Actinomycetes as a Possible Source of Bioremediation of Heavy Metal Cadmium from Contaminated Soil
Authors: Musani Tasnim , Das Mousumi
Published: May 2024

Annually, a significant volume of chemicals, encompassing fertilizers and pesticides, is administered to agricultural soils. Using pesticides and fertilizers, agricultural practices contribute to heavy metal Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn) pollution. Heavy metals and pesticides are high at the peak of ecological contaminants, presence of this has introduced grave risks to the health of the population and agronomics. Among heavy metals, cadmium (Cd) is recognized for its high mobility in various environmental settings. Cd has a deleterious effect on plant phenotypic, cytotoxicity (e.g., lowering chlorophyll concentration and limiting photosynthetic effectiveness), and metabolic activities (e.g., chlorosis and necrosis). Microbial bioremediation by using microorganisms is one of the secure, pure, cost operative and eco-friendly technology for decontaminating polluting sites as compared to physical and chemical techniques. Among microbes, Actinobacteria hold a paramount position, serving as key players in numerous biological processes, utilize toxins as carbon source and turn into high concentrations of pesticides, chemical complexes and heavy metals into commercially viable antibiotics, enzymes, proteins, and plant growth promoting hormones. This study is an effort to explore the potent cadmium resistance actinomycetes to reduce cadmium levels to enhance degradation. For this purpose, 53 actinomycetes strains were tested for heavy metal resistance and tolerance to Cadmium against different concentrations. After secondary screening Four potent isolate have the potential to grow at 1000 mg/L concentration of Cadmium in the medium. When they are able to grow on heavy metal containing media it could be beneficial for reduction and elimination of toxic metals from contaminated environment. When it comes to achieving a suitable level of metal tolerance, this potent powerful actinomycetes strain Streptomyces pactum have been identified to be promising.
Bamboo Bandalling Technique for River Bank Protection and Flood Control – A Critical Review
Authors: Ali Md Shaheer
Published: May 2024

River training is crucial for safeguarding river banks against erosion and preventing damage during floods. Various established methods like spurs, dykes, and revetments have been employed for many years. Researchers are currently investigating a novel river training approach known as bandal-like structures, aiming to demonstrate their cost-effectiveness as a potential alternative to existing structures. The bamboo bandalling technique effectively controls erosion and promotes sedimentation in rivers, reducing sediment loads. Biodegradable bamboo, readily available and cost-effective, ensures minimal harm to aquatic life. However, these structures require replacement after a single monsoon season, making them suitable for short-term river training in low-discharge, unsubmerged conditions. The current study analyzes scour around bandalling structures, emphasizing the need for further research to address discrepancies in velocity distribution and optimize scour control. Numerical simulation strengths and weaknesses highlight the suitability of Artificial Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms, and Computational Fluid Dynamics for different aspects of the investigation.

Published: May 2024

Objective: The importance of researching the socio-emotional development of a child is reflected in the prevention of the risk of deviations in socio-emotional development with the aim of early intervention in work with children who deviate from normal development or belong to the group of children at neurological risk. The aim of the work was to determine the validity and reliability of the socio-emotional assessment scale for standardization of the measurement instrument in the Republic of Croatia and to determine the level of socio-emotional development of young children in order to determine possible deviations from orderly development and factors influencing socio-emotional development. Methods: The socio-emotional rating scale was used in the study as a measurement tool to assess the socio-emotional development of infants (from 2 to 18 months) as an instrument for early detection of developmental deviations. Sixty-three parents from Primorsko-Goranska County participated in the survey. Results: The psychometric properties of the socio-emotional scale showed that the instrument is valid for assessing socio-emotional development with Cronbach α=0.92. At the same time, the results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the children’s socio-emotional development in relation to birth weight, type of pregnancy, time and type of delivery, and the child’s condition, indicating that the children’s parents created all the conditions for promoting orderly socio-emotional development, regardless of possible risk factors. Conclusion: The obtained results show that the questionnaire for assessing socio-emotional development in this research is valid and reliable. The research has clearly demonstrated the importance of early assessment of a child’s socio-emotional development to prevent developmental abnormalities through early intervention. The importance of assessing the validity of the questionnaire ensures its application in the work of outpatient nurses who assess infant health and development as part of comprehensive outpatient infant care

Writing at a Distance: Notes on Authorship and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Bajohr Hannes
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT: This essay provides an overview of notions of authorship in AI and natural language processing systems and discusses past and current debates about computers as literary authors. It suggests the concept of causal authorship to measure the types of distance between human and machine agents, acknowledging the anthropocentric bias of this idea. To balance this, the essay reflects on the notion of distributed authorship , which considers the network of actors involved in the creation of a text and has its own limitations. Both concepts are elements of a future theory of authorship in the age of machine learning.

Authors: Lotz Simon , Göb Madita , Böttger Sven , Ha-Wissel Linh , Hundt Jennifer , Ernst Floris , Huber Robert
Published: May 2024

We demonstrate large-area robotically assisted optical coherence tomography (LARA-OCT), utilizing a seven-degree-of-freedom robotic arm in conjunction with a 3.3 MHz swept-source OCT to raster scan samples of arbitrary shape. By combining multiple fields of view (FOV), LARA-OCT can probe a much larger area than conventional OCT. Also, nonplanar and curved surfaces like skin on arms and legs can be probed. The lenses in the LARA-OCT scanner with their normal FOV can have fewer aberrations and less complex optics compared to a single wide field design. This may be especially critical for high resolution scans. We directly use our fast MHz-OCT for tracking and stitching, making additional machine vision systems like cameras, positioning, tracking or navigation devices obsolete. This also eliminates the need for complex coordinate system registration between OCT and the machine vision system. We implemented a real time probe-to-surface control that maintains the probe alignment orthogonal to the sample by only using surface information from the OCT images. We present OCT data sets with volume sizes of 140 × 170 × 20 mm3, captured in 2.5 minutes.

Published: May 2024

Data center networks are experiencing unprecedented exponential growth, mostly driven by the continuous computing demands in machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms. Within this realm, optical networking offers numerous advantages, including low latency, energy efficiency, and bandwidth transparency, positioning it as a compelling alternative to its electronic counterparts. In this work, we showcase a range of software-defined optical networking applications deployed on a general-purpose programmable integrated photonic processor. Leveraging graph-based theory, we experimentally demonstrate dynamic optical interconnects, circuit switching, and multicasting on the same photonic platform, yielding remarkable results in terms of crosstalk and reconfiguration speed. Our approach harnesses the benefits of reconfigurability and reliability, paving the way for a new generation of high-performance optical devices tailored for data center and computing clusters.

Published: May 2024

Efficient lasing of Ga-rich BGG bulk glasses doped with Tm3+ is demonstrated. Two BGG bulk samples with Tm3+ ion concentrations of 1.27×1020 cm−3 and 2.54×1020 cm−3 were tested for their laser performance. In-band pumping was realized using a continuous-wave (CW) homemade Er-doped fiber laser at 1600 nm. A maximum slope efficiency of 27.7% was demonstrated with respect to the absorbed pump power. The emission cross-section was retrieved from the laser efficiency data for three different lasing wavelengths and compared with the theoretical calculations. The power scaling potential of the Tm3+:BGG glass was investigated and a maximum output power of 0.8 W was achieved.
Topological disclination mode in photonic Chern insulators
Authors: Xie Wentao , Wang Qiang , Xue Haoran
Published: May 2024

Topological defects in topological materials offer novel routes for creating topological modes and probing bulk topology. Disclination, a class of topological defects, has been recently shown to host fractional charges in topological crystalline insulators with well-defined Wannier centers. Here, we study the effects of disclinations in gyromagnetic photonic crystals with non-zero Chern numbers that prohibit the Wannier center picture. We find the emergence of topological disclination modes carrying orbital angular momentum from the interplay between the Chern-type topology and the effective flux induced by the disclination. When the Chern number changes its sign, the chirality of the disclination mode also flips, revealing the bulk-disclination correspondence. Furthermore, we perform numerical experiments to probe the disclination mode. Our results expand the study of disclination physics in photonic crystals to time-reversal-broken systems.
RNA polymerase II-mediated rDNA transcription mediates rDNA copy number expansion in Drosophila
Authors: Watase George J. , Yamashita Yukiko M.
Published: May 2024

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA), which encodes ribosomal RNA, is an essential but unstable genomic element due to its tandemly repeated nature. rDNA’s repetitive nature causes spontaneous intrachromatid recombination, leading to copy number (CN) reduction, which must be counteracted by a mechanism that recovers CN to sustain cells’ viability. Akin to telomere maintenance, rDNA maintenance is particularly important in cell types that proliferate for an extended time period, most notably in the germline that passes the genome through generations. In Drosophila, the process of rDNA CN recovery, known as ‘rDNA magnification’, has been studied extensively. rDNA magnification is mediated by unequal sister chromatid exchange (USCE), which generates a sister chromatid that gains the rDNA CN by stealing copies from its sister. However, much remains elusive regarding how germ cells sense rDNA CN to decide when to initiate magnification, and how germ cells balance between the need to generate DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to trigger USCE vs. avoiding harmful DSBs. Recently, we identified an rDNA-binding Zinc-finger protein Indra as a factor required for rDNA magnification, however, the underlying mechanism of action remains unknown. Here we show that Indra is a negative regulator of rDNA magnification, balancing the need of rDNA magnification and repression of dangerous DSBs. Mechanistically, we show that Indra is a repressor of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription of rDNA: Under low rDNA CN conditions, Indra protein amount is downregulated, leading to Pol II-mediated transcription of rDNA. This results in the expression of rDNA-specific retrotransposon, R2, which we have shown to facilitate rDNA magnification via generation of DBSs at rDNA. We propose that differential use of Pol I and Pol II plays a critical role in regulating rDNA CN expansion only when it is necessary.

Published: May 2024

Parents make important vaccination decisions for their children and many variables affect parents’ decisions to accept or decline vaccines. Parents are tasked with locating, understanding, and applying information to inform health decisions often using online resources; however, the digital health literacy levels of parents are unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate parents’ digital health literacy levels, their sources for vaccine information, and analyze how demographics, digital health literacy, health literacy, parental attitudes and vaccine beliefs, trust, and vaccine information sources predict vaccine acceptance. Quantitative findings of a mixed methods study that examined parental vaccine decision making across the continuum of vaccine hesitant to vaccine accepting is reported. An online survey of parents of young children living in Ontario, Canada was conducted in 2022. Multiple linear regression determined predictors of vaccine acceptance. 219 participants completed the survey and on average reported adequate digital health literacy skill. Healthcare providers were reported as the most commonly used source of vaccine information. Two models were retained that predicted vaccine acceptance, both models predicted about 50% of the variability in vaccine acceptance. Model A identified that trust predicted parent vaccine acceptance and model B identified that digital health literacy, and the vaccine information sources healthcare providers, family and friends, and alternate healthcare providers predicted vaccine acceptance. Family and friends and alternate healthcare providers negatively predicted vaccine acceptance. Most parents in our study had high levels of digital health literacy. Opportunities exist for further research and policy change focused on trust at a systemic public health level. While clinical level implications included the importance of healthcare providers as a vaccine information source and adequate digital health literacy to facilitate parental vaccine decision making. Continued efforts to develop awareness on the importance of digital health literacy among the public and healthcare providers is needed, including further research on the digital health literacy levels of Canadians.

Published: May 2024

This study investigates the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows and economic growth at sectoral levels in Bangladesh, employing a panel study framework. Utilizing sectoral-level panel data spanning six sectors from 2007–08 to 2018–19, the analysis is conducted using Panel Vector Error Correction Model (Panel VECM). Results from panel unit root tests confirm that all variables are integrated of order one I (1), indicating stationarity. The Pedroni panel co-integration test further supports the presence of co-integration among the variables. Notably, the Panel VECM reveals evidence of a unidirectional causal relationship from Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) to Real Foreign Direct Investment (RFDI) across all six sectors of Bangladesh. The findings underscore the significance of formulating pragmatic policies and implementing them effectively to attract FDI across sectors, thereby contributing to the overall economic growth of Bangladesh.
Measuring trust in one’s physician: A scoping review
Authors: Weber Linda R.
Published: May 2024

Trust in one’s physician drives positive health practices. However, the conceptualization and subsequent operationalization of trust have become clouded due to the multitude of approaches that have resulted in several different measures with varied dimensions and indicators. The objectives of this scoping review were: 1) to discover any new developments in the measurement of trust, 2) to identify those measures of trust, whether newly created or refined in the last ten years, that have known reliability and validity, and 3) to compare those instruments’ conceptualizations, dimensions, and indicators. This researcher conducted an electronic search of three databases (PubMed, SOCAB, and PsycINFO). Two reviewers screened those selected studies and identified the following six key measurement tools, of which three had shorter, more abbreviated derivatives: the Trust in Physician Scale and its modification, the Wake Forest Physician Trust Scale and its short form, the Health Care Relationship Trust Scale and its refinement, the Trust in Oncologist Scale and its shortened form, the Trust in Health Care Providers Scale, and the Trust in My Doctor Scale. Of these six distinct tools, only the Trust in Oncologist Scale was developed and validated in non-US populations. Also identified were ten dimensions of trust: fidelity, technical competence, communicative competence, interpersonal competence (i.e., caring), honesty, confidentiality, global, behavioral, fairness, and system trust/accountability. Interpersonal competence and fairness emerged as newer dimensions that deserve further study. A comparative analysis of the indicators of these trust dimensions revealed some discrepancies that deserve theoretical and psychometric attention. In addition, incorporating item-response theory to assess measurement invariance has enhanced the assessment of external validity. This review provides a resource for researchers that will lead to a more uniform understanding of trust, thereby setting the basis for future theoretical integration and measurement development.

Published: May 2024

Animal food, especially meat, has played an important role in the history of mankind. Different meats can be used in the production of meat products. In addition to lean meats, mechanically deboned meat (MDM) and mechanically separated meat (MSM) can also be used in meat products. However, the latter does not qualify as meat due to damage to the muscular structure due to the high pressure applied during the separation, therefore cannot be included in the meat content of products. The aim of our research work was to compare the characteristics of Bologna sausages made from chicken fillet, chicken MDM and poultry MSM. After evaluating our measurements (cooking loss, colour measurement, instrumental chemical composition measuring, stock measurement, determination of water activity, pH measurement, and sensory evaluation), we concluded that in the case of production with MSM, we produced a lower quality product using the same amount of meat raw material, which can be improved by using more additives (e.g. carminic acid, tetrasodium-pyrophosphate).

This research focuses on developing Islamic mindfulness-based play activities to mitigate child mental health issues in the post-pandemic context.  The study was conducted in Jakarta-Depok kindergartens using a modified Research and development (R&D) approach tailored for educational settings, as per Borg and Gall. The primary aim was to create and evaluate educational tools to foster Islamic mindfulness among young learners. The research involved identifying children's learning challenges post-pandemic and developing and refining educational games and teaching methods. Data collection encompassed observational studies, educator feedback, and direct interaction with children using the developed tools. The analysis evaluated these tools' usability, engagement level, and educational impact. The results highlighted the development of a physical model comprising a 14-chapter guidebook for tea. Still, it is a procedural model that condenses the original ten stages into seven. Essential components include yoga based on prayer movements, activities for enhancing food relationships, self-body awareness exercises, sensory training, gratitude journal writing, and positive affirmations based on Asmaul Husna. Evaluations by material and learning design experts and one-to-one teacher tests affirmed the model's quality. A field trial with 20 children showed enjoyment and preference for gratitude journal writing. Conclusively, the research effectively developed a model for Islamic mindfulness-based play activities, demonstrating the potential to enhance children's mental health post-pandemic. However, limitations such as geographic confinement and individual response variability suggest the need for broader application and further research to assess long-term impacts. This study contributes significantly to educational and psychological interventions, offering a culturally sensitive, holistic child development approach integrating mental health, spirituality, and education.

Published: May 2024

This research investigates the impact of integrating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) project-based learning (PjBL) with Ecoprint activities on developing creative thinking skills in early childhood. A mixed-methods concurrent embedded design was adopted, focusing on preschool children aged 4-6 years from two educational institutions in Karangsari Village, Cirebon District. The study engaged 30 participants in Ecoprint activities, utilizing natural materials to create prints on paper and fabric. These activities were framed within the STEAM PjBL methodology, encompassing stages of Reflection, Research, Discovery, Application, and Communication to facilitate a comprehensive earning experience. Qualitative data, collected through interviews with educators and observations of the Ecoprint projects, were complemented by quantitative assessments of the children's development of creative thinking skills. This dual approach allowed for a rich, multifaceted analysis of the learning processes and outcomes. The creative thinking abilities of the participants were evaluated using a standardized rating scale aligned with criteria set forth by the Ministry of Education and Culture, tracking progress from initial baselines to post-intervention stages. The findings indicate a notable enhancement in creative thinking among the children, with a significant majority advancing from lower levels of creative dev. Children can select and sort the base color materials from the collected leaves. At this stage, the potential of STEAM PjBL, combined with hands-on, environmentally focused artistic activities like Ecoprint, is to enrich early childhood education by fostering creative, innovative thinking. The study's implications extend to curriculum development, advocating for including interdisciplinary, experiential learning strategies that blend scientific inquiry with artistic creativity. However, the research is limited by its scope and its participants' demographic and geographic characteristics. Future studies are recommended to explore the scalability of this approach and its long-term impacts across diverse educational settings, potentially offering valuable insights into the role of integrated STEAM education in nurturing holistic cognitive development in young learners.

Looking at Illocutionary Speech Acts between Lecturer and Students in Simultaneous Use of Different Online Learning Platforms

Lecturers, in the post-Covid-19 era, often used more than just one online platform to carry out the learning process. However, existing speech acts studies tend to focus on a dataset sourced from one online learning tool. There is a research gap on the illocutionary speech acts occurring in-class sessions where the lecturer and students used different learning tools at the same time for their lessons. Thus, this study aims to identify the most dominant illocutionary acts in a novel dataset comprised of lecturer-student interactions across (pre-activities) Zoom, (during and post-activities) Google Classroom, and WhatsApp throughout an entire semester (6 months) of first, third and fifth semesters EFL students of STBA Pontianak. This descriptive qualitative study tried to identify the five illocutionary speech acts according to Searle’s (1979) theory in the interactions between the lecturer and students across the three online learning platforms. Data on the participants’ utterances were collected via observation, recording, note-taking, and transcription. The data from 523 utterances were transcribed and carefully reduced to the required data based on the research question. Results showed four types of illocutionary speech acts occurred in different frequencies: assertive (114 utterances), directive (143 utterances), expressive (250 utterances), and commissive (16 utterances). The declarative type was not found, a pattern that was often present in previous studies, thus this study’s findings are in contrast to the majority of literature’s assertion that declarative is the type most dominant speech act used in the teaching-learning process. This research contributes a unique set of data and new considerations on the study of speech acts in online EFL classrooms.
