Published: October 2023

Background: The water resources of Northeast (NE) Indian reservoirs have been largely overlooked, despite their immense potential in various aspects. A comprehensive analysis of water quality parameters was conducted to assess the physio-chemical changes and health status of Maphou or Mapithel reservoir, Manipur, NE, India. Methods: Sub-surface water samples were collected from June 2021 to May 2022 to assess the spatio-temporal changes. Trophic State Index (TSI), Morpho Edaphic Index (MEI), Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) and fish yield potential were calculated. The average water spread area was calculated through Normalised Difference Water Index (NDWI) method. Result: A total of eighteen (18) water quality parameters were examined following Standard Methods. ANOVA analysis indicated that all water quality parameters, except total alkalinity, exhibited significant seasonal variations (p less than 0.05). Spatially, most of the water quality was found to be insignificant, except for Chl-a and depth (p less than 0.05). All the water quality parameters were within acceptable ranges for the growth and survival of aquatic biotic resources. No signs of pollution were observed. The trophic status of the reservoir was found in an oligotrophic state. The MEI was estimated as 8.55 and the average fish yield for the reservoir was 14.98 kg ha-1, which is below the national average yield of small reservoir (49.9 kg ha-1). The MSY was estimated to be 21.46 kg ha-1. Heatmap cluster analysis revealed three distinct clusters of months. The actual average water spread area was determined to be 852.62 ha, hence the reservoir can be categorised as small reservoir.
Role of GRAS Transcription Factor in Plant Growth, Development and Various Stresses: A Review
Authors: Mishra Shefali , Sharma Pradeep , Chaudhary Reeti
Published: October 2023

The GRAS transcription factor family is a plant-specific regulatory proteins that play fundamental roles in various biological processes. The acronym “GRAS” stands for “Gibberellic Acid Insensitive, Repressor of GA1-3 and Scarecrow,” representing three of its founding members. Additionally, GRAS members are instrumental in orchestrating symbiotic interactions, stress responses and other vital physiological functions. The N-terminal of GRAS protein is very diverse, but the C-terminal GRAS domain is conserved. The GRAS proteins’ C-terminal conserved domain directly influences how they work. For instance, in the Arabidopsis plant, alterations to the phenotype of the slender rice 1 (SLR1) and Repressor of GA (RGA) proteins result from mutations in this domain. More than 30 plant species have been found to have GRAS proteins, which have been classified into 17 subfamilies so far. This review focused on the structural characteristics of GRAS proteins, their growth and diversity in plants, GRAS-interacting protein complexes and their function in biological processes. Moreover, GRAS proteins also mediate responses to phytohormones, such as gibberellins and strigolactones and regulate phytochrome signaling, which is crucial for light perception and plant growth. It also discussed the significance of GRAS proteins throughout various biological processes in plants. Additionally, we outlined recent studies that used CRISPR-Cas9 technology to modify GRAS genes in a plant for various features. Additionally, there have been discussions of using GRAS genes in agricultural enhancement efforts.

Authors: Corbally Melissa , Hine Benjamin Alexander , Kestell Barry
Published: October 2023

Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) within relationships is a worldwide problem, which has detrimental direct and indirect consequences. Indeed, the negative health effects of DVA have been evidenced both nationally and internationally. It is also increasingly acknowledged that men experience DVA, and the gendered experience of DVA by those who identify as men has been explored in recent studies and reviews. However, there is still little known about how male victims of DVA utilize support services, particularly in countries like Ireland where masculinity stereotypes may be particularly powerful. In the present study, an exploratory statistical analysis of 10 months of retrospective contact data from a DVA support service based in Ireland was conducted, which included 3,181 contacts made by 1,093 individuals. Of this, 2,507 contacts were made by 715 men. Analyses provided evidence as to who contacts the service, what kinds of DVA are reported, how these behaviors are reported, and what kinds of outcomes result from this contact. Of the 715 men who made contact, they were most likely to be married, living apart from their partner, between the ages of 35 and 54, with an average of 2.1 children. All types of DVA were reported but psychological abuse was the most common, with 69.5% of the 2,507 contacts from male victims containing a report of psychological abuse. Contact was made by telephone in most cases (80%) and information was the most common outcome, being provided on 55.2% of contacts. Results provide important information about the utilization and characteristics of calls received by an Irish DVA support service, which will inform the enhancement of services provided to vulnerable men and their families.
Effect of organosilicon adsorbent on the content of mobile forms of heavy metals and growth of test-crop under conditions of soil contamination with lead and copper
Authors: Skurikhina P. D.
Published: October 2023

The pollution of soil by heavy metals becomes a prime ecological problem. Recultivation of polluted soil objects is usually made by means of different types of sorbents. So, in this connection the search for the most effective and multifunctional sorbing agent is relevant. The model experiment of soil pollution by several heavy metals in upper soil horizon was carried out. The soil for that research was Grey-Luvic Phaeozems. Lead (Pb2+) and copper (Cu2+) were chosen as pollutants. Solutions of lead acetate (Pb(CH₃COO)₂·3H2O) and copper sulphate (CuSO₄·7Н2O) of three different concentrations (1 MPC, 5 MPC, 10 MPC) were used as pollutants. Solutions of organosilicon adsorbent – 1,1,3,3,3-tetrahydroxy-1,3-dimethyldisiloxane polyhydrate (PMSPG) were also applied in three different variants: 0.01%; 0.1%; 1%. The mobile forms of heavy metals were researched by method of atomic absorption spectrometry. The mobile forms of heavy metals were extracted by the ammonium acetate buffer (pH = 4.8). According to results, the application of organosilicon sorbent had a positive issue. Application of adsorbent significantly reduced the concentrations of mobile heavy metal compounds. The application of PMSPG solution with concentration of 1% was the most effective. A vegetation experiment was carried out. Cress (Lepidium sativum L.) of “Zabava” variety was used as a test-crop. Favourable changes in the growth of cress with the use of adsorbent at the concentration of 1% compared to the control variants were revealed.
Assessment of the barrier function of Chernozem and Luvisol under their experimental contamination by copper ions
Authors: Iovcheva A. D. , Semenkov I. N.
Published: October 2023

The aim of the work was to assess the ecological resistance of topsoils of Chernozem and Luvisol to modeled copper contamination. To determine the sorption capacity of soils and to obtain the required levels of contamination the experiment was carried out. Soils were contaminated by the Cu acetate solutions with concentrations from 20 to 200 mg/L, which corresponds to the input of 20–2 000 mg/kg of Cu. Approximation of Cu adsorption isotherms by the Langmuir equation was statistically significant. The obtained values of maximum adsorption (Cmax) and Langmuir constant (KL) for Chernozem were higher than for Luvisol. This indicates a higher adsorption capacity and stronger retention of adsorbed Cu in Chernozem compared with Luvisol. This fact can be explained by the higher content and composition of organic matter, the heavier texture and the neutral pH value of Chernozem. By the method of sequential selective extractions, it was found that in uncontaminated soils, more than 50% of Cu is strongly bounded to silicate fraction (>50%). Assessment of Cu fractionation at different levels of contamination reveals a slight increase in the percentage of Cu bioavailable forms (exchangeable and acid-soluble) in Chernozem at 200 mg/kg and its significant increase in Luvisol at 200 mg/kg. At contamination of about 2 000 mg/kg Cu, both soils are characterised by a predominance of pools of bioavailable and bound to (hydr)oxide of Fe and Mn forms. The mobility factor does not exceed 10% for Chernozem and 25% for Luvisol in the native and contaminated by 200 mg/kg soils, which indicates low and medium bioavailability of Cu in them, respectively. Contamination by 2 000 mg/kg of Cu increased the mobility factor up to 25% in Chernozem and up to 40% in Luvisol, which means the medium and high risk of Cu migration into the adjacent environments.

Distinguishing Children From ISIS-Affiliated Families in Iraq and Their Unique Barriers for Rehabilitation and Reintegration
Authors: Cook Joana
Published: October 2023

Over 25,000 Iraqis (90 percent of which are women and children) currently reside in al-Hol camp in Northeastern Syria, and the government of Iraq has started to return some of these families back to Iraq via a rehabilitation and reintegration programme. This population is perceived to have an ISIS affiliation, along with thousands of other persons across Iraq. But what exactly does having an ‘ISIS affiliation’ mean practically for children from these families, and what are the implications of it for their rehabilitation and reintegration? Building off a gap in the literature around children with perceived affiliation to terrorist groups, this article utilises Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems model to help distinguish the current challenges faced by children from ISIS affiliated families in Iraq. It considers the implications of familial affiliation in areas including family life, education, camp and detention settings, media coverage, returning to their communities, and legal aspects. It also considers which of these features are shared with ISIS-affiliated children outside of Iraq. The aim is to create a stronger and shared baseline for understanding the unique features of such children, and how their healthy development may be negatively or positively impacted on multiple levels when their family is affiliated with a terror group. In turn, this understanding can better shape and target the interventions or support they may receive in response to these.

Published: October 2023

We present data on the correlation between diabetes mellitus and the risk of developing cardiovascular pathologies. The study involved 60 people, 30 men and 30 women, whose average age was 50–60 years. All participants were divided into three groups. The first group included people without type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but with cardiovascular diseases. The second group included people with type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed 2–3 years ago and cardiovascular diseases. The third group included people with type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed 10–15 years ago and cardiovascular diseases. All three groups were analyzed according to the following averages: blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol concentration, Sokolow–Lyon index and SCORE scale values. As a result of the study and comparison of three researched groups, it was revealed that people with diabetes mellitus diagnosed 2–3 years ago already have changes in the cardiovas-cular system and people with type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed 10–15 years ago have significant changes. Thus, type 2 diabetes mellitus is a serious factor contributing not only to cardiovascular diseases development, but also to their rapid progression, which, in turn, significantly increases the risk of death from cardiovascular complications.

Published: October 2023

A curadoria de conteúdo para a Educação a Distância (EAD) tornou-se, nos últimos anos, uma atividade frequente para professores, demandando o acompanhamento de gestores e profissionais da Educação. Por meio de um diálogo interdisciplinar entre as áreas da Ciência da Informação e da Educação, esta pesquisa apresenta a percepção de cinco stakeholders que atuam no ensino superior brasileiro privado em relação ao processo de curar conteúdo para a EAD: professores universitários, bibliotecários, avaliadores do Ministério da Educação, gestores de instituições de ensino superior (IES) e gestores de EdTech. O caminho metodológico escolhido foi uma pesquisa descritiva com abordagem quantitativa do tipo survey. As 29 perguntas realizadas foram alocadas em seis blocos: introdutório, curadoria, pedagógico, tecnologia, qualidade e final. De forma geral, os resultados mostram que, apesar de ser entendida como uma nova oportunidade profissional de atuação docente, a curadoria precisa ser melhor explorada na área educacional. Suas características, processos e ferramentas não são de conhecimento comum das equipes das IES, tampouco os indicadores de qualidade que devem compor o processo de curar conteúdo. Destaca-se, assim, a urgência da construção de manuais, modelos ou guias que auxiliem curadores de conteúdo para EAD na realização do processo, observando as características das diferentes modalidades de ensino e, principalmente, detalhando etapas, a fim de instrumentalizar os profissionais da área educacional.

Electro-optic modulator (EOM) is one of the key devices of high-speed optical fiber communication system and ultra-wideband microwave photonic system. Silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) integration platform combines the advantages of silicon photonics and organic materials, providing a high electro-optic effect and compact structure for photonic integrated devices. In this paper we present a SOH integrated EOM with comprehensive investigation of EOM structure design, silicon waveguide fabrication with Slot structure, on-chip poling of organic electro-optic material, and characterization of EO modulation response. The SOH integrated EOM is measured with 3dB-bandwidth of over 50 GHz and half-wave voltage length product of 0.26 V·cm. Furthermore, we demonstrate a microwave photonics phase shifter by using the fabricated SOH integrated dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator. The phase shift range of 410 degree is completed from 8 GHz to 26 GHz with a power consumption of less than 38 mW.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) derived from organic fertilizers may increase soil phosphorus (P) availability. However, the frequently observed correlation between soil P availability and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content has led to an excessive focus on DOC content at the expense of DOM properties. The present study investigated the influence of DOM characteristics on soil P availability by using a 6-year field experiment and microcosms of P sorption in paddy soil. Our results showed that partial replacement of chemical P fertilizer with manure or crop straw increased P fertilizer-use efficiency, even when decreasing chemical P input by 34 %, compared to normal chemical fertilization. The microcosm experiment demonstrated that DOM properties, rather than total DOC content, determine soil P sorption capacity, despite the significant correlation between DOC content and P availability observed in the field experiment. Manure-DOM exerted stronger inhibitory effects on P sorption than straw-DOM, and high molecular weight (HMW)-fractionated DOM exerted stronger inhibitory effects on P sorption than low-molecular-weight-fractionated DOM by 16-20%. The mechanism was rooted in the HMW DOM with unique characteristics (e.g., strong aromaticity, hydrophobicity, abundant humic-like components, carboxyl groups, and benzene ring structures) competing for soil P sorption sites (e.g., reduction in specific surface area and micropore volume), decreasing the soil surface charge (e.g., zeta potential), and thereby suppressing P sorption in paddy soil. Our study points out a promising avenue for regulating organic matter properties with organic fertilization to improve P use efficiency in agricultural soils.
Expression, characterisation, homology modelling and molecu-lar docking of a novel M17 family leucyl-aminopeptidase from Bacillus cereus CZ
Authors: Liu Jie , Cui Tangbing
Published: October 2023

Leucyl-aminopeptidase (LAP), an important metallopeptidase, hydrolyses amino acid residues from the N-terminal of polypeptides and proteins, acting preferentially on the peptide bond formed by N- terminus leucine. A new leucyl-aminopeptidase was found in Bacillus cereus CZ. Its gene (bclap) contained a 1485 bp ORF encoding 494 amino acids with a molecular weight of 54 kDa. The bcLAP protein was successfully expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3). Optimal activity is obtained at pH 9.0 and 58°C. The bcLAP displays a moderate thermostability and an alkaline pH adaptation range. Enzymatic activity is dramatically enhanced by Ni2+. EDTA significantly inhibits the enzymatic activity, and bestatin and SDS also show strong inhibition. The three-dimensional model of bcLAP monomer and homohexamer is simulated by Phyre2 server and SWISS-MODEL server. The docking of bestatin, Leu-Trp, Asp-Trp and Ala-Ala-Gly to bcLAP is performed using AutoDock4.2.5 , respectively. Molecular docking results show that the residues Lys260, Asp265, Lys272, Asp283, Asp342, Glu344, Arg346, Gly372, His437 are involved in the hydrogen bonding with the ligands and zinc ions. There may be two nucleophilic catalytic mechanisms in bcLAP, one involving His 437 or Arg346 and the other involving His437 and Arg346. The bcLAP can hydrolyse the peptide bonds in Leu-Trp, Leu-Trp and Ala-Ala-Gly.

Published: October 2023

Higher concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from anthropogenic actions associated with energy generation are one of the causes of climate change. In view of this, several efforts have been undertaken in the search for more sustainable alternatives, and photovoltaic (PV) technology has stood out among the different possibilities. However, PV generation is highly sensitive to future climate variability, which is a source of uncertainty that can complicate energy planning and compromise the viability of systems. This theme has received attention from the academic community, but some challenges to map and identify relevant literature have been encountered. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze and identify relevant aspects of international scientific production on the impacts of climate change on the potential of photovoltaic production, CC-PVP, through bibliometric techniques. For this, 3900 articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, published between 1960 and 2021, were retrieved and analyzed through a bibliometric approach, using the SciMAT tool. Among the results obtained, it is worth pointing out that the CC-PVP research field (i) has moderate maturity, (ii) is concentrated in the areas of energy, fuels and technology, as well as environmental sciences and meteorology, (iii) has the most studied themes currently related to energy and the forecasting of photovoltaic energy production and electric energy consumption in the world, especially when considering climate change, and (iv) is more researched by Chinese, North Americans and Australians.

Published: October 2023

Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) can fully use forest resources and improve the economic, environmental and social sustainability of forest areas. Forestry enterprises play a crucial role in the implementation of SFM. To better play the role of forestry enterprises in implementing SFM, it is necessary to establish a comprehensive and reasonable performance evaluation model for SFM in forestry enterprises. However, the previous literature pays little attention to this research question. Taking the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) as a theoretical framework and the Montreal Process Criteria and Indicators (MP C&I) as a basis, this paper constructs an indicator system to evaluate the performance of SFM of forest enterprises from economic, social and environmental aspects. This paper applies the integrated MCDM method, i.e. the BWM method and the VIKOR method, to construct the methodological system for SFM performance evaluation of forestry enterprises. The effectiveness of this SFM performance evaluation model is then demonstrated through its application to a case study of forestry enterprises in China. Through the application of the model, this paper evaluates the enterprise's SFM performance over the five-year period 2017-2021 and proposes appropriate policy recommendations and improvements.

Considering future tasks in soil health, resources management and environmental protection, farmers are challenged to develop sustainable strategies for managing soil and land resources. In this study, the long-term sustainability of two fertilization strategies, - current, with synthetic fertilizers (SYN) vs conservative, with organic sources of nitrogen (organic amendments plus green manure with a legume - CONS) - was assessed in a processing tomato/durum wheat rotation. The EPIC model was used, validated with field data then run to simulate the management for 30 years under 3 current and future climates. Yield, soil organic carbon (SOC) stock change, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), water use efficiency (WUE) and nitrate leaching were considered as sustainability indicators. Under all the future climate scenarios, tomato yield increased in CONS, remaining almost stable in SYN. Wheat yield increased both in CONS and SYN, but the average yield in CONS was considerably lower than in SYN. NUE and nitrate leaching followed the same trend, both decreasing in CONS, while WUE was higher in CONS compared to SYN. The effect of CONS on SOC was always positive. Thus, the alternative N fertilization strategy proposed can be a favorable option for maintaining soil health and a sustainable crop production.
Deep learning as a tool of quantum error reduction in quantum image processing

Published: October 2023

Quantum image representation is a widely researched area of quantum computing. Currently developed methods use angle parameter of the rotation gate (e.g., the FRQI method), sequences of qubits (ex. NEQR method) or phase shift (ex. LPIQE method) for storing color information of pixels. All of those methods are affected by decoherence and other classical and quantum noise, which is an inseparable part of quantum computing in a NISQ (Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum) era. These all phenomenons influence the measurements, its probability distribution over the measurement basis and, as the result, makes the extracted images not even similar to those, which was stored in quantum computers. Since this process is, in its foundation, quantum as well, the computational reversal of this process is possible. There are a lot of methods for error correction, mitigation and reduction, but all of them use quantum computer time, or additional qubits to achieve desired result. We report a successful use of the Generative Adversarial Network tuned for image-to-image translation in conjunction with PDU method, for error reduction in images encoded using LIPQE (Local Phase Image Quantum Encoding) method.
Collagen Structured Hydration

Published: October 2023

Collagen is a triple-helical protein unique to the extracellular matrix, conferring rigidity and stability to tissues such as bone and tendon. For the [(PPG)10]3 collagen-mimetic peptide at room temperature, our molecular dynamics simulations show that these properties result in a remarkably ordered first hydration layer, of water molecules hydrogen-bonded to the backbone-carbonyl (bb-CO) oxygen atoms. This originates from the following observations. The radius of gyration attests that the PPG triplets are organized along a straight line, so that all triplets (excepting the ends) are equivalent. The solvent accessible surface area (SASA) for the bb-CO oxygens shows a repetitive regularity for every triplet. This leads to bb-CO⋯HOH occupancy following a similar regularity, similar also to the crystal-phase 0-2-1 water occupancy in the P-P-G triplet. The regularity is maintained in spite of the sub-nsec water exchange rate, because the bb-CO sites rarely remain vacant. The manifested ordered first-shell water molecules are expected to produce a cylindrical electrostatic potential around the peptide, that might guide cation diffusion in its vicinity.
