Gobernanza y seguridad de los Global Commons contemporáneos
Authors: Tovar Zambrano Martha Beatriz , Barrero Barrero David
Published: November 2023

Los cuatro Global Commons establecidos por el derecho internacional, conocidos según Naciones Unidas (s.f.) como: “la altamar, la atmósfera, la Antártida y el espacio exterior” (p. 48), son los recursos globales sobre los cuales ningún Estado o nación en particular puede exigir soberanía o dominio, aunque sí son de interés supranacional; por esta razón, su gobernanza ha sido objeto de acción en las agendas internacionales de gran parte de los Estados. Colombia, a pesar de haber tenido grandes avances en búsqueda de un mejor posicionamiento a nivel mundial, aún enfrenta desafíos que le exigen incluir en su agenda internacional acciones significativas en términos de desarrollo sostenible, gestión y protección del medio ambiente e investigación científica. El presente artículo pretende evidenciar la importancia de la Antártida, vista como un fenómeno de supervivencia para Colombia en el contexto de las relaciones internacionales. Para ello, se abordará un paradigma crítico-propositivo como medio para identificar, interpretar, analizar, concebir y comprender las amenazas, así como los retos y oportunidades frente a la participación de Colombia en estos modelosde gobernanza global, en donde la Antártida se configura como punto de convergencia entre ellos.

Existence of Split Property in Quaternion Algebra Over Composite of Quadratic Fields
Authors: Faldiyan Muhammad , Carnia Ema , Supriatna Asep Kuswandi
Published: November 2023

Quaternions are extensions of complex numbers that are four-dimensional objects. Quaternion consists of one real number and three complex numbers, commonly denoted by the standard vectors  and . Quaternion algebra over the field is an algebra in which the multiplication between standard vectors is non-commutative and the multiplication of standard vector with itself is a member of the field. The field considered in this study is the quadratic field and its extensions are biquadratic and composite. There have been many studies done to show the existence of split properties in quaternion algebras over quadratic fields. The purpose of this research is to prove a theorem about the existence of split properties on three field structures, namely quaternion algebras over quadratic fields, biquadratic fields, and composite of  quadratic fields. We propose two theorems about biquadratic fields and composite of  quadratic fields refer to theorems about the properties of the split on quadratic fields. The result of this research is a theorem proof of three theorems with different field structures that shows the different conditions of the three field structures. The conclusion is that the split property on quaternion algebras over fields exists if certain conditions can be met.

Authors: Fitrianto Anwar , Choon Lai Ming , Wan Muhamad Wan Zuki Azman
Published: November 2023

Common control chart types such as EWMA require assumptions to have valid information.  The study compares IC robustness and OOC performance for parametric EWMA and NPEWMA-SR control charts in violation of symmetrical assumption. The Monte Carlo simulation study held scale parameters with various shape parameters in Weibull distribution. First finding in this paper was both parametric EWMA and NPEWMA-SR control charts were not suitable for the application in asymmetrical distribution due to weak IC robustness and frequent false alarm will be occurred. Although EWMA-X ̅ The control chart showed a most stable OOC performance; the weak IC robustness made the control chart unacceptable. Whereas, NPEWMA-SR control chart lost the ability in small shift detection when symmetrical assumption violated. Moreover, two different weightage of current sample for both parametric EWMA and NPEWMA-SR control charts were also investigated. The results showed that weightage of current sample for both parametric EWMA and NPEWMA-SR control charts did not affect the ARL value trend in different skewness of Weibull distribution.
Formulating the Strategy for Agrotourism Destinations: Nglingoo Tourism Vilage, Samigaluh, Kulon Progo
Authors: Murtini Umi , Hardiyanto Purnawan
Published: November 2023

This study aims to develop the strategy to attract tourists to visit the Nglinggo tea plantation as a tourist destination in Samigaluh, Kulon Progo Regency. The research data used primary data which was collected using interviews, filling out questionnaires and focus group discussions. The data were obtained from the tourists who are visiting the Nglinggo tea plantation, the tour managers and Pager Harjo village officials. The analysis tools used the External Factor Evaluation Matrix (EFE), Internal Factor Evaluation Matrix (IFE) and the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). From the results of the IFE and EFE matrices, then SWOT table is compiled to obtain several alternative strategies. The alternative strategies that exist are analyzed using QSPM to get the right strategy. The results of the analysis obtained IFE and EFE values above the average. The educational value of picking and processing tea and its culture had a greater value than its weaknesses, namely the destruction by tourists, lack of roads and electricity infrastructures. The external environmental conditions that become the opportunities are the changes in people's lifestyles, the support from the government for tourism development and the good image by tourists. The strategic options that can be taken are: making the activity of drinking tea as a tradition in Indonesia, increasing the educational tours of picking and processing tea, working with the government to build roads that facilitate the tourist to get to the tourist attractions safer and increasing the electrical installations around the tourist attractions as well as educating the public and the tourists about the conservation of the environment.
Patrones de interacción comunicativa en el aula de matemáticas
Authors: Leguizamón Romero José Francisco
Published: November 2023

En este libro se analizan aspectos de la práctica profesional, en especial los patrones de interacción comunicativa de docentes de la Licenciatura en Matemáticas de la UPTC y su resignificación con base en la reflexión sobre su propia práctica. Para ello, se emplearon referentes desde cuatro grandes tópicos: las interacciones; los modelos pedagógicos y didácticos del profesor; el análisis didáctico de una clase, haciendo énfasis en el enfoque ontosemiótico de la cognición matemática, el cual fue tomado como referente para este estudio; y la comunicación, entendida como una interacción social mediada por el lenguaje, en la que el objetivo de cada sujeto es entender y hacerse entender. Esta investigación corresponde a un estudio mixto con predominio cualitativo, enfoque descriptivo interpretativo y metodología de estudio de caso. El trabajo de campo consistió en actividades realizadas dentro del Grupo de Trabajo Colaborativo — compuesto por tres profesores y el investigador, todos de la Licenciatura en Matemáticas de la UPTC — , en las cuales se reflexionó sobre la práctica pedagógica de los participantes del grupo. Se llevó a cabo un análisis completo antes, durante y después del trabajo colaborativo, que permitió determinar aspectos de resignificación. Una de las conclusiones fundamentales de la investigación es que, al finalizar la labor con el grupo de trabajo colaborativo, los docentes lograron dar un nuevo significado a sus prácticas profesionales, pues pasaron de una tipología de clase con características unidireccionales a una con características reflexivas. También consiguieron resignificar los patrones de interacción comunicativa, puesto que en la primera fase se presentaron patrones centrados en el profesor, pero después estos se enfocaron en el estudiante.
Digitalisation and Subnational Tax Administration in Nigeria
Authors: Masud Abdulsalam , Mohammed Sani Damamisau , Gimba Yusuf Abdu
Published: November 2023

There has recently been an expansion in the use of digital financial services and digital IDs by tax authorities. However, the extent to which such technologies are being adopted and data from them used strategically to improve tax administration has been little explored, especially as regards subnational tax administrations. This study investigates the extent of the adoption and strategic usage of data from e-tax systems and digital IDs by state internal revenue services (SIRSs) in Nigeria. It analyses whether IT adoption correlates with tax performance among these authorities. It highlights the need for SIRSs to improve their adoption and strategic use of data from e-tax systems and digital IDs and finds that lessons could be learned from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). The study’s uniqueness lies in its focus on the supply side of technology in tax administration within decentralised tax administration jurisdictions. Primary data was collected through qualitative interviews and evaluated using thematic analysis; secondary data on internally generated revenue (IGR) was also used. This is a Summary of African Tax Administration Paper 29.
Neuropsychology of consumer food choice
Authors:   Cardiff University, UK, Foxall Gordon R. ,   Reykjavik University, Iceland, Robayo-Pinzon Oscar ,   Universidad del Rosario, Colombia, Rojas-Berrio Sandra ,   Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Colombia
Published: November 2023

The neuropsychology of food consumption is a vast subject. This chapter concentrates on how value is established at the neurophysiological level and how it is related to behaviour. This is especially pertinent to the analysis of consumer choice, which refers here to being faced with two or more options, each of which has its own set of short and long term consequences that are in conflict with one another. Situations of choice arise principally when the expected outcomes of purchasing one commodity are relatively immediate, while those of a competing purchase are delayed, e.g., the taste reward of consuming a hyper-palatable food now as opposed to a healthier life enjoyed in the longer term.
The effects of consumer perception of food safety and quality in food purchase decisions
Authors:   University of Guelph, Canada, Wilcock Anne , Boys Kathryn A. ,   North Carolina State University, USA, Ball Brita ,   University of Guelph, Canada
Published: November 2023

Consumers expect their food to be safe and of high quality. However, food safety issues can and do occur. This chapter covers a wide range of topics that explain consumer perceptions of food safety and quality and how they relate to subsequent purchase decisions. It begins with a discussion of the numerous factors that consumers consider as they make decisions about what food to purchase. It examines consumers’ intent to purchase specific types of food and how intent is correlated with purchase behaviour per se. Finally, the recent Covid-19 pandemic is known to have affected consumer perceptions of safety in general. This chapter ends with a discussion of how the pandemic has affected consumer perceptions of food safety and, ultimately, their purchase behaviour. Recognizing the broad scope of this topic, the discussion in this chapter focuses on recent studies of purchase behaviour by North American and European consumers.

Decoding Dwarfism: Gene Expression in Different Almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] Species
Authors: ALTUNOK Sümeyye
Published: November 2023

The hindered growth characteristics evident in almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] plants exert a significant influence on the yield. Nevertheless, the precise underlying mechanisms are still largely uncharted. In analogous botanical instances, pivotal regulators of growth and development have been recognized as gibberellin (GA) and brassinosteroid (BR) genes. Notwithstanding, these genetic determinants functions remain insufficiently probed within the context of almonds, a crop species of pronounced economic significance. Within the confines of this inquiry, we endeavoured to scrutinize the repercussions of GA and BR metabolic genes on the stunted growth phenomenon within almonds. This objective was pursued by exploring the impact of the administration of exogenous gibberellin 3 (GA3) on the stunted growth characteristics, accompanied by an exhaustive analysis of the transcriptional profiles pertaining to GA and BR genes in the aftermath of said treatment. The assessment of the expression levels of prospective genes associated with the stunted growth attributes was executed across both diminutive and semi-diminutive almond cultivars. The findings derived from our investigations have unequivocally unveiled heightened expression patterns of these select genes within the stem and root tissues of both modest and semi-modest almond cultivars. Such observations cogently suggest the plausible cardinal roles undertaken by these specific genetic elements in the orchestration of the stunted growth trait conspicuous in almond plants. Thus, it can contribute to regulating plant height, increasing productivity and reducing branch breakage.
Sztuka jako nauka na specjalnych zasadach. Dziedzina, instrument poznania, kryteria ewaluacji
Authors: Szczepanik Joanna
Published: November 2023

Czy w obrębie polskiego systemu szkolnictwa wyższego sztuka jest nauką? Choć w oficjalnych dokumentach mowa o „poziomie artystycznym prowadzonej działalności naukowej”, kluczowa instytucja narodowa promująca badania naukowe nie finansuje działalności artystycznej. Rodzi się zatem pytanie o obecność sztuki i kryteria jej ewaluacji nie tylko w ramach dyscyplin artystycznych, lecz również nauk humanistycznych i społecznych. Mowa tu o praktykach opartych na sztuce (Art Based Research), przekraczających konwencje zarówno sztuki, jak i badań naukowych. Włączenie sztuki w obszar nauki jest bowiem równoznaczne z wyborem sposobu, poprzez który świat ma być opisywany i doświadczany, wpływa na dobór tematów i pytań badawczych. Wzbudzając emocje, kwestionuje dominującą rolę słowa, podważa pozytywistyczną dychotomię fakt–fikcja, racjonalne–emocjonalne. Jednocześnie otwiera się na otoczenie społeczne, dążąc ku generowaniu wiedzy społecznie i politycznie zaangażowanej. Nowe formy przedstawienia wymagają nie tylko wypracowania przez badaczy nowych kompetencji, lecz również ustalenia nowych kryteriów oceny badań naukowych, a być może również redefinicji podstawowych pojęć, takich jak nauka, wiedza czy badanie. Ustalenie i wdrożenie tych kryteriów jest zależne od decyzji państwowego systemu szkolnictwa, od władzy ewaluacyjnej kształtującej również sektor nauki.
Na drodze do metodologii otwartej, czyli animacja kultury jako badanie na przykładzie działań olsztyńskiej „Pracowni”
Authors: Dobiasz-Krysiak Maja
Published: November 2023

W artykule opisuję zarys otwartej metodologii animacji kultury jako twórczego badania siebie i świata. Wychodząc od praktyk Interdyscyplinarnej Placówki Twórczo-Badawczej „Pracownia” proponuję typologię, na którą składa się sześć ruchów po mapie. Pierwszy z nich to degradujący ruch w dół, który nazywam również „brudem”. Ma on dwa wymiary. Po pierwsze, oznacza otwartość na działanie w obszarach objętych kryzysem. Po drugie, wskazuje na gotowość do „zabrudzania sensu”, a więc działania subwersywnego, krytycznego, politycznego. Dalej następuje ruch w górę: wznoszący, oczyszczający, budujący koinopolityczne wspólnoty myśli lokalnej, zwane przez „Pracownię” domowiskami. Innym jego aspektem jest ruch sondy — podróż w głąb siebie. Ostatnie z typów ruchu to przemieszczanie się wzdłuż i w poprzek. Wzdłużny ruch badawczy podąża za geografią, odkrywa i ucieleśnia ją. Ruch poprzeczny wyznacza nowe, wielorakie linie nadające doświadczeniu głębię, wydeptuje nowe ścieżki, wytwarza świadomość mięśniową i gotowość do przekraczania, modyfikowania i demontażu mapy.
Transparentność konfliktu: o różnych funkcjach polityki kulturalnej
Authors: Golinowska Karolina
Published: November 2023

Celem artykułu jest analiza pojęcia polityki kulturalnej ze szczególnym naciskiem położonym na charakterystykę pojęcia kultury. Kultura ograniczona do przestrzeni odświętnej, oferty programowej bądź czynnika napędzającego rozwój traci swój szeroki antropologiczny wymiar i powiązania ze sferą wartości oraz treściami o charakterze światopoglądowym. To zaś może wynikać z celowego działania twórców polityki kulturalnej jako próba zwiększenia inkluzywnego charakteru treści kulturowych i jednocześnie strategia podtrzymująca obowiązujące relacje władzy. Autorka analizuje różne wizje polityki kulturalnej i potencjalne kierunki jej rozwoju, dla których punktem odniesienia staje się ujęcie polityki kultury zaproponowane przez Jima McGuigana. Ono też pozwala wydobyć niewygodny dla rządzących fakt, że pozornie transparentna przestrzeń polityki kultury to de facto przestrzeń konfliktu i ścierających się interesów.
Die Burg Lisberg : Inventarisation der archäologischen Funde
Authors: Ziegler Britta
Published: November 2023

Die Lisberger Burg im Landkreis Bamberg ist eine der ältesten Burganlagen Oberfrankens, die alle kriegerischen Konflikte im Lauf der Jahrhunderte unzerstört überstanden hat. Unzureichende Erhaltungsmaßnahmen und Pflege setzten dem Baudenkmal besonders ab der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts dermaßen zu, dass durch die nahezu 100jährige Nutzung des Anwesens als Wirtschaftshof ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts der Verfall nur bedingt aufgehalten werden konnte. Hans Fischer erstand 1968 die Hauptburg in einem desolaten Zustand und sanierte sie, finanziell unterstützt durch den Bayerischen Entschädigungsfond, mit großer Umsicht. Zudem ermöglichte er durch die von ihm und seiner Familie organisierten Veranstaltungen und zahllosen Führungen den öffentlichen Zugang zur Burg Lisberg. Seiner Leidenschaft für dieses Denkmal ist auch die umfangreiche Sammlung an Realien zu verdanken, die noch heute in den Räumlichkeiten der Burg besichtigt werden kann. Ein weiteres Anliegen war Hans Fischer die Lokalisierung des ehemaligen Brunnens. Vergeblich bemühte er sich bei diversen Einrichtungen der Universität Würzburg um wissenschaftliche Unterstützung. Schließlich führte Fischer die Suche Ende der 1970er- bis Anfang der 1980er-Jahre in Eigenregie durch, wodurch die Schürfungen im Burghof, bis auf einige Lageskizzen der Baubefunde, leider undokumentiert blieben. Das damals geborgene, unstratifizierte Fundmaterial besitzt somit lediglich eine geringe archäologische Aussagekraft. Der vorliegende Aufsatz vereint die bisher in dieser Ausführlichkeit zuletzt Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts publizierte Geschichte der Burganlage mit der Präsentation der aus der Nutzungszeit stammenden Bodenfunde, die einen Einblick in die Sachkultur der gesellschaftlichen Oberschicht vom Hochmittelalter bis zur jüngsten Neuzeit vermitteln.
Acute pancreatitis in pregnancy and familial chylomicronemia syndrome: case report and literature review
Authors: Jaafar Batoul , Abou Chaaya Jessica , Ammar Shahed , Salti Ibrahim
Published: November 2023

Acute pancreatitis rarely occurs in pregnancy, with hypertriglyceridemia being the fourth leading cause during pregnancy. Hypertriglyceridemia, of which Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome is the most severe form, ranks among the four principal causes of pancreatitis in pregnancy. Total Plasma exchange (TPE) has been found to be an effective and safe intervention both as a therapeutic and a prophylactic act. A 22-year-old female with FCS presented at the 21st week of gestation with acute hypertriglyceridemia pancreatitis. Despite medical management, she was then started on TPE at the two-week follow-up after serum triglyceride level was out of control. The triglyceride dropped from 55.0 % to 77.5 % during these sessions. Despite these interventions, pancreatitis recurred in week 34. An emergency C-section was carried out after a drop in the fetal heart rate. Postpartum triglycerides dropped by 57 % but remained above 1,000 mg/dl. FCS is difficult to manage during pregnancy, and it frequently fails to respond to various pharmacologic lines. TPE can help prolong a pregnancy, but it is not a definite treatment. Novel therapies for hypertriglyceridemia in pregnancy await additional safety testing.

The Neglected Sibling: NLRP2 Inflammasome in the Nervous System
Authors: Ducza László , Gaál Botond
Published: November 2023

While classical NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing protein 1 (NLRP1) and NLRP3 inflammasomal proteins have been extensively investigated, the contribution of NLRP2 is still ill-defined in the nervous system. Given the putative significance of NLRP2 in orchestrating neuroinflammation, further inquiry is needed to gain a better understanding of its connectome, hence its specific targeting may hold a promising therapeutic implication. Therefore, bioinformatical approach for extracting information, specifically in the context of neuropathologies, is also undoubtedly preferred. To the best of our knowledge, there is no review study selectively targeting only NLRP2. Increasing, but still fragmentary evidence should encourage researchers to thoroughly investigate this inflammasome in various animal- and human models. Taken together, herein we aimed to review the current literature focusing on the role of NLRP2 inflammasome in the nervous system and more importantly, we provide an algorythm-based protein network of human NLRP2 for elucidating potentially valuable molecular partnerships.
A Hydroacoustic Adversarial Strategy Based on the Matrix Game Theory
Authors: Zhao Huijin , Cheng Huabin , Chen Yu
Published: November 2023

Due to the great threat of torpedo against surface warships, an efficient hydroacoustic countermeasure system must output realtime strategies that can accommodate varied antagonizing scenarios. Aiming at the decision-making problem in the anti-torpedo hydroacoustic countermeasure cases, this paper proposes an intelligent adversarial strategy based on the game theory. By discretizing the strategy space of both sides, a matrix game model is established with the payoff characterized by the capture probability of attacking torpedo. An improved simplex algorithm is then developed to get the mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium of the game model, with which preferred avoiding strategies can be obtained to minimize the risk of being captured by the attacking torpedo. Based on the probabilistic view of preferred adversarial strategy, the launching strategy of floating acoustic decoy can be achieved, and the evasion trajectory of warship can be confirmed simultaneously. Numerical simulation demonstrates that the proposed method can generate realtime intelligent antagonizing strategy, and consequently, can improve the survival rate of surface warships in the of anti-torpedo countermeasure scenarios.
Congestion in Heart Failure: From the Secret of a Mummy to Today's Novel Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches. A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Alevroudis Ioannis , Kotoulas Serafeim-Chrysovalantis , Tzikas Stergios , Vassilikos Vassilios
Published: November 2023

This review paper presents a flashback on the evolution of the disease throughout the centuries, describes in summary pathophysiologic mechanisms, discusses briefly the mechanism of action of the diuretics, presents their role in decongesting heart failure patients and unfolds the data behind ultrafiltration in the management of acutely or chronically decompensated heart failure (ADHF), focusing on all the available data and advancements in this field. Acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) presents a critical clinical condition characterized by worsening symptoms and signs of heart failure, necessitating prompt intervention to alleviate congestion and improve cardiac function. Diuretics have traditionally been the mainstay for managing fluid overload in ADHF. Mounting evidence suggests that due to numerous causes, such as coexisting renal failure or chronic use of the loop diuretics, an increasing rate of diuretic resistance is noticed and needs to be addressed. There has been a series of trials that combined diuretics of different categories, without the expected results. Emerging evidence suggests that ultrafiltration may offer an alternative or adjunctive approach.

Authors: Xu Hao , Gong Zhu-Xiang , Huo Li-Zhu , Guo Chaofei , Yang Xue-Juan , Wang Yu-Xuan , Luo Xi-Ping
Published: November 2023

Cellulose-based carbon (CBC) has been widely concerned with its porous structure, high specific surface area, and is liable to adsorb gas molecules and macromolecular pollutants. However, the application of CBC in gas sensing has been little studied. In this paper, ZnO/CBC heterojunction was formed by means of simple co-precipitation and high temperature carbonization. As a new ammonia sensor, the prepared ZnO/CBC sensor can detect ammonia compared with that of the previous pure ZnO ammonia sensor can not at room temperature.

The rising severity and frequency of wildfires in recent years in the United States have raised numerous concerns regarding the improvement in wildfire emergency response management and decision-making systems, which require operational high temporal and spatial resolution monitoring capabilities. Satellites are one of the tools that can be used for wildfire monitoring. However, none of the currently available satellite systems provide both high temporal and spatial resolution. For example, GOES-17 geostationary satellite fire products have high temporal (1-5 min) but low spatial resolution (2 km), and VIIRS polar orbiter satellite fire products have low temporal (~12 h) but high spatial resolution (375 m). This work aims to leverage currently available satellite data sources, such as GOES and VIIRS, along with Deep Learning (DL) advances to achieve an operational high-resolution, both spatially and temporarily, wildfire monitoring tool. Specifically, this study considers the problem of increasing the spatial resolution of high temporal but low spatial resolution GOES-17 data products using low temporal but high spatial resolution VIIRS data products. The main idea is using an Autoencoder DL model to learn how to map GOES-17 geostationary low spatial resolution satellite images to VIIRS polar orbiter high spatial resolution satellite images. In this context, several loss functions and DL architectures are implemented and tested to predict both the fire area and the corresponding brightness temperature. These models are trained and tested on wildfire sites from 2019 to 2021 in the western U.S. The results indicate that DL models can improve the spatial resolution of GOES-17 images, leading to images that mimic the spatial resolution of VIIRS images. Combined with GOES-17 higher temporal resolution, the DL model can provide high-resolution near-real-time wildfire monitoring capability as well as semi-continuous wildfire progression maps.

The basis of modern teeth whitening systems is the use of a whitening gel, usually containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect of chemical and modified office teeth whitening systems on the mineral metabolism of oral fluid and to determine a safer method. The study covered 81 patients aged 22 to 35 years of both sexes with teeth color A2 and darker on the Vita Classic scale. Determination of the concentration of calcium and phosphates in the oral fluid was carried out on a spectrophotometer using ready-made Human kits. Chemical tooth whitening was performed using a gel based on 40% hydrogen peroxide. After the procedure, remineralization therapy with enamel-sealing liquid was performed for 14 days. The obtained results indicate that the most pronounced changes in the content of calcium (+74.4%, p <0.001) and рhosphates (phosphorus) (-23.07%, p <0.001) were observed when using a chemical bleaching system. After the teeth whitening procedure using a modified technique, less pronounced changes in the concentrations of calcium (+29.07, p <0.001) and phosphorus (-14%, p <0.001) were observed. The use of remineralizing agents led to a faster recovery of the initial levels of calcium and phosphates in the oral fluid. Both bleaching systems caused similar changes in the chemical composition of the oral fluid.

X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a rare congenital myopathy resulting from dysfunction of the protein myotubularin encoded by the MTM1 gene. XLMTM has a high neonatal and infantile mortality rate due to a severe myopathic phenotype and respiratory failure. However, in a minority of XLMTM cases, patients present with milder phenotypes and achieve ambulation and adulthood. Regarding wide phenotypic variability, we investigated the genotype-phenotype correlations in newly diagnosed XLMTM patients in a patients' cohort (previously published data plus three novel variants, n=414). We found a significant association between severe phenotype and truncating variants (p < 0.001), frameshift variants (p < 0.001), nonsense variants (p = 0.006), and in/del variants (p = 0.036). On the contrary, missense variants were significantly associated with the mild and moderate phenotype (p < 0.001). We found no significant association between phenotype and the MTM1-specific functional domain, contrasting with previously published data. Based on the significant facial gestalt difference between XLMTM patients and unaffected controls (p = 0.001), we consider the Face2Gene application as an effective diagnostic tool in XLMTM when using the correct algorithm. The Face2Gene application seems to be a practical, non-invasive diagnostic approach in XLMTM.
Is Colistin Essential for the treatment and metaphylaxis of infections in Food-Producing Animals; One Health Debate

Colistin [polymyxin E] is a veterinary exclusive antimicrobial and one of the oldest antibiotics that is currently recognised as one of the highest priority critically important antimicrobials for humans. It is extensively used for multiple medical and non-medical purposes particularly for growth promotion, prophylaxis/metaphylaxis and therapeutic in food animals. As a result, colistin resistance was widespread along the food-chain linking to multidrug resistant bacterial infections in humans reflected by greater use of colistin in healthcare settings resulted in different types of bans/restrictions in food-producing animals, around the world. This report debates the testimonies of 23 countries representing the bulk of global food producing animal production, providing robust evidence on the essential need for colistin in animal production.

Published: November 2023

A millimeter-wave microstrip leaky-wave antenna array based on the substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) and the complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) is proposed in this paper. The slow wave characteristics of the SIW are enhanced by etching two rows of symmetrical CSRR-type slots on the surface of the SIW layer. The magnetic coupling between the CSRR-SIW layer and equally spaced circular patches array on the upper layer realizes the radiation of electromagnetic energy. In the 23~30 GHz (relative bandwidth 26.4%) operating frequency band, the horizontal polarization radiation beam scanning from -62° to -2° is realized, with a peak gain of 9.6~11.7 dBi, and the cross-polarization ratio is more than 43.8 dB.

Declining agricultural productivity caused by soil salinization are becoming global dilemmas in recent years. Biofertilizers show great potential as a sustainable and environmentally friendly fertilization strategy for soil improvement, but their effectiveness for saline soil amendment and improving plant growth under saline stress is not well understood. Assess the effectiveness of biofertilizers in improving saline soils and enhancing crop growth under saline stress, as well as investigate its related potential mechanisms. Changes in soil physico-chemical properties, plant physiological parameters and soil microbial communities were analyzed through pot experiments. The results showed that the application of biofertilizer reduced total soluble salts (TSS) in soil by 30.8% and increased the Brassica rapa L. biomass by 8.4 times. Biofertilizer application increased soil organic matter (SOM), total nitrogen (TN) and available phosphorus (AP). Biofertilizer applications also increased the SOD, CAT, chl.a, chl.b, total soluble sugars, and Proline content. Biofertilizers present plant growth promotion and potential pathogenic fungi reduction by increasing the abundance of Bacillus and Planococcus and decreasing the abundance of Mortierella and Aspergillus. Overall, the results of this study demonstrated the excellent efficacy of biofertilizers in improving saline soils, and the application of biofertilizer strategies will greatly promote agricultural production.
Heritable Epigenetic Modification of BpIAA9 Causes the Reversion Mutation of Leaf Shapes in Betula pendula ‘Dalecarlica’

The European white birch, scientifically known as Betula pendula, and its variant, B. pendula 'Dalecarlica' are characterized by a serrated leaf margin that enhances their aesthetic appeal. However, the lobed leaf trait can undergo random and spontaneous reversion to the typical ovoid or cordate shape during asexual reproduction. Investigating and elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying this unpredictable reversion mutation is essential for comprehending the birch leaf development process. In this research, we employed a non-lobed-leaf mutant derived from a lobed-leaf birch clone during plant tissue culture. We adopted a multi-omics approach, including whole-genome resequencing, transcriptome sequencing, and methylation profiling, to analyze and compare genomic variations and gene expression modifications. The study revealed that the 24 variant genes affected by 1464 SNP/InDel sites in the genome of the non-lobed-leaf mutant are not associated with leaf development. While the overall methylation level in the mutant's genome closely resembles that of the serrated-leaf birch, ten genes exhibit differential methylation accompanied by differential expression. Transcriptome sequencing demonstrated that the differentially downregulated genes in the mutant are significantly enriched in the GO:0009733 (response to auxin) and GO:0009734 (auxin-activated signaling) pathways. Validation through McrBC-PCR and qRT-PCR confirmed differential methylation and expression of BpIAA9 in the reversion mutant. The elevated methylation level in the BpIAA9 promoter leads to reduced expression, resulting in changes in the expression of auxin-responsive genes. This, in turn, leads to a transcriptional downregulation enrichment effect in auxin-related pathways in the reversion mutant, ultimately inhibiting the regulation of leaf veins by auxin during their development.
Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) and Work Adjustment As Protective Factors in Reducing Job Exhaustion and Turnover Intention: A Double-Mediation Model
Authors: Petrilli Sara , Giunchi Marianna , Vonthron Anne-Marie
Published: November 2023

Combining the Job Demands-Resourses model and the Work Adjustment theory, this research aims to create a theoretical model that considers Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) and Work Adjustment as protective factors, capable of reducing job exhaustion and turnover intention. A convenience sample of 257 Italian employees filled an online self-report questionnaire. A sequential mediation model was tested, which showed that the relationship between LMX and turnover intention is mediated by Work Adjustment and Job Exhaustion. The results show that the higher the LMX, the higher the work adjustment of the workers and the less they will perceive job exhaustion and, consequently, intent to leave the organisation. With a view to primary prevention, the aim was to investigate possible protective factors at work and the risk factors to look out for in order to move in the direction of preventing a malaise phenomenon before it develops with the aim of promoting wellbeing in organisations.
