Published: July 2024

It is well-known that the Mediterranean region is a hotspot area in which meteorological droughts concerns, as climate models point to an increase in drought severity there. Here our aim is to study the projected changes in the influence of moisture transport deficits on drought occurrence. The contribution to the precipitation from the major moisture sources of the Mediterranean region is considered, i.e., from the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea moisture sources. Statistical methods from the copula theory enabled us to estimate the conditional probability of drought occurrence given a contribution deficit from those sources, for the historical (1985-2014), mid-century (2036-2065) and end-century (2071-2100) periods. For this purpose, we make use of simulations based on dynamic downscaling by the high-resolution Eulerian mesoscale model Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) of the ERA5 reanalysis and the climate model Community Earth System Model Version 2 CESM2 model under the SSP5-8.5 scenario. We obtain that the pattern of the dominant moisture source, i.e., the one whose contribution deficit maximises drought probability, will remain relatively stable in the future. Moreover, our results point to a general increase in the conditional probabilities of drought occurrence given contribution deficits from the dominant source, for the mid-century and end-century periods, with respect to the historical one.

Published: July 2024

The fire season of 2023 was particularly devastating for Greece, with an estimated of around 175 000 ha, the second worst year since 1980 following the all-time record of 2007. More than 80 wildfires occurred in July over Attica region, Corfu, Evia and Rhodes islands, being responsible for 28 casualties and 75 injuries. The season was remarkably severe in the eastern sector of the West Thrace region in the northern continental Greece. A major fire started near the city of Alexandroupolis on 21st August and on 28th the main part of the Dadia forest and surrounding pine forests burnt, recording more than 80,000 ha and stated by EU officials as the largest recorded fire in the EU.The exceptionality of the 2023 fire activity in Greece will be evaluated, considering the spring drought conditions, summer heatwaves and strong wind patterns observed over the region. ERA5 reanalyses will be used to characterize drought conditions and heat extremes. Active fires from SEVIRI, MODIS and VIIRS programs will allow characterizing fire occurrence and severity. The role of synoptic conditions and weather extremes will be evaluated and related to fire activity and behavior.   Moreover, during the hydrological year of 2023, Northeastern Greece was struck by a winter drought and by summer heatwaves. Fire beahviour was linked with strong wind patterns that affected the region. Vegetation dynamics throughout the pre-fire period was analysed over the affected region using the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and Gross Primary Production (GPP) retrieved from MODIS data.  Spatial and temporal characterization of air pollutants over the region is performed, focusing particularly on the emissions of Particulate Matter (PM) and Carbon Monoxide (CM) during wildfire events, using the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring (CAMS) data.  The study attempts to bring new light to the synergistic effect between fuel availability and weather conditions that created extraordinary conditions for fire propagation. This study is partially supported by the Portuguese Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) I.P./MCTES through national funds (PIDDAC) – UIDB/50019/2020- IDL, project FAIR- 2022.01660.PTDC) and by “Fundos próprios para desenvolvimento de projetos de I&D” Project MEDCEX - reference: 100SPID8106.

Published: July 2024

Recent research reveals that extreme climate events arise from the complex interplay of multiple physical drivers across different spatial and temporal scales. Although traditional climate risk and impact assessments consider individual extreme events, it is the synergy of such events that can trigger cascading impacts. Compound climate events are defined as the combination of multiple drivers and/or hazards that contribute to societal or environmental risk. This work will address the field of extreme climate and weather events through the assessment of the co-occurrence of droughts and heatwave (CDHW) events, focusing on their impact on cultural heritage sites in the Mediterranean.Large-scale circulation drivers, such as atmospheric blocking, influence the occurrence and persistence of CDHW events. The scope of this study is to evaluate the current state of climate over the Mediterranean in terms of droughts and heatwaves, focusing on their compound impacts on cultural heritage sites, and identifying their large-scale atmospheric circulation drivers. The identification of the CDHW climatology is carried out through the improvement of an index tailored to the Mediterranean region. According to the peak-over-threshold approach, CDHW events occur when two or more contributing climate indicators simultaneously exceed a relative threshold. Multiple indicator combinations are examined, and an optimum compound index is developed that successfully quantifies the interrelations of droughts and heatwaves.Extensive statistical analysis is carried out to evaluate their frequency, duration, intensity, and trends for a 50-year period (1974-2023). The analysis is based on reanalysis products and follows a data-driven methodology. The role of large-scale atmospheric circulation drivers on the onset, duration, and intensity of CDHW events is examined using the synoptic climatology approach. This analysis provides the hot-spot regions of CDHW high-impact phenomena over the Mediterranean region and their association with large-scale atmospheric circulation, with a particular emphasis on the vulnerabilities of cultural heritage sites.

Abstract. As soil microbial respiration is the major component of land CO2 emissions, differences in the functional dependence of respiration on soil moisture among Earth system models (ESMs) contributes significantly to the uncertainties in their projections. Using soil organic C (SOC) stocks and CO2 data from a boreal forest–mire ecotone in Finland and Bayesian data assimilation, we revised the original precipitation-based monotonic saturation dependency of the Yasso07 soil carbon model using the non-monotonic Ricker function based on soil volumetric water content. We fit the revised functional dependency of moisture to the observed microbial respiration and SOC stocks and compared its performance against the original Yasso07 model and the version used in the JSBACH land surface model with a reduction constant for decomposition rates in wetlands. The Yasso07 soil C model coupled with the calibrated unimodal Ricker moisture function with an optimum in well-drained soils accurately reconstructed observed SOC stocks and soil CO2 emissions and clearly outperformed previous model versions on paludified organo-mineral soils in forested peatlands and water-saturated organic soils in mires. The best estimate of the posterior moisture response of decomposition used both measurements of SOC stocks and CO2 data from the full range of moisture conditions (from dry and xeric to wet and water-saturated soils). We observed unbiased residuals of SOC and CO2 data modelled with the moisture optimum in well-drained soils, suggesting that this modified function accounts more precisely for the long-term SOC change dependency according to ecosystem properties as well as the contribution of short-term CO2 responses including extreme events. The optimum moisture for decomposition in boreal forests was found in well-drained soils instead of the mid-range between dry and water-saturated conditions as is commonly assumed among soil C and ESMs. Although the unimodal moisture modifier with an optimum in well-drained soils implicitly incorporates robust biogeochemical mechanisms of SOC accumulation and CO2 emissions, it needs further evaluation with large-scale data to determine if its use in land surface models will decrease the uncertainty in projections.

We utilized Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to investigate the correlational and bidirectional relationship between corruption control and terrorism control in 65 developing countries panel data from year 2000 to 2019. Significance of various parameters of observed indicators has also been empirically assessed in this research that redefine the latent variables of corruption control and terrorism control. Our empirical findings support the idea that unchecked corrupt activities sustain and spread terrorism, especially in areas where formal economic and political frameworks are weak or nonexistent. The findings clearly indicate that ineffective corruption control in developing countries lead to reduced control over terrorism. Furthermore, our study empirically shows that terrorist acts are predominantly concentrated in regions plagued by internal and external conflicts. Countries with significant military involvement in politics face a higher threat of terrorist activities. Additionally, an efficient, active, and impartial judiciary is crucial for combating corruption at all levels. The findings of this research underscore the critical need for governments in every developing country to implement economic reforms anchored in incentives to stabilize and regulate the political economy. Effectively controlling corrupt activities and terrorism offers the potential to facilitate the efficient allocation of resources and promote sustained economic growth in these nations.

Authors: Saif Imam Syed
Published: July 2024

Oral cancer is a malignant neoplasia which arises on the lip or oral cavity, due to this there can be increase in the inflammation and proliferation of cells of lip or oral cavity. Genistein, Cinnamaldehyde, Trans-Resveratrol and Formononetin possess potent anti-inflammatory and anti-cancerous potential. A sublingual formulation is prepared by combining above APIs with transfersomes and excipients like pullulan, sodium starch glycolate, mannitol, magnesium stearate, talc, Povidone k-30, Croscarmellose Na and mannose for quick and better pharmacological action with lesser side effects and higher permeability rate. This formulation easily penetrates the layers of oral cells and acts on cancerous cells of oral cavity by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines LPS, TNFα, IL1, IL6, COX-2, LOX, oxidative stress, Bcl-2, Bax and lowers the metastasis of cells. It also downregulates KIF20A, ERK1/2, cIAP-2, survivin, cyclin D1, suppresses matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3, MMP-9, COX-2, VEGF and STAT3. Before preparation, the formulation will be tested on pre-compression parameters of powder which are angle of repose, bulk density, tap bulk density, Compressibility index and Hausner’s ratio. The tablets will be prepared by direct compression method and after preparation; the formulation will be tested on post-compression parameters which are tablet thickness, weight variation, and tablet hardness, tablet friability, wetting time, drug content uniformity, disintegration test, In-vitro drug release study and assay testing on RAW264.7 cell line. This formulation doesn’t produce any severe side effects and also it is much cheaper, expeditious and effective than traditional chemotherapies it is also non-invasive and lowers the chances of re-occurrence of cancer.

What is the Role of Spatial Attention in Statistical Learning During Visual Search?
Authors: Golan Aidai , Ramgir Aniruddha , Lamy Dominique
Published: July 2024

Our ability to learn the regularities embedded in our environment is a fundamental aspect of our cognitive system. Does such statistical learning depend on attention? Research on this topic is scarce and has yielded mixed findings. In this preregistered study, we examined the role of spatial attention in statistical learning, and specifically in learned distractor-location suppression. This phenomenon refers to the finding that during visual search, participants are better at ignoring a salient distractor at a high-probability location than at low-probability locations – a bias persisting long after the probability imbalance has ceased. Participants searched for a shape-singleton target and a color-singleton distractor was sometimes present. During the learning phase, the color-singleton distractor was more likely to appear in the high-probability location than in the low-probability locations. Crucially, we manipulated spatial attention by having the experimental group focus their attention on the target’s location in advance of the search display, using a 100%-informative spatial precue, while the control group was presented with a neutral, uninformative cue. During the subsequent test phase, the color-singleton distractor was equally likely to appear at any location and there were no cues. As expected, the results for the neutral-cue group replicated previous findings. Crucially, for the informative-cue group, interference from the distractor was minimal when attention was diverted from it (during learning) and no statistical learning was observed during test. Intertrial priming accounted for the small statistical-learning effect found during learning. These findings show that statistical learning in visual search requires attention.

Esta obra aborda el tema del emprendimiento, entendido como una capacidad que tiene un profesionista para identificar un área de negocio, crear o mantener operando de manera exitosa una empresa, no obstante, para que esto se logre es importante que el profesionista disponga de las habilidades, capacidades y experiencias las cuales, usualmente, adquiere durante su paso por los servicios de educación superior. La relevancia de esta obra radica en poner su enfoque en la infraestructura (física, administrativa, humana) que una universidad pone a disposición de un estudiante para lograr desarrollar dichas competencias. El emprendimiento cobra relevancia en la sociedad como una estrategia para promover el crecimiento económico y reactivar la actividad económica, lo cual se puede lograr a través de la creación-consolidación de empresas, que a su vez crea empleos e ingresos, lo que repercute a su vez, en una mejor calidad de vida de las personas y su entorno. Los autores que participan en esta obra resaltan el papel que tiene la universidad en el desarrollo regional y exponen los factores que ellos consideran, resultado de un proceso de investigación, como determinantes para incidir positivamente en la formación y desarrollo de habilidades, capacidades y competencias de los alumnos para llegar a ser emprendedores, lo cual sirve como punto de partida para avanzar en el diseño de programas educativos con un modelo de enseñanza-aprendizaje eficiente para promover el emprendimiento. La evidencia mostrada nos permite identificar que las universidad requieren integrar en su modelo de gestión y programas educativos una infraestructura que facilita el desarrollo de las competencias emprendedoras a sus alumnos como laboratorios de ideas-creatividad, incubadoras-aceleradoras de negocios, desarrollo de startup, financiamiento semilla, estancias empresariales, participación en actividades de investigación, vínculos con los parques industriales y científicos, realizar actividades de internacionalización, vinculación para la atención de las necesidades de las empresas, el gobierno y de la sociedad, entre otras. Todo ello le permite a los jóvenes en el corto plazo una mayor empleabilidad y, en el mediano y largo plazo, incidir en la consolidación de la estructura económica del país.
Chemical Society Y Pharmaceuthical Society Of Great Britain: Parallel Lifes
Authors: García Asuero Agustín
Published: July 2024

This report reviews the creation and beginnings of two important scientific societies, the “Chemical Society of London”, and the “Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain”. The similarity is noted in terms of their starting point and establishment of specific objectives, e.g., the practice of chemistry. Differences are observed in the admission criteria, which are more restrictive by the “Chemical Society”. Both societies are the result of the process of differentiation of science, and the reaffirmation of professional sentiment and the rights associated with the practice of the trade. Key figures are reviewed in both cases, highlighting in the case of the “Chemical Society” the German influence on British chemistry. The search for a headquarters that satisfies the material needs and the fulfilment of the entrusted missions involves a long pilgrimage. The “Chemical Society of London” soon became the “Chemical Society” and later became the “Royal Society of Chemistry”. The “Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain” became the “Royal Pharmaceutical Society” over the years.

Comparison of Efficiency of Incinerated Biomedical Ash and Biochar as Adsorbent in Removal of Chromium (VI)
Authors: Melchi R. Branham , Nithya S. Evany
Published: July 2024

Removal of heavy metals from wastewater is a challenging task. Tanneries play very important role in the economic growth of our country. However, they also discharge wastewater containing Cr (VI) which poses environmental hazards to the receiving water bodies. Though, many methods are available for the removal of heavy metals, adsorption is a widely used method. Conventionally, activated carbon is used as an adsorbent for treating Metal-ion contaminated wastewater due to its high efficacy rate but the problem with the usage of activated carbon is limited due to its high cost and difficulty in regeneration. A study has been carried out to determine the feasibility of biochar from garden litter and ash from biomedical wastes to remove chromium ions. The maximum removal of Cr(VI) was found to be 64.71% while using biochar and 77.45% while using Incinerated Biomedical Ash at a metal concentration 10 ppm with a contact time of 60 minutes. The R2 value from the regression analysis for both the adsorbents showed a good fit between the experimental results and the model predictions.

Elicitor: A Tool for Rapid In-vitro Screening of Disease Resistance in Colocasia
Authors: Jena Nandita
Published: July 2024

The cell wall glucans were isolated from Phytopthora colocasiae that induce defense mechanism in Colocasia and the technique for in vitro screening of the Colocasia varieties for leaf blight resistance using the elicitor has been standardized. Colocasia, the important crop used as vegetable is affected by Phytophthora colocasiae which causes the leaf blight disease. Cell wall glucans were isolated from the mycelial cell walls of P. colocasiae. The elicitor was inoculated on the cut Colocasia leaves of ten local cultivars of Odisha to study the hypersensitive reaction. The hypersensitivity reaction in resistant cultivars was detected within 48-72 hours of incubation. The field tolerant cultivars Dhalasaru, Panisaru and Sankhasaru showed quick hypersensitive reaction by necrosis which was delayed or not expressed distinctly in the susceptible cultivars viz., Kalasaru, Satyabhama and Kujisaru cultivated in Orissa. Varietal screening for disease resistant in field condition of crop plants are time consuming and expensive. That also partially regulated by other biotic and abiotic factors and environmental conditions. But in-vitro screening is very fast, time saving, economic and free of other external factors. To monitor the response in resistant and susceptible hosts, elicitor injection and systemic induction in pot culture is easier than that under field condition. So the elicitor preparations will be useful for screening of Colocasia germplasm for resistance against leaf blight.
