Authors: Malabadi Ravindra B. , Kolkar Kiran P. , Chalannavar Raju K. , L Lavanya , Abdi Gholamreza
Published: May 2023

This review paper highlights about the Cannabis botany, problems of cross pollination, lack of Germplasm collection and absence of Genebank facilities have been discussed. Cannabis is a dioecious species, meaning that male and female flowers are borne on separate plants. The risk of cross-pollination in Cannabis is one of the unique major challenge in Cannabis industry. More research can be conducted to assess the risk of cross-pollination in Cannabis and policy should be created to mitigate that risk. Cannabis research work remains years behind than other crops because of the long legacy of prohibition and stigmatization. However, lack of public germplasm repositories remains an unresolved problem in the Cannabis industry. Therefore, accessible germplasm resources are crucial for long-term economic viability, preserving genetic diversity, breeding, innovation, and long-term sustainability of the Cannabis crop. Germplasm accessions are the building blocks for breeding of new cultivars. However, there are no public seed or Clonal gene banks for Medical Cannabis sativa (marijuana or drug type). On the other hand there are some public hemp collections. Despite its economic, medicinal, and societal importance, Medical Cannabis sativa (marijuana or drug type) is missing from the list of available species in public Genebanks and only exist as private collections. Most of the Cannabis varieties in the market today are hybrids (700 hybrid strains) with both Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica genetics. Hence there should be a public Cannabis Genebanks to play a fuller and more effective role in conservation, sustainable use, and exchange of Cannabis genetic resources.

Published: May 2023

Manufacturing companies have a direct impact on national governments and value addition at large. Manufacturing, like other sectors, has felt the effects of a variety of stakeholder engagement factors. Although many companies engage their stakeholders in day-to-day business activities, studies have reported a challenge for them in managing diverse operations in dispersed markets. An examination of the effect of stakeholder participation in planning on the performance of Kenyan alcohol manufacturing firms, namely East African Breweries Limited, Kenya Wine Agencies Limited, and Keroche, was undertaken. The study concentrated on the performance of these firms for five years (2017–2021). Guided by stakeholder theory, the study adopted the descriptive cross-sectional research design. The target population was 608 stakeholders (senior management, middle management, and lower management) working in various employment cadres. The stratified random sampling design was used to sample 241 respondents from various departments. Data was collected through questionnaires and analysed descriptively and inferentially. Descriptive statistics involved means, standard deviations, frequencies, and percentages, while inferential statistics involved Pearson correlation and simple regression analysis. The Shapiro-Wilk test of normality was conducted, and since the p-values were above 0.05, the data was normal. The study found that stakeholder participation had a significant effect on organizational performance in selected alcohol manufacturing entities (t = -6.958, p<0.05). The study therefore rejected the null hypothesis formulated. The study recommends frequent engagement of stakeholders at work by firm management to enhance performance.
Opening Pandora's box: reducing global circulation model uncertainty in Australian simulations of the carbon cycle

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Climate projections from global circulation models (GCMs), part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6), are often employed to study the impact of future climate on ecosystems. However, especially at regional scales, climate projections display large biases in key forcing variables such as temperature and precipitation. These biases have been identified as a major source of uncertainty in carbon cycle projections, hampering predictive capacity. In this study, we open the proverbial Pandora's box and peer under the lid of strategies to tackle climate model ensemble uncertainty. We employ a dynamic global vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS) and force it with raw output from CMIP6 to assess the uncertainty associated with the choice of climate forcing. We then test different methods to either bias-correct or calculate ensemble averages over the original forcing data to reduce the climate-driven uncertainty in the regional projection of the Australian carbon cycle. We find that all bias correction methods reduce the bias of continental averages of steady-state carbon variables. Bias correction can improve model carbon outputs, but carbon pools are insensitive to the type of bias correction method applied for both individual GCMs and the arithmetic ensemble average across all corrected models. None of the bias correction methods consistently improve the change in simulated carbon over time compared to the target dataset, highlighting the need to account for temporal properties in correction or ensemble-averaging methods. Multivariate bias correction methods tend to reduce the uncertainty more than univariate approaches, although the overall magnitude is similar. Even after correcting the bias in the meteorological forcing dataset, the simulated vegetation distribution presents different patterns when different GCMs are used to drive LPJ-GUESS. Additionally, we found that both the weighted ensemble-averaging and random forest approach reduce the bias in total ecosystem carbon to almost zero, clearly outperforming the arithmetic ensemble-averaging method. The random forest approach also produces the results closest to the target dataset for the change in the total carbon pool, seasonal carbon fluxes, emphasizing that machine learning approaches are promising tools for future studies. This highlights that, where possible, an arithmetic ensemble average should be avoided. However, potential target datasets that would facilitate the application of machine learning approaches, i.e., that cover both the spatial and temporal domain required to derive a robust informed ensemble average, are sparse for ecosystem variables.

Published: May 2023

Abstract. The availability of detailed surface runoff and river flow data across large geographic areas is needed for several scientific applications, such as refined freshwater environmental risk assessments. Some limiting factors in developing detailed river flow datasets over large spatial scales have been paucity of detailed input spatial data and challenges in processing of these data. The well-established USDA Curve Number (CN) method was applied for spatially distributed hydrologic processing to estimate surface runoff. Publicly available global datasets for hydrologic soil groups, land cover, and precipitation were spatially processed by applying the CN equations to create a global mean annual surface runoff grid of 50 meters. Runoff was spatially combined with global hydrology of catchments and rivers from publicly available datasets to estimate daily mean annual flow (MAF) across the globe. Estimated daily MAF were compared with measured gauge flow at rivers in several countries which showed good correlation (R2 of 0.76–0.98). These flow estimates can be used for diverse applications at local watersheds to larger regions across the globe. The two spatial data products of this project representing MAF at the global scale are publicly available for download at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.22694146 (Heisler, et al., 2023).
The sea level simulator v1.0: a model for integration of mean sea level change and sea level extremes into a joint probabilistic framework
Authors: Hieronymus Magnus
Published: May 2023

Abstract. A statistical model called the sea level simulator v1.0 is introduced. The model integrates mean sea level change and sea level extremes into a joint probabilistic framework that is useful for coastal spatial planning. Given a user-defined planning period, the model can estimate the flood risk as a function of height above the current mean sea level. These flood risk estimates are derived through Monte Carlo simulations of a very large number of planning periods. The derived flood risk is contingent on user-assigned probabilities for future greenhouse gas emission pathways, and the model is thus also useful for quantifying the dependence of flood risk on such pathways and their probabilities. Moreover, the simulator can quantify whether flood risk is dominated by sea level extremes or mean sea level rise and how this depends on the length of the planning period. The code, written in MATLAB, is parallelized and lightweight enough that it can be run on an ordinary PC. The code is easily adaptable to include new locations, new mean sea level projections and similar model developments. The flood risk estimates derived from the simulator are well suited to tackle adaptation and decision problems. Applications for construction of coastal protection and land development in coastal areas have been demonstrated in the past. The paper gives an in-depth technical description of the model. Example simulations from a Swedish nuclear site are also given, and the capabilities of the simulator are discussed. The main aim of the paper is to work as a technical reference for the first public release of the sea level simulator.
Impact of tides on calving patterns at Kronebreen, Svalbard – insights from three-dimensional ice dynamical modelling

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Understanding calving processes and their controls is of importance for reducing uncertainty in sea level rise estimates. The impact of tidal fluctuations and frontal melt on calving patterns has been researched through both modelling and observational studies but remains uncertain and may vary from glacier to glacier. In this study, we isolate various different impacts of tidal fluctuations on a glacier terminus to understand their influence on the timing of calving events in a model of Kronebreen, Svalbard, for the duration of 1 month. In addition, we impose a simplified frontal melt parameterisation onto the calving front in order to allow for an undercut to develop over the course of the simulations. We find that calving events show a tidal signal when there is a small or no undercut, but, after a critical point, undercut-driven calving becomes dominant and drowns out the tidal signal. However, the relationship is complex, and large calving events show a tidal signal even with a large modelled undercut. The modelled undercut sizes are then compared to observational profiles, showing that undercuts of up to ca. 25 m are plausible but with a more complex geometry being evident in observations than that captured in the model. These findings highlight the complex interactions occurring at the calving front of Kronebreen and suggest further observational data and modelling work is needed to fully understand the hierarchy of controls on calving.
Turbine scaling for offshore wind farms

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Large-scale exploitation of offshore wind energy is deemed essential to provide its expected share to electricity needs of the future. To achieve the same, turbine and farm-level optimizations play a significant role. Over the past few years, the growth in the size of turbines has massively contributed to the reduction in costs. However, growing turbine sizes come with challenges in rotor design, turbine installation, supply chain, etc. It is, therefore, important to understand how to size wind turbines when minimizing the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCoE) of an offshore wind farm. Hence, this study looks at how the rated power and rotor diameter of a turbine affect various turbine and farm-level metrics and uses this information in order to identify the key design drivers and how their impact changes with setup. A Multi-disciplinary Design Optimization and Analysis (MDAO) framework is used to capture the trade-offs between various disciplines of the offshore wind farm. A baseline case, for a typical setup in the North Sea, is defined where LCoE is minimized for a given farm power and area constraint with the IEA 15 MW reference turbine as a starting point. It is found that the global optimum design, for this baseline case, is a turbine with a rated power of 15 MW and a rotor diameter of 222 m. This is already close to the state-of-the-art designs observed in the industry and close enough to the starting design to justify the applied scaling. A sensitivity study is also performed that identifies the design drivers and quantifies the impact of model uncertainties, technology/cost developments, varying farm design conditions, and different farm constraints on the optimum turbine design. To give an example, certain scenarios, like a change in the wind regime or the removal of farm power constraint, result in a significant shift in the scale of the optimum design and/or the specific power of the optimum design. Redesigning the turbine for these scenarios is found to result in an LCoE benefit of the order of 1–2 % over the already optimized baseline. The work presented here gives insights to designers, project developers, and policy makers as to how their decision may impact the optimum turbine scale.

Dalam Perguruan Tinggi sudah sering sekali terdengar istilah KKN (Kuliah Kerja Nyata). KKN merupakan salah satu dari Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi yaitu pengabdian kepada masyarakat, oleh karena itu KKN inilah bentuk pengabdian universitas dan mahasiswa kepada masyarakat. Pelaksanaan program KKN memiliki peran penting dalam membantu pengembangan Indonesia. Program ini memberi kesempatan kepada mahasiswa untuk mengimplementasikan langsung ilmu yang telah didapatkan. Di mana proses transfer ilmu pengetahuan dapat terpenuhi karena adanya solusi mengalir dari mahasiswa dan sebagai umpan baliknya adalah adanya tantangan masuk dari masyarakat. Biasanya KKN dilaksanakan di desa, di mana para mahasiswa/i mengabdikan diri kepada masyarakat untuk membantu mereka dalam mengembangkan desa maupun SDM yang ada di desa tersebut. Namun pada tahun 2021 ini, Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Jakarta menyelenggarakan KKN secara online guna memutus rantai penyebaran COVID-19 karena tidak memungkiri bahwa saat ini kita semua masih berada dalam kondisi pandemi COVID-19. Di akhir tahun 2019, masyarakat dikejutkan dengan informasi wabah COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) yang melanda Kota Wuhan, China. Dalam waktu yang begitu cepat, virus tersebut menular hampir di seluruh dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Setiap hari publik disuguhkan informasi tentang COVID-19 melalui media massa, media sosial, ataupun media lainnya. Tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa berbagai terpaan informasi tersebut menuai kekhawatiran, kecemasan, kepanikan, bahkan berdampak pada sikap pesimisme. Kondisi yang demikian, tentu cukup beralasan dengan melihat efek ganda (multiplier effect) yang ditimbulkan oleh pandemi ini. Meski demikian, tidak berarti bahwa kehidupan telah “kiamat”. Dalam kondisi seperti ini sangatlah diperlukan pemikiran dan langkah strategis untuk membangun optimisme publik (kolektif).

Изданная в 2018 г. монография болгарского историка Владимира Станева, имеющая информационный и аналитический характер, посвящена главным событиям навязанного межсоюзнического контроля за соблюдением Болгарией военных ограничений Нёйиского мирного договора 1919 года. Болгарский исследователь, опираясь на широкую источниковую базу и обширный фактический материал, прослеживает обстоятельства становления военного контроля, решаемые задачи, видоизменение структуры и отклик на этот процесс в болгарском обществе. Большое внимание автор уделяет настойчивому сопротивлению болгарского руководства и военного командования воздействию органов военного контроля на национальные вооруженные силы. Стремление союзников путем наложения военных ограничений обеспечить себе военно-политические преимущества на долгосрочную перспективу не только на Балканах, но и в Европе, встретило упорное противодействие армии, администрации и простого народа Болгарии. Болгарский историк неоднократно подчеркивает значимость национальной армии как оплота государственности. По мнению Станева, межсоюзнический военный контроль сыграл неоднозначную роль во внутренней и внешнеполитической жизни Болгарии, а изучение его последствий еще не завершено.

Published: May 2023

В комплексе идей восточноевропейских мыслителей первой половины XX в. особое место занимала древняя история. С целью легитимации и формирования национальной идеологии румынского государства в интеллектуальную традицию широко вовлекались образы и идеи греко-римской античности и истории древнебалканских этносов. Статья рассматривает их влияние на румынскую национальную идею в рамках литературного, мистико-философского и историко-археологического наследия конца 1910-х – нач. 1940-х гг. Обращается внимание на связи данных мыслителей с румынским «Легионерским движением». Особый интерес представляют анализ развития идеи дакианства как идеи о румынской этнической идентичности, археологические изыскания В. Пырвана, а также рецепция мифа о Замолксисе, благодаря переосмыслениям Л. Благи и М. Элиаде воплотившегося в румынский национальный миф. Также в статье рассмотрено, как образы и мифы древности, отражённые в западноевропейской континентальной философии конца XIX – нач. XX вв., повлияли на межвоенную румынскую интеллектуальную традицию.

El dengue es el arbovirus más común en todo el mundo, con más de 128 países que muestran evidencia de transmisión endémica del dengue y casi 4 000 millones de personas que viven en áreas con riesgo de infección. La Organización Mundial de la Salud tiene un estimado de 96 millones de infecciones sintomáticas por año. En ese sentido, para el año 2003, el 44º Consejo Directivo de la OPS/OMS reconoció la Resolución CD44.R9, la cual comsitía en la promoción en los enfoques de los programas nacionales, introduciendo modelos de Estrategia de Gestión Integrada (EGI)-dengue, creando grupos técnicos relacionados en diferentes regiones. En ese, sentido, se desarrolló un estudio documental de fuentes primarias y secundarias de acceso libre de órganos oficiales de Perú para evaluar la disponibilidad digital de los objetivos de EGI-dengue, de acuerdo al cuestionario publicado por la OPS. Los resultados arrojaron un cumplimiento del 65,22% de los objetivos propuestos, lo cual es algo bajo tomando la importancia de esta enfermedad endémica. Los objetivos con mayor insatisfacción fueron la investigación operativa (70%), la atención al paciente (50%) y el manejo integrado de los vectores (50%); mientras que los objetivos más sastisfactorios fueron: la comunicación y promoción (80%), medioambiente, epidemiología y proceso generales con un 100% respectivamente. Estos valores porcentuales, permiten realizar ajustes con el fin mejorar estos aspectos menos trabajados, mirar sus debilidades y proponer nuevas acciones, maximizando las bondades del proceso de evaluación.

El dengue es una enfermedad infecciosa transmitida por vectores causada por los virus del dengue (DENV), que se transmite predominantemente por los mosquitos Aedes aegypti y Aedes albopictus. Los DENV son miembros del género Flavivirus de la familia Flaviviridae. Los cuatro serotipos del virus del dengue circulan en todo el mundo. El dengue es un desafío creciente de salud pública, y es endémico en los trópicos y subtrópicos, con un estimado de 3800 millones de personas infectadas. Por otra parte, la educación en salud es entendida como un proceso que capacita a los individuos para desarrollar una visión altamente crítica de sus condiciones de vida. Esta comprensión se refleja en el discurso de la educación para la salud en el ámbito escolar, cuyo eje central es desarrollar aprendizajes transformadores de actitudes y hábitos de vida para propiciar la reflexión sobre el sentido de responsabilidad por la salud. En este sentido, se desarrolló una investigación de acción y participación en 19 escolares distribuidos entre los grados de sexto de primaria a quinto de secundaria del Perú; con el objetivo de formar vigías de salud mediante el desarrollo y/o fortalecimiento de capacidades en la promoción de prácticas saludables frente al dengue. Los resultados fueron evaluados en dos categorías: características del dengue y el vector que lo transmite, y las prácticas saludables frente al dengue y acciones de prevención, en ambos casos, se notó un conocimiento mayor de los diferentes ítems después del postest, en muchos de ellos, los resultados llegaron a un 100%.
IMPACT OF AGE AS A SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLE ON HEALTH INSURANCE PRODUCTS
Authors:   University of Craiova, Romania, CAMPEANU Cătălin
Published: May 2023

The private health insurance has taken off over the recent years, boosted by the pandemic of COVID 19, setting the pace for other similar products, over a market severely dominated by MTPL. However, there were numerous factors influencing this growth, starting with state policies, insurance companies’ management along with welfare and socio-demographic factors. This paper addresses some of the later by focusing on age and notoriety, aiming to determine the possible correlation between socio-demographic variables such as age and health insurance products. The data used were provided by a recent study, conducted by the Institute of Financial Studies, an organization specialized on nonbanking financial system, gathered through a questionnaire, focused on a relevant group, considering all the necessary indicators regarding age, financial situation, area of living, studies, etc.
WOMEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Authors:   University of Craiova, Romania, ZĂTREANU Claudia-Marinela
Published: May 2023

Women entrepreneurship is an important area being globally recognized as one of the most important measures of economic growth and, implicitly, of decreasing the level of poverty. Incentivizing women to start their own business is essential for the development of women entrepreneurship and it’s also a strategic objective at European level, assumed by Romania as an EU member state. In order to have access to the same opportunities as men, women have to go beyond a series of obstacles, one of which is family responsibility, which often returns to their care. Therefore, this paper approaches a wide variety of themes that correspond to the present, such as motivation, obstacles encountered and also the advantages and disadvantages that come with the entrepreneurial profession, using as a research method the interviews with women entrepreneurs.
Diversification strategies for the resilience of small New England dairies

Dairy farmers face persistent market shocks that force creative diversifications to enhance their resilience. In the summer of 2021, corporate dairy companies canceled over 100 contracts with organic dairy farmers in New England, a market shock to the industry across the Northeast. To better understand how farmers cope with market shocks in small dairy production, we studied small-scale dairy farms from the perspective of social ecological resilience, exploring the role of diversification in small dairies in Vermont and New Hampshire: which strategies are most effective, what factors influence diversification, and the barriers to diversification. Data came from interviews with dairy farmers and advocates from multiple sectors involving ecological, economic, institutional, cultural, and personal domains. We highlight why, how, and with what support small-scale New England dairy farmers have adapted, supplemented, or transformed their dairy operations. Dairy farms exhibited high levels of diversification, motivated by a range of economic, ecological, and personal incentives. Predominant diversification pathways include (1) higher premiums from organic or directly marketed liquid milk, (2) value-added dairy products, (3) nondairy farm products, and (4) efficient and sustainable land management practices. Our findings suggest that what supports diversification is the transparent and open sharing of knowledge among a network of farmers, based on strong interpersonal relationships. Institutions such as government programs and dairy cooperatives frame diversification, which is best supported by funding flexibility and accessibility of information. Diversification has enabled greater resilience for dairy farmers, despite continued dairy market volatility in the Northeast. Without structural and institutional changes, dairy viability will continue to be in jeopardy, and the need for diversification will remain.

Fumonisin is a class 2B carcinogen, which can pollute many food varieties and has been proved to be carcinogenic and teratogenic. 258 pieces cereal and oil food samples were collected from 14 districts in Yantai city from farmers' homes, supermarkets and farmers' markets. The contamination level of fumonisins was detected by High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The pollution level of fumonisin was determined by CODEX STAN 193-1995 and EC No 1881/2006. We conducted quantitative risk assessment of fumonisins through the Daily intake (EDI) and Hazard Quotient (HQ) by point assessment method. Corn and its products were multiple polluted by FBs, and the pollution degree of corn flour and corn-based cake were higher than that of corn kernels. The food exposure risk of FBs in 2-6 years old was higher than that of standard population, urban standard population and rural standard population. The exposure risk of fumonisins in high consumption group was higher than that in general consumption group. The food exposure risk of corn with average content of fumonisins was basically at an acceptable level, but corn and its products with high FBs content caused greater risk for children aged 2-6 years old and adults with high corn consumption.

Liver and gut communicates with each other through metabolites and the gut-liver axis plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. Enterohepatic bile acid circulation is an important constitution of gut-liver axis. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR)，a bile acid mediated nuclear receptor, is promising therapeutic targets for the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). More and more studies have confirmed the effects of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP) on liver protection and lipid regulation. However, little attention has been paid to the role of ASP on the gut-liver axis, which is crucial to clarify how ASP play a role in liver protection after oral administration. In vivo and in vitro models of NAFLD were established to examine the effect of ASP on hepatic fat accumulation. Our results showed that ASP could alleviate liver fat accumulation. However, the expression of FXR was not changed when ASP directly acting on hepatocytes, while ASP could change the expression of FXR in liver and intestine of mice after oral administration. In addition, our results showed that ASP could promote the excretion of bile acids, thereby increasing cholesterol metabolism. Our research provided a new concept for the mechanism of ASP regulating liver lipid metabolism and exerting liver protection.
