Authors: Maystrenko Lyudmyla
Published: November 2022

The article considers the development of the emotional sphere of midshipmen of military higher educational institutions at the English classes. The levelof the emotional life of parents, hemispheric type of thinking, hereditary traits, temperament properties, features of information processing -are important factors in the development of emotional life. Innate capabilities largely determine the emotional sphere of a person's mental life. Their role in human life is obvious. Based on the analysis, we can conclude that the study of the emotional life of university youth is an important factor in the adaptation, and optimization of the educational process and at the English classes.Despite the importance and diversity of research, some aspects of the study of emotional life, and human intelligence remain relevant and hypothetical. In our opinion, the characterization of the heuristic potential of emotional intelligence, categorization, and differentiation of concepts, emotional culture in the conceptual field of emotional intelligence opens the way for further justification of the problem.The study of the emotional states of young people, their intellect is connected both with the complexity of issues in the conceptual range of this problem and with the need for further applied research

Authors: Johan Suwinto
Published: November 2022

The research aimed to determine the application of corporate governance principles for the Indonesian Sovereign Wealth Fund (ISWF) consisting of the Supervisory Board and the Board of Directors which had different functions. The research applied a normative juridical research method. The research concludes that the government needs to review the implementation of the principles of institutional corporate governance in the ISWF. The principles of corporate governance need to be rearranged, mainly the functions and powers of the Supervisory Board and the definition of the authority of the Board of Directors. It is considered that the research has its particular limitation as the discussion is based only on two laws and one corporate governance manual. It is suggested that further research have more development by comparing corporate governance in other countries.

Authors: Beatriz dos Santos Larêdo Glória , Barbara Monteiro Miranda Emili , Lima da Fonseca Natasha , Siqueira Monteiro Diully
Published: November 2022

Introdução: Por muitos anos a saúde bucal esteve à margem das políticas públicas de saúde no Brasil. Em 2004, com a criação da Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal, houve uma proposta de reorganização do cuidado em todos os níveis de atenção no âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde. Quando avalia-se a qualidade da atenção em populações específicas, a análise dos indicadores torna-se cada vez mais escassa, o que impacta diretamente no financiamento das equipes da atenção básica, já que com a ascensão do novo modelo de financiamento, o Previne Brasil (Portaria n° 2.979/2019), alteram-se algumas formas de repasse para os municípios. Objetivo: Investigar o cuidado odontológico durante a gravidez sob a ótica dos resultados do Previne Brasil, com recorte temporal dos três últimos quadrimestres do ano de 2020, no município de Belém, no Pará. Metodologia: Estudo de natureza descritiva baseado nos dados disponíveis para domínio público provenientes do Sistema de Informação da Atenção Básica. Estes dados foram tabulados no software Microsoft Excel®. A análise dos dados se deu com base no referencial teórico disponível na Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) e de documentos oficiais do Ministério da Saúde. Resultados: Belém possui 23,94% de cobertura de saúde bucal, com uma população que ultrapassou um milhão de habitantes. Quando se analisa a proporção de gestantes com atendimento odontológico realizado, Belém apresentou 4%, 3% e 5% respectivamente, em cada quadrimestre de 2020. Conclusões: Os dados revelam que para alcançar um nível satisfatório no acesso e oferta de serviços odontológicos no município amazônico, deve haver um fortalecimento e expansão das políticas públicas de saúde bucal, não excluindo a atenção às linhas de cuidado presentes na Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal, como as gestantes.

Introdução: A escola é um ambiente propício para o desenvolvimento de hábitos que podem ser aplicados por toda a vida. Nessa perspectiva, as atividades educativas com escolares podem contribuir significativamente na promoção de saúde bucal e na disseminação de bons hábitos de higiene oral, sendo alternativas capazes de instruir esses sujeitos eficientemente. Objetivo: Relatar a experiência de uma intervenção lúdica de caráter educativo realizada pela equipe de um projeto de extensão com uma turma de educação infantil em escola institucional de educação básica. Metodologia: A partir do conhecimento da faixa etária dos escolares, um jogo educativo foi desenvolvido e uma ação de caráter lúdico foi elaborada. A alimentação saudável foi a temática escolhida para ser trabalhada interdisciplinariamente à conscientização sobre o papel dos alimentos no desenvolvimento da cárie dentária e das orientações de higiene oral. Ao “brincar de fazer compras”, momento em que os alunos podiam escolher quais alimentos adquirir no jogo, foi possível discorrer sobre quais dessas escolhas alimentares não eram saudáveis e também orientar os participantes com macromodelo sobre a forma correta de escovação e uso do fio dental. Resultados: A interação das crianças com a atividade e com toda equipe de extensionistas foi bastante satisfatória. Foi possível verificar que os mesmos assimilaram bem os assuntos trabalhados ludicamente e foi demonstrado pela intervenção que os alunos conseguiram adquirir conhecimentos práticos sobre a saúde bucal no momento de orientação de higiene oral tanto no jogo quanto na simulação da escovação com macromodelo. Conclusões: Atividades lúdicas para escolares podem ser instrumentos capazes de transmitir conhecimentos em saúde bucal satisfatoriamente ao passo que sinalizam aspectos que devem ser desenvolvidos e incorporados no cotidiano dos indivíduos desde a mais tenra idade.

El presente escrito se acerca al pensamiento teológico de Ignacio Ellacuría desde su realidad histórica. Ellacuría pretende plantear una teología histórica capaz de responder a los postulados de la historicidad latinoamericana desde una teología encarnada que no sea ajena a los desafíos teológicos en tiempos como los nuestros. Una comprensión de la teología histórica deviene de la misma necesidad de la realidad que será elemento fundamental de una conciencia crítica y comprometida. El compromiso del creyente no puede encerrarse en un intimismo desencarnado del mundo y un cerrarse en una dimensión individualista de la salvación.

Con la reseña de este libro quisiera retomar una tradición que desde la primera década del presente siglo tiene nuestra revista Anales de Teología. Se trata de contribuir al diálogo ecuménico mediante la difusión de la autocomprensión del pentecostalismo presente en nuestra región. Movidos por una doble razón, la mayoría de los cristianos que no son católicos del Gran Concepción son pentecostales y porque no hay ecumenismo completo si no se integra, o al menos se intenta, este movimiento al diálogo ecuménico.
Cold-Induced RNA-Binding Protein and RNA-Binding Motif Protein 3: Two RNA Molecular Chaperones Closely Related to Reproductive Development and Reproductive System Diseases
Authors: Jin Yuji , Jiang Yong , Liu Jiahao , Wei Qinqin , Jin Yingji
Published: November 2022

Abstracts:

Cold-induced RNA-binding protein (CIRP) and RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) have recently been reported to be involved in cold stress in mammals. These proteins are expressed at low levels in various normal cells, tissues, and organs but can be upregulated upon stimulation by multiple stressors. Studies have shown that CIRP and RBM3 are multifunctional RNA molecular chaperones with different biological functions in various physiological and pathophysiological processes, such as reproductive development, the inflammatory response, the immune response, nerve injury regulation, and tumorigenesis. This paper reviews recent studies on the structure, localization and correlation of CIRP and RBM3 with reproductive development and reproductive system diseases.
Lipoprotein (a) Levels and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. A Systematic Review
and Meta-analysis

Published: November 2022

Background:

Several studies have linked high Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] concentrations to cardiovascular events, including the formation of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA). We review and meta-analyze existing evidence on the association of Lp(a) levels with AAA.

Methods:

Studies evaluating the link of Lp(a) with AAA, up to December 27th 2021, were identified by a systematic search of PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases. The results were qualitatively and quantitatively synthesized according to PRISMA guidelines. Results are presented as standardized mean differences (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results:

A total of 5,078 subjects (1,637 patients with AAA vs. 3,441 controls) from 11 studies were included
in the meta-analysis, with a mean age of 69.9 years and a male sex prevalence of 85.8%. Based on the qualitative synthesis, high Lp(a) concentrations are linked to abdominal aortic wall degradation and extracellular matrix disarrangement. Moreover, despite the considerable variability among races, high Lp(a) levels are related to
increased AAA risk, independently of race differences. Accordingly, patients with AAA displayed significantly
higher Lp(a) levels compared to controls (SMD: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.55-1.17, p<0.001). The outcome was not affected in a sensitivity analysis excluding three outlying studies (SMD: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.22-0.58, p<0.001).

Conclusion:

This meta-analysis indicates the association between high Lp(a) levels and the presence of AAA,
although existing literature presents high heterogeneity. Further studies are needed to standardize Lp(a) measurements and to conclude whether Lp(a) can be used as a sensitive biomarker of early presymptomatic AAA
diagnosis.
Evaluation of Vulnerability Factors for Developing Stress and Depression due to COVID-19 Spread and its Associated Lockdown
Authors: Alhusban Ahmed , Alzoubi Karem H. , Al-Azzam Sayer , Nuseir Khawla Q
Published: November 2022

Background:

COVID-19 is a pandemic that has been widespread throughout the world. The disease and the measures employed to contain its spread have a detrimental effect on the mental health of individuals. Countries across the world have applied variable combinations of quarantine and social distancing measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. This project aims at identifying the susceptible groups for the development of depression and stress due to COVID-19-associated containment measures. This evaluation will help in prioritizing efforts to ameliorate the detrimental effects of COVID-19 on psychological health.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted through an online survey that included questions on the demographics and COVID-19 experience. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was evaluated using the PHQ-9 survey, whereas stress levels were detected using the perceived stress scale (PSS). Data regarding demographics as well as exposure to COVID-19, working at home and the financial impact of the pandemic were collected.

Results:

Data were collected from 1541 participants from the MENA region. Depressive symptoms were detected in 54.2% of the participants, and the average stress score was 18.4±0.8. Adjusting for demographics and other variables, younger participants were more likely to report depressive symptoms and higher stress scores. Additionally, younger age, female gender, the coexistence of depressive symptoms, negative effects on monthly income, and ability to do work were found to be independent predictors of higher stress scores.

Conclusion:

Young individuals are more likely to develop depression symptoms and stress. Thus, there is a need for prompt measures to alleviate COVID-19-associated effects on this group.

Published: November 2022

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions in all aspects of daily functioning, from school and work to interactions with friends and family. The Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) is an interviewer-administered scale validated in the psychiatric sample with no previous study assessing its validity and reliability in a digital format. Thus, we aimed to analyse the psychometric properties of the digital version of the FAST and understand the implications of COVID-19 and restrictive measures on functioning.

Methods:

Data were collected using an online survey. The psychometric properties of the digital FAST were assessed by confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha, and discriminant functional by cluster analysis in a community sample.

Results:

Out of the total sample, 2,543 (84.1%) were female, and the mean (SD) age was 34.28 (12.46) years. The digital FAST retained the six factors structure observed in the original version, with Cronbach’s alpha above 0.9. In addition, we showed evidence of discriminant validity by differentiating three clusters of psychosocial functioning. Clinical and demographic differences between groups explained, in part, the heterogeneity of functioning, thus providing support for the construct validity of the instrument.

Conclusion:

The digital FAST is a simple and easy-to-understand instrument that provides a multidimensional assessment of functioning without the need for an interviewer. Furthermore, our findings may help to better understand the psychosocial implications of the pandemic and the importance of planning specific interventions to rehabilitee the affected group.
Internal Characteristics of Double-base Array
Authors: Yu Tao
Published: November 2022

One-dimensional double-base array is the most basic model of multi station passive positioning system. The study and analysis of this basic model can not
only help to improve the design performance of the positioning system, but also help
to improve the measurement accuracy of the positioning system. But so far, most of
the researches on passive positioning system only arrange the mathematical equations
from the perspective of solving the unknown quantity, without in-depth research on
the internal correlation between each parameter. In fact, the one-dimensional linear
array has many interesting inherent characteristics. Three intrinsic characteristics of
one-dimensional double-base arrays are studied and given. Firstly, four methods of
proving the midpoint direction finding solution on a single basis are described. Then,
the arithmetic characteristics between adjacent paths are given. On this basis, some
physical properties are briefly described. And then we can reveal the internal
correlation between the difference of the path difference and other motion parameters
as well as physical parameters. Finally, the median relationship among the three
arrival angles and among the three radial distances is analyzed.

Authors: Yu Tao
Published: November 2022

Passive Location Method Based on Phase Difference Measurement presents groundbreaking information for developing passive positioning technologies. The author has put forward a series of innovative solutions from the perspective of engineering application theory with the aim of giving a basic understanding of the application of unambiguous phase difference localization techniques for long-range passive detection.

On the basis of the existing linear solution of the double basis path difference positioning equation and the analysis of its intrinsic properties, this book starts from the study of the phase difference measurement method of the phase difference change rate, puts forward the concept of the differential function of the path difference per unit wavelength length and also discovers its jump law. It provides a possible way to solve the problem of unambiguous phase difference measurement. These results are of great significance to the development of passive localization techniques based on unambiguous phase difference measurement.

Key Features:

- Sequentially presents theoretical frameworks to build the readers knowledge for better understanding the topics

- Presents a variety of unique method for solving kinematic positioning parameters and Doppler signal parameters by using unambiguous phase difference measurement.

- Presents a variety of direction-finding and ranging methods based on short baseline array and using unambiguous phase difference measurement technology, and exhibits the method of constructing long baseline two-station direction finding and ranging with short baseline array

- Presents a variety of two-station passive positioning methods based on angle measurement which are beneficial to improve the positioning accuracy on the basis of studying the relationship between the phase difference and angle

- Presents the means to convert Doppler detection to the non-fuzzy phase difference measure, for the localization problem in which it is difficult to use the phase difference localization equation directly, since the accuracy of the phase difference measurement is better than that of the Doppler frequency difference

- Presents a variety of new positioning methods and several novel concepts while demonstrating the theoretical exploration of passive location problem based on unambiguous phase difference measurement

This reference is a resource for scholars, engineers and technicians involved in radio positioning research and the improvement of radar, satellite navigation systems, unmanned systems and Internet of Things infrastructure.
The Effect of Hermetia illucens larvae Formulation as Immunostimulant on Non-Specific Immune Response of Cyprinus carpio Challenged by Aeromonas salmonicida
Authors: Mauludia Farida , Maftuch Maftuch , Nurin Febi Nadhila , Sebastian Andhang
Published: November 2022

Cyprinus carpio is one type of freshwater fish. In Indonesia, carp outbreaks in carp since June 2002 have raised concerns, especially for fish farmers. One of the factors causing the outbreak of this disease is the bacteria Aeromonas salmonicida, which can cause fish to get sick and even die. Immunostimulants with natural ingredients that are environmentally friendly and can be used to increase the immune response of fish, one of which is maggot. The data analysis used in this study was a simple completely randomized design (CRD) with 6 treatments difference in the dose of maggot as an immunostimulant (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) and three replications. The independent variable is the difference in the dose of maggot as an immunostimulant. The dependent variables include survival rate, total leucocytes, differential leukocytes, and water quality (pH, temperature, and DO). The FT-IR test results obtained that the best compound content in maggot flour is flavonoid compounds where these compounds can increase immune response. So, it is proven by phytochemical tests with positive maggot flour containing flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids. In total erythrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, total leukocytes, and differential leukocytes showed the best immune response in treatment C with a dose of 75% maggot.

Pathways to Usage Intention of Mobile Health Apps among Hypertensive Patients: A Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Sun Ting , Zhao Huanhuan , Ding Zenghui , Xie Hui , Chen Xiaoning , Wang Yumeng , Li Yibing , Xu Xuejie , Ma Zuchang
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Previous usage intention models have focused on the net effect of a single factor based on variance, such as the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model (UTAUT). However, the intention to use digital and mobile health services is a complex behavioral decision influenced by numerous factors. The assumption of uniform symmetry between independent and dependent variables in the existing literature limits consideration of promotion pathways. Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA)is capable of the formation of new theoretical hypotheses based on the original theoretical framework, constituting a multiple causal combination, so as to examine whether several different combinations of conditional variables may lead to the same outcome.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore the combination of different conditional variables resulting in high usage intention of mobile health apps among individuals with hypertension in China.

METHODS

The UTAUT model was taken as the theoretical framework, and three new variances (health belief, time preference, and compliance of hypertensive patients) were also added to form configurations of high usage intention. The study was conducted in August 2022, and 98 middle-aged and elderly hypertensive individuals without diabetes were included. Based on continuous outcome variables, a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was used to analyze the data.

RESULTS

Four different configurations for the pathway of high usage intention were generated. The results showed that perceived severity of disease, behavioral cues, and performance expectancy appeared in all four configurations. Perceived barriers, social influence, and compliance of hypertensive patients were the core conditions, but under certain combination of influencing factors, high usage intention could be achieved without one of these core conditions. The solution consistency and solution coverage were 0.93 and 0.36, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

This study explores a novel approach that integrates factors of technology acceptance and the promotion of health behaviour change into a configuration theoretical framework. The findings suggest that when formulating intervention approaches, medical and health departments should consider that the path of usage intention is not a one-way system; instead, multiple pathways can lead to high usage intention.

Politeness strategies in R. K. Narayan’s ‘An Astrologer’s Day’: A discourse analysis perspective
Authors: Kumar Dr. Pradeep
Published: November 2022

Politeness is a linguistic phenomenon in which the participants, who are involved in a dialogue, use different politeness strategies in order to get the desired result. Sometimes, they want to save the face, the public self image, of their counterparts, and sometimes they want to take advantages with the use of some specific politeness strategies. Most of time, the face gets threaten by some verbal or non-verbal acts and it can be done deliberately to achieve some goal or it is done by mistake for some or other reasons. If one wants to save the face and wish to build a healthy social relationship, he uses politeness strategies accordingly. The present paper will try to explore this feature of politeness in the short story “An Astrologer’s Day”. It is the first story from the collection An Astrologer’s Day and Other Stories by R. K. Narayan.
Management of Lines during Pandemics: Using Queuing Theory
Authors: R Aarthi , R Sumitha
Published: November 2022

Abstract: In order to reduce the transmission of the viral disease in the coronavirus era, sustained social isolation measures have been required. To enforce social distance protocols, healthcare facilities are limiting the size of their working team and conducting their organisations on a shift-based schedule. The potential for creating waiting lines at service delivery sites is built into social distance protocol. Many countries' healthcare facilities are already overrun with patients seeking treatment for mild to serious illnesses on a regular basis. The already strained health systems are now under additional strain due to COVID-19. Despite an increase in visits, precautions for social distance must be taken. It is abbreviated to provide quick service, which is essential for patients visiting hospitals for treatment. Delivery, a vital requirement for patients visiting hospitals for medical care, is sped up. In most healthcare facilities, particularly in Ghana, waiting lines have become a typical occurrence and a barrier to providing healthcare. In addition to forfeiting financial gains, delays and subpar medical care may result in fatalities. In order to minimise the effects of COVID-19 and simultaneously cover capacity to fulfil the increased demands for health care delivery, units are tasked with managing staff schedules effectively. Therefore, making an effort to cut down on the amount of time needed to wait for medical attention is essential. Using query theory, we analyse the queue condition at a case Outpatient Department (OPD) in this work and provide suggestions for queue management. The research was carried out on May 2020. We also provide a method for calculating the ideal number of service windows needed to cut down on patient wait times. Additionally, a numerical analysis using pertinent equations from queuing theory is provided for the case department's queuing condition.

In the bid to enhance human health and secure food safety as well as public health enlightenment to food, there is the need to evaluate the Nutritional quality of Kuli-kuli from melon seeds. Kuli-kuli which is majorly produced from groundnut is one of the major snacks consumed by most Nigerians especially in the North.The use of melon seeds in the production of Kuli-kuli is not known. Therefore, this research work was carriedout to produce and evaluate the nutrient of Kuli-kuli produced from Melon seeds. Sensory evaluation showed that the Kuli-kuli produced from melon seeds varied in appearance, aroma, texture, taste, and acceptability.

Published: November 2022

Study objective Since, OSA affects various parts of the body, there has
been little interest about the effect of OSA on voice. The objective of
this study was to evaluate the risk of benign vocal fold lesions (BVFL)
in OSA patients Methods This retrospective cohort study used data from
the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database. The study group
was defined as the group diagnosed with OSA between 2008 and 2011.
Non-OSA groups were selected based on propensity score matching.
Incidence of BVFL among participants during the follow-up was analyzed.
Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were performed to evaluate
the association between OSA and incident BVFL. Results The HR value of
the OSA group calculated by considering eight variables indicates that
the risk of developing BVFL is 79% higher than that of the control
group. Further, among OSA patients, patients with a history of OP had a
35% lower risk of developing BVFL. The relationships between BVFL and
seven individual variables considered were as follows: 1) For age, HR
for the 40-59 years group was 1.20 (95%CI, 1.09-1.32). 2) For sex, the
HR in the female group was 1.22 (95%CI, 1.10-1.35). 3) For residential
areas, the HR values for “Seoul” 1.39(95%CI, 1.23-1.59). 4) In the
high economic status group, the HR was 1.10 (95%CI, 1.01-1.21).
Conclusions and Relevance This observational study indicated that OSA is
associated with an increased incidence of BVFL. The incidence of BVFL
increased with older age, female sex, and high SES.
EFFECTS OF FOREST FRAGMENTATION AND FUNCTIONAL LOSS ON BIRDS IN THE BRAZILIAN ATLANTIC FOREST
Authors: Esclarski Priscilla , Zawadzki Claudio
Published: November 2022

Abstract: Aim: Severe anthropic actions in the landscape are, currently,
the main cause of threat to species conservation. The Brazilian Atlantic
Forest is priority focus for conservation, due to the high degree of
endemism and the pressures suffered since colonization. Despite the
effort employed in studies on the impact of forest fragmentation on the
fauna, understanding its effects on functional diversity is still
limited. Considering that forest fragmentation it affects each organism
in a different way, the relationships between species and with the
environment are affected also, including human communities. So, this
work aimed to identify emerging fragilities of the transformations on
the biological systems through the modifications of the landscapes, on
the avifauna of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Location: Brazilian
Atlantic Forest. Methods: The purpose of the research was achieved
through the analysis of the species data available on the database GBIF,
with the calculation of functional diversity (FD) for the Brazilian
Atlantic Forest and models of species extinction included in global red
list (IUCN). Results: The high values of functional diversity are
concentrated in the Brazilian Southeast region, coinciding with the
location of the largest and most connected Conservation Units and of
lesser intensity of the forest fragmentation process. However, the
functional loss caused by the extinction of vulnerable species is
distributed in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Evidencing that the
functional diversity of birds presents great spatial clustering, while
functional vulnerability is widespread throughout the biome. Main
conclusions: The results demonstrate that forest fragmentation acts as
an ecological filter, directly affecting habitat specialist species and
reducing the functional diversity in forest communities. Key words:
forest birds, functional traits, conservations, landscape analysis,

Published: November 2022

Background: Previous inconsistent evidence on effects of green
space on the development of allergic rhinitis could be explained by the
season of exposure. We explored whether the season and timing of
exposure to green space play a role in the development of allergic
rhinitis during the first 27 years of life. Methods: In a
longitudinal study of 2568 participants from the Espoo Cohort Study,
green space was assessed using the mean Normalized Difference Vegetation
Index (NDVI) within 300 m of the participant’s residence during
pregnancy and the first two years after birth during spring and summer
seasons. We applied Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate
adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI)
for the associations between cumulative exposure to NDVI (1-unit
increase) and allergic rhinitis. Results: Early-life exposure
to abundant vegetation during the spring was associated with an
increased risk of allergic rhinitis at 12 years of age [aHR (95% CI)
= 1.726 (1.078; 2.765)] and 27 years of age [1.703 (1.139;
2.545)]. However, abundant vegetation during the summer was associated
with a decreased risk of allergic rhinitis at 12 years of age [0.754
(0.585; 0.972)] and 27 years of age [0.801 (0.649; 0.989)].
Perinatal exposure to green spaces had no effect on allergic rhinitis.
Conclusions: Green space has opposite effects on the
development of allergic rhinitis in the spring and summer: early-life
exposure to green spaces during the spring increases the risk of
developing allergic rhinitis, whereas exposure to greenness in the
summer decreases this risk.
Polar biocenosis cumulative response to environmental stressors reveals who benefits from marine ice loss
Authors: Szeligowska Marlena , Moreno Bernabe
Published: November 2022

Marine ice is retreating in many sectors of Earth’s polar and subpolar
regions. The rates are unprecedented, generating great concern in both
scientific and public communities. Despite the expected serious
implications, we lack a comprehensive understanding of how ice loss and
related processes control marine biota and interactions at different
spatiotemporal scales under multiple environmental stressors and drivers
of change. We systematically review existing knowledge on how the losses
of ice shelves, sea ice, and glaciers affect polar marine biocenosis. We
include in situ, remote sensing, and modelling studies on sea ice biota,
phyto- and zooplankton, fish, seabirds, phyto- and zoobenthos and marine
mammals, covering a time span of three decades (1991-2022). We apply a
qualitative ecosystem‐based risk assessment to assess the individual and
cumulative response of ecosystem components and related ecosystem
services. The most threats and opportunities are expected to manifest in
the shallow coastal zones. They include loss of ice habitat, water
column darkening due to sediment input with meltwater, increased
sedimentation rates, and mechanical damage due to ice scouring, but also
gain of marine habitat, lightening of the water column and nutrient
input with meltwater. The cumulative score of all the stressors shows
that marine ice loss will lead to autotroph-dominated polar marine
systems with detrimental effects on secondary producers, i.e.
zooplankton and zoobenthos, and sea ice-obligate species. Although
similar stressors are recognised for polar and subpolar regions, some
processes may differ in magnitude. This overview aims to provide
summarised knowledge to inform science-based solutions for conservation
and climate mitigation actions.
