The capability to formation of combined biofilms by the fungi from Trichoderma genus and several PGP-bacteria including Pseudomonas extremaustralis, P. koreensis, P. mandelii and Advenella kashmirensis has been demonstrated. The strains of Trichoderma used in the experiment not only exert antagonism to phytopathogenic fungi, but also accelerate the decomposition of plant residues. It was found that microscopic fungi whose mycelial structure offers advantages in reaching and assimilating of nutrient substrates, during their growth can favor to directional moving of bacteria cells. The explored bacterial strains moved along the fungal mycelium on the surface of the medium, and in areas where the medium was absent, the bacteria moved inside the hyphae, leaving them when the mycelium reached the substrate. The findings evidence the potential of considered microorganisms for developing of a new generation multifunctional biopreparation for agriculture, contributing not only to crop yield increase and plant protection against phytopathogenic fungi, but also maintaining soil fertility.

The article analyzes the state and dynamics of soil fertility in Bashkiria and the prospects for its reproduction and maintenance. It is emphasized that despite the fact that soils are the main strategic non-renewable natural resource, currently there is an unacceptably low attention of both land users and government structures to their sustainable use. Soils degrade, humus and nutrient imbalances deteriorate, physical properties deteriorate, and as a result, unstable fertility with high fertility potential. The Republic's soil has been thoroughly studied, the main causes and extent of degradation have been identified, and technologies have been developed to prevent them and restore fertility, but they are not being fully implemented. Soils need real state protection through the revival of land service structures. Structural changes in land use and new innovative technologies to protect and maintain soil fertility are needed. An agroecological concept of land use and fertility reproduction is proposed. The concept is based on ecological optimization of the functioning of the agroecosystem, which provides for optimization of the structure (functional spatial), biogeochemical cycles, hydrological regimes in soils and landscapes, and biodiversity in the agroecosystem. Organizational and technological measures are proposed for its implementation.

In this work, a comparative structural in silico analysis of two related ColE1-type plasmids, pCS36-4CPA and pRHBSTW-00138_7, was provided. At the nucleotide sequence level, their identity was about 82.2%. In the plasmid pRHBSTW-00138_7, modules of replication, propagation, stability, as well as a cargo module were identified. The plasmid was identified as a member of the ColE1 family. The stability module was provided by the plasmid DNA multimer resolution site (mrs). At the nucleotide level, the mrs of both plasmids had a 61.3% identity. In the structure of mrs pRHBSTW-00138_7, despite the high identity of pCS36-4CPA, significant structural modifications were found. Among them, the change in the secondary structure of the RNA transcript Rcd. The results obtained indicate that, although the mrs of both plasmids have a fundamentally the same structure, they probably could have been obtained by them independently of different ancestral plasmids.

One way to increase the productivity of artificial forestation is to control the density and relative position of trees. In this regard, there are tasks of finding the optimal planting schemes to obtain the maximum wood stock of a given diameter. Based on the developed simulation model, a comparative analysis of the productivity of spruce stands with different planting schemes was carried out. The optimal forest planting schemes for spruce stands, which provide the maximum stock of small, medium and large wood, are determined. It is shown that in order to maximize the stock of wood of different size classes, different initial planting densities are required. The higher the size classes of the grown wood, the lower the optimal planting density.

The work presents the results of many years of research on the assessment of the vital state, accumulation and distribution of manganese, nickel in absorbing, semiskeletal, skeletal roots and in the aerial, organs in healthy and weakened balsamic poplar trees (Populus balsamifera L.) under the conditions of the Sterlitamak industrial centre. It was found that under the influence of heavy metals under pollution conditions at a depth of 0 - 10 (20) cm, the proportion of absorbing roots of balsamic poplar decreases in comparison with the control. It was revealed that under the conditions of the Sterlitamsk industrial centre, high concentrations of Ni and other metals in soils reduce the supply of Mn to plants. The high content of Ni and other metals in soils under the balsamic poplar stands negatively affects the vital state of trees and leads to a decrease in absorbing roots.

Published: November 2020

Forest fragmentation and habitat destructions are very common phenomena in the transitional areas of human settlements and wild environment. The spatial information in the temporal context is an important tool to assess the sensible areas of fragmented forest cover and habitat loss. In this study, Satellite data of last 30 years of time span used to generate Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) which is a key indicator to assess the status of vegetation cover. This paper deals with the causes of habitat fragmentation and its adverse effect on Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary (MWLS). Result is showing regressing rate of forest cover loss in present years as compare to past years along with creating more patches in the ecosystem. Some species needs more space for movement than others as a result of which they will migrate or die leaving the habitat intact with less diversity. Considering this fact the lower reaches of MWLS is in great danger.
The progesterone receptor is differentially expressed in brain metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the progesterone receptor, encoded by PGR, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. We observed a significant correlation between PGR expression in primary tumors of the breast and distant metastasis-free survival, as well as overall survival. Down-regulation of PGR may be an important event for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer, and irrespective of its importance, appears to be a transcriptional event generally associated with metastasis to the brain.

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We found that dermatopontin, encoded by DPT, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. We observed a significant correlation between DPT expression in primary tumors of the breast and overall survival. Molecular functions of dermatopontin may be relevant to the processes by which tumor cells of the breast metastasize to the breast. Down-regulation of DPT may be an important event for metastasis of primary tumor-derived cancer cells to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

The BRD8 bromodomain protein is differentially expressed in brain metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Metastasis to the brain is a serious complication of breast cancer (1-3) with limited treatment options (4, 5). We mined published microarray data (6, 7) to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in human breast cancer, and identified differential expression of the gene encoding the bromodomain protein BRD8 when comparing brain metastatic tissues to primary tumors of the breast. BRD8 was expressed at significantly lower levels in metastasis to the brain as compared to primary tumors, and primary tumor expression of BRD8 was significantly correlated with relapse-free survival. Understanding the transcriptional functions of BRD8 in the context of the Tip60/NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex in human breast cancer may shed light on mechanisms that contribute to migration of tumor cells from the breast and subsequent colonization of the brain.
The Relationship between Indonesian Language Learning and Environmental Education
Authors: Lanen Sania
Published: November 2020

In learning Indonesian, students are required to be skilled in using good and correct Indonesian, because someone who is accustomed to and continues to practice using Indonesian that is good and correct, has a great possibility to adapt, especially in terms of communication wherever he is. However, this good and correct Indonesian language ability cannot happen by itself. This must be in line with the ability to write, because writing is one of the efforts that can be made so that a person is able to express the contents of his thoughts in the form of perfect words and words. According to Siswartini (in Fitrianita, Syahrul, and Tressyalina, 2017), writing is arranging words into correct sentences in accordance with grammar rules to convey knowledge or inform something about an object that is interconnected. Therefore, someone who is skilled in writing, it will be easy for him to express the contents of his thoughts and ideas to others in the form of facts, opinions, observations, experiences of something.
The vitamin D receptor is differentially expressed in brain metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Brain metastases affect up to 34% of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab (1). Limited treatment options are available for clinical control of brain metastatic breast cancer (2-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to identify genes associated with metastasis to the brain in human breast cancer. This unbiased, global gene expression analysis identified differential expression of the vitamin D (1α,25(OH)2D3) receptor, encoded by VDR, as a transcriptional feature of brain metastasis in patients with breast cancer. Primary tumor expression of VDR was significantly correlated with overall survival in patients with breast cancer. VDR may be of relevance to processes underlying metastasis to the brain in human metastatic breast cancer.

Human agency over mind and matter: An ecosystem framework for describing the objective reality of material-, neural activity- and story-based social entities.
Authors: Lerchner Walter
Published: November 2020

The human mind can model and causally change entities as diverse as atoms, rivers, biological species, and societies. Assuming the mind arises from neural activity, how can such activity represent the behavior of objects, sometimes accurately imagining interactions not previously encountered? How can the human mind and body form a self, acting as a cohesive system with agency over mental and physical processes? To make self and mind accessible to scientific analysis, I introduce a physics-based framework to describe any entity via an ecosystem of dimensionally constrained interactions. All entities can be modeled by ecosystems that evolve their subsystem components towards a stable state, They respond with characteristic forces to internal or external disturbances and become identifiable objects by creating non-random perturbations of existing flow environments. Philosophically, the ecosystem framework has common elements with Object-Oriented-Ontology as well as Transcendental Idealism but is here rationalized into a scientific approach, potentially termed Objective Realism. Physical objects, mental concepts and story-based social entities are considered equally real. Their existence is based on interactive geometric and probabilistic principles, subject to coherent scientific interrogation. The framework is applicable to macro- as well as microscopic systems and elucidates means to encode processes into templates.

Music not only serves as an important source in regulating moods but also transcendsitself in impacting the happiness of individuals. However, it is not well documented that exploreswhat specific music genre(s) are preferred in countries, whether specific preferences affecthappiness, and if moderators such as Suicide, Homicide, Substance abuse and Alcohol abuseinteract with genres to determine happiness. To examine this, data were collected fromsecondary sources from Our World in Data repository and World Happiness Report and Googletrends. It was found that the preference for music genres did not contribute to the happiness ofany country. However, music genres such as Rap & RnB predicted Homicide, and EDM wasassociated with Substance abuse. At the same time, genres did not qualify significantly forexplaining the variance observed in other moderating variables such as Suicide, Alcohol abuseand Homicide. Regression analysis revealed that happiness increased with lesser Homicide ratesand higher Substance abuse
Sex Differences in the Associations Between Symptom Severity, Social Cognition, and Social Brain Network Connectivity in Alcohol Use Disorder
Authors: Waters Abigail , Chernyak Sergey , Janes Amy , Killgore William , Greenfield Shelly , Silveri Marisa M , Nickerson Lisa
Published: November 2020

Background and Aims: Large-scale neurocognitive brain networks are necessary to coordinate social cognition. Regions of prefrontal cortex that are key nodes in these networks are highly vulnerable to alcohol neurotoxicity, which may link poor social function and alcohol use disorder (AUD). However, there is very little research on how brain networks associated with social cognition are affected by AUD, and no studies of how these effects may differ between men and women. The current study aims to address this gap by examining the interaction between sex and AUD on the connectivity between brain networks implicated in social cognition.Methods: Matched groups of men and women with and without AUD (N=156; N=39/group) were selected from the Human Connectome Project. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were used to compute functional connectivity between prefrontal networks, including default mode sub-networks (anterior dorsomedial: aDMN, ventromedial: vmDMN, temporal lobe: tDMN, and posterior DMN: pDMN), and central executive, dorsal attention, ventral attention, salience, and striatal networks. Between-network connectivity was assessed for interactions between sex, AUD diagnosis and symptom severity, and a measure of composite social cognition using non-parametric permutation testing, corrected for number of network pairs tested (Benjamini-Hochberg procedure, p<0.05 corrected). Results: Connectivity between aDMN–tDMN (AUDcontrols, pcor=.030) differed between groups. An interaction between sex and AUD symptom severity was significantly associated with aDMN–VAN (pcor= .032) connectivity. Social cognition scores were associated with aDMN–vmDMN connectivity (pcor=.003), with the relationship being moderated by sex, AUD-status, and symptom severity. Conclusions: This study addresses a critical gap in the literature on how brain network connectivity that underpins social cognition may be impaired in men and women with AUD. Our findings show that vulnerabilities emerge in men and women even at mild symptom severity and that there are significant sex differences, suggesting sex-specific treatment considerations are warranted.
The hidden intricacy of loot box design: A granular description of random monetized reward features
Authors: Ballou Nick , Gbadamosi Charles , Zendle David
Published: November 2020

Loot boxes are the focus of growing research and regulatory attention. While they are frequently treated as a monolithic feature of games by researchers and policymakers, loot box implementations are not uniform: the features of loot boxes vary from game to game in ways that may have important consequences for player spending and behaviour. Despite this, previous attempts to classify loot boxes have either not focused on the impact of loot box features on player behaviour and spending, or have not attempted to fully map the different forms that loot boxes currently take. In this work, we attempt to illustrate the nuance present in loot box implementation in a featural model. Using our lived experience, a qualitative coding exercise, and consultation with an industry professional, we identify thirty-two features of loot box-like mechanics that might be expected to influence player behavior or spending, which we group into five domains: point of purchase, pulling procedure, contents, audiovisual presentation, and salience. Each feature is broken down into two or more categorization tags for a given loot box, and illustrative examples of each feature are provided. This work may serve to guide researchers in studying how different types of loot boxes may affect players, aid regulators in ensuring that any proposed legislation is sufficiently nuanced to handle the wide variation in loot box design, and help parents and players to better understand the inner workings of loot boxes during play.

Towards a Model of Urban Evolution Part III: Variation, Selection, Retention
Authors: Silver Daniel , Fox Mark , Adler Patrick
Published: November 2020

This paper develops a formal model of urban evolution in terms of 1) sources of variations; 2) principles of selection; and 3) mechanisms of retention. More specifically, regarding (1) it defines local and environmental sources of variation and identifies some of their generative processes, such as recombination, migration, mutation, extinction, and transcription errors. Regarding (2), it outlines a series of selection processes as part of an evolutionary ecology of urban forms, including density dependence, scope dependence, distance dependence, content dependence, and frequency dependence. Regarding (3), it characterizes retention as a combination of absorption and restriction of novel variants, defines mechanisms by which these can occur, including longevity, fidelity, and fecundity, and specifies how these processes issue in trajectories define by properties such as stability, pace, convergence, and divergence. A conclusion reviews the effort and looks forward to computer simulation and data-driven applications, as well as focused theoretical extensions of parts of the model.
The relationship between knowing and liking for 91 urban animal species among students

Published: November 2020

While there is growing consensus that nature should be promoted in cities, it is less clear what kind of nature this should be. One hypothesis is that humans like those parts of nature more that they know better. Using questionnaires, we studied the familiarity of 475 students with 91 urban animal species and the relationship between familiarity and attitude towards the species. Students were familiar with most animals, but not all animals were equally liked. Better-known species were not generally the better-liked ones. The more familiar animal species were on average, the more extreme attitudes became towards them, both positive and negative. For several animal species, there were significant differences in attitudes between men and women. Foreign students were less familiar with species occurring in German cities than German students, and there were some differences in attitudes. Our research shows that familiarity and attitude are not two sides of the same coin. It also emphasizes that there are parts of nature that are not liked by many humans and that this dislike is not necessarily correlated with insufficient knowledge. Detailed studies of what component of nature humans like and reasons underlying this are necessary to successfully increase nature in cities.

Carrying capacity, population pressure, and agricultural productivity are of central importance to understanding key innovations in human social and cultural evolution. In this paper we outline how crop yield models can be combined with the historical and archaeological information about past societies compiled by Seshat: Global History Database to infer how agricultural productivity and potential have changed over time in different parts of the world. To aid comparative research we focus on developing a method for calculating the carrying capacity of a particular region based on a number of simplifying assumptions. Here we present two case studies demonstrating the calculation of ancient crop yields and carrying capacity for the regions of Latium (Italy) and Oaxaca (Mexico); regions selected to illustrate a number of different features of past agricultural systems, as well as different staple crops. We outline the strengths and weaknesses of this approach and discuss ways in which it could be adapted to address a range of research questions, e.g. relating to archaeological demography and anthropogenic change. Comparison of our reconstructed carrying capacity series with independent estimates of ancient population from these regions demonstrate broadly good agreement with some notable mismatches as well, highlighting a fruitful area of focus for future studies exploring the gap between achieved population and potential carrying capacity.
Criminal Justice Involvement, Transition to Fatherhood, and the Demographic Foundation of the Intergenerational Transmission of Crime
Authors: Fallesen Peter
Published: November 2020

Most analyses of the intergenerational transmission of criminal justice contacts compare outcomes of the second generation to the criminal history of the first generation. Such analyses ignore potential differential fertility and family formation processes and exclude childless individuals. Ignoring the demographic process underlying transmission introduces selection bias into estimates of the intergenerational transmission of criminal justice contacts insofar as the first generation’s criminal history affects family formation and the probability of parenthood. In this study, we use a cohort of all Danish men born 1965-1973 including complete fertility information and criminal justice history to account for bias caused by differential selection into fatherhood across criminal histories. We demonstrate that seriousness of criminal justice involvement is associated with earlier transition to fatherhood but ultimately higher levels of childlessness. Criminal activity prior to the onset of transition to fatherhood predicts ultimate childlessness. Conditioned on becoming a father, men with criminal justice histories have a similar number of children as men without a history of criminal justice contacts. Ultimately, the findings suggest that existing estimates of the intergenerational transmission of criminal justice contacts are overestimated when considered at the population level due to differential probability of ever becoming a father.
Riskante Retweets: „Predictive Risk Intelligence“ und Interessenvertretung in globalen Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken
Authors: Heimstädt Maximilian , Dobusch Leonhard
Published: November 2020

Social media play a paradoxical role for matters of interest representation in global value-creation networks. On the one hand, social media platforms offer workers and trade unions the possibility to mobilize across geographical and institutional distances. On the other hand, these platforms also allow third parties to extract and process the digital traces of this communication about interest representation (e.g. Tweets). The aim of this paper is to introduce a specific form of processing – “Predictive Risk Intelligence” – as a new research object. Predictive Risk Intelligence providers use social media data to make predictions about events such as strikes and protests. They make these predictions available to other actors – for example, companies – as a service. In this paper, we introduce the phenomenon of Predictive Risk Intelligence through a case study of a provider of these services. Based on the case study, we develop a set of research questions related to established and new actors in the field of interest representation in value-creation networks. Finally, we discuss possible solutions for methodological challenges of the new research topic.
The poverty balancing equation: Expressing poverty of place as a population process
Authors: Mueller Tom
Published: November 2020

The measurement of poverty is essential for the development of effective poverty policy. Unfortunately, approaches using poverty rates to assess the causes and consequences of poverty do not fully capture the components of change in the poverty population. This is because changes in the conventional poverty rate can occur due to processes of natural increase, migration, or transitions in and out of poverty. This paper presents an accounting framework for changes in poverty within and between places. The framework, termed the poverty balancing equation, generates a series of summary statistics which can be used in place of the conventional poverty rate in future research. The approach is then demonstrated using the 2014 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation to generate state-level estimates of the poverty components of change for three states in the American South between January and December of 2013. Results show that even when poverty rates remain constant, there is significant dynamism within poor and non-poor populations. By applying this approach, either completely or in-part, researchers can provide more specific and actionable evidence for poverty alleviation policy.
