Acer palmatum 'Bloodgood'
Authors: Gilman Edward F.
Published: April 2021

'Bloodgood' Japanese maple has a round shape with a height and spread of about 20 feet, making it nicely suited to residential landscapes (Figure 1). Its popularity is due mostly to the leaves, which stay red for most of the summer. Leaves turn greenish red during hot weather in the southern part of its range. The multiple trunks are muscular-looking, picturesque, grey and show nicely when lighted at night. Fall color is reddish and less striking than other Japanese maples. The globose canopy shape looks best when it is allowed to branch to the ground. Lower foliage branches can be thinned to display the attractive bark and trunk structure. This document is Fact Sheet FPS-009, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Guidelines for Organic Handling Requirements for Citrus Packinghouses and Processors
Authors: Ferguson James J. , Ritenour Mark A.
Published: April 2021

In 1990, Congress passed the Organic Foods Production Act, part of the 1990 Farm Bill, requiring the USDA to develop national standards for organically produced agricultural products. This was done to assure consumers that agricultural products marketed as organic meet consistent, uniform standards. After ten years of debate and discussion, the final rule of the National Organic Program (NOP) was published in the Federal Register in December, 2000 and fully implemented in October 21, 2002. This final rule codifies the National Organic Program and refers to specific regulations whereas the National Organic Program refers to the overall program established by the federal Organic Foods Production Act of 1990. This document is HS983, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Chevroned Water Hyacinth weevil Neochetina bruchi Hustache (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: Kariuki Eutychus , Minteer Carey
Published: April 2021

Neochetina bruchi Hustache is commonly referred to as the chevroned water hyacinth weevil and is a weed biological control agent used to manage water hyacinth, Pontederia crassipes Mart. [formely Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms (Pellegrini et al. 2018)], in more than 30 countries (Winston et al. 2014). Imported from Argentina, the insect was first introduced into the United States in Florida in 1974 and released in Louisiana later in 1974 (Manning 1979), Texas 1980, and California 1982 to 1983 (Winston et al. 2014). Now Neochetina bruchi occurs throughout the Gulf Coast States (Winston et al. 2014). The target weed of Neochetina bruchi, water hyacinth, is an invasive aquatic plant in the United States and is included on Florida’s list of prohibited aquatic plants.

Neochetina bruchi is among four species of insect biological control agents that have been introduced into the United States to manage water hyacinth. The other three species include a weevil, Neochetina eichhorniae; a moth, Niphograptaalbiguttalis; and a planthopper, Megamelus scutellaris, which were introduced into the United States in 1972, 1977, and 2010, respectively (Tipping et al. 2014).

Although the larvae and pupae of Neochetina bruchi and Neochetina eichhorniae have similar appearance and behavior and can be difficult to differentiate by casual observation (Deloach and Cordo 1976), the adult stages of the two species of water hyacinth weevils can be distinguished relatively easily based on the color patterns on their elytra (hardened fore wings).
Management of Nematodes with Cowpea Cover Crops
Authors: Wang Koon-Hui , McSorley Robert
Published: April 2021

Cover crops are crops grown between cash crop cycles, or crops intercropped with cash crops to cover the ground, such as in vegetable fields, orchards, groves, and agricultural sites. If used appropriately, cover crops can improve soil structure and fertility, decrease soil erosion, provide foliage and animal feed, and suppress crop pests such as weeds, insects, nematodes, and other plant pathogens. Residues from cover crops can be incorporated as green manure to supply nutrients and improve fertility for the next crop. Using cover crops can increase on-farm crop diversity, may enhance many beneficial organisms, and possibly even contribute to carbon sequestration. One good example of a cover crop is cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. This document is ENY-712, one of a series of the Department of Entomology and Nematology, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Insect Pests of Grapes in Florida
Authors: Liburd Oscar , Seferina Gisette , Weihman Scott
Published: April 2021

Florida has approximately 1,500 acres of grapes. With increased funding from the Viticulture Advisory Council (VAC) to establish new wineries throughout the state, production is expanding rapidly. Muscadine grapes, Vitis rotundifolia Michx are the principal type of grapes cultivated in Florida. Only a few acres (< 200) of bunch grapes, Euvitis spp., are grown in Florida. In general, grapes are susceptible to many insect pests. Some of the common insect pests attacking grapes in Florida include: grape root borer, glassy-winged sharpshooter, grape flea beetle, grapevine aphid, grape leaffolder, grape curculio, and grape phylloxera. This document is Fact Sheet ENY-713, a series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Robber Flies, Asilidae (Insecta: Diptera: Asilidae)
Authors: Finn E. M.
Published: April 2021

The robber flies are an abundant and diverse family within the order Diptera that are known for their predatory behavior. Asilidae diversity can be attributed to their broad distribution; most species tend to occupy a selective niche. As their common name implies, robber flies have voracious appetites and feed on a vast array of other arthropods, which may help to maintain a healthy balance between insect populations in various habitats (Joern and Rudd 1982, Shurovnekov 1962). Asilidae adults attack wasps, bees, dragonflies, grasshoppers, other flies, and some spiders. Robber flies are particularly abundant in arid and sunny habitats, which are optimal conditions in which to observe their many morphs and behaviors. This document is EENY-281, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Citrus Leafminer Parasitoid, Ageniaspis citricola Logvinovskaya (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae)
Authors: Walker Alison , Hoy Marjorie A.
Published: April 2021

The encyrtid parasitoid Ageniaspis citricola was first imported into Florida from Australia in 1994 in a classical biological control program against the citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Hoy and Nguyen 1994a). A second strain of Ageniaspis citricola was introduced into Florida from Taiwan in 1997, although there is no evidence that this second strain ever established (Hoy and Nguyen 1997). The citrus leafminer was first detected in Florida in 1993, and quickly spread throughout all 860,000 acres of citrus, posing a serious threat to the state's citrus industry. The population of A. citricola from Australia quickly established and dispersed throughout the state, reaching parasitism levels near 100% in some areas (Hoy et al. 1995ab, Knapp et al. 1995, Bullock et al. 1996, Pomerinke and Stansly 1998). Ageniaspis citricola is consistently the dominant parasitoid of citrus leafminer in Florida. This document is EENY-285 one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

A Series on Diseases in the Florida Vegetable Garden: TOMATO
Authors: Pernezny Ken , Momol Tim
Published: April 2021

The majority of plant health problems categorized as plant diseases are caused by microorganisms. As the name implies, these are extremely tiny disease-causing agents that ordinarily require a microscope to be seen. The very minute size of these disease-causing pathogens accounts for the mystery that often surrounds their presence and impact in the garden. The pathogenic microorganisms that attack garden vegetables, including tomato, can be classified into three major groups: fungi, bacteria, and viruses. This document is Fact Sheet PP-200, one of a series of the Plant Pathology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Services, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Clostridial (Blackleg) Diseases of Cattle
Authors: Richey Eddie J.
Published: April 2021

Diseases including blackleg, malignant edema, sord, black disease, red water, and three kinds of enterotoxemia are all caused by a genus of bacteria called Clostridium. These bacteria have three important qualities: they multiply only in the absence of oxygen; they have the ability to survive adverse conditions by transforming into highly resistant forms called spores; and they release potent toxins during the process of multiplying. It is the combination of these three characteristics that make the clostridia highly dangerous. This document is VM48, one of a series of the Veterinary Medicine-Large Animal Clinical Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

A Novel Modulator of STIM2-Dependent Store-Operated Ca2+ Channel Activity
Authors: Skopin Anton Yu. , Grigoryev Andrey D. , Glushankova Lyubov N. , Shalygin Alexey V. , Wang Guanghui , Kartzev Viktor G. , Kaznacheyeva Elena V.
Published: April 2021

Store-operated Ca2+ entry is one of the main pathways of calcium influx into non-excitable cells, which entails the initiation of many intracellular processes. The endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensors STIM1 and STIM2 are the key components of store-operated Ca2+ entry in mammalian cells. Under physiological conditions, STIM proteins are responsible for store-operated Ca2+ entry activation. The STIM1 and STIM2 proteins differ in their potency for activating different store-operated channels. At the moment, there are no selective modulators of the STIM protein activity. We screened a library of small molecules and found the 4-MPTC compound, which selectively inhibited STIM2-dependent store-operated Ca2+ entry (IC50 = 1 M) and had almost no effect on the STIM1-dependent activation of store-operated channels.

Published: April 2021

Анотація. На сьогодні залишається недостатньо висвітленим механізм залучення учнівської молоді до позаурочних та позашкільних форм фізичного виховання, зацікавленість до занять спортом у системі дитячо-юнацького та масового спорту, що сприятиме підвищенню їх мотивації до фізичних вправ на уроках фізичної культури. Мета. Вивчити вмотивованість школярів до відвідування уроків фізичної культури та спортивних секцій та вплив учителів фізичної культури, тренерів і батьків на формування інтересу до занять руховою активністю. Методи. Аналіз літературних джерел та мережі Інтернет, узагальнення, систематизація, методи математичної статистики. Результати. Визначено зниження інтересу школярів до занять фізичними вправами, відвідування обов’язкових форм занять фізичною культурою в школі, що, в свою чергу, виявляється і у відвідуванні спортивних секцій. Відповіді опитаних школярів свідчать про бажання відвідувати уроки фізичної культури, лише незначна їх частина відвідує спортивні секції, переважна частина не займається спортом. У ході дослідження виявлено зацікавленість учнів та батьків у заняттях на базі школи. Зміст проведення вільного часу школярів, за даними опитування, свідчить про природну потребу дітей у руховій активності та інтерес до фізичних вправ. Не сформовано мотивацію до систематичних занять руховою активністю. Доведено необхідність формування дієвого механізму організації рухової активності школярів та підвищення їх мотивації шляхом урахування інтересів у навчальний та позанавчальний час, налагодження співпраці зі спортивними клубами, ДЮСШ, визначення чітких критеріїв оцінювання мотивації до занять фізичною культурою та різними видами рухової активності і заходів до її підвищення.

DRUG AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEM BY THE ZIMBABWEAN YOUTH: A PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Maraire Tariro , Mariamdaran Saralah Devi Chethiyar
Published: April 2021

Drug abuse has become a problem among youths in Zimbabwe, so dire is the situation that more than half of the youths’ population, approximately 57% in Zimbabwe are involved in drug abuse. The statistics on youth drug abuse in Zimbabwe increase yearly despite measures implemented by various stakeholders to fight the pandemic. The study seeks to understand the problem of drug abuse within the Zimbabwean context from a psychological perspective. The current study takes a desk research approach to understand the problem of drug abuse by the youth in Zimbabwe. The study unearths the most affected age group by drug abuse, the causes of drug abuse, the types of drug abuse and the effects of drug abuse to that age group. The study reviewed relevant literature, using key terms in the study, which are youth, drug abuse and problem. Literature was systematically categorised into categories of causes of drug abuse, types of drug abuse and the effects of drug abuse among the youth. Findings from the study are that, the youth are the most affected age group by drug abuse in Zimbabwe and the problem stems from lack of self-control and negative self-concept on the youth drug abusers. The study also established that cannabis is the most abused drug in Zimbabwe and that the problem of drug abuse has negative effects to the drug abuser, family, community and nation at large. The current study recommends for future studies to establish intervention programs in Zimbabwe that aim to enhance self-control and self-concept in youth drug abusers.

Artykuł dotyczy nowego zjawiska na rynku unijnym, jakim od kilku lat jest tzw. podwójna jakość żywności. Zagadnienie to stało się przedmiotem wielu spotkań i dyskusji, tak na szczeblu poszczególnych krajów unijnych, jak i na forum głównych organów UE (Parlament, Rada i Komisja). Wprowadzono nowe uregulowania prawne, prowadzone są kontrole oraz badania żywności w zakresie jej jakości, a w zasadzie jej jakościowego zróżnicowania w poszczególnych krajach członkowskich. W artkule podjęto próbę oceny, na ile jest to rzeczywisty problem gospodarczy i rynkowy, a na ile działania zmierzające do wprowadzenia na wspólnym rynku nowych form protekcjonizmu państwowego w zakresie produkcji i obrotu żywnością, a więc tej części rynku, która i tak jest w największym stopniu objęta zharmonizowanym prawem unijnym.
Budżet obywatelski jako element partycypacji społecznej
Authors: Dubicki Piotr
Published: April 2021

Partycypacja obywatelska staje się ważnym elementem praktyki samorządowej w Polsce. Jednym z narzędzi wspierających proces angażowania mieszkańców w sprawy samorządowe jest budżet obywatelski. Jego zasadnicze znaczenie polega na zapewnieniu mieszkańcom jednostek samorządowych możliwości decydowania o przeznaczeniu części wydatków budżetowych, w szczególności dotyczących inwestycji o charakterze infrastrukturalnym. Budżet partycypacyjny to jedna z najskuteczniejszych praktyk obywatelskich mających na celu zaangażowanie mieszkańców w proces zarządzania ich miastami. Jednak może on być nie tylko narzędziem czy pojedynczym projektem, ale też częścią gruntownej, długofalowej i całościowej reformy polityki miejskiej, opierającej się na reformie administracyjnej miasta. Zaangażowanie obywatelskie jest również postrzegane jako instrument skuteczności państwa. Kiedy obywatele mają możliwość zaspokojenia swoich potrzeb i pociągnięcia instytucji publicznych do odpowiedzialności, środki publiczne będą prawdopodobnie bardziej efektywnie wykorzystywane do dostarczania dóbr i usług publicznych lepiej dostosowanych do potrzeb obywateli. Uznanie potencjału obywatelskiego zaangażowania w sprawy publiczne jest szeroko rozpowszechnione. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie pojęcia i genezy partycypacji obywatelskiej oraz analiza i porównanie zakończonych edycji Zielonogórskiego Budżetu Obywatelskiego w latach 2013-2020. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na rodzaje zwycięskich zadań oraz zasady przeprowadzania budżetu.

Authors: Koçak Selin
Published: April 2021

Dünyanın birçok yerinde kadınlar toplumların gelişmişlik düzeylerine bakılmaksızın birçok alanda erkeklere kıyasla daha arka planda görülmektedirler. Kadınlara atfedilen bu konum, her toplumda var olan suç olgusuna da yansımaktadır. Ataerkil yapının kadın suçluluğunun erkek suçluluğundan ayrı olarak ele alınmasını olumsuz etkilemesi sebebiyle kadın suçluluğunun nedenleri ve sonuçları kadınlara özgü durumlar içinde tartışılamamaktadır. Ataerkil düzen kadın suçluluğuna yönelik tartışmaların ve araştırmaların az olması, yargılama, yaptırım aşamasında kadınlara özgü değerlendirmelerin yapılamaması ve hizmetlerin kadın suçluların ihtiyaçlarına yönelik düzenlenememesi gibi birçok soruna yol açmaktadır. Feminist akımının ortaya çıkması ve feminist kriminolojinin gelişimi kadın suçluluğunun toplumsal cinsiyet, cinsel istismar, şiddet gibi konular ile birlikte ele alınmasında önemli bir paya sahip olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı adli alanda kadın suçluluğunun görünürlüğünü feminizm, toplumsal cinsiyet, feminist kriminoloji kavramlarına değinerek kadın suçluluğunun özellikleri, kadın suçluluğunu açıklayan yaklaşımlar, kadın suçluluğunun görünürlüğü başlıkları altında eleştirel bir bakış açısı ile sunmaktır.
Sosyal Hizmet ve Bilinçli Farkındalık Uygulamaları
Authors: Hosseinzadeh Asl Navid R. , Dölek Kübra , İl Sunay
Published: April 2021

Bilinçli farkındalık uygulamalarının etkili ve kanıta dayalı olduğu pek çok araştırma tarafından ortaya konulmuştur ve bu nedenle son zamanlarda çeşitli disiplinler bilinçli farkındalık uygulamalarına yoğun ilgi gösterip bu uygulamaları kendi disiplinlerine entegre ederek kullanmaktadır. Ancak sosyal hizmet disiplininde ve özellikle Türkiye gibi gelişmekte olan ülkelerde bu uygulamalar henüz yeterince tanınmamakta ve dolayısıyla ilgi görmemektedir. Bu makalede, önce bilinçli farkındalık ve bilinçli farkındalığın nasıl uygulandığı kısaca gözden geçirilmiş ve daha sonra bilinçli farkındalığın sosyal hizmette kullanım şekli ve sağlayabileceği katkılar tartışılmıştır. Genel olarak bilinçli farkındalığın sosyal hizmet disiplininde üç alan için katkı sağlayabileceği öne sürülmüştür. Bu alanlar, “müracaatçılarla çalışmada etkili bir yaklaşım,” “psikolojik öz-bakım uygulaması” ve “uzman-müracaatçı ilişkisini güçlendirme” olarak tanımlanmıştır. Çeşitli araştırmalar, bilinçli farkındalığın bu üç alana sunduğu olumlu katkıları destekler niteliktedir. Dolayısıyla bilinçli farkındalık uygulamalarının sosyal hizmet müfredatına entegre edilmesi pek çok araştırmacı ve akademisyen tarafından önerilmektedir. Türkiye’de ise sosyal hizmet alanında bu uygulamaları ve muhtemel katkılarını konu alan araştırmalar yok denilebilecek kadar az sayıdadır. Sonuç olarak, bilinçli farkındalık uygulamalarının çeşitli faydaları ve avantajlı yönleri göz önünde bulundurularak, bu konuda daha çok araştırma ve entegrasyon çalışmaları yapılması önerilmektedir.

Çalışmanın amacı; Foucault’nun bazı fikirlerinin sosyal çalışmayla ilgisini kurmak böylece sosyal çalışma teori ve pratiğine katkı sağlama potansiyelini tartışmaktır. Foucault’nun iktidar, biyopolitika, söylem ve yönetimsellik kavramları üzerinden yapılan sosyal çalışma analizi; sosyal çalışma pratiğinde yer edinen iktidar uygulamalarına, bilgi otoritelerine ve ahlaki zorunluluklara işaret ederek öz eleştiri fırsatı sunmaktadır. Ayrıca sosyal çalışmacılara ve sosyal hizmet öğrencilerine referans alınan anlam çerçevelerini fark etmeleri ve baskın söylemleri tanımlamaları için olanak vermektedir. Bunların yanında sosyal çalışma pratiğinin, bağlam- söylem ile şekillenen bir uygulama olduğunu fark etmeyi ve profesyonellik üzerine tekrar düşünmeyi sağlamaktadır. Sonuç olarak Foucault’nun fikirleri ile yapılan analiz; kurumsallaşmış söylemin retorik terimleriyle şekillenen bilginin tartışmaya açık, çok sesli ve iktidarla ayrılmaz olduğunu ifade etmektedir. Böylece bilginin iktidar ile eylem arasında pekiştirici ilişki oluşturduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Bu çıkarım doğrultusunda sosyal çalışma teori ve pratiğinde yer alan baskın söylemlerin güç ilişkileri üzerinden analiz edilmesi bütüncül ve daha az sınırlayıcı alternatif söylemlerin inşa edilmesine olanak verecektir. Zira giderek artan şeffaflık beklentisi ve post-panoptik gözetim şekilleri sosyal çalışma pratiğinde Foucault’nun fikirlerinin daha fazla benimsenmesini gerektirmektedir.

Novel therapy strategies are crucial for thyroid carcinoma treatment. It is increasingly important to clarify the mechanism of thyroid carcinoma progression. Several studies demonstrate that α-Enolase (ENO1) participates in cancer development; nevertheless, the role of ENO1 in thyroid carcinoma progression remains unclear. In the present study, we found that the expression of ENO1 was upregulated in thyroid carcinoma samples. Proliferation and migration of thyroid carcinoma cells were suppressed by depletion of ENO1; conversely, ENO1 overexpression promoted thyroid carcinoma cell growth and invasion. To elucidate the mechanisms, we found that the hypoxia-related mTOR/HIF1 pathway regulated ENO1 expression. ENO1 regulated the expression of CST1; knockdown of CST1 reversed the tumorigenicity enhanced by ENO1 overexpression. Taken together, our findings provide a theoretical foundation for thyroid carcinoma treatment.

The potential to overcome resistance to proteasome inhibitors is greatly related with ubiquitin-proteasome system during multiple myeloma (MM) treatment process. The constitutive photomorphogenic 1 (RFWD2), referred to an E3 ubiquitin ligase, has been identified as an oncogene in multiple cancers, yet important questions on the role of RFWD2 in MM biology and treatment remain unclear. Here we demonstrated that MM patients with elevated RFWD2 expression achieved adverse outcome and drug resistance by analyzing gene expression profiling. Moreover, we proved that RFWD2 participated in the process of cell cycle, cell growth and death in MM by mass spectrometry analysis. In vitro study indicated that inducible knockdown of RFWD2 hindered cellular growth and triggered apoptosis in MM cells. Mechanism study revealed that RFWD2 controlled MM cellular proliferation via regulating the degradation of P27 rather than P53. Further exploration unveiled that RFWD2 meditated P27 ubiquitination via interacting with RCHY1, which served as an E3 ubiquitin ligase of P27. Finally, in vivo study illustrated that blocking RFWD2 in BTZ-resistant MM cells overcame the drug resistance in a myeloma xenograft mouse model. Taken together, these findings provide compelling evidence for prompting that targeting RFWD2 may be an effective strategy to inhibit cellular proliferation and overcome drug resistance to proteasome inhibitor in MM.

Growing demand for water resources coupled with climate-driven water scarcity and variability present critical challenges to agriculture in the Western US. Despite extensive resources allocated to downscaling climate projections and advances in understanding past, current, and future climatic conditions, climate information is underutilized in decisions made by agricultural producers. Climate information providers need to understand why this information is underutilized and what would better meet the needs of producers. To better understand how agricultural producers perceive and utilize climate information, we conducted five focus groups with farmers and ranchers across Montana. Focus groups revealed that there are fundamental scalar issues (spatial and temporal) that make climate information challenging for producers to use. While climate information is typically produced at regional, national, or global spatial scales and at a seasonal and mid- to end-of-century temporal scales, producers indicated that decision-making takes place at multiple intermediate and small temporal and spatial scales. In addition, producers described other drivers of decision-making that have little to do with climate information itself, but rather aspects of source credibility, past experience, trust in information, and the politics of climate change. Through engaging directly with end-users, climate information providers can better understand the spatial and temporal scales that align with different types of agricultural producers and decisions, as well as the limitations of information provision given the complexity of the decision context. Increased engagement between climate information providers and end-users can also address the important tradeoffs that exist between scale and uncertainty.

The evolution of the current dogma surrounding Brugada syndrome (BrS) has led to a significant debate about the real usefulness of genetic testing in this syndrome. Since BrS is defined by a particular electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern, after ruling out certain possible causes, this disease has come to be defined more for what it is not than for what it is. Extensive research is required to understand the effects of specific individual variants, including modifiers, rather than necessarily grouping together, for example, “all SCN5A variants” when trying to determine genotype-phenotype relationships, because not all variants within a particular gene act similarly. Genetic testing, including whole exome or whole genome testing, and family segregation analysis should always be performed when possible, as this is necessary to advance our understanding of the genetics of this condition. All considered, BrS should no longer be considered a pure autosomal dominant disorder, but an oligogenic condition. Less common patterns of inheritance, such as recessive, X–linked, or mitochondrial may exist. Genetic testing, in our opinion, should not be used for diagnostic purposes. However, variants in SCN5A can have a prognostic value. Patients should be diagnosed and treated per the current guidelines, after an arrhythmologic examination, based on the presence of the specific BrS ECG pattern. The genotype characterization should come in a second stage, particularly in order to guide the familial diagnostic work-up. In families in which an SCN5A pathogenic variant is found, genetic testing could possibly contribute to the prognostic risk stratification.

Estimating the coseismic slip distribution and interseismic slip-deficit distribution play an important role in understanding the mechanism of massive earthquakes and predicting the resulting damage. It is useful to observe the crustal deformation not only in the land area, but also directly above the seismogenic zone. Therefore, improvements in terms of measurement precision and increase in the number of observation points have been proposed in various forms of seafloor observation. However, there is lack of research on the quantitative evaluation of the estimation accuracy in cases where new crustal deformation observation points are available or when the precision of the observation methods have been improved. On the other hand, the crustal structure models are improving and finite element analysis using these highly detailed crustal structure models is becoming possible. As such, there is the real possibility of performing an inverted slip estimation with high accuracy via numerical experiments. In view of this, in this study, we proposed a method for quantitatively evaluating the improvement in the estimation accuracy of the coseismic slip distribution and the interseismic slip-deficit distribution in cases where new crustal deformation observation points are available or where the precision of the observation methods have been improved. As a demonstration, a quantitative evaluation was performed using an actual crustal structure model and observation point arrangement. For the target area, we selected the Kuril Trench off Tokachi and Nemuro, where M9-class earthquakes have been known to occur in the past and where the next imminent earthquake is anticipated. To appropriately handle the effects of the topography and plate boundary geometry, a highly detailed three-dimensional finite element model was constructed and Green’s functions of crustal deformation were calculated with high accuracy. By performing many inversions via optimization using Green’s functions, we statistically evaluated the effect of increase in the number of observation points of the seafloor crustal deformation measurement and the influence of measurement error, taking into consideration the diversity of measurement errors. As a result, it was demonstrated that the observation of seafloor crustal deformation near the trench axis plays an extremely important role in the estimation performance.

In 2018, the Haiyang-2B (HY-2B) satellite altimeter was sent to orbit as a follow-up mission of the HY-2A satellite altimeter. The performance of the HY-2B system over the global oceans is considered to be critical. However, its performance is not fully known at the present time. In the present study, the first global quality assessment of the HY-2B Geophysical Data Record (GDR) was presented using comparison and crossover analysis processes of the main parameters and sea level anomalies (SLAs) with Jason-3 GDR data. This study’s assessment results demonstrated that the editing proportion of unqualified data for the HY-2B was 2.67%, which was at a similar level as the Jason-3 (2.86%). In addition, this study’s assessment results of the HY-2B key parameters (mainly the backscatter coefficients, significant wave heights, sea state bias, wet troposphere delays, and ionosphere delays) showed good agreement with the Jason-3, and there were no abnormal trends observed. The mean and standard deviations (STDs) were determined to be (0.21 ± 6.70) cm and (−3.4 ± 6.25) cm for the SLA differences at the self-crossover points of the HY-2B and dual-crossover points between the HY-2B and Jason-3 satellites, respectively. In addition, the SLA crossover analysis results indicated that the accuracy of the sea surface heights for the HY-2B was close to that of the Jason-3 satellite. The spatial distributions of the SLA differences showed no significant errors in the geographic characteristics. The SLA measurements were assessed using a wavenumber spectra method. The obtained results suggested that the power spectrum of the SLAs of the HY-2B satellite followed the regular patterns of the traditional Jason-3 altimeter. Furthermore, based on the spectrum analysis results, it was revealed that the noise level of the HY-2B was lower than that of the Jason-3, indicating a good overall performance of the HY-2B.
