Published: January 2023

If it is necessary to reduce the anthropogenic impact on agroecosystems in conditions of constant increase in the cost of resources – improving the technology of growing corn through the use of nanotechnologies is one of the prerequisites for increasing the yield of crops and their profitability. In this regard, the purpose of the study was to investigate the biological activity of Zn nanocarboxylates and MoS2 nanoparticles at different concentrations for the germination, growth, and development of corn seedlings. An experiment was conducted on corn sprouts to determine the effect of Zn and MoS2 nanoparticles. The germination rate and germination energy of seeds under the action of nanoparticles were determined in accordance with the requirements of the state standard DSTU 4138-2002. The study results were analysed by generally accepted statistical methods. It was established that MoS2 nanoparticles when diluted at 1:10,000 (at a concentration of 700 mcg/l) show biological activity and cause an increase in the length of leaf blades and the length of the roots of corn seedlings by 35.0% and 100.0%, respectively. At other concentrations (1:100; 1:1,000) of Zn and MoS2 nanoparticles, no significant effect on the size of leaf blades and roots was observed. According to the results of the Mana-Whitney test, in all variants, with the exception of the action of MoS2 nanoparticles in a 1:10,000 dilution, the significance level of changes was not sufficient. Only in the variant with MoS2 at 1:10,000 dilution, an increase in root length was statistically significant. There was no statistically significant effect in all the studied variants on the germination energy and laboratory germination of maize seeds. The practical value of the study is to assess the effect of drugs (Zn nanocarboxylates and MoS2 nanoparticles) for foliar top dressing, a wide range of which is offered to agricultural producers, selection of effective concentrations for the growth, development, and yield of corn per grain

In this study, chemical extraction using different acid concentrations, solids concentrations, and reaction time with subsequent interactions mechanism were carried out to evaluate the potential of phosphorus (P) recovery from primary settled-nightsoil sludge (PSNS). The response surface methodology (RSM) with Box-Behnken experimental design and one-way ANOVA analysis were also employed to establish optimal P leaching conditions. The extraction efficiency relied mainly on acid and solids concentration. The second-order polynomial model was successfully developed for extracting process designs. Approximately 93% of P could effectively be extracted from PSNS of 20,000 mg/L with 0.5 M of H2SO4 at reaction time of 45 min (optimum condition). Kinetic studies showed that the pseudo-second order was fit to describe leaching of P and metals. Moreover, the rate of kinetic constants (k2) of the P, Fe, Mg, and Ca under optimum condition were found to be 0.1607, 0.1099, 0.0317, and 0.0053 g/mg·min, respectively. The 99% leaching of maximum extracted P concentration at the equilibrium (9.6673 mg/g) took place in less than one hour. The findings of a suitable simple and low-cost method P dissolution from PSNS not only provides understanding of leaching kinetics, but also helps to pave a way of recovering P from a renewable resource in the field of waste utilization.

The COVID- 19 pandemic has created many challenges for health care sector around the world. One of these challenges is the increasing need for health care workers, especially nurses. According to the International Nursing Council (ICN) about 6% of COVID-19 cases were among health care workers (range 0 to 18%). Because most nursing activities require direct contact with patients, nurses are more vulnerable to Infection with COVID-19. Complaints of chronic fatigue have been common among survivors of SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome–related Coronavirus (MERS). Fatigue is a mental feeling of weakness, lack of energy and exhaustion. Chronic fatigue usually lasts more than 6 months and does not decrease with rest and can lead to decreased productivity, increase absence from work, quit the job or dismissal by employers due to unwillingness to care for patients with COVID-19 and reduce the quality of care. During the outbreaks, increasing in demand and decreasing in the labor force following the possible illness or leaving the job also the prolongation of the pandemic outbreak process make the shortage of nurses more critical. Therefore, in the first stage, in order to maintain the safety of the existing nursing staff, special protocols should be considered to reduce the risk of infection of nurses. Finally, more research should be done to identify chronic fatigue syndrome cause and mechanisms and its possible effects on the quality of personal and professional life of nurses.

Microalgae are extensively used in industry due to their potential in producing high-value metabolites. The good microalgae growth kinetics performance is essential owing to excellent microalgae biomass harvesting efficiency. Therefore, the best mathematical model for the growth kinetics of microalgae is required to predict the correct growth kinetics value and helps in the elucidation of downstream processes. This study embarks on the objective to determine the best mathematical models for three local microalgae which are Characium sp. UKM1, Chlorella sp. UKM2 and Coelastrella sp. UKM4 cultured in Bold Basal Media (BBM). The four mathematical models are used to evaluate the growth kinetics of microalgae which include logistic model (Lm), modified logistic model (MLm), modified Gompertz model (MGm) and Baranyi-Roberts model (BRm). The experimental data were compared to the predicted data through the residual plot. The comparison shows that BRm is the best model to fit UKM1, UKM2 and UKM4 due to the experimental data which is close to the x-axis of the residual plot indicating the data were fitted the best to the BRm. The statistical analysis confirmed that all microalgae growth patterns exhibited that the BRm is the best model owing to the lowest percentage of standard error prediction indicating the lowest error compared to the other models. In addition, accuracy and bias factors are near to one which assess the precision of these models. In conclusion, the growth of UKM1, UKM2 and UKM4 grown in BBM is best fitted to the Baranyi-Roberts model.

Soil biota composition and the performance of a noxious weed across its invaded range
Authors: Nunes Krystal , Fitzpatrick Connor R. , Kotanen Peter M.
Published: January 2023

The success of invasive plant species is driven, in part, by feedback with soil ecosystems. Yet, how variation in belowground communities across latitudinal gradients affects invader distributions remains poorly understood. To determine the effect of soil communities on the performance of the noxious weed Cirsium arvense across its invaded range, we grew seedlings for 40 days in soils collected across a 699 km linear distance from both inside and outside established populations. We also described the mesofaunal and bacterial communities across all soil samples. We found that C. arvense typically performed better when grown in soils sourced from northern populations than from southern locations where it has a longer invasion history. We also found evidence that C. arvense performed best in soils sourced from outside invaded patches, although this was not consistent across all sites. The bacterial community showed a significant increase in the magnitude of compositional change in invaded sites at higher latitudes, while the mesofaunal community showed the opposite pattern. Bacterial community composition was significantly correlated with C. arvense performance, although mesofaunal community composition was not. Our results demonstrate that the interactions between an invasive plant and associated soil communities change across the invaded range, and the bacterial community in particular may affect variation in plant performance. Observed patterns may be caused by C.arvense presence and time since invasion allowing for an accumulation of species-specific pathogens in southern soils, while the naivete of northern soils to invasion results in a more responsive bacterial community. Although these interactions are difficult to predict, such effects could possibly facilitate the establishment of this exotic species to novel locations.

Published: January 2023

Teaching ecology effectively and experientially has become more challenging for at least two reasons today. Most experiences of our students are urban, and we now face the near immediate and continuing need to deliver courses (either partially or wholly) online because of COVID-19. Therefore, providing a learning experience that connects students to their environment within an ecological framework remains crucial and perhaps therapeutic to mental health. Here, we describe how prior to the pandemic we adapted our field-based laboratories to include data collection, analysis, and interpretation, along with the development of a citizen-science approach for online delivery. This design is simple to implement, does not require extensive work, and maintains the veracity of original learning outcomes. Collaboration online following field data collection in ecology courses within the context of cities offers further options to adapt to student experience levels, resource availability, and accessibility, as well as bringing instructors and students together to build an open well-curated data set that can be used in ecology courses where no laboratories are available. Finally, it promotes an open collaboration among ecology instructors that can drive lasting conversations about ecology curriculum.

Published: January 2023

This report sets out a vision for strengthening the enforcement of the ESA. It advances recommendations for updating the provisions and enforcement of the Act so that it better protects people in precarious jobs. The report draws on research findings of “Closing the Employment Standards Enforcement Gap,” a multi-year research partnership supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and involving researchers from eight universities, an international advisory team of academic experts drawn from Australia, the United States, and Europe, as well as workers’ advocates from across Ontario. The research project adopts a mixed-method approach, incorporating archival data, interviews with workers and with staff of the Ministry of Labour, and analyses of Statistics Canada data and administrative data relating to the enforcement of the ESA. 
Are franchisees more prone to employment standards violations than other businesses? Evidence from Ontario, Canada
Authors: Easton Mark D. , Noack Andie , Vosko Leah
Published: January 2023

Using an administrative dataset from the Ontario Ministry of Labour, we investigate three hypotheses about employment standards violations among franchised businesses: (1) franchisees have a higher probability of violating employment standards than other businesses, (2) franchisees have a higher probability of monetary/wage-related ES violations than other businesses, and (3) franchisees have a lower probability of repaying monetary/wage-related violations than other businesses. The results of our statistical models suggest that overall, franchisees are indeed more likely to violate ES, have a higher probability of monetary/wage-related violations, and are less likely to repay such violations. However, the results vary substantially by industry. While franchisees had only marginally higher probabilities of an ES violation in two of the seven industry-groups examined, five of the seven industries showed substantially higher probabilities of a monetary violation. The results also show that franchisees in three industry groups (retail, accommodation and food services, and education, public administration, healthcare and social services) are particularly prone to monetary violations. 
Measuring Employment Standards Violations, Evasion and Erosion Using a Telephone Survey
Authors: Noack Andie , Vosko Leah , Grundy John
Published: January 2023

This article reports on efforts to develop a telephone survey that measures the overall prevalence of employment standards (ES) violations as well as their evasion and erosion in lowwage jobs in Ontario, without requiring that respondents have any pre-existing legal knowledge. The result is a survey instrument that is unique in the Canadian context and reflects the concerns of both academic researchers and workers’ rights activists. Pilot survey results show that Ontario workers do not necessarily distinguish between ES violations and other workplace grievances and complaints. With careful questionnaire design, it is nevertheless possible to measure the prevalence of ES violations, evasion and erosion. In order to track the effects of ES policies and their implementation, it is crucial to establish baseline measures and standardized reporting tools. 
A changing Arctic Ocean

Published: January 2023

[Introduction]: "The Arctic is the fastest changing region on the planet. It is also intrinsically tied to global processes, whether they are climatic, environmental or socio-economic. The impacts of climate change on the vast and multiple interacting Arctic systems are inherently complex, although can be broadly summarised as an increase in temperature and the subsequent loss of sea-ice cover. This will ultimately result in the emergence of new physical and ecological states. The rapidity with which the Arctic is reacting to global climate change is extraordinary. It is leading to scales of environmental change that society is unprepared for and is currently largely at a loss on how to manage or mitigate. We are witnessing a catastrophic restructuring of the ecology and biogeochemical processes traditionally used to deﬁne the rivers, lakes, ocean, glaciers, tundra and permafrost that collectively make up what we call the Arctic (Thomas 2021)."

Published: January 2023

53 brominated and chlorinated flame retardants were investigated in sediment samples from the German rivers Elbe and Weser, the German Bight, Jadebusen, East Frisian Coast as well as the UK East coast. The aim of the presented study was to investigate the prevalence of different halogenated flame retardant groups as contaminants in North Sea sediments, identify determining factors for the distribution and levels as well as to identify area specific fingerprints that could help identify sources.

In order to do that a fast and effective ASE extraction method with an on-line clean-up was developed as well as a GC-EI-MSMS and LC-ESI-MSMS method to analyse PBDEs, MeOBDEs, alternate BFRs, Dechloranes as well as TBBPA and HBCDD. A fingerprinting method was adopted to identify representative area-specific patterns based on detection frequency as well as concentrations of individual compounds. Concentrations in general were low, with<1 ng g−1 dw for most compounds. Exceptions were the comparably high concentrations of BDE-209 with up to 7 ng g−1 dw in selected samples and TBBPA in UK samples with 2.7±1.5 ng g−1 dw. Apart from BDE-209 and TBBPA, alternate BFRs and Dechloranes were predominant in all analysed samples, displaying the increasing relevance of these compounds as environmental contaminants.
Distribution of Brominated Flame Retardants and Dechloranes between sediments and benthic fish – A comparison of a freshwater and marine habitat

Published: January 2023

A total of 53 halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) were analysed in sediments, European eels and dabs from both freshwater and marine sampling stations in the 

German Bight and the river Elbe. 

Classic HFRs, such as polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs), were the highest concentrated HFRs in eels as well as in most dabs (apart from 1,2,5,6 tetrabromocyclooctane (TBCO)). In sediments, on the other hand, alternate BFRs and especially Dechloranes dominated the contamination pattern. Dabs were still found to be statistically representative for the contamination patterns and relative magnitude in sediments from their respective habitats. Contamination patterns in eels seemed to be more driven by the contamination situation in the food chain or 

historical contamination of their habitat. 

Unsuspectedly the alternate flame retardant TBCO was found in comparably high concentrations (up to 12 ng g-1 ww) in dabs from two sampling stations as well as in sediments from these stations (up to 1.2 ng g-1 dw). It could not be detected in any other analysed fish or sediment samples, indicating a localised contamination source in the area. 

This study provides information on HFR contamination patterns and behaviour in both marine and freshwater sediments and their potential role as contamination source for benthic fish.

The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is regarded as a critically endangered species. Scientists are in agreement that the “quality of spawners” is a vital factor for the survival of the species. This quality can be impaired by parasites, disease and pollution. Especially endocrine 

disrupting organic chemicals pose a potential threat to reproduction and development of offspring. 

To our knowledge, the findings in this publication for the first time describe maternal transfer of contaminants in eels. We analysed the concentrations of in total 53 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and their halogenated substitutes in muscle, gonads and eggs of 

artificially matured European eels and in muscle and gonads of untreated European eels that were used for comparison. We found evidence that persistent organic pollutants such as PBDEs, as well as their brominated and chlorinated substitutes are redistributed from muscle tissue to gonads and eggs. Concentrations ranged from 0.001 ng g-1 ww for sum Dechlorane metabolites (DPMA, aCL10DP, aCl11DP) to 2.1 ng g-1 ww for TBA in eggs, 0.001 ng g-1 ww for Dechlorane metabolites to 9.4 ng g-1 ww for TBA in gonads and 0.002 ng g-1 ww for Dechlorane metabolites to 54 ng g-1 ww for TBA in muscle tissue. Average egg muscle ratios (EMRs) for 

compounds detectable in artificially matured eels from both Schlei Fjord and Ems River ranged from 0.01 for Dechlorane 602  (DDC-DBF) to 10.4 for PBEB. Strong correlations were found between flame retardant concentrations and lipid content in the analysed tissue types, as well as transfer rates and octanol-water partitioning coefficient, indicating that these parameters 

were the driving factors for the observed maternal transfer. Furthermore, indications were found, that TBP-DBPE, TBP-AE, BATE and TBA have a significant uptake from the surrounding water, rather than just food and might additionally be formed by metabolism or biotransformation processes. Dechloranes seem to be of increasing relevance as contaminants in eels and are transferred to eggs. A change of the isomer pattern in comparison to the technical product of Dechlorane Plus (DP) was observed indicating a redistribution of DP from muscle tissue to gonads during silvering with a preference of the syn-isomer. The highly bioaccumulative DDC-DBF was the most abundant Dechlorane in all fish of the comparison group even though it is not produced or imported in the EU. The aldrin related “experimental flame retardant” dibromoaldrin (DBALD) was detected for the first time 

in the environment in similar or higher concentrations than DP.

Chemical pollution is hypothesized as one of the factors driving the strong decline of the critically endangered European eel population. Specifically the impact of contaminants on the quality of spawning eels and subsequent embryo survival and development has been discussed as crucial investigation point. However, so far only very limited information on potential negative effects of contaminants on the reproduction of eels is available. 

Through the combination of non-targeted ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry and multidimensional gas chromatography, combined with more conventional targeted analytical approaches, compounds of particular relevance and their maternal transfer in artificially matured European eels from the German river Ems have been identified. 

Substituted diphenylamines were, unexpectedly, found to be the primary organic contaminants in the eel samples, with concentrations exceeding 10 µg g-1 ww. Furthermore, it could be shown that these contaminants, as well as known contaminants in eel such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are not merely stored in lipid rich tissue of eels, but maternally transferred into gonads and eggs. 

The results of this study provide unpreceded information on both the fate and behavior of substituted diphenylamines in the environment as well as their relevance as contaminants in European eels.

Equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs) translocate nucleosides and nucleobases across plasma membranes, as well as a variety of anti-cancer, -viral, and -parasite nucleoside analogs. They are also key members of the purinome complex and regulate the protective and anti-inflammatory effects of adenosine. Despite their important role, little is known about the mechanisms involved in their regulation. We conducted membrane yeast 2-hybrid and coimmunoprecipitation studies and identified, for the first time to our knowledge, the existence of protein-protein interactions between human ENT1 and ENT2 (hENT1 and hENT2) proteins in human cells and the formation of hetero- and homo-oligomers at the plasma membrane and the submembrane region. The use of NanoLuc Binary Technology allowed us to analyze changes in the oligomeric status of hENT1 and hENT2 and how they rapidly modify the uptake profile for nucleosides and nucleobases and allow cells to respond promptly to external signals or changes in the extracellular environment. These changes in hENTs oligomerization are triggered by PKC activation and subsequent action of protein phosphatase 1.
The Roles of Ferroptosis-related Long Non-coding RNAs in Urologic Cancers
Authors: Xie Wenchao , Gu Jie , Qin Zhenqian , Xie Yimin
Published: January 2023

Ferroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that has been recent topic of interest in cancer therapy. Growing evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in ferroptosis and associated with the incidence and progression of cancer. However, the relationship between lncRNA and ferroptosis in urologic cancers has not been fully elucidated. In this review, we summarize ferroptosis-related lncRNAs (frlncRNAs) in urologic cancers. Studies indicate that frlncRNAs are associated with cancer metabolism, tumor microenvironment, and immune cell infiltration. In addition, frlncRNAs could regulate ferroptosis related genes both at the mRNA and protein level. Therefore, a deep understanding of the roles of frlncRNAs in urologic cancers occurrence and progression will provide novel information for the development of anticancer therapies.

Tujuan pelatihan dan pembelajaran “Team Teaching” diharapkan agar para dosen mampu merencanakan proses pembelajaran dengan team teaching dan melaksanakannya dalam perkuliahan. Sesuai dengan tugas dan tanggung jawab dosen dalam proses pembelajaran. Metode team teaching dapat dibagi menjadi dua, yakni team teaching penuh (full team teaching), dan semi team teaching atau team planning. Model team teaching penuh, perencanaan dan pelaksanaan pembelajaran dilaksanakan bersama-sama oleh anggota tim. Adapun semi team teaching, anggota tim membuat perencanaan bersama tetapi pelaksanaan mengajar sendiri-sendiri. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan di lokasi pelatihan, menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar dosen masih belum mengerti dan belum memahami proses pembelajaran dengan model team teaching. Proses pembelajaran dalam bentuk team teaching belum direncanakan dengan cermat serta belum dilaksanakan dengan komitmen yang tinggi.

Published: January 2023

Cette étude comparative analyse les conventions collectives et les règlements qui régissent les bibliothécaires des universités faisant partie du regroupement des grandes universités de recherche du Canada, le U15. Elle identifie sept composantes du modèle du statut universitaire qui sont recommandées dans les lignes directrices des organisations nationales au Canada, et analysent chacune d’elles. L’objectif de l’étude est de comparer les rôles, droits et responsabilités des bibliothécaires membres du U15, dont l’Université Laval fait partie. Les résultats de l’analyse font ressortir des similitudes entre les rôles et fonctions des bibliothécaires de l’Université Laval et les autres membres du regroupement U15, et montrent aussi des disparités concernant leurs droits et conditions de travail. Cette situation soulève une question d’équité entre les bibliothécaires universitaires au Canada.

Published: January 2023

Every year, the Department of Germanic Studies at Indiana University hosts a theater project for high school students from across the state. 2021 was the 8th consecutive successful year of the festival, and the second time it was held online. The main incentive of the project is to give German students of all levels a creative way to engage with the language through performance. In our article, we explore how to move the festival to a digital space during the pandemic, as well as how the project is organized in general. We write about difficulties and successes with the format, and show examples of student projects and educational workshops. The festival has thrived as an outreach program for the department, attracting more and more learners to German. Even though the project was switched to an online format, every year, an increasing number of high school students enthusiastically participate and use it as an outlet to show their love for language, culture, and performance.

A agricultura, no Brasil, representa a principal base econômica, sendo o estado do Rio Grande do Sul um dos mais relevantes em perspectiva de produção agrícola, o que acarreta, por consequência, a intensificação da utilização de agrotóxicos. Ocorre que o uso demasiado de agrotóxicos se encontra associado a inúmeros problemas envolvendo saúde pública. Diante disso, o presente estudo objetivou realizar uma reflexão teórica, a partir de pesquisa exploratória, acerca da temática apresentada, colocando ênfase à flexibilização da utilização de agrotóxicos provinda do projeto de lei n.2060/2020. A pesquisa concluiu não haver justificativas socioeconômicas capazes de corroborar a flexibilização quanto a venda de agrotóxicos, constatando-se apenas medidas de precaução, prevenção e educação ambiental como colaborativas ao enfrentamento da problemática.

Published: January 2023

Araştırmada eğitim kooperatifi anaokulunun kuruluşu, yönetimi, finansmanı, faaliyetleri, iletişim süreci, tercih edilme nedenleri ve gelişimi için neler yapılabileceği hakkında keşifte bulunması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda nitel araştırma yönteminin durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar, amaçlı örneklem yöntemiyle seçilmiştir.  Kooperatif ortağı olan ve olmayan veliler, kooperatif ortakları ve okul yöneticisi olmak üzere dokuz katılımcıya ulaşılmıştır. Veriler, hazırlanan görüşme formlarıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmış, betimsel analiz yöntemi ile yorumlanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarında kooperatif okulun ebeveyn iş birliği içerisinde kurulduğu, okulun kooperatif üyelerinin ve eğitim kadrosunun aldığı ortak kararlar ve çok paydaşlı bir anlayışla yönetildiği, ana finansman kaynağının ebeveynler tarafından ödenen kayıt ücretleri olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kooperatif okulda alternatif eğitim modelleri uygulanmaktadır ve veliler okul içi iletişim sürecini olumlu değerlendirmektedir. Ancak katılımcılar, COVID-19 salgın döneminde okulun finansman ve iletişim süreçlerinin olumsuz etkilendiğini ifade etmiştir. Eğitim kooperatifi üyeleri, okulun hem sermayedarı hem de velisidir. Bu durum paydaşların sorumluluk sınırlarının belirlenmesini ve korunmasını zorlaştırmaktadır. Katılımcılar, kooperatif okul modelinin öğrencilerin akademik ve sosyal başarıları üzerinde olumlu bir etki oluşturduğunu ve velilerin okula karşı bağlılıklarını arttırdığını ifade etmiştir. Alternatif bir okul modeli olarak belirtilen okulların, yasal ve finansal açıdan desteklenmesi ve teşvik edilmesinin faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
