Studies on age profile of Common carp, Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758) from the Tons River, India
Authors: Mishra Neeti
Published: March 2023

Heavy fishing affects the population by the exploited section of the stock in riverine water bodies. Cyprinus carpio is very frequently cultured in the Ganga basin especially middle and lower stretches of the river due to its plasticity nature (survival rate), fast growth rate, high market demand, consumer preference and very simply availability of seed (example fry and fingerlings). C. carpio is highly adaptable to a suite of environmental conditions. Age composition, age and growth of C. carpio were studied during February 2019 to 2020 January from fish landing centre at Sirsa, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The hard part, key scales were studied for estimation of age and growth in the present study because of easy availability. A total of 548 specimens in length ranges between 97 to 687 mm and age classes of 0+ to 9+ were estimated in the river. The fish attained mean length of 203, 325, 413, 478, 529, 565, 594, 621 and 643 mm, respectively at the end of 1+ to 9+ years of the life cycle. The maximum growth was observed in first year with 203 mm of the life span. The result also indicated that the age composition and growth rate of C. carpio in the invaded waters of the Tons River is very appropriate to the fishes.

Published: March 2023

A fracture is a break in the continuity of the bone, bone tissue, or cartilage which is generally caused by force. The operative treatment in fracture cases is Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF). Patients after ORIF installation often have psychological problems. One of them is self-concept, namely body image, self-identity, self-ideal, and self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between self-concept and body image in ORIF patients at Meuraxa Hospital Banda Aceh, the relationship between self-esteem and body image in ORIF patients, the relationship between self-identity and body image in ORIF patients, the relationship between self-role and body image in ORIF patients. This study uses the Chi-Square correlation method with = 0.05. The results of this study showed that P-value = 0.000 <0.05 so the Ho hypothesis was rejected, meaning that there was a significant relationship between self-concept and body image in ORIF patients at Meuraxa Hospital Banda Aceh.

Os policultivos agroecológicos beneficiam a pedofauna e melhoram a qualidade do solo, atuando na ciclagem de nutrientes e decomposição de matéria orgânica. Assim, têm-se como hipótese que os policultivos promovem um ambiente propício a pedofauna assemelhando-se à mata nativa. Objetivou-se avaliar composição, frequência, abundância e diversidade de grupos que compõem a meso e macrofauna edáfica em sistemas de policultivos agroecológicos, utilizando área de sistema de vegetação natural como comparativo. Foram instaladas sete armadilhas do tipo pitfall em quatro áreas de policultivos de diferentes anos e em uma de vegetação nativa de caatinga em Choró-CE. Os organismos coletados foram, separados, quantificados e classificados em grandes grupos taxonômicos e em grupos funcionais. Foram calculados frequência, abundância e índices ecológicos. Os valores de abundância e riqueza permaneceram semelhantes em todas as áreas e nos dois períodos sazonais, sendo que no período chuvoso os policultivos favoreceram a diversidade e uniformidade da pedofauna, sendo semelhantes ou melhores que a condição de vegetação nativa, enquanto no período seco, a área de vegetação nativa demonstrou uma maior diversidade, e uniformidade em comparação às áreas de policultivo, devido à presença de cobertura nativa do solo.

False killer whales (FKWs; Pseudorca crassidens) are found in deep waters of temperate and tropical oceans worldwide. This species is considered near threatened and global populationsâ€™ trends are unknown although there is evidence of decline of various populations. The mass stranding of cetaceans remains an intriguing event and often the cause(s) are unclear or poorly investigated. In Brazil, cetacean mass strandings have been recorded yet they have not been investigated. In this study, we aimed to report the epidemiologic features of a mass stranding event involving 30 live FKWs occurred in northeastern Brazil in 2013. Releasing attempts and posterior monitoring data indicated successful outcome for 24 of 30 FKWs. Postmortem pathologic investigations confirmed live-stranding stress response and intestinal (Bolbosoma sp.) and otic (Stenurus sp.) endoparasitism. Toxicologic analyzes detected high concentrations of total mercury in liver correlating with liver damage, as indicated by elevated transaminases. In this mass stranding, key factors were early notification, organizational and operational framework, trained and sufficient personnel, resources and equipment, government support, and strategy and decision making. These results underscore the benefits of a rapid marine mammal network response, the importance of integrative multidisciplinary investigations, and set baseline information for mass strandings of cetaceans in Brazil.

Published: March 2023

O debate sobre o patrimônio cultural e o desenvolvimento territorial sustentável tem sido fundamental para a criação de estratégias que garantam não apenas desenvolvimento econômico, mas, sobretudo, desenvolvimento socioambiental. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar se o segmento do patrimônio cultural em Florianópolis, a partir da dimensão institucional (leis, decretos e projetos), tem sido um eixo articulador de projetos inovadores de desenvolvimento territorial sustentável. O estudo aqui apresentado tem como base a abordagem do desenvolvimento territorial sustentável. Trata-se de pesquisa predominantemente qualitativa, com abordagens de caráter exploratório e descritivo, que utilizou a bibliometria e a análise documental para a coleta de dados. O mapeamento realizado em documentos oficiais do município apontou a importância, para o patrimônio cultural, tanto da conservação ambiental quanto do investimento em infraestrutura. Além disso, aspectos como os relacionados com o resgate da dimensão sociocultural do território e o despertar do sentimento de pertencimento também estiveram presentes. Todavia esses mecanismos de planejamento territorial ainda tangenciam a abordagem do desenvolvimento territorial sustentável, pois não têm buscado inserir a problemática da sustentabilidade no centro da gestão e do planejamento municipal.

Authors: Mendes Marcela Lopes , Gonçalves Daniel Bertoli
Published: March 2023

Apesar da técnica de silvicultura ter contribuído para a redução dos impactos ambientais relacionados ao consumo de madeira pela indústria de móveis, a geração de resíduos nas industrias continua gerando preocupações, como é o caso das sobras de painéis de Fibras de Média Densidadade – MDF, que possuem resinas sintéticas em sua composição, e tem elevado potencial de causar impactos ambientais. Com base no conceito de economia circular, que tem como princípio extrair o mínimo de recursos da natureza e reaproveitar o máximo possível dos materiais, este trabalho procurou desenvolver uma alternativa para a redução desses impactos. Para isso foi realizada uma análise comparativa entre informações coletadas na literatura e em uma pesquisa de campo realizada em cinco indústrias moveleiras de pequeno e médio porte da região Sul e Sudeste do Brasil. Como resultado o trabalho apresenta uma proposta para o reuso dos resíduos por meio do ecodesign de novos produtos, com potencial para gerar novos negócios, empregos e renda no setor.

Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Although the relationships among physical disability, mood disorders, and pain are well described in multiple sclerosis (MS), little is known about whether those symptoms are associated with sleep disturbances.

METHODS

Forty-six patients with MS experiencing pain participated. Sleep was indirectly measured by assessing rest-activity rhythm via actigraphy: interdaily stability, intradaily variability, and relative amplitude. Pain was assessed using visual and verbal analog scales, mood by the Beck Depression Inventory and Symptom Checklist-90, and physical disability by the Expanded Disability Status Scale.

RESULTS

Incorporating mood, pain, and physical disability into 1 regression model resulted in a significant association with interdaily stability.

CONCLUSIONS

Compared with intradaily variability and relative amplitude, interdaily stability seems to be the most vulnerable actigraphy variable for mood disturbances, pain, and physical disabilities.

Published: March 2023

DNA repair deficiencies in cancers may result in characteristic mutational patterns, as exemplified by deficiency of BRCA1/2 and efficacy prediction for PARP inhibitors. We trained and evaluated predictive models for loss-of-function (LOF) of 145 individual DNA damage response genes based on genome-wide mutational patterns, including structural variants, indels, and base-substitution signatures. We identified 24 genes whose deficiency could be predicted with good accuracy, including expected mutational patterns for BRCA1/2, MSH3/6, TP53, and CDK12 LOF variants. CDK12 is associated with tandem duplications, and we here demonstrate that this association can accurately predict gene deficiency in prostate cancers (area under the receiver operator characteristic curve = 0.97). Our novel associations include mono- or biallelic LOF variants of ATRX, IDH1, HERC2, CDKN2A, PTEN, and SMARCA4, and our systematic approach yielded a catalogue of predictive models, which may provide targets for further research and development of treatment, and potentially help guide therapy.

Published: March 2023

In smart cities, the fast increase in automobiles has caused congestion, pollution, and disruptions in the transportation of commodities. Each year, there are more fatalities and cases of permanent impairment due to everyday road accidents. To control traffic congestion, provide secure data transmission also detecting accidents the IoT-based Traffic Management System is used. To identify, gather, and send data, autonomous cars, and intelligent gadgets are equipped with an IoT-based ITM system with a group of sensors. The transport system is being improved via machine learning. In this work, an Adaptive Traffic Management system (ATM) with an accident alert sound system (AALS) is used for managing traffic congestion and detecting the accident. For secure traffic data transmission Secure Early Traffic-Related EveNt Detection (SEE-TREND) is used. The design makes use of several scenarios to address every potential problem with the transportation system. The suggested ATM model continuously modifies the timing of traffic signals based on the volume of traffic and anticipated movements from neighboring junctions. By progressively allowing cars to pass green lights, it considerably reduces traveling time. It also relieves traffic congestion by creating a seamless transition. The results of the trial show that the suggested ATM system fared noticeably better than the traditional traffic-management method and will be a leader in transportation planning for smart-city-based transportation systems. The suggested ATM-ALTREND solution provides secure traffic data transmission that decreases traffic jams and vehicle wait times, lowers accident rates, and enhances the entire travel experience.

Published: March 2023

Background

The insertion/deletion polymorphism (InDel), an ideal forensic genetic marker with a low spontaneous mutation rate and small amplification product fragments, is widely distributed in the genome, combining the advantages of STR and SNP genetic markers. The X-chromosome has high application value in complex paternity testing, and it is an excellent system for evaluating population admixture and studying evolutionary anthropology. However, further research is needed on the population genetics of X-chromosome InDels (X-InDels).

Methods

In this article, a system composed of 38 X-InDel loci was utilized to analyse and evaluate the forensic parameters of the Guizhou Han population in order to explore its forensic application efficiency.

Results

The results showed that expected heterozygosities spanned from 0.0189 to 0.5715, and the cumulative power of discrimination of the 32 X-InDels and three linkage blocks was 0.9999999954 and 0.999999999999741 for males and females, respectively. The combined mean exclusion chance of these loci for trios and duos is 0.999999 and 0.999747, respectively. Multiple methods like principal component analysis, Fst genetic distance, and phylogenetic reconstruction were employed for dissecting the genetic structure of the Guizhou Han population by comparing it with previously reported populations. As expected, the studied Han population displayed relatively close genetic affinities with the East Asian populations. At the same time, there were obvious genetic differentiations between the Guizhou Han population and other continental populations that were discerned, especially for the African populations.

Conclusions

This study further verified the applicability of 38 X-InDels for human personal identification and kinship analyses of Han Chinese, and also showed the application potential of X-InDels in population genetics.
Transcriptome analysis and exploration of genes involved in the biosynthesis of secoiridoids in Gentiana rhodantha
Authors: Zhang Ting , Wang Miaomiao , Li Zhaoju , Wu Xien , Liu Xiaoli
Published: March 2023

Gentiana rhodantha is a medicinally important perennial herb used as traditional Chinese and ethnic medicines. Secoiridoids are one of the major bioactive compounds in G. rhodantha. To better understand the secoiridoid biosynthesis pathway, we generated transcriptome sequences from four organs (root, leaf, stem and flower), followed by the de novo sequence assembly. We verified 8-HGO (8-hydroxygeraniol oxidoreductase), which may encode key enzymes of the secoiridoid biosynthesis by qRT-PCR. The mangiferin, swertiamarin and loganic acid contents in root, stem, leaf, and flower were determined by HPLC. The results showed that there were 47,871 unigenes with an average length of 1,107.38 bp. Among them, 1,422 unigenes were involved in 25 standard secondary metabolism-related pathways in the KEGG database. Furthermore, we found that 1,005 unigenes can be divided into 66 transcription factor (TF) families, with no family members exhibiting significant organ-specificity. There were 54 unigenes in G. rhodantha that encoded 17 key enzymes of the secoiridoid biosynthetic pathway. The qRT-PCR of the 8-HGO and HPLC results showed that the relative expression and the mangiferin, swertiamarin, and loganic acid contents of the aerial parts were higher than in the root. Six types of SSR were identified by SSR analysis of unigenes: mono-nucleoside repeat SSR, di-nucleoside repeat SSR, tri-nucleoside repeat SSR, tetra-nucleoside repeat SSR, penta-nucleoside repeat SSR, and hexa-nucleoside repeat SSR.

The Intelligentization of Second Language Acquisition Assisted Cognitive Linguistics Based on Internet Dynamic Information Network
Authors: Shi Wei
Published: March 2023

This paper combs the basic concepts of dynamic system theory in detail, including the overall connectivity, nonlinearity, self-organization and attractive state of the system, and the sensitivity and difference of the initial state. And from the neurophysiological level, the hot issues of second language acquisition are discussed briefly, so as to provide a new idea for the research of second language acquisition. It is proposed that cognitive linguistics can provide coherent and appropriate theoretical guidance and method reference for second language acquisition. The deepening of second language acquisition research can enrich and test the theoretical assumptions of cognitive linguistics, and promote the continuous maturity and improvement of the theoretical system. Through the statistical analysis of the pre-test and post-test of the CET4 simulated test scores of the two groups of students, it is found that this training mode is helpful to improve the students' English ability.
Application of Cognitive Linguistics Theory and New Interpretation of Second Language Teaching
Authors: Wei Shi
Published: March 2023

Application of cognitive linguistics theory and new interpretation of second language teaching studied. The concept of language acquisition based on cognitive linguistics theory overcomes the limitations of Universal Grammar at the theoretical level, and has a strong explanatory power to the essence of language and language learning. It has been favored by many scholars in the field of linguistics. The more frequently a learner is exposed to a certain construction in language input, the easier it is to solidify this construction in the memory of the brain. Thus, the distribution of semantic-semantic mappings in L2 input largely affects acquisition trajectories. Hence, this paper gives the new suggestions regarding the traditional study patterns for the improvement.

Authors: ZHU Aimin
Published: March 2023

With the rapid development of big data and 5G communication, the management of agricultural and livestock manure resources in rural areas has also embarked on a high-tech monitoring and platform design route. First, starting from the impact of pig manure on the environment, it analyzes how to use real-time monitoring images to semantically analyze the management and resource utilization of pig manure. According to the needs of building an intelligent behavior analysis system for agricultural storage ponds, first of all, establish a system that can not only express the purpose of use by farmers, but It can also express the direction of the construction of modern rural areas. Finally, based on the target positioning, identification and tracking in the dynamic scene, the deep processing and comprehensive development and utilization of feces are carried out, and the environmental management and resource development are combined. The results show that: from the current situation, the resource utilization of chicken manure mainly has two aspects, one is as feed, the other is as fertilizer; the resource utilization of pig manure and cow manure is suitable for chemical fertilizer utilization.

A survey was undertaken in Busia County, Kenya to obtain data for the situational analysis of the cassava value chain. Two hundred and forty-five households were sampled and interviewed in the months of August and September 2021 in Teso South Sub-County, Busia County. Descriptive statistics methods were used to analyse data using Statistical Product Service Solutions (IBM SPSS) version 20 Software. The results showed that the average land size in the study area was 2.7 acres. The mean land allocated to cassava was 0.25 acres. Those interviewed grew cassava mainly for subsistence while the surplus is marketed. Results also showed farmers preferred to grow local varieties (68.4%), improved varieties (21.6%) and a combination of improved and local varieties (10%). The adoption of improved cassava varieties in the study sites was still low. Most of the farmers obtained their income from on-farm sources (71.8%). The major source of information was the farmer-to-farmer extension approach with approximately 66% of respondents obtaining information from other farmers.  The farmers like growing local varieties as they have traits that make them preferred to the farmers. The adoption of the improved varieties was still low. More needs to be done on both production; processing and marketing if cassava is to contribute to the food security and income of the households in Busia County.

One of the solution approaches to tomato viral diseases is undoubtedly the cultivation of tolerant cultivars. However, the environment in which these tomatoes are grown must allow them to favorably express their resistance to viruses. The soil nutrients brought or not are part of this environment. The objective of this study is to find ways and means from fertilization to create favorable conditions for the resistance of tomato cultivars to viruses. To do this, two experiments were conducted at the agronomic experiment station of the University of Lomé during the long rainy seasons of 2019 and 2020 under five tomato cultivars (Caraïbo, Mongal-F1, Petomech, Tropimech and Adakamenou) under the conditions of five fertilization formulas, T0 (0 fertilizer), T1 (200 kg NPK 15 15 15 and 100 kg urea 46% ha-1), T2 (10 t cattle manure ha-1), T3 [ (T1+T2)/2] and T4 (300 kg NPK 15 15 15, 67 kg urea 46% ha-1 and 5 t ha-1 of cattle manure). The split-plot design was used where the fertilizers were in main plots and the cultivars in sub-plots. The linear regression of virus severities observed during the experiment according to a rating scale from 1 to 5 made it possible to describe the behavior of the cultivars. The regression's lines slopes varied from 10.55% to 43.72% under the unfertilized plants; from 2.92% to 12.4% under fertilized Caraïbo plants; from 6.70% to 9.80% under fertilized Mongal-F1 plants; from 26.77% to 49.46% under fertilized Petomech plants; from 48.77% to 63.55% under fertilized Tropimech plants and from 5.22% to 16.76% under fertilized Adakamenou plants. It follows that the behavior of a tomato cultivar with respect to viruses differs according to the fertilization formula that has been given to it and that taking fertilization into account would be essential in the management plans for tomato viruses.
