Aim: The experiment was carried out to understand the decomposition and nutrient release dynamics (N, P and K) of Crotolaria micans Link, Aeschynomene indica L. and Calopogonium mucunoides Desv. using the litter bag technique. Methodology: The species were harvested at their peak vegetative stage and air-dried for a week. Air-dried samples (10 g) were placed in 20 cm X 20 cm nylon mesh bags and buried at 10 cm soil depth in an experimental plot of 1.5 m X 1.5 m prepared for each species. The bags were retrieved monthly, and the mass and nutrient loss were determined. Results: C. micans had the highest decay rate (7.67 k per year), followed by C. mucunoides (7.15 k per year) and A. indica (5.50 k per year). During the decomposition period, K release was the fastest. The decay rate was negatively correlated with initial lignin, total phenol and lignin/N of which the total phenol (R2 = 0.956) and lignin/N ratio (R2 = 0.832) had the most significant influence on decomposition. Interpretation: The study reveals that the species can be effectively utilized as a soil nutrient input source of which C. micans seems to be the most potential species to be further researched and developed as a green manuring crop.

Aim: The present study entails new distribution records along with the identification of threats to the pitcher plant, Nepenthes khasiana Hook. f. in Meghalaya, India. Methodology: A trail survey was employed to find the distribution of pitcher plants in different locations of the Garo, Khasi, and Jaintia hills of Meghalaya between 2018 and 2022. Results: The present study reported some new distribution records in the Garo, Jaintia, and Khasi Hills of Meghalaya mostly in private lands which are scatteredly distributed. They are adversely threatened due to large-scale jhum cultivation, mining, traffic, road construction, human pressure, and tourism as depicted in the present study. Besides, the pitcher plants have been wiped out from many areas of Meghalaya which was earlier reported. Interpretation: The present work documented the distribution of pitcher plants in some new areas of the Garo, Khasi, and Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya. The population of the pitcher plant is sharply declining in Meghalaya due to various threat factors. Hence, the conservation of pitcher plant need urgent attention. Therefore, an action plan is required to safeguard the pitcher plant in these habitats. Besides public awareness, stakeholder participation is the paramount need of the hour to protect and preserve the plants. Further, new areas also need to be explored for the distribution of pitcher plants in other areas of the state including intensive studies in Garo, Khasi and Jaintia Hills.

Comparative Analysis: Larvicidal efficacy of traditional Saudi Arabian herbs and boric acid against Aedes aegypti larvae, the Dengue fever vector
Authors:   Department of Biology Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, King Abdul-Aziz University, Jeddah, 21454, Saudi Arabia, Sharawi S.E.
Published: January 2024

Aim: This study evaluates the larvicidal properties of traditional Saudi Arabian herbs compared to Boric acid against the Aedes aegypti larval stage. Methodology: An evaluation of the larvicidal activity of eight plant extracts, as well as Boric acid, was conducted with Ae. aegypti larvae in the 3rd and 4th larval stages. Through stereo-dissecting microscope, morphological and death defects in larvae treated with Boric acid were documented. Results: The results showed that the mortality rates ranged from 59.3 to 98.3% at 30% concentration. Particularly noteworthy were Boric acid, M. chamomilla, and C. zeylanicum, demonstrating mortality rates of 100 to 89%, falling within the highly effective category. E. cardamomum, C. arabica, and A. sativum exhibited moderate efficacy (88 to 70%) whereas C. sinensis, P. nigrum and I. paraguariensis manifested relatively lower effectiveness (50 to 69%). Significantly, Boric acid showcased remarkable potency, inducing mortality rates of 28.3% even at an infinitesimal concentration of 1 ppm, accompanied by distinct malformation effects on treated larvae. These findings underscore the unparalleled larvicidal prowess of Boric acid, positioning it as a paramount choice for integrated mosquito control strategies. Interpretation: Furthermore, Boric acid accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and minimal impact on ecological systems and human health make it a compelling solution for mitigating Ae. aegypti populations, thereby fortifying our arsenal against mosquito-borne diseases.

Aim: The present study was undertaken to screen the most commonly occurring endosymbionts in S. oryzae populations from varied geographical regions of North India. Methodology: The six most common endosymbionts (Wolbachia, Arsenophonus, Spiroplasma, Rickettsia, Cardinium and Hamiltonella) were screened in 15 different populations of S. oryzae, representing five different agro-climatic zones of India. For this, the samples of S. oryzae were collected and identified using taxonomic keys and through PCR amplification of the COI gene followed by Sanger sequencing and comparison of obtained sequences with the NCBI database. Thereafter, the screening of endosymbionts was performed using 16S rRNA gene-specific primers for the respective endosymbionts. Results: The results showed the presence of Wolbachia and Spiroplasma in all 15 populations with infection rates of 100 and 85 per cent, respectively. Arsenophonus was detected in only 12 populations with 60 per cent infection rate. Concurrent infections of Wolbachia, Arsenophonus and Spiroplasma within the same individuals of S. oryzae were also detected. However, no infections of Cardinium, Rickettsia and Hamiltonella were found. Interpretation: Thus, it can be inferred that Wolbachia, Spiroplasma and Arsenophonus are the most common endosymbionts which can be exploited for the development of better management strategies against S. oryzae.

Purpose: In modern society, with economic development and improvement of living standards, beauty is no longer solely aimed at physical appearance, but there is a lot of interest in scalp and hair care based on health. This study aims to investigate the influence of socio-cultural pressure and health beliefs on the perception of scalp and hair care.
Method: In modern society, with economic development and improvement of living standards, beauty is no longer solely aimed at physical appearance, but there is a lot of interest in scalp and hair care based on health . This study aims to investigate the influence of socio-cultural pressure and health beliefs on the perception of scalp and hair care.
Results: Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to determine the correlation between the variables. All the variables showed a significant positive correlation with each other. Next, multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine the effects of scalp and hair sociocultural pressure and health beliefs on perception and behavior of scalp and hair care, and it was found that sociocultural pressure from acquaintances, sociocultural pressure from media, intention to use, and maintenance had a significant positive effect on Perception and Behavior of scalp and hair care. Maintenance (β=.403, p<.001), sociocultural pressure from acquaintances (β=.246, p<.001), sociocultural pressure from the media (β=.240, p<.001), and intention to use (β=.129, p<.05) were found to affect perception and behavior of scalp and hair care.
Conclusion: In order to improve 'Perception and Behavior of Scalp and Hair Care', it can be interpreted that it is necessary to pay attention not only to scalp and hair health beliefs but also to socio-cultural pressures. It can be said that this study proves that idealized appearances in the media and relationships can influence not only behaviors such as dieting, but also individuals' perceptions and actual behaviors regarding scalp and hair.

Joint estimation of sea ice and atmospheric state from microwave imagers in operational weather forecasting
Authors: Geer Alan J
Published: January 2024

Satellite-observed microwave radiances provide information on both
surface and atmosphere. For operational weather forecasting, information
on atmospheric temperature, humidity, cloud and precipitation is
directly inferred using all-sky radiance data assimilation. In contrast,
information on the surface state, such as sea surface temperature (SST)
and sea ice fraction, is typically provided through third-party
retrieval products. Scientifically, this is a sub-optimal use of the
observations, and practically it has disadvantages such as time delays
of more than 48 hours. A better solution is to jointly estimate the
surface and atmospheric state from the radiance observations. This has
not been possible until now due to incomplete knowledge of the surface
state and the radiative transfer that links this to the observed
radiances. A new approach based on an empirical state and empirical sea
ice surface emissivity model is used here to add sea ice state
estimation, including sea ice concentration (SIC), to the European
Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts atmospheric data assimilation
system. The sea ice state is estimated using augmented control variables
at the observation locations. The resulting SIC estimates are of good
quality and they highlight apparent defects in the existing OCEAN5 sea
ice analysis. The SIC estimates can also be used to track giant
icebergs, which may provide a novel maritime application for passive
microwave radiances. Further, the SIC estimates should be suitable for
onward use in coupled ocean-atmosphere data assimilation. There is also
increased coverage of microwave observations in the proximity of sea
ice, leading to improved atmospheric forecasts out to day 4 in the
Southern Ocean.
Borrower-Lender Cross-Ownership and Borrower Audit Quality
Authors: Dearden Stuart M. , Downes Jimmy F. , Kang Tony
Published: January 2024

We study the effect of borrower-lender cross-ownership on the demand for a borrower’s external audit quality in syndicated loan settings. Cross-owners, which are institutional investors who hold the equities of both the borrower and the lead lender of syndicated loans, have the ability and incentive to increase the economic benefits accruing to both contracting parties. We hypothesize that cross-owners demand high-quality audits of the borrower’s financial information as a delegated monitoring device to resolve the agency cost of debt and improve contract efficiency. Our evidence shows that cross-ownership is positively associated with higher borrower audit fees, our proxy for audit quality. We also find that the effect is more pronounced for larger loans. Overall, these results suggest that cross-owners view external audits to be a viable monitoring mechanism for improving overall debt contacting efficiency.

The Joint Effect of Organizational Identification and Internal Reporting Environment Openness on Budgetary Misreporting
Authors: Lill Jeremy B. , Majerczyk Michael J. , Xu Ke
Published: January 2024

Many organizations are moving toward a more open, transparent working environment. However, a concurrent trend toward remote work in organizations could moderate the effect of this move toward organizational openness by reducing organizational identification. This study investigates the joint effect of organizational identification and reporting environment openness on managerial reporting behavior. Using an experiment, we find that weak versus strong organizational identification leads to greater slack creation in an open reporting environment, but this effect attenuates in a closed reporting environment. By speaking to the joint effect of internal reporting environment openness and organizational identification, this study contributes to our understanding of the theoretical drivers of misreporting and how they interact with concurrent trends in practice.

OBJECTIVE

Rare variants in DYRK1B have been described in some patients with central obesity, type 2 diabetes, and early-onset coronary disease. Owing to the limited number of conducted studies, the broader impact of DYRK1B variants on a larger scale has yet to be investigated.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

DYRK1B was sequenced in 9,353 participants from a case-control study for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Each DYRK1B variant was functionally assessed in vitro. Variant pathogenicity was determined using criteria from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). The effect of pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants on metabolic traits was assessed using adjusted mixed-effects score tests.

RESULTS

Sixty-five rare, heterozygous DYRK1B variants were identified and were not associated with obesity or type 2 diabetes. Following functional analyses, 20 P/LP variants were pinpointed, including 6 variants that exhibited a fully inhibitory effect (P/LP-null) on DYRK1B activity. P/LP and P/LP-null DYRK1B variants were associated with increased BMI and obesity risk; however, the impact was notably more pronounced for the P/LP-null variants (effect of 8.0 ± 3.2 and odds ratio of 7.9 [95% CI 1.2–155]). Furthermore, P/LP-null variants were associated with higher fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes risk (effect of 2.9 ± 1.0 and odds ratio of 4.8 [95% CI 0.85–37]), while P/LP variants had no effect on glucose homeostasis.

CONCLUSIONS

P/LP, total loss-of-function DYRK1B variants cause monogenic obesity associated with type 2 diabetes. This study underscores the significance of conducting functional assessments in order to accurately ascertain the tangible effects of P/LP DYRK1B variants.

Published: January 2024

Currently it is possible to observe various problems in our country associated with access to the hospital system, which could be largely due to the location or territorial location of the population, by virtue of this, there is an interest in knowing if public hospital care depends to a great extent on where one lives in Chile. A cross-sectional study is carried out using the Hospital Discharge Statistical Report (years 2015 to 2019), selecting the 177 public hospitals that provide care for more than one of the following pathologies: Tumors, Diseases of the circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive and genitourinary system. Total hospital discharges were classified into three levels of geographic coverage based on the patient's place of residence: local, adjacent, and non-adjacent. The analysis database comprised of Discharges, Beds, ICU Beds, ICU Beds, Coverage 1, Coverage 2, and Coverage 3 was grouped using the K-Means method. It was possible to identify 5 classes that explain different levels of variability in the geographical coverage of a hospital, these being called: very low, medium low, medium, high and very high. The methodology used in this study, it was possible to obtain the result that there are patients better located in the territory and that, therefore, they have more expeditious access to take advantage of the supply of hospital beds based on their needs or preferences.
The Lviv Archaeological Milieu During World War
Authors: Bulyk Natalia , Berest Roman
Published: January 2024

The article deals with the scientific and museological activities of Lviv archaeologists during World War I. The focus is on the fate of archaeologists who were forced to serve in the army (Y. Pasternak, V. Hrebeniak); the state of scientific institutions of Lviv, and the living and working conditions of professors and teaching staff of the University of Lviv, as well as museum workers of the city, were analyzed. In addition, it is about stocking and inventorying the museum collections with archaeological finds, and attempts to restore the activities of museum institutions regardless of conditions (National Museum of Jan III Sobieski, Dzieduszycki Museum). The issue of the loss of human lives is not the least. During these years, Lviv archaeology lost a Polish professor of archaeology Karol Hadaczek and his student, the talented Ukrainian archaeologist Volodymyr Hrebeniak. It was found that the War stopped the development of archaeological science in Lviv and pushed it back for some time. Only in the post-War years, was it possible to restore field research, and publishing activities, replenish museum collections, and educate new personnel.

The researchers have been focused increasingly on war crime archaeology in recent years, e.g. the most significant until now scientific and logistic achievements which were archaeological-exhumation works carried out 30 years ago, related to searching for mass hidden graves of Polish officers, policemen and other civil servants murdered in spring of 1940 by NKVD in Katyn, Kharkiv and Mednoye. These were the first survey researches performed abroad on such a huge scale by Polish archaeologists. Obtained information concerning exact burial locations, the number of victims, burial ground sizes and final identification of the method and murder weapon which contributed to confirmation, verification and completion of our knowledge included in documents concerning the truth of The Katyn Massacre. Experience gained and excavation methodology of those mass graves exploration was presented and reported in detail in numerous publications (Głosek 1995; 2001; 2011; 2021; Kola 1995; 1996; 1998; 2001; 2005; 2021; Młodziejowski 1995) outlining cognitive possibilities and research directions for future studies and challenges. One of the most important tasks was the victims identification which was possible thanks to objects found with the bodies. This article objective is to present new obtained knowledge, using particular types of objects (personal movable property) and their systematization. Moreover, the article authoress, also working on the restoration of these objects and deciphering inscriptions placed on them, wanted to indicate particular object groups significance in the victims identification.
Classification and Significance of Material Culture from Archaeological Research of Section BIb of the Former KL Auschwitz II - Birkenau
Authors: Lewicki Paweł , Mazurkiewicz Magdalena
Published: January 2024

This article discusses the analysis of material discovered during archaeological excavations conducted in the areas of former concentration camps, based on the results of work carried out on the site of the former German concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz II-Birkenau. The specificity of the sites from the 20th century forces the development of new research methods and procedures, slightly different from those traditionally used in archaeology. One of the significant problems is the mass nature of the discovered artefacts. These items were substantially made of decay-resistant materials such as plastic, glass or metal alloys. In addition to the amount of acquired items, difficulties are also caused due to the way they are classified and processed. The classifications used in traditional archaeology, focusing primarily on the type of raw material used to produce the artefact, have proven to be unsuitable.
Servur'a and Krym'a (Crimean Roma) as Indigenous Peoples of Ukraine
Authors: Panchenko Janush , Homanyuk Mykola
Published: January 2024

The article presents an ethnographic and sociological description of two sub-ethnic groups of Ukrainian Roma: Sérvur’a and Krým’a (Crimean Roma). Based on the field research conducted in 2016–2022, we have concluded that the Krym’a and the Servur’a are (sub-) ethnic groups which meet most of the national and international criteria for being regarded as  indigenous people of Ukraine. Servur’a and Krýmʼa were both formed in the territory of Ukraine, are predominantly based in Ukraine, are bearers of distinctive languages and cultures, have traditional, social, cultural and/or representative bodies, identify as (indigenous) people of Ukraine, as is reflected in their self-names; each of them is an ethnic minority within the population of Ukraine, and neither has a state formation of its own outside of Ukraine. Therefore, they fully satisfy the requirements of the relevant Ukrainian legislation. Additional grounds for classifying Servur’a and Krym’a as indigenous peoples are their non-dominant position in society, their traumatic historical experience, which includes the Holocaust of the Roma, the 1944 deportation of the Crimean peoples, as well as their vulnerability to forced displacement from their historic lands and the fact that the Krym’a became refugees and internally displaced persons as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian war. In the authors’ opinion, the initiation of the discussion on granting indigenous status to the Servur’a and the Krym’a can draw attention to the urgent problems of all Romani ethnic groups in Ukraine and give impetus to the formation of the state’s policy towards the Roma.

Published: January 2024

The practice of rejigging the firm value of manufacturing companies by considering employee benefits after the adverse effect of the global lockdown of COVID-19 formed the crux of this study. The study investigated the influence of employee benefits on the firm value of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Specifically, it examined the influence of incentives, health, safety, life insurance, and retirement benefits on firm value. The study adopted ex-post facto and longitudinal research designs. 22 consumer goods manufacturing firms listed on the Nigeria Exchange (NGX) formed the study population as of December 31, 2021. A census sampling technique was used, automatically making the 22 listed firms the study’s sample size. Data were obtained from published annual reports of the firms covering ten years, starting from 2012 to 2021 financial year. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and panel regression. Findings revealed that incentives, health, safety, life insurance, and retirement benefits negatively and significantly affect Tobin’s list of consumer goods manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study concluded that re-strategising incentives, health, safety, life insurance, and retirement benefits as policies would make firms perform better and increase their value.

Neuroblastoma, also called sympathoblastoma, is a malignant embryonal tumor developed at the expense of neural crest cells, the most frequent solid tumor in children under 5 years of age.
The objective is to recall the clinical variability and the importance of evoking neuroblastoma in a child presenting with an ophthalmological symptom.
We report the case of a 5-year-old child who presented with a right orbital metastatic neuroblastoma, whose ophthalmologic complaint led to the diagnosis.
An ophthalmologist in the emergency room for a VAD and eye pain first saw the child. On examination, true exophthalmos with palpebral edema was found on the right. Cerebral and orbital CT revealed a right latero-orbital osteolytic mass of secondary appearance with endocranial extension. The workup showed lymph node involvement, unilateral right adrenal, osteomedullary, hepatic, and pancreatic involvement.
The child was admitted to a specialized pediatric oncology department and received chemotherapy. The patient was then declared under palliative treatment.

Women's rights in divorce cases are not regulated explicitly in the Compilation of Islamic Law. This, however, has an impact on the inequality that is adhered to in the principle of marriage law. The purpose of this article is how the ijtihad of judges regarding women's rights after divorce is contested and their contribution to family law reform in Indonesia. The method of analysis is carried out qualitatively, with a normative approach. Data analysis techniques use the theory of mubilah and mashlahat. The results of the study show that the consideration of the Panel of Judges ex officio punishing husbands for providing iddah and mut'ah maintenance, or other rights, departs from a new interpretation of the nusyuz concept which applies to both parties (men and women). Another consideration is based on Supreme Court Jurisprudence Number 137 K/AG/2007. The Panel of Judges is also based on the Supreme Court Circular Number 3 of 2017. Such a decision is a legal breakthrough. In the reading of mubilah, such a decision is in accordance with the principles of interdependence, especially in the concept of nusyuz. Such a decision is also in accordance with the principle of benefit. In the end, the renewal of Islamic family law in Indonesia is a necessity.

It explores the complexities of human nature. This play is a study in human violence, antagonism and terror, in how people try to keep down and oppress one another at the first opportunity. Moreover, Tendulkar reaches into the depth of physical lust and violence in human beings. Tendulkar depicts violence not only in form of physical cruelty and sexual violence but also tries to explore the real causes and deep-rooted sources, which are responsible for such kind of violence.
