Published: January 2025

Black rot caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) has resulted in severe damage to cabbage yields worldwide. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an important gaseous signaling molecule, is involved in mediating plant defense responses to various adversity stresses. However, few studies have investigated how H2S enhances resistance mechanisms in plants under biotic stress. Therefore, in this experiment, we investigated the effects of exogenous H2S on the extent of plant-pathogen interactions, antioxidant mechanisms, plant pathogenesis, cellular integrity and accumulation of secondary metabolite under Xcc infested cabbage. Our study showed that Xcc inhibited the antioxidant properties and secondary metabolites synthesis of cabbage, led to significant disruption of cell wall and cell membrane integrity, which triggered severe plant diseases. The use of H2S effectively mitigated this inhibitory effect and the extent of damage, up-regulated the expression levels of genes involved in plant-pathogen interactions, stabilized the osmoregulatory system, improved the antioxidant capacity, promoted the GSH-ASA cycle, protected cellular integrity, mitigated the extent of morbidity and enhanced the rate of substance synthesis. Thus, H2S could improve the disease resistance of cabbage seedlings and relieved the negative effects of Xcc.
Gradient-Weighted Class Activation Mapping Based Deep Transfer Learning For Glaucoma Disease Prediction
Authors: Basith Z. Abdul , Ibrahim M. Sulthan
Published: January 2025

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease characterized by damage to optic nerve. Early detection and management are crucial to preserving vision, making prediction of glaucoma risk. To improve accurate prediction, Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapped Deep Transfer Learning (GWCAMDTL) model is developed. The main aim of the model is to enhance the accuracy of glaucoma prediction while minimizing time consumption. Retinal fundus images are collected from the dataset for accurate prediction in image acquisition phase. Deep transfer learning involves adapting a pre-trained deep learning model for performing glaucoma prediction. In proposed Deep transfer learning model, the Multilayer Perceptron classifier is used as pre-trained model for analyzing the given large number of training images. Then, new model is constructed along with its pre-trained model for disease prediction. Initially, layers in pre-trained model are usually frozen to preserve the learned features from the infected regions. Transferring information from previously learned results by the pre-trained mode to new tasks has the potential to significantly improve feature learning efficiency by applying the congruence correlation coefficient. Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping generates visual explanations for the predictions made by model. Fine-tuning layers is crucial part of transfer learning. During fine-tuning for glaucoma prediction, the model weights of certain layers are updated to better fit the specific characteristics of the new glaucoma dataset, leading to a reduction in both training and validation error. This approach improves the accuracy of glaucoma prediction by applying the strengths of the pre-trained model and adapting it to the clinical features of retinal fundus images. This process helps to make accurate predictions and extensively improves the F1-score. Experimental are conducted using various evaluation metrics. Results of GWCAMDTL achieve higher accuracy with reduced time as well as error compared to existing methods.

Authors: Guo Li , Li Ping , Li Shuying , Song Jianying , Wang Qiaoli , Tian Wanli
Published: January 2025

Background
Postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) is a common complication of intraoperative urinary catheterization. We conducted this study to compare the effects of acupoint injection and tramadol for the treatment of postoperative CRBD.
Methods
Ninety patients who underwent elective gynecological surgery with intraoperative urinary catheterization and spontaneously complained of CRBD during recovery in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) were randomized into three groups of 30 each. Group A received acupoint injections (Zusanli (ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Zhongji (CV 3), and Guanyuan (CV 4)), Group B received 1.5 mg/kg tramadol, while Group C received normal saline. The severity of CRBD was measured as none, mild, moderate, or severe; or recorded using visual analog scale (VAS) score ranging from 0 (no discomfort) to 10 (most severe discomfort). These measurements were reported at 0 (immediate treatment time), 0.5, 1, 2 and 6 h after treatment.
Results
The severity of CRBD was reduced in groups A and B compared to that in group C at 0.5, 1 and 2 h after treatment. The VAS score for CRBD was also lower in groups A and B compared to that in group C after treatment. Additionally, Groups A and B had a higher rate of effective therapy than group C at 0.5, 1 and 2 h after treatment. Group A had a higher rate of effective therapy than groups B and C at immediate treatment time. Group B had a higher incidence of nausea compared to Groups A and C; however, there were no differences observed regarding vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, or headache.
Conclusions
Acupoint injection was found to be equally effective as tramadol for treating postoperative CRBD following gynecological surgery. Acupoint injection could even take effect at immediate treatment time. Moreover, tramadol increased the incidence of nausea compared with acupoint injection.

A fundamental part of nursing is clinical skills. Clinical skill practice is essential in the curriculum of nursing students to enhance their skills. However, the COVID-19 pandemic event changed the traditional teaching methods of nursing educators in clinical skills. To ensure the continuity of the clinical learning process, flexible learning approaches emerged in nursing education courses,
replacing the conventional face-to-face method. This qualitative study aimed to explore the
experiences of nursing educators using any type of flexible learning method in teaching clinical skills in a public university in Malaysia that offered a nursing programme. A purposive sampling method was employed to recruit eight participants. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted through face-to-face or online interviews. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed four main themes: (a) integration of technology-enhanced learning methods in the teaching of clinical skills; (b) empowerment and efficacy through flexible learning methods; (c) overcoming hurdles to the implementation of flexible learning; and (d) institutional support and capacity building for effective flexible learning implementation. The integration of flexible learning methods has transformative potential to improve nursing education and better prepare students for clinical practice. Overcoming challenges and leveraging institutional support are critical for successful implementation and educational improvement.

The journey to becoming a healthcare professional is notoriously challenging, characterised by
intense pressure and significant stress throughout the educational process. Medical students confront
a demanding curriculum, complex clinical experiences and a constant need to achieve high academic
standards. This rigorous environment contributes to substantial anxiety and stress, making students
particularly vulnerable to declines in mental health, reduced academic performance and a diminished
quality of life. Recently, attention has been directed towards the mental health challenges faced by
medical students, given their potential impact on student well-being and patient care. This systematic
review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and meditation
techniques in alleviating stress and anxiety among medical students. It also sought to assess how
these interventions could enhance the overall mental and emotional well-being of students, thereby
improving their resilience, coping strategies and academic performance. The thematic analysis of
the included studies revealed that mindfulness and meditation practices significantly reduced stress
and anxiety levels among medical students. Furthermore, the interventions fostered improved
mental clarity, emotional balance and empathy, ultimately enhancing both personal well-being and
professional development. However, barriers such as time constraints, institutional pressures and
personal scepticism emerged as challenges to the widespread adoption of these practices. This review
suggests that incorporating MBIs and meditation into medical education curricula could create a
more supportive learning environment, ultimately benefiting both students and patients.

Traditional rural settlements in China have long been recognised for their unique cultural and ecological values. However, rapid urbanisation and rural revitalisation processes pose significant threats to the sustainability of these traditional living environments. This study aimed to develop an innovative multi-dimensional framework based on the SciBERT algorithm in order to evaluate the residential environment of traditional settlements in Northern Jiangxi, China. Drawing on theories from landscape ecology, cultural geography and sustainable development, the framework encompasses four key dimensions: ecological suitability, cultural continuity, liveability and sustainability. A set of quantitative and qualitative indicators was constructed under each dimension based on a comprehensive literature review. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was then employed to determine the relative weights of these indicators. Data were collected from interviews with 13 respondents and an analysis of 68 Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) articles. The proposed framework was applied to assess the residential environment of three representative traditional settlements in Northern Jiangxi. The results revealed the strengths and weaknesses of each settlement, providing valuable insights for targeted conservation and revitalisation strategies. This study contributes to urban planning research by offering a holistic and empirically validated approach to evaluating the multi-faceted residential environment of traditional settlements, which can inform both academic research and practical policymaking in the context of rural development.
Nanoscale characterization of chrysocolla, black chrysocolla and pseudomalachite from supergene copper deposits of Atacama Desert of northern Chile

Published: January 2025

We present the first textural and chemical characterization at nanometer scale of chrysocolla [(Cu2-xAlx)H2-xSi2O5(OH)4.nH2O], black chrysocolla (a Mn-rich variety of chrysocolla) and pseudomalachite [Cu5(PO4)2(OH)4] from two distinct supergene copper deposits from Atacama Desert of northern Chile. These minerals are the most common copper minerals found in the supergene deposits associated with copper porphyries from Atacama Desert. However, the lack of nanoscale morphological information prevents a deeper understanding of their formation process. Nanoscale characterization using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) imaging allows to address new founding on the structural states of chrysocolla, black chrysocolla and pseudomalachite offering valuable insights into their genesis. Chrysocolla and black chrysocolla are not single crystals but assemblages of Cu nanoparticles embedded in an Si-rich amorphous matrix. Scanning TEM (STEM) images reveal that chrysocolla consists of rounded Cu-rich nanoparticles embedded in an amorphous matrix while black chrysocolla consists of rounded Cu-rich nanoparticles with few needle-shaped Mn-rich particles, all embedded in an amorphous matrix. The richness in nanoparticles defines a layering that mimics the colloform texture observed in optical microscopy. In contrast, pseudomalachite is a massive polycrystalline mineral consisting of juxtaposition of large nanocrystal grains of ∼500 nm. The STEM-EELS (Electron Energy Loss Spectrometry) spectra show that copper in chrysocolla and black chrysocolla is in a reduced state. This suggest that chrysocolla and black chrysocolla forms under reducing conditions, probably just below the water table or, an alternative hypothesis, that water table oscillation allows cyclical precipitation of Cu0-rich nanoparticles and oxidized copper-rich silicate. Conversely, pseudomalachite crystallization requires oxidative conditions. The oxidation state variations from chrysocolla (Cu0) to pseudomalachite (Cu2+ 40 ), certainly happens during episodic switch of the water table linked to tectonic event or climatic changes. The findings have also implications for the U-Pb dating of supergene copper deposits since black chrysocolla and pseudomalachite can incorporate important U-content. The different structural states of the three minerals may explain their different behavior regarding U and Pb mobility and therefore the preservation of the U-Pb chronometric signal.
Discriminating ionic mobility between diffusivity and electrical conductivity experiments on Earth’s silicate materials
Authors: Yang Xiaozhi
Published: January 2025

Ionic diffusivity and electrical conductivity are two important transport properties of Earth’s silicate materials (melts and minerals), and are widely used to constrain many chemical and physical aspects of Earth’s interior. The two transport properties are both related to the mobility of ionic species, and a genetic link between them has long been assumed that implies similarity or comparability between their relevant transport nature and parameters. We examine the activation energy, anisotropy behaviors and diffusivity and conductivity values of three well-documented ionic species (Na, F and H) in a series of Earth’s typical silicate materials, and demonstrate that there are profound differences between the two transport properties. We evaluate the theory that is commonly used to link the two transport properties of relatively simple and ideal materials in physics and material sciences. It turns out that the theoretical model may not always be applicable to silicate materials in the Earth’s interior, because their compositions and the bonding and interactions between their constitutive species are both much more complicated. A further assessment of the experimental studies on the diffusivity and conductivity of silicate materials reveals critical differences in the samples and analytical methods. In diffusion experiments, the sample is heterogeneous in composition (for producing the measurable diffusion profile): chemical or isotopic potential gradients are exclusively present, and during the runs, there is net transfer of the charged species. In conduction experiments, the sample is usually homogeneous in composition: no potential gradients are involved, and there is no net transfer of the charged species (e.g., for analyses using impedance spectroscopy that is necessary to Earth’s silicate materials). The contrasting patterns of the transport behaviors and parameters between the diffusivity and electrical conductivity of Earth’s silicate materials, as experimentally observed, are caused more likely by the discrepancies involved with the theoretical basis and laboratory work. The ionic mobility of a charged species between diffusion and conduction experiments on a silicate sample is in fact strikingly different. We suggest that the experimentally yielded diffusivity and conductivity of Earth’s silicate materials cannot be simply compared or correlated with each other. The possible circumstances where a link between the two transport properties might be established are also briefly discussed.
Formation of nano-CdS solid solution: A mechanism for Cd enrichment in sphalerite
Authors: Yan Lei , Fan Yu , Huang Jun , Zuo Tong , Wang Fangyue , Zhou Taofa
Published: January 2025

The occurrence state and supernormal enrichment mechanism of dispersed elements in sphalerite are still controversial topics. Here, we combined laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to investigate the occurrence state and enrichment mechanism of cadmium (Cd) in Cd-rich sphalerite in the Jinding deposit. In the relatively Cd-poor areas (Cd content approximately 4000 ppm to 10,000 ppm), Cd was found to occur in the form of lattice substitution for Zn. In the Cd-rich areas (Cd content greater than 30,000 ppm), a new nano-scale occurrence state of Cd, nano-CdS solid solution, was discovered. This provides new nanoscale mineralogical evidences to refine the supernormal enrichment process of Cd in sphalerite. Reactivation and dynamic recrystallization induced by plastic deformation of sphalerite, and solid solution precipitation caused by cooling are important mechanisms for Cd enrichment. The coherent interface relationship between CdS and ZnS is crucial for the formation and stable existence of nano-CdS solid solution. The formation process of nano solid solution may be a potential mechanism for the supernormal enrichment of dispersed elements, which may provide new insights for explaining the complex distribution characteristics of dispersed elements at the micrometer scale.

Implementation of Spatial Constraints in Clustering Algorithms: A Study on Basic Infant Immunization in Lamongan District During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Purnama Mohammad Dian , Wahyudi Moh Jainur Miko
Published: January 2025

Algorithms for clustering data are important for data analysis, especially when finding patterns in big datasets. Nevertheless, the spatial limitations that are important in real-world contexts are generally ignored by the classic clustering approaches. Spatial variables have become more significant in the health industry, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, in terms of assessing population requirements and the allocation of healthcare resources. The purpose of this work is to investigate the use of spatial restrictions in clustering algorithms and to apply this method to COVID-19 immunization data from Lamongan District. The data analysis includes the 27 subdistricts of Lamongan District for the year 2021. Based on the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a major effect on baby immunization coverage, 2021 was chosen. The four basic baby immunization coverages—DPT-HB-Hib3, Polio 4, Measles, and BCG—are the variables that are used. Two methods are used: a neighborhood-like hierarchical clustering algorithm and spatial limitations. Distance-based spatial weights are better than proximity-based spatial weights when it comes to spatial constraints. This method is employed because an infant's coverage of all essential vaccines may be impacted by the spatial structure. We discovered that the fundamental baby immunization variable formed five clusters. It was discovered that cluster five had the highest immunization coverage among all the clusters. The three sub-districts that make up this cluster are Mantup, Kembangbahu, Tikung, Sarirejo, Deket, Glagah, and Karangbinangun.

Published: January 2025

Hydroponics involves cultivating plants using a water-based medium mixed with mineral nutrients, continuously supplied to the roots 24/7. Factors such as water reserve height, temperature, nutrient content, and pH are crucial considerations in hydroponic farming. Connectivity issues to the internet-based cloud system can disrupt the monitoring and control system. To ensure the effective operation of the hydroponic plant control and monitoring system, IoT edge computing within the Local Area Network is necessary as an extension of the cloud system. Periodically, the system will transmit calculation results from water quality sensors to the cloud-based system through IoT edge computing, enabling decision-making within the Local Area Network and subsequent transmission to Internet of Things devices within the hydroponic system for optimal plant growth.

Published: January 2025

Os agricultores familiares que utilizam a piscicultura como atividade comercial no Rio Grande do Sul (RS) padecem com a deficiente estrutura da cadeia produtiva e dessa forma, buscam mercados estáveis e seguros para comercializar seus produtos. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo visa analisar agroindústrias familiares de processamento de peixes no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil, identificando os gargalos e as potencialidades dos empreendimentos diante do mercado em que estão inseridos, além de categorizar seus canais de comercialização. O estudo apresenta a metodologia qualitativa e o meio de investigação foi a pesquisa de campo. Quatro agroindústrias foram analisadas, selecionadas por serem a totalidade de estabelecimentos formalizadas no que tange aos documentos e licenças perante o Município e o Estado. A análise foi realizada com auxílio da Matriz FOFA (Análise SWOT), enquanto os mercados foram categorizados e avaliados com base nas definições de mercados acessados por agricultores familiares. Conclui-se que os piscicultores familiares, antes enfrentando dificuldades na comercialização de seus produtos in natura, descobriram uma alternativa promissora ao vender seus peixes em mercados com circuitos curtos de comercialização. Essa estratégia contribui para o desenvolvimento regional, ao mesmo tempo que valoriza a diversidade de alimentos produzidos localmente. No entanto, ficou evidente que políticas públicas específicas são necessárias para estimular melhorias na atividade, proporcionando aos agricultores maior capacitação, através de acesso a recursos, informações e assistências de qualidade, de modo que potencializem suas atividades.
Memória edificada e as disputas por modelos de desenvolvimento em Santo Ângelo-RS
Authors: Lucca Laura Perin , Ferreira Laura Senna
Published: January 2025

Esta pesquisa de cunho documental busca demonstrar o impacto das disputas por modelos de desenvolvimento e suas contradições resultantes quando aplicados à memória coletiva, bem como a relação com a preservação, ou não, de bens edificados considerados memoráveis no município de Santo Ângelo-RS (Brasil). Com base no método materialista histórico dialético, apresenta-se o panorama das disputas patrimoniais na localidade e seus impactos na efetiva preservação dos bens edificados que são considerados memoráveis. Conforme indicado pelos dados da pesquisa, conclui-se que a proteção legislativa se provou ineficiente em assegurar a preservação dos bens edificados do território, de modo que o quadro geral da memória edificada municipal demonstra ser mais complexo do que o abarcado pelo processo institucional de patrimonialização. Assim, compreende-se que as contradições encontradas nos processos de patrimonialização local são resultantes da contraposição de modelos de desenvolvimento para a cidade, os quais expressam as dinâmicas do capital globalizador sobre o território estudado.

Este artigo visa analisar os aspectos socioambientais e a soberania alimentar no contexto da agricultura camponesa. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica com método bibliométrico e abordagem qualitativa, descritiva/exploratória. Realizou-se um inventário por meio de consulta eletrônica no Portal de Periódicos CAPES, nas bases de dados da Scopus e Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações, que constituem o estado da arte da referida temática. Nas estratégias de busca, utilizaram-se as palavras-chave "food sovereignty" e "peasant" na base Scopus e "peasant agriculture" e "food sovereignty" no Catálogo de Tese e Dissertação, resultando cento e onze (111) artigos, quatro (4) teses e quatro (4) dissertações, que após análise resultou em cinquenta e quatro artigos (54), quatro (4) teses e quatro (4) dissertações. Os resultados apontam que as questões socioambientais, soberania alimentar e agricultura camponesa são assuntos debatidos mundialmente por movimentos camponeses, acadêmicos, ONGs, ativistas, entre outros, e atualmente encontra-se em grandes desafios frente a modernização no campo. A modernização do campo não trouxe apenas benefícios, mas também consequências negativas ao meio ambiente, como perda da biodiversidade e alteração dos recursos naturais. O modelo de agricultura camponesa contribui para a agrobiodiversidade local e desempenha um papel importante na segurança alimentar. Os camponeses são protagonistas da agroecologia, e suas lutas somam-se a várias conquistas.

Testemunhos de instrumentos musicais islâmicos (séculos VIII-XIII), nos contextos arqueológicos de Portugal
Authors: Gomes Rosa Varela
Published: January 2025

Fragments of Muslim musical instruments have been found in archaeological excavations carried out in current Portuguese territory. However, they constitute a small number, if we compare them to other contemporary materials. This evidence is related to the fact that many were built with perishable materials, such as wood, skins, textiles, and bone. We also have some testimonies, which, as they are fragmentary, prevent their functional identification, and it is possible that others have not been duly recognised. The surviving evidences fall into the categories of aerophones, chordophones, idiophones, and membranophones or bimembranophones, having been identified in both urban and rural areas. The remains that have survived, with chronologies located between the 8th and 13th centuries, were produced in bone, shell, ceramic, or metal.
Música em pedra — imagens de música na escultura românica em Portugal
Authors: Sousa Luís Correia e
Published: January 2025

Since musical instruments from the Romanesque period are practically non-existent, iconographic sources are particularly important to get close to the musical universe of that time. Studying the images allows us to shed a little on the way they were played, the relative dimensions of the instru-ments, their relationship with other artistic expressions, such as dance, for example, or to confirm other relevant elements. It should be noted that for the sculptors of that period, the figuration of instruments was a new challenge, since in the High Middle Ages, musical images appeared almost exclusively in illuminated manuscripts. Thus, the Romanesque period is also a period of rehearsal and discovery in this area. About the Romanesque in the Peninsula and France, it can be said that some motifs circulated between building sites, certainly due to the circulation of craftsmen and master builders. In the Portu-guese case, there are no major iconographic programmes. Figurative themes represent a small part of the sculpture, mostly ornamental sculpture of a vegetal nature, present in modillions or capitals. In terms of the variety of musical instruments, chordophones predominate; aerophones are all signalling instruments, like oliphants. However, the constructive impetus recorded in our Romanesque favoured and encouraged the introduction of new aesthetic and iconic values, to which music was called upon to make its contribution, even as a mute testimony to a very rich musical culture.
False History, False Gods: The Connection between Power and Information in Dune (1965) and City of Illusions (1967)
Authors: Pastor Inês
Published: January 2025

The interest in understanding how information is controlled and circulated has recently increased exponentially, mostly due to the spread of disinformation from those in power(thoselooking to attain itor increase it).Seemingly widespread —though by no means arecent occurrence —during the 2016 American Presidential Campaign, the reliance on disinformation to steer public opinion has also characterized, for example,the rise of far-right political parties such as Chega(Portugal) and Vox(Spain)across Europeas well ashowthe conflicts in Ukraine and Gazaare presented on social media.It has become, thus, mandatory to rely on fact-checking platforms but, above all, on our own critical thinking and ability to scrutinize information and its sources.As a result, it seems relevant to also analyze this subject matter in literature, as a way of attempting to obtain some insight into how to navigate and mitigate the problem. This articleaims to examine how information, history and legend are weaponized by different entities to oppress those with less power in Frank Herbert’s Dune(1965) and Ursula K. Le Guin’s City of Illusions(1967), and alsoconsider the presence, in both novels, of elements of hope andliberation from oppression through the unveilingof truth, whatever it may be. To achieve this, key and representative moments in both novels are contemplated briefly and then compared,establishing asortof dialogue between Herbert and Le Guin’s respective imaginaria.

Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, published in 2017, was an international success onsocial media, emerging in a time of political disarray in theUnites States of America with Donald Trump’s election.The book tells the story of a successful woman, Evelyn Hugo, who perfectly representsthe self-made individual at the heart of the American Dream. Even if she has achieved worldwide fame and successby herself, this articlewill argue that this myth of the self-made man does not lead necessarily to a happy ending,following Evelyn’s own recounting of her story as one of profound grief and disenchantment. To deconstruct this myth, there will be an analysis of the different waysin which the character of EvelynHugo had to adapt to accomplish upward mobility, namely by agreeing to the objectification of her body, by erasing her ethnicity and sexual orientation, and by becoming someone immoral and self-serving, thus proving that this American myth does not pertain to everyone, nor does it imply and lead necessarily to happiness and personal fulfilment.

As a result, it was found that graphic medicine contributes to the bibliotherapeutic processes of identification, introjection, projection, catharsis, and introspection, serving both as a source of information about diseases and treatments and as a means of externalizing the experiences and lives of readers and patients undergoing some type of healing process. It is concluded that graphic medicine proves to be a valuable instrument that deserves to be further explored and highlighted in bibliotherapy practices, especially in clinical and institutional settings.
