In recent years, laser-driven neutron sources have attracted attention for their applications such as nondestructive analysis and the production of medical radioisotopes. One of the efficient neutron production methods is the use of the 9Be(d, n)10B reaction on a beryllium target with deuterons accelerated by laser–plasma interactions, since this is an exothermic reaction. For efficient deuteron acceleration, we have developed a formation system for solid deuterium targets. A millimeter thick solid deuterium target can be formed with the system. Before the laser shot, the solid deuterium target in the laser chamber can be mechanically moved to the laser irradiation point. We have demonstrated deuteron acceleration by the LFEX laser, and a highly pure deuteron pulse with energies of up to 6.2 MeV was measured with a Thomson parabola ion spectrometer.

Published: March 2024

Mudanças técnicas e estruturais estão ocorrendo nos segmentos do agronegócio, inclusive na cadeia brasileira do milho, em decorrência da preocupação dos consumidores e das agências reguladoras por produtos considerados sustentáveis e socialmente corretos. O objetivo deste artigo foi identificar, na literatura, as práticas que indicam estas mudanças e contextualizá-las em relação à realidade da agricultura brasileira. Para tanto, pelo prisma dos estudos prospectivos, aplicou-se um questionário a 72 produtores rurais, e efetuaram-se 23 entrevistas com especialistas da cadeia de produção de milho. Os questionários envolveram produtores de milho que cultivam em 206 mil hectares, espalhados por 15 estados brasileiros. As respostas indicaram que os produtores já fazem rotação de 13 culturas, praticam o plantio direto e a segunda safra, usam produtos biológicos, fazem plantio de cobertura e a integração lavoura-pecuária. Concluiu-se que o Brasil está relativamente bem posicionado no que diz respeito às práticas agrícolas sustentáveis e à adoção de tecnologias. No entanto, ainda é preciso avançar quanto nas questões de rastreabilidade, combate ao desmatamento ilegal, estímulo à indústria ecológica e ao processamento sustentável, controle da contaminação dos lençóis freáticos, estímulo ao consumo sustentável e redução de perdas e desperdícios.

This study evaluated the yield performance of the tomato hybrids 'DS0060', 'Thaise' and 'Trucker' in the open field and environments protected by agricultural film (F) and polycarbonate panels (P) during the Amazonian summer. In the protected environment, the crops produced significantly higher yields than in the open field. 'Thaise' has high thermotolerance and is adaptable to a wide temperature range, making it the best-performing hybrid in environment F. Highest yields were found for 'Thaise' in environment F or P (86.2 and 92.5 t ha-1) together with 'DS0060' and 'Trucker' in environment F (75.3 and 88.2 t ha-1), demonstrating the high yield potential in the interim growing season (January to April). In the open field, the fruit color was paler, fruit flesh firmer and ripening index lower. In environment F, the fruits contained highest levels of soluble solids, lycopene and β-carotene. 'Thaise' contained higher concentrations of these two compounds. Under environment P, the yield of the evaluated tomato hybrids increased considerably, indicating it as a promising possibility for tomato cultivation in tropical regions. 'Thaíse' stood out with high yield and good quality traits, when grown in an F or P environment. These results prove the viability of tomato production as interim crop in tropical regions, under high rainfall and heat, as well as the difference protected environments make for tomato cultivation, in particular the choice of the most suitable cover material for the crop, to ensure high yields coupled with desirable quality properties.

Published: March 2024

This study aims to determine the role of e-trust in moderating the effect of e-service quality and e-satisfaction on the repurchase intention of Tokopedia's female consumers. This study uses a positive approach and partial least square analysis technique on samples of Tokopedia’s female customers, who have purchased fashion products within the past three months. The sampling method used in this study is purposive sampling, with a total of 100 respondents. First, we find that there is a positive influence of e-service quality on e-trust, e- satisfaction on e-trust and e-trust onrepurchase intention. Second, the mediating role of e-trust has proven statistically significant in predicting the influences of e-service quality and e-satisfaction on repurchase intentions of Tokopedia’s female cunsumers. The limitations of this research is the relatively small sample size and the data are collected from a single online shopping store. Conclusions from this study may not generalize well to the entire online shopping. Our findings imply that the consumer’s e-trust is possibly as antecedent of female cunsumers repurchase intention in online vendors.

Authors: Durand-Ruel Victoria Mouraux , Zarobell John
Published: March 2024

In recent years, emerging artists from the Global South have garnered substantial attention in the art market. This study seeks to examine the market value and ecosystem evolving around these emerging artists by analyzing the sales results of 51 artists between 2020 and 2022. This research aims to establish patterns linking unprecedented sales results with exhibition history and highlights the essential network required for these artists’ commercial success. The study reveals that the emergence of artists in the global art market results from a deliberate effort by a network of stakeholders. Our exhibition database led us to a group of 438 stakeholders who promote this sample of artists. By examining artists’ origins, backgrounds, and careers, this study provides context for analyzing the impact of artistic migration on artists’ visibility, the importance of being promoted by a variety of specialists, and the surge of African artists in the global art market since 2020. Our findings indicate that the structure of the art world has shifted toward a decentralized global art market characterized by a diverse range of actors and inputs dispersed globally. This diversification has disrupted traditional power structures in the art world, opening up new possibilities for emerging artists from the Global South, thereby contributing to a more equitable and inclusive art market.
Trehalose-induced metabolic responses in
basil (Ocimum basilicum) seedlings under salt treatment
Authors: Karamzehi Ramazan , Einali Alireza
Published: March 2024

Trehalose (Tre) is an osmoprotectant known to be an important player in regulating response to salinity. In this research, the effect of Tre foliar application on the growth rate, the content of photosynthetic pigments, accumulation of metabolites, and activity of antioxidant enzymes of basil seedlings under salt stress has been investigated. Basil seedlings were factorially treated twice a week with levels of 0, 25, 50, 100, and 150 mM NaCl and weekly with concentrations of 0 and 5 mM Tre for 4 weeks. Growth characteristics, the content of photosynthetic pigments including chlorophyll and carotenoid, and starch content decreased in response to salt stress, while the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the accumulation of metabolites including soluble sugars, proteins, amino acids, and proline increased. Tre treatment caused severe inhibition of plant growth, further reduction of photosynthetic pigments, and amount of soluble proteins during salinity stress. Also, starch, total protein, amino acids, and proline were hyperaccumulated in response to Tre. These results indicate that Tre not only does not reduce the detrimental effects of salinity in basil seedlings but also inhibits plant growth possibly by diverting carbon to other metabolic pathways.

In the collective memory of many European people, the Huns are perceived as one of the most violent gentes west of the Dniester, which might have committed many atrocities, acts of vandalism, and destructions in the territories they crossed. The image of these violent Huns influenced the archaeological research as well. One can often find mentions of a so-called Hunnic phase (Hunnenzeit), associated with levels of violent destruction in the SÃ¢ntana de Mures-Cernjachov settlements and disruption of their behaviours: periods without burials, a new chronological phase of buried treasures, etc. All these create the image of a so-called Katastrophenhorizont (chronological disaster horizon). The spatial distribution of its traces should indicate the ways and directions the Huns entered the region. This study tries to discuss both the written sources related to the arrival of the Huns in the geographical space west of the Dniester and the archaeological traces associated with the Huns in the area inhabited by the SMCK culture. Among the main conclusions of the study, one may observe that we cannot speak about an invasion of a large Hunnic army. Rather, we can identify traces of many small-group invasions that led to the decay of the Gothic confederation. From an archaeological standpoint, it must be underlined that the field research shows a high level of significant destruction in the archaeological sites, mainly in the settlements, west of the Dniester. The nature of the archaeological discoveries rather indicates that the local population had already left the settlements before their destruction.

La separación de plata y oro de minerales oxidados o sulfurosos se lleva a cabo mayormente mediante un proceso denominado disolución de valores, el cual produce una solución rica la cual se llama lixiviado. Una vez que se tiene esta solución se procesa para obtener la plata o el oro contenida en ella utilizando procedimientos ya estandarizados a gran escala que utilizan carbón activado y polvo de zinc, los cuales requieren el uso de áreas, procedimientos y materiales especiales para realizarse la separación denominada desorción. Esto ocasiona que el procedimiento sea más tardado, largo y complicado lo que ocasiona una tarea complicada para la obtención de plata y oro de minerales valiosos. Para solucionar esto, se pretende mejorar la recuperación de los metales valiosos del lixiviado mediante el uso de una celda electroquímica, para lo cual se prepararán los materiales y equipos requeridos, para utilizar una celda para electrodeposición, con la finalidad de recuperar metales valiosos contenidos en el lixiviado de minerales metálicos.  Se utilizará el proceso de electrodeposición para optimizar la recuperación de metales valiosos, en lugar de otros procedimientos que existen actualmente, como son la flotación y la dilución de valores con (NaCN-) cianuro de sodio. Se construirá una celda electrolítica de material plástico, el ánodo que se utilizará será de alambre de cobre y el cátodo una lámina rectangular de aluminio, ambos electrodos se sumergirán en la celda dentro de la solución “rica” del lixiviado que contiene oro y plata diluidos en forma iónica. El cianuro de sodio (NaCN-) funcionará como electrolito y se alimentará con una corriente eléctrica a una celda electrolítica mediante un cargador que proporciona una corriente de salida de 3.6 V ~ 600 mA y Corrientes de entrada de 120 V ~ 60 Hz o 0,1 A con lo que se logrará depositar en el ánodo los metales valiosos de oro y plata. Se realizarán varias corridas de electrodeposición en el diseño experimental, con la finalidad de lograr un procedimiento optimo en la recuperación de metales valiosos.

Tuz stresi altında makarnalık buğday çeşitlerinin çimlenme ve erken fide dönemini değerlendirmek amacıyla, farklı tuz (NaCI) konsantrasyonları (0, 3 ve 6 g L-1) ve 10 adet makarnalık buğday çeşidi (Altıntaş-95, Ç-1252, Dumlupınar, Eminbey, Kunduru-1149, Kızıltan-91, Mirzabey-2000, Soylu, Svevo, Türköz) ile bu araştırma yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada çimlenme ve fide gelişiminin bazı indeksleri hesaplanmış ve analiz edilmiştir. Tuz stresi çimlenme kapasitesini (ÇK) ve çimlenme indeksini (Çİ), önemli ölçüde azaltırken, stres indeksini (Sİ) artırmıştır. Fide büyümesi ve başlangıç canlılığı (İC) da tuz etkisiyle önemli ölçüde engellenmiştir. İncelenen özellikler bakımından, çeşitler arasında farklılıklar ortaya çıkmış olup Altıntaş-95 artan tuz dozlarından en az etkilenen çeşit olurken, Kızıltan-91 ve Svevo en çok etkilenen çeşitler olmuştur. Çeşitlere bağlı olarak, tuz stresi çimlenme kapasitesini azaltırken fide gelişimini de etkilemiştir. Araştırma sonucu elde edilen bulgulara göre ortamda bulunan tuzun, osmotik etkisi nedeniyle bitkilerin su alımını engelleyerek çimlenmeyi geciktirdiği ve yüksek tuz seviyesinin (6 g L-1 NaCl) bitkilerin hücresel yapılarına zarar verdiği bu nedenle de çimlenme ve fide gelişiminin etkilendiği gözlemlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda da buğday çeşitleri arasında belirgin bir ayrım yapma imkânı sağlayan ilk canlılık ve stres indeksinin, tuzluluğa karşı toleranslı bitki genotiplerini belirlemek için faydalı özellikler olduğu söylenebilir.

Şanlıurfa ili peyzaj alanlarındaki çam ağaçlarında son zamanlarda sürgün yanıklığı ve geriye doğru ölümler şeklinde hastalık belirtileri görülmüştür. Bölgede bu tür hastalık belirtisi gösteren ağaçların sayısı gittikçe artmaktadır. Tipik hastalık belirtisi gösteren ağaçlardan yapılan izolasyonlar sonucunda, PDA (Patates Dekstroz Agar) besi yerinde gelişen fungal izolatların koloni ve sporlarının morfolojik gözlemlere dayalı olarak hastalık etmeninin Alternaria spp.’a ait olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bölge izolatları arasından seçilen temsili izolatlarla yapılan yapay inokulasyon sonucu çam fidanları üzerinde doğal enfekteli çam ağaçlarında görülen belirtilere benzer belirtiler gözlenmiş olup, fungal etmen bu dokulardan yeniden izole edilmiştir. İzole edilen fungal etmenin morfolojik tanısı Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) gen bölgesi (ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS4) ve large subunit (LSU) gen bölgesi (NL1-NL4) çoğaltılıp dizilenmesi ile moleküler olarak da teyit edilmiştir. Gen bankasına kaydedilen temsili izolatın (ITS için erişim no: OR145842; LSU için erişim no; OR616592) sekans sonucu Alternaria alternata izolatı ile %99.9 oranında benzerlik göstermiştir. Elde edilen morfolojik ve moleküler çalışma sonuçları A. alternata’nın Türkiye’de yetişen çam ağaçlarında sürgün yanıklığı ve geriye doğru ölüm hastalığı etmeni olduğu ilk kez bu çalışma ile belirlenmiştir.

Over the past few decades, cardiovascular disease has emerged as the primary cause of death worldwide in both industrialized and developing nations. Early detection of heart problems and continued clinical monitoring can reduce death rates. However, because it takes more time and experience, it is not possible to accurately detect heart disorders in all cases and to have a specialist talk with a patient for 24 hours. We demonstrate how machine learning can be used to estimate an individual's risk of developing heart disease. This study presents data processing, which includes converting categorical columns and working with categorical variables. We outline the three primary stages of developing an application: gathering datasets, running logistic regression, and assessing the properties of the dataset. The random forest classifier technique is developed to diagnose cardiac problems more precisely. Data analysis is needed for this application since it is considered noteworthy. The random forest classifier algorithm, which improves the accuracy of research diagnosis, is next covered, along with the experiments and findings.
The Impact of Covid-19 in Liberia: A Case Study of Monrovia (January 2020-December 2023)
Authors: Wuo Kehnel, Jr. Dave , S. Flomo, Jr. Mogana
Published: March 2024

 Background:
In 130 years, there have been five pandemics related to coronavirus (Maital, 2020). An epidemic of mysterious pneumonia was characterized by dry cough, fever, and body fatigue in late December 2019(Wu et al., 2020). The situation posed additional risks and challenges to the populace, increasing physical illness (Kmetty, 2020). The spread of COVID-19 across Africa created a considerable impact ranging from economic cybertage, starvation, and educational setbacks (Webmaster, 2020). The COVID-19 pandemic occurred in Liberia five years after ebola and during the Resilient and Responsive Health Systems (RRHS) designed to support Liberia's national health workforce to improve health outcomes (Marsh et al., 2021).

 Methodology:
The research used a descriptive case study design to explain concepts, policies, and tools related to identified problems. Since the impact of COVID-19 reflects not only on survival but also on relatives, the research considered the population of Monrovia. Monrovia's current metro area population in 2023 is 1,678,000(Macrotrends, 2023). The study considered Liberia the main case, with Monrovia and Montserrado County as specific Sub-cases. The purposive sampling technique was used to ensure the representation of various socio-economic groups, including urban and rural areas and different regions within Monrovia. The research used a 95% CI and Slovins's formula to derive a sample size of 400. Questionnaires were used to collect field data. The data herein includes documentary analysis, interviews/surveys, and observations. The data was analyzed using SPSS and narratives of qualitative findings.

 Findings:
This data suggests that a large portion of the population has been affected by job loss or reduced employment opportunities due to the pandemic. Overall, the data reflects the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the employment status of individuals in Liberia.

 Recommendations:
The study proposes improvements to Liberia's public health sector, including better risk-benefit policies, salary increments, and training/deployment of healthcare professionals.
The Evolution of Photospheric Magnetic Fields at the Footpoints of Reconnected Structures in the Solar Atmosphere

Magnetic reconnection is believed to play an important role in the release and conversion of energy among magnetized plasma systems. So far, we have been unable to understand under what conditions magnetic reconnection can take place. Based on observations from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), we study 16 magnetic reconnection events, and each event has a clear X-type configuration consisting of two sets of atmospheric structures. We focus on 38 footpoints that are relevant to these structures and can be clearly determined. By using SDO/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager line-of-sight magnetograms, we track the field evolution of these footpoints. Prior to the occurrence of magnetic reconnection, the associated fields at the footpoints underwent convergence and shear motions, and thus became enhanced and complex. During the converging period, the rates of increase of the mean magnetic flux densities (MFDs) at these footpoints are 0.03–0.25 hr−1. While the unsigned mean MFDs are 70–300 G, magnetic reconnection in the solar atmosphere takes place. Subsequently, the photospheric fields of these footpoints diffuse and weaken, with rates of decrease of the MFDs from 0.03 to 0.18 hr−1. These results suggest that, due to the photospheric dynamical evolution at the footpoints, the footpoint MFDs increase from a small value to a large one, and the corresponding atmospheric magnetic fields become complicated and nonpotential; then reconnection happens and it releases the accumulated magnetic field energy. Our study supports the conjecture that magnetic reconnection releases free magnetic energy stored in the nonpotential fields.

In Mexico, there are six scientific collections of polychaetous annelids. The "Colección Poliquetológica" from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León houses one of the three most important collections of annelids in the country, based on a number of lots and number of type materials deposited, as well as geographical coverage.

A catalogue of type materials of polychaete annelids housed at the “Colección Poliquetológica” from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (México) is presented for the first time. The Collection contains 37 holotypes, 174 paratypes and one syntype. These type materials are grouped in 15 families, 35 genera and 54 species of marine worms. Types were described mostly from the Mexican waters, with a low number of types from Ecuador, El Salvador, Argentina, USA, Philippines, New Caledonia and Japan.
The ruin probability of a discrete risk model with unilateral linear dependent claims
Authors: Yuan Huifang , Jiang Tao , Xiao Min
Published: March 2024

This article focuses on analyzing the finite-time ruin probability within a specific class of discrete risk models. These models incorporate dependent claims, an interest rate component, and stationary noise terms exhibiting semi-heavy-tailed behavior. In this framework, the claim amount follows a unilateral linear dependent process with independent and identically distributed noise terms, while the discount factor is determined by both the interest rate and time. The finite-time ruin probability has been derived under insurance risk conditions resembling the gamma distribution.
