Characterization and Chemistry of Sexual Communication in Two Psyllid Pests of Pears (Homoptera: Psyllidae)
Authors: Horton David , Soroker Victoria , Landolt Peter , Zada Byers Anat 
Published: December 2021

Pear-feeding psyllids in the genus Cacopsylla (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) are among the most important arthropod pests of pears worldwide. These pests are exceedingly difficult to control, and new management tools are needed. Sex attractantpheromones have been used in IPM programs for pests of pome fruits (especially Lepidoptera), but not as yet for pest Hemiptera. Results of the current project showed that males of two psyllid pests of pears, Cacopsylla bidens (Israel) and Cacopsylla pyricola (North America), use volatile or semi-volatile compounds to locate female psyllids for mating. For both species, the attractants can be collected from the cuticle of females by washing live female psyllids with an appropriate solvent. Analysis of these washes by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry led to the following discoveries: Psyllid cuticles contain a mix of hydrocarbons, straight chain and branched alkanes, and long chain aldehydes The two species have different chemical profiles Chemical profiles change seasonally and with reproductive status Chemical profiles differ between male and reproductive female psyllids Several specific compounds found to be more abundant in attractive females than males were identified and synthesized. Behavioral assays (olfactometer) were then used to determine whether these compounds were attractive to males. Two compounds showed promise as attractants for male psyllids: 7-methylheptacosane (C. bidens) and 13-methylheptacosane (C. pyricola and C. bidens). These are the first sex attractantpheromones identified for any psyllid species. Field tests showed that the chemicals could be used to attract males under orchard conditions, but that effectiveness in the field appeared to be seasonally variable. Future research plans include: (a) test mixtures of compounds; (b) explore seasonality in field response to compounds; (c) determine whether chirality of the two compounds affects their attractiveness; and (d) compare different types of traps and release devices to optimize lure performance.

Studying the Involvement of the Linker Protein CWLP and its Homologue in Cytoskeleton-plasma Membrane-cell Wall Continuum and in Drought Tolerance
Authors: Zilberstein Aviah , Liu Bo , Sadot Einat 
Published: December 2021

The study has been focused on proline-rich proteins from the HyPRP family. Three proline-rich proteins have been characterized with the CWLP as the main objective. We showed that this unique protein is assembled in the plasma membrane (PM) and forms a continuum between the cell wall (CW) and cytosol via the PM. While spanning the PM, it is arranged in lipid rafts as CWLP-aquaporin complexes that recruit PP2A-β”, as a part of PP2A enzyme, close to the aquaporin moiety where it dephosphorylates two crucial Ser residues and induces closure of the aquaporin water channels. The closure of water channels renders cells more tolerant to plasmolysis and plants to dehydration. This unique effect was observed not only in Arabidopsis, but also in potato plants over expressing the CWLP, suggesting a possible usage in crop plants as a valve that reduces loss of water or/and elevates cold resistance. The CWLP is a member of the HyPRP protein family that all possess structurally similar 8CM domain, predicted to localize to PM lipid rafts. In this study, two additional highly homologous HyPRP proteins were also studied. The GPRP showed the same localization and it’s over expression increased tolerance to lack of water. However, the third one, PRP940, despite sharing high homology in the 8CM domain, is completely different and is assembled in parallel to cortical microtubules in the cell. Moreover, our data suggest that this protein is not involved in rendering plants resistant to lack of water. We suggest implying CWLP as a tool for better regulation of water maintenance in crop plants.

Published: December 2021

The paper provides a detailed analysis of the impact of automated vehicles using eco-cruise control system on the traffic flow. The speed profiles of vehicles using eco-cruise control system generally differ from those of conventional human-driven vehicles. The characteristics of the traffic flow on macroscopic traffic level combine both automated and human-driven vehicles. In the simulation-based analysis the effects of traffic volume and the ratio of the automated vehicles are in the focus. Based on the results the analysis an extension of the eco-cruise control is also proposed, in which the balance between the traffic flow and transport efficiency is achieved.

Authors: Barnadi Yudi 
Published: December 2021

Luasnya perairan nasional menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi pemerintah dalam upaya pengamanan wilayah laut dari tindakan pelanggaran hukum. Indonesia perlu mengawasi betul-betul wilayah yang paling rawan agar sumber daya ikan nasional bisa dinikmati oleh masyarakat. Caranya, pangkalan bagi kapal-kapal pengawas (KKP, Bakamla, TNI AL) perlu dibangun di wilayah tersebut. Salah satu upaya yang perlu dilakukan yaitu peningkatan pengawasan secara ketat pemerintah dengan cara meningkatkan keamanan sekaligus menyusun aturan yang tepat agar bisa mencegah terjadinya pelanggaran hukum. kemampuan TNI AL dan Polri untuk menjaga seluruh wilayah laut, maka mereka harus menggunakan radar pengawas pantai. Radar pulsa ini mempunyai gelombang elektromagnetik yang diputus secara berirama, dan hanya memiliki satu antena yang digunakan untuk mengirim dan menerima sinyal. Untuk mengirim dan menerima sinyal, radar ini membutuhkan pemisah yang disebut duplekser. Duplekser berfungsi untuk mengisolasi sinyal yang ditransmisikan dan sinyal yang diterima dan komponen utama dari duplexer adalah Branch-Line Hybrid Coupler. Coupler memiliki parameter yang menunjukkan kinerja seperti: Return Loss, Power Coupling, Insertion Loss dan nilai isolasi. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh perubahan dimensi terhadap nilai isolasi pada Branch line coupler. Isolasi sangat penting karena mempengaruhi kinerja duplekser. Nilai yang lebih kecil semakin baik kinerja duplekser tersebut. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan memodifikasi panjang dan lebar saluran impedansi Coupler. Branch-Line Coupler dirancang dalam bentuk mikrostrip dan difabrikasi menggunakan substrat FR-4 yang memiliki konstanta dielektrik 4,6, tebal 1,3 mm, dan frekuensi operasi 3 GHz. Untuk mendapatkan nilai optimasi karakteristik isolasi, kanal impedansi harus dimodifikasi, yaitu panjang dan lebar seri lengan (Z0 = 50 ), panjang dan lebar seri lengan (Z0 = 35,35 ), dan panjang dan lebar lengan shunt (Z0 = 50 ). Hasil optimasi isolasi didapatkan -67.786 dB.

DISCURSOS SOBRE A “IDEOLOGIA DE GÊNERO” EM POSTAGENS DE DEPUTADOS FEDERAIS DO PSL NO INSTAGRAM
Authors: Vieira da Silva Francisco , Danrley Barra de Menezes Rafael 
Published: December 2021

Neste artigo, busca-se analisar como discursivamente a “ideologia de gênero” constitui-se em discursos políticos do Instagram, por meio de relações de saber-poder, e de que modo esses dizeres implicam nas políticas públicas e nas abordagens e debates sobre gênero e sexualidade no interior da escola. Para tanto, são analisadas quatro postagens na rede social Instagram de deputados federais que formam a base aliada do governo de Jair Bolsonaro, a saber: Chris Tonietto (PSL/RJ), Carolina de Toni (PSL/SC), Soraya Manoto (PSL/ES) e Filipe Barros (PSL/PR). Do ponto de vista metodológico, trata-se de um estudo descritivo-interpretativo de natureza qualitativa. As análises apontam que a “ideologia de gênero” é construída como um objeto de discurso por meio de instâncias como a religião e a lei, as quais emolduram determinadas verdades, por meio de efeitos de saber-poder. Essas verdades, no funcionamento do discurso político na web, partem de grades de especificação que recortam a “ideologia de gênero” como uma prática predominantemente nociva para os valores familiares e, por isso, deve ser excluída do ambiente escolar. Além disso, foi possível averiguar que as relações de saber-poder, ancoradas na conexão entre religião e política, procuram governar moralmente os corpos e as sexualidades dos sujeitos em idade escolar.

Authors: Jud Philipp , Pregartner Gudrun , Berghold Andrea , Rief Peter , Muster Viktoria , Gütl Katharina , Brodmann Marianne , Hafner Franz 
Published: December 2021

Objectives: Hypothenar hammer syndrome (HHS) is a rare vascular disease caused by blunt trauma of the hypothenar region. The optimal therapeutic strategy remains debatably since no large comparative studies are available yet. We want to evaluate the effectiveness of intra-arterial thrombolysis on angiographic and clinical outcome parameters in patients with HHS by performing a systematic review of the existing literature.Methods: A literature search of PUBMED/MEDLINE and SCIENCE DIRECT databases was performed up to May 2021.Results: In total, 16 manuscripts with 43 patients were included in the systematic review. Intra-arterial thrombolysis led to angiographic improvement in 29 patients (67.4%) and to clinical improvement in 34 patients (79.1%). Deterioration of arterial perfusion or clinical symptoms after thrombolysis were absent. Post-interventional complications were reported in only one patient (2.3%) without any bleeding complication. Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that a combined administration of fibrinolytics and heparin was associated with a significantly improved arterial patency [OR 12.57 (95% CI 2.48–97.8), p = 0.005] without significant amelioration of clinical symptoms [OR 3.20 (95% CI 0.6–18.9), p = 0.172]. The use of rt-PA compared to other fibrinolytics and a prolonged thrombolysis duration of more than 24 h did not show statistically significant effects. Intra-arterial thrombolysis was significantly less effective in patients who had undergone thrombolysis with a delay of more than 30 days regarding clinical improvement [OR 0.07 (95% CI 0.00–0.54), p = 0.024].Conclusions: Intra-arterial thrombolysis with a combination of fibrinolytics and heparin is an effective and safe therapeutic option in patients with acute HHS.
Effects of Hot Balloon vs. Cryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression
Authors: Peng Xinyi , Liu Xiao , Tian Hongbo , Chen Yu , Li Xuexun 
Published: December 2021

Background: Balloon-based catheter ablations, including hot balloon ablation (HBA) and cryoballoon ablation (CBA), have rapidly emerged as alternative modalities to conventional catheter atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation owing to their impressive procedural advantages and better clinical outcomes and safety. However, the differences in characteristics, effectiveness, safety, and efficacy between HBA and CBA remain undetermined. This study compares the characteristic and prognosis differences between HBA and CBA.Methods: Electronic search was conducted in six databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrial.gov, and medRxiv) with specific search strategies. Eligible studies were selected based on specific criteria; all records were identified up to June 1, 2021. The mean difference, odds ratios (ORs), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the clinical outcomes. Heterogeneity and risk of bias were assessed using predefined criteria.Results: Seven studies were included in the final meta-analysis. Compared with CBA, more patients in the HBA group had residual conduction and required a higher incidence of touch-up ablation (TUA) [OR (95% CI) = 2.76 (2.02–3.77), P = 0.000]. The most frequent sites of TUA were the left superior pulmonary veins (PVs) in the HBA group vs. the right inferior PVs in the CBA group. During HBA surgery, the left and right superior PVs were more likely to have a higher fluid injection volume. Furthermore, the procedure time was longer in the HBA group than in the CBA group [weighted mean difference (95% CI) = 14.24 (4.39–24.09), P = 0.005]. Patients in the CBA group could have an increased risk of AF occurrence, and accepted more antiarrhythmic drug therapy; however, the result was insignificant.Conclusions: HBA and CBA are practical ablation approaches for AF treatment. Patients who received HBA had a higher incidence of TUA and longer procedure time. Clinical outcomes during the mid-term follow-up between HBA and CBA were comparable.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.php?RecordID=259487, identifier: CRD42021259487.
The Physical, Psychological, and Social Day-to-Day Experience of Women Living With Endometriosis Compared to Healthy Age-Matched Controls—A Mixed-Methods Study
Authors: Olliges Elisabeth , Bobinger Alina , Weber Annemarie , Hoffmann Verena , Schmitz Timo , Popovici Roxana M. , Meissner Karin 
Published: December 2021

Background: Endometriosis is characterized by lesions of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Chronic pain is considered as main symptom, but challenges can relate to various physical, mental, and social aspects of the women's lives. The aim of our study was to gain a holistic understanding of the everyday reality of women with endometriosis compared to healthy controls.Methods: The total sample comprised 12 hormone-free endometriosis patients (EP) and 11 age-matched healthy women (HC). A mixed-methods design was used comprising semi-structured interviews, standardized questionnaires and a comprehensive diary to assess pain ratings and various mental and physical symptoms over the course of a menstrual cycle. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and evaluated according to phenomenological analysis using the MAXQDA software.Results: Interviews showed that living with endometriosis was associated with an impairment in everyday life. Physical strains, especially pain, high levels of psychological distress, and social limitations have been reported. Living with endometriosis affected the patients' personality and they “no longer felt like themselves.” Physical and psychological symptoms were reported to interfere with social interaction and participation. Evaluation of the standardized questionnaires revealed significant impairments in EP compared to HC in regard to anxiety and depression scores (both p &lt; 0.001; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), mental and physical quality of life (both p &lt; 0.001; Short-Form Health Survey-12), stress ratings (p &lt; 0.001; Patient Health Questionnaire-15) and functional well-being (p &lt; 0.001; Functional Well-being-7). The highest levels of mean pelvic pain and dyschezia were observed in EP during menstruation, but mean pain ratings and dyschezia were increased in EPs compared to HP during the whole cycle. EP reported mental symptoms (e.g., depressed mood or anxiety) mainly during menstruation, while HC did not show any mental symptoms during the cycle. In addition, physical symptoms were elevated during the entire cycle in EPs (all p &lt; 0.01).Discussion: The mixed-methods approach enabled to interpret the interviews, the standardized questionnaires, and the symptom diary in a broader context of everyday life. The symptoms do not appear to act independently, but rather influence each other. This leads to a complex interplay of physical, mental, and social impairments, with pain often being the starting point.
