This study investigates the molecular prevalence and phylogenetic characteristics of two prominent blood-borne pathogens,Toxoplasma gondii(T.gondii) andPlasmodiumspp., in common quails (Coturnix coturnix) sampled from both wild (N = 236) and farmed (N = 197) populations across four districts (Layyah, Dera Ghazi Khan, Lahore, and Multan) in Punjab, Pakistan, during the hunting seasons from 2021 to 2023. Additionally, the impact of these pathogens on the complete blood count (CBC) of the hosts is examined. Out of 433 quails tested, 25 (5.8%) exhibited amplification of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS-1) gene forT.gondii, while 15 (3.5%) showed amplification of theCytochrome bgene forPlasmodiumspp. A risk factor analysis indicated that the prevalence of both pathogens was not confined to specific sampling sites or bird sexes (P > 0.05). District-wise analysis highlighted that hens were more susceptible to bothT.gondiiandPlasmodiumspp. infections than cocks. Wild quails exhibited a higher susceptibility toT.gondiicompared to farmed birds. Significant CBC variations were recorded in infected birds as compared to uninfected ones. BLAST analysis of generated sequences has confirmed the identity of recovered PCR amplicons asT.gondiiandPlasmodium relictum. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Pakistani isolates clustered with those reported from various countries globally. This study provides the first documentation ofT.gondiiandPlasmodiumsp. infections in Pakistani quails, underscoring the need for detailed investigations across different regions to enhance our understanding of infection rates and the zoonotic potential of these parasites.

Published: May 2024

The spread of drug-resistant bacteria into the community is an urgent threat. In most low-middle-income countries (LMICs) settings, community-acquired infection (CAI) is empirically treated with no data to support the choice of antibiotics, hence contributing to resistance development. Continuous antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data on community-acquired pathogens are needed to draft empirical treatment guidelines, especially for areas with limited culture and susceptibility testing. Despite the importance of addressing antibiotic-resistant pathogens in the community setting, protocols for the surveillance of AMR bacterial infections are lacking in most (LMICs). We present a protocol for surveillance of AMR in LMICs using urinary tract infection (UTI) as a proxy for CAI to enable users to quantify and establish the drivers of AMR bacteria causing UTI. The protocol intends to assist users in designing a sustainable surveillance program for AMR in the community involving children above two years of age and adults presenting to a primary health facility for healthcare. Implementation of the protocol requires initial preparation of the laboratories to be involved, surveillance areas, selection of priority bacteria and antimicrobials to be used, and the design of a coordinated sampling plan. Recruitment should occur continuously in selected health facilities for at least 12 months to observe seasonal trends of AMR. At least 10 mL of clean-catch mid-stream urine must be collected into 20 mL calibrated sterile screw-capped universal bottles lined with 0.2 mg boric acid and transported to the testing laboratory. Utilise the data system that generates standard reports for patient care to be shared internally and externally in the regions and the world through global platforms such as the Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System.
Forest structure, plants, arthropods, scale, or birds’ functional groups: What key factor are forest birds responding to?

Published: May 2024

Forest birds respond to a diverse set of environmental factors, including those altered by forest management intensity, such as resource and habitat availability in the form of food or nesting sites. Although resource/habitat availability and bird traits likely mediate responses of bird diversity to global change drivers, no study has assessed the direct and indirect effects of changes in forest management and traits on bird assemblages jointly at large spatial scales. In this context the questions remain whether (1) the birds’ response to forest management changes through alterations in structural properties and/or food availability, or (2) if birds’ eco-morphological traits act as environmental filters in response to environmental factors. We audio-visually recorded birds at 150 forest plots in three regions of Germany and assessed the forest structure (LiDAR) as well as the diversity of the herbaceous layer and diversity and biomass of arthropods. We further assessed eco-morphological traits of the birds and tested if effects on bird assemblages are mediated by changes in eco-morphological traits’ composition. We found that abundance and species numbers of birds are explained best by models including the major environmental factors, forest structure, plants, and arthropods. Eco-morphological traits only increased model fit for indirect effects on abundance of birds. We found minor differences between the three regions in Germany, indicating spatial congruency of the processes at the local and regional scale. Our results suggest that most birds are not specialized on a particular food type, but that the size, diversity and species composition of arthropods are important. Our findings question the general view that bird traits adapt to the resources available.
Spatiotemporal differentiation and analysis of factors influencing high-quality development of resource-based cities: An empirical study based in China
Authors: Liu Jun , Lin Changchun , Wang Xin , Liu Xiuli
Published: May 2024

Resource-based cities often face problems such as resource scarcity and insufficient electricity to achieve complex high-quality growth. At present, there is relatively little research on the impact on the high-quality development of such cities. To study the key variables that affect the high-quality growth of resource-based cities, we adopt entropy weighted TOPSIS technology, spatial correlation analysis, and spatial econometric models. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The overall high-quality development of resource-based cities in China is on the rise year by year; The cities with the highest growth rates are those that are mature, rejuvenated, growing, and declining. (2) Resource-based cities have a positive geographical correlation in high-quality development, and different numbers of clusters are displayed by changing the Moran I index score. (3) High quality development is strongly influenced by human capital, urbanization, technological innovation, and global market openness. There are significant differences in the ways in which these variables affect various types of resource-based cities. Policy makers who strive to reduce regional inequality and encourage high-quality growth in resource-based communities may benefit greatly from the insights provided by this study.
The comprehensive impact of thermal-PM2.5 interaction on subjective evaluation of urban outdoor space: A pilot study in a cold region of China
Authors: Lin Dahu , Gao Sujing , Zhen Meng
Published: May 2024

Urban outdoor space has a very important impact on the quality of people’s outdoor activities, which has influenced people’s health and moods. Its influence is the result of the combined action of various factors. Thermal and air quality environment are important factors affecting the overall comfort of the urban outdoor space. At present, there are few research on interaction with thermal and air quality environment. Therefore, a meteorological measurement and questionnaire survey have been conducted in a representative open space in a campus in Xi’an, China. The following are the research results:(1) Mean physiological equivalent temperature (MPET) is a significant factor affecting thermal sensation vote (TSV) and thermal comfort vote (TCV). PM2.5 has no significant effect on thermal comfort vote (TCV), but it is a considerable factor affecting thermal sensation vote (TSV) when 10.2°C ≤ MPET<21°C (P = 0.023 *). (2) PM2.5 is a significant factor affecting air quality vote (AQV) and breathing comfort vote (BCV).Mean physiological equivalent temperature (MPET) has no significant impact on air quality vote (AQV), but it is a considerable factor affecting breathing comfort vote (BCV) when 10.2°C ≤ MPET<21°C (P = 0.01 **). (3) Mean physiological equivalent temperature (MPET) is a significant factor affecting overall comfort vote (OCV), but PM2.5 is not. In general, When 10.2°C ≤ MPET<21°C (-0.5 < -0.37 ≤ TCV ≤ 0.12 <0.5), the interaction between thermal and PM2.5 environment is significant on thermal sensation vote (TSV) and breathing comfort vote (BCV). This study can provide experimental support for the field of multi-factor interaction, which has shown that improving the thermal environment can better breathing comfort, while reducing PM2.5 concentration can promote thermal comfort. And can also provide reference for the study of human subjective comfort in urban outdoor space in the same latitude of the world.

Proper cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) plant genotyping is mandatory for the conservation and use of the species genetic resources. A set of 15 international standard SSR markers was assumed as universal cacao genotyping system. Recently, different SNPs and SNP genotyping techniques have been exploited in cacao. However, a consensus on which to use has not been reached yet, driving the search for new approaches. To validate a new ddRADseq protocol for cacao genotyping, we compared the performances for population analysis of a dataset with 7,880 SNPs obtained from ddRADseq and the genotypic data from the aforementioned SSR set, using 158 cacao plants from productive farms and gene bank. Four genetic groups were identified with STRUCTURE and ADMIXTURE softwares using SSR and SNP data, respectively. Similarities of cacao ancestries among these groups allowed the identification of analogous pairs of groups of individuals, referred to as: G1SSR/G1SNP, G2SSR/G2SNP, G3SSR/G3SNP, G4SSR/G4SNP, whether SSRs or SNPs were used. Both marker systems identified Amelonado and Criollo as the most abundant cacao ancestries among all samples. Genetic distance matrices from both data types were significantly similar to each other according to Mantel test (p < 0.0001). PCoA and UPGMA clustering mostly confirmed the identified genetic groups. AMOVA and FST pairwise comparison revealed a moderate to very large genetic differentiation among identified groups from SSR and SNP data. Genetic diversity parameters from SSR (Hobs = 0.616, Hexp = 0.524 and PIC = 0.544) were higher than that from SNP data (0.288, 0.264, 0.230). In both cases, genetic groups carrying the highest Amelonado proportion (G1SSR and G1SNP) had the lowest genetic diversity parameters among the identified groups. The high congruence among population analysis results using both systems validated the ddRADseq protocol employed for cacao SNP genotyping. These results could provide new ways for developing a universal SNP-based genotyping system very much needed for cacao genetic studies.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa senses and responds to epithelial potassium flux via Kdp operon to promote biofilm

Mucosa-associated biofilms are associated with many human disease states, but the host mechanisms promoting biofilm remain unclear. In chronic respiratory diseases like cystic fibrosis (CF), Pseudomonas aeruginosa establishes chronic infection through biofilm formation. P. aeruginosa can be attracted to interspecies biofilms through potassium currents emanating from the biofilms. We hypothesized that P. aeruginosa could, similarly, sense and respond to the potassium efflux from human airway epithelial cells (AECs) to promote biofilm. Using respiratory epithelial co-culture biofilm imaging assays of P. aeruginosa grown in association with CF bronchial epithelial cells (CFBE41o-), we found that P. aeruginosa biofilm was increased by potassium efflux from AECs, as examined by potentiating large conductance potassium channel, BKCa (NS19504) potassium efflux. This phenotype is driven by increased bacterial attachment and increased coalescence of bacteria into aggregates. Conversely, biofilm formation was reduced when AECs were treated with a BKCa blocker (paxilline). Using an agar-based macroscopic chemotaxis assay, we determined that P. aeruginosa chemotaxes toward potassium and screened transposon mutants to discover that disruption of the high-sensitivity potassium transporter, KdpFABC, and the two-component potassium sensing system, KdpDE, reduces P. aeruginosa potassium chemotaxis. In respiratory epithelial co-culture biofilm imaging assays, a KdpFABCDE deficient P. aeruginosa strain demonstrated reduced biofilm growth in association with AECs while maintaining biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces. Furthermore, we determined that the Kdp operon is expressed in vivo in people with CF and the genes are conserved in CF isolates. Collectively, these data suggest that P. aeruginosa biofilm formation can be increased by attracting bacteria to the mucosal surface and enhancing coalescence into microcolonies through aberrant AEC potassium efflux sensed by the KdpFABCDE system. These findings suggest host electrochemical signaling can enhance biofilm, a novel host-pathogen interaction, and potassium flux could be a therapeutic target to prevent chronic infections in diseases with mucosa-associated biofilms, like CF.

Published: May 2024

The current study examined the levels of antioxidants superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione (GSH), and Malondialdehyde (MDA) and repro ductive hormones (progesterone, estrogen, and cortisol) in pregnant local breed ewes and after lambing in the Basrah governorate. Twenty ewes were used in this study from several fields in the Basrah gov ernorate. Blood sample collection was done in three different periods, pre-lambing, immediately after lambing, and two weeks after lambing. The result showed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in SOD, CAT, and GSH-px activity before and during lambing compared to after lambing. The results also con firmed a significant increase (p<0.05) in the level of GSH pre and during lambing compared to after lambing. While evaluating, the level of MDA revealed a significant increase (p<0.05) in its level dur ing lambing compared to two weeks after lambing. Hormonal analysis showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in the levels of cortisol and estradiol pre and during lambing compared to after lambing, with a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the levels of progesterone after lambing compared to before lambing. This study concluded that during lambing, ewes were under stress factors, and an internal mechanism represented by enzymatic antioxidants like SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px acted actively during this period to neutralize the side effects of stress.

The study aimed to investigate the effect of using eggshell waste or eggshell extract as organic calcium source in feed on the physiological conditions and intestines of broilers. A total of 392 one-day-old chicks were randomly distributed into four groups (10 birds each group), CONT (control diet con taining 1% limestone as an inorganic calcium source), EGFL (feed containing 1% eggshell powder as an organic calcium source), EEG1 (feed containing 1% eggshell extracted with Averrhoa bilimbi L. fruit filtrate as an organic calcium source), and EEG05 (feed containing 0.5% eggshell extracted using A. bilimbi L. fruit filtrate). Body weight and feed intake were recorded weekly, whereas blood, intesti nal content, and small intestinal segments were collected at day 35. Our results showed that during days 8-35, weight gain and feed consumption were lower (P<0.05) in EEG05 than in CONT and EGFL. Thymus relative weight tended (P=0.08) to be lower in EEG05 than in CONT, and gizzard was lower (P<0.05) in EGFL than in CONT and EEG05. Serum total triglyceride was significantly higher in CONT than in other groups. Moreover, serum high-density lipoprotein was higher in EEG1 and EE G05 than in CONT (P<0.05). furthermore, serum albumin were higher (P<0.05) in EEG1 than in CONT, EGFL and EEG05. Additionally, serum uric acid was higher (P<0.05) in EEG1 than in EGFL and EEG05. Among the groups, SGPT levels were lowest (P<0.05) in EEG05 birds. While there was no effect (P>0.05) of treatments on coliform and lactic acid bacteria in the ileum and caecum, jejunal crypt depth tended (P=0.09) to be lower in EEG1 and EEG05 than in CONT and EGFL broilers. Con clusively, using 1% eggshell powder or eggshell extract in feed as the substitute for limestone had no detrimental effect on broiler chickens’ growth, physiological status and intestinal condition. Hence, eggshell powder or eggshell extracted with A. bilimbi L. fruit filtrate can be used as an organic calcium source to replace limestone.

Published: May 2024

Circularly polarized light emitting active materials are of great interest, and the convenient tuning of the circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) remains a significant challenge. Integrating fluorescent materials into chiral photonic crystals to achieve tunable CPL is a promising approach, allowing efficient manipulation of CPL by adjusting the photonic band gap (PBG). We combined carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), which self-assembles into a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC). The helical structure can selectively reflect right circularly polarized (RCP) light, achieving strong circular dichroism (CD) and high CPL dissymmetry factor g
lum. In addition, the chiral template is thermo-responsive. The CPL wavelength can be adjusted by regulating the PBG position through temperature adjustment, while the chirality of CPL keeps high especially in the heating process. This work enables stimuli-responsive manipulation of CPL under one template through temperature regulation, which may open up enormous possibilities for the cellulose-based material in different areas.
Enhancement of third-harmonic generation in all-dielectric kite-shaped metasurfaces driven by quasi-bound states in the continuum
Authors: Hsiao Hui-Hsin , Hsieh Jou-Chun , Liu Ai-Yin , Lin Kuang-I , Hsu Yi-Chien
Published: May 2024

We develop a new all-dielectric metasurface for designing high quality-factor (Q-factor) quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs) using asymmetry kite-shaped nanopillar arrays. The Q-factors of quasi-BICs follow the quadratic dependence on the geometry asymmetry, and meanwhile their resonant spectral profiles can be readily tuned between Fano and Lorentzian lineshapes through the interplay with the broadband magnetic dipole mode. The third-harmonic signals of quasi-BIC modes exhibit a gain from 43.4- to 634-fold enhancement between samples with an axial-length difference of 15 nm and 75 nm when reducing the numerical aperture of the illuminating objective lenses in nonlinear measurement, which is attributed to the increasing illumination spot size and the less contribution from the large oblique incident light for establishing quasi-BIC modes with high-Q spectral profile and strong near-field intensity. The silicon-based metasurfaces with their simple geometry are facile for large-area fabrication and open new possibilities for the optimization of upconversion processes to achieve efficient nonlinear devices.
Justin, Tatian and the Forging of a Christian Voice
Authors: Whitmarsh Tim
Published: May 2024

This article considers the construction of the speaking subject in Justin’s First Apology and Tatian’s To the Greeks, two interlocking texts (often associated with the problematic genre of Christian apologetics). Bracketing questions of biographical reality, it explores the fictionalising techniques Justin and Tatian adopt to magnify their own authority, co-opt well-known narrative models (including martyrologies and imitatio Christi) in the service of their own self-fashioning. I take their autobiographies as stylised self-dramatisations, rather than guides to historical realities. There are strong parallels with the kind of self-modelling that we see in the works of pagan sophists of the era, notably Dio Chrysostom. Reading these two authors in this way blurs the sharp distinctions they seek to draw between Christian and pagan. It also requires a reading of their texts, in line with recent scholarship, as generically complex, sophisticated and absorbent, and open to the opportunistic appropriation of elements characteristic of pagan literature of the era. Foucault has argued that the voice of early Christianity was characterised by its confessional quality, which was new, confident and distinctive; this article argues, by contrast, that Justin and Tatian at any rate were intellectual bricoleurs and experimentalists, and had much more in common with their pagan peers.

Published: May 2024

Cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and is an important barrier to lengthening life expectancy in every country. Natural products are receiving increased attention from researchers globally and increasing numbers of natural products are approved for clinical studies involving cancer in recent years. To gain more insight into natural products that have undergone clinical trials for cancer treatment, a comprehensive search was conducted. The https://clinicaltrials.gov website was searched for relevant clinical trials and natural product information up to December 2022. The search terms included different types of cancers, such as colorectal, lung, breast, gynecologic, kidney, bladder, melanoma, pancreatic, hepatocellular, gastric and haematologic. Then, PubMed and Web of Science were searched for relevant articles up to February 2024. Hence, we listed existing clinical trials about natural products used in the treatment of cancers and discussed the preclinical and clinical studies of some promising natural products and their targets, indications, and underlying mechanisms of action. Our intent was to provide basic information to readers who are interested or majoring in natural products and obtain a deeper understanding of the progress and actions of natural product mechanisms of action.
Egyptian Things: Translating Egypt to Early Imperial Rome
Authors: Kelting Edward William
Published: May 2024

After the deaths of Antony and Cleopatra, Rome finally took control of Egypt. This occupation simultaneously facilitated and circumscribed the exchange of goods, people, and ideas along the paths carved across Rome’s burgeoning empire. In this book, Edward Kelting sets out to recapture one of these systems of exchange: the vibrant literary tradition known as Aegyptiaca—or “Egyptian things”—in which culturally mixed authors wrote about Egypt for a Greek and Roman audience. These authors have been dismissed as not really “Egyptian,” and their contemporary popularity has been ignored. But as Kelting powerfully argues, this genre in fact constitutes a vibrant intellectual tradition, developed from heterogeneous influences but deeply engaged with Egypt’s pharaonic past. In contrast to usual narratives of Roman domination, Kelting uncovers a complex project of political engagement and cultural translation in which Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all participated.
LITHIUM IN THE SUBSOIL OF UKRAINE Part 6. Genesis of lithium-bearing objects: chamber pegmatites of the Korosten pluton, the Perzhansky ore node, hydrothermals of the Nagolnyi Ridge (Donetsk Basin)
Authors: Pavlyshyn V.I. , Cherniyenko N.M.
Published: May 2024

The genesis of lithium-bearing objects was characterized in the following sequence: chamber pegmatites of the Korosten pluton, the Perzhansky ore node, hydrothermals of the Nagolnyi Ridge (Donetsk basin). Chamber pegmatites of Volyn were genetically considered in the following aspect: 1) connection of pegmatites with host rocks; 2) the main stages of pegmatite formation — magmatic, pneumatolite, mineral formation in sinkholes, hydrothermal-metasomatic; 3) methods of formation of minerals — growth of minerals in magmatic melt and formation of graphic zone; recrystallization of magmatic material and the formation of pegmatoid, block and monomineral zones; the formation of an overburden and the free growth of crystals, including giant crystals. Physico-chemical conditions for the formation of pegmatites are given based on the results of the study of the inclusions of the mineral-forming environment. The Perzhansky ore node is a complex multi-metallic structure in which genetically different types of mineralization coexist, which are not predicted by classical mineragenic concentrations. The authors develop a hypothesis according to which the formation of ore-bearing metasomatites was carried out under the action of solutions that separated from the magma that produced the Perzhansky granites and deep fluids. A new vision of the formation of the Perzhansky deposit was born according to which CO2 fluids — products of degassing, probably ultra-basic magma — took part in the crystallization of its mineralization. Gentgelvin crystals grew during metasomatization of granites (pneumatolithic-hydrothermal processing of rocks) at T = 500-250 °С. The Nagolnyi Ridge hydrothermals are a mysterious structure in the genetic sense, primarily because sulfide mineralization (galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, etc.) is associated with lithium mineralization (cookeite, donbasite). Based on the analysis of the results of a detailed study of the most common mineral of hydrothermal veins — quartz, and the general mineralogy of the veins, the following conclusion was made: vein formations of the Nagolnyi Ridge are not typical hydrothermal veins of either post-magmatic or metamorphogenic origin. According to the general history of their formation, they are closest to the so-called veins of the hydrothermal-alpine type. The share of impurity meteoric water in juvenile water could reach 50%.
GÖTZENITE IN THE NEPHELINE SYENITES OF THE POKROVO-KYRIYIVO MASSIF (AZOV AREA, UKRAINE)
Authors: Dubyna O.V. , Kryvdik S.G.
Published: May 2024

The nepheline syenites of the Pokrovo-Kyriyivo massif in the junction zone of the Dnieper-Donets Rift and the Priazoviаn block of the Ukrainian Shield contain numerous of rare-metal minerals, among them götzenite is the most common. The nepheline syenites are divided into malignites (melanocratic, early) and juvites (leucocratic, late) based on their mineralogical characteristics. In both varieties, the götzenite is presented as euhedral or subhedral grains with a poikilitic texture (numerous rounded inclusions of nepheline). Among rock-forming minerals are observed feldspar, annite, aegirine (± alkaline amphibole), titanite, strontianite ± sodalite ± cancrinite ± Sr-apatite ± calcite ± natrolite. Usually götzenite in malignites has a 'patchy' zonation due to the presence of metasomatically altered areas in the central parts, which have a lower content of Ca, Na, Sr and F, and a higher Si, relative to the outer parts. In comparation to juvite, the götzenite of malignite is more enriched in Zr, Nb and REE, with a low Y content in both types of rocks. A notable feature of the götzenite is high Sr content (up to 3 wt. % SrO), but low Nb (often up to 1.3 wt. % Nb2O5) and REE (often up to 2.4, rarely up to 5.6 wt. % REE2O3). The occurrence of götzenite in nepheline syenites of the Pokrovo-Kyriyivo massif is related with the early stage of the alkaline silicate melt differentiation with increasing activity of Na and volatile components, especially F. During götzenite crystallization the majority of REE and HFSE remained in the fluid as soluble complexes and precipitate own minerals at the postmagmatic stage. This is confirmed by presence of fine inclusions of fluorobritholite-(Ce), strontianite and burbankite in cleavage fractures, in miarole-like inclusions — aeschynite-(Ce), pyrochlore group mineral, bastnaesite, burbankite, etc. The Sr enrichment of götzenite can be explained by early crystallization from an Sr-enriched alkaline silicate melt and the absence of another Ca-rich rock-forming minerals or by external introduction of CO2-F fluids enriched in Sr and REE separated from a carbonatite melt.

Mediatization of war in the focus of scientific theories and analytical practices
Authors: Hudoshnyk Oksana , Bucharska Iryna
Published: May 2024

The review article presents contemporary theories on the mediatization of war and discursive practices of media analysis. The methodology for the selection of materials was based on international scientometric and bibliographic databases. The analysed content (more than 120 books and articles in the initial sample, 87 in the final sample) was selected on the Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases using keywords (mediatization; mediatization of war; Russian-Ukrainian war and media; digital war) and filters.
The structure proposed by the authors integrates three problem areas: different stages of mediatization of war and conflict in relation to leading theories; interpretative methods of analysis and general results of the effectiveness of narrative and framing analysis methods; the most illustrative discussions within each of the proposed theories. The current Ukrainian issues have been included in each section and subsection of the proposed article.
The main focus is on the academic material that deals with the mediatization of conflicts and crises and actively links well-known actors in communication work with the corresponding strategy of media impact and influence.
The deployment of different phases of the mediatization of war in genesis is presented on the basis of the theory of А. Hoskins and B. O'Loughlin, with a separate exclusion of Digital War as an umbrella term, the interpretation of which goes beyond the traditional interdisciplinary framework.
This latest scholarly content brings together articles on the revolutionary impact of technological developments on the course of war (drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, cyber weapons, precision munitions, etc. ), the effects of digital technologies in the new ecology of war (mobile, participatory, proxy warfare, digital violence, propaganda), and finally, the new logic of war, in which the oversaturation of media content leads to a decrease in global attention, empathic burnout, and, most controversially, to a systemic crisis of humanitarian knowledge and, despite its documentation and dissemination, to forgetting.
The current state and main problems of Hungarian native language education
Authors: Jánk István
Published: May 2024

The paper aims to present the current state, problems, challenges and opportunities of Hungarian native language education. It does so as a tribute to the memory and oeuvre of László Kálmán, who passed away in 2021, and as a way of preserving his approach characterized by a critical approach, but also by a focus on possible solutions. On the one hand, the study outlines the goals and tasks of native language education, including language teaching, drawing heavily on the concept of communicative competence as defined and represented by László Kálmán (see e.g. Kálmán 2010; Kálmán & Molnár 2009). On the other hand, the current state of native language education is described in the light of this framework. In addition to the current regulation of the content of native language education, the study will also describe the current situation with regard to the available teaching aids and textbooks. In this context, and partly independently of it, the paper will examine the question of what major areas of native language education need to be changed and what opportunities are available in this respect.
Gaining a Foothold
Authors: Bacaller Sarah
Published: May 2024

I was born into a church and a family governed by dichotomous frameworks of right/wrong, God/devil, truth/falsehood. Justifying the impulse to ask questions in such contexts was difficult, because Christian faith was perceived in an authoritarian manner as ‘the truth’. But during my undergraduate study, studying attachment theory gave me an existential foothold. The existing literature on attachment theory, particularly the compassionate writings of John Bowlby, facilitated a complete reconstruction of my understanding of the needs and dynamics of human life, both generally and in relation to myself. These alterations then drew into question many of the theological beliefs shaping my religious outlook. Based on these experiences, I explore both the ways in which attachment theory has been brought into dialogue with religious studies and theology, and how it might enable us to develop an axiological and relational hermeneutic that directs attention to the ethical dimensions of theological belief and praxis, and even to a reconfiguration of absolutist approaches to the nature of truth.

Published: May 2024

Berangkat dari Rancangan Undang-Undang Perampasan Aset yang tak kunjung disahkan menjadi tanda tanya besar apa sebenarnya yang diinginkan oleh Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat. Melihat DPR yang tutup mata akan kondisi korupsi yang semakin parah dengan tidak segera mengesahkan RUU Perampasan Aset menimbulkan pertanyaan apakah DPR sudah lupkan akan tugas pokok dan fungsinya. Jurnal ini kan menguak polemik tidak kunjung disahkannya RUU Perampasan Aset menjadi Undang-Undang. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kalitatif yang mendeskripsikan fenomena proses panjang pembahasan RUU Perampasan Aset. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari buku dan jurnal serta beberapa pernyataan yang dimuat di surat kabar. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa RUU Perampasan aset urgen untuk segera disahkan mengingat indeks korupsi yang semakin parah. Kemudian masalah tidak ditemukan dalam muatan materi RUU Perampasan Aset, melainkan pada anggota DPR yang merasa terancam dengan adanya RUU. Oleh karenanya RUU Tersebut tidak segera disahkan dan menjadikan anggota DPR melupakan tuugas pokok dan fungsi serta sumpah-sumpah mereka.
The professionals’ voice matters

Denmark and other European welfare states face changes in the organization of home care. Based on a cultural-theoretical and discourse-analytical approach, this article of a literature review analyzes the development of interdisciplinary teams in home care in Denmark (2017-2022), where home care has shifted from multidisciplinary, towards interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary. The article focuses on the importance of organization in teams for roles, professionalism, professional identity and collaboration of home care's various professionals.
The cultural-theoretical and discourse-analytical exploration finds there have been profound changes in home care over a short period of time regarding centralization, decentralization, reforms and new ways of organizing home care shared between the state and municipalities. These interdisciplinary teams are seen politically and administratively as a solution to challenges such as more elderly and the shortage of professionals.
Municipalities focus on professionals but not on the development of conditions and frameworks within their own forms of collaboration and organization. In the interdisciplinary teams, some professionals are designated new roles, tasks, and positions, while others relinquish them, and the role of some professionals is not even stated. This development is significant for the professionals' own experiences of their professionalism and professional identity. The new forms of collaboration affect the professionals: social and healthcare- helpers and assistants, nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists differently. 
The literature review shows that the Dutch Buurtzorg- and the Swedish Västervik-models are emphasized. Both focus on citizens and not the expertise of professionals and changes within. The municipalities' inspirations and processes for reorganizing the international models seem inadequately explored.
The article concludes with perspectives on the findings of the exploration, as well as what is lacking in turns of knowledge, and thus calls for further exploration; perspectives of relevance in Denmark and internationally to qualify the future development of the organization in home care

Abstract Terminalia argentea tree, native to Brazil, is widely used in landscaping, recovering degraded areas, its wood, coal production, and the bark or leaf extracts has medicinal use. Despite of its importance, the arthropod fauna associated to this plant and its interspecific relationships still needs further studies. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the arthropods, their ecological indices and the distribution in the leaf faces on T. argentea saplings. The numbers of phytophagous insects (e.g., Cephalocoema sp.), pollinators (e.g., Tetragonisca angustula), and natural enemies (e.g., Oxyopidae), and their ecological indices (e.g., species richness), were higher on the adaxial leaf faces on T. argentea saplings. Aggregated distribution of phytophagous insects (e.g., Aphis spiraecola), pollinators (e.g., Trigona spinipes), and natural enemies (e.g., Camponotus sp.) on T. argentea saplings was observed. Abundance, diversity, and species richness of natural enemies correlated, positively, with those of phytophagous and pollinators insects. Predators and tending ants followed their prey and sucking insects, respectively. Tending ants protected sucking insects against predators, and reduced chewing insects. The high number of Cephalocoema sp. on T. argentea saplings is a problem, because this insect can feed on leaves of this plant, but its preference for the adaxial leaf face favors its control. The aggregation behavior of arthropods on T. argentea saplings favors the control of potential pests of this plant. There seems to be competition between tending ants for space and food resources on T. argentea saplings.

ABSTRACT Cover crops have the potential to improve economic viability while simultaneously mitigating the environmental impacts of agriculture. Pink pepper, known for its ecoplasticity and rapid growth, can be cultivated under various management systems. This study aims to assess the influence of biostimulant application on the mass production, nutrient release, and productivity of pink pepper following cover crops, focusing on carbon sequestration, soil health, and production optimization. The experimental design employed a randomized block in a 4 × 2 × 5 factorial arrangement. Three cover crops (crotalaria, stylosanthes, and millet) were compared with a control-group (spontaneous vegetation), with or without FertBokashi® application. Evaluation occurred at five periods (0, 45, 90, 135, and 180 days post-cutting). Mass production and N, P, and K release were measured for over crops. Pink pepper plants were harvested at 270 days post-transplanting to assess leaf, stem, and fruit mass productivity. The residual mass of pearl millet and spontaneous vegetation showed the highest P and K levels at cutting and 180 days later, indicating significant potential for nutrient cycling by millet and certain spontaneous vegetation species. Pink pepper plants exhibited higher fresh leaf mass (386.46 g per plant) and fruit mass (80.82 g per plant) when cultivated after spontaneous vegetation and with FertBokashi® application. Soil application of FertBokashi® positively influenced pink pepper leaf and fruit production.

ABSTRACT Arrowroot (Maranta arundinaceae) is a unconventional food plant (UFP) that has relevant nutritional properties. However, few studies on the species regarding its forms of propagation and its nutrition have been performed. In parallel, biofertilizer provides nutrients and stimulates the development of species, as it promotes improvements in soil properties. In this context, the objective in this study was to evaluate the effect of different forms of propagation and doses of biofertilizer on arrowroot nutrition. A randomized block experimental design in a split-plot scheme, evaluating three forms of propagation (whole rhizome, part of the rhizome and stem) and five doses of biofertilizer (0, 300, 600, 900 and 1200 mL per plant week-1) was used. At 268 days after planting, the leaves were collected for analysis of leaf macro and micronutrient contents. Plants propagated by stem have lower accumulation of N, P, K and S and higher accumulation of Na, compared to the other forms of propagation. N and K contents were increased by the application of biofertilizer, reaching values of 20.8 and 18.2 g kg-1 at doses of 1200 and 955 mL per plant week-1, respectively. Accumulation of micronutrients was influenced by the forms of propagation and doses of biofertilizer, showing positive responses, especially for Zn at the maximum dose. Propagation by whole rhizome and doses from 600 to 1200 mL per plant week-1 are recommended to obtain the best nutritional results in arrowroot.
RESIGNIFICACIÓN DEL EVALUAR-APRENDER COMO PRÁCTICA DE LIBERTAD

Published: May 2024

Resumen El objetivo del estudio es describir la resignificación de las comprensiones de docentes en formación inicial respecto de la evaluación. Este estudio de caso utilizó una metodología cualitativa de alcance exploratorio-descriptivo. Participaron 29 docentes en formación de una universidad chilena. La recolección de información se llevó a cabo por medio de entrevistas antes y después de la implementación de un proceso formativo sustentado en el enfoque de la evaluación como aprendizaje. Se evidencian cambios en comprensiones y prácticas, en particular, el profesorado en formación toma conciencia del carácter social y continuo de la evaluación. Se concluye que el evaluar-aprender como práctica de libertad emerge de espacios colaborativos y democráticos e implica liberarse del miedo al error y de la necesidad del control externo.
