The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary marks one of the five major mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic. How the climate system responded to a bolide impact and extensive volcanism at this time over different timescales is highly debated. Here we use the distribution of branched tetraether lipids (brGDGT) from fossil peats at two sites in Saskatchewan, Canada (paleolatitude ~55°N), to generate a high-resolution (millennial) record of mean annual air temperature (MAAT) spanning the last ~4 ka of the Cretaceous and first ~30 ka of the Paleogene. Our study shows that MAATs ranged from 16–29°C, with the highest value in the first millennia of the Paleogene/ The earliest Paleogene averaged ~25°C—maintaining or enhancing warmth from the latest Cretaceous—followed by a general cooling to ~20°C over the following ~30 ka. No abrupt post-boundary cooling (e.g., an “impact winter”) or abrupt warming are evident in our data, implying that if such phenomena occurred, their duration was relatively short-lived (i.e., sub-millennial). Further, no long-term impact- or volcanism-driven warming is evident. The range of temperature change observed is considerably greater than that derived from marine proxy records over the same time interval. Our findings therefore more properly place bounds on the magnitude and duration of temperature change on land during this critical interval—the main setting for the demise of non-avian dinosaurs and the rise of mammals.
Rebellion Management Theory
Authors: Krueger Joachim
Published: March 2023

Reviews ‘The art of insubordination: How to dissent & defy effectively’ by Todd B. Kashdan. Notes the importance of dissent, minority opinion, and resistance to conformity, where appropriate. Proposes a 'rebellion management theory' as an analog to error management theory. To succeed, would-be rebels must identity promising contexts and avoid failed or destructive rebellions. Kashdan't book-length treatment lacks nuance in this regard.
Assessing rigor and impact of research software for hiring and promotion in psychology: A comment on Gärtner et al. (2022)
Authors: Brandmaier Andreas Markus , Ernst Maximilian Stefan , Peikert Aaron
Published: March 2023

Based on four principles of a more responsible research assessment in academic hiring and promotion processes, Gärtner, Leising, and Schönbrodt (2022) suggested an evaluation scheme for published manuscripts, reusable data sets, and research software. This commentary responds to the proposed indicators for the evaluation of research software contributions in academic hiring and promotion processes. Acknowledging the significance of research software as a critical component of modern science, we propose that an evaluation scheme must emphasize the two major dimensions of rigor and impact. Generally, we believe that research software should be recognized as valuable scientific output in academic hiring and promotion, with the hope that this incentivizes the development of more open and better research software.
Does racial diversity affect White children’s racial bias and reasoning? Depends on where they live and how their social world is structured
Authors: Burke Nicole , Rizzo Michael , Britton Tobias , Rhodes Marjorie
Published: March 2023

By 4-years of age, White children from across the United States begin to exhibit an awareness of racial inequalities, along with ingroup preferences for other White children. The present study explored how the size and racial diversity of White children’s social network (e.g., friends, family, classmates) and neighborhood (zip code) are related to variation in their explanations for racial disparities and anti-Black bias among a sample of 395 White children (aged 4-11 years old; Mage = 6.6 years) from 263 unique zip codes across the United States. White children in neighborhoods with low diversity were more likely to endorse an extrinsic explanation for racial inequality as their network diversity increased, whereas network diversity did not relate to children’s choices for those that lived in neighborhoods with high diversity. These findings held even after controlling for parents’ beliefs about diversity, which were themselves positively correlated with children’s network and neighborhood diversity. An exploratory analysis revealed that for White children in small networks only, as the number of children of color in their network increased, they were more likely to choose to play with a Black child. Results demonstrate how the diversity of children’s social networks and neighborhoods relate to children’s developing racial beliefs in contextually-dependent ways.
The role training and therapy setting plays in the intersectional identities of therapists who identify as Black and gay.
Authors: Amponsah Ben
Published: March 2023

This study examines the lived experiences of men who are Black and gay. The context is therapeutic education/training and workplaces. The research base that explores the experiences of people juggling marginalised intersectional identities is limited. This is particularly seen when looking at populations such as therapists, who rely on/ build from self within their anti-discriminatory practice. Four gay, Black therapists completed semi-structured interviews that explored their recollections of lived experience of being Black and gay in their counselling training, placements or places of work post training. Thematic analysis yielded three over-arching themes: feelings engendered by Blackness, structural boundaries and giving and receiving. Thematic analysis determined subthemes, which include “difficult moments”, “anger”, “timeliness”, “rules and feedback”. The findings were discussed in the context of respondent’s feelings about structural racism in both classroom and workplace, prejudice as well as a felt unfair requirement to teach their white counterparts what it is to be anti-racist alongside well understood heterosexism. Managing experiences related to sexuality did not appear as predominant as race, race equality and racism.

Introduction: Coconut sap is a sweet, fragrant liquid obtained from the inflorescence of coconut tree. In this study, a literature search was conducted using the Scopus database to study the trends of coconut sap research. Methods: Data extracted from the Scopus database were analysed and visualised using VOSviewer to determine top authors, papers, countries, collaborations, and research areas. A total of 76 publications up to year 2021 were identified and refined using keywords of “coconut sap”, “coconut sugar”, “coconut inflorescence”, “coconut inflorescence sap”, “coconut neera”, and “Cocos nucifera”. Results: Based on the analysis, research on coconut sap started in 1984, with a total of 53 authors, nine countries, and 12 sources that had published more than two documents. The analysis of countries and sources revealed that India and IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science (EES) were the most prolific country and sources, respectively. The most influential document was on the chemical compositions and bacteriology of coconut sap. The results also showed that research on coconut sap was in the field of food processing during the early years, followed by fermentation, agriculture, and bacteriology of coconut sap. Research on coconut sap’s bacteriology started in 1986 and became a major interest, especially among high impact journals. Conclusion: Overall, coconut sap is a potential target for the development of nutraceutical products, especially in the food and beverage industry.
Diasporic Identity in Bharati Gautam’s Memoirs
Authors: Timalsina R.
Published: March 2023

This article aims to explore how Bharati Gautam’s collection of memoirs Vigata ra Baduli [Past and Hiccups] exhibits the formation of a diasporic self. The text connects the Nepali American writer with both of her homeland (Nepal) and hostland (the USA). Dean Smyer Yu’s theorization of diasporic selfhood and identity guides the analysis. Yu argues that the people who consciously choose to make their new home in the diaspora work for their self-making and place making that ultimately manifests their transnational and trans local mode of being. Their identity develops as a hybrid one because of the admixture of the culture, emotion, thought pattern and practicality from both the lands. Gautam’s memoirs present the same tendency of her growth in the America for about four decades. Her identity is constantly in the making and so she goes on modifying her life and thoughts to adapt in the new land. She gradually develops a diasporic consciousness that helps her accept the differences between the homeland and hostland life as a transnational individual. Finally, her family evolves a cosmopolitan consciousness. This article will contribute to the study of the making of the diasporic self the Nepali people have been undergoing for long.

Authors: Gautam Mani Prasad , Acharya Keshab Prasad
Published: March 2023

Background: Rheumatic heart disease is one of the major public health concerns in Nepal. Depending on the severity of valvular involvement, these cases are managed either medically or surgically. As our centre is planning to develop cardiovascular surgery, we wanted to study the burden of valvular cases requiring on surgical management in our hospital.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, Bharatpur Hospital, Chitwan, Nepal. During one year 4636 echocardiography conducted, 220 rheumatic heart disease cases were identified and included in the study.

Results: The Mean±SD age was 24.5±12.4 years. Eighty percent subjects had valvular lesions suitable for medical management. Twenty percent subjects had severe valvular lesions requiring surgery or intervention. Out of these, only 30 subjects (13.6%) were operable, 4 (2.2%) were severe mitral stenosis cases suitable for balloon valvotomy and 10 subjects (4.5%) were unfit for surgery because of reduced ejection fraction.

Conclusion: The majority of rheumatic heart disease were manageable by medical treatment. Small proportion of subjects required surgical management and a few of them were fit for balloon valvotomy. We conclude that the development of cardiovascular surgery setup in our hospital is a must and certainly will upgrade the rheumatic heart disease management.

Published: March 2023

Many people think that Styrofoam is just a waste and cannot be utilized, as time goes by, with the narrower land, styrofoam media is very helpful for planting media. One of them is the cultivation of shallot plants which contain nutrients and active chemical substances that have benefits for health apart from being a complementary spice. In the growth process, of course, shallots need organic compounds as a physiological process known as ZPT. The natural ingredients used as ZPT are cherry water and sprouts extract.The purpose of this study was to determine the use of styrofoam media for the growth of shallot plants using organic ZPT. This research is an experimental study and the research design used a single factor completely randomized design, with 4 levels, namely 0.75, 100, 150 and 170%. Each treatment with four replicates of auxin ZPT, namely the Bio TECH msg 3 brand with a dose of 10g / ml was used as a comparison. Based on the results of the analysis using the ANOVA test, the results were (? = 0.00) for shoot height growth, (? = 0.00) for the number of shoots, (? = 0.00) for the number of roots and (? = 0.00) for the root length. This proves that giving organic auxin ZPT 170% has a significant effect on the growth of shallot plants. So it is recommended that the community when cultivating plants is recommended to use 170% organic auxin ZPT on Styrofoam media because it saves more land and is cheap.

“Utopian” and “Dystopian” in the Context of Visual Arts
Authors: Sumpor Svjetlana
Published: March 2023

The paper explores the interdisciplinary trajectory of the terms "utopian" and "dystopian". It acknowledges the fact that "utopia" and "dystopia" are originally terms from literary theory that refer to specific literary genres. In the light of a recent crossover of the term "dystopian" into the vocabulary of art criticism (exhibition reviews and catalogues), as well as a current curatorial fashion of devising exhibitions on the basis of binary opposites of "utopian" and "dystopian", the paper aims to define the range of meanings, connotations and denotations of the terms "utopian" and "dystopian" in visual arts, by means of discussing the particular contexts in which they are used. The use of the term "dystopian" is discussed in the context of the following artists: Alexis Rockman, Michael Kerbow, Fabrice Monteiro, Kushal Tikle, Alice Tye, Jon Rafman, as well as in the context of Croatian artists Jasenko Rasol and Sebastijan Dračić. The term "utopian" is discussed in the context of theoretical discussions about avant-garde art, the socially engaged artistic actions of artists from the second half of the 20th century (in particular, Joseph Beuys), as well as in the context of Croatian art, specifically of Ivan Rabuzin's paintings. The paper argues that, though the terms "utopian" and "dystopian" are transmedia terms, their range of meaning differs in relation to a particular kind of art they refer to. During the approximately last one hundred years, the term "utopian" has been used in theoretical considerations as a means of describing art movements, practices and works. Sometimes it refers to a specific artistic principle, that is, an "impulse" or intention of art that implies a desire for social change through art; at other times, it refers to the visual aspect of an artwork, implying idealistic and/or idealising imagining and visualization. The term "dystopian" has been employed in the context of visual arts only recently, that is, approximately in the last ten years. It is used with the aim of describing a certain mood or atmosphere. It is usually related to the specific iconographical aspect of a work of art. Art works described as "dystopian" most often explore the themes of ecology, consumerism, oppressive social and political systems, power relations and inter-species dynamics. Both utopian and dystopian art is created as a critical response to social reality.

The aim of the study was to find out the dissipation rate of the chlorantraniliprole residues in garden bean pods. Insecticides were sprayed at the farmers’ holding located at Naraseepuram, Coimbatore during the year 2022 (March to April), and the collected samples were processed and analyzed in the laboratory. An effective modified QuEChERS method was developed and validated to estimate the chlorantraniliprole residues in Ultra High-Performance Chromatography. Good linearity with R2 greater than 0.99 was achieved with the Limit of Quantification as 0.05 mg/kg. The relative standard deviation was below 5% for the recoveries obtained (93.30 to 97.91%). The residues persisted up to 10 and 15 days after treatment for recommended (20 g a.i./ha) and double the recommended doses (40 g a.i./ha), respectively. The half-life of chlorantraniliprole in garden beans was calculated as 2.18 days for recommended dose and 2.89 days for double the recommended dose. Intake of chlorantraniliprole residues through garden beans at either of the doses was found to be safe as the calculated Risk Quotient (RQ) was less than one.

Published: March 2023

INTRODUCTION:

Primary hyperhidrosis is a condition of excessive sweating that severely limits a person's social life. We aimed to investigate factors affecting the quality of life and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing videothoracoscopic sympathectomy for palmo-axillary hyperhidrosis.

METHODS: We evaluated 126 patients who underwent videothoracoscopic sympathectomy for primary palmo-axillary hyperhidrosis. The data were analyzed retrospectively in terms of postoperative complications and factors affecting the quality of life.

RESULTS: A total of 251 videothoracoscopic sympathectomy operations were performed, 53.2% (n:67) of the patients were female and 46.8% (n:59) were male. The mean age was 24.3±7 (min-max:15-51), whereas the mean body mass index was 23.5±4 (min-max:16.9-34.9). The mean length of hospital stay was 1.3±0.9 days (Min-Max: 1-6). Complications were observed in a total of 13 (10.3%) patients. The most common complication was pneumothorax (n:10). Compensatory hyperhidrosis was observed in 23 patients (18.3%).

Topicality. In Ukraine, a sharp manifestation of unfavorable climate elements for growing hybrid maize seeds, brought to the fore the tolerance of the female components of hybrids to environmental factors limiting the formation of potential yield. Therefore, the study and evaluation of the ecological plasticity and stability of female components are an urgent issue of the modern seed production of maize hybrids. Purpose. To determine the requirements of the female components of maize hybrids to environmental conditions. Materials and Methods. During the research, 20 female components of maize hybrids bred by the SE Institute of Grain Crops of NAAS were used. The female components were single cross sterile hybrids. The methodology of S. A. Eberhart, V. A. Russell, edited by A. Zykin and others, was used. The methodology is based on the calculation of two parameters: the linear regression coefficient bi (ecological plasticity) and the dispersion σd² (ecological stability). Results. The grain yield of the female components was determined in five years of the research. The influence of environmental conditions on the yield of female components of maize hybrids was determined. The female components were distributed according to the requirements for growing conditions. Conclusions. The most valuable, highly intensive female components include sister hybrids Kros253C, Kros256C, Kros247C and Kros238C with high environmental plasticity and stability. To realize the potential yield, they need a high agricultural background under favorable weather conditions. Female components Kros364M and Kros368M with high regression coefficient and root mean square deviation are less valuable because their high plasticity is combined with low yield stability. It is desirable to grow these female components only on a high agricultural background under favorable climatic conditions to get the maximum yield. Hybrids Kros254M, Kros255M, Kros266S, Kros277M, Kros301M, etc., have low environmental plasticity and high yield stability. These hybrids will give maximum returns for minimum costs in extensive cultivation.

Topicality. The sweet maize grain differs from other maize subspecies in its high sugar content: the grain accumulates 2 times more mono- and disaccharides, 20 times more dextrins, and almost 2 times less starch, with a crude protein content of 10.4–14.9 %. The main direction of sweet maize breeding is to develop the high-yielding interline hybrids that are suitable for mechanized harvesting of cobs, and resistant to main diseases and pests, as well as characterized by high technological grain qualities. To effectively solve these challenges, it is necessary to know the morphological and biological characteristics and properly select the source material (self-pollinated lines). Purpose. To study of morphological and biological characteristics of sweet maize lines. Materials and methods. Visual phenological observations; laboratory-field method was used to determine morpho-biological characteristics of plants; measuring and weighing method – to determine yield and metric characteristics of plants; mathematical and statistical method - to determinate validity of results, variability of traits, correlational dependence of traits; analysis of variance; comprehensive assessment of morpho-biological and economically valuable characteristics of inbred lines. Results. According to analysis of sugar composition, the studied samples revealed a high content of monosaccharides (glucose, fructose, etc.) in the lines HOL-1 1411111, HOL-1 1411211, DKS346 114, DINAR346 141, HOL-19 and disaccharides (sucrose, lactose, maltose) in HOL-1 1411211, SVAN1212 123, HOL-19. These indicators are important in the deep processing of sweet maize for the food industry an individual product and as one of the components in the culinary products. These mono- and disaccharides are used to produce sweets, sweet or alcoholic drinks and sauces. The following DINAR346 141, HOL-1 1411511 lines had a low level of sucrose content: 3.7 and 4.6 %, respectively. Conclusions. According to the results of research on the breeding material of sweet maize, it was identified the self-pollinated families with high taste qualities (7 points), such as HOL-1 1411111, HOL-1 1411211, DKS346 114, HOL-4 1411141 and HOL-19, which will be involved to develop competitive high-yielding hybrids with a high sugar content in grain, increased taste and technological qualities in the sweet maize breeding programs in the future.

Malaria in pregnancy can be caused by various types of Plasmodium malaria and Plasmodium falciparum is a plasmodium that has a bad impact that can increase maternal morbidity and mortality and has a bad impact on babies in the womb. In pregnant women, malaria can cause complications of anemia, cerebral malaria, pulmonary edema, kidney failure and can cause death. In the fetus it causes abortion, premature delivery, low birth weight, and fetal death. This research method uses descriptive with cross sectional research design. The study sample was 53 pregnant women who underwent Antenatal Care examinations at the Koya Barat Health Center in 2021. The sampling method used the Accidental Sampling technique. The results showed that the majority of respondents aged 20-35 years were 48 people (90.6%). Most of respondents' education is SMA 28 (52.8%). Good knowledge of 16 respondents (30.2%) and poor knowledge of 37 respondents (69.8%). Positive attitude of respondents as many as 19 respondents (35.8%) and negative attitudes of 34 respondents (64.2%). The behavior of the respondents is sufficient as many as 36 respondents (67.9%) and the behavior of the respondents is less as many as 17 respondents (32.1%). Conclusion There is a significant relationship between knowledge of pregnant women and the behavior of preventing malaria complications in pregnancy with a p-value of 0.045. There is no significant relationship between attitude and prevention of malaria complications in pregnancy with a p value of 0.502 at the Koya Barat Health Center. Efforts to prevent malaria must continue to be carried out in risk groups, namely pregnant women, in order to reduce the number of malaria cases and reduce maternal and infant mortality.

fenyegetettség egyaránt kihatott az Európai Unió (EU) és az Észak-atlanti Szerződés Szervezetének (NATO) tagállamaira és saját rendszereire is. Az európai kormányoknak lépéseket kellett tenniük a nemzeti szintű kiberbiztonsági politikák kidolgozására, miközbenegyidejűleg egyesítették szuverenitásukat az Észak-atlanti Szerződés Szervezetén és az Európai Unión keresztül védelmük megerősítése érdekében. Gyakran felmerül a kérdés, hogy mi a különbség és mi a hasonlóság a két szervezet között, illetve szükséges- e mindkét szervezet, ha vannak átfedések? Jelen publikáció célja bemutatni, hogyan hatnak a kiberbiztonsági fenyegetések az EU és a NATO szervezeti struktúrájára és stratégiai környezetére.

Számos történelmi, hadtörténelmi példa igazolja, milyen fontos szerepe van a saját lakosság, az ellenfél lakossága, valamint a nemzetközi közvélemény megnyerésének, s hogy ebben egyre fontosabb szerepet tölt be a tömegmédia. Oroszország Ukrajna ellen indított háborújának kezdete óta globálisan is láthatóvá váltak a civil környezetben folytatott információs műveletek. Kiemelendő viszont, hogy bár korábban a globális közbeszédben nem kapott kellő hangsúlyt a téma, valójában már évekkel a háború kitörése előtt megindultak az információs műveletek az orosz–ukrán konfliktusban. Mind a hagyományos, mind az új média felületein zajlottak a háború előkészítéséhez szükséges békés és kevésbé békés műveletek, többek között a propaganda, valamint a hírszerzés és a dezinformáció. Ezek az információs műveletek (kiemelten az üzenetek) nemcsak az orosz és az ukrán lakosságot vették célba, hanem a nemzetközi közvéleményt, politikát is.

Objectives: Due to the importance of postpartum maternal health and the effect of pregnancy on the increase of recti diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA), this study aimed to compare the effect of eight weeks of core and Kegel exercise with emphasis on correcting the respiratory pattern on DRA in multiparous women. Methods: This is a semi-experimental study that was conducted on 45 pregnant women who had given birth six weeks ago selected according to the inclusion criteria. Individuals were divided into three selected training groups, including central area, Kegel, and control. The covariance analysis was used for intergroup comparison and a correlated t-test was used for comparison within a group. The statistical analysis was done by SPSS software, version 27. Results: The results of this study showed the effect of both training programs on reducing the distance between the recti-abdominal muscles (P<0.001). No significant difference was reported between the two training groups in this regard. Also, there was a significant difference in terms of pain between the two training groups and the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two training groups (P>0.045). Discussion: Due to the reduction of pain and DRA, it seems that using the two training programs can lead to desirable results for the people and represents the importance of using the exercises in the postpartum period.

Objectives: Sibling relationships are often among the long-lasting relationships and more than two-thirds of adolescents with siblings introduce their siblings as the most important people in their life. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of communication skills on sibling relationships among adolescents with Down syndrome. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study based on a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. A total of 60 adolescents were members of the Iranian association for Down syndrome in Tehran City, Iran. From this population, 30 adolescents were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were divided into two groups (experimental and control). At first, the adolescents’ parents responded to the sibling relationship questionnaire. Then, the experimental group attended 10 sessions on communication skills. Following the tenth session, parents completed the sibling relationship questionnaire once more. The data were analyzed using a multivariate analysis of covariance. Results: The results showed that the experimental group experienced a significant increase in two dimensions of warmth/closeness and conflict following the intervention program compared to the control group (P<0.01). However, the difference between the two groups was not significant in the other dimensions, namely relative status/power and rivalry. Discussion: It seems that communication skills training is an appropriate intervention to improve sibling relationships of adolescents with Down syndrome.
