Authors: Lee Su In , Lee Hwa-Jung , Kwak Youn-Sig
Published: April 2024

Brown rot disease, caused by Monilinia spp., poses a significant threat to pome and stone fruit crops globally, resulting in substantial economic losses during pre- and post-harvest stages. Monilinia fructigena, M. laxa, and M. fructicola are identified as the key agents responsible for brown rot disease. In this study, we employed the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) method to assess the genetic diversity of 86 strains of Monilinia spp. isolated from major stone fruit cultivation regions in South Korea. Specifically, strains were collected from Chungcheong, Gangwon, Gyeonggi, Gyeongsang, and Jeolla provinces (-do). A comparative analysis of strain characteristics, such as isolation locations, host plants, and responses to chemical fungicides, was conducted. AFLP phylogenetic classification using 20 primer pairs revealed the presence of three distinct groups, with strains from Jeolla province consistently forming a separate group at a high frequency. Furthermore, M. fructicola was divided into three groups by the AFLP pattern. Principal coordinate analysis and PERMANOVA were applied to compare strain information, such as origin, host, and fungicide sensitivity, revealing significant partition patterns for AFLP according to geographic origin and host plants. This study represents the utilization of AFLP methodology to investigate the genetic variability among M. fructicol isolates, highlighting the importance of continuous monitoring and management of variations in the brown rot pathogen.

Huanglongbing (HLB) is a disease caused by the phloem- limited Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) that affects the citrus industry worldwide. To date, only indirect strategies have been implemented to eradicate HLB. Included among these is the population control of the psyllid vector (Diaphorina citri), which usually provides inconsistent results. Even though strategies for direct CLas suppression seem a priori more promising, only a handful of reports have been focused on a confrontation of the pathogen. Recent developments in polymer chemistry have allowed the design of polycationic self-assembled block copolymers with outstanding antibacterial capabilities. Here, we report the use of polymeric nano-sized bactericide particles (PNB) to control CLas directly in the phloem vasculature. The field experiments were performed in Rioverde, San Luis Potosí, and is one of the most important citrusproducing regions in Mexico. An average 52% reduction in the bacterial population was produced when PNB was injected directly into the trunk of 20 infected trees, although, in some cases, reduction levels reached 97%. These results position PNB as a novel and promising nanotechnological tool for citrus crop protection against CLas and other related pathogens.

Published: April 2024

Fusarium head blight (FHB), predominantly caused by Fusarium graminearum and F. asiaticum, is a significant fungal disease impacting small-grain cereals. The absence of highly resistant cultivars underscores the need for vigilant FHB surveillance to mitigate its detrimental effects. In 2023, a notable FHB outbreak occurred in the southern region of Korea. We assessed FHB disease severity by quantifying infected spikelets and grains. Isolating fungal pathogens from infected samples often encounters interference from various microorganisms. We developed a cost-effective, selective medium, named BGT (Burkholderia glumae Toxoflavin) medium, utilizing B. glumae, which is primarily known for causing bacterial panicle blight in rice. This medium exhibited selective growth properties, predominantly supporting Fusarium spp., while substantially inhibiting the growth of other fungi. Using the BGT medium, we isolated F. graminearum and F. asiaticum from infected wheat and barley samples across Korea. To further streamline the process, we used a direct PCR approach to amplify the translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF-1α) region without a separate genomic DNA extraction step. Phylogenetic analysis of the TEF-1α region revealed that the majority of the isolates were identified as F. asiaticum. Our results demonstrate that BGT medium is an effective tool for FHB diagnosis and Fusarium strain isolation.

Authors: Mansour Ashraf Waleed , Mansur Visam , Banat Shafiq , Banat Mead Mohamad
Published: April 2024

The paper explores the complex issue of patriarchal principles that shape the socialization of men in Arab societies, where the criterion for masculinity is deeply rooted in adherence to cultural norms. Through the lens of Nasrallah’s novel Balcony of Disgrace (2010), the study analyzes the impact of the societal concept of honor on male identity and the difficult choices faced by men in such societies. The novel highlights the oppressive nature of patriarchal societies, which link male honor with female sexuality and legitimize the murder of women to preserve man’s image. The paper argues that patriarchal oppression not only extends to women but also to men who face public criticism for not conforming to patriarchal norms. The study aims to fill the gap in the existing literature on honor killings by highlighting the crises of both male and female identities. Overall, this paper provides a critical analysis of the impact of patriarchal norms on male identity and the societal consequences of gender-based violence in Arab societies.

Authors: Facioli Lara Rodrigues , Costa Ana Júlia da , Zimkovicz Rafaela
Published: April 2024

Este texto tem como objetivo compreender as gramáticas morais por meio das redes de abortamento construídas por e entre mulheres no contexto brasileiro. Nosso intuito é analisar como a organização entre essas atrizes sociais é arquitetada nas omissões do Estado e nas insuficiências das políticas públicas. Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa empírica em rede (on e offline), considerando o fluxo de informações em plataformas de redes sociais e sites, a análise de cartilhas e materiais informativos e entrevistas com ativistas que atuam no atendimento de mulheres que desejam abortar. Notamos que as redes conduzidas por mulheres reconfiguram gramáticas morais em torno da noção de vítima, assim como evidenciam uma fronteira porosa entre legalidades e clandestinidades, uma vez que ocupam lacunas da realização de abortos legais, da educação em saúde reprodutiva e segurança jurídica, e da promoção de relações de gênero não vulnerabilizantes.

Identifying future district heating potentials in Germany: a study using empirical insights and distribution cost analysis
Authors: Manz Pia , Fleiter Tobias , Billerbeck Anna , Fritz Markus , Alibaş Şirin , Eichhammer Wolfgang
Published: April 2024

District heating will play an important role in the transition towards climate-neutral heating. Various studies on modelling the energy system show that district heating and the related expansion of the networks can have different levels of importance. A main reason is that the costs for distribution grid expansion are not well or not at all considered and empirical evidence for a threshold for cost-effective distribution costs is missing in such studies. In this paper, we aim to improve empirical evidence allowing to improve the representation of future district heating expansion in energy systems models. For that, the current status of district heating is analysed in high spatial resolution for Germany. The results show that with the currently accepted average costs, a large range of the possible future market share of district heating for buildings between 17 - 52% is possible by 2050, with the parameters of the connection rate and the renovation rate of the building stock. We conclude that the district heating share could be increased by the factor of 2 to 5 in the future, proving the importance of climate-neutral district heating in the transition.

Tamil Nadu reflects the rich heritage of Hindu temples and historical sites with a long legacy. People worship and revere trees in every temple with most devotion. The Reverence to the trees in temples is practiced across the world and is well established from pre-historic periods in India (Bharat). Sthala-vriksha (Sacred Tree) is the tree which is significant and unique in most of the temples in India. In the present study, ethnomedicinal survey of sacred trees was carried out in the Theni District of Tamil Nadu with the support of a standardized questionnaire. No detailed study has been conducted on sacred tree practices and its role in Theni district. Therefore, Ethnomedicinal uses and other related information about sacred trees occurring in the 18 temples of Theni district have been documented in the present study in the year 2023. The result has revealed the occurrence of 13 plant species in the 18 temples. Most of the temples are maintained by Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment department of Tamil Nadu Government while very few are maintained by local villagers. Aegle marmelos (L.) was the most frequently recorded sacred tree (n=5) in the present study. Species were accurately identified and authenticated, and specimens were preserved for further use.

When the Bear Comes to Town: How the City Could Create Nature
Authors: Roggema Rob , Rodriguez Diego , Tillie Nico
Published: April 2024

The relationship between humans and nature is in permanent change. Where the city and nature used to be seen as enemies that needed to be kept away from each other, the current paradigm looks at a more symbiotic relationship. In this, man is seen as part of nature, and the city is seen as a determining factor in providing conditions for a rich urban ecology. In this study, urban conditions are seen as the starting point for urban design, enabling biodiversity to thrive. The aim of the research is to distill design strategies that enhance nature in an urban context. These strategies are derived from existing theories, the typical relationship between the city and nature, and the understanding of the natural landscape, and are applied in the heated, dry, and rocky conditions in the metropolitan region of Monterrey, Mexico. The main finding is that the city contains ecologies with their own characteristics, often distinct from rural or natural ecologies. These specific conditions can be amplified using adequate design strategies, which may lead to a greater biodiversity. For improving urban biodiversity, the perspective on the city shall be transformed from seeing it as an enemy of nature towards a symbiotic relationship between the two. At the same time, this perspective requires additional research into two main aspects: the way the city is able to create its own climatic conditions, and how landscape-based design can enhance the urban conditions in a way nature occupies these novel ecological niches.

Authors: Eroğlu Halil Erhan
Published: April 2024

The chromosomal data, particularly karyotype asymmetry, provide valuable information on karyotypic phylogeny and speciation. The karyotype asymmetry is a good expression of the general morphology of chromosomes. The S/AI is a formula used to calculate the karyotype asymmetry. The formula was applied to 79 species and five subspecies from 46 genera for female individuals and 72 species and five subspecies from 42 genera for male individuals in the Bovidae family. According to the S/AI values between 1.2903 and 3.0000, the dendrograms were drawn to demonstrate the interspecies relationships in the family. The karyotypes of females were symmetrical in 10 species and two subspecies from 6 genera and between symmetrical and asymmetrical in 69 species and three subspecies from 40 genera. Male karyotypes were symmetrical in 10 species and two subspecies from 6 genera and between symmetrical and asymmetrical in 62 species and three subspecies from 36 genera. The dendrograms will contribute to phylogenetic studies in mammals. Already, they showed results similar to those of molecular taxonomy.

Published: April 2024

Cisplatin is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of many cancers. The most important dose-limiting side effect is hepatotoxicity. Some studies have shown that antioxidant treatment with cisplatin reduces the toxic effect. In the present study, we were aimed to investigate the protective effects of antioxidant β-glucan on histological injury caused by cisplatin treatment in the liver. Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups according to time of sacrifice, 7th day and 14th day (n=20 rats each). Both groups were then divided into four sub-groups Control, Cisplatin (10 mg/kg bw), β-glucan (100 mg/kg bw) and cisplatin+β-glucan (n=5 in each group). The rats were sacrificed at the 7th day and 14th day after the last injection. The liver sections were evaluated under a light microscope after the histological procedure. Histological injury caused by cisplatin in different days were evaluated as as sinusoidal congestion, hydropic degeneration, disorganization of hepatic cords, and mononuclear cellular infiltration in liver. When β-glucan was administered with cisplatin, it was determined that cellular damage caused by cisplatin decreased considerably in the liver in the different days groups. The light microscopic examination showed that the antioxidant beta-glucan protects against hepatotoxicity caused by cisplatin with its free radical scavenging effect. In conclusion, β-glucan may improve patients' quality of life by reducing cisplatin's toxicity on the liver.

Açaí is a native Amazonian plant rich in antioxidant compounds such as polyphenols, anthocyanins and phenolic compounds, substances capable of neutralizing oxidative stress and helping to prevent various diseases. As a result, there has been much discussion about its use as a functional food. One alternative for the industry is the commercialization of dried extracts from plants. To this end, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant action of powdered açaí extract, in order to assess the composition of phenolics and DPPH present in a dry extract of açaí. The extracts evaluated were called samples A and B. In both tests, Sample A obtained lower values than Sample B for both phenolic compounds (6.42 ± 0.12) and DPPH antioxidant capacity (20.69 ± 0.16). In this context, it is necessary to investigate more rigorously the composition and efficacy of extracts made from açaí pulp and sold on the market, in order to provide consumers with a safer guarantee of the bioactive compounds present in the food.
