Morte celular programada media a resistência de Eucalipto ao inseto galhador Leptocybe invasa
Authors:   , Rocha João Pedro Laurindo
Published: February 2024

O gênero Eucalyptus L'Hér. têm sido a principal escolha para as florestas plantadas devido à sua elevada produtividade, ao seu rápido crescimento e adaptabilidade. Registre-se, que, com as futuras e esperadas mudanças climáticas, regimes alterados de temperatura e precipitação irão aumentar a frequência e a intensidade de secas, fator que pode limitar a produtividade dessa cultura. Em adição, outro fator limitante no cultivo de eucalipto são as perdas ocasionadas pelo inseto galhador Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). Sabe-se também que a presença do inseto L. invasa causa alterações hormonais em híbridos de E. tereticornis x E. camaldulensis, no período entre 24 e 96 horas após o ataque. Ainda, no clone resistente a esse inseto, ocorre um aumento nos níveis de aminoácidos precursores tanto do processo de sinalização responsiva, quanto de mecanismos associados a morte celular programada. Neste contexto, este trabalho investigou as alterações anatômicas e os mecanismos envolvidos na sinalização hormonal e no processo de morte celular programa de tecidos de plantas de eucalipto após ataque do inseto galhador L. invasa. Foram utilizados dois clones híbridos de E. tereticornis Sm. x E. camaldulensis Dehnh., um susceptível e outro com menor susceptibilidade (resistente) à L. inavasa. As características anatômicas, trocas gasosas e a expressão de genes relacionados com sinalização hormonal e morte celular programada foram avaliadas. O clone resistente quando infestado aumentou a espessura da parede celular realizando o isolamento das células que possivelmente sofrerão morte celular programada e, em adição, acumulou compostos fenólicos nas células saudáveis que se encontram próximas a região atacada pelo inseto. Ambos os clones, após 24 horas de infestação, sofreram reduções na taxa de transpiração e na concentração intercelular de CO2. Após 96 horas, os mesmos clones sofreram reduções na taxa de assimilação de CO2 e transpiração. Quando infestado, o clone resistente apresentou maiores expressões de PAD4 e ERS2, genes associados com AS e ET, respectivamente e, maiores expressões de NAC1 que é um gene envolvido com morte celular programada. Tomados em conjunto, os resultados aqui obtidos indicam que uma vez atacado pelo inseto L. invasa, nas primeiras 24 horas, o clone resistente aumenta a espessura da parede celular das células ao redor da região atacada, onde a morte celular programada se inicia. Com efeito, 96 horas após a infestação, o clone resistente acumula compostos fenólicos nas células ao redor dessa região atacada impedindo que as mesmas sofram também uma morte celular programada. Em síntese, o presente trabalho apresenta um potencial mecanismo capaz de explicar, ainda que parcialmente, a tolerância diferencial à L. invasa em clones de Eucalyptus. Palavras-chave: Anatomia. Compostos Secundários. Expressão Gênica. Morte Celular Programada.

Introduction: Evidence suggests that masturbation, genital stimulation, body awareness and movement, pelvic floor exercises, depression, anxiety, positive and negative feelings, personality type, emotional and overall well-being and emotional intelligence have been studied in association with female orgasm through the years. Additionally, healthcare providers of sexual health and most women lack information regarding sexual satisfaction and reaching orgasm. Few studies have addressed this issue. Aim: To systematically study the effect of social, behavioral, and psychological factors on female orgasm. Methods: An extensive search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Google Scholar and Scopus, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Statement (PRISMA) guidelines, for relevant articles published between June 2002 and June 2022. Studies in languages other than English were excluded. The following Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms were used: female, orgasm, psychological, behavioral, social, sexual. Inclusion criteria concerned studies that sampled adult healthy women, used quantitative methodology and explored factors influencing sexual satisfaction. Results: Out of 531 studies, forty-five were further screened. A total of twenty-one studies were reviewed, most of which were conducted in the USA, Portugal and the United Kingdom. They were followed by Switzerland, Iran, Brazil, Sweden, Canada, Hungary and the Netherlands. Four major themes influencing female sexual satisfaction emerged from the synthesis: psychological disorders, psychological background, genital stimulation, body awareness and movement.

In this study, we test the association of academic identification (AI) and trait anxiety (TA) with early academic dropout intentions (EADI). Additionally, we test the impact of the interaction between AI and TA, while controlling for socio-demographic covariates specific to the participants, over EADI (i.e., gender, parents` education background, and educational expectancies). Our sample consisted of 439 first-year university students. We used the social identification theoretical background and results show that AI is associated with low scores of EADI. Still, the high trait anxiety context in which students find themselves in their first year is a risk factor, when AI is low or average. Results also show gender differences (i.e., men have a higher risk of EADI, compared to women). Results highlight the need to invest more in the development of AI to counter and thwart the risk of emphasizing AT for young people.

Authors: Mwambela Able
Published: February 2024

Human resources play a vital role in achieving organisational performance. A study on 169 profit-making organisations in Zambia examined the impact of different Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) components on performance. A quantitative approach was used, and the questionnaire was divided into three parts. The first part collected demographic data, the second part collected information about SHRM components such as Incentives and Rewards, Formal Training System, Recruitment and Selection, Formal Performance Appraisal, Career Development, Internal Career Opportunities, and Organization Development, and the last part collected information about organisational performance. A stratified random sample of 169 organisations’ managers was studied. According to the results, managers highly recommended Incentives, Rewards, recruitment, and Selection to achieve excellence. Formal Performance Appraisal received moderate evaluation, while Career Development received the least. The study concluded that SHRM components affect organisational performance regarding revenue growth rate, return on equity, return on assets, and profitability (p < 0.01). The study recommended aligning the SHRM strategy with other activities to improve performance, focusing on recruitment. Integrating HR practices with overall strategies can bring numerous benefits to organisations. By aligning these two critical components, companies can ensure that their human resources are being utilised effectively and efficiently. This can lead to improved productivity, increased employee engagement, and greater success. Therefore, it is important for organisations to carefully consider the advantages of integrating HR practices with their overall strategies and operations.

Okra is an important vegetable crop with high nutritional and economic value. Various approaches have been attempted to increase its production, including foliar fertilisers. This study aims to determine the optimal time to apply foliar fertiliser in a day to improve the final yield in Abelmoschus esculentus L. var. Torpedo and evaluate okra’s growth and yield responses by integrating foliar fertiliser as supplementary fertiliser with granule fertiliser in a controlled environment. The study was conducted in a rain shelter under a randomised complete block design with 3 blocks comprising 3 replications within each block. The treatments involved a combination of foliar and granule application at different timings: sunrise, midday, and dusk, and solely granule fertiliser at labelled recommended rates. The control group was treated with only granule fertiliser at the same rate as the combined foliar and granule application. The study found that the application of foliar fertiliser during dusk (6–7 p.m.) showed a higher trend of potential yield, which revealed the potential of dusk foliar fertiliser application timing as the optimal timing for foliar fertilisation. The study also demonstrated that incorporating liquid foliar fertiliser with granular fertiliser can enhance nutrient uptake and promote plant growth, leading to a more sustainable farming practice by reducing inorganic soil granule fertilisers. The potential yield under the combined fertiliser treatments was 5% to 20% higher when compared to experiment control while comparable to the conventional fertiliser application treatment, despite using 45% less nitrogen. Therefore, the study suggests that farmers integrate foliar and soil fertilisation methods to achieve optimal crop yield production and promote sustainable farming.
In Silico Optimization of DNA Codons in Genes Encoded by Various Variants of Ebola Virus
Authors: Mathuria Anshu , Ahmed Mehak , Mani Indra
Published: February 2024

Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a serious and often deadly illness that affects primates, especially humans. Ebola virus disease (EVD) is very deadly and has no widespread treatment, making it one of the most lethal zoonotic infections. The viral genome is approximately 19 kb in length, non-segmented, linear, and negative single-stranded (−SS) RNA. The Ebola virus (EBOV) genome contains seven genes: glycoprotein (GP), nucleoprotein (NP), L, and VP (VP30, VP24, VP35, VP40), which encode GP, NP, RNA polymerase, and viral proteins. When we modified the DNA sequence by codon adaptation, we noted considerable increases in the codon adaptation index (CAI) and GC content when compared with that of the natural-type strain. On average, the NP gene in the modified DNA exhibited a 3.14-fold increase (equivalent to 213.5%) in CAI and a 1.2-fold increase (19.17%) in GC content. Similarly, the GP gene showed a 3.57-fold increase (257.14%) in CAI and a 1.16-fold increase (16.56%) in GC content. Furthermore, the modified DNA resulted in a 3.44-fold increase (244.8%) in CAI and a 1.22-fold increase (22.5%) in GC content for the VP35 gene, a 4.34-fold increase (334.8%) in CAI and a 1.26-fold increase (26.04%) in GC content for the VP30 gene, and a 3.84-fold increase (284.6%) in CAI and a 1.2-fold increase (21.2%) in GC content for the VP40 gene. The VP24 gene exhibited a 3.84-fold increase (284.61%) in CAI and a 1.23-fold increase (23.3%) in GC content, while the L gene showed a 3.84-fold increase (284.61%) in CAI and a 1.23-fold increase (23%) in GC content. The results obtained illustrate that modified genes can boost expression in a host organism without producing truncated proteins. Furthermore, GP and NP are considered as promising candidates for an EBOV vaccine, as they possess immunogenic properties and can stimulate an immune response.

Objetivos: Entre los electro-agentes, el ultrasonido es uno de los más comunes, sin embargo, no hay evidencia suficiente de los efectos benéficos con los parámetros utilizados actualmente. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar el efecto de la terapia de ultrasonido continuo y pulsado sobre la hiperalgesia experimental y edema en rodillas de ratas Wistar.Métodos: Se dividieron 18 ratas en tres grupos: grupo de control (GC); tratado con ultrasonido pulsado 50% (GUP); y ultrasonido continuo (GUC). Para lograr la lesión, los animales fueron inmovilizados manualmente y 100 μl de solución de formalina al 5% se inyectaron en el espacio tibiofemoral derecho. Para la evaluación de la nocicepción se utilizó el filamento de Von Frey digital en el lado medial de la articulación, hasta la retirada del miembro. El edema se evaluó con un calibre tomando en cuenta la medición medio lateral de la rodilla. Las evaluaciones se llevaron a cabo previo a la lesión (EV1), después de 15 (EV2), 30 (EV3) y 60 (EV4) minutos de la lesión. Después de EV2, el tratamiento se inició con ultrasonido con 0,4 W / cm2 (SATA), pulsado o continuo.Resultados: El GC tuvo hipernocicepción, sin retorno a la línea de base. El GUP ha vuelto a la línea de base a partir de EV3 y para el ultrasonido continuo en EV4. Los tres grupos mostraron un comportamiento similar para el edema, con inicio en EV2, sin reducción.Conclusión: El ultrasonido terapéutico fue efectivo para disminuir la nocicepción y la forma pulsada mostró resultados más tempranos, sin embargo, ambas formas de aplicación no tuvieron relación con la formación y mantenimiento del edema agudo.

Under the current background of wisdom education, the meta-universe has expanded the boundary of education, updated the form. of education, refined the results of education, and made teachers become “learners”. Wisdom education has brought the role, ability and teaching problems to primary and secondary school teachers, and there are symptoms of maladaptation. In accordance with the principle of “Survival of the fittest”, primary and secondary school teachers in wisdom education should be recognized as the main body to form. a leverage role: We should take the initiative to find the balance between virtual and reality, make full use of digital resources, master digital means, make a leap in professional and technical skills to realize the transformation of curriculum, and enter the field of culture in teaching and education, the correct path of action improvement should be followed. This research focuses on the subject status of primary and secondary school teachers' subjects, using the method that combines discursive and empirical evidence to focus on primary and secondary school teachers' “Technology vertigo”, “Technology obsession”, “Technology exclusion” and “Technology iteration” in the context of wisdom education, aiming to keep pace with the Digital Darwin era, so that the primary and secondary school teachers can embark on the path of technology development and follow the principle of “Survival of the fittest”, so as to conform. to the correct path of wisdom education and carry out the evolution in accordance with the objectives and laws.
