Topographic heterogeneity triggers multiple complementary cascades to exert cornerstone effects on ecosystem multifunctionality
Authors: Fairchild Tom , Walter Bettina , Mutter Joshua , Griffin John
Published: November 2023

Topographic heterogeneity sets the stage for community assembly, but its
effects on ecosystem functioning remain poorly understood. Here we test
the hypothesis that heterogeneity underpins multiple cascading pathways
that indirectly control multifunctionality. To do so, we combined
experimental manipulation of topographic heterogeneity on rocky shores
with comprehensive assessment of naturally assembled communities and
multifunctionality. Structural equation modelling revealed that
heterogeneity: i) enhanced biodiversity by supporting filter feeder
richness; ii) triggered a facilitation cascade via reef-forming
(polycheate) and biomass-dominant (macroalga) foundation species, which
in turn broadly supported functionally diverse epibiotic and understory
assemblages; and iii) inhibited a key consumer (limpet). These
mechanisms exerted complementary positive effects on individual
functions (e.g., water filtration, ecosystem metabolism, nutrient
uptake) and, in turn, collectively enhanced multifunctionality.
Topographic heterogeneity may therefore serve as a cornerstone physical
attribute by initiating multiple cascades that propagate through
ecological communities via foundation species, ultimately manifesting
disproportionate effects on ecosystem multifunctionality.
Mean reef fish body size decreases in warmer waters

Published: November 2023

Aquatic ectotherms often attain smaller body sizes at higher
temperatures. By analysing ~15,000 coastal-reef fish
surveys across a 15oC spatial sea surface temperature (SST) gradient, we
found that the mean length of fish length in communities decreases by
~5% for each 1oC temperature increase across space.
This equated to a 50% decrease in mean length from 14 to 29oC mean
annual SST. We found that trophic guild composition shifts from
domination by herbivores and planktivores in the tropics, to
invertivores and piscivores in cooler waters. By investigating the
contribution of trophic composition to community-level mean length, we
show ~25% of temperature-related changes could be
attributed to trophic composition at the warmest sites, but
<1% at colder temperatures. Our findings suggest that small
changes in temperature will lead to large changes in fish community body
sizes, driven both by community trophic composition in warm waters and
mean sizes within trophic guilds.

Despite the importance of the quality of institutions to healthcare
delivery, in developing countries, the institutional role of the health
sector remained less effective, affecting the population’s health
status, particularly maternal and child health. This study examines the
effect of institutional quality on maternal and child health in Nigeria.
the main objective of the study is to find out whether or not the
quality of institutions affects the health of the populace, concerning
maternal and child health in Nigeria. using infant mortality, number of
neonatal deaths, maternal mortality rate, and contraceptive prevalence

Published: November 2023

Despite the considerable progress achieved in the field of cancer
immunotherapy over the past few years, a large number of patients fail
to benefit from these therapies due to insufficient alteration of the
immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which facilitates the
evasion of anti-tumor immunotherapy. Metabolic reprogramming is emerging
as an important hallmark of tumorigenesis and has a major effect on
remodeling the tumor immune microenvironment and the response to cancer
immunotherapy. However, only a limited number of studies have summarized
the research trends and hotspots in metabolic reprogramming from the
perspective of tumors and immune cells. Therefore, we aimed to
comprehensively explore current research status and hot topics in
TME-related metabolic reprogramming over a 20-year period using a
bibliometric approach. Studies focusing on metabolic reprogramming and
the TME were searched from the WOSCC database. Bibliometric and visual
analyses of the included articles and reviews were performed using
Bibliometrix (R-Tool in R-Studio), VOSviewer, and CiteSpace. A total of
4726 articles published between 2003 and 2022 were selected. The
quantity of publications and citations exhibited an annual growth.
Cooperation network analysis indicated that the United States holds the
foremost position in the field of metabolic reprogramming and TME
research, having the highest volume of publications and citations, thus
exerting the greatest influence. Among the institutions, Fudan
University displayed the highest level of productivity. Regarding
publications in this field, Frontiers in Immunology emerged as the
journal with the most extensive number of contributions. Ho Ping-Chih
made the most article contributions; Pearce Edward J., was the most
co-cited author. Four clusters were obtained after clustering analysis
of the authors’ keywords with tumor microenvironment and immunotherapy,
metabolic reprogramming and glycolysis, immunometabolism and gut
microbiota, and immune and extracellular vesicles being the main topics.
Immunometabolism, glycolysis, immune cells, and tumor-associated
macrophages are relatively recent burst keywords that have attracted
increasing attention.A comprehensive landscape of advancements in
metabolic reprogramming and the TME was studied, which can provide
crucial information for scholars to further advance this promising
field. Further research should explore new topics related to
immunometabolism in the TME using a transdisciplinary approach.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) can affect eloquent areas,
affecting language. We applied the Translingual Lexical Decision Task
(TLDT), a tongue independent behavioral screening tool to measure
language dominance in drug resistant TLE. Method: Patients with left TLE
(LTLE) (n=26), right TLE (RTLE) (n=28) and Controls (n=30) were
evaluated using TLDT. We performed two repeated measures ANOVAs for
accuracy and response time, with Visual half-field as intra-subject
factor (left visual-field, LVF; right visual-field, RVF), and Group as
inter-subject factor (RTLE, LTLE, Controls). Result: A main effect of
visual half-field was found, showing RVF (left hemisphere) advantage. A
main effect of Group was found in accuracy, and pairwise comparisons
showed that both patient groups performed less accurately compared to
Controls, and LTLE performed significantly lower than RTLE. Also, the
Group by Visual half-field interaction was significant. Post hoc t-tests
indicated the Controls and RTLE performed better in RVF than in LVF
whereas no visual half-field effect was found in LTLE. For response
times, the interaction was also significant. Post hoc t-tests showed a
significant RVF advantage for Controls only, which was present for RTLE
when tested one-tailed. LTLE group did not show an RVF advantage.
Conclusion: Overall, the results demonstrated that TLDT is a
non-invasive method to investigate language lateralization in
drug-resistant TLE patients, and can efficiently distinguish between
LTLE and RTLE. Compared to RTLE and Controls, language lateralization is
diminished in LTLE. The current findings highlight the potential use of
TLDT as an effective presurgical language lateralization screening tool.

Published: November 2023

Based on the high temperature and confining pressure conditions at different
depths, triaxial high temperature mechanical tests were carried out on
Longmaxi shale with horizontal and vertical bedding, respectively. The
results show that shale?s peak strength and deformation capacity increase
with burial depth. The failure mode of shale is a typical brittle failure,
and the brittle index can quantitatively describe the brittle mechanical
behavior of shale. Because shale has an apparent thin bedding structure,
shale with different bedding directions shows pro?nounced anisotropy in
mechanical parameters and deformation characteristics. The burial depth and
bedding direction significantly impact the energy evolution law of Longmaxi
shale during the mechanical process.

Et rammeverk for personlige, historiske beskrivelser av kunnskapsutvikling og profesjonalisering av morsmålsfag i lærerutdanning
Authors: Ongstad Sigmund , Erixon Per-Olof
Published: November 2023

This chapter frames five academic essays concerned with 50 years of didactic professionalisation of Nordic teacher education. It is argued that studies of professions have put more stress on structure and function of reforms than on content and offers a complementary approach. It focuses in particular the role of mother tongue education (L1) in four Nordic countries, both as a school subject, an educational discipline, and a research field. An assumption is that research on mother tongue didactics (Norw. morsmålsdidaktikk) as a field has contributed significantly to increased professionalisation. The book’s five contributors are retired L1 teacher educators and researchers. They have had first-hand experience of a significant knowledge development (Norw. kunnskapsutvikling) that has taken place over decades. They have even taken part in a wide range of research and projects that shaped the L1 field and partly teacher education. Further, the chapter suggests that professionalisation can be broken down into intertwined sub-processes such as academisation, didactisation, theoretisation, and textualisation. These and other key concepts are discussed. While the five personal essays are more empirically oriented, this introduction aims to give a theoretical framework and premises for the book as a whole. All chapters are formed as academic essays and apply an approach inspired by Ivor Goodson’s methodology for writing recollecting life-stories academically backed up by historical contextualisation of described events. This chapter thus presents the epistemology and discusses relevant methodologies.
Methodology for evaluating the risk of injury in reconstruction of road traffic accidents involving pedestrians
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Vasilev Ya. V.
Published: November 2023

At present, in road traffic examinations (RTE) carried out in the Russian Federation, there are no modern comprehensive studies, scientific and practical solutions and methods which would be dedicated to assessing the risk of obtaining injuries of varying severity by road traffic participants. In contrast to injury assessment in the development of passive safety measures, injury indices in practice are not used in RTE, which leads to a lack of categorical conclusions in a number of expert tasks. The purpose of this study is to define a methodological approach to the solution of specialized tasks of road traffic accident examination and expert prevention of road traffic accidents in general related to the assessment of the risk of pedestrian injury in a road traffic accident. The article presents the analysis results of road traffic accident examinations. The methodology for evaluating the risk of pedestrian injuries in primary and secondary injuries (when being hit by the vehicle and when falling on the roadway) is outlined. The ways of this methodology`s further use in the practice of road traffic accident examinations, as well as in the development of measures within the expert prevention of traffic accidents, are shown.

Published: November 2023

The paper presents an analysis of the impact of changes in various factors on the cost per square meter of housing on the primary market. Based on the analysis of prices for apartments in the Nevsky district of St. Petersburg, the authors have constructed a mathematical model confirming that at the time of the study implementation, the main price-forming factors are the distance from the subway stations and the prestige rate of the neighborhood. Meanwhile, such factors as the deadline term for delivery of the building, the builder's brand, construction of the building and interior finishing of the apartment, have a minimal impact on the cost per square meter of housing under construction. The results of the study can be used in the practical activities of construction companies in developing a pricing strategy for the construction of residential real estate facilities.

The Role of Calorie Restriction in Cancer Prevention, Cancer Treatment, Longevity, and in Reducing Cellular Stress
Authors: Naji Hassan S.
Published: November 2023

Cancer is one of the top main illnesses worldwide. The aging of the population and the widespread presence of risk factors including obesity, smoking, and/or bad eating habits are expected to contribute to its further rise. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery continue to be the cornerstones of cancer treatment, despite the gradual replacement or supplementation of these methods by innovative treatments. The American Cancer Society suggests a high-calorie, high-protein diet for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Furthermore, there are no established recommendations for the kind of diet that would significantly reduce cancer rates. However, calorie restriction (CR) and fasting, two common methods of reducing caloric consumption, show a broad variety of positive benefits that may prevent malignancies and boost the effectiveness of cancer treatments. Periodic fasting (PF), fasting-mimicking diets, and restricted food intake without first a decrease in calories have become popular as interventions with the potential to be widely used to prevent and treat cancer, while chronic CR provides both beneficial and detrimental effects and major compliance challenges. In this article, we discuss the impact that calorie restriction has in preventing cancer, aiding in cancer treatment, producing cellular protection and chemotherapy resistance in animal models and early human investigations.

Authors: Redero García Sebastián
Published: November 2023

La caza es una actividad vital en España, tanto desde el punto de vista económico especialmente en zonas rurales-, como ecológico -contribuyendo a incrementar la biodiversidad y la calidad de los hábitats-, así como para controlar poblaciones de especies que ocasionan cuantiosos daños en otros sectores primarios e, incluso, para garantizar la seguridad y salud de las personas.

A pesar de ello, existen corrientes ideológicas contrarias a la caza que luchan a todos los niveles para prohibir esta actividad. Dotadas de una ingente financiación y con una gran capacidad para influir en la opinión pública, están presentes en el panorama político y normativo, especialmente en los ámbitos estatal y europeo, de modo que la actividad cinegética se está viendo sometida a una ofensiva sin precedentes que condiciona su normal desarrollo.
60 años del Tratado de prohibición parcial de los ensayos nucleares
Authors: Moure Pino Ana María , Anich Sfeir Gabriel Emilio
Published: November 2023

El Tratado de prohibición parcial de los ensayos nucleares (TPPEN) se firmó en 1963 como respuesta al impacto ambiental de las pruebas nucleares. La amplia adhesión a este tratado constituyó un paso decisivo en la prohibición de este tipo de armamentos y fue antecesor de otros instrumentos como el Tratado de no proliferación o el Tratado de prohibición de las armas nucleares. El TPPEN fue además relevante en la discusión sobre la emergencia de una prohibición consuetudinaria de los ensayos nucleares y el progresivo abandono de los mismos por parte de los Estados poseedores de armas nucleares. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo explorar el marco en el que se inscribió la creación del TPPEN hace ya 60 años. A través de un análisis detenido de sus disposiciones, se examinarán las repercusiones que este tratado tuvo en la promoción del desarme nuclear y la prohibición de estas armas de destrucción masiva. Asimismo, se prestará una atención especial a su relevancia en el proceso de formación de costumbre internacional relacionadas con la prohibición de armas nucleares.
An Application of Pareto Analysis and Cause-and-Effect Diagram in Raw Hide and Skin Defects Minimization in Ethiopia: Selected Case Dire Dawa City Slaughterhouse (Ethiopia)
Authors: NEGASH Berihun
Published: November 2023

According to the reports of CSA (Central Statistics Agency) 2020 Ethiopia is the 10th in the world and 1st in Africa by cattle production. Furthermore, the leather sector is the priority sector in Ethiopia. Leather industries are facing challenges in improving productivity and quality in the competitive market nowadays. The input materials for leather industries are goat and sheep skin, and cattle hide in Ethiopia. However, there are raw hide and skin defects due to preslaughter, during slaughter and post-slaughter process. This study focuses on the minimization of the major defects in preslaughter and during the slaughter of raw hide and skin process by application of Pareto analysis and fishbone diagram in Ethiopia in the case of Dire Dawa city. The Pareto analysis reveals that priority should be given to solving the problems of pre-slaughter and during-slaughter defects of raw hide and skin. Based on cause-and-effect diagram analysis, the main causes are: machine, material, environment, man, measures and management, root causes, heated metal shape for brand mark, during diseases different action is taken, hit animal using different steel, grass used for food, animals home making material, drinking water, stick, topography, hot area, old area, lack of awareness about hide and skin outputs, traditional methods of water in forage for the animals during farming, traditional methods used for medications for raw hide and defects identified. Finally, a few recommendations are made to reduce raw hide and skin defects.

Published: November 2023

The aim of this paper is to study the applications of enzymes, as ecological alternatives in the leather industry. The research proposes to create ecologic leathers/furs with additional functions (non-toxic, with high-quality of soft, well-degreased surfaces) through the use of original enzyme-based biotechnologies, as new additives for leather/fur processing intended for everyday use. Another application of the enzymes studied in this paper is the development of a novel technology based on enzymes and membrane technique, for purifying wastewaters from the leather industry. We selected and analytically characterized lipases, proteases, and also new enzymes: lysozyme, tryptophan deaminase for use in leather industry. The goal was to obtain leathers/furs for everyday use, with high-performance characteristics, by processing them with enzymes – as new additives that have not been used so far in the leather industry as an alternative to the use of potentially polluting chemical materials. Complex and original technologies of ecological bioprocessing of leather/furs were used. The innovation consists in developing new biotechnologies for leather/fur with enzymatic additives in order to achieve ecologic leathers or fur articles. These biotechnologies provided advanced performances for surface quality: intense and bright colors, soft, well-degreased, and resistant to abrasion and water.

This paper describes the complexity and uncertainty of traditional culture and kindergarten drama and evaluates the impact on the integration by providing a reasonable measure of the degree of fuzziness of the fuzzy numerical analysis algorithm. Using the affiliation function for traditional culture and kindergarten theater for measurement, the fuzzy set affiliation function curve determines the corresponding element of the center of gravity of the theater, and that traditional culture element is used as the exact output value. It was found that the proportion of kindergarten drama education activities in appreciating drama works accounted for 56.75%, and the corresponding standard deviation in feeling traditional culture was the highest at 3.916. The importance of drama education activities with traditional culture as a carrier in the core literacy of young children cannot be ignored.
Optimization of furniture combination design and space configuration based on graph theory
Authors: Xie Yahui
Published: November 2023

This paper is based on graph theory, combined with a particle swarm optimization algorithm to find the optimal solution in the whole particle swarm through continuous iteration and obtain the sum of squares of each variable in the particle cognitive domain. Searching for the global optimal position calculates the inertia weights in the particle swarm algorithm and changes the velocity and position of the particles based on the motion properties of graph theory to improve the global search ability. The domain competition operator is executed after particle swarm initialization, and a hybrid crossover strategy is used to select a crossover point, which improves the algorithm’s performance by exchanging information with the global optimum. Based on graph theory, the spatial configuration optimization of furniture combinations is scored, in which the average score of furniture space ranges from 3.3 to 6.2, and the average score of spatial configuration optimization ranges from 4.5 to 8. Therefore, based on graph theory, the reasonable furniture form for spatial layout optimization can fully reflect the practical function of the space, comfort, and the creation of a spatial atmosphere.
