Authors: Manjusha A. V. Meera , Laya P. K. , Premachandran Amal , Veena M.
Published: April 2023

Background

The incidence of wilt disease of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) caused by Fusarium sp. has recently emerged in two-year-old cashew trees in an experimental field at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Pilicode, in the Kasaragod district of Kerala, India. The disease was characterized initially by chlorosis of foliage and shoots, followed by necrosis and wilting, with internal symptoms including vascular necrosis, eventually resulting in complete plant mortality.

Methods

A fungal pathogen was isolated repeatedly from the infected vascular tissues onto potato dextrose agar medium. Symptomology, cultural, morphological and molecular studies were performed to characterize the pathogen causing the disease.

Results

In culture, the colony of fungus was white, later turning pink. The fungus produced both macro and micro conidia in culture. Molecular characterization revealed the identity of the isolates as Fusarium decemcellulare Brick. Pathogenicity of the isolate was confirmed in cashew seedlings, thereby demonstrating Koch’s postulates.

Conclusion

To our knowledge, this is the first record of wilt disease of cashew caused by F. decemcellulare in India. The culture of the fungus has been deposited with the National Fungal Culture Collection of India at Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, India with accession number NFCCI 4801, and sequence of the fungus was deposited at GenBank of NCBI with accession number OP942472.

Authors: Zhang Ru , Duan Yuanfeng , Xing Li , Zhao Yang , Wei Wei , Hu Xiaoyang
Published: April 2023

Stress/force monitoring of prestressing tendons is challenging but crucial to the evaluation of the safety of structures in which they are used. To this end, a smart elasto-magneto-electric (EME) sensor based on elasto-magnetic (EM) and magneto-electric (ME) effects is proposed for noncontact field monitoring of the absolute stress in these steel tendons. In this paper, our research in design, implementation, and application of the EME sensory system for non-destructive monitoring of prestressing tendons is overviewed. The results confirm that the developed EME sensor possesses high repeatability, ease of operation and maintenance, corrosion resistance, and long expected service-life. It is demonstrated that the proposed EME sensory technology is feasible for the stress/force monitoring of prestressing tendons in both new and existing structures and the EME sensory system is reliable and stable.

Published: April 2023

China launched the Deep Resources Exploration and Mining (DREAM) program in 2016. Since then, the program has made significant progress in the exploration of critical minerals, such as rare earth, rare, and rare scattered metals. A “five-in-one” model, based on climate, landform, parent rocks, carrier minerals, and pH values of weathering crust, has been established for rare earth prospecting in South China. It has led to a major breakthrough in the discovery of a new type of ion-adsorption rare earth deposit in the weathered crust of low-grade metamorphic rocks in southern Jiangxi, South China. A pegmatite beryllium (Be), skarn beryllium-tungsten (Be-W), cassiterite sulfide tin-tungsten-beryllium (Sn-W-Be), independent fluorite, and lead-zinc (Pb-Zn) vein five-in-one model was developed for the prospecting of rare metals such as Be and W and polymetals in the Zhaxikang-Cuonadong ore-concentrated area of the eastern Himalayas. A series of metallogenic models has been proposed for the investigation of lithium (Li) resources, leading to important breakthroughs in the prospecting of large to superlarge Li deposits in the Jiajika (western Sichuan), Dahongliutan (southwestern Xinjiang), and Xiaoshiqiao (central Yunnan) ore fields. Meanwhile, the DREAM program has achieved significant advancements in its knowledge of the ultranormal enrichment of indium, germanium, gallium, niobium, and rare earth elements in the western Yangtze block, Southwest China.
The role of calcite mineral elastic moduli in carbonate rock physics
Authors: Payne Simon S. , Duffy Thomas S.
Published: April 2023

Rock-physics models for carbonate reservoirs assume that the mineral elastic moduli are known variables. A review of publications reveals a range of values for calcite that are out of date and misleading. We present a robust compilation for future investigations. We subsequently discuss the application of calcite elastic moduli for rock-physics modeling and interpretation of wireline data through a case study data set from an offshore Canada carbonate reservoir. The data set exhibits an offset between the zero-porosity intercept and the calcite elastic moduli values. Our experience indicates that this phenomenon is present in many wireline data sets from carbonate reservoirs around the world. We demonstrate that the data can be reconciled to the mineral elastic moduli through the interpretation of microcracks in the formation (defined by a crack density of 0.06). Understanding the microcrack effect in relatively low-porosity formations is important for the correct calibration of pore microstructure parameters and for fluid-substitution calculations. Results in the case study data set show a relatively high sensitivity to changes in fluid saturation. The sensitivity can be reduced through the use of effective mineral elastic moduli that are derived from the data. We justify the effective mineral elastic moduli as a representation of the mineral moduli plus microcracks. The effective mineral elastic moduli are proposed as a relatively simple method to constrain the fluid substitution calculations in low-porosity formations where microcracks are present.
The geometry of AVO spaces
Authors: de Bruin Jan
Published: April 2023

The most commonly used amplitude variation with offset (AVO) space is (A,B) space. When a collection of data points is displayed in this space, it is referred to as an intercept-gradient crossplot. At times, however, alternative AVO spaces have been proposed, using for example the reflectivities of Kρ and µρ or of λ and µ as coordinate axes instead of A and B. It is shown here that these and other AVO spaces are mathematically equivalent, and it is shown how to convert from one to another. Properties that are preserved in the conversion are identified, as well as some that are not. One property that is not preserved is the angle, in (A,B) space known as the χ angle, associated with a particular rock property or fluid effect. Projections in intercept-gradient crossplots are often referred to as rotations. A rotation keeps the length of a vector the same, whereas a projection changes it. The χ angle, commonly referred to as a rotation angle, is in fact a projection angle. It is the angle of a line onto which points are projected. To clarify the process, a fairly comprehensive description is included in this paper. There are an infinite number of possible AVO spaces. All are mathematically equivalent, and it is easy to convert between them. It is not a given that (A,B) space is always the best for a particular goal. Several other AVO spaces are discussed.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND:

We aimed to determine the preventive and therapeutic efficacy of modified manual chest compression (MMCC), a novel noninvasive and device-independent method, in reducing oxygen desaturation events in patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy under deep sedation.

METHODS:

A total of 584 outpatients who underwent deep sedation during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were enrolled. In the preventive cohort, 440 patients were randomized to the MMCC group (patients received MMCC when their eyelash reflex disappeared, M1 group) or control group (C1 group). In the therapeutic cohort, 144 patients with oxygen desaturation of a Spo
2 < 95% were randomized to MMCC group (patients who subsequently received MMCC, M2 group) or the conventional treatment group (C2 group). The primary outcomes were the incidence of desaturation episodes with an Spo
2 < 95% for the preventive cohort and the time spent below 95% Spo
2 for the therapeutic cohort. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of gastroscopy withdrawal and diaphragmatic pause.

RESULTS:

In the preventive cohort, MMCC reduced the incidence of desaturation episodes <95% (14.4% vs 26.1%; RR, 0.549; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.37–0.815; P = .002), gastroscopy withdrawal (0% vs 2.29%; P = .008), and diaphragmatic pause at 30 seconds after propofol injection (74.5% vs 88.1%; RR, 0.846; 95% CI, 0.772–0.928; P < .001). In the therapeutic cohort, patients who received MMCC had a significantly shorter time spent below 95% Spo
2 (40 [20–69] seconds vs 91 [33–152] seconds, median difference [95% CI], −39 [−57 to −16] seconds, P < .001), a lower incidence of gastroscopy withdrawal (0% vs 10.4%, P = .018), and more enhanced diaphragmatic movement at 30 seconds after Spo
2 <95% (1.11 [0.93–1.4] cm vs 1.03 [0.7–1.24] cm; median difference [95% confidence interval], 0.16 [0.02–0.32] cm; P = .015).

CONCLUSIONS:

MMCC may exert preventive and therapeutic effects against oxygen desaturation events during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
The Mystery of the Missing Pandemic
Authors: Banerjee Dwaipayan
Published: April 2023

In the history of medicine, the 1918 influenza pandemic (otherwise known as the Spanish flu) occupies a curious place. For decades, historians have claimed that this event reshaped human history, but then somehow disappeared, leaving little historical trace. They have also claimed that this forgetting is particularly evident in the Global South, which experienced the worst devastation. If the Spanish flu has been forgotten, what would its memorialization look like? The first part of this essay outlines the dangers of presuming a proper mode of remembering. The second part proposes an alternative: what if we take the absence of memorialization not as a lack demanding intervention but as a conceptual insight? Finally, this essay clarifies the implications of this refusal to identify the Global South as a zone of exceptional abjection—of human lives as well as of historical accounting—for our practices of remembering COVID-19.

Στην διατριβή μελετάται η ανάδυση των υπολογιστικών μεθόδων στην κβαντική χημεία από την εισαγωγή τους στα τέλη της δεκαετίας του 1950 έως την αποδοχή τους ως κύριο ερευνη-τικό εργαλείο τη δεκαετία του 1980, αντικαθιστώντας σταδιακώς και μερικώς το πείραμα. Τέσ-σερα είναι τα κύρια επιχειρήματα. Πρώτον, για την διαφύλαξη της αυτονομίας των υπολογιστι-κών μοντέλων από τα πειράματα, οι κβαντικοί χημικοί χρησιμοποίησαν ρητορικές στρατηγικές οι οποίες έτειναν να υπερτονίζουν την σχέση των μοντέλων με την θεωρία και να υποβιβάζουν το γεγονός ότι καθοδηγούνταν από το πείραμα, παρόλο που εμπειρικά στοιχεία εισάγονταν εμ-μέσως στην διαδικασία συγκρότησης των μοντέλων. Δεύτερον, οι συμμαχίες με οργανικούς χη-μικούς ήταν καθοριστικές για την διάχυση των υπολογισμών ενώ η εικονογράφηση βοήθησε στην κατανόηση αφηρημένων οντοτήτων όπως τα τροχιακά. Τρίτον, θα υποστηριχθεί ότι την δεκαετία του 1970 οι μέθοδοι αποτίμησης της απόδοσης των μοντέλων μετατράπηκαν σε θεμε-λιώδες κομμάτι της υπολογιστικής μοντελοποίησης στην κβαντική χημεία. Τέταρτον, το επιστη-μολογικό και θεσμικό καθεστώς των νέων μεθόδων, που γενικά αναφέρονταν ως υπολογιστι-κές προσομοιώσεις ήταν αβέβαιο και μετατράπηκε σε αντικείμενο διαπραγματεύσεων και ενί-οτε αντιπαραθέσεων ανάμεσα στους υπολογιστικούς χημικούς και τους παραδοσιακούς πειρα-ματικούς χημικούς. Οι κβαντοχημικοί υπολογισμοί αμφισβήτησαν το μονοπώλιο της πειραματι-κής μεθόδου στη χημεία. Τελικά, οι νέες μέθοδοι έγιναν αποδεκτές κατά την δεκαετία του 1980 ως συμπληρωματικές με τις συμβατικές πειραματικές μεθόδους.

Η παρούσα έρευνα αφορά στη θέση του μύθων στη συγκρότηση του έθνους και την διαμόρφωση πολιτιστικής ταυτότητας στην Ελλάδα. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τη διαρκώς μεταβαλλόμενη φύση της έννοιας της ταυτότητας σύμφωνα με μεταμοντέρνες θεωρίες, εστιάζει στο ρόλο που μπορούν να αναλάβουν τα μουσεία στην Ελλάδα ως χώροι διαμόρφωσης νέας ταυτότητας στο σύγχρονο κοινωνικο - πολιτιστικό πλαίσιο. Επιπρόσθετα, μελετά τους τρόπους που μπορούν να συνεργαστούν με τα σχολεία ενισχύοντας τον εκπαιδευτικό ρόλο αυτών ως μαθησιακό και πολιτιστικό περιβάλλον. Στην εποχή μας, καθώς η εθνική ομογενοποίηση και συνέχεια τίθενται υπό αμφισβήτηση κάτω από την πίεση εσωτερικών και εξωτερικών αλλαγών και της αναζήτησης της πολιτιστικής ποικιλομορφίας, οι συλλογικές ταυτότητες απαιτείται να επαναπροσδιοριστούν. Ως εκ τούτου, υποστηρίζω ότι οι μύθοι αποτελούν ένα πρόσφορο πολιτιστικό πλαίσιο για τη διαμόρφωση ταυτότητας στο χώρο του μουσείου και του σχολείου, στοχεύοντας στη διατήρηση των παραδόσεων αλλά και την πολιτιστική καινοτομία. Συνακόλουθα, παρουσιάζω μια πιλοτική μελέτη της σχέσης σχολείου και μουσείου με βάση ένα πρόγραμμα που περιλαμβάνει ελληνικούς μύθους. Με την ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων και τα εξαγόμενα συμπεράσματα, ελπίζω ότι συνεισφέρω στην ανάπτυξη πολιτιστικών προσεγγίσεων του μαθητικού κοινού μέσα στο μουσειακό χώρο.

Authors: Shevchenko D. , Kutergin M. , Gasparovich E.
Published: April 2023

Assessment of the level of competence of the professional service activities of military personnel is one of the significant tasks of a personnel management specialist in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. As a result, the use of assessing the level of competence of the professional performance of military personnel in the process of personnel rotation is an important area of research in the field of management. It is extremely important that every military organization has a reliable tool for assessing the level of competence of the professional performance of personnel.

The theoretical analysis presented in the study showed that there are various models for assessing the competence of professional activities in general, however, it is important to apply a specialized assessment of the level of competence of professional service activities of military personnel in the process of personnel rotation, which will avoid managerial errors.

The novelty of the study is revealed in the fact that the assessment of the competence of professional activity of personnel adapted in the work is used by the personnel manager as a tool for selecting military personnel for successful personnel rotation.

It is difficult to overestimate the practical significance of studying the potential for assessing the level of competence of professional service activities of military personnel in the process of personnel rotation.Tools for assessing the level of professional competencies of military personnel for appointment are presented to equal or higher military positions at the place of service or transfer of military personnel to a new place of military service and appointment to equal or higher military posts. As a result, based on the results obtained, a further rotation and professional career plan is drawn up, which in the future will allow the serviceman to achieve even higher performance results.

Published: April 2023

The article presents a description and results of a study of the possibilities of using a student’s personal brand for future positioning in the labor market and in professional activities. The purpose of the study was to determine the correspondence between the expectations of students, the need to form a personal brand for employment opportunities and the role of the personal brand of the applicant for the employer. The methodological basis of the study was a critical analysis of scientific literature, secondary data from ongoing studies, a review of expert opinions and primary empirical information necessary to achieve the goal. The first direction of empirical research (part I) in the form of an Internet survey was a survey of students of a higher educational institution in order to determine the attitude of a given social group to the problems of forming and developing a personal brand. The second area of empirical research (Part II) in the form of an online survey was a survey of HRM specialists in order to identify the importance of a student’s (young specialist’s) personal brand in the process of recruitment and professional development for the employer. To comprehend the obtained empirical information, the methods of generalization and comparative analysis were used. The results of the empirical study indicate that there are some differences in the perceptions of the importance of a personal brand among students and HR professionals. According to the authors, the data obtained confirm the disagreements identified at the stage of analysis of expert assessments in public discussions regarding the significance and necessity of forming a student’s personal brand. Despite this, research needs to be continued. Increasing the coverage in terms of the number and geography of student youth, as well as HR specialists, as representatives of the employer, will provide better results.

Published: April 2023

Feeds prepared from perennial grasses are of the greatest value for animal husbandry. They are well absorbed, as they contain all the necessary nutrients in ratios that best meet the zootechnical requirements. In addition, the absence of annual costs for tillage and sowing, as well as the ability of perennial grasses to form 3 mowing with irrigation and 2 without irrigation, allow you to get feed at the lowest cost. Most importantly, perennial herbs have a unique ability to increase soil fertility and improve its structural composition, which is an invaluable advantage in conditions of exorbitant high cost and shortage of fertilizers. In this regard, it is necessary to revise the structure of the acreage of fodder crops in the direction of increasing the area of perennial grasses to 25% of arable land against 15-18% at present (0.8-0.9 hectares per 1 conditional head of cattle). Taking into account the above, this article presents the generalized results of field experiments on the study of the cenotic activity and nutritional value of goat agrocenoses in the conditions of the Republic of Tatarstan. The application of calculated norms of flour mixtures for planned yields of 300, 350, 400 c/ha of green mass proportionally increases the productivity of research objects: single-species crops of Eastern goat from 203 c/ha on control to 307 c/ha on the last version of the experiment (planned yield of 400 c/ha of green mass); goat-clover herbage from 244 c/ha under control up to 348 c/ha; bean-bluegrass meadows from 250 c/ha under control up to 354 c/ha. However, the highest payback of kg of NPK by both green mass and dry matter is provided when applying calculated fertilizer rates for the planned yield of 350 c/ha of biomass.

Published: April 2023

The paper presents an assessment of the suitability of various genotypes (cultivars) of spring wheat for use in carbon farming. For these purposes, indicators of the carbon footprint and the balance of greenhouse gases in the cultivation of each of the genotypes were determined. The studies were carried out in 2022 on the experimental fields of the Kazan State Agrarian University, under conditions of sufficient moisture, especially in the first half of the plant growing season. Agrotechnology for cultivation of varieties was recommended for the area of the Pre-Kama region of the Republic of Tatarstan. The calculation of the carbon footprint (CFR) was carried out on the basis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in kg of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 equivalent) per kg of product (grain). To determine the volume of greenhouse gas emissions, data on the consumption of fuel, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides were used, and direct and indirect N2O emissions associated with the mineralization of wheat plant residues were also taken into account. The objects of research were nineteen genotypes of spring wheat of domestic selection. In the conditions of 2022, the yield of various varieties of spring wheat fluctuated over a wide range (from 2.64 t/ha for the Tulaikovskaya 108 variety to 4.75 t/ha for the Ulyanovsk 105 variety), reaching an average of 3.76 t/ha for all varieties. The results of the assessment of the CFP value showed that on average it amounted to about 0.49 kg CO2 eq. per kg -1, and the coefficient of variation of the indicator for all varieties was 9.99%, which indicates a weak variability. The lowest carbon footprints were found in Khayat (0.40 kg CO2 eq/kg-1), Ulyanovskaia 105 and Ura-Losibirskaya 2 (0.42 kg CO2 eq/kg-1). For most of the studied spring wheat varieties, the greenhouse gas balance was negative (on average -386.08 kg CO2 eq. per ha). However, in the varieties Idelle, Tulaikovskaya Nadezhda and Zlata, the balance was positive, which is associated with the entry into the soil of a significant amount of plant residues and straw in these varieties. Thus, out of 19 varieties of spring wheat, only 3 have prospects for use in carbon farming. The results obtained confirmed the need to study the carbon footprint and balance of greenhouse gases when assessing spring wheat genotypes in breeding programs for carbon farming.

The rise and fall of a family are intertwined with personal achievements. No matter what success a person will achieve in the future, he will be influenced by the family from birth. Parents are the link between families and their children. Through reading, summarizing, and reflecting on previous scholars’ research, this paper takes educational methods and educational concepts as the measurement indicators of parents’ educational literacy, constituting a paralleled mediation model. By investigating the basic situation and educational behavior of 200 parents from different families in China, this paper aims at exploring the role of parents’ educational literacy in the family economy children’s academic achievement. The results show that the family economy can not only directly affect children’s academic achievements, but also indirectly affect them through parents’ educational methods and concepts. Specifically speaking, the direct effect accounts for 44%, the indirect effect of the education method accounts for 32%, and the indirect effect of the education concept accounts for 24%. The effect of parents’ guidance on children cannot be ignored. Combined with previous studies, we can improve parents’ educational literacy and help children grow up by means of Internet information and communication between parents

It is found that translators often choose appropriate translation strategies, methods and techniques to achieve translation effects in linguistic, cultural and communicative dimensions, promoting full communication between the source culture and the target culture. The purpose of this study is to provide reference for the subtitle translation of domestic animation and make contribution to the enhancement of international influence of Chinese animation and Chinese traditional culture.
RESEARCH ON INFORMED CONSENT RULES IN THE COLLECTION OF PERSONAL BIOMETRIC INFORMATION IN CHINA
Authors: LOU KEJIA , MAO JIAYU , ZHANG ZHEWEI
Published: April 2023

Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, which came into effect in November of 2021, formally established the legal procedures concerning informed consent in the collection of personal information. The law specifies that personal biometric information is officially considered sensitive personal information. It imposes more stringent requirements for its collection and processing in order to ensure that the information rights of the information subjects remain protected. Based on the understanding of technical risks involved in securing personal biometric information, as well as the inherent risks of information privacy in general, this paper will systematically review the current rules concerning informed consent in the collection of personal biometric information as stipulated by Chinese laws and regulations, as well as other national standards. Taking existing issues as guidance, we will also explore the compliance and regulation of the commercial use of personal biometric information under the informed consent regulations by determining the most common instances in which these rules were violated in practice.
Which Enemy to Dance with? A New Role of Software Piracy in Influencing Antipiracy Strategies
Authors: Sun Can , Ji Yonghua , Geng Xianjun
Published: April 2023

This paper studies how software firms should determine their antipiracy efforts and product prices. There are two unique aspects of our model. First, antipiracy efforts have both a direct effect and a cross effect on software piracy. Second, we capture two types of competitions when piracy exists: one between a legitimate product and its pirated counterpart, and the other between two pirated products. We show that due to pirated products’ buffer effect not studied before, eliminating piracy does not necessarily mean higher profit for firms. This reveals an unexplored advantage of desktop software comparing with Software as a Service that can eliminate piracy. Direct and cross effects have different impacts on firms’ decisions and profits. Opposite to what one might expect, when a firm’s antipiracy effort becomes more effective in increasing the cost of pirating its own product but not its competitor’s product, the firm becomes worse off under certain conditions. By contrast, if the effort’s cross effect is higher, therefore increasing the cost of pirating its competitor’s product, a firm will always be better off. The managerial implication is that if a firm ignores the cross effect, it could under-invest in anti-piracy effort, causing its profit to suffer.
Product Aesthetic Design: A Machine Learning Augmentation
Authors: Burnap Alex , Hauser John R. , Timoshenko Artem
Published: April 2023

Aesthetics are critically important to market acceptance. In the automotive industry, an improved aesthetic design can boost sales by 30% or more. Firms invest heavily in designing and testing aesthetics. A single automotive “theme clinic” can cost more than $100,000, and hundreds are conducted annually. We propose a model to augment the commonly used aesthetic design process by predicting aesthetic scores and automatically generating innovative and appealing product designs. The model combines a probabilistic variational autoencoder (VAE) with adversarial components from generative adversarial networks (GAN) and a supervised learning component. We train and evaluate the model with data from an automotive partner—images of 203 SUVs evaluated by targeted consumers and 180,000 high-quality unrated images. Our model predicts well the appeal of new aesthetic designs—43.5% improvement relative to a uniform baseline and substantial improvement over conventional machine learning models and pretrained deep neural networks. New automotive designs are generated in a controllable manner for use by design teams. We empirically verify that automatically generated designs are (1) appealing to consumers and (2) resemble designs that were introduced to the market five years after our data were collected. We provide an additional proof-of-concept application using open-source images of dining room chairs.

Empirical Model of Dynamic Merger Enforcement—Choosing Ownership Caps in U.S. Radio
Authors: Jeziorski Przemysław
Published: April 2023

The paper introduces a method to conduct a forward-looking antitrust review of horizontal mergers. The method utilizes a dynamic oligopoly model in which mergers, entry/exit, and product repositioning are endogenous. The model provides long-run industry trajectories with and without the merger under review, enabling the regulator to obtain dynamically robust welfare comparisons. The paper demonstrates the framework’s application to regulate the U.S. radio broadcasting industry. In particular, it investigates the long-run efficacy of two commonly used merger heuristics: radio station ownership caps (see the Telecom Act of 1996) and static merger simulations. The paper finds that raising the ownership cap results in higher total welfare and demonstrates varying long-run effectiveness of merger simulations.

Structural Brain Alterations in Borderline Personality Disorder

Published: April 2023

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is one of three clusters of personality disorders characterized by a pattern of difficulty regulating emotion, impulse control, interpersonal relationships, and self-image. Emotional dysregulation, impulsive aggression, repetitive self-injury, and chronic suicidal tendencies make these individuals frequent users of mental health services. BPD has a variety of causes and involves several factors which interact in various ways with each other. Emotional dysregulation and impulsivity can be caused by genetic factors and traumatic childhood experiences and lead to dysfunctional behaviors, psychosocial conflicts, and deficits that may exacerbate emotional dysregulation and impulsivity. BPD has been linked to anatomical alterations in brain areas in the prefrontal cortex, cingulate cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, corpus callosum, and frontolimbic network. These brain changes can lead to the manifestation of the inability to control behavior, feelings, and interpersonal relationships, which often leads to violence. These symptoms may begin at a young age or in early adulthood and tend to continue as the individual ages. The goal of this article is to review how structural changes in the brain can cause BPD.

The reduction of sugar and the supplementation of bioactive ingredients in gummy jelly help to improve the healthy characteristics of a product that is normally devoid of any nutritional value. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a reduced calorie gummy jelly supplemented with Lysiphyllum strychnifolium leaf extract (LS gummy jelly). The gummy jelly was formulated by total substitution of sucrose with a sugar alcohol, xylitol. The antioxidant activities of LS gummy jelly determined by DPPH radical scavenging activity assay was 0.07 ± 0.02 g ascorbic acid equivalent/100 g gummy jelly. The results of ABTS radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing power (FRAP) assay were found to be 0.21 ± 0.02 g TEAC/100 g gummy jelly and 0.98 ± 0.07 mmol FeSO4/100 g gummy jelly, respectively. The percentage inhibition of α-glucosidase activity of LS gummy jelly (at concentration 10 mg/ml) was 46.1 ± 7.9%. The LS gummy jelly was successfully developed with good physical characteristics and negative results for microbiological tests. HPLC quantitative analysis of gallic acid, the major active compound in L. strychnifolium leaf extract, was found to be 0.45 ± 0.04 mg/g of gummy jelly. According to preference ranking test (n=50), the results showed that berry flavor was preferred for LS gummy jelly. Thus, LS gummy jelly could be considered as a promising antioxidant functional food product that could provide health benefits to consumers.

Potato scab is caused by several pathogenic Streptomyces species which diminish crop quality, quantity and marketability. In the present study, a 16S rRNA gene sequence was used to detect Streptomyces species in potato tuber lesions harvested in Chiang Mai, Thailand and to evaluate a virulence gene as a reliable marker for the detection of pathogenic Streptomyces species by PCR assays. Streptomyces isolates were isolated from potato scab lesions, of which one isolate was pathogenic on potato tubers. The pathogenic isolate MJ21 was identified as Streptomyces scabies based on 16S rRNA gene sequence and morphological characteristics. Subsequently, isolate MJ21 produced PCR products from the tomA and txtAB genes, which are related to the production of tomatinase enzyme and thaxtomin A, respectively. Moreover, when grown on nutrient agar (NA) with MJ21, eggplant seedlings showed severe stunting of the roots and shoots, and failed to germinate; by comparison, seedlings/seeds grown on NA plates without MJ21 exhibited no symptoms. This study reports that S. scabies MJ21 has a toxigenic region (TR) that is associated with the tomA and txtAB genes.
