Evaluation of the role of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) green manure in crop rotations
Authors: Pál Vivien , Zsombik László
Published: May 2022

Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is an annual legume, grown as green manure provide rapid soil cover, can increase soil moisture and organic matter content and reduce soil erosion during fall. During the fallow period, legumes grown as catch crops are known by releasing large amounts of mineral nitrogen (N) for the subsequent crop. By taking advantage of these benefits, it is possible to increase the yield of the next crop in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way. The goal of this study was to determine the value of common vetch as a green manure, considering its effect on soil conditions and the yield of next crops. We examined three different common vetch seed rate as a green manure in a crop rotation with triticale, oat and corn. Next to the green manured treatments, we used fertilized and bare fallow control treatment for comparison. In our study we evaluated the aboveground biomass weight of spring vetch green manure and its effect on the moisture content of the soil. We examined the green manure’s effect on the next crops plant height and yield. We found that the moisture content of the green manured plots was significantly higher during summer drought. On the green manured plots, 37.9% higher triticale yield, 50% higher oat yield and 44% higher corn yield were measured compared to the control plots. The insertion of spring vetch green manuring into crop rotations could be a good alternative to sustainable nutrient replenishment methods. It can be used to reduce the input needs of farming, reduce carbon footprint, contribute to the protection of soils and increase the organic matter content of the soil.

Authors: Massimi Mohunnad , Radocz Laszlo
Published: May 2022

Salinity stress is one of the environmental factors that negatively affect the growth and production of pepper plants. The 100 seeds' weight was measured. The total fresh weight of five seedlings and the growth rate of one seedling of three paprika varieties were also measured under the influence of NaCl at a salinity level threshold of (3 dS m‑1). The proportion of tissue water content in three pepper cultivars was measured according to a mathematical formula at the end of the experiment. In terms of seed weight, the (Carma) cultivar outperformed other types greatly. Except for the superiority of both (Carma, and Bobita F1) over (Fokusz) variety in total fresh seedlings weight under sodium chloride as abiotic stress, there are no significant differences in the total seedlings' dry weight and the rate of seedling growth. The non-drought-resistant type (Bobita F1) loses water the fastest, at 89.61%, compared to drought-tolerant kinds, which lose water at a slower rate (Carma, and Fokusz). The results demonstrate the (Carma) variety's numerical vigor, particularly in the growth rate. More testing is needed to determine the selection of varieties that are resistant to abiotic and biotic stresses.

Published: May 2022

Microgreens are becoming more popular in gastronomy, especially as a salad ingredient. In this study, two plant species belonging to the cabbage family were grown as microgreens, namely red cabbage and broccoli. Three different light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were used in the experiment, blue, red, and combined (blue:red) lighting. The experiment was carried out by 118 µmol-2 s-1total Photosynthetic Photon Flux (PPF), LED lighting was applied for 16 hours a day. Blue light primarily stimulates leaf growth, while red light promotes flowering. In our experiment, blue and combined lighting favorably affected plant development, yield (~3000 g m-2), chlorophyll-a (~8.0 mg g-1), and carotenoid content (9.0 mg g-1). However, the red light resulted in reduced harvest yields (~2200 g m-2), chlorophyll-a (~6.0 mg g-1), and carotenoid content (~7.0 mg g-1). The development of red cabbage was favorably influenced by the blue spectrum, while the combined spectrum favorably influenced the development of broccoli.
Does the feeding frequency influence the growth performance of European perch juveniles (Perca fluviatilis) during intensive rearing?
Authors: Molnár Áron , Dajka Bence , Fehér Milán
Published: May 2022

The European perch (Perca fluviatilis) is a predatory fish species. Its aquaculture production is increasing worldwide. Feeding and the frequency of feeding are important elements of intensive fish rearing. The aim of our experiment was to examine the optimal distribution of the amount of feed, at the same feed rations. The experiment lasted 42 days. Three treatments were applied in 4–4 replications. The first treatment was feeding twice per day (T2), the second treatment was feeding three times a day (T3), and the third group was fed four times a day (T4). 10 European perch juveniles were stocked per tank, with an individual mean body weight of 3.93 ± 0.06 g at the start of the experiment. The survival rate (S%) was above 90% for all treatments. The T2 treatments produced the most favourable harvest weight (13.96 ± 0.14 g) and specific growth rate (SGR = 3.08 ± 0.01% day-1), but no significant differences were observed between groups. In terms of feed conversion ratio, the best result was obtained by (T3) (FCR =1.06 ± 0.18 g g-1), but no significant difference was found for this indicator neither. The results of the trial indicate that the feeding frequency does not influence the production parameters.

The time delay of photoelectron emission serves as a fundamental building block to understand the ultrafast electron emission dynamics in strong-field physics. Here, we study the photoelectron angular streaking of CO molecules by using two-color (

 nm) corotating circularly polarized fields. By coincidently measuring photoelectrons with the dissociative ions, we present molecular frame photoelectron angular distributions with respect to the instantaneous driving electric field signatures. We develop a semiclassical nonadiabatic molecular quantum-trajectory Monte Carlo (MO-QTMC) model that fully captures the experimental observations and further ab initio simulations. We disentangle the orientation-resolved contribution of the anisotropic ionic potential and the molecular orbital structure on the measured photoelectron angular distributions. Furthermore, by analyzing the photoelectron interference patterns, we extract the sub-Coulomb-barrier phase distribution of the photoelectron wavepacket and reconstruct the orientation- and energy-resolved Wigner time delay in the molecular frame. Holographic angular streaking with bicircular fields can be used for probing polyatomic molecules in the future.

Blended Learning Experiences of LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent Students: A mixed-methods study
Authors: Jarvis Niamh , Nordmann Emily
Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally altered teaching and learning practices in higher education, with academic, social, and psychological consequences for students. The pivot to online and blended-learning models across has the potential to impact belongingness and social adjustment in students across identity groups – including students who identify as LGBTQ+, who have previously been shown to have lower perceptions of belongingness and social adjustment in the university context (Sotardi et al., 2021). This partial replication applied a mixed-methods, intersectional lens to investigate student belonging amongst LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent students.We found that belonging and social adjustment were predictors of academic self-efficacy for all students, but particularly LGBTQ+ students, during blended learning. Neurodivergent students demonstrated significantly lower wellbeing and academic self-efficacy than their neurotypical peers. All students we surveyed acknowledged that blended learning was associated with both benefits and challenges in the academic social spheres. These included increased flexibility and accessibility, but also difficulties with engagement, motivation, and socialising. However, the discourse among LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent students differed in that it explicitly referenced negative impacts to mental wellbeing, as well as the distortion of the university experience and student identity. They also referred to the importance of identity-based peer relationships in supporting their wellbeing.Our results suggest that future research should focus on the intersection of LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent students, as well as how universities can implement a hybrid model that offers the benefits of a blended-learning model without detracting from student engagement, motivation, and social opportunities for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent students.

In people worldwide, chronic periodontitis occurs in 10-15% of cases. Prolonged inflammation of periodontal tissues contributes to the formation of oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase (as indicators of oxidative stress) in periodontitis in rats. For this, in the main group of rats (n=10) a model of ligature periodontitis was created. The control group of rats (n=10) was intact. As a result, in periodontitis, the level of malondialdehyde doubled. We also found an inverse relationship between the level of lipid damage and superoxide dismutase activity. Conclusions. The level of metabolites of redox processes is significantly increased in periodontitis. This confirms a significant increase in the indicators of malondialdehyde. A decrease in superoxide dismutase activity leads to a low antioxidant status in rats.

Published: May 2022

The itinerant 4d ferromagnetic perovskite SrRuO3 [bulk Curie temperature (T
C) = 165 K] has been studied extensively for many decades because of the unique nature of its ferromagnetism, metallicity, chemical stability, and compatibility with other perovskite-structured oxides. Recently, SrRuO3 has been gathering renewed interest as a magnetic Weyl semimetal and a two-dimensional ferromagnetic system. Ultra-high-quality SrRuO3 film growth techniques, combining oxide molecular beam epitaxy technology and a statistical machine learning method, have revealed new physics and physical properties of SrRuO3 as a magnetic Weyl semimetal, such as quantum transport of Weyl fermions and high-mobility two-dimensional carriers from surface Fermi arcs. This review summarizes the methods of growing ultra-high-quality SrRuO3 films and the novel physics found in them. In addition, progress in crystal structure analyses and the electrical and magnetic properties of SrRuO3 over the last decade will also be discussed.
Effects of Cl passivation on Al2O3/GaN interface properties

Published: May 2022

We investigated the effects of a HCl-based cleaning (SC2) and post-deposition annealing (PDA) on an Al2O3/GaN interface and electrical properties. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the existence of the Cl atoms near the interface after the Al2O3 deposition and subsequent PDA, resulting in a band bending at the GaN surface. A C–V curve of a MOS capacitor with the Al2O3/GaN interface with SC2 was shifted toward the positive bias direction compared with that without SC2. It was found that PDA induced negative shifts of the C–V curves, and that the SC2 treatment increases interface trap density at the Al2O3/GaN interface. These results indicate that the Cl termination of the GaN surface has clear impacts on the interface and electrical properties.

Star Topology Convolution for Graph Representation Learning
Authors: Wu Chong , Feng Zhenan , Zheng Jiangbin , Zhang Houwang , Cao Jiawang , YAN Hong
Published: May 2022

We present a novel graph convolutional method called star topology convolution (STC). This method makes graph convolution more similar to conventional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in Euclidean feature spaces. STC learns subgraphs which have a star topology rather than learning a fixed graph like most spectral methods. Due to the properties of a star topology, STC is graph-scale free (without a fixed graph size constraint). It has fewer parameters in its convolutional filter and is inductive, so it is more flexible and can be applied to large and evolving graphs. The convolutional filter is learnable and localized, similar to CNNs in Euclidean feature spaces, and can share weights across graphs. To test the method, STC was compared with state-of-the-art graph convolutional methods in a supervised learning setting on nine node properties prediction benchmark datasets: Cora, Citeseer, Pubmed, PPI, Arxiv, MAG, ACM, DBLP, and IMDB. The experimental results showed that STC achieved state-of-the-art performance on all these datasets and maintained good robustness. In an essential protein identification task, STC outperformed state-of-the-art essential protein identification methods. An application of using pretrained STC as the embedding for feature extraction of some downstream classification tasks was introduced. The experimental results showed that STC can share weights across different graphs and be used as the embedding to improve the performance of downstream tasks.
Leveraging Secondary Reflections and Mitigating Interference in Multi-IRS/RIS Aided Wireless Network
Authors: Nguyen Tu , Nguyen Diep , Renzo Marco Di , Zhang Rui
Published: May 2022

Reconfigurable surfaces (RS) have recently emerged as an enabler for smart radio environments where they are used to actively tailor/control the radio propagation (e.g., to support users under adverse channel conditions). If multiple RSs are deployed (e.g., coated on various buildings) to support different groups of users, it is critical to jointly optimize the phase-shifts of all RSs to mitigate their interference as well as to leverage the secondary reflections amongst them. Motivated by the above, this paper considers the uplink transmissions of multiple users that are grouped and supported by multiple RSs to communicate with a multi-antenna base station (BS). We first formulate two optimization problems: the weighted sum-rate maximization and the minimum achievable rate (from all users) maximization. Unlike existing works that considered single user or single RS or multiple RSs without inter-RS reflections, the considered problems require one to optimize the phase-shifts of all RSs' elements and all beamformers at the multi-antenna BS. The two problems turn out to be non-convex and thus are difficult to be solved in general. Moreover, the inter-RS reflections give rise to the coupling of the phase-shifts amongst RSs, making the optimization problems even more challenging to solve. To tackle them, we design alternating optimization algorithms that provably converge to locally optimal solutions. Simulation results reveal that by properly managing interference and leveraging the secondary reflections amongst RSs, there is a great benefit of deploying more RSs to support different groups of users and so as to achieve a higher rate per user. This gain is even more significant with a larger number of elements per RS. In contrast, without properly managing the secondary reflections, increasing the number of RSs can adversely impact the network throughput, especially for higher transmit power.

Similarity and Difference Between Landscape Character and Townscape
Authors: Teremy Viktória Nóra
Published: May 2022

The phrases 'townscape' and 'landscape character' are not used very often in common language, although we meet the meaning of these notions day after day. In scientific language, the definitions of settlement and landscape sometimes merge into each other, while at other times are totally different. What do we mean by townscape and what by landscape character? Is it possible to separate the two? The answer is constantly changing during history, according to the spirit of the age and the field of science. Despite the differences and formation, the various approaches converge in many aspects: we always mean a continuously changing, dynamic, spatial, physically distinct visual, and also a geographical spatial unit, which surrounds us. The definition of this, and a deliberate and controlled development are becoming more and more important in landscape and urban planning. At the end of 2016, a new genre, the so called Townscape Design Guide was introduced by law on local planning. In 2016, the national landscape character project had also begun. The phrases in the title refer to these new, national professional ’genres’. The aim of the study is to get to know these two, parallel processes, to reveal their connections by interpreting the Hungarian legal system, and the international background that influences it.

Published: May 2022

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of several herbal plants, Moringa, Usira and commercially sold African Bitters on selected micro-organisms. Adequate amount of fresh plants of Moringa leaves and Usira leaves were collected from a farm in Ekpoma Also, the commercial African bitters were purchased from herbal market in Ekpoma town, Edo State. The extract was prepared by weighing out 2g of the milled powdered powdered leaf of Moringa and Usira and adding 14ml of distilled deionized water and 10ml of 70% ethanol. The agar diffusion method and ditch method were employed for the sensitivity of the extracts on the bacterial isolates. The results on agar diffusion method showed that all the organisms isolated were resistant to moringa neat and distilled water extracts but were sensitive to ethanolic extract of moringa. Also, all the organisms were also resistant to usira neat and distilled water extract. However, Candida albicans was sensitive to ethanolic extract of usira. Furthermore, none of the organisms were sensitive to African biters in all the dilutions. The results on the ditch method showed that E. coli, Candida albicans, strep were sensitive while Pseudomonas species and Klebsiella species were not sensitive. It can be concluded that the extracts of Moringa and Usira (ethanol extract) inhibited the growth of bacteria isolates in a dose dependent fashion. Hence, it can be concluded that the leaf of Moringa and Usira can be a very good source for herbal drugs especially in using ethanol as a solvents.
Do the Unexpected Price Change and News Affect Price Volatility in Palestine?
Authors: Shubaita Elham , Mar'i Muhammad
Published: May 2022

Inflation is an essential issue in the economy. Many countries try to target inflation to reduce the erosion of savings for citizens, so many researchers have focused on this topic. The current study attempts to determine whether the news or an unexpected change in the consumer prices index basket affects the volatility of the prices asymmetrically. The result shows that four of twelve sectors are not affected by the news, either because they have a constant variance or because of the not significance of EGARCH. The rest sectors show different responses to high price news and low-price news either by magnitude or signs. Generally, we can notice that high prices with significant negative shocks have a more massive effect on future fluctuation. The shocks that affect its future fluctuation are positive and negative for low prices.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common infectious disease worldwide. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is one of the most challenging global health problems. Regional surveillance programs are necessary to update knowledge on antimicrobial resistance patterns for empirical antibiotic treatment of the patients. This study aimed to explore the bacteriology and antibiotic resistance pattern of urological pathogens in diabetic patients compared to that in non-diabetics. Materials and Methods: A prospective study during the period from June 2021 to November 2021 in Khulna City Medical College Hospital was carried out including 347 diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Midstream clean-catch urine samples were collected from suspected UTI patients of age more than 14 years and inoculated in Mac Conkey & Blood agar media for semi-quantitative urine culture and sensitivity test. Antibiotic susceptibility test was done by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method following clinical laboratory science (CLS) program. Results: Among the 347 inoculated samples, Culture positive were in 286 cases. Gram-negative E. coli was isolated from 119 (overall 41.6%, 51% in diabetics and 36.5% in non-diabetic patients) samples which were the most predominant bacteria, followed by Enterococcus, Pseudomonas and Klebsiella. UTI with E. coli was significantly at a higher rate in diabetic patients and Exhibits 100% resistance to Ceftriaxone, Nalidixic acid, Cefuroxime and Cefixime. Bacteria offered a high degree of resistance against commonly used antibiotics-Amoxycillin, Ciprofloxacin, Amikacin, Gentamycin, Levofloxacin, Nalidixic acid and Nitrofurantoin ranging from 7% to 93%. Conclusion: E. coli infection is significantly predominant in UTI cases in this study and exhibits a higher rate of resistance to all antibiotics in diabetic patients than that in non-diabetics. None of the antibiotics is 100% sensitive in diabetic patients. Imipenem, meropenem and Piperacillin remain .......

La morbidité et la mortalité des patients restent élevées malgré l’amélioration de la prise en charge des syndromes coronariens aigus. Le monitorage hémodynamique a des objectifs multiples, il caractérise et évalue la sévérité de l’atteinte cardiaque, identifie la présence ou non d’une dysfonction vasculaire associée, identifie et suit l’évolution de la perfusion des organes et des tissus périphériques et enfin guide la prescription des différents traitements (inotropes, vasopresseurs, assistance circulatoire). L’électrocardiogramme, la mesure de la pression artérielle invasive, la surveillance de la lactatémie, de la saturation veineuse en oxygène, des fonctions rénale et hépatique ou encore l’échocardiographie sont des outils considérés comme de routine. Le cathéter artériel pulmonaire et la thermodilution transpulmonaire sont des outils de monitorage avancés pour les chocs réfractaires. Il n’existe bien évidemment aucun outil parfait pour l’ensemble des paramètres hémodynamiques. Cette mise au point a pour objectif de présenter l’ensemble des outils de monitorage recommandés par les différentes sociétés savantes.

Decision support system is an interactive system that helps decision making through the use of data and decision models to solve problems that are semi-structured and unstructured. This study implements the Naive Bayes method because this method has advantages compared to other methods, and the Naive Bayes method is a decision-making to predict probability-based using the values entered, in the form of criteria needed. Bone Tumor is a primary malignancy in children and adolescents, which attacks in adolescents aged 10 to 20 years. Treatment of osteosarcoma can be done by radical amputation or limb salvage procedure, depending on the severity of the tumor. The purpose of this study was to obtain treatment information selected by bone tumor patients using medical record data with sample collection method. In the hope that this information can be a consideration for bone tumor patients who are still hesitant to complete treatment in order to be eager to complete treatment. The results obtained the number of cases of bone tumors is as many as 19 cases, and Limb Salvage is the most widely chosen treatment by bone tumor patients. This study also used rapidminer to see the results of validation. The classification results obtained are accuracy value 80%.

Authors: Aroon Sharma  , Satakshi Gupta  , Neha Kumari Pandey
Published: May 2022

The government of India in the year 1999 established a sanitation program "Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan" (NBA), also known as the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) to create awareness among the rural population regarding the importance of sanitation. In contemporary status, the scheme Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) has been Disestablished and renovated with the new scheme "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan" under the Clean India Mission on 2nd October 2014 to make India open defecation free by 2019. The objectives of the study are first to study the implementation of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in the rural & urban poor HHs. Secondly, to compare the implementation of the scheme between rural & urban poor HHs. Finally, to evaluate critically the implementation of the scheme. The hypothesis of the present study is that there is no significant difference in the implementation of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan between the rural & urban poor HHs. The hypothesis has been tested using an independent sample t-test and the result shows that there has been a significant difference in the implementation of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan between the rural & urban poor HHs, which has been revealed by the data that the beneficiaries of the scheme in the rural area are just 28 percent, while 90 percent in the urban area. This shows a clear picture of the difference in the implementation of the scheme between the rural & urban HHs.

O Livro “Educação: Teorias, Métodos e Perspectivas” é composto de trabalhos que possibilitam uma visão de fenômenos educacionais que abarcam questões relacionadas às teorias, aos métodos, às práticas, à formação docente e de profissionais de diversas áreas do conhecimento, bem como, perspectivas que possibilitam ao leitor um elevado nível de análise. Sabemos que as teorias e os métodos que fundamentam o processo educativo não são neutros. A educação, enquanto ação política, tem um corpo de conhecimentos e, o processo formativo dependerá da posição assumida, podendo ser includente ou excludente. Nesse sentido, o atual contexto – econômico, social, político – aponta para a necessidade de pensarmos cada vez mais sobre a educação a partir de perspectivas teóricas e metodológicas que apontem para caminhos com dimensões e proposições alternativas e includentes. O Volume V possui 23 trabalhos luso-hispânicos que proporcionam reflexões acerca de teorias, formação e perspectivas educacionais em diversas áreas do conhecimento. São apresentadas reflexões e análises acerca da formação – inicial e continuada – para a construção de sujeitos sociais, participativos e críticos no contexto e na conjuntura em que vivemos. Desta forma, destaca-se os processos de ensino-aprendizagem ativos e permanentes que possibilitam a melhoria da formação de profissionais para que sejam capazes em atender as demandas de uma sociedade complexa. A educação, entendida como um processo amplo que envolve várias dimensões, precisa ser (re)pensada, (re)analisada, (re)dimensionada, (re) direcionada e contextualizada.
SOSIALISASI PERAN PEREMPUAN DALAM PENCEGAHAN STUNTING PADA ANGGOTA GOW (GERAKAN ORGANISASI WANITA) SE KABUPATEN KENDAL

Published: May 2022

The problem of malnutrition in pregnant women can cause low birth weight babies (LBW) and malnutrition in toddlers, including stunting (Kemenkes RI, 2018). Stunting can occur as a result of malnutrition, especiallly at 1000 HPK. Fulfillment of nutrition and health services for pregnant women needs attention to prevent stunting.
Tackling stunting is a shared responsibility, not only the government but also every Indonesian family, because stunting in the long term has a bad impact not onlyon children’s growth and development but also on emotional development which result in economic losses. Woman as family members as wellas other family members have duties and functions to support family life. In line with the increasing number of areas of life in society and the increasingly heavy burden of the family’s economy, the role of women in society and the family becomes very important, including in child care at home.
The activity was attended by 30 members of the Women’s Organizational Movement at the KPRI Hikmah Building, Ministry Of Religion, Kendal Regency, with a very good response shown by the presence of several questions in the discussion.
From this frame of mind, we from the STIKES Muhammadiyah Kendal community service team approached members of the women’s organization movement in order to provide education and knowledge of child care patterns as an effort to prevent stunting in Kendal Regency.

Introduction : The aging process can also be interpreted as a process of slowly disappearing the ability of the tissue to repair itself or replace and maintain its normal function so that it cannot survive infection and repair the damage suffered. Normal changes due to aging are most clearly seen in the musculoskeletal system in the form of muscle decline, physical mobility barriers caused by pathological changes in the musculoskeletal system in the form of decreased muscle strength and agility, contractures that limit joint mobility, stiffness and pain in joints. ROM exercises are given to maintain muscle tone and function, prevent joint disability and help improve motor function. Methods: this community service activity includes 3 stages, namely preparation, implementation and evaluation. The activities provided are in the form of counseling and ROM training. Results: This service activity was able to increase participants' knowledge and ability to demonstrate ROM exercises.
Measuring the Properties of Active Galactic Nuclei Disks with Gravitational Waves

Published: May 2022

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are promising environments for the assembly of merging binary black hole (BBH) systems. Interest in AGNs as nurseries for merging BBHs is rising, following the detection of gravitational waves from a BBH system from the purported pair-instability mass gap, most notably GW190521. AGNs have also been invoked to explain the formation of the high-mass-ratio system GW190814. We draw on simulations of BBH systems in AGNs to propose a phenomenological model for the distribution of black hole spins of merging binaries in AGN disks. The model incorporates distinct features that make the AGN channel potentially distinguishable from other channels, such as assembly in the field and in globular clusters. The model parameters can be mapped heuristically to the age and density of the AGN disks. We estimate the extent to which different populations of mergers in AGNs can be distinguished. If the majority of merging black holes are assembled in AGNs, future gravitational-wave observations may provide insights into the dynamics of AGN disks.

The subgenus Laurentomantis in the genusGephyromantiscontains some of the least known amphibian species of Madagascar. The six currently valid nominal species are rainforest frogs known from few individuals, hampering a full understanding of the species diversity of the clade. We assembled data on specimens collected during field surveys over the past 30 years and integrated analysis of mitochondrial and nuclear-encoded genes of 88 individuals, a comprehensive bioacoustic analysis, and morphological comparisons to delimit a minimum of nine species-level lineages in the subgenus. To clarify the identity of the speciesGephyromantis malagasius, we applied a target-enrichment approach to a sample of the 110 year-old holotype ofMicrophryne malagasiaMethuen and Hewitt, 1913 to assign this specimen to a lineage based on a mitochondrial DNA barcode. The holotype clustered unambiguously with specimens previously namedG. ventrimaculatus. Consequently we propose to considerTrachymantis malagasia ventrimaculatusAngel, 1935 as a junior synonym ofGephyromantis malagasius. Due to this redefinition ofG. malagasius, no scientific name is available for any of the four deep lineages of frogs previously subsumed under this name, all characterized by red color ventrally on the hindlimbs. These are here formally named asGephyromantis fiharimpesp. nov.,G. matsilosp. nov.,G. oelkrugisp. nov., andG. portonaesp. nov.The new species are distinguishable from each other by genetic divergences of >4% uncorrected pairwise distance in a fragment of the 16S rRNA marker and a combination of morphological and bioacoustic characters.Gephyromantis fiharimpeandG. matsilooccur, respectively, at mid-elevations and lower elevations along a wide stretch of Madagascar’s eastern rainforest band, whileG. oelkrugiandG. portonaeappear to be more range-restricted in parts of Madagascar’s North East and Northern Central East regions. Open taxonomic questions surroundG. horridus, to which we here assign specimens from Montagne d’Ambre and the type locality Nosy Be; andG. ranjomavo, which contains genetically divergent populations from Marojejy, Tsaratanana, and Ampotsidy.
