Authors: S Dr. Niranjani , Revathy Dr. T.G. , Varrshine.R Dr.
Published: September 2023

Autoimmune disease is a condition that attacks the immune system and leads to multi-system disorders like systemiclupus erythematosus and rheumatoid disorders, which initiates self-directed immune responses that result in clinical diseases,mainly in obstetrics conditions like recurrent pregnancy loss, pre-eclampsia are common. The study aimed to identify therelationship between connective tissue disorders and abnormal uterine bleeding patterns. A rare case of abnormal uterinebleeding with a past history of recurrent pregnancy loss was presented in the casualty with excessive menstrual bleeding in astate of hypovolemic shock. The patient complained of generalised malaise, giddiness, breathlessness, and palpitations for thepast 2 months. She suffered recurrent epistaxis for the past 2 months and experienced symptoms like loss of appetite, recurrentvomiting for the past 15 – 20 days, and rashes over the face and cheeks for 6 months. Her haemoglobin was 2.4g/dL, and theplatelets were less than 10,000 with bicytopenia at the time of admission She was shifted to ICU and haemodynamicallystabilized by packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and platelets. Following this, she was treated with antifibrinolytics, andsevere anaemia was corrected with multiple PRBC transfusions. Multiple single-donor platelet transfusions were also done. Afterrecovery, the patient was discharged with an advice to continue hydroxychloroquine. Immune dysregulation and inflammationtogether contribute to the development of menstrual disorders among women with Rheumatoid Disorders which can be wellmanaged with systematic therapeutic plans at the initial stage.

Authors: Rim John Hoon , O Cheol Bae , Jang Jaehyeok , Jang Hanmil , Kang Hyein , Lim Jong-Baeck
Published: September 2023

Introduction COVID-19 is known to induce plasma cell
differentiation by elevating interleukin-6 level. Proliferation of
dyscrasic plasma cells lead to production of monoclonal immunoglobulins.
Cases with monoclonal gammopathy in COVID-19 have been reported in
various countries. In this study, we present nine cases of Korean
patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection, and their consecutive
electrophoresis results of monoclonal gammopathies. Material &
Methods A total of 34 serial serum samples from 9 patients diagnosed
with COVID-19 infection were analyzed for the protein electrophoresis,
immunofixation, immunoglobulin quantification, SARS-CoV-2 antibody
titers and interleukin-6 level assessments. Cases were classified into
four groups based on the disease severity. Results Six cases
revealed the presence of monoclonal paraprotein in serum electrophoresis
results. Both two expired cases showed monoclonal bands, with one case
of notable correlation with the increase of virus activity. Types of
immunoglobulins were variable among six cases. Most of the cases showed
high interleukin-6 levels and COVID-19 antibody titers, but their
fluctuations did not correlate with monoclonal paraprotein patterns.
Conclusions In conclusion, monoclonal paraproteins were
observed with relatively higher frequency in the severe cases rather
than mild cases. Longitudinal monitoring on monoclonal paraproteins
associated with COVID-19 infection were proved to be transient in mild
cases.
Extended Solar Cell Parameters - General Purpose Descriptive I/V Parameters for Solar Cells
Authors: Pieters Bart
Published: September 2023

For the automated analysis of I/V-characteristics of solar cells
and modules, descriptive parameters are essential. In particular with
the rise in machine-learning techniques and the related increase data
volumes, there is a need for good, general purpose, descriptive
parameters. The most commonly used descriptive parameters for I/V
are the standard solar cells parameters, consisting of V oc , I sc , V
mpp , and I mpp . Also other representations may be considered, such as
one diode model parameters corresponding to a particular I/V.
However, these representations are very coarse and cannot distinguish or
represent many common (non-ideal) features of an I/V (e.g. an
S-shape). In this work we propose an extended set of solar cell
parameters, which are well defined, and easy to determine. We evaluate
the effectiveness of the extended solar cell parameters by
reconstructing the I/V from the extracted parameters. This allows
one to “measure” information loss. We compare the accuracy of our
parameters with other commonly used curve models for I/V, namely
the one diode model, and the Karmalkar-Haneefa model. The models are
applied to a large set of I/V (about 2.2 million curves),
covering a wide range of technologies and conditions. We demonstrate our
extended solar cell parameters consistently provide an accurate
description of nearly all I/V in these datasets. Furthermore, we
present our I/V analysis tool which we use to process these
datasets. This tool is fast and capable of extracting the extended solar
cell parameters, as well as parameters for the one diode model and the
Karmalka-Haneefa model. Finally, we exemplary show how the extended
solar cell parameters may be used to detect partial shading in outdoor
data, by training a simple random-forest classifier based on extended
solar cell parameters.

Objective: This study intended to analyze the prognosis of patients with
stage IIIC squamous cervical cancer who underwent the Obstetrics and
Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University (FUOG) Treatment, and explored
the factors influencing their prognosis. Design: A retrospective study.
Setting: A large tertiary hospital specializing in obstetrics and
gynecology in China. Population or Sample: This study collected data
from 717 patients with stage IIIC squamous cervical cancer who underwent
FUOG Treatment in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2020.
Methods: Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate progression-free
survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Stratified analysis was
performed to examine the risk factors. Main Outcome Measures: The main
outcomes were 3-year PFS and OS. Results: The 3-year OS was 90.9% for
patients with stage IIIC squamous cervical cancer, 91.5% for stage
IIIC1 and 83.2% for stage IIIC2, respectively. The 3-year PFS was
84.8%, 85.3% for stage IIIC1 and 78.8% for stage IIIC2, respectively.
Undifferentiated squamous carcinoma was an independent prognostic factor
for OS (HR: 5.793, p=0.0064) and PFS (HR: 4.663, p=0.0033).
Postoperative patients with standard adjuvant therapy had better 3-year
OS outcomes than patients with non-standard therapy (88.4% vs 73.4%,
p=0.007). Patients with undifferentiated type (OR=8.471), positive
parietal infiltration (OR=3.339), or tumor infiltration depth of 1/3-2/3
(OR=5.454) were more likely to have distant recurrence. Conclusions: The
prognosis of patients with stage IIIC cervical squamous carcinoma
treated with the FUOG Treatment is satisfactory. However, risk factors
such as undifferentiated type, positive paracervical infiltration, and
non-standard adjuvant therapy can negatively affect prognosis.
Chinese urbanization promoted terrestrial ecosystem health by implementing high-quality development and ecological management
Authors: Huang Chunbo , Liu Shuangshuang , Du Xixi , Qin Yi , Deng Lei
Published: September 2023

High-quality urbanization and a healthy ecosystem are both the material
basis for sustainable social development. However, the relationship
between urbanization and terrestrial ecosystem health at the regional
scale is still unclear. Therefore, we assessed the spatial-temporal
dynamics of urbanization and terrestrial ecosystem health at 368 cities
in China from 2000 to 2020, then explored their spatial interaction and
driving mechanisms by spatial autocorrelation analysis and partial least
squares structural equation modeling. The results showed: (1) China’s
comprehensive urbanization index (UI) increased from 0.08 in 2000 to
0.10 in 2020, contributing by some national urban agglomerations such as
Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta. (2)
China’s terrestrial ecosystem health index (EHI) also increased from
0.6718 to 0.6788. Ecosystem vigor improved significantly, while
ecosystem organization and resilience both decreased. (3) EHI and UI
appeared to be locally spatially dependent, and path dependence was
presented at municipal scales. (4) At the national scale, urbanization
is positive related to EHI, which were enhanced by social, economic and
topography factors. The dominant drivers on EHI varied among regions,
and urbanization improved EHI in all regions except for the southwest.
Our study demonstrated that urbanization would promote terrestrial
ecosystem health by implementing high-quality development and ecological
management simultaneously, providing theoretical support for urban
ecological management and sustainable development.

Zur Eingrenzbarkeit des Problems der Nicht-Identität
Authors: Omerbasic-Schiliro Alina
Published: September 2023

Das Problem der Nicht-Identität ist eines der zentralen Probleme der gegenwärtigen Philosophie. Es ergibt sich, wenn versucht wird, das Wohl künftig lebender, das heißt gegenwärtig (noch) nicht existierender Individuen in den Bereich moralischer Berücksichtigung zu holen. Obwohl seine Brisanz für Fragen der Metaethik, aber auch der Zukunfts- oder Umweltethik sowie der Ethik der Reproduktionsmedizin offenkundig ist, und die Debatte darüber seit Derek Parfits Diskussion des Problems in seinem Werk Reasons and Persons von 1984 bis heute nicht an Fahrt und Hitzigkeit verloren hat, gilt es noch immer als ungelöst.  
Auch dieser Artikel soll einen Beitrag zur Suche nach der Lösung des Problems der Nicht-Identität leisten, nicht aber, indem ein weiterer Lösungsvorschlag unterbreitet wird, sondern indem gezeigt wird, dass es sich in weniger Fällen ergibt als in der Literatur suggeriert wird. Es soll gezeigt werden, dass viele der in der Literatur diskutierten, vermeintlichen Nicht-Identitäts-Fälle „schon jetzt“, das heißt ohne die seit Parfits Diskussion des Problems gesuchte „Theory X“, welche die lang ersehnte Lösung verspricht, gefunden zu haben, lösbar sind, weil es sich bei diesen überhaupt nicht um genuine Nicht-Identitäts-Fälle handelt. Hierzu erfolgt nach einer kurzen Erläuterung des Problems zunächst eine Darstellung und Analyse einiger „klassischer“ Nicht-Identitäts-Fälle. Anschließend wird in zwei Schritten für eine neuartige Einschränkung des Problembereichs des Nicht-Identitäts-Arguments – also des Arguments, das letztlich zum Problem der Nicht-Identität führt – argumentiert.  
Die Einführung dieser Einschränkung beziehungsweise Fallunterscheidung bringt für die weiterfolgende Debatte zwei methodologisch wichtige Erkenntnisse mit sich: Nicht nur kann das Problemfeld des Nicht-Identitäts-Arguments deutlich eingegrenzt werden. Auch der Anwendungsbereich des gesuchten Prinzips, welches das Problem der Nicht-Identität zu lösen vermag, fällt kleiner aus als gemeinhin angenommen wird. Dies mag zwar dort, wo sich das Problem der Nicht-Identität wirklich ergibt, nichts von seiner Brisanz nehmen. Doch hilft es, allzu häufigen Verweisen auf das Nicht-Identitäts-Argument Einhalt zu gebieten, und sich bei der Suche nach einer Lösung fortan auf genuine Problemfälle zu konzentrieren.
Das Alter bekämpfen oder akzeptieren?
Authors: Mooren Nadine
Published: September 2023

Im Rahmen der philosophischen und außerphilosophischen Beschäftigung mit der Frage nach dem guten Leben im Alter trifft man in der Regel auf einen von zwei Vorschlägen, wie am besten mit den Folgen des eigenen Alters umzugehen sei. Entweder wird dazu geraten, die Folgen des Alters so lange wie möglich zu bekämpfen oder dazu, sie zu akzeptieren. Das Ziel dieses Beitrags besteht darin, zu einem besseren Verständnis des guten Lebens im Alter beizutragen, indem diese beiden Vorschläge und die ihnen zugrundeliegenden Annahmen genauer untersucht werden. Im Anschluss an einige methodische Vorbemerkungen zu den grundlegenden Begriffen „Altern“ und „Alter“ in Abschnitt 1 soll gezeigt werden, dass beide Strategien plausible Aspekte ins Spiel bringen, die mit Blick auf die Frage nach dem guten Leben im Alter berücksichtigt werden sollten, sich aber auch mit Einwänden konfrontiert sehen (vgl. die Abschnitte 2 und 3). Im letzten Abschnitt soll dafür argumentiert werden, dass sich die bewahrenswerten Aspekte der beiden Strategien als komplementäre Bestandteile eines praktisch klugen Umgangs mit altersbedingten Veränderungen verstehen lassen (Abschnitt 4).
Kontroversität statt Neutralität – oder: Warum Werteerziehung unabdingbar ist
Authors: Laschet Oliver , Engartner Tim
Published: September 2023

Eine den Gemeingeist fördernde Moral- und Werteerziehung stellt eine wesentliche Bestandsvoraussetzung freiheitlicher Gesellschaften dar. Und wo, wenn nicht in der Schule als einziger staatlich verantworteter Sozialisations- und Bildungsinstanz, sollen sich ethisch reflektiertes demokratisches Bewusstsein, von Fairness geprägte Streitkultur und hinreichend tragfähige Toleranz reproduzieren? Vor diesem Hintergrund finden sich in Schulgesetzen, Landesverfassungen und Kernlehrplänen zahlreiche Ziele der Werteerziehung, denen die Lehrenden nachkommen (sollen). Die Auseinandersetzung mit kontroversen Themen stellt dabei einen elementaren Baustein in der Erziehung zu politischer Mündigkeit und praktischer Urteilsfähigkeit dar. Während der Blick bei der Frage nach Prinzipien der Demokratieerziehung für gewöhnlich auf die politische Bildung gerichtet wird, fokussiert der vorliegende Beitrag den Philosophie- und Ethikunterricht, der – fachlich und fachdidaktisch angrenzend – in besonderer Weise geeignet ist, einen substanziellen Beitrag zur Herausbildung demokratischer Orientierung zu leisten. So etwa würdigt der sog. Dresdner Konsens von 2016 ähnlich wie der im Jahre 1976 begründete Beutelsbacher Konsens die Anlage des Unterrichtes nach dem Grundsatz der Kontroversität als besonders wirksamen Schutz gegen Indoktrination.

Delimitation of the environmental component of national and corporate economic activity is one of the ways to present information on environmental activities in the accounting and reporting system. An important problem of this system of accounting for natural resource and environmental indicators is the lack of methods for the formation of such business transactions. Only if environmental indicators are taken into account in the economic activities of enterprises, an objective assessment can be given and a competitive agricultural business can be formed. The purpose of the study is to find out the importance of environmental safety of the agrarian business of Ukraine and its accounting and analytical support. It is determined that the primary role in the process of environmental management is designed to perform accounting as a system that reflects the events of economic life, including the impact of the enterprise on the environment. The article discloses the role of accounting in ensuring environmental safety of business. The volume of expenses of business entities for the implementation of environmental measures, including waste management, is investigated. The costs of environmental protection of agriculture, forestry and fisheries in Ukraine are analysed. It is revealed that the main objects of accounting for environmental activities are assets, liabilities and results of the enterprise. The article reveals the essence and methodology of environmental accounting of these objects: natural resource potential, production waste, non-current assets of environmental purpose, environmental liabilities, environmental costs, environmental income and financial results from the environmental activities of the business entity.

Authors: Jovanovic Predrag , Stojkovic-Zlatanovic Sanja , Cudanov Mladen
Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic occurred at a high spreading rate with sudden pattern changes, high variability, and unpredictability. This generated uncertainty making it hard for authorities to predict, plan, and conventionally prepare preventive and suppressive actions. As a result, governments worldwide had to find new, more comprehensive, and complex solutions to manage the health sector in a turbulent environment. The paper?s main objective is to analyze different organizational practices that respond to the COVID-19 crisis regarding healthcare sector resilience and describe best practices. Health sector authorities should consider applying the ?new mode of governance,? which refers to a policy not limited to a single approach with less hierarchy and formalism and with a flatter governance structure. Countries that have had more success in COVID-19 crisis suppression applied ?dynamic resilience? with decentralization in decision-making, a more important role of front-line healthcare providers, high transparency, and flexibility enabling continuous adaptation to rapidly changing conditions.
Thermodynamic analysis of combined power cycle, combining heat from a waste heat source with sub-cycles
Authors: Elbir Ahmet
Published: September 2023

Significantly increasing consumption and demand in conventional fossil energy
sources require energy sources to be more efficient and sustainable. In this
study, it is aimed to increase the efficiency of the systems by using
thermodynamic cycles from waste heat sources. The designed system is aimed
at increasing the efficiency of the system by adding sub-cycles of the
waste heat of a gas turbine. The results analyzed with the engineering
equation solver program, when all the cycles are combined, the system
energy efficiency is 75% and the total exergy efficiency is 24%. Brayton
cycle when the system is evaluated alone, the energy efficiency of the
system is 65%, the exergy efficiency is 14%. The S-CO2 cycle system when the
system is evaluated alone, the exergy efficiency is 23% and the exergy
efficiency is 11%. The ORC system when the system is evaluated alone, the
exergy efficiency is 19% and the exergy efficiency is 22%. Rankine system
when the system is evaluated alone, the exergy efficiency is 17% and the
exergy efficiency is 88%. Turbine inlet temperatures tend to decrease as the
exergy destruction in the system also affects the subcomponents.

Published: September 2023

The drying process in the textile industry is an expensive and laborious
process that requires a lot of energy. The main purpose of the drying
process is to provide maximum energy saving and energy efficiency at minimum
time and cost without compromising the quality and structural properties of
the material used. Since heat pumps are devices that can produce more heat
compared to the work they consume, energy consumption substantially reduce
is important. In drying processes, which are widely used in agriculture and
textile industry in our country. It is important to use a heat pump in terms
of energy saving. In this study, wool drying process in a heat-pump-assisted
dryer was investigated with fuzzy logic metods. The test material used was
wet wool, which is a fibrous material. The air velocities at the inlet of
the dryer were varied from 0.8 m/s to 1.5 m/s, while the material loading
ratio (material/dryer volume) ranged from 0.5 to 2.5. The temperature at the
inlet of the dryer were varied from 40?C to 90?C. In this study, a fuzzy
model was created to determine the effect of time, temperature, loading
ratio and air velocity on the drying rate by using the fuzzy logic method,
which is one of the artificial intelligence methods.

Published: September 2023

In this study, ceramic-metal composite material reinforced with additive
prepared from waste egg-shell was produced. Waste egg-shells were cleaned,
dried, ground and then sieved. The effects of egg-shell reinforcement ratio
(0%, 1.66%, 3.34%, 5%, and 6.66 % by volume) and sintering temperature (1400?C) applications on Fe-B4C ceramic-metal powders were tested. For this
purpose, tests such as ultrasonic test, hardness and density were applied to
the composite material, and finally, microstructural analysis was performed
on the composites by SEM application. The changes in the crystal structure
of the egg-shell after sintering were revealed by diffractograms analysis.
It was observed that the hardness, ultrasonic longitudinal and transverse
wave velocities also increased with the increase in the reinforcement
ratios of the egg-shell. Considering the 6.66% egg-shell addition to the
ceramic-metal composite mixture, in the light of the numerical data
obtained, 5091 m/s longitudinal wave velocity, 2809 m/s transverse wave
velocity, 204.12 Hv hardness value, 0.315 dB per mm longitudinal attenuation
and 0.214 dB per mm transverse attenuation values with gave the best
physical and mechanical properties. According to the test results obtained,
it was determined that it would be appropriate to use the egg-shell in the
production of composite materials and to characterize it with the
ultrasonic test method.
Experimental investigation of the effect of the use of nanoparticle additional biodiesel on fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in tractor using a coated engine
Authors: Ozer Salih , Haciyusufoglu Fatih , Vural Erdinc
Published: September 2023

This study focuses on reducing the fuel consumption and exhaust gas emission
values of the tractor used in the agricultural field. With the additive
added to the fuel and the coating of the tractor engine, the fuel
consumption values were reduced, and agricultural production costs were
tried to be reduced. On the other hand, exhaust emission values were also
tried to be reduced and thus a more environmentally friendly production
method was aimed to be adopted. For this reason, the cylinders of the
tractor engine were coated with Al2O3 + 13%TiO2 metal powders mixed by mass
using the plasma spray method. All experiments were repeated by attaching
these coated pistons to the engine. The fuel used in the experiments was
purchased from a commercial company and the nanoparticle (molybdenum)
additive was added to the biodiesel at the rates of 25 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm,
and 200 ppm by mass. The fuel mixtures obtained in the coated and uncoated
engine, when the engine is in the full throttle position, using the PTO load
test unit at 1000 rpm, 1200 rpm, 1400 rpm, 1600 rpm, 1800 rpm, and 2000 rpm.
It has been tested by loading at 2200 rpm, 2400 rpm, and 2600 rpm engine
speeds. Code for the Official Testing of Agricultural and Forestry Tractor
Performance standards were adhered to during all engine tests. The results
showed that coating the cylinders and adding nanoparticles into biodiesel
reduces the fuel consumption value, increases the exhaust gas temperature,
decreases HC, CO, and PM emissions, and increases NOx emissions.
Experimental investigation of level indicator errors caused by turbulence in vehicle fuel tanks
Authors: Belli Buse , Atalay Oner
Published: September 2023

According to the studies and customer feedback, the measurement results of
the level sensors are reflected on the indicators approximately correctly.
However, instantaneous erroneous measurements might occur in special cases
(i.e. hill-downhill, rough terrain, vehicle acceleration, and deceleration).
Existing fuel level measurement sensors are affected much by external
factors because of their design (random vibration, sudden acceleration,
vacuum because of sudden suction, etc.). Any unsteadiness that may occur in
the fuel tank and the sensitivity of the fuel level measurement accordingly
are investigated in this thesis study. Protected and unprotected fuel level
sensors were tested under the same conditions by placing 25 L, 50 L, 75 L,
and 90 L of liquid in the tank. Different unsteadiness speeds were applied
to each volume to achieve the same unsteadiness effect. It has been observed
that the changes between the maximum and minimum output resistance
Decelerate from 30% levels to 2% for the unprotected type. As the speed
increased from 10 rpm to 25 rpm, this difference became even more
pronounced. In this way, it is affected less by the unsteadiness effect and
the level measurement is made more sensitively.
Enhancing flow structure in heat exchangers analysis of dynamic and thermal air-flow behavior with perforated and inclined baffles
Authors: Alqahtani Sultan , Alshehery Sultan , Bayram Mustafa , Ikumapayi Omolayo , Akinlabi Esther , Akinlabi Stephen , Menni Younes
Published: September 2023

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the dynamic and thermal
behavior of air-flow within a heat exchanger equipped with two distinctive
baffles: a perforated baffle and a partially inclined baffle. The influence
of hole positioning in the perforated baffle on the overall performance of
the heat exchanger is thoroughly investigated through a systematic
examination of temperature curves at varying Reynolds number values. The
results demonstrate significant enhancements in flow characteristics
attributed to the presence of these baffles. The flow structure exhibits
prominent main currents across the gaps and secondary currents through the
holes. The inclusion of these barriers leads to significant deformations
and the emergence of well-developed recycling cells in the form of vortices.
Both the perforated and inclined baffles effectively reduce pressure values
on their frontal regions, thereby mitigating friction losses. Furthermore,
the introduction of a perforation in the lower part of the baffle induces a
more turbulent flow compared to the other cases. This is attributed to the
expansion of the recirculating cells, resulting in improved fluid mixing and
subsequent enhancement of thermal energy gain. These findings offer
valuable insights into the design and optimization of heat exchangers,
enabling improved performance and efficiency in various engineering
applications.
The 3-D optimization of an axial mixer propeller through high fidelity simulations

Published: September 2023

Homogeneous mixing is an important process quality indicator in biogas
fermenters for introducing fresh organic feed material to certain bacteria
groups such as methanogenic bacteria for anaerobic digestion. Energy
consumption for mixing processes is one of the highest operational costs in
biogas plants. Thus, it is crucial to carefully consider the energy
expenditure per generated thrust (the first performance metric of an axial
mixer) for a biogas mixer, since biogas plants are considered as a net
carbon zero energy plant. There are several different types of mixers.
Axial mixers both high speed and low speed together with paddle mixers are
most common among various types of mixers used in fermenter tanks. In this
study it is planned to improve conventional axial biogas mixer efficiency
using computer aided engineering tools for design and optimization. This
goal will be achieved by using a parametric design strategy for blade
geometry together with the open source CFD analysis suite OpenFOAM for
measuring performance metrics (i.e. power, torque, and thrust). The most
efficient design will be chosen from a set of design candidates residing
inside a reasonably large parametric state space, via maximizing the thrust
to power ratio.

Gut Microbiota of Salmo trutta fario and Oncorhynchus mykiss: Implications for Fish Health and Aquaculture Management
Authors: Kumar Rakesh
Published: September 2023

This review compares the gut microbiota of two economically significant freshwater fish species from India’s Himalayas, Salmo trutta fario and Oncorhynchus mykiss. Knowing the composition and variety of gut microbiota in these two species is crucial to their health and productivity. Recent sequencing advances have helped to find and characterize different microbial communities in numerous habitats, including fish gut microbiota. The gut microbiota of these two fish has been compared using Himalayan literature. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria dominate both species’ gut microbiota, but their relative abundance differs. S. trutta fario has a more metabolically varied gut microbiota than O. mykiss.
