Dissipative spin hydrodynamics from quantum field theory
Authors:   , Weickgenannt Nora
Published: October 2022

The aim of this thesis is to provide a complete and consistent derivation of second-order dissipative relativistic spin hydrodynamics from quantum field theory. We will proceed in two main steps. The first one is the formulation of spin kinetic theory from quantum field theory using the Wigner-function formalism and performing an expansion in powers of the Planck constant. The essential ingredient here is the nonlocal collision term. We will find that the nonlocality of the collision term arises at first order in the Planck constant and is responsible for the spin alignment with vorticity, as it allows for conversion between spin and orbital angular momentum. In the second step, this kinetic theory is used as the starting point to derive hydrodynamics including spin degrees of freedom. The so-called canonical form of the conserved currents follows from Noether’s theorem. Applying an HW pseudo-gauge transformation, we obtain a spin tensor and energy-momentum tensor with obvious physical interpretation. Promoting all components of the HW tensors to be dynamical, we derive second-order dissipative spin hydrodynamics. The additional equations of motion for the dissipative currents are obtained from kinetic theory generalizing the method of moments to include spin degrees of freedom.

Authors: Seguer Zineb Soltana , Hasna Amina Messaïd
Published: October 2022

In the literature review, the subject of changes in organizations and business professions as a result of digital advances and digital is quite frequent. These changes concern all sectors of activity and professions without exception. Thus, under the influence of digitalization, individual campaigns have transformed, changed, or disappeared altogether. The same applies to individual professions related to digitalization. The aim of the article is to investigate the main problems and determine the ability of the managerial profession to face the challenges and threats that arise in the conditions of digitization of organizations and the use of business analytics tools. Among the many functions of the manager’s profession, the article examined the role of strategic decision-making as one of the most complex and difficult to digitize. The object of the study is the skills of strategic decision-makers in organizations from different sectors of the economy (pharmaceutical industry, agri-food industry, career industry, construction and real estate, metallurgy and metal materials, multinational, business administration, communication & Marketing, e-business, auditing & accounting, banking). New decision-making skills were identified and described based on the study of the skills of fifteen different managers and eight consultants and analysts. All managers should gradually acquire these skills to complete their basic training, gain knowledge and interpersonal communication skills, and understand the latest know-how which appears in the digital age. It will allow him to meet his company’s current and future needs and better retain and fulfill job duties. The results of this study show us that in addition to his professional development based on technology and digital, the manager develops based on his personal growth and professional knowledge. The contribution of digital tools to decision-making skills is the same regardless of the field of activity he exercises during his career.

Published: October 2022

The scheme for the disbursement of social assistance through the Family Hope Program (PKH) during the COVID-19 pandemic changed, originally once every three months; now, it is carried out every month from April to December 2020. This change in the scheme has resulted in various responses from Beneficiary Families (KPM). PKH. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. Data collection in this study was conducted through in-depth interviews and direct observation in the field. In order to determine the informants, this study uses a sampling technique with purposive sampling. The results showed that the response of KPM PKH in Nagari Gunung Rajo in terms of perception, attitude, and participation aspects showed a positive response. This can be seen from the PKH KPM. They have understood the purpose of changing the PKH program assistance scheme, the terms, methods, and timing of aid distribution, and are actively participating in PKH activities. Researchers recommend the government consider changing the PKH assistance scheme because it will reduce the amount of assistance received by KPM and increase transportation costs. Besides that, it also has a big impact, especially for those whose assistance is of small value. The most important thing is that clear public communication and definite regulations are needed so that KPM is not confused by sudden changes in the scheme, and it is necessary to carry out synergies because the key to the success of this program lies in multi-stakeholder communication, cooperation, and coordination.

Published: October 2022

Background

Due to the upsurge of COVID-19, nations are increasingly adopting telemedicine programs in anticipation of similar crises. Similar to all nations worldwide, Jordan is implementing efforts to adopt such technologies, yet it is far from complete.

Objective

This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of Jordanians toward telemedicine, to identify key factors predisposing individuals to its use or acting as barriers to its implementation.

Methods

We implemented a cross-sectional design using an online, self-administered questionnaire executed in Google Forms and distributed through social media. Differences in knowledge and attitude scores were examined using independent sample t tests and ANOVA. A multivariate linear regression model was computed to assess predictors of awareness toward telemedicine.

Results

A total of 1201 participants fully completed the questionnaire. Participants were characterized by a mean age of 36.3 (SD 14.4) years and a male-to-female ratio of nearly 1:1. About 50% (619/1201, 51.5%) of our studied population were aware of telemedicine, while nearly 25% (299/1201, 24.9%) declared they had observed it in action. Approximatively 68% (814/1201, 67.8%) of respondents were willing to use telemedicine. The majority of the sample portrayed favorable and positive views toward telemedicine. Higher educational degrees, living in urban districts, and having a higher perception of electronic usage ability were associated with higher knowledge and better attitudes toward telemedicine (all P<.05). The multivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated that perceived ability to use electronics was associated with positive attitudes (β=0.394; 95% CI 0.224 to 0.563), while living in Southern Jordan predicted poor attitudes toward telemedicine (β=–2.896; 95% CI –4.873 to –0.919).

Conclusions

Jordanians portray favorable perceptions of telemedicine. Nonetheless, concerns with regards to privacy, medical errors, and capacity for accurate diagnoses are prevalent. Furthermore, Jordanians believe that integrating telemedicine within the health care system is not applicable due to limited resources.

Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of infections, bone fractures, and skin cancers.

OBJECTIVE

We developed preventive health videos using a patient-centered approach and tested their impact on preventive health uptake.

METHODS

Five animated videos explaining preventive health recommendations in IBD were iteratively developed with patient-centered focus groups and interviews. A randomized controlled trial was then conducted in a web-based IBD cohort to test the impact of video- versus text-based educational interventions. The primary outcome was receipt of the influenza vaccine. Secondary outcomes included intention to receive other preventive health services.

RESULTS

Five animated videos were developed with patient input. A total of 1056 patients with IBD were then randomized to receive the video (n=511) or text-only (n=545) interventions; 55% (281/511) of the video group and 57% (311/545) of the text-only group had received their influenza vaccine in the prior year. Immediately after the intervention, 73% (502/683) of patients reported their intention to receive the vaccine, with no difference by the type of intervention (75%, 231/307, for the video group and 72%, 271/376, for the text-only group). The proportion of patients who actually received the influenza vaccine after the intervention also did not differ by messaging type (P=.07). The strongest predictor of both intention to receive and actual receipt of the influenza vaccine was prior influenza vaccination. Older age was also associated with a higher likelihood of the intention to receive (age 36-75 years relative to 18-35 years; P=.006) and actual receipt (age >75 years relative to 18-35 years; P=.05) of the influenza vaccine.

CONCLUSIONS

The proportion of patients receiving the influenza vaccine was high in both groups, but there was no difference in receipt of or in the intention to receive preventive health recommendations by type of messaging. Notably, a portion of patients in both groups had intended to be vaccinated but did not ultimately receive the vaccine. Further evaluation of patient-education strategies is warranted to improve preventive health uptake among patients with IBD.

The effect of endogenous cortisol on the course of H.pylori-associated gastroduodenal diseases in adolescents
Authors: Sorokman T.V. , Gingulyak M.G.
Published: October 2022

Background. The clinical picture and course of Н.pylori-dependent gastroduodenal diseases in adolescents have some characteristics, which complicate the diagnosis and treatment. The purpose was to investigate the level of cortisol in the blood of adolescents with Н.pylori-dependent gastroduodenal diseases. Materials and methods. A group of 96 patients (15–18 years old) was formed and divided into subgroups depending on the nosology (chronic gastroduodenitis, chronic erosive gastroduodenitis, duodenal ulcer) and gender. A comparison group included children of the same age. Fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy was used to determine the endoscopic criteria for Helicobacter pylori (HP) and to perform a shield biopsy of the gastric mucosa (antrum and body of the stomach) and duodenum. HP infection was confirmed by enzyme immunoassay with qualitative and quantitative determination of IgG antibodies to HP in blood serum (UBI MAYIWELL™, USA). Evaluating the level of cortisol in the blood was carried out using a standard test system (Immunotech, Czech Republic). Results. The total frequency of HP detection was 54.2 %. It is worth noting that only 33.3 % of adolescents with H.pylori-associated gastroduodenal diseases have toxic CagA strains, while among patients with H.pylori-associated chronic erosive gastroduodenitis, such strains were detected in 70.8 % of cases. Children with duodenal ulcer are characterized by the highest number of HP strains in biopsies of the mucous membrane — 83.3 %. The level of cortisol in the blood of adolescents with pathology of the upper gastrointestinal tract was significantly higher than that in the comparison group (906.33 ± 43.56 nmol/ml and 666.21 ± 33.42 nmol/ml, respectively; p < 0.05). The highest cortisol content in the blood was registered in patients with duodenal ulcer, with a predominance of higher indicators among adolescent boys. Significantly higher blood levels of cortisol were found in the stage of exacerbation and with a high degree of activity of the inflammatory process. Conclusions. In adolescence, inflammatory and destructive changes in the duodenal mucosa are potentiated by a high level of cortisol in the blood, it is higher in adolescent boys, with a high degree of inflammatory activity and in association with Helicobacter pylori infection.

Published: October 2022

Background. The purpose of the study was to determine possible markers of skeletal muscle damage in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and their relationship with the features of disease course. Materials and methods. The observation group consisted of 98 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus: the first group included 22 people without disorders of the muscular system; the second — 42 patients with dynapenia; the third — 34 children with diabetic myopathy. Control group — 30 relatively healthy children. Assessment of the static endurance of skeletal muscles, determination of the level of creatine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, periostin and cardiotrophin-1 in blood serum were performed in all patients. Results. The conducted studies demonstrate that children with diabetes, regardless of the structural and functional state of their muscular system, have signs of skeletal muscle damage, which were most expressed in diabetic myopathy and progressed with maximal deterioration of glycemic control. It was found that the highest content of alkaline phosphatase was characteristic of children from group 1, while in patients with diabetic myopathy its serum content was not statistically different from that of controls. These disorders occurred against the background of changes in alkaline phosphatase activity, the level of which was highest in children from group 1, while in patients with diabetic myopathy, its serum content was not statistically different from that of controls. At the same time, during the course of diabetic myopathy in children with T1DM, there was an increase in lactate dehydrogenase activity by 1.2 times (p < 0.01) and cardiotrophin-1 by 300 times (p < 0.01) compared to the corresponding indicator of the control group. Serum periostin level was increased in all patients with T1DM. Its maximum values were determined in group 1, whose periostin concentration exceeded control indicators by 103 times (p < 0.01). With deterioration of skeletal muscle state, there was a gradual decrease in periostin serum level, but in patients with dynapenia, it was 35.5 times higher than in the control group (p < 0.05) and 19.2 times higher in those with diabetic myopathy (p < 0.05). Conclusions. The course of type 1 diabetes in children is accompanied by skeletal muscle damage, the first clinical sign of which is a decrease in the static muscle endurance against the background of worsening disease course. Alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, periostin, and cardiotrophin-1 are biochemical markers of skeletal muscle damage in children with type 1 diabetes. A common feature of the changes in the specified indicators is their increase; however, each clinical condition of the skeletal muscles corresponds to its own configuration of changes in the abovementioned markers.
Tyrosinase-Based Paper Biosensor for Phenolics Measurement
Authors: Yurike Fretty , Iswantini Dyah , Purwaningsih Henny , Achmadi Suminar Setiati
Published: October 2022

Environmental pollution resulting from various industrial activities is still a problem for developing countries. The high content of phenolics such as phenols, polyphenols, bisphenol A, catechol, m- and p-cresol from industrial activities are discharged into surface water, soil, and air. Periodic monitoring of the impact of these toxic pollutants is needed for proper control and handling. These detrimental chemicals are usually measured using conventional methods with many drawbacks such as expensive analysis costs, long measurement times, requiring competent analysts, and complicated instrument maintenance. However, the presence of tyrosinase-based paper biosensors is now considered the most promising tool in overcoming the challenges mentioned earlier because they can detect these components quickly, precisely, accurately, inexpensively, and can be measured in situ. The working principle of this biosensor sees optical changes such as dyes, redox processes, and physicochemical properties (aggregation or dispersion) due to the presence of analytes accompanied by the occurrence of color changes that appear. This biosensor uses a layer-by-layer electrostatic method, which causes the deposition of multi-layered films on solid surfaces. In this paper, we review the development of the tyrosinase-based paper biosensor method for phenolic measurement in water, air, and food that gives better results than the conventional methods.

Published: October 2022

In the past two years, the term “Lying flat” has become popular rapidly. Lacking willpower, academic anxiety, employment pressure and other factors are the reasons for young people gradually lying flat. In order to escape the standard of success of social monism, people who immersed in the virtual world isolated themselves in the personal world. In order to ignore the external voices, they covered their ears. Rather than say not caring about the outside world’s opinions, they are more likely to be stubborn in their own “Intention”. The times are progressing. Young people are also the followers of the times and the trailblazers in life. Our young people should strive for self-improvement, keep the fervour for life, and pay attention to the psychology of the “Lying down” young people, it is of great significance to interfere with the growth of “Lying flat” youth, we should face up to the spiritual essence reflected by the phenomenon of “Lying flat”. The posture of the striver is always the same in the turn of the times. It is necessary to create a fair competition environment, strengthen the psychological supervision of the youth, and establish correct values, thus helping the “Lying flat” youth change into the “Struggling” youth.

Em um mercado cada vez mais competitivo, transformar dados em oportunidades de vendas é um diferencial para as empresas. Nesse sentido, ter e saber analisar dados de consumo de seus produtos junto aos clientes – e a partir daí projetar as vendas futuras – significa criar planos mais precisos, gerando receitas adicionais e evitando desperdício de recursos, como excesso ou falta de estoque na indústria e na rede de distribuição. Basear-se nos dados de consumo sell-out estimula a organização a ter foco no cliente, uma vez que esse é um dos principais indicadores considerados na decisão de (re)compra por distribuidores, cooperativas e grandes produtores. Ter a informação detalhada e frequência na leitura do sell-out ajuda a indústria de defensivos medir o desempenho de promoções e campanhas junto aos canais de vendas. Sob esse contexto, o objetivo geral deste trabalho foi fazer uma proposta de melhoria no processo de planejamento de vendas com base no indicador de consumo sell-out. A metodologia de estudo foi quantitativa, com a coleta de dados de 10 regionais de vendas e 17 produtos que, combinados, representam 70% do faturamento de uma empresa de defensivos agrícolas com alcance nacional. Como resultado, encontrou-se oportunidades de vendas adicionais correspondentes a 4% do faturamento anual da empresa (R$ 36.308.272,00) e, a partir disso, sugeriu-se uma ferramenta de análise massiva, “dashboard”, que compara a previsão de vendas “forecast” versus o histórico de consumo sell-out em diferentes granularidades.

Company Bankruptcy Prediction with SMOTE
Authors: Khara Mr. Dhruv
Published: October 2022

Abstract: Effective bankruptcy forecasting is essential for financial firms to make sound loan decisions. In general, the two most essential aspects influencing prediction performance are input variables (or features) such as financial ratios and prediction approaches such as statistical and machine learning techniques. While numerous relevant publications have presented innovative prediction algorithms, relatively few have examined the discriminating potential of bankruptcy prediction variables. In addition to financial ratios (FRs), corporate governance indicators (CGIs) have been identified as an important form of input variable in the literature. The prediction performance produced by merging CGIs with FRs, however, has not been thoroughly investigated. Only a subset of CGIs and FRs were employed in related investigations, and the characteristics used may vary from study to study. As a result, the goal of this work is to evaluate the prediction performance obtained by combining seven distinct FR categories and five different CGI categories. Based on a real-world dataset from Taiwan, the experimental results reveal that the FR categories of solvency and profitability, as well as the CGI categories of board structure and ownership structure, are the most critical variables in bankruptcy prediction. The best prediction model performance is determined by combining prediction accuracy, Type I/II errors, ROC curve, and misclassification cost. However, these findings may not be applicable in certain countries, such as China, where the definition of distressed enterprises is vague and the features of corporate governance measures are not explicit.

Maimani Language and Lawati Language: Two Sides of the Same Coin?
Authors: Al Jahdhami Said Humaid
Published: October 2022

The concomitance of several minority languages side by side with Arabic has played a significant role in enriching Oman’s linguistic diversity. Associated largely with the home domain, the vitality of these languages is highly dependent on the attention availed by their own native speakers to their usage and inter-generational transmission. The existence of some of these languages is not commonly recognised, nor is their status failsafe. Owing to a certain degree of lexical resemblance amongst these languages, inter alia, some of them are often viewed and presented as dialects of one another rather than distinct languages of their own, a fact that has fed into unmeant obliviousness of their existence. Unbeknownst to many people even in Oman, Maimani is one unique case that merits exploration. Due to some unsubstantiated linguistic and ethnic considerations, Maimani is often mistakenly viewed as a dialect diverging from Baluchi, an Indo-Iranian language spoken in Oman as well as other homeland countries such as Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. This paper, to that effect, is an attempt to cast some light on this understudied language and to bring it some due notice. A closer look at a sample of its lexicon based on the Swadesh one hundred word list reveals that Maimani has a slight portion of shared lexical items with Baluchi and a minimal degree of mutual intelligibility. Contrary to expectation, Maimani has plenty of common lexical items with Lawati, another nearby member of the Indo-Iranian language family that is not commonly linked to Maimani. The findings show that Maimani lexical resemblance and mutual intelligibility to Lawati is greatly significant that they appear to be dichotomous varieties branching from the same language.

Authors: Michael Major
Published: October 2022

Mario Boza forjó una fuerte alianza con el Cuerpo de Paz de los Estados Unidos y buscó activamente voluntarios para obtener ayuda durante los primeros días del desarrollo del sistema de parques nacionales. Mario reconoció el valor de los voluntarios del Cuerpo de Paz (PCV) ya que tenían educación universitaria, dominaban bien el español y estaban dispuestos a participar en cualquier tarea que se les pidiera sin protestar por las molestias. Mario inicialmente reclutó PCV en la década de 1970 para ayudar a desarrollar la infraestructura del naciente Servicio de Parques Nacionales, así como para realizar inventarios biológicos y documentación histórica de los parques propuestos. En la década de 1980, Mario se acercó nuevamente al Cuerpo de Paz para solicitar ayuda en una campaña nacional de educación ambiental para aumentar la conciencia sobre la necesidad de proteger las tierras silvestres y la biodiversidad de Costa Rica.

Background and Purpose: Invasive mucormycosis is a fatal disease caused
by Mucorales species. Treatment therapy for CAM includes aggressive
surgical debridement and systemic antifungals in Amphotericin B and
Posaconazole as step-down therapy in the follow-up period. Despite being
on oral antifungal Posaconazole therapy, patients have been observed to
have a recurrence of mucormycosis in the follow-up period. Experimental
Approach: An ambispective cohort study was done in the department of ENT
and Pharmacology of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS),
Bhubaneswar, from April 2021 to September 2022. It includes patients on
follow-up on the step-down therapy of Posaconazole. Medication adherence
was measured based on the half-life of Posaconazole and participants not
skipping a single dose. Key Results: The demographic data between the
recurrence and non-recurrence groups, including age, sex and duration of
stay, was not significant. Recurrence in mucormycosis was not found to
be associated with medication adherence. By both methods of calculating
medication adherence, the results were statistically insignificant. The
difference in onset of recurrence of the disease between the two groups
was statistically significant, with a p-value of 0.027 in patients who
did not skip a single dose of Posaconazole with a hazard ratio of 3.887.
There was a statistically significant difference in cost-effective
analysis with a p-value of 0.042 between groups. Conclusion and
Implications: Posaconazole medication adherence in the postoperative
period does not affect the recurrence of mucormycosis during step-down
therapy. However, it helps prolong the onset of disease recurrence in
patients adhering to the medication.

Objective: To evaluate whether acupuncture pretreatment followed by
letrozole leads to a higher live birth rate in PCOS when compared with
letrozole alone. Design: Multicenter randomised controlled trial.
Setting: Three hospitals in China. Population or Sample: Anovulatory
women with PCOS aged from 20 to 40 years who had at least one patent
tube. Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to receive
acupuncture pretreatment followed by letrozole (pretreatment group) or
letrozole alone (control group). Acupuncture pretreatment was given
three times per week for 16 weeks, and letrozole was given five days per
cycle for up to four cycles. Main outcome measures: The cumulative live
birth rate (defined as a delivery after 20 weeks’ gestation). Results:
The cumulative live birth rate was 41.1% (79/192) in the pretreatment
group and 34.4% (66/192) in the control group with no significant
difference between groups but was significantly higher in the
pretreatment group (48/98, 49.0%) among those with baseline HOMA-IR
<2.14, when compared with the control group (19/66, 28.8%).
No significant differences were found between groups stratified by the
letrozole cycle number, body mass index, age, PCOS phenotype, or
hyperandrogenism. Conclusions: Acupuncture pretreatment followed by
letrozole did not increase the cumulative live birth rate of anovulatory
women with PCOS when compared with letrozole alone but may increase the
cumulative live birth rate in those whose baseline HOMA-IR is
<2.14. Key words: acupuncture, letrozole, live birth, PCOS,
pretreatment
Atypical Polypoid Adenomyoma of The Uterus：Benign or malignant potential?
Authors: Sun Yue , Liu Guoyan
Published: October 2022

Atypical polypoid adenomyoma (APA) is considered as an uncommon benign
uterine tumor. However, more and more cases show that it has
characteristics similar to malignant tumor, such as high recurrence and
malignant transformation. There is no consensus on the standard
treatment for APA now. Total hysterectomy is the main treatment modality
for APA patients, but a conservative treatment can be performed in young
patients who wish to preserve their fertility. This article aims to
summarize the current knowledge about APA from several aspects, which
may provide theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of this rare
disease in the future.

Background Sarajevo Canton in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
has recorded several waves of high SARS-CoV-2 transmission and has
struggled to reach adequate vaccination coverage. We describe the
evolution of infection- and vaccine-induced SARS-CoV-2 antibody response
and persistence. Methods We conducted repeated cross-sectional analyses
of blood donors aged 18-65 years in Sarajevo Canton in November-December
2020 and 2021. We analyzed serum samples for anti-nucleocapsid (anti-N)
and anti-spike (anti-S) antibodies. To assess immune durability, we
conducted longitudinal analyses of seropositive participants at 6 and 12
months. Results 1015 participants were included in Phase 1
(November-December 2020), and 1152 in Phase 2 (November-December 2021).
Seroprevalence increased significantly from 19.2% (95% CI:
17.2-21.4%) in Phase 1 to 91.6% (95% CI: 89.8-93.1%) in Phase 2.
Anti-S IgG titers were significantly higher among vaccinated (58.5%)
than unvaccinated infected participants across vaccine products
(p<0.001), though highest among those who received an mRNA
vaccine. At 6 months, 78/82 (95.1%) participants maintained anti-spike
seropositivity; at 12 months, 58/58 (100.0%) participants were
seropositive and 33 (56.9%) had completed the primary vaccine series
within 6 months. Among 11 unvaccinated participants who were not
reinfected at 12 months, anti-S IgG declined from median 770.1 (IQR
615.0-1321.7) to 290.8 (IQR 175.7-400.3). Anti-N IgG antibodies waned
earlier; from 35.4% seropositive at 6 months to 24.1% at 12 months.
Conclusions SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence increased significantly over 12
months from end of 2020 to end of 2021. Although individuals with
previous infection may have residual protection, COVID-19 vaccination is
vital to strengthening population immunity.

Published: October 2022

This study applied the ZZ transformation and the new iterative transform
technique to obtain a fascinating explicit pattern for outcomes of the
biological population model. It makes important projections and helps us
understand the dynamical method of demographic fluctuations in
biological population models. Additionally, ZZ transforms combine
various other transformations that already exist. We used a complex
fractional transformation to deal with a fractional partial differential
equation and a new iterative transform approach to study the nonlinear
equations in examine the closed form solutions. In mathematics, the
number of equations and their solutions that have been discovered and
associated with different innovative properties of the proposed model. A
variety of images and tabulations are provided to provide extra context
for these notions. The suggested technique accuracy and efficiency imply
that it can be applied to a wide range of nonlinear evolutionary
problems.
Lie symmetry analysis, power series solutions and conservation laws of time fractional coupled Boussinesq-Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations
Authors: Yu Jicheng
Published: October 2022

In this paper, Lie symmetry analysis method is applied to time
fractional coupled Boussinesq-Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations, which is an
important model in physics. The obtained Lie symmetries are utilized to
reduce the system of fractional partial differential equations with
Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative to the system of fractional
ordinary differential equations with Erdélyi-Kober fractional
derivative. Then the power series method is applied to derive explicit
power series solutions for the reduced system. In addition, the new
conservation theorem and the generalization of Noether operators are
developed to construct the conservation laws for the equations studied.

Soil microbiomes were important regulators of plant productivity. Here,
we analyzed the correlations and differences in the microbiome present
in the plant and soil of sugarcane cultivars exhibiting different insect
resistance to investigate the role played by microbiome in crop insect
resistance. We evaluated microbiome of stems, top soil, rhizosphere
soil, and striped borers obtained from infested stems, as well as
chemical parameters of the soil. Results showed that microbiome
diversity was higher in stems of insect-resistant plants, and in
contrast, lower in soil of resistant plants, with fungi being more
pronounced than bacteria. The microbiome in plant stems was almost
entirely derived from the soil. The microbiome of insect-susceptible
plants and surrounding soil tended to change towards that of
insect-resistant plants after insect damage. Insects’ microbiome was
mainly derived from plant stems and partly from soil. Available
potassium showed extremely significant correlation with microbiome in
soil. This study validated the role played by the microbiome ecology of
plant-soil-insect system in insect resistance.
