Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future
Authors: Kelleher Saoirse , Guillera-Arroita Gurutzeta , Elith Jane , Briscoe Natalie
Published: October 2024

Understanding patterns of species occupancy across landscapes and throughout time is a long-standing objective of ecological research that has inspired the development of numerous quantitative modelling approaches. However, estimating occupancy can be a challenge, particularly when contending with issues like imperfect detection and shifting distributions. Dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) offer a framework for occupancy estimation that explicitly accounts for observation error while capturing the mechanisms driving occupancy dynamics by estimating colonisation and local extinction processes. In light of increasing interest in more process-explicit models for understanding species occurrence, here we examine how DOMs have been applied to field ecological data in the two decades since their introduction. Following a general introduction to the model, we present the results of a systematic review exploring where and how DOMs have been applied. We interrogate how authors have built their models, with particular emphasis on how covariates are incorporated to describe variation in occupancy dynamics. Our findings indicate that DOMs are a flexible tool readily applied to diverse study systems and data types, with their usage expanding in recent years as more studies apply them to make spatial and temporal predictions of species occupancy. DOMs are also amenable to extension, further broadening their utility. However, model complexity in DOMs tends to be low; most studies consider relatively few covariates and these are typically represented as simple linear relationships. Approaches to covariate selection also vary considerably, and there remains little research 1on how these choices may influence model performance. Furthermore, only a fraction of articles report evaluating DOMs and little guidance exists on how to approach this task. These uncertainties in the modelling process should be key priorities for future research on DOMs given their increasing use in applied ecological research.

Balancing forest conservation and agricultural production is essential for a sustainable future. Here we review the scientific evidence for the relationships between forests and agricultural productivity across different scales, summarizing the contexts under which trees limit, maintain, or enhance agricultural productivity. While synergies and trade-offs occur at local scales, a regional-scale meta-analysis reveals mostly positive effects of forests and average national-level agricultural productivity is projected to decline once forest cover loss exceeds ~48%, with a 95% confidence interval [44, 50]. Given that 70% of countries have already reached or exceeded this threshold, implementing targeted forest conservation and restoration policies may be critical to optimize national food security. At a global scale, mass deforestation remains a key threat to international food production.
Widespread loss of important ecosystem services from rapidly urbanising Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Sharma Roshan , Rimal Bhagawat , Ghimire Bikash
Published: October 2024

Ecosystem services are crucial for human well-being as it offers benefits such as food production, water purification, and climate regulation. However, land use change caused by rapid urban expansion poses a significant threat to these services. We investigate the impact of urbanization on ecosystem services in the Kathmandu Valley, a region experiencing intense urban growth. We assessed changes in urban areas and their effects on four key ecosystem services: air quality regulation, carbon storage, food production, and habitat quality. We utilise historical and projected land use data from 2008 to 2032, and different socio-economic and geographical data. The future land use projection shows an increase in urban areas, from 97 km2 in 2008 to 231 km2 by 2032, a growth by 140% within a 24-year period. Majority of this conversion comes from cropland. This urban expansion results in a significant decline in ESs, particularly in food production and habitat quality. We project that by 2032, food production will decrease by 19%, habitat quality by 16%, air quality regulation by 5%, and carbon storage by 3%. Our analysis shows there is an urgent need for sustainable urban planning to balance development with the conservation of important ESs.

Gaussian Denoising for the First Image from The James Webb Space Telescope “Carina Nebula” using Non-Linear Filters
Authors: Abdul Wadood * Mohammed , Ghalib Jaber Asmaa
Published: October 2024

Noise, including Gaussian noise, distorts images during transition or acquisition process, reducing required information. Removing or reducing this noise is crucial in image processing. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a vital tool for enhancing our understanding of the universe, providing valuable scientific data and inspiring global interest. In this paper we introduce several nonlinear (Non-Local Mean, Bilateral, and classical) filters to remove the Gaussian noise from the Carina Nebula Image, the first image taken by (JWST) on 12 July 2022. These nonlinear filters were therefore selected to highlight the significance of selecting the right technique that can handle, process, and preserve as many details as possible. They also serve to elucidate the degree of advancement achieved in the field of denoising and the distinction between the classical filters and the more sophisticated filters that have evolved to handle finer details. Classic filters deal with the pixels themselves and their neighbors and then perform the desired statistical process. While advanced filters consider the similarities and distances between the central pixel and its neighbors, they preserve the edges of the image as advanced features. Based on quality measurements (PSNR) and (SSIM), the filter results were compared. The results show that the Bilateral filter gives high performance in restoring images under different Gaussian noise densities compared with the other denoising filters where it gives values of (30.65) and (0.93) for (PSNR) and (SSIM) respectively Which is higher than the results of the filters.

Authors: Tareq Abdul Majeed Ali , A. Mohammed ALmohana Firas
Published: October 2024

Strategic planning for a specific phenomenon depends mainly on accurate prediction by developing a model to represent that phenomenon. Therefore, this research dealt with spatiotemporal series models such as the STARIMA model (pλ, d, qm) model when there is a spatial correlation for neighbouring sites and a spatial correlation for the same geographical location. The methods for estimating the parameters are the Conditional Maximum Likelihood method and the method of estimating the parameters using the genetic algorithm (MLEGA). These models were compared using the statistical comparison metrics (RMSE). The data represents the daily infections with the COVID-19 epidemic for (10) sectors on the Rusafa side of the city of Baghdad from 29/2/2020 until 25/4/2023; it was found that spatiotemporal series data consider the analysis of spatial relationships between geographic points, which allows for a better understanding of the development of phenomena across time and space. The applied results reached the superiority of the spatiotemporal model STARIMA (11,1,31) with the presence of spatial correlation of neighbouring sites using the genetic algorithm because it has a lower (RMSE), so it was used to predict the daily infections of the Covid-19 epidemic for (10) sectors on the Rusafa side of the city of Baghdad For the period from 26/2/2020 until 5/5/2023.

Authors: Mohammed Salih* Zozan , Abdulrahman Aldosakee Rijwan J. , Ismael Haso Sarkar
Published: October 2024

The research aims to show the impact of structural imbalances in the main sectors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by testing the relationship in the short and long term between the variables of the structure of the main sectors of industry, agriculture, and mining, in addition to the price of oil as independent variables, and between the public budget expressed by 1990-2021. The results have resulted in a long-term relationship between the main sectors and the oil price and between the deficit and the surplus of the general budget with a negative correction factor of (-0.77) in order to return to the equilibrium situation in the short term and the long term, and the research reached a set of conclusions that the changing price of oil was not significant; in other words, it did not have a clear impact on the general budget. As for the agriculture sector, it has had a significant negative impact on the public budget in Saudi Arabia in the long term. The influence of both the mining sector and the industrial sector had a positive impact on the balance sheet. The research suggests that the government of the Kingdom should continue to implement the structural reforms adopted during the Kingdom's vision 2030 in diversifying the economic and production base and reducing dependence on oil revenues, which will positively reflect on its financial sustainability and raise the rates of non-oil gross domestic product.

Authors: Wu Nan , Jiang Long , Yu Kexin , Ning Xilin , Liu Ming , Yuan Minghao
Published: October 2024

In this experiment, the soybean genome "Jilin 30" was used as a template to clone the target gene CHR3 using specific primers. The sense fragment, antisense fragment, and intron of the target gene were ligated into pCAMBIA3300 through double enzyme digestion to form a stem loop structure. We then transferred the constructed RNAi vector pCAMBIA3301-CHR3 RNAi into the recipient soybean genome via Agrobacterium mediated method, specifically reducing the expression of the target gene CHR3. By genetic transformation, positive plants were obtained, and molecular biology methods such as Southern blotting, real-time quantitative PCR, isoliquiritigenin analysis, and identification of resistance to Phytophthora root rot were used to detect the expression level of the CHR3 gene in the positive plants and study its function.The RNAi expression vector pCAMBIA3300-CHR3-RNAi was successfully constructed using the sense and antisense fragments of 428 bp CHR3 gene and an intron of 110 bp was inserted to form the stem-loop structure of the RNAi vector. PCR was used to detect 6 lines of the T1 generation and 15 lines of the T2 generation. The results of Southern analysis confirmed the integration of  CHR3 and marker genes  into the soybean genome. The expression CHR3 gene in the T1 genotypes decreased by 13.1 to 58.3%; the expression in the root decreased by 0.9 to 47.4%; the expression in the leaf decreased by 20 to 44.2%; and the expression in the stem decreased by 7.6 to 23%. The content of isoliquiritigenin decreased by 26.7% as transgenic shoots had a lower content of isoliquiritigenin and reduced resistance to Phytophthora sojae.

Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury in Asphyxiated Neonates and Its Relationship with Severity of Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy: Experience from a Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh.
Authors: Das Ashith Chandra , Azad Md Tarek , Dev Archana , Dey Taposi , Rahman Zainab
Published: October 2024

Background: Perinatal asphyxia (PNA) is one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in Bangladesh. Among others, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and acute kidney injury are two common complications of perinatal asphyxia. Morbidity and mortality increases when PNA is associated with these two complications.
Objective: The objectives of the study were to determine the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) among asphyxiated neonates associated with various stages of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and to find out the relationship between AKI and HIE stages.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the neonatal unit of Jalalabad Ragib-Rabeya Medical College Hospital, Sylhet, between the periods of January 2018 and June 2018. A total of 130 newborns admitted in the neonatal ward within 24 hours of age with perinatal asphyxia and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy were included in the study by the consecutive sampling method. Serum creatinine level was measured at 24 hours after birth. AKI was considered if serum creatinine level was ³1.5 mg/dL.
Result: Among 130 neonates, 35.4% had HIE stage-I, 56.1% had HIE stage-II and 8.5% had HIE stage-III. AKI was present in 12.3% of the asphyxiated neonates. There were no significant relationship between AKI and demographic variables like gender, birth weight, and place of delivery, mode of delivery and parity of the mothers. AKI was significantly associated with HIE stage-II and stage-III compared to HIE stage-I (p=0.02). The mean serum creatinine level was significantly higher in HIE stage-II and stage-III than HIE stage-I (p=0.001). Among the study neonates, 28.5% died. There was no significant relationship between death and AKI (p=0.74). The Pearson correlation test revealed no statistically significant relationship between serum creatinine levels and hospital stay.
Conclusion: The incidence of acute kidney injury was 12.3% among asphyxiated newborn associated with HIE. Frequency of AKI significantly associated with severity of HIE.

Published: October 2024

Caesarean section, a frequently conducted surgical procedure in obstetrics, is instrumental in safeguarding the well-being of both mothers and infants by addressing complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. While it significantly contributes to reducing maternal and infant mortality rates, its overuse can pose serious health risks. The prevalence of caesarean deliveries has surged globally, including in Bangladesh. This rise in caesarean deliveries has prompted this research to investigate the prevalence and various associated factors in the country. To achieve the study objectives, data were extracted from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) conducted from 2017 to 2018. After preprocessing the data, a total of 4,884 women were included in the study. Frequency analysis was conducted to illustrate the distribution of sociodemographic characteristics among Bangladeshi women. Chi-square tests were performed to assess their association with caesarean delivery. Furthermore, multi-level logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the variables that have a significant impact on the likelihood of caesarean delivery. The study revealed that in Bangladesh, the prevalence of caesarean section deliveries was approximately 33.1%, with the majority of these occurring in the Dhaka division, accounting for approximately 25.3%. Women aged 20 or older were 1.62 times more likely to opt for a C-section during childbirth (OR 1.62, [1.38-1.89]) compared to those under 20. Overweight or obese women had twice the likelihood of delivering via C-section. Higher socioeconomic status also increased the probability of choosing a caesarean delivery. Women who had exposure to any form of media were 57% more likely to opt for a caesarean delivery (OR 1.57 [1.31-1.87]), while not working women had a 48% higher likelihood of having a C-section. Additionally, the study found that the use of caesarean delivery was positively associated with the husband's education level, the number of children previously born, and the number of antenatal care visits. The study revealed that the rate of C-sections in Bangladesh surpasses WHO recommendations significantly. It also identified various factors driving this trend, including women's education levels, socioeconomic status, media exposure, female obesity, age at first childbirth, and husband’s education. These insights may serve as a foundation for developing strategies to regulate the caesarean delivery rate. Urgent policy directives are essential within Bangladesh's healthcare system, coupled with vigilant monitoring of clinical indications for C-sections, to mitigate the adverse effects of unnecessary procedures.

Tumpukan sampah sebagian besar merupakan sampah plastik. Bahan plastik membutuhkan waktu kurang lebih 80 tahun untuk dapat diuraikan dan hancur. Sementara itu, penggunaan plastik dalam kehidupan manusia semakin meluas mulai dari peralatan rumah tangga, alat kesehatan, hingga bahan pembungkus makanan. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya solusi bagi permasalahan sampah plastik. Solusi yang ditawarkan tim pengabdi adalah dengan memanfaatkan sampah plastik sebagai bahan dasar pembuatan produk yang dimanfaatkan menjadi barang guna pakai salah satunya tas. Tas berbahan dasar sampah plastik dapat dimanfaatkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Dengan memberikan pembinaan kepada warga Kavling Sagulung Baru sebagai salah satu daerah pembuangan sementara sampah mengenai bahaya dan pemanfaatan sampah plastik sebagai bahan pembuatan tas diharapkan dapat mengurangi penumpukan sampah plastik. Produk yang dihasilkan berupa tas diharapkan dapat bernilai guna dan nilai jual sehingga dapat membuka lapangan pekerjaan baru bagi masyarakat Kavling Sagulung Baru, Batam.
