers. Host-parasite factors associated with polyclonal infection in the study population included peripheral blood parasite density, participant age and village of residence. The number of parasite clones per infected sample increased significantly with parasite density (r = 0.3912, p<0.0001) but decreased with participant age (r = -0.4860, p<0.0001). Parasitaemia and number of clones per sample correlated negatively with total plasma levels of IgG antibodies to three highly reactive P. falciparum antigens (MSP-1p19, MSP-3 and EBA175) and two soluble antigen extracts (merozoite and mixed stage antigens). Surprisingly, we observed no association between the frequency of polyclonal infection and susceptibility to clinical disease as assessed by the recent occurrence of malarial symptoms or duration since the previous fever episode. Overall, the data indicate that in areas with high perennial transmission of P. falciparum, parasite polyclonality is dependent on underlying host adaptive immune responses, with the majority of polyclonal infections occurring in persons with low levels of protective anti-plasmodial antibodies.

Liability to prevent consequences of an unhealthy situation due to accumulating toxic and hazardous emissions caused by open dumping of municipal solid waste with increasing urbanization has necessitated a renewed thinking on waste disposal. Grate fired incineration systems were adopted by urban managements in past and present but with criticisms due to formation of air borne emissions. Improved combustion methods like fluidized bed are now propagated because of current requirements like efficient energy recovery potential, stricter emission norms, adaptability with urban growth, adaptability to co-firing with other waste like biomass, edible oil wastes or industrial effluent and integration with conventional energy generation. Such a comprehensive and futuristic approach is more sustainable for the community. Multi-criteria decision-making tool is used to identify the best technology option among grate combustion and fluidized bed combustion for disposing and energy recovery from waste. Ten different collection and disposal options involving two combustion methods, namely, grate combustion and fluidized bed method are considered. Utilization of the energy is done for three end uses, namely, power generation, water distillation and district cooling. Two different regions in Saudi Arabia are considered for this study under two types of scenario, namely with recycling and without recycling. The different options are prioritized based on their overall ranking using five major performance factors.

Product assembly is usually one of the last steps in the entire production process. This activity is typically entrusted to assembly workers because it is generally not possible to automate every type of product. For complex products, assembly can take a long time until the fitter learns the procedure and is able to assemble the product on his own. This contribution presents a cus-tom-developed system that enables controlled assembly of the extruder and can be used for complex and diverse products. The system serves to guide the fitter precisely and shows him which part to use at which time. The proposed system will show and describe on the display all necessary assembly steps and parts. Two-step verification is used to ensure that the correct part is picked from the stack. The contribution is supported by the implementation of a case study in a small company with a sample of 30 employees, which demonstrates that the proposed system shortens the extruder assembly time and significantly reduces the error rate. The presented solution is scalable and flexible, as it can be easily adapted to display the assembly steps of another product.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading infectious disease with serious antibiotic resistance. The benzothiazinone (BTZ) scaffold PBTZ169, an inhibitor of the decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose 2'-oxidase (DprE1) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), showed anti-TB potential in animal model and piloted clinical tests. Although highly potent, the BTZ type DprE1 inhibitors in general shows extremely low aqueous solubility, which adversely affect the drug like property. To improve the compounds physiochemical properties, we generated a series of BTZ analogues. Several optimized compounds had MIC values against Mtb in single digit nanomolar. The representative compound 37 displayed improved solubility and bioavailability compared to the lead compound. Additionally, compound 37 shows Mtb-killing ability in an acute infection mouse model.

Low back pain (LBP) is a health problem that affects 70-80% of the population in Western countries. Because of the biomechanical relationship between the lumbar region and the hip, it is thought that strengthening the muscles of this joint could improve the symptoms of people with LBP. The objective of the study is to evaluate the current evidence on the efficacy of hip strengthening exercises to reduce pain and disability in people with LBP. Clinical trials were collected from PubMed, PEDro, and Scopus databases published up to September 2022. Based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines and using CASpe and PEDro tools for methodological quality assessment, we selected studies that included hip strengthening exercises as part of LBP treatment and measured pain and/or disability parameters. Among the 966 records identified in the search, a total of 7 studies met the established selection criteria. Overall, participants who performed hip strengthening exercises had significantly improved in pain and disability. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed as “good”. In conclusion, the addition of hip muscle strengthening exercises iterating LBP effectively improving pain and disability.

To accomplish IMO's emissions reduction targets, the Chinese government has established emission control areas and implemented strict sulfur limitation policies. Faced with the downturn in the shipping industry and the challenge of insufficient supply of compliant fuel, Hong Kong and Shenzhen in China have implemented different low-sulfur fuel subsidy policies. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the air pollution control mechanism considering low sulfur fuel subsidy policy. Firstly, the non-cooperative game models considering low-sulfur fuel subsidies are constructed. Secondly, the mechanisms of various factors affecting port pricing, throughput and profit are analyzed. Then, a case study is conducted by using AIS data of container ships in Shanghai Port and Ningbo Zhoushan Port. The study reveals that whether the container service price of the leader port increases or decreases, the follower port always take corresponding follow-up measures. In both sequential and simultaneous game, the profit difference of the leader port is positively related to the subsidy ratio of the port’s own and negatively related to the coefficient of the competitor's subsidy. In conclusion, the low-sulfur fuel subsidy policy has a significant positive impact on the step-by-step implementation of more stringent pollution reduction policies in port waters.

Ludwigia octovalvis (Jacq.) P.H. Raven is widely used in traditional medicine for different illnesses included diabetes and hypertension. However, its impact on lipotoxicity and metabolic syndrome in vivo has not been addressed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of this plant on the metabolic syndrome parameters in a C57BL6J mouse hypercaloric diet model. L. octovalvis hydroalcoholic extract and its ethyl acetate fraction (25 mg/kg/day) were used for sub-chronic assessment (10 weeks). Also four subfractions (25 mg/kg) were evaluated in the postprandial triglyceridemia test in healthy C57BL6J mice. The hydroalcoholic extract and ethyl acetate fraction significantly decreased body weight gain (-6.9 g and -1.5 g), fasting glycemia (-46.1 and -31.2 mg/dL), systolic (-26.0 and -22.5mmHg) and diastolic (-8.1 and 16.2 mmHg) blood pressure, free fatty acid concentration (-13.8 and -8.0 μg/mL) and insulin-resistance (measured by TyG index, -0.207 and -0.18) compared to the negative control. Postprandial triglyceridemia test showed that the effects in the sub-chronic model are due, at least in part, to improvement in this parameter. L. octovalvis treatments, particularly the hydroalcoholic extract, improve MS alterations and decrease free fatty acid concentration. These effects are possibly due to high contents of corilagin and ellagic acid.

High-quality rice (Oryza sativa L.) is increasingly widely planted in China with the improvement of people's living standards and the achievement of rice breeding efforts in recent years. However, the agronomic and physiological performances of high-quality indica rice (HQIR) under different nitrogen(N) application conditions in southern China are little known. Two-year consecutive field experiments were conducted with two HQIR and two ordinary-quality indica rice (OQIR) varieties under moderate and high N application rates, with yield and yield components, biomass, N up-take, and their related traits investigated. We found that grain yields of HQIR were slightly de-creased, but grain yields of OQIR were significantly increased by 6.60%-8.88% under high N rate compared with moderate N rate in both years. Thereby, OQIR produced 8.34%-11.87% and 22.00%-22.50% higher grain yield than HQIR under moderate and high N rates, respectively. The different responses of grain yield to N application rates were mainly due to decreased grain set-ting rate in HQIR and increased spikelets m-2 in OQIR under high N rate. Furthermore, high N rate significantly reduced pre-anthesis AE and improved grain-leaf area ratio, while did not in-crease post-anthesis DM compared with moderate N rate in HQIR, which might result in carbon metabolic deterioration and imbalance of source-sink relationship and subsequently lower supply of carbohydrate to panicle. Our results suggest that a moderate N rate (165 kg N ha-1) is beneficial for HQIR varieties to balance the maximum grain yield and high quality in southern China

Prostate cancer is driven by acquired genetic alterations, including those impacting the epigenetic machinery. With African ancestry a significant risk factor for aggressive disease, we hypothesize that dysregulation among the roughly 656 epigenetic genes may contribute to prostate cancer health disparities. Interrogating prostate tumor genomic data from 109 men of southern African and 56 men of European Australian ancestry, we found African-derived tumors to present with a longer tail of epigenetic driver gene candidates (72 versus 10). Biased towards African-specific drivers (63 versus 9 shared), many are novel to prostate cancer (18/63) including several putative therapeutic targets (CHD7, DPF3, POLR1B, SETD1B, UBTF and VPS72). Through clustering of all variant types and copy number alterations, we describe two epigenetic PCa taxonomies capable of differentiating patients by ancestry and predicted clinical outcomes. We identified top genes in African and European-derived tumors that represent a multifunctional “generic machinery”, alteration to which may be instrumental in epigenetic dysregulation and prostate tumorigenesis. In conclusion, numerous somatic alterations in the epigenetic machinery drive prostate carcinogenesis but African-derived tumors appear to achieve this with greater diversity amongst such alterations. The greater novelty observed in African-derived tumors illustrates the significant clinical benefit to be derived from a much needed African tailored approach to prostate cancer healthcare aimed at reducing prostate cancer health disparities.
