The Association of Group IIB Intron with Integrons in Hypersaline Environments
Authors: Sonbol Sarah , Siam Rania 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background: Group II introns are mobile genetic elements used as efficient gene targeting tools. They function as both ribozymes and retroelements. Group IIC introns are the only class reported so far to be associated with integrons. In order to identify group II introns linked with integrons and CALINS (cluster of attC sites lacking a neighboring integron integrase) within halophiles, we mined for integrons in 28 assembled metagenomes from hypersaline environments and publically available 104 halophilic genomes using Integron Finder followed by blast search for group II intron reverse transcriptases (RT)s. Results: We report the presence of different group II introns associated with integrons and integron-related sequences denoted by UHB.I1, UHB.I2, H.ha.1 and H.ha.F2. The first two were identified within putative integrons in the metagenome of Tanatar-5 hypersaline soda lake, belonging to IIC and IIB intron classes, respectively. Truncated introns H.ha.F1 and H.ha.F2 were also detected in a CALIN within the extreme halophile Halorhodospira halochloris, both belonging to group IIB introns. The intron-encoded proteins (IEP)s identified within group IIB introns belonged to different classes: CL1 class in UHB.I2 and bacterial class E in H.ha.Fa1 and H.ha.F2. A newly identified insertion sequence (ISHahl1) of IS200/605 superfamily was also identified adjacent to H. halochloris CALIN. Finally, an abundance of toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems was observed within the identified integrons. Conclusion: So far, this is the first investigation of group II introns within integrons in halophilic genomes and metagenomes from hypersaline environments. We report the presence of group IIB introns associated with integrons or CALINs. This study provides the basis for understanding the role of group IIB introns in the evolution of halophiles and their potential biotechnological role.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background

Digital media has become an important part of learning and teaching of dentistry. However, open source video platforms as youtube.com provide information without peer review. This study aims to evaluate if Youtube videos on dental education are feasible to improve learning of dental students and if they should be implemented in the curriculum.
Methods

Data collection addressed six typical topics of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Ten Youtube videos for each topic were reviewed by the authors. A link to the video was shared with a class of dental students one week prior to the corresponding lecture. Questionnaires addressing cooperation and experience with teaching videos, satisfaction with the current video, and wish for adding videos to the curriculum were distributed among the students.
Results

In total, 134 questionnaires were fullfiled. 79.4% of the students watched the youtube videos voluntarily. Majority of the students showed experience with dental teaching videos from open source platforms (Youtube, Instagram). 52.2% were exposed to professional teaching videos during their studies. The majority of students (62.7%) wish for the implementation of video material to the curriculum. They felt better prepared for the lectures (73.9%) and showed an improved understanding of the contents of the lectures (70.9%).
Conclusion

Summarizing our findings, we believe that open source videos can be implemented to the curriculum after careful evaluation of their contents. Students subjectively profit from the availability of video teaching material.

Rapid Ag Nanofiber Formation via Pt Nanoparticle-Assisted H2-Free Reduction of Ag+-Containing Polymers
Authors: Zhao Xu , Kawamura Yukiko , Muraoka Mikio 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
One-dimensional Ag nanostructure-based networks have garnered significant attention as next-generation transparent conductive materials. Compared to Ag nanowires, Ag nanofibers (NFs) with higher aspect ratios decrease the number density required for percolation; hence, they form qualitatively superior transparent conductive films. This study reports a novel method for rapid fabricating Ag NFs via the Pt nanoparticle-assisted H2-free reduction of solid-state AgNO3. Our results firstly indicated that polymers can be a source of reducing gases in the presence of Pt nanoparticles; Ag NFs with aspect ratios above 105 herein were obtained by heating AgNO3-containing polymer NFs in an open-air environment. The obtained Ag NF networks were highly conductive and transparent. Moreover, the mechanism of Ag NF formation was investigated. We demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits a high potential for producing high yields of Ag NFs in a simple and rapid manner.
Soil Food Web Complexity Enhances the Link Between Soil Biodiversity and Ecosystem Multifunctionality in Agricultural Systems

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Background: Belowground biodiversity supports multiple ecosystem functions and services that humans rely on. However, there is a dearth of studies conducted on a large spatial scale on the topic in intensely managed agricultural ecosystems. Existing studies have overlooked the fact that the functional diversity in other trophic groups within a food web could influence function of an individual in another trophic group. Here, we report significant and positive relationships between soil biodiversity (archaea, bacteria, fungi, protists, and invertebrates) and multiple ecosystem functions (nutrient provisioning, element cycling, and reduced pathogenicity potential) in 228 agricultural fields. Results: The relationships were influenced by (I) the types of organisms with significant relationships in archaea, bacteria, and fungi and not in protists and invertebrates, and (II) the connectedness of dominant phylotypes across soil food webs, which generate different ecological clusters within soil networks to maintain multiple functions. In addition, we highlight the role of soil food web complexity, reflected by ecological networks comprising diverse organisms, which promote the multiple functions and enhance the link between soil biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Conclusions: Overall, our results represent a significant advance in forecasting the impacts of belowground biodiversity within food webs on ecosystem functions in agricultural systems, and suggest that soil biodiversity, particularly soil food web complexity, should not be overlooked, but rather considered a key factor and integrated into policy and management activities aimed at enhancing and maintaining ecosystem productivity, stability, and sustainability under land-use intensification.

Abstract
Background: Wheat processing quality is an important factor in evaluating overall wheat quality and dough characteristics are important in assessing the processing quality of wheat. As an important germplasm resource, semi-wild wheat plays an important role in the study of wheat processing quality.Results: In this study, Four dough rheological characteristics were therefore collected in four environments using a nested association mapping (NAM) population, consisting of semi-wild and domesticated wheat varieties, which were used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for wheat processing quality. Using an available single nucleotide polymorphism genetic linkage map, a total of 49 QTL for wheat processing quality were detected, explaining 0.36–10.82% of the phenotypic variation. These QTL were located on all wheat chromosomes except for 2D, 3A, 3D, 6B, 6D and 7D. Compared to previous studies, 29 QTL were newly identified. Four novel QTL, QMlPH-1B.4, QMlPH-3B.4, QWdEm-1B.2 and QWdEm-3B.2, were stably identified in three or more environments, of which QMlPH-3B.4 was a major QTL. Moreover, eight important genetic regions for wheat processing quality were identified on chromosomes 1B, 3B and 4D, which showed pleiotropy for dough characters. In addition, out of 49 QTL, 15 favorable alleles came from three semi-wild parents, suggesting that the QTL alleles provided by the semi-wild parent were unutilized in domesticated varieties.Conclusions: The results show that the semi-wild wheat varieties can enrich the existing wheat gene pool and provide broader variation resources for wheat genetic research.

Authors: Boufekane Abdelmadjid , Meddi Hind , Meddi Mohamed 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
This work aims to identify the potential groundwater recharge zones in the Mitidja plain (north Algeria) using the multi-criteria approach. The analysis was based on the use of a geographical information system (GIS) and remote sensing to establish eight thematic maps, weighted, categorized and inserted, that allowed us to establish the potential zones’ map for groundwater recharge. Three potential groundwater recharge classes were defined corresponding, respectively, to low (26%), moderate (47%) and high (27%). The best groundwater potential zones are situated in the piedmont of the Blidean Atlas (the south of the study area), precisely, upstream near to wadis (wadi El Harrach, wadi Djemaa, wadi Mazafran) and the western aquifer limit, where the hydrogeological units are formed by the alluvium formation which is characterized by high hydraulic conductivity, high water flow, low slope, low drainage, low quantity transported sediments and good water quality. The obtained results, in this work, describe the groundwater recharge potential areas and supply information for a suitable mapping and the management of aquifer resources in the study area.

Published: September 2020

Budidaya ikan air tawar di Desa Potoya Kabupaten Sigi telah dilakukan selama bertahun tahun, dan potensi pengembangan budidaya tersebut secara ekonomi cukup menjanjikan, karena didukung dengan sarana dan prasaranan yang memadai. Namun kendala utama yang dihadapi pembudidaya ikan air tawar terletak pada besarnya biaya produksi yang harus dikeluarkan terkait dengan pakan ikan. hal ini yang membuat pembudidaya harus menjual ikan hasil produksinya dengan harga yang tinggi, sehingga hanya mampu dinikmati oleh masyarakat kalangan menengah ke atas. Salah satu cara yang dapat memecahkan masalah tersebut adalah dengan pemberian pakan ikan yang dibuat oleh pembudidaya sendiri. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah (1) melakukan transfer pengetahuan dan keterampilan pada kelompok pembudidaya ikan air tawar (istri pembudidaya), (2) menciptakan produk pakan ikan yang bernutrisi dengan memanfaatkan limbah yang ada. Kegiatan pengabdian ini melibatkan 20 orang keluarga pembudidaya, terutama istri pembudiya di Desa Potoya Kabupaten Sigi. Peserta pelatihan dibagi menjadi beberapa kelompok agar ilmu yang diterima dapat disebarluaskan kembali kepada masyarakat sekitar khususnya kelompok pembudidaya yang lainnya. Pemanfaatan limbah pertanian untuk pakan ini diharapkan dapat mengurangi biaya produksi budidaya ikan air tawar di tingkat pembudidaya ikan yang juga bekerja sebagai petani, peningkatan produksi ikan dan pendapatan keluarga.

Published: September 2020

Actualmente resultaría difícilmente concebible que una nación de nuestro entorno pudiera tener dos textos constitucionales simultáneos, menos todavía si uno fuera breve y el otro extenso y todo el articulado del primero estuviera contenido en el segundo. Sin embargo, esa es la opinión de bastantes historiadores sobre los Fueros de Aragón de 1247. En este artículo estudiamos las diferencias existentes entre los Fueros y la obra de literatura jurídica, el Vidal Mayor, sin valor legal alguno, con la que se los compara; y tratamos de otros temas que dificultan el buen conocimiento de los orígenes del derecho general aragonés.

Published: September 2020

Argentina es el país que mayores volúmenes de fernetconsume en el mundo. En el 2012 se intentó llevar a cabo en Mendiolaza (Provincia de Córdoba, Argentina), un festival popular alrededor del fernet, para romper un record Guinness. Sin embargo, una disputa que se inició entre diversos actores (sociedad civil, gobiernos y empresa) terminaría sepultando laFernet Fest. Pese a no realizarse dicho evento, los debates expresados a través de distintos medios de comunicación en aquel contexto enriquecieron, desde las ciencias sociales, las distintas aristas de la discusión en torno a la gastronomía y el turismo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar los emergentes que surgieron en torno al mencionado debate en el marco de la eventual realización de la Fernet Fest. Metodológicamente, se utilizó etnografía virtual para el análisis de artículos de diversos medios gráficos, como así también de sitios de internet y redes sociales. A través del análisis de las diversas voces, fue posible delinear los principales argumentos que surgieron a favor y en contra de la realización del festival, que consideramos son importantes a la hora de pensar sobre las festividades vinculadas al turismo que tienen como componentes centrales las bebidas alcohólicas.

Argentina is the country that consumes the largest volumes of fernet in the world. In 2012, a popular festival around fernet was attempted in Mendiolaza (Province of Córdoba, Argentina) to break a Guinness record. However, a dispute that began between various actors (civil society, governments and company) would end up burying the Fernet Fest. In spite of not having said event, the debates expressed through different press in that context enriched, from the social sciences, the different edges of the discussion around gastronomy and tourism. The objective of this work was to analyze the emerging arguments that arose around the mentioned debate in the framework of the eventual realization of the Fernet Fest. Methodologically, virtual ethnography was used to analyze articles from various newspapers, as well as from internet sites and social networks. Through the analysis of the different voices, it was possible to delineate the main arguments that arose in favor and against the realization of the festival, which we consider important when thinking about the festivities linked to tourism, whose main components are alcoholic drinks.
