Published: December 2021

The study assesses the impacts of Human-Wildlife conflicts in the surrounding villages in Old Oyo National Park (OONP), Nigeria. Two ranges out of the five ranges were used. Four villages were selected based on the distribution of primates and wildlife populations with each range producing two villages around Old Oyo National Park, were randomly selected for wildlife assessment. A total of 80 well-structured questionnaires were administered to the villagers with each getting 20 questionnaires respectively. Data collected were subjected to inferential and descriptive statistics. Result shows that among other socio demographic characteristics tested against the impact of Human –wildlife conflict in the park, educational level and religion show significant difference (p<0.05). the buffer zone around the park has been extensively encroached; this made most of the surrounding villages to the park fall within the average distance of 2.6km. about 79% of the villages make use of fire wood for their household cooking. Major animals that intrude farmlands in the study areas include monkey (24%), Grasscutter (11%), Cattle (19%), Gorilla (12%), Antelope (6%), Cane rat (5%) and Rabbit (3%). Some of the crops attacked by the wildlife animals include; tubers (24%), tubers and vegetable (7%), tubers and fruits (36%), tubers, vegetable and fruits (3%), vegetable (7%), fruits (3%). All the respondents (100%) rated the level of attack and damages to their crops as high.

Published: December 2021

The study examined soil conservation techniques and its effect on productivity of arable crop farmers in Kogi state, Nigeria. Data were collected from 184 farmers using three stage sampling technique. Data analyses were carried out using descriptive statistics, Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and regression analysis. Result shows that the soil conservation technique prevalent in the area was application of inorganic fertilizer. About 36.4% of the sampled household heads have productivity value above average across all the soil conservation categories (productive). Result also reveals that age (-1.801), household size (-0.310) and access to credit (-0.056) impacted arable crop farmers negatively while alley cropping (0.357), crop rotation (0.380), application of inorganic fertilizer (0.503), mulching (0.560) and organic manure (0.373) positively impacted arable farmers’ productivity. The study concludes that soil conservation techniques are productivity enhancer. Promoting sustainable conservation techniques that are farm or farmer specific is recommended.

Published: December 2021

Abstract. The study provides baseline data regarding 17-β-estradiol (E2), progesterone (P4), and cortisol profile of 30 Nicastrese goats during different physiological periods. Animals were
evaluated monthly from the pre-mating period (non-pregnant), during pregnancy, and
from 30 to 105 d of lactation. The effects of single or twin births and
the kid's sex were also considered. Serum E2, P4, and cortisol
concentrations were measured using immunoenzymatic assay kits. The highest
concentrations of E2 and P4 (P<0.0001) were found during
pregnancy and their lowest values (P<0.0001) in the non-pregnant
period. E2 was negatively correlated with P4 (r=-0.41; P<0.01) during lactation. The mothers with twin kids showed the
highest concentration of P4 (P<0.04) at > 95–115 d of gestation and the lowest of E2 (P<0.04) at
> 50–70 d of lactation. Pregnant goats carrying male kid(s)
presented the highest E2 concentrations (P<0.02) at
> 130–150 d of gestation. Different physiological conditions
induced a temporal relationship with the endocrine profile in Nicastrese
goats. Understanding the effects of single or twin fetuses on the gestation
and lactation will also be helpful to improve the managemental approach for
the health of mothers and their kids.
Characterization of fault plane and coseismic slip for the 2 May 2020, Mw 6.6 Cretan Passage earthquake from tide gauge tsunami data and moment tensor solutions

Published: December 2021

Abstract. We present a source solution for the tsunami generated by the Mw 6.6 earthquake that occurred on 2 May 2020, about 80 km offshore south of
Crete, in the Cretan Passage, on the shallow portion of the Hellenic Arc
subduction zone (HASZ). The tide gauges recorded this local tsunami on the
southern coast of Crete and Kasos island. We used Crete tsunami
observations to constrain the geometry and orientation of the causative
fault, the rupture mechanism, and the slip amount. We first modelled an
ensemble of synthetic tsunami waveforms at the tide gauge locations,
produced for a range of earthquake parameter values as constrained by some
of the available moment tensor solutions. We allow for both a splay and a
back-thrust fault, corresponding to the two nodal planes of the moment
tensor solution. We then measured the misfit between the synthetic and the
Ierapetra observed marigram for each source parameter set. Our results
identify the shallow, steeply dipping back-thrust fault as the one producing
the lowest misfit to the tsunami data. However, a rupture on a lower angle
fault, possibly a splay fault, with a sinistral component due to the oblique
convergence on this segment of the HASZ, cannot be completely ruled out.
This earthquake reminds us that the uncertainty regarding potential
earthquake mechanisms at a specific location remains quite significant. In
this case, for example, it is not possible to anticipate if the next event
will be one occurring on the subduction interface, on a splay fault, or on a
back-thrust, which seems the most likely for the event under investigation.
This circumstance bears important consequences because back-thrust and splay
faults might enhance the tsunamigenic potential with respect to the
subduction interface due to their steeper dip. Then, these results are
relevant for tsunami forecasting in the framework of both the long-term
hazard assessment and the early warning systems.
Die Ästhetik der Schoah in Elfriede Jelineks Die Kinder der Toten und Neid. Privatroman
Authors: Ursachi Irina 
Published: December 2021

Jelineks Romane Die Kinder der Toten und Neid. Privatroman erinnern an das dunkle Kapitel in der österreichischen Geschichte, nämlich an den „Anschluss“ im März 1938 und die Involviertheit von Österreichern/innen an den Massenverbrechen im Nationalsozialismus.
In diesem Beitrag werden Jelineks Erzähltechniken zur kritischen Darstellung einer Schoah-Ästhetik in den ausgewählten Romanen herausgearbeitet: die Neigung zur abstrakten und unpräzisen Statistik, die Einschübe in die Romanhandlungen, die einer Darstellung der Zeit des Austrofaschismus und des Nationalsozialismus dienen. Anhand der Symbolisierung der Opfer und der Täter/innen wird sowohl die von der Schoah hinterlassene Leere im Gedächtnis gefüllt als auch die Abwesenheit der Opfer repräsentiert.

Published: December 2021

In India, fruit flies have been identified as one of the ten most serious problems of agriculture because of their polyphagous nature and the huge economic loss it causes to the fruits and vegetables (2.5 to 100%). Study was carried to determine the population dynamics of fruit flies (Bactrocera dorsalis and Bactrocera zonata) and establish the correlation with abiotic factors in guava and citrus fruits crops in two agro ecological zones of North West India. Fruit flies population was recorded by installation of pheromone traps in different fruit crop ecosystems during the fruiting season of this zone. The data of trap catches of both the locations was correlated with the significantly influencing abiotic parameters. The peak fruit fly incidence varied between 31st to 34th standard weeks in guava ecosystem at both the locations. In citrus ecosystem, the incidence was highest during 35th and 39th standard weeks coinciding with the ripening of the fruits. At both the locations, trap catches of guava ecosystem were positively correlated with all the weather parameters, while under citrus ecosystem minimum temperature and rainfall showed negative correlation, but relative humidity was positively correlated. Information may be utilized in targeting suitable pest management techniques for respective zones.

Published: December 2021

Oil palm yield is very responsive to weather fluctuations in the growing season. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between yield variation and climate trends in the major oil palm-growing regions, especially in Southern Thailand (Chumphon; CP, Ranong; RN, Krabi; KB, Trang; TR, Satun; ST, Phang-Nga; PN, SuratThani; SR and Nakhon Si Thammarat; NS) where oil palm has been grown in a large plantation. Monthly weather variables from 16 agricultural meteorological stations were analyzed by linear and non-linear regressions over 28 years in each major oil palm-producing region. To evaluate the trends of changes in weather parameters and yield, a statistical model was developed for estimating oil palm yield based on climatic trends during 1994-2017. The results showed that warming trends were observed at all major oil palm-growing regions. There were pieces of evidence of significant correlation in temperature trends which had the strongest values in KB (Tmax, R2=0.534**) and PN (Tmin, R2=0.670**). The highest trends of ET and RH were also markedly increased in SR (R2=0.618**). Whereas precipitation trend had slightly increasing changes in CP (R2=0.220**) and PN (R2=0.233**). In addition, the annual trends in the values of Heliothermal Index, Dryness Index and Cool Night Index were markedly increased in NS, RN and KB, respectively. Comparing climate variables and yield variations over 19 years, the study indicated that the relationships between observed yield and estimated yield had highly significant differences in CP (R2=0.468**), SR (R2=0.735***) and NS (R2=0.579***), but there was lower value in KB (R2=0.098*) than those of the other regions. Therefore, this study indicates that recent climate trends have had an implicit effect on oil palm yield in the major producing regions in Southern Thailand. This study could be a guideline to further planning for oil palm management.

Authors: Saartje Mandey Jet , Nery Sompie Florencia 
Published: December 2021

Phytoadditives in animal nutrition have attracted a lot of attention for their potential role as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters. Phytoadditives are feed additives originated from plants or botanicals that are used in poultry nutrition. This chapter provides an overview about the potency of alternative additive from plants as a basis for exploring it as a phytoadditive for poultry. These substances are derived from herbs, spices, and other plants and their extracts. They are natural, less toxic, residue free and ideal feed additives for poultry when compared to synthetic antibiotics. There efficacy of phytogenic applications in poultry nutrition depends on several factors, such as composition and feed inclusion level of phytogenic preparations, bird genetics, and overall diet composition. Addition of 100 mg/kg feed essential oils consist of carvacrol, thymol and limonene in matrix encapsulation improved performance and apparent ideal digestibility of nutrients of broiler chickens. Besides enhancing performance, phytogenic also has antioxidant, the effects of which are associated with essential oils (EOs) and their components. Administration of eucalyptus and peppermint oil blends by oral (0.25 ml/L drinking water) and spray route (0.1 ml/20 ml water) reduced Newcastle disease infection in broilers. Phytoadditives have antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, antitoxigenic, antiparasitic and insecticidal properties. The benefits of using phytoadditives in poultry nutrition are increased feed intake, stimulation of digestion, increased growth performance, reduced incidence of disease, improved reproductive parameters, feed efficiency, profitability. Based on the latest scientific findings presented in this chapter, the following main conclusions have been drawn that phytomolecule and that bioactives have potential to be developed as an alternative additive for poultry, and that promote health.
La revista Militancia Peronista para la Liberación (1973-1974) y su “Sección Polémica”: una representación del intercambio epistolar entre obreros de base
Authors: Stavale Mariela 
Published: December 2021

Este artículo analiza una revista de la nueva izquierda argentina: Militancia Peronista para la Liberación (1973-74). La publicación es expresiva de una corriente específica dentro del peronismo revolucionario: “el alternativismo” que, a comparación con otros actores, ha sido poco estudiada. También, expresa el proceso de transformación identitaria para el grupo político que surgió en torno a la publicación, visibilizando una vía de radicalización política particular: la “izquierdización” del peronismo. Aquí nos concentramos en el análisis de la Sección Polémica, que representa un intercambio epistolar entre personajes obreros y peronistas. A diferencia del resto de las notas periódicas de la revista, Sección Polémica supuso un “contrato de lectura” específico, con lógicas propias y la construcción de múltiples lectores. Como veremos, la sección es un prisma a partir del cual es posible mostrar aquel proceso de transformación identitaria y los sentidos de un peronismo en disputa, reconstruyendo las apuestas del grupo político y los debates con los sectores internos del movimiento peronista, Perón y, también, con las organizaciones movimientistas del peronismo revolucionario.

Overexpression of fucosyltransferase 8 reverses the inhibitory effect of high-dose dexamethasone on osteogenic response of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts
Authors: Wu Zhiming , Lin Tianye , Kang Pan , Zhuang Zhikun , Wang Haibin , He Wei , Wei Qiushi , Li Ziqi 
Published: December 2021

Background
Core fucosylation catalyzed by FUT8 is essential for TGF-β binding to TGF-β receptors.

Methods
Indirect TGF-β1 binding assay was used to evaluate the ability of TGF-β1 to bind to TGFBRs, Alizarin red and alkaline phosphatase staining were used to detect osteogenic differentiation and mineralization ability , western blot and quantitative RT-PCR were used to measure the differential expression of osteogenesis-related proteins and genes. Plasmid-mediated gain-of-function study. The scale of core fucosylation modification was detected by Lectin-blot and LCA laser confocal.

Results
Our results showed that compared with vehicle treatment, high-dose (10−6 and 10−5 M) dexamethasone significantly inhibited cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and FUT8 mRNA expression while promoting mRNA expression of adipogenesis-related genes in MC3T3-E1 cells, suggesting that downregulation of FUT8 is involved in the inhibitory effect of high-dose dexamethasone on osteogenesis. Overexpression of FUT8 significantly promoted osteogenic differentiation and activated TGF-β/Smad signaling in MC3T3-E1 cells in the presence of high-dose dexamethasone, suggesting that FUT8 reverses the inhibitory effect of high-dose dexamethasone on osteogenesis. In addition, lectin fluorescent staining and blotting showed that overexpression of FUT8 significantly reversed the inhibitory effects of high-dose dexamethasone on core fucosylation of TGFBR1 and TGFBR2. Furthermore, indirect TGF-β1 binding assay showed that overexpression of FUT8 remarkably promoted TGF-β1 binding to TGFBRs in MC3T3-E1 cells in the presence of high-dose dexamethasone.

Conclusions
Taken together, these results suggest that overexpression of FUT8 facilitates counteracting the inhibitory effect of dexamethasone on TGF-β signaling and osteogenesis.

Published: December 2021

AbstractManipulation of heat distribution in the material is a long‐term goal that has been pursued in the field of thermal functional materials. Various thermal manipulation methods have been successfully developed, some of which have realized gorgeous thermal patterns. However, existing thermal functional materials are either difficult to avoid introducing massive external heaters and cables or it is hard to achieve dynamic thermal manipulation with a high thermal resolution and accuracy. In addition, the complicated manufacturing process also limits the wide application of thermal functional materials. Herein, a computed thermal patterning method is proposed, which can dynamically achieve a freewheeling thermal manipulation in the highly versatile and easily manufactured multi‐layered material. This method first introduces the principle of tomography into the thermal manipulation by treating heat beams as light energy via a multi‐angled rhythmical superposition, enabling the human characters to be written, paintings to be drawn, movies to be played, without embedding any external heaters or cables. A particular thermal diffusion problem in the tomographic process is solved by developing an inverse thermal diffusion optimization. Experimental cases demonstrate the great potential of this method in multi‐zoned thermal forming, encrypted messaging, 3D thermal printing, and morphing.

AbstractHybrid capacitors exhibit promise to bridge the gap between rechargeable high‐energy density batteries and high‐power density supercapacitors. This separation is due to sluggish ion/electron diffusion and inferior structural stability of battery‐type materials. Here, a topochemistry‐driven method for constructing expanded 2D rhenium selenide intercalated by nitrogen‐doped carbon hybrid (E‐ReSe2@INC) with a strong‐coupled interface and weak van der Waals forces, is proposed. X‐ray absorption spectroscopy analysis dynamically tracks the transformation from ReO into ReC bonds. The bridging bonds act as electron transport channels to enable improved conductivity and accelerated reaction kinetics. The expanded interlayer‐spacing of ReSe2 layer by INC facilitates ion diffusion and ensures structural stability. As expected, the E‐ReSe2@INC achieves an improved rate capability (252.5 mAh g−1 at 20 A g−1) and long‐term cyclability (89.6% over 3500 cycles). Moreover, theoretical simulations reveal the favorable Na+ storage kinetics can be ascribed to its low bonding energy of −0.06 eV and diffusion barrier of 0.08 eV for sodium ions. Additionally, it is demonstrated that 3D printed sodium‐ion hybrid capacitors deliver high energies/power densities of 81.4 Wh kg−1/0.32 mWh cm−2 and 9992.1 W kg−1/38.76 mW cm−2, as well as applicability in a wide temperature range.
