Published: March 2024

Although fire is a natural phenomenon in the dynamics of some biomes around the world, it can threaten the biodiversity of certain ecosystems. Climate change and the expansion of anthropogenic activities have drastically increased the occurrence of large-scale burnings worldwide. The 2020 fire events in the Pantanal marked a historically unprecedented record, burning an area of approximately 40,000 km2. However, how fires affect the local wildlife has yet to be evaluated. The aim of this study was to investigate the recovery of the avifauna in the Pantanal of Mato Grosso by comparing data selected from a previous study conducted between 2014 and 2016 with data collected in burned areas nine to twelve months after the fire. We compared diversity and community composition, investigated the influence of species trait foraging guild, foraging strata, and body mass on their response to fire, and complemented it with species’ individual responses. Bird richness and Shannon diversity were lower in burned areas, and the composition significantly varied between burned and unburned areas. The species’ response toward burned and unburned areas was significantly mediated by their traits, with smaller, piscivorous, omnivorous, ground and water, and midstory to canopy species being the most sensitive toward the environmental changes caused by the fire. Thirty-three species showed a negative response toward burned areas, but 46 species showed the opposite response, and 24 species were similarly abundant in unburned and burned areas. The present study is the first evaluation of the response of birds to the extreme fire events in the Pantanal and provides valuable insight into the recovery and resilience of local avifauna.

Computed tomography (CT) arthrography is a quickly available imaging modality to investigate elbow disorders. Its excellent spatial resolution enables the detection of subtle pathologic changes of intra-articular structures, which makes this technique extremely valuable in a joint with very tiny chondral layers and complex anatomy of articular capsule and ligaments. Radiation exposure has been widely decreased with the novel CT scanners, thereby increasing the indications of this examination. The main applications of CT arthrography of the elbow are the evaluation of capsule, ligaments, and osteochondral lesions in both the settings of acute trauma, degenerative changes, and chronic injury due to repeated microtrauma and overuse. In this review, we discuss the normal anatomic findings, technical tips for injection and image acquisition, and pathologic findings that can be encountered in CT arthrography of the elbow, shedding light on its role in the diagnosis and management of different orthopedic conditions. We aspire to offer a roadmap for the integration of elbow CT arthrography into routine clinical practice, fostering improved patient outcomes and a deeper understanding of elbow pathologies.

(1) Recombinant protein production in mammalian cells is either based on transient transfection processes, often inefficient and underlying high batch-to-batch variability, or on laborious generation of stable cell lines. Alternatively, BacMam, a transduction process using the baculovirus, can be employed. (2) Six transfecting agents were compared to baculovirus transduction in terms of transient and stable protein expression characteristics of the model protein ACE2-eGFP using HEK293-6E, CHO-K1, and Vero cell lines. Furthermore, process optimization such as expression enhancement using sodium butyrate and TSA or baculovirus purification was assessed. (3) Baculovirus transduction efficiency was superior to all transfection agents for all cell lines. Transduced protein expression was moderate, but an 18-fold expression increase was achieved using the enhancer sodium butyrate. Ultracentrifugation of baculovirus from a 3.5 L bioreactor significantly improved the transduction efficiency and protein expression. Stable cell lines were obtained with each baculovirus transduction, yet stable cell line generation after transfection was highly unreliable. (4) This study demonstrated the superiority of the BacMam platform to standard transfections. The baculovirus efficiently transduced an array of cell lines both transiently and stably and achieved the highest efficiency for all tested cell lines. The feasibility of the scale-up of baculovirus production was demonstrated and the possibility of baculovirus purification was successfully explored.
Investigating the Value of Parallel Pipeline Projects for Water Supply: A Contingent Valuation Study in South Korea

Published: March 2024

Parallel pipeline projects can contribute to ensuring a safe and stable water supply and preventing or mitigating losses caused by water pipeline accidents. However, because these projects require a significant investment, feasibility tests are essential prior to their implementation. Considering the public nature of the water supply, the direct beneficiaries of the project and people from other regions can place value on such projects. Thus, this study estimates the value of parallel pipeline projects using the contingent valuation method (CVM) and the swing weighting technique. We constructed two contingent valuation surveys: one asking about the willingness to pay (WTP) for a parallel pipeline project within the respondent’s region and the other asking about the WTP for a project outside the region. The results show that the annual WTP per household for projects within and outside the region was 113,669 KRW (87.98 USD) and 5493 KRW (4.25 USD), respectively. These results indicate that the value perceived by people from outside the region should be considered. Additionally, the results from the swing weighting technique and WTP analysis show that the values that respondents generally consider important and those that can leverage the overall project value are distinct. This study’s results provide insights into the implementation of parallel pipeline projects in South Korea. Furthermore, this study’s analytical framework can be used for the valuation of other public infrastructure projects.

Published: March 2024

Une tablette de plomb portant une defixio en latin, datable de la deuxième moitié du Ier siècle a. C., a été découverte en 2017 dans la nécropole nord-ouest du site originel de Baelo à La Silla del Papa (Tarifa, Cadix). Elle y fut vraisemblablement déposée après le déplacement de la ville au début du règne d’Auguste. Ce document met en scène des esclaves portant des noms grecs, dont un berger et un palefrenier, ainsi probablement qu’un usurier. Il témoigne, dans le domaine spécifique de la magie, d’une solide implantation de la langue grecque dans le sud de l’Hispanie à la fin de l’époque républicaine, à côté du latin qui devenait de plus en plus courant, au moins à l’écrit.
Le concours des Ptoia à l’époque hellénistique : une affaire civique, pambéotienne, fédérale ou panhellénique ?
Authors: Müller Christel
Published: March 2024

The confederations of the Greek world included on their territory various sanctuaries which the traditional classification generally divides into local and federal sanctuaries. Boeotia is no exception to this rule, as can be seen from the distinction made for the three federal sanctuaries considered “ official” : the sanctuaries of Poseidon Onchestios, Athena Alalkomeneia and Athena Itônia, where the documents relating to the koinon were displayed. However, certain Boeotian hiera fall outside this rigid classification, as they pertain to several levels simultaneously : civic, Pambeotian and even federal in some respects, not to mention a panhellenic dimension. This is the case of the sanctuary of Apollo Ptoios on the territory of the city of Akraiphia, where the Hellenistic koinon plays an important role in the organization of the Ptoia contest. We follow here the different stages of development of this competition, with the first attestations in 221/ 220 BC, then the revival of the years 120-110 at a time when the koinon no longer existed but when the organizing city, Akraiphia, sought to renew links with its sister cities by invoking their syngeneia, and finally in the middle of the 1st century BC, with the restoration of the koinon, especially in its territorial structure into districts. Specifically, a very damaged decree from Haliartos (end of the 3rd c.) is re-read here (SEG 32, 456) : are eliminated the mention of “ horsemen” and thus the idea of a horse race at the Ptoia to show that it is only a question of sacrifices in this inscription.
Le « Nouveau théâtre » : une nouvelle inscription de Magnésie du Méandre
Authors: Capelle Jeanne
Published: March 2024

This paper presents a new inscription from Magnesia on the Meander in honour of a stephanephorus who, among other things, financed the πεδάλιον of the ‘ new theatre’ around the middle of the 2nd c. A. D. The extent to which the building in question, most probably the one O. Bingöl published as “ theatron”, may have constituted a new theatre in relation to the first is examined. It turns out that the so-called theatron is a proper theatre of the Greek type ; with its plan derived from that of the neighbouring theatre of Miletus, it is even a rare example of architectural imitation. Its construction, suspended after having been started ex nihilo, which is exceptional in Asia Minor, gives us the uncluttered image of a new conception of the theatre that progressively developed in the Imperial period through the renovation of ancient buildings in the region. This novelty combined morphological evolution, adaptation to new uses, but also linguistic creativity, πεδάλιον corresponding to the Latin podium. That the “ new theatre”, despite the ambition of the Magnetians, was left unfinished by them, can be understood in the context of the urban and agonistic history of the city in the Imperial period, and more broadly in the context of the unprecedented construction and festival boom in the great Ionian cities of Smyrna, Ephesus and Miletus.

Authors: Tya Dimas Adi , Yulianto Endro , Sumber Sumber
Published: March 2024

Abdominal respiratory sensor is a sensor used to detect sleep apnea that is specifically for neonates, this sensor is specifically for neonates because the use of this sensor does not require a voltage input to activate the sensor. In the absence of voltage input so as not to disturb the heart rhythm in neonates. When the sensor is no longer elastic, the pressure difference generated by the sensor will be unstable so that the sensor cannot work optimally. With these conditions, the period of use of the sensor needs to be known how durable the sensor is when it is used on patients so that the sensor can maximally detect the occurrence of apnea in neonates. How many times have you been in apnea. This study uses an Arduino microcontroller to process the pressure value and RR value generated by the stomach sensor and the MPX5010dp pressure sensor. the research method used is to use a simulator to analyze the combination of abdominal sensors and pressure sensors to monitor apnea. If viewed based on the average error, the error value in the RR 10bpm setting is ±0.185%, the RR 15 setting is ±0.245%, and the setting RR 20bpm is ±0.383%. From the average error value, it can be said that the higher the RR setting value, the higher the average error for each decrease in pressure output. it can be concluded that the performance of the use of the Abdominal Respiratory Sensor and Pressure Sensor on the Apnea Monitoring module functions well in detecting RR according to the settings on the simulator for 3-day monitoring. The development that can be done in this research is to use a more sensitive pressure sensor so that the results obtained are more stable and make the module display more attractive.

Published: March 2024

PIP (Peak Inspiratory Pressure) is the highest level of pressure exerted into the lungs by the ventilator during inhalation. This PIP parameter is important for monitoring because inappropriate PIP values ​​can lead to fatal errors in patients. PIP should be kept below 20 to 25 cm H2O each time ventilation. This PIP control can be a value as well as a waveform. This waveform display is also used to validate the ventilator output. Checking the output on this ventilator is used using a ventilator tester. The purpose of this research is to get the accuracy and precision of the sensor to display the waveform and PIP value of the ventilator output. The procedure of this research is to use MPX5010GP to detect the pressure value on the ventilator and then display the value and waveform of the PIP. From this study, the results of the measurement of accuracy and precision from the MPX5010 sensor to detect PIP and display a waveform graph are said to be good. This is because the highest error value is ±6.27% at the 15 CmH20 setting. While the value of the largest standard deviation at the 15 CmH20 setting is 0.837 and the greatest uncertainty value at the 15 CmH20 setting is 0.033. Then, the largest correction value is found in the 25 CmH20 setting, which is 1.56. PIF monitoring is carried out to maximize service to patients and maximize ventilator care.

Published: March 2024

Candida albicans is a commensal on the oral mucosal surfaces of healthy individuals but can be pathogenic in immunocompromised individuals. The germ tube test is an inexpensive, faster, and easier method used to identify and differentiate it from other yeast species. Generally, the test is carried out using serum as the medium. Plasma overall has the same characteristics as serum and differs only in the content of clotting factors. In addition, plasma is easier to obtain than serum in most healthcare services. This study aims to demonstrate three types of plasma as alternative media for germ tube test. CPDA (Citrate Phosphate Dextrose Adenine), EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic), and Sodium Citrate plasma were compared to serum in producing of germ tubes. Each plasma and serum was tested in five repetitions. The experimental method was carried out in Mycology Laboratory at Health Polytechnic of Jambi. The data were observed based on the germ tube formation time and analyzed with one-way ANOVA test. The result showed the lengths of germ tube formation time were significantly different. Although CPDA plasma was also significantly different compared to serum, it showed the average time which is at the minimum limit of the incubation time range that is recommended in the standard protocol of the test. This study concluded that plasma can be used as a substitute for serum in the germ tube tes, especially CPDA plasma, as it is faster in formating time, easier to obtain, and considered safer to use than others.

The method used were health education (HE) program about walking exercise, demonstration and redemonstration of walking exercise, as well as measuring vital sign (blood pressure) of the elderly before and after walking exercise. The instruments used were knowledge questionnaire, walking exercise observation sheet, and vital sign observation sheet. Parameters measured were the level of knowledge and blood pressure. Participants were elderly people living in a private nursing home in Surabaya (n=82). The majority were elderly women (79.3%) who were in the old category, namely 75-90 years old (59.8%). Before the HE program, the majority had insufficient knowledge about walking exercise (43.9%), then this level was increased became a sufficient level in the majority after the HE program (56.1%). There were 26 elderly participated in the walking exercise redemonstration (31.7%), all of whom were hypertensive. Before walking exercise, the Mean systolic blood pressure was 142.96 mmHg and the Mean diastolic was 75.92 mmHg. After walking exercise, 100% elderly experienced a decrease in systolic blood pressure with a Mean of 122.73 mmHg and diastolic with a Mean of 68.42 mmHg. There were only 7.7% elderly who did not experience a decrease in diastolic blood pressure after walking exercise. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test showed that walking exercise had a significant effect on systolic (p=0.000) and diastolic (p=0.002) blood pressure in hypertensive elderly. Walking exercise is a very appropriate sport for the elderly.

Peach rootstock and scion cultivars are selected in breeding programs considering resistance to pests and diseases, salt tolerance, drought tolerance, and vigor. However, rootstock tolerance to aluminum (Al), which is markedly present in tropical and subtropical soils of the world, is not considered. Thus, it is essential to define potential markers that can contribute to the selection of Al-resistant or Al-tolerant peach rootstocks. The objective of this study was to identify Al-tolerant peach tree rootstock cultivars and clonal selections using physiological and oxidative stress variables. A completely randomized experimental design was used in a 13 (rootstock cultivars and clonal selections) × 2 (with and without Al) factorial arrangement, with three replications. Nursery peach trees of own-rooted ‘BRS Mandinho’ (without rootstock) and nursery trees of ‘BRS Mandinho’ grafted on different rootstock cultivars and clonal selections were grown in a hydroponic system, consisting of two treatments, with and without 100 mg L
-1
of Al. Dry biomass, photosynthetic variables, pigment concentration, hydrogen peroxide content, membrane lipid peroxidation, and activity of the antioxidant enzymes were evaluated. The total dry matter production of the own-rooted ‘BRS Mandinho’ trees and the SS-CHI-09-39 and SS-CHI-09-40 selections is affected by the Al presence, representing a decline of 35.4, 37.2, and 24.4 %, respectively, compared to the treatment with Al. The highest total dry matter production in Al presence was observed for the ‘Sharpe’ rootstock. ‘Capdeboscq’, DB-SEN-09-23, FB-ESM-09-43, JB-ESM-09-13, JAH-MAC-09-77, SAS-SAU-09-71, and VEH-GRA-09-55 rootstock selections are tolerant to Al. The use of physiological and biochemical variables shows potential for the selection of clonal rootstocks tolerant or resistant to Al.

Published: March 2024

Productive zakat is currently a growing trend among the people of Aceh. Zakat is also a social activity that can be a solution to the current poverty. Previous studies in several places regarding productive zakat empowerment were still not optimal due to several obstacles that had to be addressed. This study aims to determine the implementation and implementation of productive zakat empowerment with the village zakat model in Aceh Besar District. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The data was collected by interviewing using purposive sampling technique. Samples taken are Mustahiq, Baitul Mal Institute, and Islamic Sharia Service. The empowerment of productive zakat is measured using three indicators of zakat distribution, village feasibility, and business results from productive zakat. Based on the results of this study, productive zakat with the village-based zakat model is a positive activity that can lead to an independent attitude for the community in managing businesses and improving the welfare of the less fortunate and increasing their standard of living.

Nagroda Nobla w dziedzinie medycyny lub fizjologii przypadła w roku 2023 biochemiczce Katalin Karokó i immunologowi Drew Weissmanowi za opracowanie sposobu modyfikacji nukleozydów budujących nić mRNA w taki sposób, by wprowadzenie jej do komórki nie wywoływało stanu zapalnego, lecz pozwalało na efektywną syntezę zakodowanego w nich białka. Stało się to podstawą do opracowania szczepionek typu mRNA przeciw SARS-SoV-2, które uratowały miliony istot ludzkich przed ciężką chorobą lub śmiercią z powodu COVID-19.
Memory-Efficient Interpolatory Projection Techniques for the Stabilization of Incompressible Navier-Stokes Flows

Published: March 2024

In this article, we are proposing an updated form of Krylov subspace-based interpolatory projection techniques for the stabilization of incompressible Navier-Stokes flows. In the proposed techniques, we utilize the reduced-order modelling approach implicitly, where reduced-order matrices need not be gathered explicitly. To estimate the aimed optimal feedback matrix, only the factored solution of the desired continuous-time algebraic Riccati equation (CARE) needs to be stored through the classical eigenvalue decomposition. The sparse structure of the target systems will remain invariant within the matrix-vector operations for generating the bases of the projector matrices through Krylov subspace techniques, where a cohesive projection scheme will be incorporated to ensure the potency of the projector matrices. So, the proposed techniques will be feasible for memory allocation and enhance the rapid convergence of the simulation. Analysis of the target systems’ transient characteristics, such as eigenvalues and step-responses, will be used to ascertain the competence and reliability of the proposed techniques. Necessary computation will be done numerically through MATLAB. Stabilization of the transient behaviors and minimization of the simulation time are the prime concerns in this work. Eventually, by comparing with the contemporary techniques the advancement of the proposed techniques will be confirmed.
A Geography of Hope? Decolonizing Space Through the Storytelling and Place-Making of a Festival
Authors: McClinchey Kelley A.
Published: March 2024

This study explores the potential for Caribbean festivals through storytelling and place-making to decolonize everyday spaces. It investigates the potential for festivals to transform places through festivals’ decolonial cultural and creative resources. The article begins with
a review of relevant literature on festivals, storytelling, and place-making. Junkanoo in The Bahamas is presented as a case with which to explore how storytelling as counternarrative to colonial legacies and the neocolonialism of tourism can reaffirm the importance of the festival to place.
While there are both placemaking (top-down approach) and place-making (bottom-up approach) processes at work for Junkanoo, passionate community members and cultural leaders provide continued agency alongside powerful placemaking structures. Two alternative conceptual models of place-making
and placemaking and possible influences on everyday spatial geographies are presented. The conclusion offers a framework for continued theory development and practice in the decolonization of place through festival storytelling. Place-making with local storytelling enhances strategies for
community development through the inclusion of underrepresented communities, especially African descendent populations, for developing more equitable frameworks for heritage justice.
