Authors: Viana Joana Thaynara Torres , Morais Norma Martins de Menezes , Honório Fernanda Paiva Pereira
Published: May 2023

Crises febris representam a manifestação neurológica mais comum em lactentes e crianças pequenas. Trata-se de um fenômeno idade-dependente, provavelmente relacionado com a vulnerabilidade de um sistema nervoso em desenvolvimento aos efeitos da febre, em combinação com uma susceptibilidade genética subjacente. Ocorre em 2 a 5% de todas as crianças menores de 5 anos, com um pico de incidência entre 12 e 18 meses. Geralmente são benignas, evoluindo com desenvolvimento neurológico normal. O prognóstico de crianças com crises febris simples é extremamente favorável, raramente apresentando sequela neurológica. Crises febris com duração superior a 5 minutos, entretanto, devem ser tratadas com drogas endovenosas, e requerem observação mais prolongada. Esta proposta de protocolo clínico-assistencial tem como objetivo sistematizar o atendimento a crianças acometidas por crises convulsivas em vigência de febre e sua principal complicação (o estado de mal epilético), a ser utilizado pela equipe assistente do HUWC, hospital terciário de referência no estado, de modo a realizar atendimento adequado a pacientes acometidos por crises febris com intervenções seguras e comprovadamente benéficas, evitando-se exames invasivos desnecessários, e com potenciais complicações. Vale salientar que orientação familiar é uma medida essencial no correto manejo destas crianças.
Bioinspired nucleic acid-based dynamic networks for signal dynamics

Published: May 2023

Signaling dynamic networks in living systems determine the conversion of environmental information into biological activities. Systems chemistry, focusing on studying complex chemical systems, promotes the connections between chemistry and biology and provides a new way to mimic these signaling dynamic processes by designing artificial networks and understanding their emerging properties and functions that are absent in isolated molecules. Nucleic acids, while relatively simple in their design and synthesis, encode rich structural and functional information in their base sequence, which makes them an ideal building block for constructing complex dynamic networks that can mimic those in living systems. This review briefly introduces nucleic acid-based dynamic networks that can mimic natural signaling dynamic processes. We summarize how the nucleic acid-based dynamic networks are utilized to mimic relatively simple biological transformations, such as feedback and feedforward, which act as sub-networks to produce complex dynamic behaviors upon collective integration. We also emphasize the recent development of far-from-equilibrium networks, which are designed for converting the spatiotemporal signal and coupling with the downstream systems to achieve different functionalities and applications, including temporary nanostructure and patterns, programmed catalysis, and more, using nucleic acid-based dynamic networks. We also address the challenges of developing nucleic acid-based dynamic networks by directed evolution, operating complex networks under confinement conditions, and integrating multiplex networks into cell-like containments aiming to create protocells with living features.

У даній роботі досягнуто скорочення часу розв’язування ССЛАР шляхом застосування одного з методів підсхем, а саме, топологічного методу d-дерев. Існуючий метод d-дерев використовується для кіл з постійними параметрами, тому у даній роботі пропонується його модифікація під назвою метод матричних d-дерев, який поширено на кола зі змінними параметрами. При цьому використовується поняття параметричної матричної моделі y = 1/r, g = 1/L,C змінних і постійних елементів параметричного кола.
Метод d-дерев, як звичайний, так і матричний, забезпечують близьке до оптимального винесення подібних у сформованих виразах. Це призводить до суттєвого скорочення часу їх формування, зменшення необхідного об’єму пам’яті, та високої швидкодії символьного методу d-дерев в цілому. Результатом є суттєве розширення допустимих до аналізу кіл за їх складністю.
Аналіз наведеного у роботі комп’ютерного експерименту параметричних ланцюгових кіл показав суттєве збільшення допустимої складності кіл із застосуванням методу матричних d-дерев, ніж за допомогою стандартних засобів MATLAB. Цей факт дозволяє суттєво розширити область застосувань ЧС-методу у задачах статистичних досліджень чи оптимізації електронних пристроїв, які моделюються лінійними параметричними колами.
Epigenetics: an innovative lever for grapevine breeding in times of climatic changes

Published: May 2023

Climate change imposes numerous threats to viticulture. Different strategies have been developed to mitigate these effects that range from innovative vineyard management methods and precision viticulture to the breeding of new varieties and rootstocks better adapted to environmental challenges. Epigenetics refer to heritable changes in genome functioning that are not mediated by DNA sequence variations. The recent discovery that epigenetic memories can mediate acclimation and adaptation of plants to their environment now provides new levers for plant improvement facing climate changes without significant impact on the genetic information. This can be mediated either by using the epigenetic memories of stresses and/or by creating epigenetic diversity in the form of new epialleles without changing the genetic information. Indeed, grapevine is a perennial grafted clonally propagated plant, and as such, presents epigenetic specificities. These specificities require adapting strategies that have already been developed in model plants but also offer opportunities to explore how epigenetic memories and diversity can be a major source of rapid adaptation to the environment for plants bearing similar properties. Among these strategies, both annual and trans-annual plant priming with different types of elicitors might provide efficient ways to better face (a)biotic stresses. The use of epigenetic exchanges between scion and rootstocks and/or the creation of non-targeted epigenetic variations at a genome-wide scale, or targeted using epigenetic editing, may provide innovative and promising avenues for grapevine improvement to face challenges imposed by climate changes.
Metode Omnibus Law dalam Pembaharuan Hukum Pembentukan Peraturan Perundang-Undangan di Indonesia (Studi Perbandingan Negara Kanada, Amerika Serikat, Filipina dan Vietnam)
Authors: Firdaus Muhammad Ihsan
Published: May 2023

The method for forming omnibus laws and regulations is relatively new to positive law for the formation of laws and regulations in Indonesia, considering overlapping regulations are one of the legal issues for reforming laws and regulations in Indonesia that need serious attention. There is a great number of laws and regulations that overlap each other, both horizontally and vertically, resulting in disharmony and legal uncertainty in the laws and regulations in Indonesia and to increase investment value and the national economy which is still relatively low when compared to other countries. This research discusses how the omnibus law concept is applied in other countries in the formation of laws and regulations; and whether the concept of the omnibus law implemented by the Government of Indonesia is in accordance with the objectives of the law and the legal reform of the formation of statutory regulations. This study uses normative research methods. The results of this study conclude that first, other countries, namely Canada, the United States, the Philippines and Vietnam have different legal reasoning, namely as a consolidated norm; increase the investment sector; and the many laws and regulations that overlap with each other and the process of forming laws and regulations is lengthy. Second, the omnibus law method in Indonesia is through Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation which has been revoked by Government Regulation in lieu of Law No. 2 of 2022 does not reflect the objectives of the law (fairness, public benefit and legal certainty) and there are no principles for forming good statutory regulations.
Rekonstruksi Pasal 119 Huruf b Undang-Undang No. 32 Tahun 2009 tentang Perlindungan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup Berbasis Utilitarianisme
Authors: Lazarus Victor Apriano R. , Nurdin Fransiskus Saverius
Published: May 2023

Article 119 section b of Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management stipulates that "Corporations or business entities may be subject to additional criminal or disciplinary measures in the form of shutting down their places of business and/or activities entirely or partially. The logical consequence of this article is that corporations or business entities will have their operations suspended when they carry out a factumm delictum. This juridical action did not solve the problem, but instead it created the new ones. To answer this fundamental problem, this study intends to teleologically discuss the philosophy of utilitarianism and its weaknesses of the a quo article so that it is deemed necessary for its reconstruction based on the utilitarianism. This is a normative legal research with a philosophical approach. This research concludes that the true law must be fair and bring maximum social happiness to the society without exception. The implication is that the formulation of the Article a quo is reconstructed into "Corporations or business entities may be subject to additional punishment or disciplinary action in the form of temporary or partial closure of their place of business and/or activities".
Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja Pasca Revisi Kedua Undang-Undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2011
Authors: Syafriadi Syafriadi
Published: May 2023

This study analyzes the Second Amendment to the Law on the Establishment of Legislation (UU P3) which accommodates the omnibus law method. The omnibus law method was previously unknown to the civil law legal system adopted in Indonesia, therefore when this method was implemented in the Job Creation Law (UU Ciptaker), it invited pros and cons in the society, even differences of opinion among legal experts. The Second Amendment to the UU P3 introduces a new method in forming laws and regulations as it legalizes the omnibus law method in the Indonesian legal system. This paper is the result of doctrinal research that relies on secondary data. This research concludes that: first, the omnibus law method which was initially alien to the system for forming statutory regulations, now through the Second Amendment to the UU P3, it has become one of the known methods in forming statutory regulations and in this context, becoming the legal basis which must be guided by the revision of the UU Ciptaker as mandated by the Constitutional Court decision Number 91/PUU-XIX/2021 as well; Second, the omnibus law method which was accommodated in the Second Amendment to the UU P3 became the juridical basis for improving the UU Ciptaker, both amendments in the formal and material aspects, and UU P3 being the standard in the formation of laws and regulations in Indonesia.
Safety of Iron Chelation Therapies in Kidney Disease
Authors: Nguyen Timothy , Wang Zhe Amy
Published: May 2023

Background: Iron chelation medications (desferoxamine, desferasirox, desferiprone) are used to manage iron overload. These medications are partially excreted via the kidneys, desferoxamine and desferiprone excretes primarily in the urine, and desferasirox had about 8% excreted in the urine. Their use in severe kidney disease and dialysis patients is caution as “avoided” concerning adverse effects; however, there are reports safe use. This manuscript reviews the literature in this population. Data Sources: Pubmed: desferasirox, deferiprone, deferoxamine, kidney disease, ESKD, Dialysis. Case reports and case series that described experiences with using iron chelation medications in ESKD patients are included. Data also gathered from reading-related sources. Results: This is a review of desferoxamine, desferasirox, and deferiprone use in kidney disease from 1976 to the present time. Table 1 provides a summary of findings. These are mostly reports and brief descriptions of the experiences used in severe kidney disease and dialysis, but lack of randomized control trials and small number of participants. Conclusions: Iron chelation medications are important for treating iron overload but concerns with adverse effects. Due to limited medications available to treat iron overload in patients with severe kidney disease, their safe use has been reporting in the literature. This is an area that warrants further research.

Published: May 2023

(1) Background: There are links between tension-type headache and/or migraine with dysfunctions of the cervical and masticatory muscles and with psychosocial factors. The study aims to highlight the connections between primary headaches, bruxism and psychosocial issues, the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary approach in decreasing the intensity and frequency of the headache episodes and bruxism. (2) Methods: 67 patients with primary headache and bruxism were divided into two equal groups. The subjects attended manual therapy sessions twice a week and a weekly counselling session for three months. (3) Results: an overall comparison before and after three months show a significant decrease of the qualitative variables (tension-type headache, migraine, awake bruxism, limited jaw opening, anxiety and stress) after 3 months. Comparing the efficiency of the procedures after 3 months between the two groups, awake bruxism and perceived stress are significantly different. (4) Conclusions: Although the differences are not radical when comparing MT with MT+C at three months, the patients who received either manual therapy or this treatment combination showed an improvement in pain relief, in the frequency and complexity of their symptoms, a reduction in functional disability and an overall improvement of the quality of their lives after three months of treatment.

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is an annual plant belonging to the family of Cannabaceae with several varieties characterised by different fatty acid profiles, content in flavonoids, polyphenols and cannabinoid compounds. Hemp is mostly used in livestock nutrition as oil or as protein cake, not as inflorescences. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary hemp inflorescences on milk yield and composition in grazing goats. Twenty goats (Camosciata delle Alpi), after kidding, were equally divided into two groups (G: Grazing and GH: grazing and hemp), homogeneous for milk yield in the previous lactation, parity and live weight. For three months, all goats were fed on a permanent pasture and received 700/head/day of concentrate (barley, oats and faba bean); diet of group GH was supplemented with 20 g/head/day of hemp inflorescences. Pasture DM intake was estimated according to previous research performed in the same area. In addition, goats’ body weight did not change along the trial meaning that their energy requirements were guaranteed. Individual milk yield was daily registered and samples collected every 20 days for chemical com-position (Milkoscan) and fatty acid profile (Gas Chromatography). The data were analysed by ANOVA (GLM procedure of SAS, 2000), for repeated measure. No significant differences were found for milk yield and chemical composition. Lauric acid (C12:0) was significantly higher in milk of group GH (4.83% vs 4.32%; P<0.01) as well as total conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) (0.435% vs 0.417%; P<0.01).
Multi-Generation Effects of Lead (Pb) on Two Daphnia Species: Looking at Different Levels of Biological Organization
Authors: Araujo Giuliana Seraphim de , Ferreira Abel Luís Gonçalves , Soares Amadeu Mortágua Velho da Maia , Abessa Denis Moledo de Souza , Loureiro Susana
Published: May 2023

Two monophyletic Daphnia species (Daphnia magna and D. similis) were exposed to a sub-lethal concentration of Pb (50 µg/L) for nine generations under two food regimes (usual and restricted) and analysed for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, hatching delay and lifespan, and Net Reproductive Rate (R0) at subcellular, individual and population levels, respectively. At the sixth generation, Pb acclimated neonates were moved to a clean media for three more generations to check for recovery. D. magna showed no Pb effect on Net Reproductive Rate (R0). However, Pb stimulated reproduction, reduced lifespan and decreased AChE activity. Hatching delay and lifespan did not improve during the recovery process, indicating genetic adaptation. Food restriction reduced R0, lifespan, delayed hatching, and increased AChE activity; opposite outcomes were shown for D. similis. Full recovery shown by R0 suggests a physiological acclimation of D. similis. Under food restriction, the animals exhibited a reduction of R0 and lifespan, delayed hatching and increased AChE activity; however, with no Pb effect. The recovery process under food restriction showed that D. similis might not cope with Pb exposure, indicating failed recovery. Such outcomes indicate that a model species' sensitivity may not represent another's sensitivity.
Derivation of Indicators to Measure Sri Lankan Rice Farmers’ Sustainable Agriculture Potentials: Insights from Rural Livelihood Assessment Framework
Authors: Ariyarathna Prasnna Kumara , Nanayakkara Madurika , Thushara S.C.
Published: May 2023

This paper systematically identifies the constructs and indicators to measure Sri Lankan rice farmers’ Sustainable Agriculture potential (SAP) in the regions of Mahaweli Block H in Anuradhapura district, a dominant rice cultivation district in the country. Insights from Rural Livelihood Assessment Framework helped identify the primary constructs of SAP: The constructs of farmers’ SAP are derived as Human, Social, Financial, Physical, and Natural capitals. The principles of Sustainable Agriculture discussed in modern literature and the various research studies carried out in this domain are insightful to derive an exhaustive list of indicators that might adequately explain the constructs of SAP. The researcher adopted a quantitative descriptive approach, developed a comprehensive set of indicators (130), pre-tested them, and conducted a pilot survey with 64 samples. The measurement model analysis techniques in PLS-SEM helped shorten the Questionnaire with the most productive questions (87). This short-listed Questionnaire was again surveyed in a larger sample space, 386, to attest to their validity further. The study found five constructs and 87 productive questions that can explain farmers’ SAP, and the researcher believes that these compositions of SAP and the indicators will be helpful for future researchers.
Scaling Symmetries and Parameter Reduction in Epidemic Si(r)s Models
Authors: Nill Florian
Published: May 2023

Symmetry concepts in parametrized dynamical systems may reduce the number of external parameters by a suitable normalization prescription. If, under the action of a symmetry group G, parameter space A becomes a (locally) trivial principal bundle, A ~ A/G x G, then the normalized dynamics only depends on the quotient A/G. In this way, the dynamics of fractional variables in homogeneous epidemic SI(R)S models, with standard incidence, absence of R-susceptibility and compartment independent birth and death rates, turns out to be isomorphic to (a marginally extended version of) Hethcote's classic endemic model, first presented in 1973. The paper studies a 10-parameter master model with constant and I -linear vaccination rates, vertical transmission and a vaccination rate for susceptible newborns. As recently shown by the author, all demographic parameters are redundant. After adjusting time scale, the remaining 5-parameter model admits a 3-dimensional abelian scaling symmetry. By normalization we end up with Hethcote's extended 2-parameter model. Thus, in view of symmetry concepts, reproving theorems on endemic bifurcation and stability in such models becomes needless.

Patients diagnosed with cancer are less frequently covered by preventive measures for cardiovascular diseases. The frequent co-occurrence of these diseases makes it necessary to apply parallel diagnostics and cardiological treatment with anti-cancer therapy. Case report: We present a case of a 73-year-old former smoker with hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and arterial hypertension, after a partial right nephrectomy in 2005 due to kidney cancer, diagnosed with SARS-COV-2 infection in April 2022. Follow-up chest imaging showed a 20 mm focal lesion in the left lung further classified as a small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. Unexpectedly the patient was hospitalized for ST-segment elevation inferior left ventricular (LV) myocardial infarction treated successfully with coronary angioplasty, however heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricle ejection fraction was diagnosed. One month later patient required another hospitalization due to the HF decompensation and cardiological treatment was optimized with flozin addition to the standard HF therapy. After cardiological approval chemotherapy was initiated with the cisplatinum-etoposide regimen and continued for 6 months without HF decompensation and significant deterioration of renal function. After that, the patient underwent radical radiotherapy. Follow-up chest computed tomography scans showed regression of the neoplastic lesion. Conclusions: Coincidence of newly recognized cancer and infection might contribute and provoke serious cardiological events . To reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications, early periodic cardiological surveillance and optimal pharmacotherapy are required.
Technology-Based Issues in The New Education Policy of India
Authors: Ojha Nitish , Ranjan Preetish
Published: May 2023

Bridging the gap between traditional education and matching the pace of education with the rest of the world, Govt. of India implemented a new education policy this year which was much awaited for a long time. The new education policy is a big step to change India's overall education scenario by changing the examination pattern. However, this new type of decision-making process seeks to ensure that it achieves great benefits covering all uncovered elements while keeping technology as a parameter, so this new policy in the previous education system is also missing some key issues that must be addressed in the next amendments. Making it an example of impact, this paper describes salient issues where new educational policies are silent or those grey areas have been only superficially touched upon.

Published: May 2023

The genus Beauveria include important entomopathogenic and endophytic fungi, among them, Beauveria bassiana is the most studied species. However, there are few knowledge regarding their antimicrobial activity. The current research has been conducted to evaluate in vitro antagonistic activity of B. bassiana and the antimicrobial efficacy of its Exo and Endo metabolites against Bacillus cereus, B. megaterium, Clavibacter michiganensis (gram positive bacteria, G+ve), Xanthomonas campestris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and P. fluorescence (gram negative bacteria, G-ve). In addition, Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was coupled to Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) to qualitatively measure the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) metabolic profile of the most efficient studied isolate of B. bassiana. The obtained results showed that, the isolate UniB2439-3 has promising antibacterial effect against most of studied target bacteria. SPME-GC/MS analysis of VOCs revealed the presence of ethanol; butanal,2-methyl; 2,4-dimethyl-1-heptene; octane, 4-methyl and β-elemene as the main dominant bioactive compounds. The outgoing results explicated that the efficient isolate of B. bassiana can be potentially used as a biocontrol agent against several bacteria especially G+ve ones.
Universe Mass Ratio Golden Rule of Dark Energy, Dark Matters, Leptons, Quarks, Neutrinos and Ordinary Matters
Authors: Hwang Jae-Kwang
Published: May 2023

Our matter universe is made up of four components of dark energy (DE), dark matters (DMs), leptons and quarks which are created from the decay of the primary black hole through the inflation after big bang. In the three-dimensional quantized space model, the sum (DER) of the dark energy (DE) and radiations (R) is the flat photon space and there are 39 particles of 3 dark matters, 9 leptons and 27 quarks. Generally speaking, the mass ratio of the quarks with the 27 particles is smallest and the mass ratio of the DER photon space with the 1 massless photon is largest. Therefore, the mass ratios of DER, DMs, leptons and quarks are inversely proportional to the particle numbers of DER, DMs, leptons and quarks as the first assumption. This simple rule is called as the universe mass ratio golden rule in Fig. 12. This simple rule is successfully applied to the observed mass ratios of the Planck and WMAP missions. The best particle number combination (1, 3, 9, 27) of the four components (DER, DMs, Leptons, Quarks) to explain the Planck 2018 and WMAP results is the same as the particle number combination (1, 3, 9, 27) of the 3-dimensional quantized space model. The calculated mass ratios of DER, DMs, leptons and quarks are 67.5 %, 22.5 %, 7.5 % and 2.5 %, respectively. And the calculated mass ratios of neutrinos and ordinary matters are 5.0 % and 5.0 %, respectively. The mass ratios of the dark energy (68.47(23) %) and matters (31.53(23) %) obtained from the Planck 2018 results are consistent with the calculated mass ratios of the DER (67.5 %) and matters (32.5 %). The mass ratio of the dark energy (72.1(15) %) obtained from the WMAP 9 year results is explained as the summed mass ratio (72.5 %) of DER (67.5 %) and neutrinos (5.0 %). The universe evolution including the super-massive black holes (SMBHs) is shown in Fig. 4. The accelerated space expansion of our universe requires the addition of the new dark energy. If this new dark energy is added, the mass ratio of the dark energy is a little bit increased. The difference (0.97 %) between the observed value (68.47(23) %) and calculated value (67.5 %) is explained by adding the new dark energy in Figs. 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. The corrected mass ratios of DER, DMs, leptons and quarks are 68.47 %, 21.8286 %, 7.2762 % and 2.4254 %, respectively. The corrected mass ratios of the neutrinos (called as cosmic background neutrinos) and ordinary matters (OMs) are 4.8508 % and 4.8508 %, respectively. These corrected mass ratios can explain the mass ratios obtained from the WMAP and Planck missions. In other words, the mass ratios calculated from the best particle number combination support the elementary particles, dark matters and dark energy (photon space) proposed by the three-dimensional quantized space model based on the 10-D Euclidean space.
Performance of Water Indices for Water Resources Monitoring Using Large-Scale Sentinel-2 Data
Authors: Tesfaye Mathias , Breuer Lutz
Published: May 2023

Evaluating the performance of water indices and mapping the spatial distribution of water-related ecosystems are important for monitoring surface water resources. This is particularly the case for Ethiopia since there is limited information available on water resources development over time despite its relevance for the people and ecosystems. To address this problem, this paper evaluates the performance of seven water indices for country-scale surface water detection based on high spatial and multi-temporal resolution Sentinel-2 data, processed using the Google Earth Engine cloud computing system. Results show that the water index (WI) and automatic water extraction index with shadow (AWEIsh) are the most accurate ones to extract surface water. Comparisons are based on qualitative visual inspections and quantitative accuracy indicators. For the latter, WI and AWEIsh obtained kappa coefficients of 0.96 and 0.95, respectively, and an overall accuracy of 0.98 each. Both indices accounted for similar spatial coverages of surface waters with 82,650 km2 (WI) and 86,530 km2 (AWEIsh) for the whole of Ethiopia.

The experiments were carried out at 350, 400, and 450 °C and 1.0 atmosphere, with 2.0 M KOH, and at 450 °C and 1.0 atmosphere, with 0.5 M, 1.0 M and 2.0 M KOH, in laboratory scale. The composition of bio-oils and aqueous phase determined by GC-MS, while the acid value, a physico-chemical property of fundamental importance in bio-fuels, of bio-oils and aqueous phases by AOCS methods. The solid phase (biochar) characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The diffractograms identified the presence of Kalicinite (KHCO3) in biochar, and those higher temperatures favor the formation peaks of Kalicinite (KHCO3). The pyrolysis of Açaí seeds activated with KOH show bio-oil yields from 3.19 to 6.79 (wt.%), aqueous phase yields between 20.34 and 25.57 (wt.%), solid phase yields (coke) between 33.40 and 43.37 (wt.%), and gas yields from 31.85 to 34.45 (wt.%). The yield of bio-oil shows a smooth exponential increase with temperature. The acidity of bio-oil varied between 12.3 and 257.6 mgKOH/g, decreasing exponentially with temperature, while that of aqueous phase between 17.9 and 118.9 mgKOH/g, showing and exponential decay behavior with temperature, demonstrating that higher temperatures favor not only the yield of bio-oil but also bio-oils with lower acidity. For the experiments with KOH activation, the GC-MS of bio-oil identified the presence of hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes, and aromatics) and oxygenates (carboxylic acids, phenols, ketones, and esters). The concentration of hydrocarbons varied between 10.19 to 25.71 (area.%), increasing with temperature, while that of oxygenates from 52.69 to 72.15 (area.%), decreasing with temperature. For the experiments with constant temperature, the concentrations of hydrocarbons in bio-oil increase exponentially with molarity, while those of oxygenates decrease exponentially, showing that higher molarities favor the formation of hydrocarbons in bio-oil. Finally, it can be concluded that chemical activation of Açaí seeds with KOH favors the not only the yield of bio-oil but also the content of hydrocarbons. The study of process variables is of utmost importance in order to clearly assess reaction mechanisms, economic viability and design goals that could be derived from chemically activated biomass pyrolysis processes.

With the advancement of the economy and society, policymakers acknowledge the significance of improving rural households' well-being as a crucial factor in promoting sustainable economic and social development. Based on the matching data of China Household Finance Survey and Digital Rural County Index, this study empirically examines the effect and mechanisms of digital village construction on subjective well-being of rural households. The results revealed that digital village construction has a significant improvement in their subjective well-being. The impact of digital village construction is particularly significant in rural areas located in the western regions of China, as well as among households possessing higher levels of human capital. The process through which digital village construction enhances the subjective well-being of rural households involves the augmentation of household income, the promotion of non-farm employment opportunities, and the enhancement of rural governance. This study provides robust micro-empirical evidence highlighting the positive welfare effects of digital rural construction. This study provides insights into the digital village construction within the happiness economy framework, offering a new perspective. The imperative to strengthen rural digital infrastructure and improve farmers' proficiency in modern information skills is a strategic policy aimed at enhancing well-being of rural households.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant and enduring influence on global health, in-cluding maternal and fetal well-being. Evidence suggests that placental dysfunction is a potential consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy, which may result in adverse outcomes such as preeclampsia and preterm birth. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear, and it is uncertain whether a mature placenta can protect the fetus from SARS-CoV-2 infection. To address the above hiatus, we conducted a transcriptome-based study of the placenta in both maternal and fetal compartments. We collected placental samples from 16 women, immediately after term delivery, of which seven had confirmed SARS-CoV-2 in-fection by PCR before parturition. Notably, we did not detect any viral load in either the maternal or fetal compartments of the placenta, regardless of symptomatic status. We extracted total RNA from placental tissues, separately from maternal and fetal compartments, constructed cDNA li-braries, and sequenced them to assess mRNA and small RNA expression. Our analysis revealed 727 differentially expressed genes (DEG) in the maternal placental tissue, with 608 upregulated and 109 downregulated in SARS-CoV-2-positive women compared with healthy, negative wom-en. In contrast, the fetal compartment did not exhibit any significant changes in gene expression with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Specifically, we observed significant downregulation of seven genes belonging to the pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (PSG), related to the immunoglobulin superfam-ily in the maternal compartment with active SARS-CoV-2 infection (fold change range from -13.70 to -5.28, FDR ≤ 0.05). Additionally, comparing symptomatic women with healthy, we identified 14,223 DEGs, with high expression of the inflammatory cytokine IL6 in the maternal placenta of the symptomatic women. Furthermore, KEGG analysis revealed that pathways relat-ed to viral infection, vascular smooth muscle contraction, and oxytocin signaling were altered significantly in symptomatic women. Overall, our study sheds light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the reported clinical risk of preeclampsia and preterm delivery in women with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Nonetheless, studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to further deepen our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the placenta’s anti-viral effects in ma-ternal SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Fragmentation processes of multiply charged ions of C10H8 isomers produced in fast proton collision (velocity between 1.41 and 2.4 a.u.) is discussed in view of their fundamental molecular dynamics. Especially so in the mechanisms to produce a variety of carbon clusters from such ions. This aspect is assessed with the help of a multihit analysis of daughter ions in coincidence with elimination of H+ and CHn+ (n = 0 to 3). The elimination of H+/C+ was found to be very different from CH3+ loss. The loss of CH3+ was found to be accompanied with the formation of heavy ions like C9H5+, C9H5++ and C7H3+ by a cascade of momentum correlated dissociations. The most probable structures of large fragment ions in the CH3+ loss cascade are predicted with the help of computed electronic energy and the multihit ToF correlations of second and third hit. In addition, we report observation of super-dehydrogenation of naphthalene and azulene targets, with evidence of complete dehydrogenation in a single collision.

Rare study on quantitative relationship between energetic impact of debris flows on the intensity and duration of growth disturbances of tree rings was carried out, partly due to lack of feasible approaches and detailed field evidence. In this study, we firstly determine the age of a recent debris flow derived from historic landslide deposits at Qingyang mountain (QYM) on the northeastern Tibet plateau by dendrogeomorphic technique. We acquired the quantitative data of annual widths of tree rings in history and confirmed the influence of debris flow rather than other factors (e.g. climatic event and inset outbreaking) in disturbing the growth of tree rings in a specific year. Using the approach, we determined the age of the debris flow at QYM occurred in 1982, which was speculated to be triggered by high monthly precipitation of July in 1982. Subsequently, based on the boundaries of historic debris flow identified on remote sensing images before and after 1982 and depth-integrated continuum model, we reconstructed the process of 1982-debris flow and obtained the kinematic energy of debris flow impacting on the sampled trees. Based on the study, we observed that two growth disturbance patterns of tree rings influenced by the reconstructed 1982-debris flow were revealed including growth suppression and asymmetric growth. A raw logarithm relationship between duration (i.e. lasting time for the disturbed tree rings to recover the initial width) and intensity of growth disturbances (i.e. growth suppression ratio of disturbed tree rings) was obtained. We concluded that there is a negative exponential relationship between simulated kinematic energy of debris flow impacting on the disturbed trees and time to recover the initial width of corresponding tree rings.
